《Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All》 Chapter 1 If I Have a Few Years Left to Live Dong Xi¡¯s body seemed to be torn apart. Every inch of her bones, flesh, and blood was in excruciating pain. Her eyelids seemed to weigh thousands of kilograms, and it was very difficult to open them. The candlelight in front of her was dark red, and her eyes were hazy with blood. A woman¡¯szy voice came to her ear. This voice was sometimes far and sometimes near. Dong Xi even suspected that she was dreaming when she heard it. ¡°My good sister, you took my ce and entered the Celestial Gate. Did you ever think that you would end up like this?¡± Dong Xi wanted to say something, but the sound of her bones breaking rang out. Pain instantly enveloped Dong Xi. Unable to bear it, she cried out in pain. This... This was not a dream. The pain was extremely real. Dong Xi struggled to open her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. She was dressed in an ancient style and held a sharp sword in her hand. Dong Xi had never seen this person before. ¡°Sister, your bones aren¡¯t hard enough. Is this all you¡¯ve got?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t even use much strength, how could they be broken so easily?¡± The woman¡¯s tone was light and cheery, as if she was showing off what she had done. Blood flowed down Dong Xi¡¯s forehead. Dong Xi wanted to raise her hand to wipe it away, but she found that his arm had long been a bloody mess. She could not exert any strength at all. At this time, another voice sounded, seemingly a little hurried. He had an urgent tone. ¡°Rou Rou, don¡¯t waste any more time.¡± ¡°The Secret Realm is about to open. Let¡¯s end it now.¡± ¡­ This was the first time Dong Xi felt heartbroken. The woman held a sharp sword and ruthlessly pierced through Dong Xi¡¯s chest. Dong Xi took onest look at the woman and deeply engraved her face in her mind. If there was a next life, Dong Xi would definitely ask her why she had treated her like this. What had she done wrong? When she opened her eyes again, Dong Xi was standing outside the Ningtian Sect. At this moment, she still felt a dull pain in his chest. The stinging sunlight made her feel a little dazed. The surrounding scene was still unfamiliar. For a moment, Dong Xi did not know where she was or what time it was. The noise of a group of children brought him back to her senses. Dong Xi looked around. There were children around him who were about the same age. The oldest was no older than 14 years old, and the youngest was about 7 or 8 years old. These children were talking about spirit roots. Dong Xi did not quite understand what they were talking about. Her head was dizzy. She raised her hand to gently massage her temples, and arge amount of memories rushed into her mind. Dong Xi had actually transmigrated into a book, and it was a book that he had been reading for the past few days. There was an unlucky female supporting character in the book who had the same name as her. At that time, Dong Xi had thought that it was such a coincidence that there was a character with the same name as her. But in the blink of an eye, Dong Xi had really be the ¡®Dong Xi¡¯ in the book. This was too tragic. The older brother of the female protagonist, Dong Tianya, saved the descendant of an elder of the Ningtian Sect. In order to repay Dong Tianya¡¯s kindness, the elder promised to give his younger sister a chance to enter the sect. When the mother of the female protagonist, Madam Dong, found out about this, she secretly reced the female protagonist with her own daughter. However, they did not expect the female protagonist¡¯s talent to be so outstanding that even without a sect, she still entered the Dao with martial arts. The matter of the female supporting character recing the female protagonist had also spread throughout the Xianxia world. The Ningtian Sect wanted this good seedling to join them and immediately found out what the Dong family had done in the past. In order to prove their sincerity, the Ningtian Sect decisively expelled the female supporting character. The female supporting character¡¯s aptitude was somewhat poor. After recing the female protagonist, she was still an ordinary outer sect disciple for so long. Even when she was driven out, she was only a level 4 Qi Refinement disciple. What was even more unfortunate was that as soon as the female supporting character was driven out, she fell into the hands of a demon cultivator. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was used like a cauldron for cultivation, and she suffered all kinds of torture. When she finally managed to escape, she was caught by her Eldest Senior Brother, who she had once liked. She was then handed over to the female lead, Dong Rourou, so that she could take revenge for recing her all those years ago. Dong Xi had taken the role of this female supporting character. However, what Dong Xi had not expected was that this revenge would actually cause all her bones to be shattered, and she would then use medicinal pills to hang on to her life. If it were not for her Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s anxious urging, Dong Rourou would probably use even more tricks to torture Dong Xi. It was extremely cruel. To Dong Xi¡¯s surprise, she died a tragic death the first time she transmigrated into a book. Then, she was reborn to the time when she first reced Dong Rourou to enter the Ningtian Sect. At that time, Dong Xi was only ten years old. The original owner of the body had regretted it countless times and had vowed that if she had another chance, she would nevere to the Ningtian Sect again. However, the current Dong Xi was from the 21st century. Chapter 2 Making a Choice Right now, Dong Xi had two choices. One was to take a step forward, and risk repeating the torture she had experienced. The other was to take a step back, and go into the open world, like a free bird. Without any hesitation, Dong Xi chose to enter Ningtian Sect. Although the world outside was very exciting, and birds could fly in the sky, she had to be able to fly first. Dong Xi had just taken her college entrance examination before she transmigrated and entered the book. She knew nothing at this point. If she chose to leave, how would she survive? In just a few years, Dong Xi would be dead. However, in order to enter the sect, one must have spirit roots. The original owner¡¯s mother had somehow found out that the original owner had spirit roots, so she had boldly let Dong Xi rece Dong Rourou in order to fight for a good future and a good life. However, Dong Xi herself knew that even if she had the fate to enter the sect, she would not have the fate to ascend. The original owner¡¯s spirit root qualification was just barely enough to enter the Ningtian Sect. If she did not have any fortuitous encounters in her life, she would only be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage for the rest of her life. It was impossible for her to advance any further. At this time, the disciple in charge of testing her spirit root said indifferently, ¡°Three spiritual roots. Fire, wood, earth. The main root is fire. Root value is 71,56,48.¡± Dong Xi had yet toe back to her senses. She just stood there in a daze, not knowing if her choice was right or wrong. However, if she did not give it a try, she was somewhat unwilling. Since she had already transmigrated, what if she could defy the heavens and change her fate? At this moment, someone beside Dong Xi nudged him and said in a rough voice, ¡°Go over there and wait.¡± Only then did Dong Xie back to her senses. She realized that the person who had spoken was her Master who had brought her to the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi obediently nodded her head and walked to the side. The Master who had brought her here had a look of disappointment in her eyes. After going through so much trouble, Dong Xi was only a three spirit root. She thought that it would be better, so she grumbled to herself in dissatisfaction, ¡°I went through so much trouble, but I brought back a three spirit root owner.¡± ¡°This way, that favor that Master owes can be considered to be paid off.¡± ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s leave it at that. The sect is so big, so they must be in need ofbor, right? ¡± ¡°If just forbor work, she should be able to stay in the sect. Look at her small body, the second round of the test will be tough.¡± Dong Xi was silent. She took a few quick steps forward and stood in the crowd. She let out a breath of air. ording to the original book, the host should have the attributes of wood, fire, and water. It was because water and fire were ipatible that her cultivation had always been tough. How did it be fire, wood, and earth? Could it be that it was because she came through the book that caused this? Dong Xi was puzzled, and thosements about the state of mind not far away were automatically blocked. Was the three spirit root very bad? As long as one had spirit roots, one could cultivate. No matter what, she was a student of Peking University in her previous life. Although she had not had time to go to school, in this life, Dong Xi did not hope to be able to ascend. She only hoped to be able to live a stable life. Even though she would only be an outer sect disciple in the future, so what? What¡¯s wrong with working? As long as she worked hard, there would definitely be gains. Even if her cultivation could not improve, it was also a good thing to work hard to earn more spirit stones. When that female protagonist appears out of nowhere a few yearster, even if her cultivation had not been good all these years, as long as she had enough spirit stones, she would be able to survive after leaving this ce. The sect did not support the current disciples. All new disciples could receive some basic pills and a small number of spirit stones every month during their first year. After this year, whether it was cultivation techniques, clothing, food, amodation, or transportation, they would have to bear the burden themselves. Therefore, while cultivating, it was best to save up some spirit stones. This was so that when Dong Rourou came, Dong Xi could immediately grab her bag and run away with the spirit stones. If the Ningtian Sect was a listedpany, then those inner sect disciples and personal disciples were thepany¡¯s management. They had to rely on low-ranked workers like Dong Xi to support them. Of course, if they encountered any disaster one day, these people would also take the lead to stand out and share the burden of the sect. Low-ranked disciples like Dong Xi could only watch. Dong Xi stood silently in the crowd. There were about 80 to 90 people in this group. After all of them had finished their selection, there might be more than 200 people who would go through the second round of the test. If they passed the second round of the ¡®Path of Truth¡¯, they would be considered to have joined the Ningtian Sect. Since most of the people who came to participate in the selection were children with pure hearts, they would basically all pass the second round of the test. Before Dong Xi stepped on the Path of Truth, she was also very curious. She had not done anything bad in her previous life. She was just a student, and she had already taken the college entrance examination. She had also been admitted to one of the best universities with excellent results. It could be said that she was quite perfect, leaving many people in the dust. She should not have any Inner Demons, right? Even if there was, what would her Inner Demon be? Chapter 3 An Inner Demon That She Could Not Even Dream Of Dong Xi walked on the Path of Truth. Never in her dreams would she have thought that she had an Inner Demon that had been bothering her all this time. At this moment, Dong Xi suddenly sat down at the desk. A mock exam paper was ced in front of her. It was the mathematics paper for the college entrance exam. Dong Xi was somewhat speechless. This damned high school mathematics paper actually still haunted her in this world of Immortal cultivation. Numbers had always been Dong Xi¡¯s nightmare. Function geometry was rtively simple, but numbers had always been a challenge for her. It had been almost two months since the college entrance examination. She had already forgotten some of the things she studied, but this question had long been engraved in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. So this was her Inner Demon. Dong Xi picked up the pen beside her and began to write at a high speed. After solving over a hundred math problems, the Inner Demon finally let Dong Xi go. The fantasy in front of her also disappeared. What appeared in front of her was a flight of steps that extended to the clouds. There were already over 100 people on the steps. After all, there were only a few people like Dong Xi who had been attacked by an Inner Demon as soon as they stepped on the steps. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She had to hurry up. She had wasted a lot of time on her Inner Demon. Dong Xi immediately used all four limbs to scamper up. Although her movements were not beautiful, they were very practical. Soon, Dong Xi surpassed more than 20 people. Some people were disdainful when they saw Dong Xi¡¯s movements, and they did not imitate her at all. However, some people were inspired. It did not matter whether they looked good or not, as long as they passed the test. The original owner of Dong Xi¡¯s body was still a youngdy and was not very old. Even if Dong Xi used all her strength, she had only climbed half the way up before he exhausted all her strength. Under the scorching sun, Dong Xi¡¯s entire body seemed to have fallen into a pond as shey limply on the steps. She was also like a salted fish, turning over her body when her buttocks were hot. ording to the rules of Ningtian Sect, if one could not reach the top of the mountain before the sun set, it meant that one¡¯s temperament was not good. No matter how talented a person was, the Ningtian Sect would not ept such a disciple. As a third-year student at the university, one of Dong Xi¡¯s essential skills was to break up difficult problems into smaller pieces. In her mind, she had divided the journey and time of delivery into several periods. At each period, she had toplete a certain journey and had time to rest in between to recover her strength. After closing her eyes and resting for a while, she got up and continued to move upwards at the time and speed she had calcted. She then stopped to rest again to recover some of her strength before climbing again. Finally, Dong Xi sessfully climbed to the top of the mountain. A beam of spiritual light shone over her, sweeping away all the sweat and fatigue on his body. Dong Xi felt that she had recovered. She stood up and cupped her fists towards the sect disciples not far away. ¡°Many thanks, Senior Brother.¡± An elder had seen Dong Xi¡¯s performance throughout the entire journey and found that this girl was not bad. Although her posture along the way was not elegant, she had sessfully reached the finishing point with her own intelligence and wisdom. If she was carefully trained in the future, it might have a good effect. The elder called a disciple over and pointed to Dong Xi as he asked indifferently, ¡°How¡¯s that girl¡¯s aptitude?¡± ¡°It looks quite lively. The pace of the climb is also very good.¡± The disciple followed the elder¡¯s hand and looked at Dong Xi. He picked up the information sent by his Senior Brother and carefully looked through it. After seeing Dong Xi¡¯s information, his eyes were full of disdain. This girl only has three spirit roots. What¡¯s the use of being clever? in the end, she can only be an outer sect disciple, and the kind that does odd jobs around the sect. The disciple said truthfully, ¡°Elder, this girl is called Dong Xi. Shees from Fan City, ten years old, and has three spirit roots.¡± At first, the elder was quite interested, but when he heard that there were only three spirit roots, he immediately lost interest. He only said ¡®it¡¯s a pity¡¯, and went to check on the other children. The sun gradually set and the sky slowly darkened. The bell of the Ningtian Sect rang throughout the entire sect. Dong Xi looked at the people around her and found that only 80 to 90 people had sessfully walked the Path of Truth. A portion of these people would be chosen by the elders to be the inner sect¡¯s direct disciples. Some would be like Dong Xi and enter the outer sect. No matter where they went, they were d to join the Ningtian Sect. The sect?was also happy to have 80 to 90 new workers. A sect disciple standing in front said to the crowd, ¡°Those standing here have all passed the test of the Path of Turth. They are all people with strong hearts.¡± ¡°Joining the Ningtian Sect today is only the first step of your cultivation.¡± ¡°For the next three days, choose your own mountain and you can start cultivating.¡± Chapter 4 Alchemy Sect Dong Xi looked at the group of children beside her, whose eyes were shining. She only felt that her heart was in the old city, and she was somewhat out of ce here. As for which mountain she would go to, Dong Xi had already decided long ago. The Alchemy Sect was the best ce to go. In the original book, she had gone to the Alchemy Sect, which was why she had met her Senior Brother, who was always on Dong Rourou¡¯s side. However, Dong Xi could not choose an unsuitable ce just to avoid what might happen in the future. Her spirit root had been tested. Fire, wood, earth. With these attributes, if she did not go for alchemy, where else could she go? While the others were still hesitating, Dong Xi took her small backpack and quickly ran in the direction of the Alchemy Sect to report. At this time, no one else had reported to the Alchemy Sect. Dong Xi was the first one toe. The disciple in charge of registration stretchedzily in all sorts of ways. When he turned around, there was one more person in front of him. This disciple sized Dong Xi up. After stretching, he sat up properly and asked Dong Xi with a leisurely look, ¡°Oh, you¡¯vee so quickly?¡± Although she came here in a hurry, she still had to be very polite to her Senior Brother. After all, they would see each other often in the future. If she needed help from her Senior Brother, he might even recall her being the first to arrive and help her. Dong Xi chuckled, revealing a row of white teeth. ¡°Hello, Senior Brother.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here earlier to choose a good room!¡± Song Qingfeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This new junior Sister was interesting. Other children would be hesitating about where to go at this time. However, this Junior Sister came to the Alchemy Sect directly. It was not easy to make such a clear choice. However, he still had to ask what he had to ask. ¡°Name, age, and spirit root value?¡± Dong Xi knew that he had to ask this question. It could also be regarded as an early understanding. At that time, it would be easier to decide which disciples to focus their resources on, and which disciples were not suitable. This way, they could also let the unsuitable disciples choose a new ce. After all, it was not easy to enter the sect. Dong Xi immediately became serious and said loudly, ¡°Dong Xi, ten years old. Fire, wood, earth spirit root. The three spirit roots values are 71, 56, and 48, respectively.¡± Song Qingfeng picked up a pen and started to record it in his book. Although this Junior Sister was not bad, it was a pity that she had this kind of spirit root. However, this was not what he should care about. He was only responsible for the registration today. As for what would happen in the future, it was up to his Master to decide. Perhaps she would have a fortuitous encounter in the future and rise to the top. Song Qingfeng continued to ask, ¡°Why did you choose the Alchemy Sect?¡± Dong Xi coughed a few times. Of course, it was because it was appropriate for her story. If she did note to the Alchemy Sect, she would not be wanted anywhere else. However, she could not say it like this. If she said it like this, she was afraid that this Senior Brother would directly send her flying. If that happened, the loss would outweigh the gain. Dong Xi¡¯s face was serious as he said, ¡°I heard that alchemists will be especially rich in the future.¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard the answer. He waved his hand, leaving some ink on the registration book. He pretended to wave his hand casually, and the ink disappeared instantly. At this time, Song Qingfeng looked up at Dong Xi. This girl was too straightforward. Did shee to the Alchemy Sect for money? Everyone else wanted to be the best alchemist. His brows were sharp and his eyes were bright like stars. His eyes were extremely beautiful. Just a simple nce was enough to cause one¡¯s heart to flutter. At this moment, Dong Xi sighed. If this Senior Brother was born in the 21st century, he would definitely be a superstar. However, it was useless to think about this now. It was more important to choose a ce that she liked first. It did not matter whether her Senior Brother was beautiful or not. Dong Xi¡¯s reaction surprised Song Qingfeng. No matter how old a woman was, they would fall for his handsome face. This was also the reason why his Master had asked Song Qingfeng toe here to receive the new disciples. Although the Alchemy Sect could not win against sword cultivators, there were many who came every time. There was no need to do this. Because Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were not as mesmerized as other women¡¯s, song Qingfeng also looked up to her. Such a tough heart at such a young age, perhaps there would be miracles in the future. Song Qingfeng casually threw a storage bag to Dong Xi as if he was throwing away something he did not want. He said lightly, ¡°You¡¯re pretty realistic. This is for the new disciples.¡± ¡°You can go in now. You can choose from any of the houses you can see at the foot of the mountain.¡± ¡°You¡¯re here early, so you can indeed choose a ce to stay.¡± Chapter 5 Choosing a ce to Stay The houses at the foot of the mountain were already upied and were closed. The new disciples did not have any cultivation, so they could not see the houses without owners. Dong Xi took the storage bag Song Qingfeng threw to her and saluted. She thought this Senior Brother was quite interesting. ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother.¡± ¡°How should I address you, Senior Brother?¡± Song Qingfeng rarely paid attention to these new disciples. It was just his personality. Not only these new disciples, but he was also very cold to his fellow disciples. However, this Little Junior Sister was quite interesting, so Song Qingfeng was willing to talk to her. ¡°Song Qingfeng.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard the name. Song Qingfeng was the second Senior Brother of the Alchemy Sect. In the original book, he was very handsome and had a high cultivation. The only thing about him was that he was very cold to everyone. As he said this, a few more disciples came. Dong Xi saw that more people came to report in one after another. She was afraid that they would fight for her room, so she ran to choose a ce to stay. All the new disciples¡¯ residences were at the foot of the mountain. At present, this was all that could be seen. The entire mountain of the Alchemy Sect was shrouded in smoke. It was impossible to see clearly. Dong Xi roughly scanned the houses at the foot of the mountain and quickly chose a house with a nursery in front of the door. This house was a little remote. There was a pond a little further in and it was very clean. After Dong Xi entered the room, the house¡¯s restriction was activated. The house slowly disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. When the other newbies saw it, they understood that the house was now upied. The newbies¡¯ pace could not help but quicken. Everyone wanted to choose a better ce to live. After all, they might spend the next few years in this house. Dong Xi, who was already in the room, sat on a chair leisurely. She opened the storage bag in her hand and poured the contents on the table. There were many things in it. There were the outer sect disciple¡¯s clothes, the Admission Notice, the identity token, a jade slip, and a bottle of pills. Dong Xi touched the clothes on the table. They were smooth and silky to the touch. They were much better than the school uniforms in her previous life. Then, she picked up the entry manual and looked at it. It told these new disciples how to use the identity token and the jade slip. Dong Xi picked up the identity token and swiped it at the door. A ray of light wrapped the whole house. At this time, the housepletely belonged to Dong Xi. People below the Nascent Soul stage could not explore the house. Dong Xi¡¯s heart was filled with a sense of security. She picked up the jade slip on the table and followed the instructions on the entry manual. She closed her eyes and ced the jade slip on her forehead. The jade slip glowed, and the information within it slowly appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. It exined how the Ningtian Sect came about and how it became what it was today. It had been tens of thousands of years since Venerable Ningtian established the sect here. Through the hard work of many disciples, it achieved its current status. There was also a spell for drawing Qi into the body. It told the new disciples that only those who had sessfully drawn Qi into the body could go to the sect¡¯s Cultivation Technique Hall to get a cultivation technique and start cultivating. New disciples would receive 12 lower spirit stones and a bottle of low-grade pills every month during their first year in the sect. After that year, these benefits would no longer be avable. Disciples who had been in the sect for more than a year would have to take on a mission every month, which would be dyed for five years. If they were unwilling to do it, they could spend points to hire someone else to carry out the missions... Dong Xi opened her eyes and took a moment to digest the rules. Her eyes fell on the pills on the table once again. The Ningtian Sect was quite generous. They gave her a bottle of pills as soon as she joined the sect. Dong Xi took the bottle and looked at it. When she opened the bottle, a sweet fragrance instantly appeared. Dong Xi was afraid that the medicinal properties would be lost, so she quickly put the bottle back. However, in the end, Dong Xi did not know what the use of this pill was. It was not important. In any case, she would find out soon. After Dong Xi had packed everything, she did not start cultivating immediately. Today, she had first transmigrated, then reincarnated, and then climbed the mountain for so long. She had long been exhausted. Now, she only wanted to take a bath and eat her fill before thinking about other things. Dong Xi picked up the wooden basin in the house and went to the side to fetch some water from the pond. She cleaned herself up and changed into the clothes in the storage bag. The clothes were in line with Dong Xi¡¯s aesthetic and fit her body very well. She opened the original owner¡¯s cumbersome hair essories and casually tied her hair into a bun. After tidying up, she decided to go out. Chapter 6 Where Are You Having Your Meal? After familiarizing himself with the surrounding area, Dong Xi was extremely hungry and wanted to fill her stomach as soon as possible. However, the new disciples seemed to have disappeared. Dong Xi was helpless and could only follow the path she came from. She went to the entrance of the Alchemy Sect and found Song Qingfeng, who had finished his registration duty and was about to leave. Seeing that his Senior Brother was about to leave, Dong Xi hurriedly shouted, ¡°Senior Brother!¡± Song Qingfeng frowned. He was about to go back, why did more peoplee? It¡¯s already sote, could there still be people who haven¡¯t found their ce? How was this possible? Turning around and seeing Dong Xi, Song Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. This girl was really different from the others. He said yfully, ¡°Oh, you¡¯re dressed pretty well. You look like a little nun.¡± Dong Xi did not know if Song Qingfeng was praising her or if she meant something else. Besides, they had just met each other and were not familiar enough to tease each other. If Dong Xi retorted, she was afraid that Song Qingfeng would be so angry that he could just wave his sleeves and send her out of the mountain Gate. Dong Xi immediately asked, ¡°Senior Brother, where do the new disciples go for meals?¡± With Song Qingfeng¡¯s current cultivation, he had already started to abstain from eating, so he was a little confused when he heard Dong Xi¡¯s question. Song Qingfeng was born into an aristocratic family and had grown up eating fasting pills. He naturally did not have any appetite. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng¡¯s confused face and wondered if the sect would be so crazy as to let a neer support themselves. After all, they were all children, and they were only about ten years old. Facing Dong Xi¡¯s confused face, Song Qingfeng was a little embarrassed and did not know what to say. He could not tell Dong Xi that if he did not want to eat, then the others should not either. Song Qingfeng coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment and said to Dong Xi seriously, ¡°When you wake up tomorrow morning, ask someone else. I don¡¯t know about this. But when I went down the mountain today, I saw a fruit tree near the pond. It¡¯s already in a mature state. You can go pick some and eat it.¡± After saying that, Song Qingfeng flicked his sleeve and sent Dong Xi off with good intentions. When Dong Xi left with the wind and fell into the pond, Song Qingfeng could not help but wonder if this Second Senior Brother of the Alchemy Sect had deliberately thrown her into the pond. The original book had said that this Second Senior Brother did not like anyone. Now that she thought about it, it was not without reason. Although he had fallen into the pond, it was a good thing that she had fallen at the edge. If she had fallen a little further into the middle, Dong Xi might have died again, drowning to death. If that was the case, Dong Xi would definitely have to find the King of Hell and have a good talk with him. Using both her hands and feet, Dong Xi climbed out of the pond. The night breeze was like Buddha¡¯s passing, and it was slightly cold. Dong Xi shivered. She sighed. She had alreadye to cultivate, but she was still suffering from hunger and cold. Even if Dong Xi told others about this, no one would believe her. After she went ashore, she quickly wrung her sleeves dry and looked around helplessly, looking for the fruit tree that Song Qingfeng had mentioned. If she could not find it, then she would be very upset. Fortunately, Song Qingfeng was notpletely inhuman. After walking for a while, Dong Xi finally saw the fruit tree under the moonlight. Her exhausted body suddenly had the motivation to jump over and start picking the fruits. However, Dong Xi was too short, and she only managed to get a few fruits after using all her skills. The famished Dong Xi hugged the tree and shook it with all her might, hoping that a few more fruits would fall. However, none of the fruits fell. Instead, something cold fell on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder. She was shocked and reached out to touch it. It was a cold and smooth scale. Dong Xi instinctively jumped up and let out a scream. As Dong Xi moved, the things on her body fell to the ground. Only then did Dong Xi muster her courage and go over to see what it was. When she got closer, she saw a small ck snake as thick as a thumb lying on the ground. There were wounds all over the small ck snake¡¯s body. In some ces, the scales were gone, and blood was seeping out. Dong Xi had never thought that she would end up picking up a snake when she was supposed to go pick fruits to fill her stomach. She had not started cultivating yet and was only a mortal, but this little ck snake was something she had seen in the sect¡¯s Immortalnd. No matter what, it could be considered a spirit beast on the Immortal mountain. If it bit Dong Xi, she might not be able to live until Dong Rourou came. Dong Xi had originally wanted to leave, but she could not bear to do so. After all, this little snake had suffered such a heavy injury. If Dong Xi left just like that, the little ck snake might never wake up again. Dong Xi heaved a long sigh. Damn sympathy. Dong Xi could not ignore it no matter what, so she had no choice but to pick it up and bring it back. Chapter 7 Bandaging Dong Xi even felt that the reason why the little snake¡¯s nest was so miserable was probably because of her. If she had not shaken the tree so much, the little snake might not have fallen down, and might have been able to sleep well on the tree. It was because of her despicable hands that the little snake had fallen so miserably and was covered in wounds. Dong Xi could not just leave it be, right? Now, she could only hope that this little snake was one of the spirit beasts that had gained intelligence. Only those that had gained intelligence would not randomly bite people. Dong Xi drew some pond water and wiped the blood off the snake¡¯s body. The water in the basin had also turned blood red. Dong Xi sighed. This snake was clearly so small, so how could it bleed so much? Was its injury so serious? Dong Xi held the little snake and walked back. The blood flowed down her hand to the ground. After entering the house and looking at the injured snake, Dong Xi thought of something. She quickly took out a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine from the bag that the original body had brought. It was the original body¡¯s mother. She knew that after entering the sect, it was likely that she would have to fight and kill. She was afraid that her daughter would get hurt, so she had specially brought the best Golden Sore Medicine and some money. Dong Xi was holding two gold bars in her hands. Her hands were trembling. This was the first time she had seen so much gold in both his previous and current lives. Unfortunately, these gold bars were not of much use. In the sect, what was needed were spirit stones. Therefore, Dong Xi was still very poor. Thinking of this, Dong Xi was a little disappointed. She took out some medicine for wounds from his bag. It did not matter if it was an ordinary item or not. As long as it could heal injuries, it was good. Moreover, Dong Xi was still so poor that she could not take out anything better. She took the medicine and carefully sprinkled it on the snake¡¯s body. It might hurt a little, so the little snake wriggled its body. Dong Xi frowned. The little snake¡¯s body was slippery to begin with, and now it was still moving around. How could it do that? Dong Xi looked around the room and finally saw the cloak that the original owner had brought. Her eyes lit up. After a series of operations, Dong Xi pped her hands. It was a sess! A long strip with a bow tie appeared in front of him. Dong Xi looked at her masterpiece and smiled. This bow tie was definitely the most perfect one she had ever tied in her two lives. Dong Xi sped her hands together and muttered to the little snake that was wrapped up, ¡°I¡¯ve already tried my best. Life and death are up to fate.¡± ¡°If you really can¡¯t take it anymore, don¡¯t me me.¡± ¡­ Ten days ago, Su Cheng was undergoing a tribtion. He did not expect to be betrayed by a viin who revealed the location of Su Cheng¡¯s tribtion. The Eight Masters of the Righteous Path joined forces and ambushed around Su Cheng. They took advantage of Su Cheng¡¯s tribtion and attacked. Su Cheng could only reveal his true form and withstood the Lightning Tribtion. Although he managed to escape in the end, he was seriously injured. In the end, he could not even maintain his original form. He shrunk and fell on this Celestial Mountain. Of course, the eight people who sneaked an attack did not get any benefits either. They all returned with serious injuries. Su Cheng himself did not expect that he would actually fall into the Alchemy Sect of the Ningtian Sect, and be picked up by a little kid. It was embarrassing enough to say this. Although this medicine was very good in the mortal world, it had no effect on Su Cheng, who was resisting the Lightning Tribtion. Even if there was, it would only be a little bit. However, it was better than nothing. At this time, Su Cheng¡¯s spiritual energy was exhausted and he was seriously injured. With hisst breath and his final wisp of spiritual energy, he protected his heart meridian. Dong Xi was very generous. She used arge amount of the medicine on Su Cheng¡¯s body, making him feel a little better. Su Cheng¡¯s consciousness split out to see what the situation was, but he was stunned. What was going on? Why is he wrapped in a pink rag and this bow? It was so ugly. Who on earth was so bold as to try to trap him with such a rag? Killing intent rose in Su Cheng¡¯s heart, but now, only his heart was still beating. Such a pink rag could really make Su Cheng unable to move. He had medicine on him now, but it was all mortal things. However, it was better than nothing. Su Cheng¡¯s divine sense quickly scanned the helpless situation and found a little girl in the room meditating, but there was no spiritual Qi in her body. It was obvious that she had not guided Qi into her body. This made Su Cheng rx. It should be the little girl who saved him. After confirming that he was not in danger, Su Cheng could not maintain his consciousness. The spiritual Qi in his body could only maintain his heart meridian. Su Cheng had no choice but to fall into a deep sleep. Chapter 8 Drawing Qi Into the Body Dong Xi did not know that she had just walked through the gates of hell. She sat cross-legged with her eyes closed and facing upwards. The jade slip said it was very simple, but in reality, it was not that simple at all. Her butt hurt from doing it, but she did not feel any spiritual energy. Could the legendary ¡®Five-colored Light¡¯ be a lie? Dong Xi¡¯s legs were starting to go numb, and she was getting drowsy. Suddenly, there was a blood-red light beside him, like a firefly in summer. Dong Xi, who had never seen the world, was curious and excited when she saw this light. She tried to touch the light. Red, yellow, and green were closer to him, while the rest of the light seemed to be indifferent. The three-colored light entered Dong Xi¡¯s body and swam in her meridians. Dong Xi immediately held her spirit and Qi. ording to the method in the jade slip, she guided the spiritual Qi into her Dantian. More and more spiritual Qi gathered in her Dantian, slowly forming a thin mist. After a long time, Dong Xi slowly opened her eyes and felt the same in her body. Recalling the records in the jade slip, if there were multiple spirit roots guiding spiritual Qi into the body, each kind of spiritual Qi would stay in their own territory. When casting the spell, the corresponding Qi would be mobilized, and they would not affect each other. Dong Xi was a little dumbfounded. Just now, she had seen the spiritual Qi in her Dantian merge together and turn into a cloud of purple smoke. Dong Xi had be numb. Why did the ones in her body fuse together? Was this considered a good thing? She was originally an idiot in Immortal cultivation, but her Dantian did not y its cards ording tomon sense. While Dong Xi sat and pondered, a bright moon had already risen in the sky. The cold moonlight shone into the room, and a little red lightnded on the back of Dong Xi¡¯s hand shakily. Then, it disappeared. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She quickly raised her head and looked around. It would have been better if she had not looked, but she was shocked when she saw that in the small room. Three colors of light were entangled with each other, as if they were dancing under the moonlight. The gorgeous colors were like a dream. Dong Xi subconsciously didn¡¯t want to miss this rare opportunity. She immediately got ready and silently recited the incantation. Following Dong Xi¡¯s actions, the three-colored lights, which had been lost found their destination and swarmed toward Dong Xi¡¯s body. Dong Xi immediately guided the spiritual Qi to circte in her veins. However, every time it circted, the spiritual Qi would increase. Dong Xi pondered again. Could it be that her body was leaking Qi? Even so, after a night, a mass of purple Qi was still gathered in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. When Dong Xi¡¯s consciousness entered her Dantian, she felt that this mass of purple Qi was very familiar. This should be considered as sessfully drawing Qi into the body, right? What Dong Xi did not know was that ording to her Dantian¡¯s current state, she could be considered to have touched the first level of Qi Refinement stage. In the entire world of cultivators, such a cultivation speed was enough for anyone to consider her a genius. Dong Xi opened her eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. She looked out of the window and saw that the horizon was already showing a trace of white. Then, a veil-like purple Qi appeared, which was simr to the purple Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. Dong Xi tried to absorb this purple Qi. However, there was no effect at all. On the contrary, the pitifully small amount of purple Qi in her Dantian had been used up. Dong Xi realized that something was wrong. She looked at the spiritual Qi in her Dantian with heartache and got up from the bed angrily. She raised her middle finger at the purple Qi in the sky. ¡®I wanted to absorb it, but now I¡¯m the one being absorbed?¡¯ Dong Xi felt that whether it was the spiritual Qi in her Dantian or the purple Qi in the sky, they were actually the same thing. It was just that Dong Xi did not have enough ability yet. In the future, when she cultivated, Dong Xi would definitely be able to absorb and refine this purple Qi and make it a part of her Dantian, instead of what it was now. Dong Xi stretched her muscles and bones. She did not feel ufortable after a sleepless night. Instead, she felt a little refreshed. She sighed in her heart. This Immortal cultivation was really quite pleasurable. If it was in her previous life, if she did not sleep at night, she would probably be lying on the bed and could not get up at all. She would only be in a deep sleep, let alone feeling refreshed. Dong Xi turned around and looked at the little snake on the table. After a night, it was still lying there without moving. Could it be dead? Dong Xi frowned. Snakes should not be very tenacious, and she had given it so much medicinest night. She did not know if it was really dead. If it was not dead, why did it not move? Could it have... died from hunger? Chapter 9 This Should Be Considered an Immortal Fruit? After all, the little snake had been lying on the fruit treest night. The fruit should be the little snake¡¯s food. Thinking of this, Dong Xi pried open the little snake¡¯s mouth and tried to drip some fruit juice into it. After squeezing for more than 20 minutes, a fist-sized fruit was fed into the little snake¡¯s mouth. ording to the little snake¡¯s size, this should be enough. After feeding the little snake, Dong Xi also ate. After eating, she felt her whole body warm, as if she was bathing in the sun. The spiritual energy circting in her meridians also became much smoother. The cold Qi that fell into the pond and entered her body also overflowed. It felt os good that it made her subconsciously want to moan. This fruit grew on the Immortal mountain. It should be considered an Immortal fruit, which was different from the fruits in the mortal world. Dong Xi knew that these fruits were good. She would pick some more after finishing today¡¯s homework. However, she did not know that in the Ningtian Sect, even the Immortal herb on the ground had an owner, let alone a fruit tree. This fruit tree belonged to the Eldest Senior Brother of the Alchemy Sect, but it was used as a gift by the Second Senior Brother. With Song Qingfeng¡¯s character, he would not feel guilty. Dong Xi went out and swiped her identity token at the door. The house¡¯s restriction was activated again. If Dong Xi was not there, no one would be able to enter without permission. It was a bit like an ess card from the 21st century. In the world of Xianxia, it was quite humane. The fog outside the house had not dispersed, and the distant mountains were faintly visible in the fog. The colorful lights came in through the mist, and the Immortalnd was indeed different. It was truly beautiful. Dong Xi took a deep breath and was about to walk out when she discovered that some tender green leaves had sprouted in the nursery that had beenpletely empty the day before. Dong Xi was extremely happy. She squatted to the side and observed for a long time, but she did not know what would grow in the end. Would it be full of flowers? After all, everyone wanted a small garden full of flowers in front of the door. Today was the first day of these new disciples entering the sect. ording to the guide, after guiding Qi into the body, they could go and learn some simple spells. Under normal circumstances, it would take about three days to guide Qi into the body quickly, and for some of the worse ones, it might take a month. Of course, the outer sect disciples like Dong Xi were not favored. However, no one had expected that there would be a weirdo among these outer sect disciples. Dong Xi did not know what kind ofmotion it would cause if she couldplete the body integration in one night. Dong Xi walked up the steps and observed her surroundings. When she saw a child sweeping the floor, she immediately stepped forward and said, ¡°Senior brother, I want to ask, how do I get to the Cultivation Technique Hall?¡± Rui Xiang was a red-crowned crane that Elder Ming Fu had raised. It had taken on the Form Transformation Pill that the elder had given him and transformed into a human. However, his cultivation level was not high. He was usually only responsible for sweeping the fallen leaves of the Alchemy Sect. When Rui Xiang heard this girl, who was about the same height as him, calling him ¡®Senior Brother¡¯, he straightened his chest and put on an appearance that a Senior Brother should have. He said indifferently, ¡°Are you a new disciple?¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded. Although this child looked a little silly, he had been here longer than him. Dong Xi naturally did not dare to offend him. Who knew if there was a big shot behind him? If she unknowingly offended someone important, the loss would outweigh the gain. Dong Xi cupped her fists and saluted, then said politely, ¡°That¡¯s right, I just joined the sect yesterday.¡± ¡°I want to go to the Cultivation Technique Hall. Please show me the way, Senior Brother.¡± Usually, the disciples of the sect looked down on Rui Xiang, and no one was willing to talk to him. If it was not for the presence of the elders, some people would have even wanted to capture Rui Xiang and eat him. Now that a little girl called him Senior Brother, Rui Xiang was very happy. He straightened his chest and said loudly, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already called me Senior Brother, I will send you there.¡± After saying that, Rui Xiang silently recited the incantation and turned back into a red-crowned crane. Although Dong Xi was prepared, when he saw it, she could not help but open her mouth wide. Th-this was a true transformation of a living person. A 1.3-meter-tall child had turned into a two-meter-tall red-crowned crane. How could Dong Xi not be surprised? How could she not be shocked? When Rui Xiang saw Dong Xi¡¯s worship-like expression, he was very happy. After such a long time, he finally had a Junior Sister who worshipped him and respected him as a Senior Brother, unlike those disciples who only knew how to say that he was useless. Rui Xiang raised his neck and urged, ¡°Come on up, I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Chapter 10 I Won¡¯t Stand on Ceremony Dong Xi really wanted to go up, but she had just entered the sect. It was not good to ride on her Senior Brother like this, right? If the other Senior and Junior Brothers saw this, they would think that she was too pretentious, right? Although this was Senior Brother¡¯s good intentions, she could not take it too far. Dong Xi lowered his head and said in embarrassment, ¡°S-Senior Brother, isn¡¯t this a bad idea?¡± Rui Xiang¡¯s thoughts were simple, he did not have so many concerns. Since she called him ¡®Senior Brother¡¯, he must take good care of this Junior Sister. Moreover, it was just sending her off. It was not a big deal, what was wrong with it? If others want to sit on him, Rui Xiang would not let them. Unless they respect him like this Junior Sister, he could still consider it. Rui Xiang said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing bad about it. It¡¯s just a Senior Brother is sending his Junior Sister off.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard Rui Xiang¡¯s words. Although she had already entered the world of cultivation, this was her first time riding a crane, let alone a Senior Brother. However, since her Senior Brother had said that everything was fine, it should be fine. She still had to listen to her Senior Brother. Dong Xi looked at Rui Xiang with a smile and quickly said, ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother. I won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi climbed onto the back of the red-crowned crane. The feathers on his back were very soft. SHe reached out and grabbed two feathers. After sitting firmly, Rui Xiang stood up, spread his wings, and flew above the clouds. He knew that Dong Xi was a new disciple and did not have any spiritual energy to protect her body, so he specially wrapped Dong Xi with spiritual energy. At this moment, Dong Xi was sitting on the back of a red-crowned crane, enjoying a great view. He thought of Song Qingfeng who threw him into the pond with a wave of his hand yesterday. SHe silently made a note of Song Qingfeng and decided to deal with this matter in the future. They were both Alchemy Sect disciples anyway, so they would meet again sooner orter. Rui Xiang said to Dong Xi as he flew, ¡°The Cultivation Technique Hall is halfway up the mountain. If I didn¡¯t send you off, you would have to walk for more than two hours.¡± As if he wanted to show off, Rui Xiang flew especially high and brought Dong Xi around before slowlynding on the ground. When Dong Xi came down, Rui Xiang turned back into a little Daoist boy. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Rui Xiang. Rui Xiang was a little embarrassed by Dong Xi¡¯s gaze. He coughed a few times and pointed to the pine tree beside him with a slightly red face. ¡°This is it. The next time youe, you¡¯ll see this tree.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she obediently nodded her head, indicating that she had already remembered it. It was indeed much more convenient to have a Senior Brother to guide her. Seeing that Dong Xi was so obedient and sensible, Rui Xiang was even happier. Since he had already sent it over, he would guide her properly so that she would not get lostter. Rui Xiang pointed to the north and said, ¡°Go that way, you¡¯ll see the Cultivation Technique Hall not far away.¡± ¡°Senior Brother still has some matters to attend to, so I won¡¯t be apanying you here.¡± Dong Xi knew that her Senior Brother must have his own things to do. She was already very grateful to him for sending her here. After all, in the Xianxia world, everyone was busy with cultivation or other things. Dong Xi cupped her fist and saluted Rui Xiang. ¡°It¡¯s better to have more Senior Brothers like this in the future,¡± Dong Xi said respectfully. ¡°Many thanks for Senior Brother¡¯s escort. I¡¯m Dong Xi, may I know Senior Brother¡¯s name?¡± Rui Xiang naturally did not hide anything. He was extremely pleased to have a Junior Sister who respected him and looked at him with adoration. He took out a feather and passed it to Dong Xi. This way, if there was anything that needed his help in the future, he could always be found by his Junior Sister. ¡°I¡¯m called Rui Xiang. Keep this feather well. The next time you want to y with me, just say my name three times. I¡¯ll naturally hear it. When the timees, I¡¯lle and find you.¡± Dong Xi happily epted Rui Xiang¡¯s feather. This was the first gift she had received after entering the sect. She had originally wanted to return the gift to Rui Xiang, but she really did not have anything that she could take out. The only valuable items were the two gold bricks, but they were useless in Immortal sects and were extremely tacky. Dong Xi said in embarrassment, ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯ve just joined the sect, I don¡¯t have anything that I can take out. However, in the future, when Junior Sister has learned how to refine pills¡­ Senior Brother, what medicinal pills do you want? As long as I know how to refine them, I¡¯ll refine them for you.¡± When it came to drawing empty promises, Dong Xi had never lost. Although she was imagining a fantasy world where she had be an Alchemy Grandmaster. A few medicinal pills were nothing to her. However, the premise was that Dong Xi had to be able to survive and live well. If she was killed by Dong Rourou, it would not be considered a vition of her Dao heart and her promise. Chapter 11 Someone Called Me ¡®Senior Brother¡¯ After saying goodbye to Dong Xi, Rui Xiang immediately transformed into a red-crowned crane and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Rui Xiang was extremely excited, and he flew around Dream Spirit Peak a dozen times. Even Elder Fu Ming could not bear to watch it anymore. Instead of sweeping the fallen leaves early in the morning, he flew around like crazy. Thus, he called Rui Xiang down and asked him, ¡°What are you so excited about so early in the morning?¡± Rui Xiang had a strand of hair on his head. He happily ran to Elder Fu Ming. Usually, only Elder Fu Ming would be willing to chat with him. Moreover, the reason why he could transform was because of the pill given by the Elder. Therefore, Rui Xiang addressed Elder Fu Ming as ¡®Master¡¯. Hearing his Master¡¯s question, Rui Xiang¡¯s tone was a bit higher than usual as he said loudly, ¡°Master, someone called me Senior Brother today. She even told me that when I learn how to refine pills, she will refine whatever pills I wanted for me.¡± Fu Ming looked at Rui Xiang, this little fool. If it was not for Elder Fu Ming picking him up, Rui Xiang would have probably been eaten clean by someone. Fu Ming also wanted to see who actually dared to trick the silly crane he raised in the Alchemy Sect¡¯s territory. Elder Fu Ming¡¯s brows raised as he looked at the extremely happy Rui Xiang and asked indifferently, ¡°Is that so? Who is it?¡± Rui Xiang was simple-minded and did not know how to lie or hide anything. He would always answer whatever others asked. As long as Rui Xiang knew, he would definitely answer. Not to mention, it was his Master who asked. Rui Xiang told him everything he knew and told him everything that happened in the morning. ¡°Her name is Dong Xi, and she should be around ten years old. I met her this morning and she asked me how to get to the Cultivation Technique Hall. She even called me Senior Brother and said that I¡¯m amazing. I found her pleasing to the eye and we hit it off, so I gave Dong Xi a feather.¡± Elder Fu Ming touched his beard. Hearing Rui Xiang¡¯s words, he narrowed his eyes. It seemed that a group of disciples hade recently, but they did not know anything. If it was a disciple of the sect, they would never call Rui Xiang Senior Brother, let alone think that Rui Xiang was powerful. After thinking carefully for a long time, Elder Fu Ming said to Rui Xiang indifferently, ¡°That¡¯s right. I remember that a few days ago, the Sect Master said that he would recruit some new disciples.¡± ¡°You¡¯re new and don¡¯t know anything, so it¡¯s right to call you Senior Brother.¡± Rui Xiang nodded his head honestly. Yesterday, a new disciple had indeede. Some Alchemy Sect disciples had even gone over to watch the show. Rui Xiang originally wanted to go as well, but he thought that those disciples did not seem to like him, so he did not go. He did not expect to meet one in the morning, and even called him ¡®Senior Brother¡¯. Rui Xiang said to Elder Fu Ming. ¡°Yes, during the test yesterday, Little Seven and the others went to watch the show.¡± Elder Fu Ming was just about to nod his head when he suddenly looked at Rui Xiang in disbelief. It was a new disciple who had just arrived yesterday, and she was going to the Cultivation Technique Hall today? That meant that this child was a genius, right? ¡°Such speed ... I¡¯m afraid that there aren¡¯t many in the entire Immortal world with this kind of speed.¡± Elder Fu Ming looked at Rui Xiang in disbelief and asked again, ¡°You said she just arrived yesterday?¡± Rui Xiang was stunned for a moment. That¡¯s right, it was indeed yesterday. For such a big matter like recruiting new disciples, Master should know about it, but why did it seem like he did not know anything at all? Could it be that Master remembered the date wrong? Or perhaps, Master hadpletely forgotten about this matter? Rui Xiang said to his master in a serious manner, ¡°That¡¯s right. It was yesterday. Everyone knows about it. if you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Senior Brother Song Qingfeng.¡± Elder Fu Ming waved his hand. It was not that he did not believe this, but going to the Cultivation Technique Hall on the second day after entering the sect was really a bit shocking. He had never seen such a cultivation speed in the sect for so long. ording to his past experience, the fastest would take about three days. Elder Fu Ming said doubtfully, ¡°This child only came to the sect yesterday, and today, she¡¯s already going to Cultivation Technique Hall. She¡¯s guided Qi into her body in one night?¡± if this is true, then it¡¯s an incredible thing. He had to ept her as his disciple as soon as possible. A genius like her will have limitless achievements in the future. She would be a hotmodity, and if he was toote, she will be snatched away by others. At that time, if he missed out on a genius, his heart will ache! Rui Xiang scratched his head. He did not even know if it was just one night. Rui Xiang whispered, ¡°Master, perhaps she already drew Qi into her body a long time ago. When you picked me up, I was already at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage.¡± Chapter 12 Cultivation Technique Hall As Rui Xiang spoke, he proudly puffed out his chest. When Fu Ming heard these words, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was very likely. After all, he had never seen a disciple who could draw Qi into the body in one night. Perhaps Dong Xi was a disciple of an aristocratic family and had alreadypleted the process before entering the sect. With this thought, Elder Fu Ming felt relieved. Dong Xi waspletely clueless. If she had known that a few words from Rui Xiang had caused her to lose her status as an inner sect disciple, she would have exploded on the spot in anger. Before she exploded, she would have definitely pulled out the hair on Rui Xiang¡¯s head to vent her anger. Dong Xi followed the path Rui Xiang had pointed out, and a veranda appeared in front of her. As she walked along the veranda to the end, arge hall appeared in front of her. It was extremely majestic. At the end of the white jade steps, there were two ck pirs. There were even paintings of clouds and all kinds of spirit beasts on the pirs. One of them was a purple auspicious cloud. When Dong Xi looked at the purple auspicious cloud, he felt that the cloud seemed to be alive. It felt as if it had seen the beginning of heaven and earth. A mass of purple was born from the primordial chaos, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and slowly growing. Then, the ancient war began. Dong Xi immediately felt extreme pain in her head, and she immediately recollected her mind. Even though she had recollected his mind, she still felt a lingering fear. Just a moment ago, her head almost exploded. ording to her many years of experience reading novels, this situation could only mean that she was still too weak. Dong Xi still could not ept things that were too profound. Her body activated self-protection, but her eyes still wanted to look at the painting on the ceiling beam. However, when she thought about how her head had almost exploded just now, she immediately retracted her gaze and walked up the white jade steps obediently. The doors of the Cultivation Technique Hall were tightly shut. Dong Xi did not know if there was anyone inside, so she did not dare to barge in without permission. After all, she did not know the rules. If she were to be killed on the spot by the people inside, the loss would truly outweigh the gain. Dong Xi walked to the door and stood respectfully in front of it. She saluted and then loudly said, ¡°I¡¯m Dong Xi, an outer sect disciple of the Alchemy Sect. I¡¯ve already drawn Qi into my body. I¡¯m here to learn.¡± There was no sound at all in the Cultivation Technique Hall. The more it was like this, the stranger it was. Dong Xi was very puzzled. This Cultivation Technique Hall should be a ce for the sect¡¯s disciples to study. Not to mention how many disciples were studying here, why would the door be closed? There was not even a single person guarding the door now. Could it be that he hade early, and it was not time for the Cultivation Technique Hall to open yet? Just as Dong Xi was feeling puzzled, the Cultivation Technique Hall was also extremely puzzled. How could a young fellow who had just guided Qi into her bodye here? Moreover, she had clearly been captivated by the painting on the beam just now, but she had easily broken free from it. This little guy¡¯s future was limitless, and she was definitely not an ordinary person. Dong Xi looked at the silent door and hesitated about whether she should go back first ande back after two hours. The door suddenly opened quietly. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and looked up at the door. However, the hall seemed to be covered with ayer of gauze. Dong Xi could not see anything clearly. For a moment, she did not know whether she should go in or not. However, the guide book said that all the new disciples had to go to the Cultivation Technique Hall to learn after drawing Qi into their bodies. If she did not go in now, where would she learn? After thinking about it for a while, Dong Xi made a decision. She raised her feet and walked inside. When she passed through the boundary, Dong Xi was still thinking that Immortal cultivation was against the heavens. If she was timid, then there was no need to cultivate. Moreover, although this Cultivation Technique Hall was strange, it was still within the Ningtian Sect. It was impossible for the Ningtian Sect to leave behind something that was harmful to their disciples. Perhaps this was the style of the Ningtian Sect. As soon as Dong Xi entered the barrier, the door of the Cultivation Technique Hall closed immediately, and the outside of the hall returned to its usual peace, as if no one had evere here. The Cultivation Technique Hall looked foggy from the outside, but it was different after entering. After entering, there was a portrait hanging in the main hall. The person on the portrait was wearing a fluttering white robe and had a long sword at his waist. Dong Xi did not know this person, but to be able to hang this portrait in the Cultivation Technique Hall, he must be an important figure. He might be some old ancestor or senior of the sect, so it would not be wrong to pay her respects. Dong Xi¡¯s face was solemn. She knelt down and bowed respectfully. Just as she bowed, the scene in front of her changed once again. At this moment, the scene in front of her could only be described as magnificent. Whether it was the walls or the floor, even the items in the room had turned red and gold. Dong Xi was so shaken that she almost could not open his eyes. Chapter 13 I Didn¡¯t Come to the Wrong ce Dong Xi slowly got used to the golden color in the room. She then looked around and saw a book on a table not far away. It was the only thing in the room that was not shining with golden light. Dong Xi stood up and walked to the table. She picked up the book and started to read. As she flipped through the pages, she saw a fewrge words: ¡® Cultivation Impartation Guide¡¯. Dong Xi smiled. This morning, after asking for directions and bowing, she finally found the Cultivation Impartation Guidebook. She had indeede to the right ce. Following the instructions, she ced the book in front of her and sat down cross-legged, circting her spiritual Qi. A light purple spiritual Qi flowed through his meridians. Dong Xi¡¯s soul seemed to have left her body and entered another realm. A golden figure of light appeared and sat in front of Dong Xi, facing her. The figure of light started to form hand seals again and again. At first, it was a little slow, but as time passed, Dong Xi seemed to understand something. She immediately followed the movements of the figure of light and began to form hand seals. In the end, the speed of the figure of light was so fast that it left afterimages. Dong Xi could not keep up at all. She could only sigh helplessly. She tried her best to remember all the movements. When she returned, she would definitely practice them in private. When the light figure saw that Dong Xi could no longer keep up, he stood up. A long sword that was also shining with golden light appeared in his hand. When Dong Xi saw the long sword, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she began to doubt herself. Wasn¡¯t he an Alchemist? Why did he want to learn swordsmanship? Could it be that every disciple of the Ningtian Sect learned swordsmanship? This was also good. When Dong Rourou arrived, Dong Xi would have some means of self-protection. It would be too miserable if she was beaten up until she lost her bearings. However, Dong Xi soon found herself in a difficult position. She had no problem practicing swordsmanship, but she was just a new disciple who had just entered the sect. She did not have a long sword at all. How could she practice? Dong Xi quickly thought of a way. She circted her spiritual Qi and a purple long sword appeared in her hand. Its color was very simr to the spiritual Qi in her Dantian. The light figure began to demonstrate the movement of the sword again and again. It was the first time in Dong Xi¡¯s life that he was holding a long sword. She watched the movement of the light figure and tried to learn. This time, it was not like before, when the movement of the light figure became slower and slower. Dong Xi could even clearly see the trajectory of the sword tip. Dong Xi¡¯s attention slowly focused on her sword and arm. Feeling the strength she had exerted during her practice, she finally understood that the sword was just an extension of her arm. The strength she exerted was not just from her wrist. Dong Xi gradually entered a better state, but suddenly found that she had been ejected from this illusion. Her surroundings were still shining with golden light, and in front of her was still the same book. Dong Xi¡¯s felt that her Dantian was a little ufortable. After using her divine sense to investigate, she found that there was not much spiritual Qi left in her Dantian. It was meaningless to continue. Dong Xi sighed and put his book away. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the futon she had just sat on. She bowed respectfully to the air and left. The sun had already risen, but it was still very quiet outside the Cultivation Technique Hall. There was no one at all. Dong Xi could not help but feel strange. Were the people of this sect so unmotivated? They had such an advanced ¡®3D light figure learning technology¡¯. If the 21st-century world¡¯s library could have such technology, she would have to reserve a seat one night in advance every day. Although she felt strange, Dong Xi did not think too much about it. She turned around and walked down the mountain. There were no obstructions along the way. The closer she got to the foot of the mountain, the more lively it became. Dong Xi hurriedly stopped a man and asked where the Alchemy Sect¡¯s cafeteria was. This man pointed her in the right direction. Only then did Dong Xi feel relieved. Otherwise, she would probably have to eat wild fruits again today. Fortunately, the sect still provided food, so it was not necessary for a ten-year-old girl to support herself. Otherwise, even if he knew that there were wild fruits to eat, Dong Xi would probably only be able to hold on for a few days. After all, they were fruits, and not real food. No matter how much fruit she ate, she would not be full and satiated like consuming real food would. Moreover, her body would not be able to bear not eating food for a long time. After entering the cafeteria, Dong Xi instantly felt like she had found a group. There were children of simr ages sitting here, and it was very lively. This was what a sect should be like. Everyone ate together and cultivated together. How nice would it be if it was lively? This was what a popr sect should be like. Just as Dong Xi was about to go get some food, she heard a voice calling out to him, and it was very loud and clear. ¡°Dong Xi, Dong Xi, I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Come here, let¡¯s get food together. We can eat together in the future and keep each otherpany.¡± Chapter 14 More Than 10 Days? Only then did Dong Xi realize that the person who had called out to her was called Ke Xin. She was two years older than Dong Xi and could be considered to be from the same hometown as her original self. They came from the same ce and had entered the Ningtian Sect together. Only then did Dong Xi walk over quickly. Ke Xin held onto Dong Xi¡¯s hand and looked at her in surprise. This was a meeting between fellow townsmen. Ke Xin immediately said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be in the Alchemy Sect.¡± ¡°This is such a coincidence. Where do you live?¡± Ke Xin was a natural extrovert, and the two of them were from the same hometown. When they spoke, she would always smile at Dong Xi. Dong Xi could not reject her. This was fine too. They could be friends in the future. Who knew if they could work together in the future and help each other? Dong Xi also smiled at Ke Xin and gave a general exnation, ¡°I chose the spot beside the pond.¡± When Ke Xin heard this, she thought about it for a moment and immediately knew where it was. After all, the ce for new disciples was not very big. Everyone had to familiarize themselves with the terrain first so that they would not get lost or be unable to find their own house. Ke Xin was curious why Dong Xi hade sote. She looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Why are you only here now? The good food should be gone. But the spirit rice here is really different from the ones we used to eat.¡± Even though Dong Xi knew Ke Xin, the two of them were not that close. She did not n on telling her that she had guided Qi into her body. She was instinctively on guard. It would not be good if he caused any trouble. Right now, Dong Xi only wanted to cultivate properly and make ns for the future. She hid the fact that she went to the Cultivation Technique Hall and vaguely exined, ¡°I slept a littletest night, I¡¯m really too tired.¡± Ke Xinughed when she heard this. How hardworking. Ke Xin could understand. After all, it was not easy for them to enter the sect. Naturally, they had to work hard and cultivate. Furthermore, in a year¡¯s time, this group of children would have to rely on themselves to support themselves. Drawing Qi into their bodies was still very important. It could not be dyed for too long. Ke Xin nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, you need to work harder since you¡¯re here. Starting next year, we¡¯ll all have to rely on ourselves to support ourselves. It¡¯s a good thing to draw Qi into your body earlier.¡± Dong Xi nodded. If she drew in Qi toote, she would be one step slower than others. At that time, cultivation would be even more difficult. Dong Xi noticed that the number of people in the cafeteria was gradually decreasing. She knew that they had almost finished eating. If she did not go and get food, they might not be able to eat anymore. Filling her stomach was more important. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll go get my food first.¡± Ke Xin had also noticed that the people in the canteen were slowly decreasing. She did not want to dy Dong Xi¡¯s meal. After all, there was a time limit for eating here. If she missed the time, she would have nothing to eat. It would be really pitiful if she had to go hungry. It was time for Ke Xin to go back and continue her cultivation. Ke Xin said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back first. You weren¡¯t here just now. I heard that you can¡¯t run around these two days. You must seize the time to cultivate. Those with good talent can draw Qi into their bodies in three days. Outer sect disciples like us need at least ten days.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was a little puzzled. More than ten days? How was this possible? Dong Xi had drawn Qi into her body in just one night yesterday. What was going on? Even though she was quite confused, she had to keep this matter a secret. If she did not have absolute strength, she would be inviting trouble, and Dong Xi didn¡¯t want to stand out. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s dazed expression, Ke Xin quickly said, ¡°Go eat quickly. My residence is next to a big tree in the North. If you need anything in the future, you cane and find me.¡± Dong Xi nodded. It was only after Ke Xin had gone far away that she turned to get food. After eating, she remembered the severely injured little snake at home and took out a free spirit fruit. This fruit was amon fruit in the Immortal cultivation world, the Chicken Heart Fruit. It was crisp and sweet, but it did not have much spiritual energy. Only children who had not yet abstained from eating would like to eat it. This was also Dong Xi¡¯s first time eating it. She felt that the taste was not bad. It was a bit like the loquat from her previous life, but it was not exactly the same. The little snake at home was not big, so one fruit was enough to eat. On the way, Dong Xi saw many people wandering around. They had just arrived at the sect, so it was normal to be curious and want to explore. Dong Xi did not want to join in the fun. Time was of the essence, and her mission was heavy. In order to live well in the future, the most important thing for her now was to cultivate and improve her cultivation base. As for other things, they were not within the scope of Dong Xi¡¯s consideration at all. Especially since she had learned hand seals and sword techniques today. She had to hurry back and practice. Chapter 15 Who Would Reject a Pink Heart Dong Xi returned to the house and swiped her exclusive identity token. She walked in and looked around. Everything in the house was exactly the same as when she left, including the opened bag and the little snake wrapped in a pink cloak beside the bag. Everything was the same as before. The little snake still did not move, as if it would maintain any shape it was ced in. The corner of Dong Xi¡¯s mouth carried a trace of an evil smile as she arranged the little snake into the shape of a heart. Who would reject a pink heart? After that, she picked up the little snake again. Just like in the morning, she pried open the snake¡¯s mouth and crushed the fruit she had brought back. This time, Dong Xi even took a special look at the sharp teeth in the little snake¡¯s mouth, not knowing which one was poisonous. Dong Xi did not know about all this either. Unknowingly, her fear of snakes had been decreasing. Now, this little ck snake was like a toy in Dong Xi¡¯s hands. She could y with it however he wanted and it would not resist at all. After feeding it, she once again ced the little snake in the shape of a heart on the table. She pped her hands, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the spiritual energy. She thought that she had already absorbed it oncest night, so she would have some experience this time. However, when Dong Xi felt that there were only a few spots of light in the air, she was a little confused. She opened his eyes, and they were filled with disbelief. There were so manyst night, but why was there only this one today? What was going on? Her face was filled with confusion. Where did the spiritual Qi that filled the room go? Or could it be thatst night¡¯s situation was just because of the right time, ce, and people, and it was rare? Today¡¯s situation was the norm? Dong Xi thought about how the original body had only reached the third level of Qi Refinement after cultivating for so many years in the original book. Dong Xi¡¯s heart instantly turned cold. Could it be that she was really such a that she could only reach the third level of Qi Refinement after cultivating for so many years? Dong Xi once again closed his eyes and circted the spiritual Qi in her body. Her divine sense looked at the three types of spiritual Qi that were clearly divided in her Dantian. She was suddenly a little dumbfounded. Yesterday, it was still purple spiritual Qi. How could it be normal today? At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s heart was in a mess. She had just entered the sect and did not know anything. She did not have a master to give him any pointers. In the Ningtian Sect, only after entering the inner sect could he be the disciple of the elders of each peak. The outer sect disciples were only used to make up the numbers and do odd jobs. There would be no one to help them exin at any time and ce, so they could only figure everything out on their own. However, it was reasonable to say that they could ask all their questions when they went to the Cultivation Technique Hall. The Senior Brothers or Senior Sisters in the Cultivation Technique Hall could give him an answer, but today, Dong Xi had clearly gone to the wrong ce. There was no one in the Cultivation Technique Hall. Dong Xi could not figure out what was going on and where she was. Dong Xi¡¯s expression was serious. She looked at the remaining purple spiritual Qi in her Dantian and realized that the purple spiritual Qi, which had been staying in one ce, was not content at all. It was devouring the red spiritual Qi that was closest to it. Dong Xi did not know what to do and could only watch as the purple spiritual Qi devoured the other spiritual Qi in her body and slowly expanded itself, finally condensing into a purple spiritual Qi the size of a peanut. Dong Xi fell silent. Her heart was filled with a sense of crisis. If he continued with his current efficiency, when would she be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage? Originally, Dong Xi had wanted to go out and take a look at what the sect¡¯s Immortal mountain was like, but now, she was in no mood to go out. If you have time to go out, you might as well stay in the house and cultivate. As the ancient saying goes: ¡®Haste makes waste¡¯. The more anxious you are, the less you will be able to do it. There is another saying: ¡®The stupid bird flies first¡¯. Dong Xi looked at her current aptitude. Let alone flying, she could only be more diligent in order to guarantee that she would be able to fly. Just like that, Dong Xi sat cross-legged in meditation, circting her spiritual Qi. Arge Qi cirction would take about 30 minutes. However, he could only get spiritual Qi the size of a peanut after circting arge Qi cirction. There were 45 minutes in two hours, and 24 hours in a day. Dong Xi could only get spiritual Qi the size of 40 peanuts if she cultivated all day without eating or drinking. Dong Xi¡¯s mind was on the verge of copse, why was it so tragic? Other people who transmigrated books were either people with special abilities, richdies, or the number one viin. Why was he such a useless supporting role? In the end, Dong Xi could only ept her fate. Chapter 16 Eldest Senior Brother In the Immortal world, cultivation could rece sleep. The original body only slept four hours a day in the book. In order to survive, Dong Xi had to work harder. At most, she would not sleep and could train for four more hours a day. At that time, her cultivation would definitely be higher. When she reached the third level of Qi Refinement stage, she could ept missions from the sect and go out to train. If she encountered some fortuitous encounter, she might be able to Reach Foundation Establishment. Thinking of this, Dong Xi sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began cultivating. Dong Xi cultivated until the sun had set and her stomach started growling. Only then did Dong Xi realize that it was already veryte and it was time to eat. Dong Xi walked to the entrance of the canteen and realized that it had long since closed. She touched her rumbling stomach. Dong Xi sighed helplessly. She could only go to the fruit tree fromst night and pick some fruits. When she was nearby, Dong Xi specially moved a few stones and wanted to put them under her feet to try and pick the fruits from high ces. She had just picked one with great difficulty when he heard an extremely cold voice. ¡°There¡¯s a thief indeed.¡± This voice was extremely familiar to Dong Xi. It was a voice that she would not forget even in his dreams. Dong Xi froze on the spot. He had actually met this person so quickly, and he even said that this fruit tree was his? Seeing Dong Xi standing there in a daze, the man spoke again. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to hurry down?¡± Dong Xi jumped down dejectedly and turned around to see the man¡¯s face clearly. He was wearing a long white robe, with an inner disciple identity token hanging on his waist. His eyebrows were sharp and his ck hair was dancing in the wind. Just by looking his appearance, he can fool many people. He has some good assets. It¡¯s no wonder that the original body was fascinated by this person when she first came to the Ningtian Sect. If the original body had escaped from the hands of the demon dwellers and had not met this Senior Brother, it would have been impossible for her to end up in the hands of Dong Rourou. Dong Xi held a fruit in his hand and respectfully said, ¡°Senior Brother.¡± Upon hearing Dong Xi¡¯s address, Liang Yan knew that she was a new disciple of the sect. However, it had already been a few days, so how could she still not know the rules? She actually plucked someone else¡¯s fruit tree? Liang Yan asked, frowning, ¡°Which mountain peak are you from?¡± Dong Xi did not dare to raise her head. No matter what, she had taken someone else¡¯s fruits and was even caught on the spot. It was really too embarrassing. Dong Xi could only look at his toes and obediently say, ¡°I haven¡¯t joined any of the elders yet. I¡¯m only an outer sect disciple of the Alchemy Sect at the moment.¡± When Liang Yan heard this, he raised his head arrogantly and looked at Dong Xi with a cold expression. ¡®She¡¯s just an outer sect disciple, yet she dares to steal from my fruit tree? She really doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for her.¡¯ Liang Yan said coldly. ¡°You¡¯re just an outer sect disciple. How dare you steal from my fruit tree? Who gave you the courage to do that?¡± Dong Xi did not know that this fruit tree had an owner. She thought it was a wild fruit tree that grew naturally. At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s heart was filled with Song Qingfeng¡¯s face. She wanted to beat Song Qingfeng to death. Even if Dong Xi did not know, Song Qingfeng should have known that this fruit tree belonged to Eldest Senior Brother. Why did he ask Dong Xi toe and pick the fruits from this tree? Dong Xi could only say, ¡°I¡­¡± However, as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by another cold voice. There was a trace of disdain and pride in the voice. It was not afraid of the Eldest Senior Brother at all. ¡°I gave her the courage.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She turned around and found that Song Qingfeng was standing on the tree. Song Qingfeng was looking down at Liang Yan and said with a fake smile. ¡°Senior brother, I asked this little flute toe and pick the fruit.¡± Dong Xi was a little touched. She was grateful that Song Qingfeng stood up to help her attract the me at this time. However, seeing Song Qingfeng¡¯s expression, she felt that Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan must not get along. No wonder¡­ No wonder Song Qingfeng asked her to pick this fruit tree. Dong Xi instantly understood that she had been used. She red at song Qingfeng. He said after noticing her re, ¡°You little girl, why are you ring at me? You ate all of this fruit and put it into your stomach. These fruits that Eldest Senior Brother carefully nted¡­ Are they not delicious?¡± Dong Xi did not expect to be discovered by Song Qingfeng. She did not know what to say. In short, she should stay away from these two people in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble. Liang Yan frowned and said with a gloomy face, ¡°Since Song Qingfeng asked you to pick it, let¡¯s forget about this matter. In the future, you are not allowed toe here without permission.¡± Chapter 17 He¡¯s Really Fierce Yan Liang looked at Song Qingfeng with dissatisfaction. Without saying anything, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared. Yan Liang would remember this. Song Qingfeng felt bored after seeing Yan Liang leave. He thought that there was something he could do, but it turned out to be like this. Song Qingfeng pursed his lips and mumbled, ¡°He¡¯s really fierce.¡± With that, Song Qingfeng jumped down from the tree with disappointment in his eyes. He looked at Dong Xi, who had just picked a fruit after a long time, and smiled again. Song Qingfeng had been here for a long time, watching Dong Xi jump down from the tree to pick the fruit. If it was not for Liang Yan, Song Qingfeng might not have shown himself. ¡°Really, it¡¯s just a fruit. Did he need to reprimand for half a day? Look at how scared this child is.¡± With that, Song Qingfeng pointed his fan at the tree, and four high-hanging fruits fell into Dong Xi¡¯s arms. Dong Xi looked at the fruits in her arms and did not know whether she should take them or not. After all, Liang Yan had told him not to pick any more. Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi and said lightly, ¡°I see that you¡¯ve also drawn Qi into your body. Your aptitude is not bad. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re a little stupid. You don¡¯t even know how to use your spiritual energy even if you have it. f I had learned telekinesis, I wouldn¡¯t have been caught by Eldest Senior Brother.¡± Dong Xi was a little angry when she heard Song Qingfeng call her stupid. She was about to exin herself, but he was stunned when he heard thetter part of the sentence. She thought to herself, ¡®That¡¯s right, why was I so stupid just now? Why did I jump here and there to pick the fruit? I could have used my spiritual energy to pick them. I could only me the decades of my previous life for not thinking of such a method.¡¯ Song Qingfeng found Dong Xi¡¯s silly look funny andughed out loud. This little girl was really interesting. Although she was a little silly, she was quite cute. Now that Senior Brother had found out, she could note back anymore. Afterughing, Song Qingfeng did not forget to remind Dong Xi, ¡°Don¡¯te here again. If Eldest Senior Brother disregards you, you wouldn¡¯t be able to handle it as a junior outer sect disciple.¡± After saying that, Song Qingfeng frowned slightly and looked very serious. Dong Xi did not say anything and only said ¡®yes¡¯ obediently. If Dong Xi knew that the fruit had an owner, she would not dare to pick it even if she had two more guts. Dong Xi looked up again and Song Qingfeng disappeared without a trace. Dong Xi looked at the empty space in front of him and felt very emotional. She did not know when she would be able to learn how toe and go without a trace. She had to walk back and forth on her two legs every day. It was really tiring. After a few steps, Dong Xi looked at the fruits in her arms and suddenly thought of something. All the abilities in the immortal cultivation world came from spiritual Qi. Dong Xi tried to gather the spiritual Qi in her legs. When she walked forward again, she felt much more rxed. Immediately, a happy expression appeared on her face as she quickly ran back to her house. Originally, it would have taken her nearly an hour to walk, but now that she had gathered the spiritual Qi in her legs, it took her less than an hour to return. Dong Xi was excitedly experiencing the new skill he had just learned. However, in the next moment, she realized that the peanuts that he had spent the entire afternoon cultivating were almost all gone. Dong Xi almost exploded on the spot. ording to the consumption rate and the speed at which her spiritual Qi was recovering, she did not even need to fight with anyone. Before he could even use any moves, his spiritual Qi would be gone. Even if he did not use any tricks, with this little spiritual energy, even running away would be a problem. Dong Xi did not know if she was the only one like this, or if everyone¡¯s spiritual energy recovery was this slow. Dong Xi was a little vexed now. Why did she not ask Song Qingfeng what was going on with her, and why did this happen? Although the original book said that Song Qingfeng¡¯s character was a bit strange, even if she was reprimanded or ridiculed by Song Qingfeng, it would still be better than her knowing nothing at all. It was still cloudy outside, and the strong wind kept blowing through the window. The bright moon that should have been hanging in the sky was hidden behind the dark clouds, and it was dark inside and outside the house. Dong Xi got up and closed the window before lighting up amp. She did not know how it was made. There was nomp oil, and she just drew aplicated pattern on it. It was really amazing that it could be lit just like that. Dong Xi had slowly adapted to the world of Immortal cultivation these days. As long as something existed, it was reasonable. Even if it was not reasonable, it was just that she had not seen it yet. Chapter 18 Changing the Medicine Dong Xi did not want to think too much. Since she was already here, she might as well take things as they came. The most important thing was to fill her stomach first. Dong Xi picked up the fruit that Song Qingfeng had forced on her and ate one in big mouthfuls. Then, she fed half of the fruit to the little snake. After that, she opened the little snake¡¯s pink cloak and prepared to change the medicine. As soon as she opened the cloak, a foul smell hit her in the face. Dong Xi could not help but want to retch. This smell made Dong Xi have a bad feeling in her heart. Could the little snake have died? Thinking of this, Dong Xi gently helped the little snake wash off the medicinal powder on its body. The hideous wound was exposed, and two scales had fallen out. Fortunately, the little snake had wriggled a few times in Dong Xi¡¯s hand at this time. Otherwise, Dong Xi would have thought that the little snake was already dead and might have buried it. Dong Xi took out some medicine for sore wounds and sprinkled arge amount on the little snake¡¯s body as if it was free. Then, she found a clean cloak and wrapped the little snake again. She put it on the bed and reached out her hand to gently tap the little snake¡¯s head. ¡®You¡¯re better off than me. Have a good rest. Good night.¡¯ Dong Xi thought about her cultivation speed. In order to survive in the future, she had to cultivate hard all these years. She did not n to sleep. Anyway, meditating and cultivating would make her feel refreshed. She might as well let the little snake sleep on the bed. Dong Xi did not know that every time she touched Su Cheng, he was aware, and he could feel it. A snake¡¯s body was naturally warm, and its body was cold. When a warm finger suddenly touched it, it was as if someone deliberately yed with Su Cheng¡¯s divine sense. Su Cheng naturally woke up and found that the person who was messing around with him was this human girl. Su Cheng was a little dissatisfied, but fortunately, this girl did not have any ill intentions, so he turned a blind eye to it. Moreover, the fruits that this girl fed him were also pretty good. Although the spiritual energy in the fruits was less, it was not easy for this girl to get these fruits. Moreover, it was all thanks to these fruits. Although the spiritual energy was not much, it had the function of purification. The old thief from the Poison-tempering Sect had even poisoned Su Cheng, which was why his wound was not healing. If this went on, his injury would only get worse. The fruit that this little girl fed Su Cheng was a lucky one, as it could purify the poison. However, the little girl fed him too little. At the moment, it could only alleviate the symptoms but notpletely cure them. Even so, it was fine. Su Cheng¡¯s body was strong. As long as he was given some time, he could slowly recover. Su Cheng knew that he was sleeping on this girl¡¯s bed. Before he fell asleep, he thought, ¡®Are humans so unreserved now? She could let a male lie on her bed so casually?¡¯ Dong Xi did not know about Su Cheng¡¯s messy thoughts. If she did, he would have hung Su Cheng on the fence in the yard and turned him into a dried snake. It was already veryte, and Dong Xi could not waste any more time. She sat cross-legged and kept forming seals with her hands, repeating this action. As she became more and more skilled in this action, Dong Xi also entered a very mysterious state. The speed of her hands became faster and faster, almost to the point that only a trace of afterimage could be seen. The purple spiritual Qi in her Dantian also made her somewhat eager to try. Dong Xi drew out a bit of spiritual Qi, and the seal formed by her hands immediately lit up. Just as it was about to be released, Dong Xi retracted her hand gesture. The room became quiet again, and only the faint candlelight was still shining. Dong Xi suddenly stopped because she had a premonition in her mind. She knew that this seal was a means of attack. If he struck it out, a hole would be created in the room. This was only the second day after he entered the sect, and there was such a sudden disturbance at night. If the sect wanted Dong Xi topensate for the damage, she would not be able to afford it. Sighing lightly, Dong Xi ended her seal formation practice and entered a meditative state to cultivate properly. This way, the spiritual energy in his body would be more abundant. Otherwise, it would be gone only after a short while of use. When the sky was slightly bright, Dong Xi opened her eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. At this time, the spiritual Qi in her Dantian had almost recovered. However, this turtle-speed cultivation made Dong Xi a little irritated. She got up and washed up. She picked up the fruit on the table and ate half of it. She fed the other half to the little snake. Since the little snake was still alive, she had to take good care of it. Just as she was about to go out, Dong Xi heard someone shouting outside, ¡°Sister Xi, are you in the room?¡± Chapter 19 What¡¯s the Matter? Dong Xi pushed open the window and saw that it was Ke Xin. Only then did she open the door. The moment she opened the door, the restriction on the house was lifted. Ke Xin was stunned for a moment when she saw the youngdy and the house that had suddenly appeared in front of her. Then, she came back to her senses and waved her hands at Dong Xi frantically. Dong Xi closed the door and walked out. When she passed by the door, she did not notice that the two scales that she had taken from the little snakes had already be the size of a palm and were covered in a thinyer of dust. Ke Xin said impatiently when she saw Dong Xi, ¡°I heard that our house is under a restriction.¡± ¡°It¡¯s to make it easier for new disciples to choose their residence. When they reach the Qi Refinement stage, they will be able to see these houses. But the house¡¯s restriction can prevent people below the Nascent Soul stage from detecting it. It¡¯s really convenient.¡± When Dong Xi heard these words, it dawned on her that if she wanted to continue hiding her house, she¡¯d have to use a higher-level array. Otherwise, as long as someone cultivated to the Qi Refinement stage, they would be able to see it. This was really making her cry. But what was Ke Xin doing here so early in the morning? Dong Xi asked Ke Xin, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Only then did Ke Xin remember that she still had important matters to attend to, and it should be something good. There was no point in going alone. She had just arrived at the sect and did not have many friends. The only person she knew was Dong Xi. The two of them were from the same hometown, so they naturally had to be closer. Therefore, Ke Xin came to find Dong Xi as soon as she could. Ke Xin said with a smile, ¡°I heard that in a few days, there will be a gathering in zing City. We can exchange for many things suitable for us new disciples.¡± also, there might be some unexpected gains. I came to see you today to ask if you would like to go with me to take a look?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s interest was piqued when she heard Ke Xin¡¯s words. It was not good to keep working behind closed doors. They should go out and take a look to broaden their horizons. Perhaps they would encounter some fortuitous encounter. Based on the experience they had from reading books, there was a chance to pick up some treasures at such gatherings, but going to the gatherings required money. Dong Xi said, ¡°We¡¯ve just entered the sect and don¡¯t have anything on us. We can¡¯t even take out anything else, so how are we going to exchange with them?¡± When Ke Xin heard this, she covered her mouth andughed. This little girl, Dong Xi, was really cute. Since she said it was suitable for neers, of course, she had a way. Although everyone was new to the sect, they had the sect¡¯s backing and benefits. Was there a need to be afraid that they would not have anything to exchange with others? The only question is whether the price is suitable or not. Ke Xin said with a smile, ¡°Have you forgotten? We¡¯ve all entered the sect. We can go and receive the neer¡¯s welfare today.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened when she heard this. Oh my God, how could she forget such an important thing? New disciples could receive their new disciple benefits on the third day of their entry. A yearter, they would have to take on missions to earn points, and then use the points to exchange for spirit stones and various cultivation resources. In the first year, new disciples would receive benefits, which was also the time the sect gave for new disciples to grow. This was Dong Xi¡¯s first time at the Points Hall, and so was Ke Xin¡¯s. However, Ke Xin had already asked around and was quite familiar with the ce. She hade here to look around during her free time, so she would not get lost with Dong Xi. Once she was done iming her benefits, she could go and exchange for some things in a few days. Ke Xin pointed at the points Hall and the buildings beside it. ¡°The Points Hall and the Cultivation Technique Hall are right next to each other/ After you¡¯ve drawn Qi into your body,e here and learn.¡± Dong Xi looked at the building in front of her with a face full of shock. This was apletely unfamiliar ce. Dong Xi was very sure that he had never been here before. If this was the Cultivation Technique Hall, then where was the ce he had been yesterday? But if she said that she went to the wrong ce, but still learned hand seals and basic sword techniques, how would she exin this? Although Dong Xi had many questions in her heart, she could only hold them in for now. The books mentioned that those who were not shrewd, carefree, and talked about everything would basically not live past three chapters. Dong Xi followed Ke Xin into the Points Hall, and the Senior Sisters there asked them to take out their tokens and press them on the runes. A tray would automatically appear at the bottom, and there would also be some benefits given to them by the sect. One bottle was called Spirit-charging Pill, and the other bottle was called Dust-expelling Pill. Ke Xin looked at the additional pills on the tray. She raised her head and asked curiously, ¡°Senior Sister, umm... Why is there an extra bottle?¡± Chapter 20 Benefits of the Alchemy Sect When Wang Ying heard Ke Xin¡¯s words, sheughed. Of course, other peaks did not have it, but this was the Alchemy Sect. What were there in the Alchemy Sect? of course, it¡¯s because they have a lot of pills. That¡¯s why the disciples of the Alchemy Sect will have one more bottle of pills than the disciples of other peaks. As a benefit for new disciples, many disciples of other peaks are very envious. Wang Ying said with a smile, ¡°The extra one is a Dust-expelling Pill. The other peaks don¡¯t have it. It¡¯s a benefit for our Alchemy Sect. It¡¯s a benefit given to new disciples by the Alchemy Sect¡¯s old ancestor. Before you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, take this pill. It will have the effect of cleansing your marrows. It¡¯s also for your future cultivation.¡± In the entire sect, only the Alchemy Sect could be so rich and generous. The other peaks did not dare to do so. There were a total of three medicinal pills in the bottle. One medicinal pill could be exchanged for 20 spirit stones. Although they were low-grade, there were so many new disciples every year. Moreover, Dong Xi and the others were all outer sect disciples. Such a good thing was something that could not be missed. Only a fool would use it to exchange for spirit stones. Dong Xi mimicked Ke Xin¡¯s actions and took her share. She held the porcin bottle in her hand and was extremely happy. After all, with this thing, one¡¯s cultivation would be even faster. At this moment, Ke Xin, who was beside Dong Xi, continued to ask, ¡°Senior Sister, if we take this pill, will our spirit root value also rise?¡± When this question was asked, Dong Xi perked up her ears and listened carefully. This was a first-ss matter. If eating it could increase the spirit root value, it would increase a lot in a year. At that time, cultivation would be easier and faster. Wang Ying shook her head and exined to the two of them, ¡°It won¡¯t. The spirit root value won¡¯t change. But you guys eat all kinds of junk food and grains in the mortal world. There are a lot of waste in your bodies. It will be difficult tomunicate with the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.¡± ¡°The main function of this pill is to remove the impurities in your bodies. It¡¯s just to let you guys absorb spiritual energy faster and more easily.¡± When Ke Xin heard this, she instantly lowered her head. Dong Xi also let out a soft sigh. However, Dong Xi quickly thought it through. If there was really a pill that could increase one¡¯s spirit root value, even if it was just a tiny bit, it would be priceless. How could it be given to new disciples like them as a welfare benefit? Unless the Alchemy Sect could refine it themselves. For these disciples with low attribute spirit roots, adding 1 or 2 points of perception was possible. However, if there was a genius disciple who entered the sect with 99 points, just being able to add a point or two, it would be considered a heaven spirit root. His cultivation would progress at a rapid pace, and he would be able to cultivate to great heights easily. Thinking of this, Dong Xi admitted that she was a little jealous, but she also made a vow in her heart. ¡®One day, I¡¯ll definitely find a treasure that can change my spirit roots. God has given me a second chance at life. I can¡¯t just keep being a good-for-nothing. If I try my best, perhaps everything will change.¡¯ After receiving the benefits, the two of them went to the cafeteria. After eating, Dong Xi even took two more buns and fruits. Ke Xin asked curiously, ¡°Dong Xi, are you not full yet?¡± Dong Xi chuckled. She could not possibly tell Ke Xin that she had picked up an injured little snake on her first day here, and that it was lying on her bed right now. Was this supposed to be for the little snake to eat when she returned? Even if Dong Xi was willing to tell her, Ke Xin might not believe it. Besides, if Ke Xin told the sect, there might be trouble. Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°it¡¯s a waste of time toe here to eat and then go back every day. I¡¯ll bring some back for lunch. I won¡¯t have to run back and forth like this.¡± Ke Xin was only a child. Who would have thought that someone could be so introverted? To the point that they did not even want to waste their timeing over to eat? However, very quickly, Ke Xin understood. They were all outer sect disciples, and their natural aptitudes were rather poor. If they did not work hard, they would forever be mediocre. Ke Xin said with a serious expression, ¡°I understand, you¡¯re right. It¡¯s a waste of time to go back and forth like this. I¡¯ll also take two more steamed buns back. I¡¯ll try to draw in Qi into my body beforeing out of the house.¡± Dong Xi was silent. She lowered her head and looked at the steamed bun in her hand. She was a little worried. She had just started cultivating and needed to eat every day, or her body would not be able to take the strain. Her Senior Brothers and Sisters had already cultivated to the point where they could abstain from food, so they did not need to worry about eating. They just had to cultivate properly. ¡°It would be great if the sect could distribute Fasting Pills.¡± Chapter 21 Who Are You? Ke Xin had just returned with a few steamed buns and happened to hear Dong Xi¡¯s words. She felt that it was very reasonable. If the sect could distribute Fasting Pills, they would have more time to cultivate. They would also be able to draw Qi into their bodies earlier. However, it did not matter. There would be a gathering in a few days. Ke Xin smiled and said to Dong Xi, ¡°It¡¯s okay, we have spirit stones in our hands now. At the gathering in a few days, there will definitely be people selling it. I¡¯ll just buy it then.¡± Dong Xi nodded, and the two of them went their separate ways. Ke Xin went back to cultivate, but Dong Xi did not. Instead, she walked up the mountain path, wanting to go to the Cultivation Technique Hall that Rui Xiang had sent her to yesterday to take a look. Could it be that she had really gone the wrong way? But this time, Dong Xi had only just left when he was stopped by two people. The two people held magic tools in their hands and asked coldly, ¡°Who are you?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took two steps back. These two people were holding magic tools in their hands. Who knew if they would suddenly attack? It was not easy for him toe back to life, so she could not just be killed so easily. Dong Xi still wanted to live on and experience the elegant demeanor of the Immortal cultivation world. Dong Xi cupped her fists and said respectfully, ¡°Hello, Senior Brothers. I¡¯m an outer sect disciple, Dong Xi. I just happened to pass by...¡± Before Dong Xi could finish her sentence, one of them interrupted her. This was not a ce that ordinary people coulde to. However, this girl was just a child and an outer sect disciple. She might have taken the wrong way, so she passed by here. However, she must be warned not to walk around randomly in the future. One of them said coldly, ¡°This is the forbidden area of the Alchemy Sect. No matter who you are, without the order of the Sect Master, you are not allowed to pass.¡± Dong Xi took two steps back when she heard the unfriendly tone of the two men. She was afraid that the two of them would attack her because of a disagreement. At that time, she would die in vain. The sect would not me them either. Dong Xi could only say that she had wandered off on her own. Thinking of this, Dong Xi hurriedly bowed respectfully to the two men and immediately said to them, ¡°I¡¯ll leave now, I¡¯ll leave now.¡± As she spoke, she immediately turned around and left. She was afraid that if she walked any slower, these two people would think that she was up to no good. Now, Dong Xi finally understood that he had not gone to the Cultivation Technique Hall yesterday. It was Rui Xiang who had sent him to the wrong ce. However, Rui Xiang could not be med for this. Dong Xi had also learned how to form a seal, and that seal was probably a big move. However, Dong Xi had a guilty conscience, so it was better not to show that she knew these hand seals. Dong Xi went straight back to her residence, took a wooden bucket, and went to get some water from the pond to put in the house forter use. Then, she sat down and took out the Dust-expelling Pill that he had just received today. The pill had a faint fragrance, and it was notparable to the unknown pill. Dong Xi did not think too much about it and immediately swallowed the Dust-expelling Pill. The pill melted in her mouth, and a faint fragrance spread through her mouth and spread to her internal organs. Her body was like and that had been dry for a long time and was receiving good rain, frantically absorbing the nutrients in the pill. Dong Xi even felt her muscles and bones stretch out inch by inch, and the cirction of her spiritual energy became smoother. However, her spiritual Qi would decrease a little after each cirction. Dong Xi still did not understand why. At this time, thefortable feeling after taking the pill suddenly stopped. It was like scratching an itch through her pants. As soon as she felt it, the effect of the pill wore off. Dong Xi frowned and took another pill with dissatisfaction. Then, she closed her eyes to adjust her breathing. After taking all three pills, Dong Xi let out a breath of turbid air and opened her eyes, which were as bright as torches. Now she understood why the sect only gave each new disciple three pills and not more. It was because three pills were just right. Dong Xi moved her muscles and bones, and she felt as if something on her face was falling off. Dong Xi frowned, and the sensation was even more severe. She raised her hand and realized that there seemed to be an additionalyer of gray keratin on her skin, which was a little hard. It also gave off an indescribable smell, like some kind of food that had been thrown into a trash can and fermented for a long time. It also smelled like it was slowly rotting after death. In short, it was very unpleasant. Dong Xi stood up and was about to take off her clothes to clean her body. As she took off her clothes, she sighed, ¡°This should not be called a Dust-expelling Pill. It should be called the Life Dust Pill! After eating it, a pile of dust will be produced on your body. And it smells so bad.¡± ¡°Fortunately, no one saw it in my house. If there was someone else here, they would suspect that I pooped my pants. Otherwise, how could it be so smelly?¡± Chapter 22 I Must Buy a Bath Barrel In front of Dong Xi was a pool of water that she prepared. After removing her clothes, she sat down in the wooden bucket. The bone-chilling water had been left in the room for a while, and Dong Xi still shivered from the cold. She gritted her teeth and circted her spiritual Qi. Only then did the cold in her body slowly dissipate. Dong Xi took out a handkerchief and carefully washed the dust off her body. As she bathed, she thought to himself, ¡®It¡¯s a good thing that the original body is only ten years old. Otherwise, this small wooden tub wouldn¡¯t be able to fit in. When I¡¯m more well-off in the future and have some spare money, I must buy a bath barrel, a good wooden tub. Then, I can take a hot bath. I can¡¯t take a cold bath like this anymore.¡¯ After the bath, Dong Xi put on her old clothes and prepared to wash the sect robes. After everything was done, Dong Xi sat down cross-legged again and began to feel the effects of the three Dust-expelling Pill. She did not know if it could really improve her cultivation speed, as her previous cultivation speed was slower than a snail. After she finished, she concentrated on feeling the spiritual Qi around her. However, just as she felt it, she opened her eyes again. She blinked his eyes in surprise. Why was the effect of this pill so good? When she felt the spiritual Qi just now, it was even longer than the first time. The surroundings were densely packed with spiritual Qi. It was as if a casual breath was equivalent to a whole day of cultivation without sleep or rest. It was a little too strong. However, after thinking about it carefully, Dong Xi felt that something was wrong. It must not be just the effect of the Dust-expelling Pill. The sect could not be so generous to new disciples. If the effects of the pill were really so good, it should have been given to the inner sect disciples long ago. Why would it be given to Dong Xi and the other newly arrived outer sect disciples? However, these days, Dong Xi had been cultivating in her room all the time. What was different? After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi saw the moonlight reflected on her arm. She was stunned at first, then she suddenly understood something. Could it be because of the moonlight? In order to verify her guess, Dong Xi picked up the futon on the ground and went to the courtyard. Then, she sat cross-legged under the moonlight and began to feel the spiritual Qi in the surroundings again. This time, the spiritual Qi in the surroundings was even denser. There was even a sticky feeling. Su Cheng, who was sleeping in the room, suddenly opened his eyes. It was not his divine sense, but he really opened his eyes. He looked at the sticky spiritual Qi outside the room and immediately used his divine sense to check the situation. Su Cheng was very surprised. This movement was caused by the little girl who was taking care of him. How could this be? A child with only three spirit roots could actually attract such spiritual energy? Could it be that this girl had some Innate Spirit Constitution? Su Cheng did not have time to think. He spat out his inner core and used hisst bit of strength to cast a spell to cover up the strange phenomenon here. After setting up everything, Su Cheng could not hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep. The spiritual energy that he had just recovered waspletely exhausted. The moment he fainted, Su Cheng was still thinking that the little girl should not cause any more trouble and attract those old farts from the Ningtian Sect. If those old farts came, they would definitely find him. At that time, whether it was him or the little girl, neither of them would get any benefits. However, this was all Su Cheng could do now. However, Dong Xi did not know about this. Although she had attracted so much spiritual energy, she had just started cultivating not long ago. The amount she could absorb was only a little. Dong Xi felt that her entire body was filled with spiritual Qi. The spiritual Qi was flowing along her meridians and finally gathered in her Dantian. After the cleansing of the Dust-expelling Pill, there were indeed some changes in her meridians. From the original small path, they had be arge path. The spiritual energy cirction was also smoother. This time, the spiritual energy that entered her Dantian did not separate in its own corner, but directly merged into purple spiritual energy. However, after one round of cirction, the spiritual energy would still be much less. Dong Xi did not understand why her body was leaking spiritual energy. Although it was leaking, ording to the current cultivation speed, Dong Xi could still ept it. As long as there was enough spiritual Qi left, it was not a big deal to lose some of it. After a few rounds of cirction, the purple spiritual Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s body turned dark purple. Looking at the dark purple spiritual Qi, Dong Xi suddenly thought that if he used this kind of spiritual Qi to temper her meridians, would her meridians be better after a long time? Would it be easier to circte spiritual Qi? Not only that, if she cultivated in the future, her speed would increase, right? Chapter 23 Tempering the Meridians When Dong Xi thought of this, she immediately began to refine her meridians little by little with the spiritual Qi in her empty body. She tried to refine her meridians with spiritual energy, but nothing unusual happened. Dong Xi also heaved a sigh of relief. Since there was no problem, she could refine without any worries. Due to a freakbination of factors, Dong Xi did not know that he had actually embarked on the right path. A strong meridian was not only better in a battle, but it was also easier for her to break through the cultivation realms than others. Unknowingly, Dong Xi had been tempering for an entire night until the spiritual Qi around him began to thin. Dong Xi stopped her cultivation and slowly opened her eyes. After a night of tempering, her meridians emitted a faint purple light. Looking at the state of the meridian, Dong Xi felt that there should be no mistake. The effect would be more and more obvious if this continued. She would wait until all of this meridian had beenpletely tempered before breaking through. ording to the current speed of tempering, if she could be exposed to moonlight every day, she would be able topletely temper the meridian in about one or two months, and then break through to the second level of Qi Refinement. Dong Xi patted her body to get rid of the mist. Looking at the sun and moon shining in the sky, her heart became even more determined. When she had just passed transmigrated, she did not know what had happened, but it was different from the original body in the book. Now it seemed that it was not a bad thing. Although he was not a genius now, a few yearster, she definitely would not be a waste who was only at the third level of Qi Refinement. Dong Xi stretchedzily, her mood had be quite good. Ever since she had entered the sect, the problem that had been troubling her had been solved. In the days toe, she only needed to cultivate well. Not only did she have to live well, but one day, Dong Xi would also Ascend to the Immortal world and see what a true Immortal was like. Meditating during the day was not as efficient as meditating at night. Dong Xi gave up the idea of meditating during the day. Instead, she used a branch as a sword and practiced the basic subtraction he had learned in the forbiddennd that day. She did not stop until the sun was high in the sky. She washed herself with the remaining pond water and ate the steamed buns left from yesterday. Then, she changed the medicine for the little snake and fed it half of the spirit fruit. She did not know if she had sensed it wrongly, but she felt that the little snake¡¯s condition was even worse today. Its scales, which were originally glistening with a cold light, now looked a little gray. Dong Xi had no other choice at the moment. She had been taking care of the little snake for a few days, and she could not just watch it die. She could only wait for the gathering a few dayster to see if there were any medicine to treat spirit beasts. Right now, he could only hope that the little snake would hold on. It was already the fourth day since Dong Xi and the other new disciples had entered the sect. By right, there should be someone who had alreadypleted the Qi-guiding process. Dong Xi decided to go to the real Cultivation Technique Hall to have a look. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how much spiritual Qi He absorbed. When Dong Xi arrived at the Cultivation Technique Hall, there were already people there. It was a tall and thin boy who looked to be about 15 years old. When the boy saw Dong Xie in, he became very vignt. Dong Xi just pretended not to see him. In any case, she was here to learn magic spells today and did not want to cause trouble. Dong Xi quickly stepped forward and cupped her fists toward Senior Sister Wang Ying, who was teaching the other disciples. ¡°Hello, Senior Sister.¡± Wang Ying still had an impression of Dong Xi. The other day, Dong Xi and Ke Xin hade together to receive the neer¡¯s benefits. Dong Xi was much prettier than Ke Xin. Whether it was men or women, it was always easier to remember good-looking people. Wang Ying smiled. She did not expect this little girl to have sessfully drawn Qi into her body. ¡°You¡¯ve also sessfully drawn Qi into your body?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Of course, she had absorbed Qi into her body. Moreover, she had done it on the first night. However, she could not say it like that. If she did, these people would probably think that she was a lunatic, and a lunatic who only knew how to brag. Dong Xi thought for a moment, then smiled and said to her Senior Sister, ¡°Yes. I drew Qi into my bodyst night, so I wanted to learn some simple spells today.¡± Wang Ying asked Dong Xi to ce her hand on the spirit testing stone. Dong Xi knew that this was to test the amount of spiritual Qi she had. Dong Xi had deliberately concealed her strength and only drew out a small portion of her spiritual energy. The spirit testing stone emitted a faint light. Wang Ying saw this and smiled. The strength of the new disciples and outer sect disciples was basically the same. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s indeed spiritual energy that has entered your body. Junior Sister, you should have a fire spirit root, and your root value is not bad. Do you want to learn a fireball technique first?¡± Chapter 24 Fireball When Dong Xi heard Wang Ying¡¯s words, she also felt that she was right. Among the three spirit roots, her fire spirit root value was higher. Therefore, it should be easier to learn the fireball technique. Moreover, the fireball technique was an attack technique. If she encountered any trouble in the future, even if she could not defeat her foes, she could still attack and then escape. Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Senior Sister.¡± Wang Ying immediately taught the fireball technique to Dong Xi. Then, she very responsibly and seriously taught Dong Xi how to form the seal and how to draw out the fire spirit essence. Although Dong Xi understood, she was still very confused. But now, the three spiritual?Qi had all turned into a ball of purple spiritual Qi. How was she going to separate the fire spiritual Qi? Wang Ying looked at Dong Xi¡¯s wide-open eyes. She had a cute and silly look on her face. Perhaps this little girl did not really understand what she was saying. This was normal. They were not geniuses, so it was impossible for them to learn it in a short time. This was especially so for new disciples. It was natural for them to learn it a few more times. Wang Ying could not help but pinch Dong Xi¡¯s face when she saw how cute he was. She said gently, ¡°You guys probably don¡¯t understand, but it¡¯s okay. Try it, you¡¯ll slowly find the feeling.¡± Dong Xi was a little embarrassed. She was already 18 years old, but she was living in the body of a 10-year-old, and her face had to be pinched. This feeling was really ufortable. However, when she saw the encouraging smile on Wang Ying¡¯s face, Dong Xi followed her movements and began to form hand seals. In the end, she saw Wang Ying draw out the fire spiritual essence, and a ball of fire condensed in her palm. Dong Xi did not know how to separate the fire spiritual Qi from the purple spiritual Qi. In the end, she simply drew out a little bit of the purple spiritual Qi. A small me also appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s palm and then disappeared. Wang Ying saw the me quickly disappear in Dong Xi¡¯s palm. Her eyes were a little surprised and she encouraged Dong Xi. ¡°Not bad. You¡¯re able to make fire appear on your first try. This is considered a very good result. Let¡¯s try again.¡± Dong Xi knew very well that the fire had disappeared after appearing for a while only because she had drawn out too little spiritual Qi. If she had drawn out more, the fire would havested longer. Dong Xi sensed a gaze on her and turned around to see that it was the tall and thin boy. His gaze was extremely unfriendly, and her negligent vignce immediately rose. That¡¯s right, he was upset. Dong Xi, a trash with three spirit roots, was able to draw Qi into her body within four days. This was already shocking enough. If news of her amazingprehension ability were to spread, Dong Xi was afraid that she would not have any peaceful days in the future. After making up her mind, Dong Xi immediately formed another seal in front of everyone. However, this time, there was not even a me. After trying several times in a row, Dong Xi¡¯s face became somewhat impatient. All of this was done for the sake of giving a false impression, so that they would not find trouble with her in the future. All Dong Xi wanted was peace and quiet, and to cultivate properly. At this time, Dong Xi deliberately raised her voice and said loudly, ¡°How did this happen? I did follow the previous movements.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Cultivation Technique Hall. Some of the children of the same age had a hint of contempt on their faces, while the Senior Brothers and Sisters had yful smiles on their faces. The boy who had an unfriendly look on his face earlier chuckled a few times. So this girl was just lucky just now, but now she could not replicate it. The boy said with a hint of ridicule, ¡°It was luck just now. Do you really think that Immortal cultivation relies on luck? If you had learned the fireball technique in one or two tries, you would have been an inner disciple long ago. How could you be an outer disciple?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, her face was filled with disappointment. However, she was overjoyed in his heart. Children were so easy to fool. She just put on a show and these children believed her. This was great. It would save her a lot of trouble in the future. Wang Ying was very unhappy and frowned. They were all disciples of the first batch. How could he say such things? Wang Ying walked to Dong Xi¡¯s side andforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t give up. There was a girl with a root value of 99 in the same batch of disciples as you. She also took two days to master this magic spell. So, don¡¯t be anxious. Take it slow. You¡¯ll probably get better with more practice.¡± Dong Xi nodded her head. This Senior Sister was so good. At the critical moment, she even knew how to y along with her. Now, no one would think that she had a high level ofprehension. They would only think that she was lucky. From now on, she would be able to cultivate in peace and not pay attention to the outside world. Dong Xi looked at Wang Ying with a depressed expression and said in a light voice, ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister. I understand. I¡¯ll continue to practice after I go back.¡± Chapter 25 Petty-Minded Dong Xi turned around and left. her lonely back seemed to be in a daze. Wang Ying sighed as she looked at Dong Xi¡¯s back. This little girl was still too young. She felt like she had suffered a disappointment just like that. In the future, the girl will learn that there are disappointments everywhere on the path of cultivation. Dong Xi went out. After confirming that she had left everyone¡¯s line of sight, she immediately returned to her normal state. That thin and tall boy looked like he had the life of a cannon fodder. He was so willing to meddle in other people¡¯s business and was also so petty. He could not bear to see others doing well. Dong Xi walked back to her small house. This time, she had been in seclusion for four days. She would go to the canteen every morning and take some steamed buns. After she returned, he would spend the entire day in her house studying how to use spiritual energy. First, she formed a seal ording to the method Wang Ying had taught her. Then, she drew out spiritual Qi and controlled the size of the fireball in his hand ording to the amount of spiritual Qi. Dong Xi memorized these feelings. Next time, she did not form any seals. He just opened his palm and a fireball appeared. When she reached out to touch the fireball, she did not burn her hand. However, she could still light amp with the me in her hand. Dong Xi¡¯s heart moved. The me on her fingertip turned green in color and then yellow in color. Dong Xi looked at the changes in the spiritual Qi on her hand and smiled. The purple spiritual Qi could change at any time, which was also very good. The attributes of wood and earth spiritual roots were rtively low, and the absorption was also very slow. If it was transferred over like this, the fire spiritual Qi would be more abundant. Dong Xi now understood that the purpose of the Cultivation Technique Hall was to teach these new disciples how to use spiritual energy. However, it was still the same. Fire spiritual Qi was fire, and wood spiritual Qi could promote the growth of nts, and it could also distinguish the age and attributes of nts. It was just that the new disciples were not familiar with it yet. As long as the spiritual energy in their bodies was matched with the corresponding detection, they could suppress other spiritual Qi. Dong Xi did not have these problems. When her spiritual Qi entered her Dantian, it immediately turned purple. When she needed to use it, she could just change it directly. She did not need to go through the trouble of suppressing it. Dong Xi casually yed with the green ball of light, thinking about whether she should ept some sect missions next. Although the sect provided food, amodation, and welfare for the entire year, the outer sect disciples like them had rtively poor aptitudes. It was useless to only know how to cultivate. One still needed to have some fortuitous encounter or the help of special medicinal pills. Disciples below the second level of Qi Refinement stage could not take on missions outside, but they could still take on missions within the sect. For example, helping to dig up some herbs in the herb field, or going to the kitchen to fetch water and wash vegetables. Dong Xi thought as she retracted the spiritual energy in her hand. The next moment, she looked at her fingers and her eyes widened. Dong Xi still remembered that when she had gone to pick the fruit that day, she had identally cut her hand. How could there not even be a scar now? This morning, she could still see the scar. After pondering for a moment, Dong Xi recalled that wood spiritual energy was the spiritual energy of life. She had wanted to continue experimenting, but looking at her own delicate hands, Dong Xi really could not do it. Dong Xi was in a dilemma for a long time. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to look at the little snake on the bed. There was a little whiteb rat over there, right? Why did she need to experiment on herself when she had this snake? Dong Xi picked up the little snake, untied the cloak on the little snake, raised her hand to gather the green wood spiritual Qi, and covered the little snake¡¯s injured area. Su Cheng woke up again, and was suddenly a little irritable. No one would be happy if they were woken up by someone from their closed-door cultivation. Moreover, this was not just once or twice. They woke up several times a day. Su Cheng now wanted to swallow this girl in one bite. However, in the next moment, Su Cheng¡¯s violent temper was purified by a cloud of dense wood spiritual energy. Snakes loved nts. This dense wood spiritual energy entered his body and repaired Su Cheng¡¯s slightly broken heart. As it was repaired bit by bit, his heart started beating again. However, Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation level was too low. She only repaired it for a while before withdrawing her hand. As thefortable feeling dissipated, Su Cheng subconsciously curled himself around Dong Xi¡¯s finger. Dong Xi felt a cold sensation on her finger. At first, she was stunned, and then her face was filled with ecstasy. ¡°It¡¯s true. The wood spiritual energy does have a healing effect. It¡¯s the spiritual energy of life. The little snake hase back to life not long after it¡¯s been used.¡± Dong Xi said excitedly as he grabbed the little snake. ¡°As expected, as expected. Little snake, you¡¯re alright? You¡¯re alive? That¡¯s great, I was right.¡± Chapter 26 You¡¯re Not Dead After All Su Cheng felt that someone was pinching his weak spot. He instinctively rolled up his tail and wrapped it around Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Dong Xi saw the little snake move and let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that she did not need to buy any spirit herbs. Dong Xi said happily, ¡°You¡¯re not dead. I knew it. That¡¯s great.¡± These words of concern changed the feeling in Su Cheng¡¯s ears. From the moment he was born, Su Cheng had crawled out of a snake¡¯s egg alone. He had no parents and no one cared about his life or death. This was the first time someone cared so much about him. Su Cheng¡¯s mood suddenly became a little happy and he unconsciously flicked his snake¡¯s tongue. Dong Xi saw this scene and asked happily, ¡°Little snake, are you hungry? If you¡¯re hungry, just nod.¡± Su Cheng was a great demon who had survived the Lightning Tribtion. He had abstained from food a long time ago, so how could he be hungry? Su Cheng shook his head. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Su Cheng shaking his head. This little snake could actually understand! Dong Xi could not help but say excitedly, ¡°You can understand my words? As expected, you¡¯re a spirit beast. You¡¯re so powerful.¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s face and thought to himself, ¡®Human babies are really childish. What¡¯s there to be happy about?¡¯ Dong Xi took out a fruit from her storage bag and said carefully, ¡°Look, I have some fruits here.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you eat it, but you can¡¯t bite me, okay?¡± Su Cheng looked at the low-grade spirit fruit that would not normally appear in front of him, and his pupils shrank. Dong Xi looked at the little snake for a long time, and the snake still did not nod its head. Her face suddenly became very serious. If she was bitten by it and it was poisonous, she might die on the spot. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi, thenid on Dong Xi¡¯s arm. Dong Xi¡¯s body was overflowing with spiritual Qi. He did not know what kind of Spirit Constitution this girl had, but it actually had some effect on his injuries. He decided to keep her for the time being. Dong Xi saw the disdain in the eyes of the little snake and immediately frowned. She took a bite of the fruit. A spirit beast was actually so picky and even dared to despise this fruit. Dong Xi ate while mumbling, ¡°I gave you food and you¡¯re still not happy? You know, when you were unconscious, the food you ate was especially fragrant.¡± Su Cheng felt a little helpless. This little girl took advantage of him when he was down, and now she had the nerve to say it? If the little girl was not still useful, Su Cheng would have swallowed her on the spot to save himself the trouble. Dong Xi saw the little snake lying on her arm and closing its eyes again. It was obvious that it did not want to talk to her. Dong Xi was very unhappy. She pinched the little snake¡¯s tail and pulled it off her arm. Since it did not want to talk to her, it should lie on her arm. Su Cheng had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the little girl. Although his heart meridian had recovered a little, his injuries were still very serious. When he was ambushed and resisted the Lightning Tribtion, most of his meridians were broken, and he was still very weak. Su Cheng needed to sleep and recuperate. He could not be woken up again and again, which would only dy his healing. Su Cheng opened his eyes and heard the little girl¡¯s dissatisfaction. ¡°Don¡¯t pester me, go to sleep by yourself.¡± Su Cheng was suddenly very angry and once again climbed onto Dong Xi¡¯s arm. Just as Dong Xi was about to reach out and take the snake away, she saw the snake twining around his arm and flickering with a dark light. A ck tattoo in the shape of a snake appeared on Dong Xi¡¯s white and wless arm, as wild as it could be. Dong Xi was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only let the little snake rest on her arm. The next day was the day that Dong Xi and Ke Xin had agreed to meet. Today was the day that they would go to the gathering to take a look. Dong Xi stood up from the futon. After washing up, she took her storage bag and went out to wait at the ce they had agreed on. After 15 minutes, Ke Xin ran over from afar and said to Dong Xi while panting, ¡°Dong Xi, I¡¯ve seeded, I¡¯ve drawn Qi into my body.¡± Dong Xi was very happy when she heard Ke Xin¡¯s words. After drawing Qi into one¡¯s body, one would truly enter cultivation. In the future, one would have to cultivate even more diligently. Although one¡¯s aptitude was not very good, as long as one cultivated diligently, perhaps there would be a difference. Dong Xi said sincerely, ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve managed to draw in Qi into your body in just eight days. You¡¯re already very impressive.¡± Dong Xi did not know if something had happened to her during her transmigration, but based on the original body¡¯s aptitude, even if she tried to draw in Qi for a month, she probably would not be able to do so. Compared to Ke Xin, Ke Xin¡¯s aptitude was much better than the original body¡¯s. Chapter 27 Aren¡¯t We Going Down the Mountain? If Dong Xi remembered correctly, Ke Xin was also born for alchemy, and had fire and wood spirit roots. Both of their spirit root valuesbined did not even exceed 80, otherwise, they would have been inner sect disciples by now. Ke Xin said happily, ¡°I¡¯ve just sessfully drawn in Qi into my body this morning, so I¡¯m a littlete. You¡¯re not angry, are you? I¡¯ll treat you to a good mealter.¡± Hearing this, Dong Xi smiled. Of course, she was not angry. Even though her body was only 10 years old, her soul was almost 20. How could she get angry so easily? Dong Xi smiled as she spoke to Ke Xin. ¡°I¡¯m so happy for you, why would I be angry? Let¡¯s go quickly, I want to see what this Immortal market is like, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the difference between them and our family¡¯s.¡± Ke Xin nodded. Dong Xi was not the only one who was curious, Ke Xin was extremely curious as well. When she saw Dong Xi about to head down the mountain, she immediately grabbed her and looked at her with a strange expression. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Dong Xi was also confused. Were they not going to the market? Of course they had to go down the mountain. Otherwise, how could they go to the market? The market could not be in the sect. Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin in confusion and said calmly, ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to the market? Of course, we¡¯re going down the mountain.¡± When Ke Xin heard this, she immediatelyughed. Dong Xi actually wanted to walk down the mountain. One had to know that the sect was extremelyrge. If they walked down the mountain like this, by the time they reached the ce, the market would have long since disappeared. Ke Xinughed and said, ¡°The sect is so big, if you walk down, how long will it take you to reach?¡± Dong Xi also knew that the sect was huge, but what else could she do if she did not leave? ¡°We¡¯re all new disciples, and we don¡¯t have any spirit beasts to ride. There¡¯s no other way than walking. If we leave now, we might still make it. What else can we do?¡± Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi¡¯s cute and dazed expression and could not help but want tough. Even if she had drawn Qi into her body and had spiritual energy, it would take a long time to walk. Walking was not a good idea. Ke Xin immediately said, ¡°Follow me, I¡¯ve already asked around. There¡¯s a teleportation formation in the sect that leads there. It only takes two Spirit stones to get there.¡± When Dong Xi heard that she needed spirit stones, she felt her heart ache. Originally, she had only received ten low-grade spirit stones, but now she had to spend two. One-fifth of her wealth was gone in an instant. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi¡¯s expression and knew that he was feeling heartache for the spirit stones, so she whispered to her, ¡°Dong Xi, I know your heart aches for the spirit stones. I¡¯ve also asked Senior Sister Wang Ying. She said that we can go to the herb field to sort the herbs.¡± ¡°That job is quite troublesome, and the rewarded spirit stones are quite low. The senior disciples are not willing to do it, but we can do it. We¡¯ll be able to earn spirit stones then.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she nodded. However, if they could think of this, the other new disciples would also think of this. It was just that most of them had not drawn Qi into their bodies yet, so they should be able to earn a few days first before thinking about the future. It did not take long for the two of them to arrive at the teleportation array. It could teleport ten disciples at a time. When Dong Xi and the other man arrived, they had just sent away a group of disciples. Now, they could only wait here until there were ten people to teleport together. At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage flew across the sky, heading in the direction of the main peak. Everyone looked at the carriage in the sky enviously, and Dong Xi was no exception. Then, they heard the people around them discussing. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the carriage from the Destiny Valley?¡± ¡°Why did they suddenlye to our sect? Could it be that something is going to happen in the Immortal world?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Quickly take out the jade slip and take a look.¡± Dong Xi watched as some people took out jade slips and started to browse. It was very simr to surfing on mobile phones in the 21st century. It should not be said to be simr, but it was exactly the same. After a while, he heard people start to say. ¡°I see it, I see it. It seems like the valley Master of Destiny Valley has found out the whereabouts of the Demon Lord, Su Cheng. The name Su Cheng made Dong Xi¡¯s pupils shrink. Dong Xi knew this name. Demon Lord Su Cheng was the Big Boss viin in the original book. The original book said that the Shocking Cloud Sect, Bright Moon Sect, Ningtian Sect, Heavenly Fiend Pce, Zongheng Pavilion, and other eight major sects had taken advantage of the Lightning Tribtion to encircle and annihte Su Cheng. In the end, Su Cheng resisted the Lightning Tribtion and even heavily injured the people of the eight big sects. He sessfully escaped, and after recovering from his injuries, he returned to the demon¡¯s cave and led many demons to invade the Northern Continent where the eight big sects were. In an instant, countless people were killed and injured in the Northern Continent. Chapter 28 Forcefully Lowering Intelligence In the original book, Demon Lord Su Cheng almost destroyed the Northern Liang Continent. In the end, the female protagonist, Dong Rourou, used her talent and sword Dao to be one with the Heartless Sword to hurt Demon Lord Su Cheng. It was also this sword attack that made Su Cheng fall in love with Dong Rourou. In fact, the Demon Lord was even willing to let go of all the grudges with the eight major sects. Dong Xi had seen this in her previous life and immediately gave up on reading it. The dignified Demon Lord of the generation was actually a love-struck brat? It was ridiculous. In order to create a character for the female protagonist, the author even forced the Demon Lord to lower his intelligence because of one sword move, causing him to fall in love with the female protagonist. Was the Demon Lord a masochist? Su Cheng, who had been wrapped around Dong Xi¡¯s arm, wanted to sneeze. He did not know who was talking about him. Dong Xi recalled the contents of the book she had read in her previous life, especially the part where the Demon Lord had lowered his intelligence. Dong Xi was a little angry. It was simply written blindly. At this moment, Dong Xi heard Ke Xin ask the others with practiced ease, ¡°Senior Sister, who is this Demon Lord Su Cheng? Is that guy lost?¡± Dong Xi turned around and saw Ke Xin standing beside the two senior disciples. They were discussing this matter with great enthusiasm. When Dong Xi saw this, she fell silent. Was she the so-called ¡®social butterfly¡¯? No wonder Ke Xin knew everything. No matter where she went, she could chat with everyone she saw. This kind of ability was really amazing. She had friends everywhere. Not long after, Ke Xin came back with the news she had heard. Ke Xin said, ¡°I¡¯ve already asked around. Demon Lord Su Cheng is a bad guy. He was seriously injured during the Lightning Tribtion a while ago. The eight big sects want to destroy him...¡± Ke Xin spoke non-stop. The gossip in the cultivation world was much more interesting than the ones in her hometown. When Dong Xi heard Ke Xin¡¯s words, she felt that they were different from what she had read in the original book. She could understand it. After all, the two of them were in the territory of the Righteous Path. How could these Righteous Path sects let their disciples know that they took advantage of when Su Cheng was facing difficulties to ambush him? Dong Xi asked calmly as she was more interested in the jade slip that those disciples had used. ¡°Do you know what they were using just now?¡± Ke Xin was a person who liked to have deep rtionships, so of course, she would not disappoint Dong Xi. She had found out everything clearly, and in the process of gossiping, she would naturally ask about this. Ke Xin immediately said to Dong Xi, ¡°It¡¯s called amunication jade slip. After the two of them leave their spirit breath behind, they can contact each other at any time. There¡¯s also some news about the cultivation world that everyone can see.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she instantly reacted. That was like a mobile phone for the cultivation world, right? Dong Xi immediately became even more interested. In order to be able to integrate well into the cultivation world, she had to give herself leverage. Actually, the most important thing is that an inte-addicted girl just wants a small phone like this. When she was bored, she could go online and browse the news, just like how she did with social media in her previous life. Ke Xin said, ¡°They¡¯re sold at the gathering, I¡¯ll take a look when I get there.¡± There were still many disciples who wanted to go to the gathering. Before long, ten people were gathered. The person in charge of the teleportation told the new disciples to close their eyes when they were teleported. They might feel a little dizzy, and they had to be mentally prepared. In less than 15 minutes, they would be teleported there. Dong Xi obediently closed her eyes. The teleportation began, and the dizziness was a bit simr to the carsick feeling in her previous life. In her previous life, Dong Xi took the bus every day, so she quickly epted it. Ke Xin, on the other hand, did not have such a good reaction. The moment she was teleported to the ce, her face was pale and she looked extremely ufortable. The Senior Sister who had been gossiping with Ke Xin took out a small bottle and passed it to Ke Xin. She spoke with experience, ¡°I bought this before teleporting. Try it.¡± Ke Xin opened the bottle¡¯s stopper and took a deep breath. Immediately, a cool and refreshing feeling rushed up to the top of her head. Her facial features scrunched up, but she quickly recovered. After it was done, Ke Xin wanted to return it to this Senior Sister, but the Senior Sister waved her hand and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need it anymore, so I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Ke Xin said. The two Senior Sisters then left. When they were far away, Ke Xin suddenly remembered that she had not even asked which sect they were from. Dong Xi said indifferently when she saw Ke Xin¡¯s dejected expression, ¡°Let¡¯s go buy a jade slipter. Next time you see Senior Sister, you can add her¡­ No, I mean, you can ask her to leave her spirit breath. When the timees, you can contact each other at any time. You can chat whenever you want.¡± Chapter 29 Communication Jade slip Ke Xin nodded after hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words. With the jade slip, they could contact each other at any time. When the time came, they would know everything. There was no need to ask around. Ke Xin said to Dong Xi with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right. We need amunication jade slip so that we can contact each other in the future.¡± Dong Xi thought to herself, ¡®Are you sure you want to contact her? You just want to gossip, don¡¯t you?¡¯ Dong Xi did not expose Ke Xin. She saw that most of the people on the street were disciples of the Ningtian Sect, and they were all wearing the uniform of the sect. It was said that some of the shops here would even give a discount to the disciples of the Ningtian Sect. Ke Xin thought about the jade slip and brought Dong Xi to find out where to buy it. She immediately went to the jade slip shop. This thing was something that everyone in the cultivation world could have. The price of a piece of basic equipment was not very high. The two of them soon arrived at a jade slip shop. Ke Xin impatiently dragged Dong Xi in. As soon as they entered, Ke Xin loudly asked, ¡°What¡¯s the price? Shopkeeper, do you have any moremunication jade slips?¡± A person quickly walked out from the counter. After seeing the two girls¡¯ age and the clothes they were wearing, a professional smile immediately appeared on his face. As long as they entered the door, they were guests and must be treated well. The waiter said with a smile, ¡°You two are the new disciples of the Ningtian Sect?¡± Dong Xi nodded. She wondered what qualification was needed to buy a jade slip. However, when she saw the smile on the waiter¡¯s face, Dong Xi seemed to have understood something. Whether it was in the 21st century or the Immortal cultivation world, business should be the same. Dong Xi said indifferently, ¡°That¡¯s right. Why? does your shop offer a discount? ¡± The waiter still had a professional smile on his face. Jade slips were not sold by his shop alone. Now that someone had entered the shop, of course, he would try his best to get the customer to buy it in his own shop. The waiter immediately said, ¡°Of course I do. May I know what type of jade slips you two Fairies want?¡± Dong Xi was stunned when he heard this. There were even categories? Just like how there were brands for cell phones in the 21st century? Every brand was different? However, Dong Xin did not care that much. She instead waved her hand and said to the waiter, ¡°Take them all out, let¡¯s choose.¡± The waiter nodded, turned around, and walked back to the counter. After a while, he found a wooden box from an unremarkable ce, took out all the jade slips inside, and said to the two with a smile, ¡°Faries, these are the jade slips you wanted. The white ones are moremon and rtively cheaper. The pink and green ones are rtively more expensive.¡± Ke Xin looked at the jade slips in front of her and immediately took a fancy to one of the pink ones. Afterparing it to the other colors, this pink one looked the best. She held the pink one in her hand and asked the waiter, ¡°How much do you need for this?¡± The waiter was very good at reading people¡¯s expressions. When he saw Ke Xin holding the jade slip fondly, he knew that he had made a profit. He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Ke Xin with a smile and said sincerely, ¡°It should have been 13 low-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°But we have a rule in our shop that disciples of the Ningtian Sect get a discount when they buy anything. Eight spirit stones will do.¡± At first, Ke Xin had been a little worried that she would not be able to buy it if she did not have enough spirit stones. However, after hearing about the discount, she had just enough spirit stones on hand. Just as she was about to pay, she heard Dong Xi say, ¡°Give us a cheaper price.¡± Ke Xin was clearly taken aback. You can even haggle over this? This was amunication jade slip, and it had always been quite expensive. The shopkeeper most likely would not agree to this. Ke Xin watched as Dong X put on a cold expression and pointed at the jade slip as she spoke to the waiter. ¡°These are all designs from many years ago. It¡¯ll be hard for you guys to sell it. If we don¡¯t buy it, you¡¯ll have to wait a long time before you can find a disciple who is willing to buy it. If you can¡¯t sell it, and you still need to upy space, it¡¯s more appropriate to sell it to us at a lower price now.¡± The waiter originally wanted to earn more, but he did not expect that these children would be so hard to fool. They even knew how to bargain. However, the waiter still wanted to fight for more sales, so he said with a serious face, ¡°Little Fairy, I¡¯m just an employee, I can¡¯t make the decision. Whatever price the owner wants me to sell it for, I can only sell it for that price.¡± Dong Xi knew that this was the same as the mobile phone in his previous life. The profit was high. In fact, these jade slips could not be so expensive. The price should be very low. Dong Xi said to the waiter, ¡°Then go and invite the Boss over, I¡¯ll talk to him.¡± Chapter 30 Haggling The waiter did not expect that this little girl would actually want to directly speak to the Boss. In fact, these jade slips have been unsalvageable for a period of time. They could be sold at a cheap price, but it would be best if they could be sold at a high price. The waiter pretended to be helpless and said, ¡°The Boss is not here.¡± Dong Xi did not believe in these things. In her previous life, when she bought a phone, she could get a discount of a few hundred yuan after haggling. Now, a jade slip could naturally be cheaper. Dong Xi said to the waiter, ¡°You also have amunication jade slip, can¡¯t you just ask?¡± Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi in shock. She wanted to tell Dong Xi that she had some money, so they did not need to haggle. However, when she saw Dong Xi haggling with the waiter with a serious expression, Ke Xin could not say anything. In the end, the waiter gave in and asked, ¡± what¡¯s wrong? How much do you want to buy it for?¡± Dong Xi had been observing the waiter¡¯s every expression. She did not ask for any details. At this time, Dong Xi knew that the price could be lowered. She did not hesitate and said to the waiter, ¡°Two low-grade spirit stones.¡± When the waiter heard the price, he immediately fell silent. Ke Xin was even more shocked. She sneaked a nce at the waiter¡¯s expression, afraid that they would be driven out. After all, the price was too low. Dong Xi, on the other hand, said this with a calm expression. ¡°Sell it to us. When we return, we will tell the other disciples toe and buy it from you.¡± When the waiter heard this, he started to think. If they really went back and told the other disciples, the price would definitely attract a lot of people. At that time, they would not have to worry about not being able to sell these. The waiter immediately said, ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do it ording to your price.¡± When Dong Xi heard the waiter¡¯s words, she fell silent. She felt that the price could even be lowered to one spirit stone, but since things had alreadye to this, it was not good to say anything more. She looked at the dazed Ke Xin and patted her on the shoulder. ¡°Deal, here are the spirit stones.¡± Only then did Ke Xin snap back to her senses and look at Dong Xi with adoration. She had thought that Dong Xi was introverted and did not like to talk, but she did not expect that every word she said would be used on the knife¡¯s edge. With just a few words, she had saved quite a few spirit stones. She was truly amazing. Ke Xin immediately paid two Spirit stones and held the pink jade slip in her hand, her heart filled with joy. Seeing that Ke Xin had paid, Dong Xi turned around and walked out. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi in surprise and asked in confusion, ¡°You¡¯re not going to buy one?¡± After negotiating the price for half a day, Dong Xi actually did not want to buy it. When they first came in, it could be seen that Dong Xi was also very tempted. Although Dong Xi really wanted to buy it, there were other uses for spirit stones, so she could only say, ¡°No, I¡¯m going to use spirit stones to buy Fasting Pills.¡± Ke Xin fell silent. They were both new disciples, but Dong Xi was working so hard. That was a little too much, right? In fact, Dong Xi also wanted a jade slip very much, but Fasting Pills were more important. If she bought more Fasting Pills, she rece the time spent for eating with cultivation. She would be able to cultivate to the second level of Qi Refinement a little earlier, and he could take on some missions outside the sect. Ke Xin looked at themunication jade slip that she had just bought and instantly felt that it was not good anymore. She put away the jade slip and thought about how they were still young and that cultivation had to be done step by step. However, if they did not listen to the gossip in time, they would not be able to pass. Furthermore, Ke Xin¡¯s father had given her about seven or eight spirit stones when she left home. Ke Xin suddenly missed her father. She wondered how he was doing. If there were suitable Fasting Pillster, she would definitely buy some. The two of them walked out of the shop and saw many small stalls on the side of the road. Some of them were even stalls set up by sect disciples. Dong Xi and the other man had never seen much of the world, so they were curious about everything they saw along the way. There were talking dolls, Immortal swords, cultivation techniques, and even medicinal pills. There was everything here. Dong Xi finally stopped in front of a stall selling medicinal pills. The stall was not very big, and they only had a few porcin bottles and a sign. The sign said ¡®self-produced and self-sold¡¯. The price was not expensive. Dong Xi did not waste any words and directly asked, ¡°Fasting Pill, do you have it?¡± The stall owner was wearing the uniform of the Ningtian Sect. He was also a disciple of the Ningtian Sect. When he heard the question, he raised his head and saw two young girls. They were obviously new disciples and Junior Sisters of the same sect. The stall owner replied enthusiastically, ¡°Of course. Six lower-grade spirit stones per bottle. There are ten pills in one bottle, one pill canst for two days.¡± There were also different levels of Fasting Pills. A high level fasting pill couldst for about a month. However, he did not have the ability to make such a high level Fasting Pill, and could only sell it for this price. Chapter 31 I Don¡¯t Want It Anymore Dong Xi calcted in her heart. Six spirit stones for a bottle of pills was indeed not expensive. This bottle couldst for more than half a month. In fact, it was reasonable. In that case, she would not have to go to the cafeteria for 20 days and could just concentrate on her cultivation. Dong Xi said indifferently, ¡°Can I take a look?¡± The Senior Brother who set up the stall was not stingy. In any case, these were all refined by him, so they were not very valuable to him. She just wanted to take a look, and he would not lose anything. He immediately took out a bottle of Fasting Pills and handed it to Dong Xi. ¡°Feel free to take a look. I made them myself. I guarantee there won¡¯t be any problems.¡± Dong Xi took the pill and opened the bottle to smell it. She was stunned for a moment. This smell was very familiar. Then, she thought of something and a smile appeared on her face. He closed the bottle and returned it to the stall owner. ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡± With that, Dong Xi turned around to leave. The stall owner and Ke Xin were both stunned. She had been looking like she wanted to buy it just a moment ago, but why did she give up after smelling it? What was going on? Ke Xin quickly pulled Dong Xi back and asked, ¡°Is there a problem? Why are you not buying them?¡± Dong Xi naturally would not say it out loud. Moreover, there was nothing wrong with the stall owner¡¯s pills. However, Dong Xi did not need to buy them anymore. She would go back and buy a jade slip so that she could read the rumors in the Immortal world when she had nothing to do. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for it at the moment. I¡¯d better go buy a jade slip.¡± Ke Xin was speechless. She should have just bought the jade slip, but now they had to walk back. Ke Xin looked at the Fasting Pills and thought that she should have bought a bottle. After all, Dong Xi had asked so many questions, and she felt a little guilty. ¡°Then I¡¯ll buy a bottle.¡± Ke Xin was about to take the spirit stones when she suddenly thought of how Dong Xi had haggled with the waiter when they were buying the jade slip. Then, could they discuss the matter of buying the Fasting Pill? Ke Xin said subconsciously, ¡°Can you make it a little cheaper? We¡¯re the new disciples of the alchemy sect. We don¡¯t know how to refine pills yet.¡± When the stall owner heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses. He was once also a neer. Although the sect gave him some benefits, it was not much. He would help if he could, so the stall owner said with a smile, ¡°No problem, five spirit stones will do.¡± Ke Xin immediately paid the spirit stones happily and took the Fasting Pills. At the same time, she asked her Senior Brother to leave his spirit breath on themunication jade slip she had just bought. Next time she needed to buy something, she could just look for this Senior Brother directly. Ke Xin wanted to give a few of the fasting pills to Dong Xi, but Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°No, I don¡¯t need it for the time being.¡± Ke Xin did not know what Dong Xi was thinking. She kept changing her mind. At this moment, after walking a few steps, Dong Xi saw a dusty iron sword on another stall. The patterns on the sword were very familiar to Dong Xi. She thought about how she had learned some basic sword techniques, but she did not have a suitable weapon. She should buy a suitable one. Even if she did not have to fight, it would be good even if she used it to practice basic sword techniques. ¡°How much is this iron sword?¡± The stall owner was a middle-aged man. When he saw that it was a little girl who asked the question, he immediately lost interest. Most of these little girls were from the Alchemy Sect and did not know any sword techniques at all. She was probably just asking for fun. The stall owner said casually, ¡°I found this sword in the Secret Realm. I won¡¯t sell it for less than 50 lower spiritual stones.¡± Dong Xi immediately frowned. Such a price was not something she could afford. The price was simply too high. Just as Dong Xi was about to stand up and leave, a cold male voice suddenly sounded in her mind. ¡®Buy it.¡¯ Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi also wanted to buy a lot of things, but how could she buy them? With the few spirit stones she had left? Even if the stall owner agreed to sell it, Dong Xi would not even be able to afford the teleportation array to return to the sect after buying it. Dong Xi was also in a state of despair. She picked up the iron sword and injected some spiritual energy into it, but there was no reaction at all. It was like a stone sinking into the sea. After Dong Xi tried it, she looked at the stall owner and said, ¡°Six spirit stones. Are you selling?¡± The stall ownerpletely ignored her. The asking price was 50 spirit stones, but this little girl said six spirit stones. Even if she was haggling, it was too excessive, right? Dong Xi saw that the stall owner did not say anything, so she gritted her teeth and immediately bet all her assets. ¡°Eight spirit stones, okay?¡± The stall owner immediately became a little dissatisfied. Although this iron sword was not a divine weapon, it was still something that he had worked hard to find. The price that the little girl in front of him said was too low. It was simply ridiculous. The stall owner said with his eyes wide open, ¡°You little girl, don¡¯t cause trouble here. Go y somewhere else.¡± Chapter 32 Argue Based on Reason Dong Xi had originally wanted to turn around and leave, but the stall owner¡¯s words made her extremely unhappy. Bargaining was part of business. If the stall owner could offer a price, then Dong Xi could naturally bargain. It was fine if they could not reach an agreement, but he should not say that she was here to cause trouble. That would be too much. Dong Xi had to argue with reason and make things clear. ¡°Uncle, your sword is just an ordinary iron sword. Which Immortal do you think would use such a sword as a weapon? There¡¯s no reaction even after I inject spiritual energy into it. I¡¯m already offering you a high price of eight spirit stones. If you still feel that it¡¯s not enough, I still have some gold and silver here to give you.¡± When the stall owner heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was immediately dissatisfied. Was she trying to ruin his business? Besides, this sword was not just an iron sword that was casually forged. It was really obtained after many hardships. Otherwise, it would not be sold at such a high price. He did not if this sword is an ordinary item, but he did not want to let it go for such a low price. The stall owner said unhappily, ¡°I brought this back from a small world with great difficulty. How can it be an ordinary item? You little girl, you don¡¯t know anything. Don¡¯t stand here and talk nonsense.¡± Dong Xi sneered. She had just held the iron sword in her hand and poured his spiritual Qi into it, but there was no reaction at all. ording to her experience in the Immortal world, this iron sword was an ordinary item. It was not anything good at all. She was already thinking highly of the stall owner by giving him eight spirit stones. Dong Xi had to make things clear to the stall owner today. Dong Xi argued with reason. ¡°I¡¯m spouting nonsense? This iron sword of yours doesn¡¯t have any reaction when you inject spiritual energy into it. Even I, a new disciple, can feel it. Can¡¯t you? If I were to ask you to pay 30 low-grade spiritual stones, would you be willing to do it?¡± When the stall owner heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he immediately fell into deep thought. After thinking for a moment, he confirmed that this was indeed the case. The sword had no reaction at all ever since he got it, but how could it only be an ordinary item after he had worked so hard to bring it back? The stall owner suddenly raised his head and looked at Dong Xi, his eyes filled with doubt. ¡°Since you think it¡¯s an ordinary item, why do you still want to buy it?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she knew that there was a chance that she could buy this iron sword at a low price. After all, if Dong Xi did not buy it now, no one else would buy it. Of course, she had to strike while the iron was hot and buy it. In terms of price, Dong Xi was still willing to pay eight low-rank spirit stones. After all, it was pleasing to the eye. ¡°I also practice swordsmanship, but I don¡¯t have any suitable weapons. This iron sword is more suitable. I only have eight lower spiritual stones. If you don¡¯t want to sell it, I don¡¯t want it.¡± The stall owner understood Dong Xi¡¯s words and thought about it. Many people hade to see the iron sword today, but no one had even asked about it. This girl was the first one to ask. If he did not sell it to her now, he did not know when he would be able to sell it. In the end, the stall owner had no choice but topromise. ¡°Alright, eight is fine. You can have it.¡± Dong Xi took out eight spirit stones and handed them over to the stall owner. She kept the sword in her storage bag. She nned to study the iron sword when she got back. There must be some secret behind it. Ke Xin could not understand what Dong Xi was doing. An ordinary iron sword cost eight low-grade spirit stones. Ke Xin said anxiously, ¡°What are you buying this for? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve forgotten? You¡¯re an alchemist. Even if you want to buy something, you should buy a good one. This one doesn¡¯t even have spiritual energy. You might as well buy Fasting Pills.¡± Dong Xi knew that Ke Xin was saying this for her own good, but she had already learned the sword technique and needed a weapon to practice with. However, she could not tell Ke Xin that she had learned it in the forbidden area. Although she was an alchemist, it was not a bad thing to know some sword techniques for self-defense. Dong Xi smiled at the anxious Ke Xin. ¡°I know basic sword techniques. I want to practice it well so that I have a way to defend myself when I go out in the future.¡± Ke Xin saw how calm Dong Xi was and was still very puzzled. Why would an alchemist need any self-defense techniques? As long as she became a Grandmaster Alchemist, she would have many followers who would do their best to protect her as their Master Alchemist. There would be no need for her as a Master Alchemist to risk her life to fight with others. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s happy expression, Ke Xin could not bear to say anything more. Dong Xi did not have a single spirit stone on her, nor did she buy any jade slips.?She smiled as she look at Ke Xin, saying, ¡°Sister, we¡¯re close, right? Can you lend me two spirit stones to use the teleportation array? I¡¯ll return you the spirit stones next month, alright?¡± Chapter 33 Words Can¡¯t Express My Gratitude Ke Xin sighed helplessly. Dong Xi had previously bargained at the jade slip store, so Ke Xin thought that she was very thrifty. It turned out that she had not found anything she liked. When she found something she liked, she would not spend all her money to buy it, leaving nothing for herself. Ke Xin said helplessly when she saw Dong Xi¡¯s smiling face, ¡°I really don¡¯t know what to do with you. I¡¯ll lend you four spirit stones. You should go and buy a jade slip too. It will be easier for us to contact each other in the future.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ke Xin.¡± Dong Xi was a little surprised to hear this. She did not expect Ke Xin to be so rich. Her family must have prepared some low-grade spirit stones for her before she came. She would definitely return them to Ke Xin after she received her benefits andpleted some missions next month. Dong Xi cupped her hands at Ke Xin and said gratefully, ¡°Between us Sisters, words can¡¯t express my gratitude. I¡¯ll remember this.¡± The two of them walked all the way back to the shop. Whichever white jade slip they wanted, the waiter would charge two Spirit stones as usual. However, Dong Xi felt that since the pink one cost two, the white one should be cheaper. However, two was really the limit. The waiter really did not go any lower, so he gave her a small jade hairpin. Wearing it had the function of refreshing one¡¯s mind. Only then was Dong Xi satisfied. It was just right to use to tie a bun. Now that she owed Ke Xin four spirit stones, Dong Xi was no longer in the mood to continue shopping. She and Ke Xin returned to the sect and agreed that they would send jade slips if anything happened. Only then did they return to their respective rooms and close the door. Dong Xi immediately took out a bottle of pills from her storage bag when she first entered the sect. When she took out one pill, the medicinal fragrance filled the entire room. Dong Xi sniffed hard and felt very refreshed. The smell of this pill was the same as the one sold by her Senior Brother. It was just a Fasting Pill, right? It really did not take much effort to get it. Even if Dong Xi did not know much about it, she could tell from the smell that this Fasting Pill was much better than the one sold by the Senior Brother at the gathering. On the way back, Dong Xi tried to ask Ke Xin, but she did not have such a pill in her storage bag. Could it be that the first one to arrive would get such a benefit? Dong Xi thought that she had guessed it right. She was secretly happy and rejoiced that she had not hesitated so much back then and had quicklye to report to the Alchemy Sect. Dong Xi swallowed a medicinal pill and closed her eyes to adjust her breathing. She could feel her fatigue fading away bit by bit. Dong Xi opened her eyes, her face was filled with excitement. Sure enough, this was the Fasting Pill. The Alchemy Sect was really thoughtful, even giving the first disciple such a benefit. She could just concentrate on her cultivation in the future and no longer have to waste time. Dong Xi took out the jade slip that she had bought. The waiter had said that it needed to be bound by blood. Even if it was lost, it could not be used by others. Dong Xi looked at her delicate fingers and pondered for a moment. It was not easy to cultivate. She even had to cut her finger. This really required a lot of courage. Dong Xi mentally prepared herself. When she thought of Dong Rourou¡¯s final fatal blow to her, she was still a little terrified. Since that was the case, she had to do it. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the iron sword she had just bought. She looked at her delicate fingers again and made up her mind. Gritting her teeth, she cut her finger. She was about to put down the iron sword. Just as she was about to drop her blood on the jade slip, the surface of the iron sword seemed to have broken into pieces like an eggshell. It fell off bit by bit, revealing a white jade sword. There was a groove on the body of the sword, and the blood flowed along the groove. The white jade sword seemed to be lit up, emitting bursts of red light, which was extremely dazzling. Once again, Dong Xi tried to inject spiritual energy into the sword. The white jade sword immediately turned purple, just like the spiritual Qi. When Dong Xi saw the change in the sword, she immediately became excited. No one would have thought that he could buy such a good thing with just eight low-grade spirit stones. This was just like the antiques in her previous life, buying the best thing at the lowest price. There was still some blood on the jade slip, so she could not waste it. Dong Xi quickly smeared the blood on the jade slip. After activating the jade slip, she inserted her spirit breath. This way, the jade slip would be fully activated. She could read some rumors about the Immortal world on the jade slip just like she had swiped her mobile phone in her previous life. At this time, a message appeared on the jade slip. ¡°Dong Xi, it¡¯s Ke Xin.¡± Dong Xi immediately added Ke Xin. Looking at the jade slip, Dong Xi was reminded of the messaging app on the phone in her previous life. It was not exactly the same, but it was not that different. The functions were basically the same, except that the messaging app could video call, while the jade slip could only send messages. However, it was still very convenient. It was much better than shouting to look for people, right? Chapter 34 A World-Shaking Genius Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin¡¯s message and chuckled. She remembered that when she first had a phone in her previous life, she had added friends everywhere and chatted with everyone. It was very novel. Ke Xin must be in the same state now. Just as she was about to reply to Ke Xin¡¯s message, she saw Ke Xin immediately repost a message. ¡°The young master of the Fire Xuan Bird, Chi Yan, has a spirit root value of 99. He took in Qi into his body two days after entering the Ningtian Sect, and reached the level of Qi Refinement stage in eight days. He¡¯s a world-shocking genius.¡± When Dong Xi saw this news, she was also extremely shocked. Ever since she had found out that exposing herself to moonlight was effective in cultivating, she had been cking off for the past few days. Ke Xin¡¯s news had given Dong Xi a huge blow, jolting her awake. Those with good aptitudes and family backgrounds had already worked so hard, so what right did she have to not work hard? In the inquiry section of the jade slip, messages kept popping up. Dong Xi saw that there were even bounty missions on it. Some people put up a huge reward for the heads of others, and some people wanted to buy some natural treasures. In the gossip section, there were all kinds of strange things. Some said that the concubine of an elder had an affair, and some disciples of other sects had an affair. Some also said that the Ningtian Sect had not made any moves since the people from Heaven¡¯s Will Pavilion had left. Demon Lord Su Cheng was not in the Ningtian Sect at all and the people of the Heaven¡¯s Will Pavilion should investigate it carefully. There were also many other things. Dong Xi roughly looked at it and understood that the jade slip was indeed a mystery. Unfortunately, she could not waste her time ying around. Dong Xi sent a message to Ke Xin, telling her that she was nning to go into seclusion. She also told Ke Xin to work hard and asked her not to waste her time. Finally, she put down the jade slip and looked at the small snake mark on her arm. When she was at the iron sword stall today, she was about to give up on it, but a voice suddenly rang out in her mind. Other than Ke Xin and the stall owner, the only person she could suspect was the small snake. Dong Xi asked softly, ¡°The one who spoke in my consciousness, was it you?¡± After asking, she waited for a while, but the small snake mark did not move at all. Dong Xi could not do anything either. She could not just cut off his arm, right? Dong Xi frowned. She could only helplessly lower her sleeve to cover the mark of the little snake. In any case, if she could not see it, then she could not worry. The sky gradually darkened. Dong Xi opened the window and let the moonlight shine into the room. Dong Xi then sat down and prepared to cultivate. This time, she cultivated for a whole month. During the day, she practiced her sword technique. At night, she absorbed the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth with the help of the moonlight. Living not far away was a disciple who entered the Ningtian Sect together with her. Her name was Chen Farong, who also was a little girl. Among this group of people, Chen Farong¡¯s aptitude was rtively good. She used half a month to reach the first level of Qi Refinement stage. It was also her first time seeing a house located not too far away from hers. She was secretly happy, but it did notst long before she could not be happy anymore. After reaching the first level of Qi Refinement, there was one night when Chen Farong could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She so happened to look toward the pond, and what she saw surprised her. Chen Farong saw a figure meditating and cultivating under the moonlight. It was already midnight. Even the most hardworking disciples were already on their beds, asleep. However, this person was still cultivating? Chen Farong was also very curious about who was on the other side, so she took out the jade slip and asked her friends. ¡°Does anyone know who¡¯s living by the pond? This person didn¡¯t sleep at all and is still cultivating.¡± Chen Farong did not eat Fasting Pills. Every day, when it was time for meals, she would go to the cafeteria. Every time she went out, she would see the owner of that house practicing her swordsmanship. When she came back after eating, that person would still be practicing swordsmanship. Looking at the food and spirit fruits in her hands, she suddenly lost her appetite. Chen Farong could not help butin on themunication tform on the jade slip. ¡°Oh my God, that girl is crazy. She doesn¡¯t sleep at night, and instead just cultivates. She doesn¡¯t rest during the day either, and she just practices the sword. Aren¡¯t we in the Alchemy Sect? Why is she still practicing the sword?¡± It was because of this that, in the Ningtian Sect, besides the genius Chi Yan, there was also the ¡®Queen of Seclusion¡¯, Dong Xi. No one dared to think about Chi Yan¡¯s achievements. After all, he was born with a natural talent. What he could achieve with just a breath might take a long time for the normal cultivators. However, Dong Xi was different. She was an outer disciple like them. There was not much difference in their aptitudes. Dong Xi had been cultivating so hard without any rest, so naturally, everyone could do the same. It was said that there would be a martial artspetition in half a year¡¯s time, and the top ten disciples would all receive good rewards. If an outer sect disciple could enter the top ten, such a disciple could directly be an inner sect disciple and cultivate in the inner sect in the future. Chapter 35 Seclusion Trend It should be known that the resources that inner sect disciples received were much better than outer sect disciples. If they could enter the inner sect, they would go further on the path of Immortal cultivation. Just like this, the outer sect disciples of the Ningtian Sect suddenly had a trend: If you¡¯re not dead from exhaustion, you should train hard like the Queen of Seclusion! Dong Xi had been cultivating in seclusion all this time, so she was unaware of what was happening outside. One day, after she had finished refining her Ren Meridian, the purple spiritual Qi naturally gathered. A sound came from Dong Xi¡¯s body, like a bottle stopper being pulled out. Dong Xi immediately circted her spiritual Qi and felt her body rx a little. Dong Xi immediatelyughed. She was already at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage. She took out the jade slip and looked at it. In an instant, a huge amount of unread messages appeared. These messages were all sent by Ke Xin. She sent several messages almost every day. It was like a crazy explosion as she looked at Ke Xin¡¯s messages. ¡°Dong Xi, do you want to do a few sect missions together tomorrow?¡± ¡°Are you still in closed-door cultivation? How long will it take?¡± ¡°I heard that you don¡¯t sleep every day and have been cultivating?¡± ¡°Oh my God, aren¡¯t you working too hard?¡± ¡°Sister, you¡¯re on fire now.¡± Dong Xi only understood what was going on after reading the entire message from Ke Xin. She was speechless. Dong Xi only wanted to live, not to implicate others. But thinking about it, it was not bad for everyone to be embroiled in this. Now that everyone was in the sect, there would not be any danger. However, when they went out to train, the higher their cultivation level, the less danger they would face. Dong Xi casually replied to Ke Xin¡¯s message, telling her that she hade out of seclusion. She had been in seclusion for a month and should rest. If she trained like this every day, she might suffer from Qi deviation. Proper rest was necessary. When Ke Xin saw Dong Xi¡¯s message, she immediately sat up in bed and quickly sent a message. ¡°You¡¯ve finallye out of seclusion? If you still didn¡¯te out, I would have thought that you would onlye out after you reached the Foundation Establishment stage.¡± When Dong Xi saw this message, she immediatelyughed. Although it was faster to cultivate in seclusion, it was really not a good thing to be in seclusion for a long time. Dong Xi was not an idiot. Of course, she could not be in seclusion for so long. Now that she had reached the second level of Qi Refinement, Dong Xi was very satisfied. Dong Xi replied with a smile. ¡°Of course I won¡¯t,¡± When Ke Xin saw this, she smiled. Dong Xi had sent her a message as soon as she came out of seclusion. It seemed like she cared a lot about her. Otherwise, she would not have replied to her immediately. After entering the sect and leaving her family, she only had her good friends by her side. Ke Xin felt touched when she thought of this and immediately sent a message to Dong Xi. ¡°I knew it, you miss me.¡± One had to know that in this ce, no matter what happened, one had to bear it on their own unless the two of them had a very good rtionship. This was especially true for new disciples. After leaving their families, they rarely went back unless they went down the mountain to train. However, they would not stay at home for long. Ke Xin, who had been a little touched just now, saw the next sentence that Dong Xi had sent. ¡°It¡¯s time to collect this month¡¯s welfare.¡± Ke Xin was rendered speechless. The touched emotion she had felt moments ago had instantly turned into anger as she clutched the handkerchief in her hands angrily. ¡®That ungrateful little bastard, Dong Xi. I¡¯ve been touched for nothing.¡¯ Dong Xi did not know any of this. She only knew that she was very poor right now and was in debt. She had to get her hands on the free benefits the sect was giving her and pay off her debt first. Although Ke Xin was furious, she would not go against the benefits. Although it was not much, it was better than nothing. After this year, they would have to ept missions from the sect at the spirit stones. Some of the missions had very low rewards and were very tiring. Of course, she could not miss such an opportunity. Ke Xin immediately sent a message to Dong Xi. ¡°Let¡¯s set a time and go together,¡± Dong Xi¡¯s main purpose foring out of seclusion this time was to get benefits. Of course, the sooner, the better. With the spirit stones in hand, she had to return four spirit stones to Ke Xin first. With the rest, she could save them up. When the time came, even if she left the sect, Dong Xi would be able to survive outside. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi sent a message to Ke Xin. ¡°Right now. Let¡¯s go and get the benefits.¡± When Ke Xin saw this message, she did not hesitate. She did not have anything else to do anyway, so there was nothing wrong with going to collect the benefits. She had long run out of Dust-expelling Pills, so it was a good time to collect them. It would be good for her to continue cultivating when she returned. Although the effects were not particrly obvious, it was still a little helpful. Ke Xin immediately replied to Dong Xi. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll see you at the entrance of the Points Hall.¡± Chapter 36 Are You Dong Xi? Chen Farong was originally meditating, but when she heard some movement from a house not far away, she quickly stood up and ran to the door. This was the first time Chen Farong saw Dong Xi¡¯s face. Before this, he had only watched Dong Xi¡¯s figure practicing her swordsmanship from afar. After seeing Dong Xi, Chen Farong was even more surprised. This cultivation maniac was actually a little girl? Seeing that Dong Xi was about to leave, Chen Farong immediately shouted, ¡°Please hold on, Junior Sister.¡± Dong Xi heard the voice and turned around. It was an unfamiliar girl, and there were alone here. This girl was calling for her, right? However, Dong Xi did not know this person. Could it be that this person was lost and wanted to ask for directions? Dong Xi looked at the approaching Chen Farong and could not help but ask curiously, ¡°Are you calling me?¡± Chen Farong immediately nodded. Of course I¡¯m calling you. Other than the two of us, who else is there? Moreover, for the past month, Chen Farong had been observing Dong Xi¡¯s movements almost all the time. It was only today that she saw Dong Xi¡¯s true face. Chen Farong took two quick steps and walked in front of Dong Xi to ask, ¡°You are Dong Xi?¡± When Dong Xi heard that this person knew her name, she became even more curious. Ever since she had entered the Ningtian Sect, she had rarely interacted with others. Only Ke Xin could be considered to be close to her. Furthermore, Dong Xi had never seen this person before, so how could she call out her name? Dong Xi immediately became alert and asked, ¡°You know me?¡± Chen Farong nodded. Of course, she knew Dong Xi. She was now a famous person. Moreover, this matter seemed to have happened because of her. If it was not for the fact that she could not sleep that night and grumbled a little, everyone would not have be so introverted and only knew how to cultivate. Chen Farong scratched her head in embarrassment. ¡°The news has spread throughout the Ningtian Sect. The new outer sect disciple of the Alchemy Sect, Dong Xi, has been cultivating all night without rest.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately frowned. She just wanted to live, but she did not expect things to turn out like this. Seeing Chen Farong¡¯s appearance, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Farong in disbelief. Could it be that the person in front of her was the one who spread the news about the ¡®Queen of Seclusion¡¯? Dong Xi asked curiously, ¡°You were the one who spread this?¡± Chen Farong suddenly felt embarrassed. She could not be med. It was Dong Xi who cultivated too hard. She did not sleep at night and did not rest during the day. She simply did not sleep for 24 hours. Moreover, Chen Farong did not want to spread anything at that time. She did not know why the news had spread like this. Chen Farong coughed a few times and said awkwardly, ¡°I just asked two of my friends about you. I don¡¯t know how it happened, but the rumors have spread like this.¡± After saying that, Chen Farong waited for Dong Xi¡¯s anger. However, after waiting for a moment, she found that Dong Xi was silent, and she immediately felt even more guilty. She only inquired about Dong Xi, and in the end, the rumors about the Queen of Seclusion started to spread. She was really sorry for Dong Xi. There was nothing wrong with working hard on cultivation. Chen Farong immediately lowered her head and apologized to Dong Xi. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t expect it to be like this. But, aren¡¯t you tired of cultivating like this every day?¡± Chen Farong was really curious. Of course, the first thing she had to do was to apologize. After all, it had affected Dong Xi. Then, she asked this question. Since the day she saw it, this question had been haunting Chen Farong¡¯s mind. Although she had heard of some experts going into closed-door cultivation. This was the first time a new disciple had done so. Dong Xi deliberately put on a profound expression and shook her head. ¡°You won¡¯t understand.¡± Right now, Dong Xi did not even want to say whether she was tired or not. She wished she could Ascend on the spot. Her current cultivation speed was extremely slow, and a day felt like a year to Dong Xi. When Chen Farong heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she was speechless. That¡¯s right, she really did not understand, which was why she wanted to ask. Before Chen Farong could say anything, Dong Xi said indifferently, ¡°I still have other matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll be leaving.¡± Only then did Chen Faronge back to her senses. Perhaps Dong Xi was facing a personal challenge, and it was because of this that she would cultivate so hard. This was someone else¡¯s private matter, after all, so Chen Farong did not ask too much. Seeing Dong Xi about to leave, Chen Farong immediately called out to her. When she saw Dong Xi turn around, he immediately went forward and said, ¡°Junior Sister, do you think we can trade spirit breath?¡± Dong Xi did not want to do it at first, but she remembered that they were neighbors, so she left her spiritual breath. Perhaps they could help each other if something happened in the future. One more friend meant one more path, and it would not be a bad thing for the future. After leaving the spirit breath, Dong Xi left quickly. She had promised Ke Xin to go collect her welfare. She could not let Ke Xin wait too long. Chapter 37 Do You Still Need to Ask? When Dong Xi arrived, Ke Xin had already been waiting for a long time. When she saw Ke Xin, she felt a little embarrassed. They had made an appointment, but she waste. When Ke Xin saw Dong Xi, she hurriedly went up to her. She had been hearing rumors about Dong Xi all this time. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi with a serious expression and asked seriously, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Dong Xi, what¡¯s your current cultivation level?¡± Dong Xi did not know what to say. If she told the truth, it might cause unnecessary trouble. After all, they had all entered the sect together. She was now at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage. If Ke Xin found out, would she be sad? In order to prevent Ke Xin from bing another introvert in the sect, Dong Xi decided not to tell her the truth. She answered vaguely. ¡°You already know my aptitude, so do you even need to ask what my cultivation level is?¡± Ke Xin frowned when she heard this. She understood Dong Xi¡¯s feelings. After all, if she had the same aptitude, she would probably be like this too. However, being like this was not a good thing. She needed to rest properly. She could not just focus on cultivation. It was very easy for her to go berserk. Ke Xin consoled her, ¡°Sister, listen to my advice. With this kind of talent, it¡¯s useless to just cultivate in seclusion. Perhaps that¡¯s the final level of cultivation. You¡¯d better think of a way to enter the inner sect,¡± Little did Ke Xin know that her sister was not a useless piece of trash. Ke Xin was slightly older than Dong Xi and had always felt that her younger sister was a bit timid, so she would always think for Dong Xi. In the world of cultivation, being older by a few years did not mean much, and two years was not even worth mentioning. Furthermore, Dong Xi was 18 years old before she transmigrated here. Therefore, Dong Xi could understand Ke Xin¡¯s good intentions. Ke Xin had truly treated her as a sister. Otherwise, she would not have said such things. After all, everyone wanted to enter the inner sect, but they could only reach such a high level in the outer sect. There were limited resources. Dong Xi frowned and sighed. ¡°I want to go to the inner sect too, but my aptitude is just here. It¡¯s not enough.¡± The inner sect¡¯s benefits were quite good. It was said that they received 100 spirit stones per month, which was ten times more than the outer sect¡¯s. The difference was too great. In other words, a whole year of benefits for the outer sect disciples was onlyparable to one month of benefits for the inner sect¡¯s disciples. When Ke Xin heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she immediately told Dong Xi everything she had heard recently. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t think that way. It might not have been possible in the past, but there¡¯s a chance now.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this. If she could enter the inner sect, her cultivation base would definitely improve greatly with the help of the inner sect¡¯s cultivation resources. Perhaps one of the elders would be happy and reward her with some rare treasures to change her aptitude. At that time, she would not have to worry about Dong Rourou anymore. ¡°Chance? What chance?¡± When Ke Xin heard Dong Xi¡¯s urgent question, she became very proud. Ever since she had obtained the jade slip, she had been able to find out everything about the sect. She even knew a lot of secrets, but it was not convenient for her to say them out loud. Now that she saw how hard Dong Xi was working, Ke Xin naturally would not hide the news and said it directly. ¡°I¡¯ve already asked around. It¡¯s about Lingxu, the Peak Master of the Lingxu Peak. He said that he wants to take in a closed-door disciple.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was stunned. She carefully recalled who this Master Lingxu was. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that this Master Lingxu seemed to be the master of the Eldest Senior Brother. When the time came, he would take the female lead, Dong Rourou, as his disciple. During this period of time, there was no such thing as Master Lingxu taking in a closed-door disciple. Could it be that her transmigration had caused a butterfly effect? The plot of the entire book had changed? However, even if there¡¯s a change, Dong Xi still did not think that her aptitude was enough to catch Master Lingxu¡¯s eye, let alone be his closed-door disciple. Dong Xi said to Ke Xin with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have the qualifications.¡± Although cultivation was indeed fast under the moonlight, the speed during the day was even slower than a snail. Other people would recover even as they were fighting, but when Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi was used up... Well, she was finished. It was impossible for her to recover as fast aspared to others. If she lost a fight, she could not possibly tell her opponents that her master was Master Lingxu, and therefore they could not kill her, alright? What a joke, the Xianxia world was ruthless and did not care about human feelings. Even Master Lingxu could not afford to lose face like that, right? Chapter 38 Don¡¯t Forget Me When You¡¯re Rich Ke Xin shook her head when she heard Dong Xi¡¯s words. Although her aptitude was a littlecking, she could not belittle herself like that. What if she passed the test? Moreover, Elder Lingxu was an elder of the Alchemy Sect¡¯s inner sect. Naturally, he would prefer the Alchemy Sect¡¯s disciples. That way, the sess rate would be higher. Ke Xin said to Dong Xi with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ll only know if it works if you try. Moreover, Master Lingxu is also an alchemist. He would naturally prefer spirit roots like ours.¡± As Ke Xin spoke, she looked around to see if there was anyone around. This was because she had expended a lot of effort to obtain the next piece of news, so she could not let anyone hear it easily. This matter was very important to the two of them. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Ke Xin leaned close to Dong Xi¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°My Good Sister, I¡¯ve asked around. Master Lingxu has a pill that can cleanse the marrow. If you take it, it can increase your spirit root value. I¡¯m going to try, and you¡¯re going too. Even if I lose to you, I¡¯ll be happy.¡± Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin¡¯s high-spirited expression, as if they were the ones who were going to be recruited as the closed-door disciple. It was impossible for them to be the only ones who knew about such a big matter. Some of the more capable disciples would know about it as well. When the time came, thepetition would not be so simple. Dong Xi could not help but remind her. ¡°Sister, we¡¯re not the only disciples of the Ningtian Sect. There are so many Senior Brothers and Sisters. We shouldn¡¯t be too optimistic.¡± Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi frowning and found her extremely adorable. Dong Xi knew about this as well, but she had to give it a try since she had the chance. What if she was selected? Even if she lost, it was a good thing. She would still be able to see see the world and train herself. It was better than going into seclusion alone. Ke Xin said with a smile as she looked at Dong Xi, ¡°I know, but there aren¡¯t many opportunities like this. I have to try. What if he has taken a fancy to us? My Good Sister, if you enter the inner sect, don¡¯t forget about me.¡± Dong Xi sighed inwardly. Even if she really did be Elder Lingxu¡¯s disciples, she would not have given them such a precious Marrow-cleansing Pill. Although Ke Xin had said that the probability of this happening was small, there was still a tiny bit of hope. Even if she could not obtain the Marrow-cleansing Pill, she would still get other resources if she became Elder Lingxu¡¯s disciple. By then, even if Dong Rourou entered the Dao through martial arts, she would still have the protection of her Master. The sect would not have an easy time expelling Dong Xi out of the sect. Thinking of this, Dong Xi¡¯s blood instantly boiled. In life, one must always take a gamble. If she seeded, she could profit handsomely. If she had to work hard, she would work hard. The rest could only depend on heaven¡¯s will. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi with excitement. She knew that there would be no problem. After all, this was a rare opportunity. It was also the fastest way for an outer sect disciple to enter the inner sect. Moreover, there was a chance to get such a powerful Master. Dong Xi moved closer to Ke Xin and looked around mysteriously, ¡°Then how does he choose his disciples? It can¡¯t be as simple as just looking at one¡¯s aptitude and cultivation, right?¡± If they only looked at talent and cultivation, then there was no need to select from the entire sect. They could just choose from the top disciples in the inner sect. It would save them a lot of trouble. Ke Xin¡¯s face immediately showed a smug expression. Ke Xin had also asked around and found out about this matter. She said proudly, ¡°You¡¯ve asked the right person. Others might not know, but I¡¯ve found out.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this. As expected of Ke Xin. Not only was she familiar with the sect, but she was also very good at gathering information. She had only been in the sect for two months, but she knew everything. There was nothing that Ke Xin did not know. Dong Xi¡¯s expression of eagerness to hear the details gave Ke Xin a thrill, and she began to exin the rules of the selection in detail. Elder Lingxu was a seventh-grade alchemist, not far from the eighth-grade. He was also very famous in the Xianxia world. This time, the main purpose of recruiting disciples was to find someone to inherit his legacy. Therefore, the first test will be to understand the attributes of the medicinal herbs, as well as how to deal with the unexpected situations that urred when various medicinal herbs were mixed. There was a hard rule in the qualification, which was that one must have fire and wood spirit roots. Cultivation level was not important. Even if one had a low cultivation level now, it did not matter. Anyway, the cultivation level would rise in the future. There were no other special requirements. Therefore, this was really an opportunity for outer sect disciples. If they missed it, they might not get another che. Chapter 39 Pressed for Time After listening to Ke Xin¡¯s exnation of the rules, Dong Xi finally understood what was going on. If she was not mistaken, the disciple that Elder Lingxu was looking for was one with a good foundation and could refine pills immediately. In Dong Xi¡¯s previous life, she had just taken the college entrance examination and was good at rote memorization. Dong Xi immediately felt more confident. It was just the attributes of medicinal herbs, there was no problem at all. ¡°When does the test start? How much time do we have to prepare?¡± There was nothing to hide. This would bemon knowledge very soon anyway. Besides, if Dong Xi were to enter the inner sect, she would definitely not forget about her. If she were to enter the inner sect, she would also not forget Dong Xi. The two of them would help each other and grow together. ¡°There are still three and a half months.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was slightly stunned. It was quick. Time was tight, but it was enough. The two of them went to collect this month¡¯s benefits. Dong Xi immediately returned the four spirit stones she owed Ke Xin and brought her to the sect¡¯s Library Pavilion. As long as the disciples reached the first level of Qi Refinement, they could read and borrow books in the Library Pavilion. The Alchemy Sect¡¯s Library Pavilion had nock of books about medicinal herbs. At first, Ke Xin did not know where Dong Xi was pulling her to. However, when she got a clear idea of the direction, she was a little surprised. They should be going back to cultivate or doing something else, right? Why were they walking here? Moreover, it seemed that the two of them could not get in, right? They would be beaten up if they forced their way in. Ke Xin said nervously, ¡°D-D-Dong Xi, what are we going to the Library Pavilion for? We can¡¯t get in.¡± Dong Xi did not stop even after Ke Xin said that. Ke Xin immediately had a guess. Could it be that Dong Xi had already broken through given how confident she was? This was too fast. Was closed-door cultivation really that useful? When I return, I¡¯m going to go into seclusion and break through as soon as possible. Ke Xin asked exaggeratedly as she looked at Dong Xi, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve already reached the first level of the Qi Refinement stage?¡± At this moment, Dong Xi let go of Ke Xin¡¯s hand. She tidied up her clothes and nodded very calmly. Ke Xin¡¯s eyes widened in shock. Dong Xi had really reached the first level of Qi Refinement. Their aptitudes were about the same. She had only guided Qi into her body, and now she was already at the first level of Qi Refinement? Ke Xin had the thought of getting to the bottom of things and immediately said, ¡°How did you do it so quickly? You¡¯re too fast. Only those geniuses are this fast, right?¡± Dong Xi shrugged her shoulders. There was nothing to hide. Besides, geniuses were better than this. Chi Yan from the inner sect had reached the second level in eight days. That was a godly speed. Dong Xi¡¯s speed was nothingpared to Chi Yan¡¯s. In a race, she could not even see the backlights of his car. Dong Xi said in a very t tone, ¡°Sister, we¡¯re on the same side, there¡¯s no need to lie. Chi Yan from the inner sect reached the second level in eight days. I didn¡¯t sleep for a whole month to reach this level. Inparison, my speed is like that of a snail.¡± Ke Xin fell silent at the mention of Chi Yan. Some people were born as geniuses, while others could only hear the legends of geniuses. Perhaps in a few years, those with poor aptitudes like her would not even be able to hear the legends of Chi Yan. Chi Yan might have already Ascended, so there would naturally be no more legends. Dong Xi said indifferently, ¡°Come, let¡¯s go in and take out two books of information.¡± Ke Xin was suddenly embarrassed. In the past month, she had not studied. Instead, she had been eating melon seeds and gossiping with others on the jade slip when she had nothing to do. She had not put much effort into her cultivation. Otherwise, she would not have been so behind in cultivation, and still stuck before the first level of Qi Refinement. Ke Xin lowered her head and said to Dong Xi in embarrassment, ¡°I-I haven¡¯t reached the first level of the Qi Refinement stage. I can¡¯t go in.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she could naturally guess what Ke Xin had been doing over the past month. Everyone had their own way of living, and there was nothing she could do about it. Since Dong Xi had received news from Ke Xin, she naturally had to repay her. Moreover, Ke Xin treated her so well. Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin with a natural expression as she spoke calmly. ¡°It¡¯s okay, wait for me. I¡¯ll go in and get one for you.¡± Ke Xinughed when she heard this. They were really good sisters. She was still helping her at a time like this. If it were someone else, they would probably only mock her ruthlessly. Why would they help her get some reference materials? Ke Xin did not have to worry about anything now. Dong Xi definitely would not take a random book to prank her. Ke Xin said gratefully, ¡°Then I shall ept. Words can¡¯t express my gratitude for your great kindness.¡± Chapter 40 Library Pavilion Dong Xi did not need Ke Xin¡¯s gratitude at all. This was very normal. They had agreed to help each other, after all. Dong Xi walked straight to the Library Pavilion. When she passed the door, a faint light swept across her body. Then, Dong Xi entered the library Pavilion. The process was smooth and natural, without any obstruction. Ke Xin watched Dong Xi enter, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little mncholic. In terms of talent, Ke Xin was slightly better than Dong Xi. However, Dong Xi had used only a month to reach the first level of Qi Refinement. It had to be said that Dong Xi had really given it her all. Previously, Dong Xi had cultivated without rest and sleep. Everyone in the entire Ningtian Sect knew about this and many people had been forced to follow her path of seclusion. However, only she herself knew if she had really cultivated seriously. For example, Ke Xin also cultivated day and night, but she knew very well that she spent most of her time every day eating melon seeds, gossiping, and doing other misceneous things. If she had really worked hard, it would be impossible for her to not enter the Library Pavilion at this time. Now, she could not enter the Library Pavilion. Next time, the same might happen with the inner sect if she did not change. Dong Xi did not know that he had unintentionally given Ke Xin so much pressure. After entering the library several times, Dong Xi went straight to the medicinal herbs section. After careful selection, she finally chose two books. One was the ¡®Practical Record of Immortal Cultivation Medicinal Herbs¡¯ and the other was the ¡®Complete Collection of Medicinal Herbs¡¯. However, just as she was about to borrow two books, the Senior Sister in charge of the Library Pavilion told Dong Xi that each disciple could only borrow one book at a time. Dong Xi thought about it carefully and finally chose Practical Record of Immortal Cultivation Medicinal Herbs. There was no other reason other than the fact that this book was full of pictures and texts. When the time came, not only would she remember the name, but she would also know what the medicinal herb looked like. Dong Xi walked out with the copied jade slip and immediately exined when she Saw Ke Xin waiting outside. ¡°Let¡¯s go buy some brush and paper. Each person can only choose one book at a time. I¡¯ll make a copy for you when I get back.¡± At first, Ke Xin had been a little worried when she saw that Dong Xi only had a jade slip in her hand. However, after hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Ke Xin understood. After all, they were all outer sect disciples, unlike inner sect geniuses who had so many special privileges. It was better to go back and copy a jade slip than nothing. Ke Xin immediately smiled at Dong Xi. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pay for the brush and paper myself.¡± Dong Xiughed when she heard this. She was really poor now and wanted to save up more spirit stones so that even if she was forced to leave the sect in the future, she could still survive. If Ke Xin had not said anything, Dong Xi would not have cared about such a small amount of money. Dong Xi also knew that Ke Xin did not want to be looked down upon, so Dong Xi jokingly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t fight with you. I¡¯m very poor now.¡± All the things in the sect had to be exchanged at the Points Hall. Dong Xi and Ke Xin went to the Points Hall to make a fuss. Both of them thought that ordinary paper was enough to copy a book. They did not need to buy anything good. One Spirit stone could be exchanged for a lot of ordinary paper. Ke Xin was about to buy more when she heard Dong Xi ask, ¡°Senior Sister Wang Ying, I would like to ask, can gold and silver be exchanged for ordinary paper?¡± In the world of cultivators, gold and silver were of no use. In the world of cultivators, everything was bought with spirit stones. Dong Xi was just asking casually. After all, she still had gold and silver in her hands, and they were of no use to her. It would be best if they could be exchanged, but if they could not, then so be it. However, she did not expect Wang Ying to tell them that they could be exchanged. ¡°The sect¡¯s disciples have to go to the mortal world to gain experience, it can help to temper their mental state. Therefore, the disciples who enter the mortal world wille here to exchange for some gold and silver before they leave. But those aren¡¯t worth many points, so you won¡¯t be able to buy much.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she did not care too much. Ordinary gold and silver were useless. She would exchange them for as much as she could. It was a waste of space to carry them on her. It was better to exchange them with spirit stones. This was a good thing, right? Dong Xi said as he took out two pieces of gold from his storage bag and handed them to Wang Ying. ¡°Senior Sister, how much can I get for these?¡± Wang Ying took out two stacks of paper and a weasel hair brush and gave them to Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at the paper and brush in her hand and felt that it was quite a lot. She was very satisfied. Anyway, there was no use keeping these things. When she went out to gain experience in the future, she coulde back and exchange them for gold and silver. Dong Xi licked her lips and took out a jade pendant that her original body had brought from the mortal world. ¡°Senior Sister, can you help me take a look again? can this thing be exchanged for some points?¡± Chapter 41 - You Don’t Want to Do It Anymore?

Chapter 41: You Don¡¯t Want to Do It Anymore?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

The original body had brought this from the mortal world, so it might be a symbol of identity. In the original body¡¯s memories, Dong Xi did not find any memories of the jade pendant. Wang Ying picked up the jade pendant, formed a hand seal, and inspected it. Suddenly, she smelled it. ¡°Junior Sister, although there¡¯s less spiritual Qi in this, it¡¯s still a spirit item. Are you really going to exchange it for points?¡± Dong Xi looked at the ordinary-looking jade pendant in her hand and was a little surprised. This was brought from the mortal world by her original body, and it actually had spiritual energy? Dong Xi could feel Madam Dong¡¯s painstaking efforts. Whether it was sending her daughter to cultivate or giving her those gold, silver, and jade pendants, she had already done everything she could. However, she did not know that Dong Rourou had eventually entered the Dao through martial arts, and all her schemes could notpare to fate. Dong Xi frowned and thought for a moment before shaking her head and saying, ¡°Then I won¡¯t change it for points, I¡¯ll keep it.¡± In her previous life, she was an orphan and grew up in a welfare home. She had never felt such warm motherly love. In this regard, she was very envious of her original body. Wang Ying smiled and ced the jade pendant in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. She said indifferently, ¡°You¡¯re all newbies, so it¡¯s good that you have spirit items. When your cultivation level increases, you can rece them.¡± Dong Xi said her thanks and put the jade pendant back into her storage pouch. Ke Xin was a little envious, but when she thought about the spirit stones her father had secretly given her, she felt that even though it was not much. It was still a show of her father¡¯s love. Dong Xi had agreed with her that she would copy out the contents within two days, and the two of them would go their separate ways. After returning to his residence, Dong Xi took out the jade pendant once more. The design of the jade pendant was very simple, like a cloud that was casually carved by a craftsman. He tried to inject some spiritual Qi into the jade pendant, but it was useless. The jade pendant still looked simple. Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then picked up the iron sword ¡ª no, the white jade sword ¡ª that she had bought, and cut a wound on her hand. She dripped the blood onto the jade pendant and was delighted to see the jade pendant absorbing the blood. Everyone in the cultivation world knew that as long as it could be bound by blood, it would be a good treasure. Even if it was not the work of an Immortal, it still had an important inheritance. Dong Xi closed her eyes. Slowly, she felt a connection between her heart and the jade pendant. With a thought, she directly entered the jade pendant. The jade pendant seemed to be a storage space. The entire space was only about three or four square meters, the size of a bathroom. It was not empty. There were two boxes in the corner, but she could not see what they were made of. Dong Xi opened the box and saw that all the things inside were jade slips. She picked one up and read the words ¡®Analysis of Alchemy¡¯ on it. Dong Xi¡¯s brows furrowed as she excitedly picked up the other book, ¡®Insights into the Fusion of Medicinal Herbs¡¯. Then, she picked them up and looked at them. ¡®Mind Division Technique¡¯, ¡®A Summary of Furnace Explosion Experience¡¯, ¡®On the Feasibility of a Waste¡¯s Counterattack¡¯¡­ Dong Xi read one book after another, and slowly realized that she had just seen a good treasure. She immediately threw away all the other Jade slips in his hand and just picked up the ¡®On the Feasibility of a Waste¡¯s Counterattack¡¯. Wasn¡¯t this tailor-made? She did not want to admit that she was a waste, or a good-for-nothing, but she really wanted to make aeback. She ced the Jade slip on her forehead and used an hour to digest the contents of the book before she finally understood the contents of the jade slip. Fundamentally speaking, humans were the race most pitied by the heavens. They were born with spirit roots, which allowed them to cultivate andprehend the Dao. And before those demon beasts transformed, it was almost impossible for them toprehend Dao. The final Ascension was also thousands of times more difficult than that of the human race. The only thing that humans could notpete with demon beasts was that their bodies were too fragile. Their defense was basically dependent on equipment. If one could temper their body like a treasured weapon, they would be like a demon beast with a strong body and soul. They would first refine the outer body, then refine the inner body. In the future, even if the spiritual energy in her body was exhausted, she could still use her fists to kill her way out. Dong Xi nodded. It just so happened that her spiritual roots were very weak, so body cultivation would be a very good path. However, it was mentioned in the jade slip that if one wanted to temper their body, there must be a hard condition. First, to temper one¡¯s body with this version, one must have a fire spiritual root. Dong Xi could not help but feel a little excited. Fire spirit root! She just happened to have one! As she continued to read, the jade slip exined in detail the body tempering method. Find a ce with a rich fire attribute, use the heaven and earth as a furnace, and use the fire spirit root as a guide to temper the body. Dong Xi read this and panicked. How was this tempering? This was basically setting herself on fire, right? Thinking about how she had been sshed with hot oil and had been in pain for a long time, she could not help but shiver. However, when she thought of the word ¡®counterattack¡¯, she braced himself and continued to read. This was the best way. Chapter 42 - Do You Want to Practice?

Chapter 42: Do You Want to Practice?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Ordinary mortals would not be able to adapt to this kind of rich fire spiritual energy. Therefore, to cultivate this technique, one must have the foundation of body tempering, and with the support of a piece of shattered ice from the Heavenly Lake, and choose the ce of tempering ording to one¡¯s own condition. Only by doing it step by step could one reach the extreme. Furthermore, this cultivation technique was extremely dangerous. The pain of tempering was like ten thousand arrows piercing through the heart. The slightest problem would result in self-destruction, no different from suicide. The author left this technique behind before he Ascended to remind the people of the future that nothing is difficult in this world as long as they are willing to give up. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± In fact, how much pain could she be in? She had never tried to be pierced by ten thousand arrows, but she could clearly remember the pain of being pierced by a sword. Since the jade slip had said so, should she still practice? A ce with abundant fire spiritual energy? Should she find a hot spring to try first? If it did not work, they could stop losses in time. But what was the Heavenly Lake ice shards? Where could she find it? Dong Xi had a confused look on her face. She had never heard of this before. She could only exit the jade slip helplessly, pick up themunication jade slip, and send an anonymous message. [Looking to purchase the Heavenly Lake ice fragment at a high price. Please contact me if you have any information.] After finishing everything, she put away the jade slips, ate a Fasting Pill, picked up the paper and pen she had bought, and nned to copy it in two days. However, Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts were too naive. ording to the speed of the past, three days was enough to copy a copy. However, in the cultivation world, they used writing brushes. She did not know how to use a writing brush at all. Dong Xi picked up the brush and wrote a line of words, remaining silent. Forget it, the original body was not that old anyway, so it did not matter if the words were ugly. It should be much better after she finished copying this book. She had been copying for three days without any rest. She was just too tired and meditated for a short break. After she finished copying, she had a simple understanding of the medicinal herbs in the Immortal cultivation world. The ancients did not lie to me. A good memory is better than a bad pen. On the morning of the fourth day, she took the copied book to Ke Xin¡¯s ce. Ke Xin had finished her training early and was waiting for news from Dong Xi in the room. When she heard the news of the door opening from the jade slip, he jumped up from her chair in excitement and immediately ran to open the door. Dong Xi walked in with a thick stack of paper in her arms. Ke Xin was stunned when she saw the paper in her hands. Ke Xin asked, ¡°So much? You haven¡¯t rested these past few days?¡± Dong Xiughed coldly and ced the papers on the table, then turned to Ke Xin.¡±Sister, wake up. There¡¯s less than three months left, how can you rest? Do you want to enter the inner sect?¡± Ke Xin swallowed back the words she wanted to say. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll look at it immediately.¡± Ke Xin picked up the paper as she spoke. The moment she saw it, her eyes twitched. ¡°Did you copy all of them by yourself?¡± Dong Xi knew what she meant and said first, ¡°Although my handwriting is a little ugly, it doesn¡¯t affect your studies. Yao said that my handwriting is ugly. You can copy it again.¡± After saying that, she waved her hand and prepared to leave. ¡°I¡¯m pressed for time, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Before Ke Xin could finish her sentence, she had already walked out. Ke Xin opened her mouth and frowned. She had not even properly shared the news that she had reached the first level of the Qi Refinement stage, and Dong Xi had already run away. This girl was really silly. Everyone had 24 hours a day, but this girl was always busier than everyone else. Dong Xi was indeed very busy. As she walked, she picked up the jade slip to check the news that was released three days ago. Sure enough, she was not disappointed. She received three messages. She clicked on one of them and a lively voice appeared. ¡°If you want to buy information,e to the Tiansha Pavilion! The news from the Tiansha Pavilion is urate! The price is affordable! It is not a scam, and you won¡¯t suffer any losses.¡± Really, no matter what world it was, she could not escape the fate of being harassed by advertisements. Then, she clicked on the second message. It was the same voice. ¡°At the age of 100, you know astronomy from above and geography from below! Are you still worried about not getting the information you want? I¡¯ll give you a hundred-year-old bun to your satisfaction!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the third message, Dong Xi no longer had any hope. It was probably an advertisement, but she still opened it to listen. A low voice came from it. ¡°How much is it?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s hand, which was about to close, stopped in mid-air. She coughed and replied, ¡°Maybe¡­ You¡¯ll get the friendship of an alchemist?¡± She only had a few low-grade spirit stones, two bottles of the cheapest pills, and a spirit fruit left. How could she possibly afford the price? She was afraid that if she said it out loud, that person would immediately block her. Perhaps¡­ She could say random worlds to fool an honest person. When she sent this message, there was already no hope, but she did not expect the other party to reply so quickly. Chapter 43 - Mess

Chapter 43: Mess

¡°I¡¯m Mo Han from Destiny Valley. May I know your name?¡± Mo Han asked. ¡°Dong Xi,¡± ¡­ Dong Xi waited for a moment, and themunication jade slip lit up again. She hurriedly picked it up and read it, only to hear Mo Han¡¯s stiff voice. ¡°The ice fragment of the Heavenly Lake is an extremely cold object. Legend has it that there is a Heavenly Lake on a high mountain in the East of the East Continent.¡± Dong Xi did not expect him to reveal the information directly. However, the Heavenly Lake was so far away, and it was a high mountain. How was she going to find the shattered ice of the Heavenly Lake? On the other side, Mo Han put down the jade slip and put away the turtle shell on the table. He thought that his Junior Sister had walked in from outside. When she saw his actions, she asked in surprise, ¡°Senior Brother, is this a divination?¡± Mo Han silently put away themunication jade slip and nodded. Lu Xiaoxin rushed forward and asked curiously, ¡°Senior brother, who did you do this for? What about the divination?¡± Mo Han looked up at her, his eyes full of coldness. Lu Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, then she heard the man in front of her say, ¡°Heaven¡¯s secrets can not be revealed.¡± Lu Xiaoxin bit her lips and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, can you help me with a divination? Let¡¯s see if my rtionship is smooth?¡± Mo Han refused. there¡¯s only one divination every month. It¡¯s the rule. Lu Xiaoxin stomped her feet and turned around to leave angrily. ¡°I¡¯m not talking to you anymore!¡± Mo Han did not care what she was like. His mind was filled with the divination just now. He had entered Destiny Valley at the age of seven and had performed many divinations in the past 200 years, but he had never seen such a strange divination. This Dong Xi... The divination clearly said she would have a short life, but it also showed that she would have great achievements in the future? Could it be that she became a ghost cultivator in the end? It was because of this divination that he decided to do her a favor. Perhaps in the future... He would really be able to gain the friendship of an alchemist. This was fate. If she was really powerful, wouldn¡¯t he be saved too? Mo Han clenched his fist and coughed twice. His ck eyes slowly dissipated and merged with the white of his eyes, turning into a gray-white color. With Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation, the sect would not allow her to leave the mountain. Even if she did, she would not be able to find the Heavenly Lake. ording to the priority, the most important thing was to be elder Lingxu¡¯s disciple and be an inner sect disciple. Dong Xi made a n for herself. It was useless to just memorize books. Many medicinal herbs looked very simr. No matter how well she memorized the books, she would not be able to apply what he learned. Once again, she went to the Points Hall to collect her pharmacy¡¯s mission. Every day, the pharmacy would have arge number of medicinal herbs shipped over. These medicinal herbs needed to be sorted, and the pharmacy manager could not get enough. He might as well post tasks at the Points Hall and use a small number of points to exchange forbor. It just so happened that Dong Xi needed a job like this where he could personallye into contact with medicinal herbs, so she immediately received the ten-day task. When she arrived at the pharmacy, a batch of fresh medicinal herbs had just arrived. Steward Ma Youcai was currently busy. When he saw Dong Xi, he asked for the purpose of his visit and wrinkled his mantou in dissatisfaction. ¡°The people of the sect have gone missing? Why did you let a little girle and fool me?¡± ¡°Uncle-Master,¡± said Dong Xi immediately, ¡°I epted the mission myself. Although I¡¯m young, I have no problem doing the work.¡± With a fawning smile on his face, Dong Xi took out the remaining Immortal Fruits from her storage bag and offered them with both hands, ¡°Martial Uncle, please let me stay. I promise I¡¯ll learn quickly and won¡¯t cause you any trouble.¡± Ma Youcai looked at the fruit and recognized it at a nce. ¡°This was nted by Liang Yan. How dare you take it off? Ha, little girl, you¡¯re so bold.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, he did not know whether to keep it or not. Ma Youcai finally took it. ¡°I¡¯ll keep the fruits. Now, go and divide the Shengluo Flowers at the door ording to their grades. That¡¯s all. We¡¯ll do the rest tomorrow. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes instantly curved into crescents. ¡°Thank you, Martial Uncle! Disciple will immediately go!¡± Seeing Dong Xi enter, Ma Youcai looked at the fruit in his hand and chuckled. This girl actually dared to pick Liang Yan¡¯s fruit. If he ced the fruit in her hands and gave it away, she would probably get into trouble. When Dong Xi entered the room, he saw the flowers that the Martial Uncle had mentioned... They were piled up together and almost reached the roof. It was really life-threatening to be distributed within a day. She looked at the three storage bags on the side and picked up three flowers with both hands. She converted her spiritual Qi into wood element and inserted it into the Shengluo Flower to feel the difference between the three flowers. Opening her eyes, she was shocked and put it into her storage bag. She picked up a few more flowers and used her spiritual energy to feel what was different. After thinking for a moment, she put one flower into the middle storage bag. Dong Xi needed a minute to identify each flower. At this rate, a day would not be enough for her topletely identify all the flowers. Chapter 44 - Isn’t It Too Obvious?

Chapter 44: Isn¡¯t It Too Obvious?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Ma Youcai kept the other medicinal herbs and entered the room. When he saw that there were not many Shengluo Flowers. Even though he was mentally prepared, he could not help but widen his eyes. ¡°Little girl, aren¡¯t you being too obvious?¡± Dong Xi was a little embarrassed and said with a smile, ¡°Why don¡¯t you first see if I¡¯ve distributed it correctly?¡± Only then did Ma Youcai walk forward and pick up the three storage bags to inspect them. Dong Xi looked at him nervously until Ma Youcai withdrew his divine sense and threw the storage bag to the side. ¡°You got it right, but it¡¯s too slow.¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and bit her lip, putting on a pitiful expression. ¡°Junior Master, I¡¯ve only just started. It¡¯s good that I didn¡¯t make any mistakes. When I get used to it, I¡¯ll be able to do it very quickly,¡± Ma Youcai was startled. He looked at her and said very seriously, ¡°The sect doesn¡¯t feed idlers, and the pharmacy points aren¡¯t for nothing. Since you¡¯re a new disciple, I¡¯ll give you three days to process these herbs. If you can¡¯t finish in three days, you can get lost as soon as possible! Don¡¯t make me angry!¡± Hearing him say this, Dong Xi¡¯s heart calmed down slightly. She definitely could not finish it in one day. If it was three days, she could still do it. Dong Xi cupped her fists gratefully at Ma Youcai. ¡°Thank you, Martial Uncle. Disciple will definitely work hard! You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± When Ma Youcai heard her say this, he immediatelyughed. ¡°It¡¯s not important if I don¡¯t worry about it. If you can¡¯t finish it in three days, you won¡¯t be able to get any sect points. You¡¯ll be very disappointed.¡± After saying that, he waved his sleeve and kept half of the Shengluo Flowers. ¡°Sort out these first.¡± Dong Xi saw him do this and knew that this Martial Uncle had a sharp mouth but a soft heart. ¡°Thank you, Martial Uncle!¡± She said with a smile. ¡°This disciple will definitely work hard!¡± Ma Youcai¡¯s serious expression almost could not be contained. He tried his best to maintain the image of a Martial Uncle. He nodded his head coldly and turned to leave. Dong Xi watched him leave and immediately continued sorting. This kind of work required practice to make it perfect. Dong Xi slowly familiarized herself with it, and could even detect more medicinal ingredients at a time, and then pick out the ones with basically the same attributes. It greatly improved her work efficiency, and at the same time, she found that she was more skilled in using her spiritual power. If the control of spiritual Qi was a skill before, it had now be an instinct. She could divide her spiritual Qi into more than ten streams and detect more medicinal herbs at the same time. Dong Xi sat cross-legged on the futon, controlling her spiritual Qi to examine the medicinal herbs, and his speed gradually increased. At night, Ma Youcai wanted to take advantage of the little girl¡¯s rest to help select some, but he did not expect that the lights in the house were always on. He was very surprised. He used his divine senses to investigate and found the little girl, Dong Xi, on the futon. She seemed to be meditating, but her movements were very neat and her control of spiritual essence was good. She only had half of the Shengluo Flowers in front of her. She would be able to finish them by dawn. Ma Youcai put his hands behind his back and smiled in relief. Some of the new disciples who had just entered the sect were rtively young and simply could not bear such hardships. This girl looked weak, but she was not afraid of suffering at all, nor did shein that she was tired. With such a determined personality, she would walk on the path of Immortal cultivation for a very long time in the future. Dong Xi had spent an entire night screening in the house, and her spiritual Qi had been exhausted along the way, but she had still taken two medicinal pills. By the time she put thest Shengluo Flower into her storage bag, it was already dawn. She stood up and stretched her back, rubbing her sore neck. Just then, she saw Ma Youcaie in from outside. Dong Xi immediately cupped her fists and saluted, saying seriously, ¡°Uncle-Master, I¡¯ve finished sorting!¡± Ma Youcai did not say anything. He walked over directly and checked the three storage bags. He realized that although she moved very quickly, she did not make any mistakes. He was very satisfied in his heart, but his face was still very serious. He said indifferently, ¡°This is just the beginning. Today, you will go and get the herbs and divide the materials for the Spirit Restore Pill. For those above the second level of Qi Refinement, each person will get ten portions.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this, as if she had found an opportunity to fleece. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Martial Uncle, as long as they are at the second level of Qi refining, it¡¯s okay? These ten refined pills, do they all belong to this disciple?¡± Ma Youcai naturally knew what she was thinking and chuckled. ¡°You little girl, you¡¯re still so young, but you¡¯re still dreaming. After these pills are refined, I¡¯ll keep 30 percent and hand over the rest.¡± 30 percent? 30 percent was not bad! This was free! ¡°Martial Uncle, can I get it?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. Ma Youcai was stunned and immediately used his divine sense to probe Dong Xi. This little girl should have just entered the sect. If she was really at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage, then she was a genius! How could such a genius be in the outer sect? Reality gave him a heavy blow, and he was a little shocked. This little girl was actually already at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage? Chapter 45 - Learning Alchemy

¡°What is your aptitude?¡± Ma Youcai asked. Dong Xi immediately replied, ¡°Fire, wood, earth spirit root, root value 71, 56, 48.¡± Ma Youcai furrowed his brows. your aptitude is average. How did you cultivate to the second level of the Qi Refinement stage in such a short time? ¡± Of course, Dong Xi would not tell the truth. She only shook her head with a nk expression. ¡°Martial Uncle, this disciple doesn¡¯t know either. That day, this disciple was meditating when I suddenly entered a state. When I woke up, I was already at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage.¡± When Ma Youcai heard this, he thought that it was only reasonable to have an Epiphany. He epted this exnation and said indifferently, ¡°You¡¯re quite lucky. Since you¡¯re already at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage, you can receive it. However, you haven¡¯t refined pills yet. Go to the Cultivation Technique Hall and learn how to receive it.¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded, her face filled with joy. In any case, these were the sect¡¯s herbs, so of course, she had to refine them. When she became an alchemy master, even if her aptitude was poor, she could still reach the Golden Core stage by taking pills every day! ¡°Thank you, Martial Uncle! After I finish today¡¯s task, I¡¯ll go and study!¡± With that, she prepared to go distribute the medical herbs immediately, but Ma Youcai shouted, ¡°Wait!¡± Dong Xi turned around and saluted respectfully, ¡°Uncle-Master, do you have any other instructions?¡± Ma Youcai took out three Shengluo Flowers from his storage bag and ced them in her hand. ¡°This is the reward for the mission. Don¡¯t¡­ Cough¡­ Don¡¯t go out and show off.¡± Dong Xi was a smart child and instantly understood. This was given to him by her Uncle-Master in private. Other disciples who came to do missions did not receive such treatment. The smile on her face became even more radiant as she took the flowers with both hands and said happily, ¡°Thank you, Martial Uncle! This disciple will remember!¡± Although the medicine was also in the pharmacy, it was on the other side. When Dong Xi went over to report, there were already other disciples here. They did not look too old and should have entered the sect in the same batch. When these people saw Dong Xiing over, their expressions all became unnatural. Dong Xi¡¯s hidden identity card was registered by the Senior Sister in charge and was sent to arge cab. Hua Ling said, ¡°You¡¯re quite lucky. Martial Uncle Ma asked you to get the Spirit Restore Pill, which has the least amount of ingredients. Do it well. You have to give out 100 portions today. Disciples wille to collect them starting tomorrow, so you can¡¯t dy.¡± When Dong Xi heard the others call this Senior Sister Hua Ling, she also secretly remembered it. ¡°Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister Hua Ling.¡± Dong Xi obediently cupped her fists. ¡°You¡¯re pretty quick-witted, hurry up and get back to work.¡± Hua Ling smiled. Compared to sorting the herbs, picking the herbs was much easier. They just had to put the herbs together ording to the prescribed ratio. Just after noon, Dong Xi had sorted a hundred sets of medicinal ingredients. Hua Ling liked people who worked efficiently, so she directly gave her two days¡¯ worth of points. Dong Xi made a hand seal. Seeing the 20 points on the token, she was in a good mood. She happily collected the ingredients for her ten Spirit Restore Pills and went to the Cultivation Technique Hall. As soon as Dong Xi entered the Cultivation Technique Hall, she wanted to leave immediately. The smile on her face disappeared, and aplicated expression appeared on her face. Liang Yan saw her as well. He had a deep impression of this junior. Not only because she plucked his fruit, but also because Song Qingfeng would protect her. He scanned Dong Xi with his divine sense. A thinyer of sweat appeared on Dong Xi¡¯s forehead, and she instantly felt as if Liang Yan had seen through him. The image of the sword stabbing toward her chest unconsciously appeared in her mind. Even though he was not the one who did it, it still caused Dong Xi to feel a lingering fear in her heart. Her face was pale and her body was tense. The air was frighteningly quiet. The little snake on her wrist came to life and moved a little. An ancient runended on Dong Xi¡¯s forehead. No one had noticed this, not even Dong Xi. This talisman could ensure that no one would discover her special physique, and no one would be able to detect her true cultivation level. To Dong Xi, this was also an additional cover. ¡°What do you want to learn?¡± Liang Yan asked after a long silence. The coldness in Dong Xi¡¯s heart slowly dissipated. She suppressed the difort in her heart and told herself that nothing had happened yet. She had to be careful in the future. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m learning alchemy.¡± Liang Yan had just checked her cultivation. Although her aptitude was not very good, she cultivated quite fast. No wonder Song Qingfeng would protect her. Liang Yan took out a jade slip and threw it to her. He said coldly, ¡°Take a look first, ask if you don¡¯t understand.¡± Dong Xi immediately caught the jade slip and pressed it against his forehead. She waspletely immersed in the jade slip. After a while, she absorbed the alchemy techniques. When she opened her eyes, Liang Yan asked, ¡°how is it? What do you not understand?¡± Dong Xi thought that she had to ask no matter what. When she was stronger in the future, she would not be afraid of him and could even teach him a lesson! Chapter 46 - You’re Afraid of Me?

Chapter 46: You¡¯re Afraid of Me?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

As she thought of this, she raised her head and looked directly into Liang Yan¡¯s eyes. Liang Yan was stunned. Her eyes were very dark and bright, and there was a restraint that he could not understand. It really did not look like the eyes of a ten-year-old girl. ¡°Why? are you afraid of me?¡± Liang Yan asked. Dong Xi subconsciously wanted to nod, but she forced herself to stop. She puffed out her chest and said, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid.¡± However, she did not know that in Liang Yan¡¯s eyes, her attitude was just a facade. Liang Yan¡¯s lips curled into a smile. He rarely smiled, and even if the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, it would be hard to notice. However, when he sensed his emotions, he was stunned and suppressed the smile on his face. ¡°You¡¯re not afraid, huh? If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, say it now.¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°The Jade slip said that the temperature in the alchemy furnace must be controlled to a suitable temperature. What is this temperature?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a temperature that can melt medicinal herbs into a liquid without evaporating them,¡± Liang Yan replied. ¡°I still don¡¯t quite understand the magic art to fuse medicinal herbs,¡± Dong Xi continued to ask. Liang Yan performed a hand seal and Dong Xi immediately followed suit, not caring about any grudges. By the time the spell waspleted, she was already sweating profusely, and most of her spiritual energy had been consumed. Dong Xi immediately realized that refining pills with her current cultivation base was a bit too much. No wonder the sect required disciples above the second level of Qi Refinement to receive materials to learn. It was impossible to sessfully form the seal at the first level of Qi Refinement. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi recovered very slowly during the day, but the Alchemy Room was only open to new disciples like them during the day. She frowned. If she immediately took these materials to refine pills, the final sess rate would be very low. Even if it was sessfully refined, it would be a low-grade spirit pill, not worth much at all. ¡°You still haven¡¯t learned it?¡± Liang Yan asked when he saw her hesitant expression. Dong Xi raised her head. ¡°I already know. Thank you, Senior Brother.¡± Liang Yan pondered for a moment. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be afraid of me. Although you stole my spirit fruits, I didn¡¯t punish you. Why are you feeling more aggrieved than me?¡± Dong Xi pursed her lips. It was only thanks to him that she remembered that the two of them still had such an entanglement. Seeing that Dong Xi was not saying anything, Liang Yan slowly lost his patience. ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly.¡± Dong Xi opened her mouth, and for some reason, she suddenly said, ¡°I was thinking, if I could get Eldest Senior Brother to help me¡­ Apart from the ones we give to the sect, we can split the rest equally. Is that possible?¡± Liang Yan scoffed. ¡°Hehe.¡± The words that he wanted to reprimand suddenly could note out of his mouth. This Junior Sister¡¯s eyes were obviously afraid when she looked at him just now. How could she be so insatiable in just a few words? After Dong Xi said this, she wished she could turn back time and beat herself up for spouting nonsense just now. She revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Since it had alreadye to this, she might as well just throw the pot to the ground. ¡°40 ¨C 60 will do.¡± Seeing that Liang Yan did not speak, Dong Xi continued, ¡°30 ¨C 70 is still not enough?¡± ¡­ Liang Yan¡¯s face was dark. He waved his hand, and Dong Xi was mmed against the wall. In her heart, she started to curse at this man who had attacked a child because of a disagreement. However, the next moment, she heard Liang Yan say, ¡°Leave the herbs here. Come and get them tomorrow.¡± Dong Xi bit her lip and looked at the cold-faced man. He suddenly realized that she had cursed too early. She slid down from the wall. After she steadied herself, she coughed lightly and took out some materials from her storage bag. She stepped forward and carefully ced them in front of Liang Yan. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Eldest Senior Brother.¡± She saluted with cupped fists. Even when she left the Cultivation Technique Hall, her mind was still in a dazed state. She did not know why, but she dared to ask Eldest Senior Brother to refine pills for her!? What was even more unexpected was that Eldest Senior Brother had agreed! Dong Xi did not know what Liang Yan was thinking, nor did Liang Yan himself. He looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him and lowered his head in deep thought. These medicinal herbs were not worth much spirit stones in total, and he had even agreed to split the money 30 ¨C 70 with that girl. Forget it, I¡¯ll just take it as helping my Junior Sister. The next day, Liang Yan did not need to go to the Cultivation Technique Hall. He sat in his room and pondered for a long time before finally opening the furnace to refine pills. ¡°Ah? Eldest Senior Brother actually knows how to do sect missions?¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s voice came closer. Liang Yan ignored him, and Song Qingfeng slowly appeared in the courtyard. He furrowed his brows and said, ¡°It¡¯s really the Spirit Restore Pill. Eldest Senior Brother, you¡¯re 60 yearste for this alchemy mission. Today, you¡¯ve already opened the furnace. You¡¯ll have to practice my portion as well.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s injured body did not stop moving. He raised his hand and made a hand seal. Then, he closed the lid of the furnace and said, ¡°What are you doing here? If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave quickly.¡± Song Qingfeng threw out a scroll and said lightly, ¡°In the second half of the year, you will lead the Alchemy Sect disciples¡¯ trial. If you can think of disciples who meet the conditions, just write their names and they will be qualified to enter.¡± Chapter 47 - Lying

Chapter 47: Lying

Liang Yan threw the scroll back to song Qingfeng, ¡°I don¡¯t have time.¡± Song Qingfeng put down the scroll and disappeared. His voice echoed in the air, ¡°Master asked me to bring it over. If you don¡¯t want to go, you can go and tell Master yourself.¡± Liang Yan was helpless. He raised his hand and grabbed at the air, and the scroll flew into his hand. He frowned, thought for a moment, and put the scroll away. At this moment, the alchemy furnace in front of him also exuded a refreshing fragrance. He cast a spell again, opened the lid, took out a jade screen, and stored the ten pills. He refined ten cauldrons in a row, a total of one hundred pills, each of which was a Supreme-grade pill. After refining the elixir, it was already bright outside. Liang Yan furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. He suddenly felt like he was being controlled. Why would he be willing to waste an entire morning to help his Junior Sister whom he had only met twice? When he thought of her, the fear on his face disappeared. Perhaps it was because she was different from other women. Liang Yan kept the pills and left the courtyard in a sh. He reappeared in front of Master Lingxu¡¯s cave abode. ¡°Master, I, Liang Yan, have something important to discuss with you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the restriction of the cave abode was deactivated. Liang Yan stood up and walked into the cave. The moment he entered, he heard Master Lingxu ask, ¡°I heard from Qingfeng that you¡¯re refining pills?¡± Liang Yan grunted in agreement. Ling Xu nced at him, ¡°A mission?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Liang Yan replied. ¡°Liang Yan, you¡¯re lying,¡± Lingxu chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s an agreement, so it can¡¯t be considered a lie.¡± Liang Yan did not deny it. He was indeed doing a mission, but it was someone else¡¯s mission. When Ling Xu heard this, he asked curiously, ¡°Oh? Who is it that can make you refine pills?¡± Liang Yan did not answer this time. Instead, he took out a scroll. ¡°Master, it¡¯s better to let someone else lead the team for the trial.¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Ling Xu immediately threw him out. In an instant, the stone door of the immortal¡¯s cave closed. Liang Yan knew that his Master had already made up his mind. He had to lead the team this time. The trial test for new disciples was like child¡¯s y. Itsted ten days, and he could not do anything during these ten days. He could only wait at the entrance for everyone toe out. Song Qingfeng suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was very happy to see Liang Yan¡¯s face. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Senior Brother, you look so old now. You¡¯re only a few decades old. Why do you have to look like you¡¯re a few hundred years old? It¡¯s good to be with those young disciples. They can help you look like a young man. When we first entered the sect, you were so beautiful. You¡¯re not as annoying as you are now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s better than some people crying after leaving home,¡± Liang Yan replied with a look. Song Qingfeng was silent for a moment. He then became furious. ¡°Who¡¯s crying?! I was forced to drink a Tear Inducing Pill by my cousin!¡± Liang Yan¡¯s lips curled up slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief. He then left. Song Qingfeng was furious and followed him. He had to find out who Liang Yan had agreed with to start refining pills, and they were even of the lowest grade! The next morning, Dong Xi finished her cultivation as soon as the sun rose. The spiritual energy in her Dantian was more condensed. She also began to slowly temper her Du Meridian. When she was done, she could attempt to break through to the third level of Qi Refinement. She opened her eyes and used the spiritual Qi she had cultivated all night to convert into the wood attribute to help the little snake on her arm heal. After consuming about 30 percent of her spiritual Qi, Dong Xi stopped and stood up from the futon. She walked out of the door and headed to the Cultivation Technique Hall. When she arrived, Liang Yan had not yet arrived. She squatted on the ground and began to draw with a small branch at the side, mumbling softly. ¡°He¡¯s a bad guy who instigated Dong Rourou to kill people. Why should I believe him? Maybe I got scammed by him. If that¡¯s the case, not only would I not have any medicinal pills, I might not even have any medicinal herbs.¡± Her drawing skills were not good, so it was impossible to tell who the little person was. The sudden appearance of a pair of boots in front of her gave her a shock. She looked up and saw the man in front of her. Her pupils shrank and she immediately stood up. She used her foot to rub off the drawing on the ground and smiled awkwardly. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯vee.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t believe me.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s face was still gloomy. What he said was a statement, and Dong Xi was extremely embarrassed. As expected, this fantasy world was different from her own world, and she must be careful when talking behind other people¡¯s backs. Dong Xi said, ¡°No, it¡¯s just¡­¡± She had wanted to stammer and fool him, but Liang Yan had no intention of telling her to shut up. He just kept looking at her, waiting for her to finish. Dong Xi instantly lost herposure. She lowered her head, and even her tied-up hair bun looked a little listless. ¡°I just saw that you weren¡¯t here yet, so I thought you were lying to me yesterday.¡± Chapter 48 - Gossip

Liang Yan did not say anything. He just took out a pill that he had refined and ced it in front of her. ¡°Take it.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly opened a bottle. The fragrance of the pills intoxicated her. Just as she regained her senses, she heard Liang Yan continue, ¡°10 portions of medicinal herbs, a total of 100 pills. The sect has 70 pills, and we¡¯ll split the rest 30 ¨C 70. I¡¯ll take 21, and you¡¯ll take 9.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s calctive appearance had simply refreshed Dong Xi¡¯s understanding of him. The big Senior Brother of the Ningtian¡¯s Alchemy Sect¡­ Was he short of these low-grade pills? It was only 21 low-grade medicinal pills. How could she, Dong Xi, be the kind of person who would renege on a debt? She immediately took out two bottles of pills and one from the other bottle. She ced it inside and handed both to Liang Yan. ¡°For you!¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°I¡¯ll do as I say!¡± Liang Yan took the pill and heard a clear voice, ¡°I was still wondering why Eldest Senior Brother would refine a low-grade pill. So it turns out that he¡¯s helping Junior Sister.¡± Dong Xi followed the voice and saw Song Qingfeng in green, floating in the air with a folding fan. Dong Xi frowned. She was just about to say ¡®happy working with you¡¯ and ¡®let¡¯s continue working together¡¯, when she was interrupted by Song Qingfeng. What a bad time! Her expression was clearly seen by Song Qingfeng. He immediately asked, ¡°Little Daoist, what¡¯s with your expression? You didn¡¯t even look this grateful when I helped you refine pills. We¡¯re all Senior Brothers, why do you treat us so differently?¡± Dong Xi looked up at him in surprise, and said with a fake smile, ¡°Senior Brother, did Junior Sister make too many mistakes? When have I ever asked Senior Brother to help me refine a pill?¡± Song Qingfeng tapped her forehead with the folding fan, dazzling Dong Xi for a moment. She did not know if the folding fan looked better or her face. The handsome man in front of her smiled and said, ¡°So I was wrong. It seems that you can¡¯t do good deeds without leaving your name. Junior Sister, think about it carefully. When you came to the Alchemy Sect that day, did you have an extra bottle of pills in your storage bag? ¡± He looked at the little girl in front of him with her eyes gradually widening in surprise. He continued to ask, ¡°How is it? Do you remember now?¡± At that time, he felt that this Junior Sister was interesting, so he gave her a bottle of Fasting Pills. At that time, he did not want anyone to know about it, in case he got himself into trouble. Dong Xi also did not know why he would give the medicinal pills, but now that she knew, she naturally had to ept this favor. Dong Xi came to a sudden realization. ¡°So it¡¯s a gift from Senior Brother. Thank you, Senior Brother! Junior Sister will remember this. In the future, when Junior Sister¡¯s cultivation is sessful, I will definitely return a bottle to senior brother!¡± Hearing her words, Song Qingfeng also smiled. With this smile, his eyes softened, ¡°This Daoist Nun of yours is very interesting,¡± With just a few words, she had set the condition that she could return a bottle of medicinal pills for this favor. It was not easy for someone of her age to have such wisdom. ¡°Senior Brother, my name is Dong Xi, not a Daoist Nun!¡± Dong Xi did not like people calling her ¡®Daoist Nun¡¯, so she frowned and corrected him. Song Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her gently. He asked, ¡°Since you¡¯re not a Daoist Nun, why are youbing your hair?¡± Dong Xi looked at his appearance and was almost drooling. She tried her best to restrain the thoughts of lust in her body and said with a serious expression, ¡°This isn¡¯t a Daoist Nun¡¯s hairstyle, it¡¯s a meatball.¡± Liang Yan stood at the side and watched the two of them talk. He then looked at Song Qingfeng shamelessly using an illusion on the little girl and frowned. To his surprise, this little girl¡¯s character was actually appraised and she was not sessfully ¡®seduced¡¯ by his illusion. Heughed contemptuously. ¡°I¡¯ve already given you what I should have. I won¡¯t disturb you two from reminiscing.¡± Dong Xi was afraid that it would be difficult to find him in the future, so she immediately asked before he disappeared, ¡°Senior Brother, do you want to continue next month, at the same time?¡± Song Qingfeng stood not far away and looked at Liang Yan with a faint smile. Liang Yan acted as if he did not see anything and nodded his head indifferently. Song Qingfeng found that he could not understand his Senior Brother more and more. Not to mention pills, even this jade bottle was more valuable than the pills. This bottle was used to store high-level pills, but now he gave it to this girl without even blinking. If this little girl was older, he would understand that his Senior Brother had just started to love her. But she was only ten years old, and her hair had not even fully grown yet! ¡°Senior Brother, Fairy Lingmiao should be here in a few days, right?¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s casual words made Liang Yan¡¯s expression change. He turned around and left. Dong Xi, on the other hand, sensed the smell of gossip and immediately asked Song Qingfeng, ¡°Senior brother, who is this Fairy Lingmiao?¡± In the next second, Song Qingfeng¡¯s fan hit her head, and even the ball on her head was knocked off. ¡°Don¡¯t blindly inquire about adults¡¯ matters.¡± Chapter 49 - Getting Rich

Chapter 49: Getting Rich

Dong Xi was a little speechless. It was just a matter of men and women making love, how could it be shameful? She had only read arge version of the book, but she could not remember that Eldest Senior Brother had such a pursuer. She should be an unimportant passerby. Dong Xi did not know that she had guessed wrong this time. Fairy Lingmiao was Liang Yan¡¯s biggest creditor. She was now in thete stage of the Golden Core and had spent a huge sum of money to buy a spirit vein in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Who would have thought that Liang Yan would have broken through to thete-stage Golden Core that day and used a third of the spirit vein on that mountain? How could Fairy Lingmiao tolerate this? Unfortunately, Liang Yan was the Alchemy Sect¡¯s Eldest Senior Brother. He could not run even if he wanted to. The debt had to be paid off. Although he was an alchemist and also a swordsman, he had spent almost all the spirit stones he had earned from alchemy on nurturing his sword. He had no money on him. Fairy Lingmiao woulde to the Ningtian Sect once every three years, and Song Qingfeng had been watching the fun for 40 years. Although Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation level was low, her sixth sense had always been very urate. These two Senior Brothers might have some dirty thoughts, but they did not have any ill intentions towards her. At least, that was the case now. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to stay away from Eldest Senior Brother?¡± Song Qingfeng suddenly said. Dong Xi was taken aback. She narrowed her eyes and tried to recall. It seemed like he had indeed mentioned it before. But at that time, she did not need him to say anything at all. Now, when she saw Eldest Senior Brother, she also wanted to avoid him. But now, for some reason, most of this fear had dissipated. Could it be because Eldest Senior Brother was helping her refine the pills? She sighed softly. As expected, she was still easily sold by small profits. ¡°Senior Brother, can I ask you something?¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng and asked innocently. ¡°No,¡± Song Qingfeng replied while holding his folding fan. The smile on Dong Xi¡¯s face instantly disappeared, and she directly walked towards the small wooden house. ¡°Then I won¡¯t ask anymore. Goodbye.¡± Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± If she did not listen to him, she would sufferter. Dong Xi lifted her legs and walked away, not even looking back. She had a thought in her mind. The pills that Eldest Senior Brother refined were more than one level better than the ones given out by the sect. If she exchanged it for a low-level pill, she would then hand it in ording to the basic pillpletion rate of a neer. Wouldn¡¯t she be able to make a fortune from this mess? Dong Xipleted the ten-day mission of the pharmacy before giving herself a day off. He went to the market and asked the pill seller. The bottles of pills that Eldest Senior Brother had refined were all of the highest quality! A supreme-grade spirit refilling pill could be exchanged for a mid-grade spirit stone, and a mid-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for 200 low-grade Spirit Restore Pill. Dong Xi was instantly stunned on the spot. Her heart was extremely shocked, and there were only two words in her mind. I¡¯m rich! ¡°Little Fairy, are you still selling the pills? Although a low-tier Spirit Restore Pill like this isn¡¯t worth much, anything with the word ¡®supreme-grade¡¯ in it won¡¯t be cheap. You only have one, so if you can supply it inrge quantities, the price can be even higher.¡± The shopkeeper also wanted to test the waters. Dong Xi immediately shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t have any. I¡¯m just a small disciple. How could I possibly have arge number of them? I was just lucky and Senior Brother rewarded me with one. That¡¯s why I thought of exchanging it for some spirit stones.¡± She was not stupid and understood what it meant to y innocent and guilty. If she took out the remaining 79 supreme-grade pills, she would probably be targeted. Although the shopkeeper was a little disappointed, he had expected it. He asked again, ¡°Little Fairy, what else do you need?¡± ¡°Exchange them for 100 low-grade Spirit Restore Pills and the rest for spirit stones,¡± said Dong Xi immediately. This was her first time refining a medicinal pill, so there was a failure rate. She only needed to hand in ten pills. She was prepared to keep the rest for her own use. Her body recovered its spiritual energy very slowly during the day, so she could only rely on medicinal pills to maintain it. The Spirit Restore Pill could be said to be a necessity. ording to her current cultivation, one pill could directly fill it up, so it was indeed a waste to eat the best quality. 100 low-grade spirit refilling pills were only worth 50 low-grade spirit stones. If she gave the shopkeeper a supreme-grade pill, she could still exchange it for 50 low-grade spirit stones. Dong Xi walked out of the pill shop, feeling a little unreal. This was what it felt like to get rich overnight? She felt a little light-headed, as if she was the boss. However, it was also because of this that she did not dare to continue working with Eldest Senior Brother. Although these things were as easy as lifting a finger for Liang Yan, Dong Xi still found it difficult to ept such a huge benefit. The value of the pill far exceeded the material itself. On the way back to the sect, Dong Xi saw a clothing store and went in to take a look. It was not that she wanted to be smug, but from the start of her cultivation until now, she had suddenly started to grow. The clothes that her original body had brought were all ordinary items and were already small. Walking into the shop, the shopkeeper enthusiastically promoted all kinds of fairy clothes. Chapter 50 - Cross-Dressing

Chapter 50: Cross-Dressing

There were furry rainbow feathers and so on, and every one of them was very beautiful. Dong Xi touched her storage bag, pointed to one of them, and asked, ¡°How many spiritual stones does this cost?¡± The shopkeeper¡¯s face was full of smiles as he replied, ¡°Little Fairy, you have good taste. This is only selling for 990 mid-grade spirit stones, and it will block divine sense when you wear it. It¡¯s a good piece of clothing that you must wear.¡± Dong Xi touched her storage bag. She felt like a kite that was flying freely just a moment ago, but was instantly pulled back to the ground. With a cold face, she moved her eyes away from the beautiful clothes and said to the shopkeeper, ¡°Bring me the cheapest one in the shop.¡± Her tone and manner of speaking made people think that she was going to spend a lot of money! The corner of the shopkeeper¡¯s eyes twitched. After a moment of silence, he pointed to the corner of the wall and said, ¡°Little Fairy, these are the designs fromst year. They¡¯re very cheap. If you don¡¯t have enough money, you can choose these.¡± Dong Xi walked over, satisfied. She picked it up and looked at it. It was just a dress made of a few pieces of cloth. She felt embarrassed looking at it. She pursed her lips and asked again, ¡°Where are the men¡¯s clothes?¡± The shopkeeper looked at her in surprise as he picked out a set of men¡¯s clothing and a headband. She paid the spirit stones with satisfaction. When Ke Xin saw Dong Xi again, she looked at her clothes and the headband. ¡°What do you think?¡± Dong Xi tugged at the corner of her clothes. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good?¡± The clothes in the Immortal cultivation world were indeed different. When worn, they could automatically change to a suitable size. This way, one would not have to worry about eating too much and loosening their belt. The original hairpin on her head was also changed to a hairband. She tied it into a high ponytail and tied a bow, so that Song Qingfeng would not always call her a Little Daoist Nun. ¡°Sister,¡± Ke Xin said helplessly, ¡°You¡¯re a girl. Why are you disguising yourself as a man?!¡± She frowned and looked at Dong Xi, who was unmoved by force or persuasion. She said earnestly, ¡°When you tied your hair up thest time, I wanted to say, how can a girl dress like this?¡± Dong Xi did not feel anything was wrong. ¡°Men¡¯s clothes are neater than women¡¯s clothes, and I can also practice the sword. How is it not good-looking?¡± Ke Xin had a helpless expression as she nodded. ¡°It¡¯s not that ugly¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was serious as he said, ¡°Sister, we are cultivators. The most important thing is to have no distracting thoughts. This kind of ambiguousparison is not good. In the future, when your cultivation level goes up, whoever sees you will respectfully call you Fairy. At that time, who will care what you wear?¡± Ke Xin felt that there was some truth in her words, but after all, she had been raised in the mortal world for more than ten years, so some of her thoughts were still deeply rooted. ¡°But¡­ How are you going to find a good man in the future if you dress like this?¡± She looked at Dong Xi carefully. Dong Xi, ¡°???¡± She waspletely ¡®convinced¡¯ by Ke Xin¡¯s words. She had already chosen to cultivate, why would she still want a good man? It was still uncertain if she can live until then! Of course, these were all things that could not be known to outsiders. She found an excuse. ¡°If he¡¯s just a man who cares about appearance, what¡¯s the use of having such a man? Sister, think about it, right?¡± Ke Xin pondered for a long time before nodding. ¡°You¡¯re right! Sister, not bad! You may look young, but you can see these things more clearly than those adults!¡± Although she looked like she was ten years old, he had already received nine years ofpulsory education and the ¡®torture¡¯ of high school. Dong Xi continued to say shamelessly, ¡°If you want to make a name for yourself in the Immortal cultivation world, you have to rely on your own strength. Sister, you can¡¯t rely on your husband¡¯s ideas. Have you ever seen a powerful person Ascend with his own children and wife?¡± Ke Xin opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Ke Xin did not fight back. She was very d that she had transmigrated to the world of Immortal cultivation, which was simpler and crueler than the funeral. As long as she had the strength, people would listen to her, no matter if it was a man or a woman. However, she did not expect to run into Ke Xin the next day when he went to the pharmacy toplete a mission. She was also dressed in men¡¯s clothes, and her hair was the same as before, in a bun. Ke Xin saw Dong Xi from afar and ran over to her happily. ¡°Sister, how is it? Does it look good?¡± Dong Xi was silent. Could she say that wearing men¡¯s clothes was because men¡¯s clothes were the cheapest? She did not know how this omnipotent fairy Ke Xin managed to get her hands on men¡¯s clothing in one night. Ke Xin looked at her speechless expression and frowned. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good?¡± Dong Xi immediately shook her head, his expression serious. ¡°It¡¯s so good to look at!¡± Ke Xin was very satisfied, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve finished reading that book these few days. I went to ept a mission early in the morning! You¡¯re right, I¡¯m going to work harder in the future and Ascend by myself!¡± Chapter 51 - Satisfying Their Appetite

Chapter 51: Satisfying Their Appetite

¡°Good sister, don¡¯t forget each other when you¡¯re rich!¡± Dong Xi immediately cupped his fists. Ke Xin agreed with a smile. The two of them entered the pharmacy and worked there for two and a half months. During this period of time, Dong Xi had self-studied a few books in the jade space. Although she was still a little trash with no experience in alchemy, she had no problem practicising on her own. Dong Xi did not send the herbs she received in the past two months to her Eldest Senior Brother. She kept them all for herself. She would only start refining pills when her cultivation level increased. She handed in the low-grade pills she had bought previously. That afternoon, Dong Xi and herpanion went to the back of the mountain and caught a wild chicken. They used fire spiritual Qi to start a fire and roast it. They sprinkled some spirit herbs on it to satisfy their appetite. Ke Xin took the chicken leg and took a bite, not caring about the scorching temperature. Ke Xin¡¯s eyes brightened when she put it in her mouth. She mumbled, ¡°Sister, I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a skill!¡± Dong Xi smiled. She knew more than this. It was just that there were too few ingredients in the Immortal cultivation world. Otherwise, this little barbecue would definitely be more delicious. ¡°Next time you want to eat it, juste to me directly.¡± The two of them chatted for a while before Dong Xi sighed. ¡°Sister, if you¡¯re not chosen by Master Lingxu, what¡¯s your next n?¡± Ke Xin¡¯s eyes widened as she held the chicken leg. ¡°Sister, aren¡¯t you a little too intoxicated?¡± Dong Xi was confused, but Ke Xin continued, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be asking me what I n to do if I¡¯m not selected. You should be asking what I do if I¡¯m selected.¡± However, to them, it was normal not to be selected. It would be a miracle if they were selected! Dong Xi was taken aback by Ke Xin¡¯s words, but she soon realized that she had indeed been overthinking. She smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ll do my best and leave it to fate! No matter where we are, all we have to do is work hard in cultivation!¡± The next day was the day when Master Lingxu chose his disciple. It was said that Master Wukong of Destiny Valley had made a fortune for Master Lingxu, saying that he could only find thest disciple on this day. If he missed this day, the rest would be doomed. Dong Xi woke up early in the morning and went to the pond to wash her hair. This was already the greatest respect she could show for this assessment. After tidying up her hair, she met up with Ke Xin. The two of them smiled at each other and signed up. The exam was divided into two rounds. The first was theory and the second was pill refining. Dong Xi had never refined a pill before, so her theoretical results had be especially important. The square was already filled with tables and futons, and there were at least a few hundred disciples participating in the selection. After all, it was Master Lingxu who took in thest disciple, who would not be tempted? However, among all the participating disciples, only Dong Xi and Ke Xin were new disciples. No, there was also the new disciple from the Sword Sect with an attribute of 99. She did not have the wood spiritual root that was necessary for alchemy, but she hade to join in the fun. In everyone¡¯s eyes, the three neers were like newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers. They looked at them as if they were primary school students taking the college entrance examination. Ke Xin felt a little guilty and stood beside Dong Xi, whispering, ¡°Sister, can we do it? This scene is too big, I¡¯m not confident.¡± Dong Xi, on the other hand, was full of confidence. ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of, we¡¯re already here¡­¡± Hearing this, Ke Xin decided that since they were already here, they should just do their best. Even if they failed in the end, they could not possibly do worse than they were now, right? As the drum sounded, a majestic voice resounded throughout the examination hall, ¡°All participating disciples, please take your seats ording to your number.¡± The voice sounded familiar to Dong Xi. She raised her head and realized that the head examiner was her Eldest Senior Brother, Liang Yan! ¡°You¡¯re number 357, and I¡¯m number 364. It¡¯s not too far away.¡± Ke Xin dragged Dong Xi to her seat. Every 50 numbers were a section, and the square was divided into nine sections. Dong Xi found her seat and sat down. Seeing the Senior Brothers and Sisters around her take their seats, the Eldest Senior Brother on the stage said, ¡°Don¡¯t whisper to each other, don¡¯t look around.¡± After exining a lot of rules, the Senior Brothers and Sisters began to distribute the test papers. The Immortal cultivation world¡¯s examination paper was a kind of low-level magic tool. The illusionary images of medicinal herbs appeared on the examination paper one by one, and no one could see each other. What she had to do was to recognize and ssify these medicinal herbs, and also write down the medicinal theory and taboos of each medicinal herb. Looking at the numerous medicinal herbs on the examination paper, the stage was huge. Dong Xi took a deep breath, then lowered her head and answered the paper seriously. The Bitter Lotus could not melt, so she should add a little Snake Tail Vegetable as a catalyst. The sparks and the serene cold grass repelled each other and could not be ssified as the same kind of lotus. Dong Xi replied to her heart¡¯s content, but her handwriting was a little ugly. By the time she finished the questions, the incense on the stage had already burned by more than half. When she lowered her head to look at the test paper, the illusionary images of the medicinal herbs had already disappeared, and another question had appeared.

How to fuse Burning Grass, Sky Fire Flower, and Sky Fire Stone? Dong Xi felt that this question was the key to the selection. She seriously organized her thoughts, picked up a brush, and drew the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams, marking out the attributes of the three. ording to the eight trigrams, she calcted the bnce between the three. After finishing thest stroke, she looked at the test paper filled with answers with relief. This was not difficult for a science student! This time, she finished the answerpletely. Just as she wrote her name, she heard Eldest Senior Brother say, ¡°Time¡¯s up.¡± Liang Yan stood on the stage and with a wave of his hand, all the test papers floated in the air. The crowd immediately let out a cry of grief. Only Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. There was almost not enough time. She picked up her token and went to find Ke Xin. The moment the two met, she immediately asked, ¡°How is it?¡± They looked at each other and Ke Xin sighed. ¡°As you said before, I¡¯ve written everything I know and made up everything I don¡¯t know. Whether they are correct¡­ I have no idea¡­¡± Dong Xi understood this feeling. Dong Xi said, ¡°Do your best. Leave it to fate. Don¡¯t be too conflicted.¡± When everyone¡¯s papers were ced in front of Liang Yan, he finished reading all three papers in a single breath. When he flipped to one of the papers, he suddenly stopped. The paper was filled with words and most of them were correct. However, the handwriting was really ugly. He continued to check the test papers until he reached thest question. His eyes widened, and he felt as if he had been enlightened. Was this the Eight Trigrams? It could actually be used like this? However, he did not understand the algorithm. I did not expect that there would be such a genius in the outer sect. Let¡¯s see what kind of disciple he is! Liang Yan was curious. He found the front of the test paper and saw two big words written on it. Dong Xi. Liang Yan was stunned. His heart was filled with shock, and it took him a long time to recover. Were kids these days already so powerful? He could not even fully understand the calction method she wrote down. Although this girl was very smart, her handwriting was too ugly andcked style. As he thought about it, he put Dong Xi¡¯s test paper aside and showed it to his masterter. When he looked at the other people¡¯s test papers, although they were not bad, they were not as refreshing as Dong Xi¡¯s. He took the few scripts he had selected and came to his master¡¯s cave abode. Out of selfishness, he ced Dong Xi¡¯s script at the top. To be able to write so much at such a young age, it was not an exaggeration to call her a genius. Her weakness was that her cultivation was a little low, and her talent was not very good. He did not know if his master would like it. Master Lingxu looked at the script, especially the words on the first script. He instinctively wanted to flip to the next one, but Liang Yan stopped him in time. ¡°Master.¡± Master Lingxu took a look and saw Liang Yan frowning. He said with a strange expression, ¡°Master, won¡¯t you take a good look at this one?¡± Master Lingxu understood Liang Yan¡¯s character. If this paper was not outstanding, Liang Yan would not be like this. He lowered his head and opened the paper again. He looked at it carefully and was more and more surprised. After reading it, he put the paper aside. ¡°This test is interesting. Which mountain is this disciple called Dong Xi from? It¡¯s a good idea, but the handwriting is too ugly.¡± ¡°Master, this is the new disciple who just entered the sect a few days ago. She¡¯s an outer sect disciple and is ten years old,¡± Liang Yan replied respectfully. ¡°Ten? No wonder her handwriting is so ugly.¡± Master Lingxu sighed and suddenly thought of something. He immediately stood up and asked in disbelief, ¡°Wait a minute, how old did you say she was?!¡± Liang Yan was not surprised at all when he saw his Master¡¯s reaction. He immediately said, ¡°Ten years old.¡± Master Lingxu waved his hand, and the other exam papers disappeared without a trace. ¡°This is enough. There¡¯s no need to look at the other disciples.¡± Since he was the one choosing his disciples, Liang Yan could not interfere too much. However, as the eldest disciple, he had to remind him, ¡°Master, this disciple¡¯s aptitude is a bit poor.¡± ¡°poor in what way?¡± Master Lingxu frowned. ¡°She only has three spirit roots.¡± Master Lingxu waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s fine if she has three spiritual roots. With my strength, I can at least raise her to the Golden Core stage. Just tell me, is there a fire attribute in her three spiritual roots? ¡± When Master Lingxu asked this question, he had already thought about it. Even if this disciple did not have a fire attribute spirit root, with her talent in alchemy, she had to catch a fire spirit. Liang Yan had been Master Lingxu¡¯s disciple for a hundred years andpletely understood his personality. It was already inevitable that Dong Xi would be hisst disciple, unless¡­ they could find someone more outstanding. Chapter 53 - Getting in Through the Back Door

¡°She does have a fire spirit root, but its attribute is very low. It¡¯s only 71,¡± Liang Yan replied respectfully. Hearing this, Master Lingxu¡¯s furrowed brows rxed. ¡°There¡¯s hope. 71 might not be good at cultivation, but she has no problem in alchemy.¡± As the master and disciple were talking, the restriction of the cave abode was triggered. Master Lingxu made a hand seal, and a voice transmission talisman entered. Master Yijian said, ¡°Lingxu, long time no see. How are you?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Master Lingxu frowned again. ¡°Why is Master Yijian here all of a sudden?¡± Daoist Yijian was an elder of the Sword Sect. He was not in the sect usually. If he was not fighting, he would be on the way to another fight. Four years ago, when he returned to the sect, he suddenly announced that he was going into seclusion. Everyone thought that he had encountered some fortuitous encounter outside and was preparing to break through in seclusion. They did not expect that there had been no movement until now. Liang Yan said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s going to ask you to help refine pills?¡± Master Lingxu shook his head, thinking that it was unlikely. Yijian¡¯s Dao was the Dao of killing. ording to his previous style, he had always been looking for a breakthrough in battle. Other than the Spirit Restore Pill, he had never taken any other medicinal pills. ¡°Forget it, we¡¯ll know when wee in and ask,¡± Ling Xu said. He casually touched the restriction and personally went out to wee him. ¡°Daoist Yijian hase out of seclusion? Have you already made a breakthrough?¡± He stroked his beard and asked. One of them looked like a middle-aged man carrying a thick broadsword. His strong arms seemed to be full of strength, and he should have some achievements in physical cultivation. Hearing Master Lingxu¡¯s words, Yijian shook his head and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t broken through yet, probably because the time isn¡¯t right yet.¡± Master Yijian¡¯s expression was calm, as if he did not care much about this matter. From this, one could see how firm his state of mind was. Just as Lingxu was about to ask why he hade, Yijian spoke first, ¡°Lingxu, I heard that you¡¯re going to take in a closed-door disciple?¡± Hearing his words, Lingxu was even more confused. It was true that he had taken in a disciple, but what did it have to do with him? He¡¯s already so old, it¡¯s impossible for him toe and be my disciple, right? Even so, it was impossible for Lingxu to ept her. She didn¡¯t even have a fire spiritual root, and only had a metal spiritual root. It was useless even if her root was ridiculously high! ¡°It¡¯s like this,¡± Lingxu admitted with a frown. Yijian paid attention to Lingxu¡¯s expression and asked, ¡°Master Lingxu, we have a disciple in the Sword Sect who has a fire spirit root, with root value close to 100. How about letting him be yourst disciple?¡± When Lingxu heard about the fire spirit root of almost 100, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. ¡°You¡¯re willing to let such a genius join my Alchemy Sect?¡± They were not children. If he did not have some secret n, he would have hidden such a genius. Yijian also knew that Lingxu was not easy to fool. He sighed lightly, ¡°To be honest, we¡¯re only interested in the Marrow-cleansing Gold in your hands. Moreover, that girl Chi Yan has some interest in alchemy. Once she cleanses her spirit root, she¡¯ll be able to reach the heavenly spirit root. At that time, whether it¡¯s alchemy or sword practice, she¡¯ll be able to get twice the result with half the effort.¡± He naturally could not bear to send such a genius into the hands of others, but this was Chi Yan¡¯s own choice, and he could only respect it. More importantly, sword cultivators were especially poor, unlike the alchemy master, who was overflowing with wealth. They did not have anything else to that they could offer. When Lingxu heard what he said, he instantlyughed out loud. With his hands behind his back, he said, ¡°What a good n. Isn¡¯t this like getting something for nothing?¡± Yijianughed awkwardly. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. Didn¡¯t I give you a genius disciple with a heavenly spirit root?¡± Ling Xu flicked his sleeves and turned around. ¡°No way.¡± To an alchemist, even though aptitude was important,prehension was even more important. Yijian saw that Lingxu¡¯s attitude was firm and could only reluctantly part with his treasure, ¡°A few years ago, I tamed a fire spirit outside. If you can take Chi Yan in, I¡¯ll give you this fire spirit.¡± The fire spirit was a spirit pet that all alchemists dreamed of. The fire spirit was born from the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and it was a life form with spiritual intelligence. No one knew fire better than the fire spirit. With a fire spirit, it would be much easier to concoct pills and increase the sess rate. Even the pills would be a grade higher than the real standard. However, fire spirits born from the heaven and earth were extremely rare. It might only appear once every tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. There were so many people capturing fire spirits now, and being able to capture even one was a gift from the heavens. If it was not for the opportunity to get Lingxu to take Chi Yan as a subordinate, he would have sold the fire spirit. However, Lingxu was already a few hundred years old and already had his own fire spirit. Ling Xu said, ¡°An alchemist can only have one fire spirit. I already have one. What¡¯s the use of it?¡± In his heart, he was thinking about that girl called Dong Xi. This girl¡¯sprehension was so high that she was more suitable for alchemy and was also more suitable to be hisst disciple. Perhaps she could even bring his line to greater heights.

¡°Then can¡¯t you give it to your disciples? Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng don¡¯t have it, right?¡± Yijian frowned. He was also afraid that Lingxu would not agree. Only a fire spirit might tempt Lingxu. Lingxu pondered for a moment and made a decision. He turned around and looked at Master Yijian, ¡°Well, I can consider taking her in, but she¡¯s indeed not suitable to be ourst disciple.¡± Yijian was overjoyed. What he wanted was the Marrow-cleansing Gold from Lingxu¡¯s injury. It did not matter whether she was going to be a closed-door disciple or not. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter!¡± Just as Lingxu was about to heave a sigh of relief, he heard Yijian ask nervously, ¡°Master Lingxu, if that¡¯s the case, then how about the¡­ Marrow-cleansing Gold¡­?¡± ¡°Since they are already my disciples, I will naturally think for them,¡± Lingxu replied. Master Lingxu knew that it was very important for the sect to have a disciple with a heavenly spirit root. Now that Yijian hade looking for him, if he did not agree, the next person toe would most likely be the Sect Master. Yijian instantly rxed and said, ¡°I thank Master Lingxu on behalf of my beloved disciple Chi Yan.¡± After sending off the sword, Liang Yan frowned. This was something that had already been decided, but such an ident had happened. However, Dong Xi¡¯s talent was outstanding, and herprehension ability was extremely high. If not, he could make an exception and take in a disciple. He could ept disciples when he reached the Golden Core stage, but he and Song Qingfeng were not old and did not have the patience to teach disciples, so they never mentioned this. ¡°Master, about Dong Xi¡­¡± He was just about to say his thoughts of taking in a disciple. ¡°This year, we¡¯ll take in Chi Yan and Dong Xi as disciples. With Chi Yan as a cover, no one will notice that little trash.¡± He called her a little trash, but he could not hide the smile on his face. Liang Yan was slightly taken aback, but he soon understood. Chi Yan¡¯s aptitude was outstanding, and she received a lot of attention as soon as she entered the sect. With her in front, Dong Xi¡¯s aptitude was so ordinary that it would not attract anyone¡¯s attention. ¡­ Dong Xi herself did not know that there was such an unforeseen event, and she did not know that she had almost be the disciple of her Eldest Senior Brother. After returning to her residence, she cultivated for an entire night. Just as she was about to participate in the second round of selection, she received a voice transmission talisman from her Eldest Senior Brother. The yellow talisman paper was burned away bit by bit, and Liang Yan¡¯s cold voice rang out, ¡°Master has already decided on a disciple, so the second round is canceled.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. There was no need to continue? That¡¯s good too. When ites to pill refining, whether it¡¯s cultivation or aptitude, she could notpare to the others. However, she did not know who the disciple Master Lingxu had chosen was. It was said that many of the inner sect disciples would be participating in the selection, and even people from the Sword Sect woulde. There were many talents, many of which she did not know, but Chi Yan of the Sword Sect knew them. Could it be that a disciple could join several sects? Just like how the university in her previous life allowed him to take elective sses? Did that mean that she could also go to the Sword Sect to study in the future? Dong Xi did not expect that she would be the one chosen. It was not until evening that the restriction outside the house was triggered. Dong Xi immediately went out to check, but she did not see anything. Looking around in confusion, she was about to turn around and enter the house when a strong wind came from behind. She subconsciously dodged to the side and saw a white jade token appear in front of her. An inner disciple token? Dong Xi was stunned. He turned around and saw Song Qingfeng on a tree not far away. He crossed his arms and sat on the branch with one foot suspended in the air. The setting sun fell on him, and the breeze was just right, blowing his long hair and clothes. He looked like a banished Immortal. However, the smile on his face was not serious at all. ¡°Little Daoist Nun, I haven¡¯t seen you for a few days. How have you been?¡± Dong Xi frowned. This guy seemed to be single, right? With such a talkative mouth, no matter how perfect his face was, it would not be able to save him. ¡°I¡¯m not a Daoist Nun!¡± Song Qingfeng nced at the ponytail and said, ¡°Ah? Did you change your hairstyle? However, you¡¯re still a Little Daoist Nun!¡± Dong Xi did not bother to argue with him and asked with a serious expression, ¡°Second Senior Brother, a sneak attack from behind is not a righteous act.¡± Song Qingfeng looked at her and smiled. ¡°This isn¡¯t a sneak attack. I went through great trouble bringing you the token. Also¡­ you might have some misunderstanding about me. I¡¯m not a gentleman.¡± Dong Xi looked at the token hanging in the air and looked up at Song Qingfeng, ¡°Senior brother, is the token for me?¡± This was the identity token of an inner sect disciple! ¡°Who else could it be if not for you? Take it and see for yourself, your name is on it,¡± Song Qingfeng said. Only then did Dong Xi reach out to take the token. The white jade token felt warm to the touch, and the words ¡®Ningtian Sect¡¯ appeared on it. Dong Xi turned it over and looked at the back, but there was nothing. She was puzzled. Seeing this, Song Qingfengughed, ¡°Junior Sister, bind it with blood.¡± Chapter 55 - Maybe She’s Just a Study Companion

Dong Xi¡¯s features scrunched up. Why did everything in this Immortal cultivation world have to do with blood? She was only ten years old. Using so much blood, could she still hold on? Dong Xi gritted her teeth and took out her white jade sword. Just as she was about to point it at his finger, Song Qingfeng shouted, ¡°Wait.¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng with confusion in her eyes. She was about to cut her finger, so why was this guy asking her to wait? Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s confused eyes and asked in surprise, ¡°You don¡¯t know how to take blood?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this taking blood?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± It turned out that there were still such ignorant people who did not even know how to take blood. He jumped down from the tree and instantly arrived in front of Dong Xi. ¡°It¡¯s just a simple gesture. Why did you have to be so ruthless? I didn¡¯t expect Junior Sister to be so cruel.¡± As he spoke, he made a hand seal, and a tiny drop of blood appeared on his fingertips. Dong Xi did not expect that it was possible to do so. She immediately followed suit, and as expected, a drop of blood appeared on her fingertip. She quickly dripped her blood into the white jade token. As soon as the blood entered the token, an ancient pattern suddenly appeared on the pure token. The words ¡®Ningtian Sect¡¯ seemed toe to life and flowed slowly. Dong Xi turned the token over again, and the two words ¡®Dong Xi¡¯ appeared on the back of the token. It was pretty, but why did they use white jade? Dong Xi did not think too much about it. In any case, the sect had made it, and it did not cost her any money. She hung the token on her waist and cupped his fists to song Qingfeng. ¡°Thank you, Second Senior Brother.¡± Her thanks were sincere. After all, this magic art had saved her from physical pain. Song Qingfeng looked at the drop of blood with a faint golden luster and flicked it to Dong Xi¡¯s forehead. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°From now on, you are my Little Junior Sister. This drop of blood is my gift to you.¡± Dong Xi was so frightened that she immediately touched the space between her eyebrows, but she could not feel anything. ¡°Who gives a drop of blood when they meet?¡± she asked in a low voice, frowning. Song Qingfeng sneered, but he did not exin. Dong Xi did not ask any more questions and instead asked the most important question. ¡°Senior Brother, from what you¡¯re saying, I¡¯m Master Lingxu¡¯sst disciple?¡± Dong Xi felt like a meat pie had fallen from the sky. But when he saw Song Qingfeng shake her head, her heart sank. She was done for. She had been happy for nothing. The next moment, she heard Song Qingfeng say, ¡°Two disciples.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. His eyes widened as he curiously asked, ¡°Two? Who¡¯s that?¡± Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Sword Sect, Chi Yan.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s mouth was wide open in surprise. Chi Yan! A genius with a spirit root value of 99 was actually standing at the same starting line as she was! Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Pack up now. I¡¯ll take you to the Spirit Cloud Peak.¡± Dong Xi did not have many things. She returned to her room and put everything into her storage bag in a few moments. Then, she ran out in a hurry. ¡°Senior Brother, let¡¯s go!¡± Even though the inner and outer sect were both from the Ningtian Sect, the treatment they received was like heaven and earth. Dong Xi had her own cave abode since he entered the Spirit Cloud Peak. Song Qingfeng pointed at the mountain not far away and said with sympathy, ¡°Master lives there,¡± When they entered the sect, they were free to choose their residence. Only Dong Xi had been assigned to stay here by their Master. In this ce, every move of the disciples would be seen by the Master, and there was no freedom to speak of. However, Dong Xi felt that it was not bad. As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first, and is closer to the Master. If she was more diligent in the future, she would always have a sense of existence. Although she was basically here to be Chi Yan¡¯s studypanion, she had to work hard on the inner paper and make a name for herself. Dong Xi followed behind Song Qingfeng and strolled around the cave, feeling very satisfied. No matter what, it was still two bedrooms, one living room, and a special training room. Compared to the small wooden house, it was already much more luxurious. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°There is a spirit gathering array here. It can help you with your future cultivation.¡± Dong Xi immediately focused her attention and felt the rich spiritual Qi in the air, and she almost burst into tears. The inner sect was originally close to the spirit vein, and with the spirit gathering formation, and with her useless body, she did not need to continue eating Spirit Restore Pills during the day. Song Qingfeng sensed her emotional fluctuation andughed, ¡°Alright, take a look for yourself. Remember to go there and pay respects to Master at dawn tomorrow.¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded obediently. Song Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, ¡°I believe that Master will also prepare a meeting gift for you, right?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was immediately excited and she could not control himself. Even if the things prepared by these big bosses were not good enough, it was enough for a good-for-nothing like her to make a fortune. She looked up at Song Qingfeng and asked with a money-grubbing face, ¡°Many thanks for Senior Brother¡¯s advice! I¡¯ll definitely be there earlier tomorrow!¡± Chapter 56 - Little Pitiable

After Song Qingfeng left, Dong Xi opened up the restrictions of the cave abode and took out the things he had packed in the wooden house from his storage bag. After tidying up the cave abode, he took out hismunication jade slip and sent a message to Ke Xin. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve been chosen by spiritual Master Lingxu!¡± Dong Xi said. Ke Xin replied within seconds, and Dong Xi shrieked the moment she opened the message. He was instantly shocked. Then, information poured in like beans, one after another. ¡°Really?¡± Ke Xin asked. ¡°Do you need to be so awesome?¡± ¡°I heard that Master Lingxu has already taken Chi Yan from the Sword Sect?¡± ¡°Where are you? Could it be that someone reced your spot? Can you immediately ask if you can still enter the inner sect?¡± ¡­ Dong Xi was afraid that if her reply was too slow, who knew what kind of image this sister would imagine, so she immediately replied, ¡°No, don¡¯t make wild guesses. Master Lingxu took in two disciples this time, and I¡¯m one of them. But I guess I¡¯m just a studypanion. After all, Chi Yan and I are about the same age.¡± Ke Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the news. ¡°A studypanion is not bad. It¡¯s better to be in the inner sect than the outer sect. It won¡¯t be so easy for us sisters to meet again in the future.¡± Dong Xi could hear the destion in her voice andforted her, ¡°Is there another sect selection in a year? Your aptitude is better than mine, and you¡¯re one of the top disciples in the outer sect. If you work hard, it¡¯s only a matter of time before you enter the inner sect.¡± Ke Xin felt it was rather funny to hear such mature wordsing out of her young and tender voice. ¡°I know. You, on the other hand, have to take good care of yourself after you enter the inner sect.¡± Ke Xin had really tried her best, but she was still a 12-year-old child after all. Children were still very yful. When she thought about how Dong Xi had been chosen to enter the inner sect, she was indeed a little agitated. She had also made up her mind to cultivate properly. Dong Xi put away the jade slip and walked outside. There was a cluster of flowers outside the cave. Because of the rich spiritual Qi, every flower was extremely bright. There was a pond beside the cave. Dong Xi went up to check and found that it was actually running water! Does this mean she could take a bath? The sect had already set up restrictions around the cave. As long as it was activated, this would be her small world. Dong Xi was very satisfied. Immortal cultivation had given her two rooms, one living room, and even a garden. If it was in his previous life, she might not be able to afford it even after many years of work. She happily returned to the cave abode and entered the training room. There was a skylight at the top that allowed the moonlight to shine into the room. It was simply tailor-made. She sat in the spirit gathering array and began to cultivate. Time passed, and the night passed. The first ray of the morning sun shone into the room. Dong Xi had already finished washing up and was heading towards the mountain peak next door where Master Lingxu was. Dong Xi gathered spiritual energy on her feet and ran quickly. However, the hour was almost over, and Master Lingxu, Chi Yan, and the others had yet to see Dong Xi. ¡°Master, did that girl overslept?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. Liang Yan furrowed his brows. Since she had already chosen to cultivate, he had to teach this girl a lesson in the future. Master Lingxu was not angry, Instead, he smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. She¡¯s still young, so it¡¯s understandable that she¡¯s sleepy. It won¡¯t be like this when she¡¯s older.¡± He was usually very tolerant of talented disciples. Chi Yan, who was standing beside Liang Yan, was dressed in red. His waist-length hair was braided into small braids, and there were a few red feathers on her head. Hearing everyone¡¯s words, she also frowned. She wanted to say something, but she did not. Lingxu noticed Chi Yan¡¯s hesitation. ¡°Chi Yan, what do you want to say?¡± Chi Yan did not expect to be discovered by Lingxu. She bit her lip and took a step forward, bowing respectfully, ¡°Master, I¡¯m thinking that perhaps she came from her own cave, which is a bit far.¡± Her words stunned everyone. Chi Yan continued, ¡°I just came over and found that the distance between the peaks was quite far. Fortunately, I can fly, so I was able to arrive in time.¡± Lingxu understood this time. His disciples were all from aristocratic families. When their cultivation was low, their families had given them magic tools, so they did not need to walk at all. But Dong Xi, this unlucky child, hade from the mortal world and did not have any magic tools. He also did not know how to ride a flying sword, so she could only walk over. Song Qingfeng also reacted and disappeared, ¡°Master, I¡¯m going to pick up this poor little thing.¡± Liang Yan wanted to say that he would go by himself, but Song Qingfeng beat him to it. He could only stand there obediently. His master asked curiously, ¡°Has Qingfeng changed? Don¡¯t you dislike everyone?¡± Liang Yan shook his head. ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯re frank and straightforward. You¡¯ve always acted as you please. I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re like this.¡± Chapter 57 - Even Little Girls Hold Grudges

Master Lingxu did not ask any more questions. The harmony between the disciples was what he hoped for. Dong Xi was only halfway up the mountain. She was so tired that she could not walk, so she stopped to rest for a while. What was particrly ridiculous was that the mountain where her Master was located did not even have a path. She had to cut through all the thistles and thorns own along the way. It was a good thing that she had set off early today. Otherwise, she might not have been able to reach their Master¡¯s Immortal¡¯s cave even if it was dark. She raised her hand to touch her face, which had been scratched by a tree branch, and could not help but take a deep breath. It was too painful! Sje immediately circted his wood spiritual energy around the wound, and only then did the pain dissipate. ¡°So you¡¯re here.¡± A familiar voice came from above. Dong Xi raised her head and saw Song Qingfeng looking at her from the tree. He was dressed in green, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a folding fan. When he saw Dong Xi¡¯s face clearly, he immediately burst outughing. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Aaiyoyo, you are really pitiful. How did your face be like this? ¡± Dong Xi felt that he hade to see a joke, so she wiped her face with his sleeve. She did not expect that her face would be covered in blood and dust. Song Qingfeng could not stand it anymore. With a wave of his hand, Dong Xi floated up and flew to the top of the mountain. As soon as she arrived, the spirit power on her body suddenly dissipated, and Dong Xi fell into the pond again. Plop. Not bad, Song Qingfeng. This little girl also holds grudges. The noise outside the cave dwelling attracted the attention of the people inside. The moment they came out, they saw Dong Xi climbing out of the pond. Dong Xi had lotus leaves on her head, Her hair and clothes stuck to her body, and her face was even dirtier. There was no need to mention how disheveled she was. Chi Yan had been jealous of her Second Senior Brother for picking Dong Xi up personally, but now that he saw Dong Xi¡¯s appearance, she suddenly felt relieved. ¡°Song Qingfeng!¡± Master Lingxu was furious. With a sh of golden light, Song Qingfeng appeared in front of everyone. Lightly waving the folding fan in his hand, he still had a smile on his face, looking like a schr. ¡°Master, why have you called for me?¡± Master Lingxu¡¯s face was gloomy as he asked in a low voice, ¡°You went to wee Little Junior Sister like this?¡± Just now, he was happy that Song Qingfeng finally knew how to be friendly with his Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, but it turned out like this again! Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi, who was drenched, and made a cleaning gesture. ¡°Junior Sister is sweating a lot from climbing the mountain. This one will help her clean up.¡± Dong Xi lowered her head and rolled her eyes at Song Qingfeng, gritting her teeth. ¡°Thank you so much!¡± Her clothes were dry, and the marks on her face had disappeared. Only the cut was still on her face, and her hair was messy. Lingxu looked at the little girl who had just reached his waist, took out a porcin bottle, and threw it to her. ¡°This is Hibiscus Ointment. It¡¯s better not to leave any scars on a little girl¡¯s face.¡± Dong Xi was naturally very ambiguous as well. Just as she was about to catch the porcin bottle, Liang Yan took it directly into his hands. Liang Yan walked to her side and personally applied the ointment to her face. The moment his fingertips touched her cheek, Dong Xi felt as if she had been electrocuted, and she immediately felt unwell. Liang Yan took a step back instinctively and frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t move. The wound is on your face. You can¡¯t see it. I¡¯ll help you apply the medicine.¡± Dong Xi suppressed the urge to run away and gritted his teeth to stand still. The wound was not too big, so Liang Yan quickly applied the medicine. He closed the bottle and handed it to Dong Xi. He turned around and saw the faint smile on Song Qingfeng¡¯s face. Dong Xi felt a cooling sensation on her face, and the pain slowly dissipated. She immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.¡±Disciple Dong Xi thanks Master for the medicine.¡± Master Lingxu looked at the little girl in men¡¯s clothes in front of him and found it difficult to associate her with the girls he heard about in gossips. Master Lingxu sized up Dong Xi. While Dong Xi was in a daze, she suddenly realized that the little ck snake that had been on her arm had disappeared! Her heart immediately felt empty. It was not that she had a deep rtionship with the little ck snake, but that she had worked tirelessly to treat it every day, and now she had left without even saying goodbye. Hmph! When she became a Big Boss in the future, she would definitely catch the little ck snake and make it into salt and pepper snake, snake skin porridge! Just as Dong Xi was fantasizing, Master Lingxu asked, ¡°Did you climb up from the bottom of the mountain?¡± Dong Xi raised her head and looked at the pair of slightly chaotic eyes with a trace of curiosity. Dong Xi nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Master, there¡¯s no road on your mountain. I¡¯ve cut through the thorns and paved a way for myself!¡± She even felt a little proud when she spoke of clearing the way. ¡°Very good,¡± Master Lingxu said with a smile. Dong Xi looked at Chi Yan beside him. Just by standing there, she allowed the fire spiritual Qi between heaven and earth to automatically enter her body. Sure enough, a spirit root value of 99 was different. Inparison, Dong Xi¡¯s spirit root was like a broken piece of junk, and she could not absorb any spiritual Qi at all. Chapter 58 - Envious

Chapter 58: Envious

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Dong Xi¡¯s undisguised envy also attracted Chi Yan¡¯s attention. She was stunned for a moment, then she nodded as a greeting. ¡°Let¡¯s go in,¡± Master Lingxu said. Master Lingxu¡¯s cave abode was very simple. There was a bed, a futon, and a table made of some unknown material. There was nothing else. The huge cave abode did not feel crowded at all with four disciples standing there. They were first introduced to their Senior Brothers, including the Eldest Senior Brother Liang Yan, the Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng, and the Third Senior Brother Shang Guanxiong. After the Third Senior Brother broke through to the Golden Core stage, his state of mind had always been unstable, and he had already entered the mortal world to train. ¡°Of the two of you, Dong Xi is younger, and her cultivation is weaker, huh? You¡¯re already at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage?¡± Master Lingxu was very surprised. As soon as he said this, Chi Yan immediately looked at Dong Xi. When she found out that the two of them had been selected together, she had asked someone to find out. She had three spirit roots, and all of them were very low in value. The only high-valued one was the fire spiritual root, which was only 71. The other two were even lower. But now, she was also at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage? How did she cultivate? What Chi Yan wanted to know was not what Master Lingxu wanted to know at all. He smiled and said, ¡°Very good, very good. Although their cultivation levels are the same, Chi Yan is slightly older. In the future, she will be the fourth, and Dong Xi will be the youngest fifth!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The two of them responded at the same time. Master Lingxu took out a Spirit Testing Stone.¡±I¡¯ll re-test your aptitude.¡± His Spirit Testing Stone looked much more exquisite than the one that was used when she first entered the sect, so Chi Yan did not let her take the lead. In an instant, the Spirit Testing Stone glowed red. As expected of a 99 spirit root. Chi Yan¡¯s face revealed a tsundere expression, and then she retreated. Dong Xi immediately stepped forward as well, but the light was very weak, and the result was very unremarkable. Master Lingxu said, ¡°Fire, earth, and wood, three spirit roots. 73, 59, 51. No one had any reaction. This amount of root value was indeed a little trash. However, Dong Xi was a little dazed. She had already memorized the root value and attributes, so it was impossible for it to be wrong. When she had first entered the sect, her Senior Brother had clearly said that the root value was 71,57, and 49. Could it be that the previous testing was wrong? Chi Yan also thought so. Of course, in Chi Yan¡¯s eyes, whether it was 71 or 73, they were all trash. With this thought, Chi Yan¡¯s proud expression increased. Master Lingxu did not show any emotional fluctuations. He took back the Spirit Testing Stone and let them cultivate with their Eldest Senior Brother. The matter of refining pills could not be rushed. They should at least wait until they were at the third level of the Qi Refinement stage. This was how things should have been settled. However, Song Qingfeng, who was standing aside doing nothing, suddenly said, ¡°Master, you gave the two Junior Sisters to Eldest Senior Brother? Shouldn¡¯t I take one? Isn¡¯t it too tiring for Eldest Senior Brother to take care of two people by himself?¡± Master Lingxu looked at him in surprise. ¡°Eh? You can still have such thoughts?¡± ¡°Master, why don¡¯t you let me take Little Junior Sister?¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. Liang Yan frowned, and Master Lingxu looked at Dong Xi. ¡°Little Xi, what do you think?¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded. Although Song Qingfeng was not very reliable, the trauma left behind by her Eldest Senior Brother was too great. She was afraid that she would not be able to ovee her Mental Demons if she followed her Eldest Senior Brother. Seeing that Dong Xi had agreed, Liang Yan¡¯s frown deepened. ¡°If Second Senior Brother pranks you like this, Won¡¯t you be angry?¡± Master Lingxu stroked his beard. Hearing master Ling Xu¡¯s question, Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi with interest. ¡°I¡¯m not angry,¡± Dong Xi said slowly while gritting her teeth. Seeing that Dong Xi did not agree, Master Lingxu asked to the end, ¡°Oh? How could you not be angry? Xiao Xi, you¡¯re so generous?¡± Dong Xi realized that everyone was looking at her, so she made up a story. ¡°Because Second Senior Brother is handsome.¡± Master Lingxuughed out loud. Chi Yan also looked at Dong Xi in surprise, not understanding why she dared to say that. Song Qingfeng was even more satisfied with this answer. He was in a very good mood. Only Liang Yan did not show any emotion. Master Lingxu continued, ¡°In that case, Little Xi will follow Song Qingfeng. Chi Yan will follow Liang Yan. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll answer your questions on the 16th of every month. You may leave now.¡± Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng bowed respectfully and left. Dong Xi immediately followed. After leaving the cave, Dong Xi asked in a low voice, ¡°Second Senior Brother, didn¡¯t you say that Master will give me a meeting gift?¡± Although it was soft, this was still Master Lingxu¡¯s territory after all, how could he not hear it? At first, he was stunned, and then the veins on his forehead bulged. This little girl had just entered the sect, but she was already getting stuff from him. He really did prepare a meeting gift, but he just forgot¡­ It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to give it to them. Chapter 59 - Magic Tool

Chapter 59: Magic Tool

Dong Xi had just finished asking when she felt a pain in the back of her head. He subconsciously turned around. A storage ring appeared out of thin air in front of her. Chi Yan also had a storage ring in front of her, but it was obvious that she was the only one who was knocked by the ring. Dong Xi smiled awkwardly. It seemed that Master had heard everything she had said. Chi Yan put away the storage bag and nced at Dong Xi, only to see Dong Xi wearing the storage ring on her finger with a smile. Dong Xi bowed respectfully in the direction of the Immortal¡¯s cave and said loudly, ¡°Thank you for the reward, Master!¡± She had already secretly checked the storage ring that Master had given her. There was a little turtle in it. She did not know what it was for, but it must be something good. She did not know what Chi Yan got, and she did not dare to ask. Seeing Song Qingfeng fly away, Chi Yan transformed into her original form and flew away. Dong Xi let out a soft sigh. Just as she was about to run back, she saw Eldest Senior Brother, who had originally flown away, suddenly return. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Liang Yan standing in the air. ¡°Little Junior Sister,e up.¡± Dong Xi was a little frightened and had a conflicted expression. ¡°If you don¡¯te up now, you¡¯ll have to run back on your own,¡± Liang Yan said coldly with a frown. Dong Xi immediately shook her head. Running back and forth like this was too tiring, and her small body could not take it at all. However¡­ ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, can your sword move the two of us?¡± Dong Xi asked with some worry. Liang Yan suppressed his anger. ¡°Hurry up and get on.¡± Only then did Dong Xi dawdle to his side and jump to the tip of the sword, maintaining the furthest distance from Liang Yan. The sword was not even as wide as a foot, so Dong Xi could only stand on it with an awkward posture, barely maintaining her bnce. ¡°Stand firm,¡± Liang Yan said. As soon as he finished speaking, the sword rose up from the air. Dong Xi felt as if her life was hanging by a thread, and beneath her feet was an abyss. She had never been so afraid of heights. This should be the ¡®car racing¡¯ in the world of Immortal cultivators, right? However, the person standing in front of her was her Senior Brother. She did not dare to grab the corner of his clothes and could only sway in the wind, feeling wronged. The wind blew past her face, making her already messy hair even messier. The hair that hit her face felt like it was being cut by knives. She had no choice but to stretch her head forward and hide behind Eldest Senior Brother. At this moment, Dong Xi was especially reminiscing about her Senior Brother Rui Xiang whom she had met when she first entered the sect. Look at how considerate he was, even knowing to add a protective barrier, unlike these two Senior Brothers from the same sect. She was so scared now that she might develop a phobia of flying. No wonder these two Senior Brothers were still single even though they were hundreds of years old. They deserved it! She immediately used the pitifully small amount of spiritual energy in her body to protect her face. If she continued to blow, her facial features would be blown away. Thanks to the short distance between the two peaks, Liang Yan was able to quickly send Dong Xi to the entrance of the cave. He jumped down, only to find Dong Xi standing on top with a disheveled expression. He furrowed his brows and suddenly realized that he had only covered himself with a protective shield and had forgotten about the girl behind him. He coughed awkwardly. ¡°We¡¯re here. Come down.¡± Dong Xi, who had been blown numb, moved her lips, and an expression slowly appeared on her face. ¡°My legs are weak,¡± she said with a bitter smile. With a thought from Liang Yan, the sword beneath Dong Xi¡¯s feet was instantly retracted. Dong Xi immediately steadied herself, preventing himself from falling. She was just about toin when Liang Yan said coldly, ¡°Train your guts first before cultivating Immortality. Ovee it.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Dong Xi with his back view. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± She scratched her messy hair in anger and swore to herself that she would cultivate well! The sooner she reached Foundation Establishment, the sooner she would be able to ride a flying sword! She turned around and returned to her cave abode, activated the restriction, and took out the little turtle from the storage ring that Master had given her. Looking at the small turtle shell in her hand, he was very curious. ¡°What is this?¡± She tried to inject spiritual energy into it, and the little turtle grew quickly. It stopped when it was the size of a wooden basin and floated in the air. The golden patterns on the turtle shell glowed, and Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. This is a magic tool for flying. Master, this old man, is really good. He gives me whatever I need! She immediately stood on it and tried to control the turtle to move slowly, but the turtle quickly returned to its original form, and she fell to the ground. This broken thing actually consumed so much spiritual energy! He ate a Spirit Restore Pill and continued trying. After a few tries, she realized that the bigger the turtle was, the more energy it consumed. Based on her current cultivation, she could only maintain the size of a palm if she wanted to fly from her ce to her Master¡¯s cave. She remained silent and secretly made up her mind to cultivate properly. When she raised her head, she discovered that the little ck snake was actually lying on the little turtle! Chapter 60 - Black Tortoise?

Chapter 60: ck Tortoise?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Eh? There¡¯s actually a snake on the turtle¡¯s back? Could this be the legendary Xuanwu? Xuanwu was a mythical creature in the Chinese constetion, also known as the ck Tortoise. However, upon closer inspection, this little ck snake looked very familiar. It seemed to be the one that she lost? Dong Xi was currently thinking, could it be that the little ck snake did not leave on its own, but that she had left the little ck snake at home when she went out? But that was not right either. The little ck snake was usually stuck to her body and could not be removed no matter what. It seemed that he hade down on his own. Dong Xi thought for a while and immediately reached out to take the little ck snake from the turtle¡¯s back. She smiled and guessed, ¡°I guess you¡¯re afraid of seeing my Master?¡± The little ck snake did not make a sound, nor did it move. It justy on her hand and did not pay any attention to her. Dong Xi was not going to let this go. She immediately reached out to pick up the little turtle and walked out. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take you to find Master.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, she felt the little ck snake that was wrapped around her hand suddenly disappear. She stopped in her tracks and hurriedly looked around. She saw the little ck snake on the bed. Dong Xi was furious. As expected, people with low cultivation have no human rights. A little snake dares to y tricks on me! Su Cheng did not know what human rights were. He only knew that this human girl¡¯s spiritual energy could heal his injuries. There was poison in his body, and ordinary healing spells were useless. He did not know what kind of spirit body she had, but her spiritual energy had such a special effect. He now realized that this human girl was a ruthless person. She did not sleep or rest, and was even more hardworking than he was back then. Just this point alone made him admire her. In the future, when this human girl grew up, she would definitely be a big shot. Dong Xi frowned as she pounced at the little ck snake, but in the end, she pounced on nothing. After a few times, she recognized the reality. She could not catch this little ck snake at all, or rather, this little ck snake was not as harmless as it looked. In the end, Dong Xi could only give up. She picked up the White Jade Sword and began to practice the basic sword moves in the courtyard. She did not return to the training room until sunset. She had stayed at the second level of Qi Refinement for a long time. Her Du Meridian was just a little bit away frompleting the tempering. In a few days, she would be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refinement. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in cultivation. She felt the changes in her body and was very pleased. The spirit gathering array was indeed useful. Compared to when she was in the outer sect, her cultivation speed had at least doubled. While she was cultivating, she suddenly felt that the spiritual energy seemed to have be less and less. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a slender figure lying on her bed. The man¡¯s upper body was bare, and his long hair was spread over his body. His lower body was a thick ck snake tail, and the scales on the snake tail gave off a sharp and cold light. Dong Xi¡¯s consciousness instantly became highly focused, and she stood up in a panic. ¡°Litte¡­ snake¡­¡± She pointed at Su Cheng, her fingers trembling. Su Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xi with a sharp gaze. Dong Xi felt a chill on her back, as if she was being watched as prey. There was nothing wrong with this feeling. After all, she was indeed prey. After taking a few steps back, she heard the man¡¯s cold voice ring out in the dark night, ¡°Turn around.¡± Dong Xi obeyed instinctively and turned around obediently. Suddenly, she remembered that this was not her cave abode, and her Master was on the neighboring mountain peak. Why would she be threatened by a snake? She turned around and saw that the man had put on a robe. Therge robe covered the snake¡¯s tail. He was lyingzily on the bed as if he had no bones. His snake tail was huge, and a small section of it was even coiled into a circle. With a slight movement, his hair fell from his shoulders, revealing his strong chest. This lively scene made Dong Xi swallow her saliva. Quietly swallowing her saliva, stammered, ¡°Y-you¡­ are¡­ are the little ck snake?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Su Cheng said casually. His voice was low and maic, making Dong Xi feel as if her ears were pregnant. ¡°Your nose is bleeding,¡± Su Cheng reminded her. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly touched her nose and felt something wet, causing her face to instantly turn red. Su Cheng sat up, his strong and sharp snake tail rolled Dong Xi up and threw her outside. All the restrictions seemed to have disappeared. Dong Xi did not even have time to think before she already arrived in the courtyard, and a voice came.¡± Go and wash up, it¡¯s so dirty.¡± Dong Xi looked at the entrance of the Immortal¡¯s cave in silence. At this moment, she felt like a husband who had just returned home from work and had not taken a shower. Just as she was about to go to bed, she was chased out by her wife to take a shower. She was speechless. This was clearly her own Immortal¡¯s cave, so what did it have to do with the little snake whether she was dirty or not? However, a nosebleed was still a little embarrassing. She walked to the pond to wash her face and used the cold water to pat her forehead. She felt the heat in her heart cool down, and she heaved a sigh of relief. Never in her dreams would she have thought that the little ck snake she had saved would turn out to be a handsome man. If it was in the past, she would have scoffed at the mention of such fairy tales. Chapter 61 - Don’t Ask What You Shouldn’t Ask

Chapter 61: Don¡¯t Ask What You Shouldn¡¯t Ask

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Now that she had personally seen such stunning beauty, Dong Xi finally realized how shallow she had been in the past. His eyes were so deep that they seemed to have a kind of soul-stealing effect. At night, she did not even dare to enter the house. She sat cross-legged by the pond to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind. It was not until the moon disappeared that she regained her calm and returned to the cave. The beautiful man who was originally on the bed had also changed back to the appearance of the little ck snake. Dong Xi, who had mentally prepared herself, saw that he had be a small ck snake and heaved a sigh of relief. However, she did not dare to take it back. What kind of joke was this? although the lower half of such a beautiful man¡¯s body was a snake¡¯s tail, if she were to y with it, wouldn¡¯t that be a little lecherous? ¡°You¡¯re already able to transform now?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°What¡¯s your cultivation level?¡± A demon that could take human form could be said to be a great demon. He could easily kill her with a move of his finger. From the looks of it, she was not the one who caused the little ck snake¡¯s injury. She actually had the guts to stay with the little ck snake for so long? If she had known earlier, she would not have dared to pick up the little ck snake back then, even if she had the courage of a bear. Su Cheng saw that she was so sensiblest night and did not dare to enter the house. He said with his divine sense, ¡°Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s curiosity was immediately suppressed. She took a few steps back to keep her distance from the bed. ¡°I won¡¯t ask anymore. You can rest.¡± She picked up the White Jade Sword and walked out of the cave. As soon as she stepped out, a voice transmission talisman flew over. Dong Xi immediately caught it, and Song Qingfeng¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Go to the Cultivation Techniques Hall on Mengxuan Peak and choose a cultivation technique. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, just look for me.¡± ¡°Mengxuan Peak?¡± Dong Xi was confused. Where was this mountain peak? Fortunately, Song Qingfeng was not that unreliable. When the voice transmission talisman burned out, he drew a pattern. Dong Xi looked at it for a long time before he realized that this was the map of the Ningtian Sect. She subconsciously wanted to take out her phone to take a picture, but when she touched her waist, she came back to her senses. This was the cultivation world. There was no phone in the cultivation world, but a photostone. However, she did not have one, so she could only remember it with her brain. Every sect in the Ningtian Sect had many peaks, and there were many secondary peaks around the main peak. The map gradually disappeared, and it was impossible for her to remember everything. She could only remember the road to Mengxuan Peak first. When it finally dissipated, Dong Xi sighed. It seemed that the next time she went to the Points Hall, she should ask if there was a map of the sect. She took out the little turtle, injected her spiritual Qi into it, and stepped on it when it was the size of a palm. She was a little afraid of heights, and the turtle was small, so she was afraid that she would fall down. She used her spiritual energy to firmly attach to the turtle, and she also had to control the flying height. The moment she left the ground, Dong Xi was still a little excited. To think that one day, she could really fly. In her previous world, in order to resist gravity, they had tried everything they could, but the world of cultivators could do it with just spiritual energy. Even though she was flying slowly and low, she was still flying. As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she ran out of spiritual energy. Dong Xi sighed. She could only get down from the tortoise, put it away, and walk to Mengxual Peak¡¯s Cultivation Technique Hall. However, after walking for a while, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She seemed to have been to this ce before¡­ A dense forest, it seemed to be the ce that Rui Xiang sent her tost time? If she was still not sure, there was a que in front of the hall. ¡°Cultivation Techniques Hall?¡± Thest time she was here, she did not take a good look and thought it was the Cultivation Technique Hall. She did not think that there would be such a big difference with just a single word. Compared to this ce, the Cultivation Technique Hall outside was like a joke. It was no wonder that the people from the outer sect were trying so hard to enter the inner sect. The difference was huge! This time, she came from the inner sect, so no one stopped her and she sessfully walked to the front of the Cultivation Techniques Hall. The door of the main hall opened automatically, and she entered the main hall without hesitation. At this moment, Song Qingfeng suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell Dong Xi the password, so he immediately chased after her. However, he did not expect to only see Dong Xi¡¯s back view when he arrived anxiously. Song Qingfeng was confused. He could not understand how Dong Xi entered. This was Dong Xi¡¯s second time here. She followed the previous practice and knelt down in front of the portrait, kowtowing three times. The scene changed again, and he appeared in the same golden and resplendent room. She walked to the table and picked up the ¡®Guide to Cultivation Methods¡¯. He crossed her legs and closed her eyes. A golden light appeared in her mind. A sword also appeared in her hand, and she was still using the basic sword technique¡­ Although Dong Xi did not have a sea of consciousness, her spiritual power was much stronger than an ordinary child¡¯s. However, she still could not hold on for long. She opened her eyes and rubbed her aching head. She put the manual back on the table, wiped the futon and other things clean, and left the room.

Chapter 62: Senior Brother Is Here

The sky outside the Cultivation Techniques Hall was dark, as if the wind wasing. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi had almost recovered. She immediately took out the turtle and inserted her spiritual Qi, stepping on it. However, when she was halfway there, the sky turned darker and a storm came. The spiritual Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s body could only support the tortoise¡¯s flight, but she could not protect herself. The strong wind whistled, and it was about to blow down. Dong Xi gave up struggling and wrapped herself up with the remaining spiritual Qi. She closed her eyes, hoping that it would not be particrly painful when she fell. The expected pain did not appear. Instead, he felt very soft, even the storm was blocked. Dong Xi was puzzled. She opened her eyes and saw a sh of pure white. This is a feather? When the crane¡¯s cry entered Dong Xi¡¯s ears, she immediately understood. She was very surprised and said happily, ¡°Senior Brother is here!¡± Another cry of a crane. Dong Xi could also hear the joy in the cry. Rui Xiang spread his wings and flew high, bringing Dong Xi to the clouds. Rui Xiang¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s mind, ¡°Junior Sister! Where are you going? I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Dong Xi was overjoyed. Her two Senior Brothers should learn from Rui Xiang. This was how a Senior Brother should be! ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m going to Lingxu Peak!¡± Dong Xi said. Rui Xiang said, ¡°That¡¯s Master Lingxuz¡¯s cave, right? Outer sect disciples can¡¯t go there as they please.¡± Dong Xi guessed that he probably did not know that she had already entered the inner sect. ¡°Senior Brother, I was just epted as Master Lingxu¡¯sst disciple a few days ago.¡± Rui Xiang¡¯s speed was very fast, and she soon arrived at Lingxu Peak. Following Dong Xi¡¯s instructions, he flew to the outside of the Immortal¡¯s cave and stopped. Only then did he return to his original form and said with some dissatisfaction, ¡°Junior Sister, why didn¡¯t you inform me of such a happy event? I was still thinking about how you¡¯ve been these past few days!¡± Dong Xi looked at his dissatisfied expression. His facial features were all scrunched up, as if she had done something particrly wrong. She immediately cupped her fists and said, ¡°Senior Brother, I was also suddenly brought here. I didn¡¯t react in time, so I didn¡¯t tell you. Please don¡¯t be angry, okay? I¡¯ll treat Senior Brother to a good meal next month after I get my allowance!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not angry, I¡¯m just afraid that you don¡¯t remember me.¡± He did not have many friends, and his Senior and Junior Brothers of simr age all said behind his back that he was stupid, so not many people were willing to y with him. ¡°How could I forget?¡± Dong Xi immediately replied. Senior Brother is so good, I will definitely remember you!¡± Dong Xi had been quite busy recently, and did not have the time to look for Rui Xiang. Plus, they had only met once, so it was not good to trouble him often. When Rui Xiang heard this, he was very satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face again. ¡°The next time youe, just call me with your feather and I¡¯lle and pick you up! That little bit of spiritual energy of yours isn¡¯t enough, you¡¯ll fall easily and get injured!¡± The two of them were chatting when Song Qingfeng suddenly appeared. He looked at the two children chattering and said, ¡°No wonder she was gone for so long. She¡¯s busy ying with this guy.¡± That tone, it was as if Dong Xi had an affair behind his back! Rui Xiang also knew Song Qingfeng. Hearing his words, he frowned and said seriously, ¡°Senior Brother Song Qingfeng, Junior Sister is not ying with me. She almost fell down just now. I saw it, so I picked her up and sent her.¡± Song Qingfengughed and looked at Dong Xi in surprise, ¡°What? Falling down? Little Daoist Nun, you¡¯re really amazing!¡± Dong Xi immediately felt a bit angry. She knew that her cultivation was low, but she was still very unhappy after being scolded like this. Dong Xi said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes. My cultivation is indeed low. Next time, I¡¯ll just walk there. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± No matter how good Lingxu Peak was, it would not be good with these two Senior Brothers! Song Qingfeng was more than 100 years old, how could he not hear the dissatisfaction in her voice? ¡°You¡¯re so young, yet you have such a bad temper,¡± he chuckled. He casually took out something and threw it to Dong Xi, ¡°Here, I used to use this when my cultivation was low. You can have it and y with it.¡± Dong Xi subconsciously reached out and caught it. It was a green leaf. She clicked her tongue. She did not know how to describe it. Wasn¡¯t this just giving her a p and then a date? Song Qingfeng did not mind and continued, ¡°This is a magic tool made by Leiye. There¡¯s an array on it. You just need to put in five low-grade spirit stones to fly from here to the Cultivation Techniques Hall and back.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up, and the resentment in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. She even wanted to shout, ¡®Long live Senior Brother!¡¯ This magical tool was like an in-game microtransaction purchase. Five low-grade spirit stones was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either. After a long time, an ordinary person would not be able to withstand it, right?

Chapter 63: Returning Kindness With Enmity

¡°Is there one that doesn¡¯t need spirit stones¡­¡± Dong Xi said in a low voice, and Song Qingfeng heard it. Song Qingfeng knocked her head with his fan, ¡°You don¡¯t want to use spiritual energy, and you don¡¯t even want to use spirit stones, how can there be such a good thing? Do you think I don¡¯t know?st month, Eldest Senior Brother helped you refine ten cauldrons of pills.¡± Dong Xi coughed a few times in embarrassment and did not speak. ¡°Did you find a cultivation technique in the Cultivation Techniques Hall today?¡± Song Qingfeng continued to ask. Dong Xi looked up at Song Qingfeng in a daze, ¡°Cultivation technique? Do you have any cultivation techniques?¡± She only saw a ¡®Guide to Cultivation Methods¡¯. Currently, this manual only taught a Dharma seal and a basic sword technique. ¡°Didn¡¯t you already entered?¡± Song Qingfeng frowned. ¡°That¡¯s right, I went in.¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded. Song Qingfeng asked, ¡°Since you¡¯ve entered, you haven¡¯t found a suitable one among all the techniques?¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s confused face, Song Qingfeng asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the cultivation technique rack when you went in?¡± Seeing Dong Xi shake her head, he asked, ¡°Then what did you see inside?¡± ¡°It¡¯s an empty hall, not a single book.¡± Song Qingfeng thought for a while and guessed the reason. He sighed, ¡°It¡¯s probably because there¡¯s no password. You can go tomorrow and enter after you recite the password.¡± He told the password to Dong Xi, who memorized it a few times. After sending Song Qingfeng off, Rui Xiang quietly took out a storage bag and gave it to Dong Xi, ¡°Junior Sister, do you need this?¡± Dong Xi looked at his clear eyes and then at the storage bag in his hand. She received it curiously and was stunned when she opened it. The colorful stones in the storage bag were not spirit stones, but they looked like spirit stones. Everyone could absorb the spiritual Qi from the spirit stones they used, but not all of them. However, there was a type of spirit stone called the five elements spirit stone. For example, the gold spirit stone would allow the metal attribute to recover faster. Some formations also required spirit stones of the five elements, and they required a lot of them. Usually, a spirit stone of the five elements of simr quality could be exchanged for five spirit stones of the same quality. Rui Xiang¡¯s storage bag was almostpletely filled with spirit stones of the five elements, who knew where he got them from? Dong Xi felt like she was a pervert who was trying to deceive a child. Looking at the innocent Rui Xiang, she was too embarrassed to take it. ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s not these kinds of spirit stones.¡± ¡°Not even one is of use?¡± Rui Xiang was somewhat unhappy. Dong Xi nodded and could not help but ask, ¡°Senior Brother, where did you find so many spirit stones of the five elements?¡± Rui Xiang frowned and thought for a long time before saying with a confused expression, ¡°I can¡¯t remember either.¡± Dong Xi saw that his expression was not good, so she did not continue to ask, saying, ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m about to break through to the third level of the Qi Refinement stage, so I shouldn¡¯t have the time to look for you. When I reach the third level of the Qi Refinement stage, I¡¯lle and look for you!¡± Rui Xiang nodded his head. ¡°Alright! If there¡¯s anything, just call me with the feather.¡± Dong Xi watched as he returned to his original form and quickly disappeared into the horizon. She had to admit, she was really envious, no matter if it was Chi Yan or Rui Xiang, they could fly. The dark clouds were about toe, and the restrictions of the cave abode did not block the rain, so raindrops fell on Dong Xi¡¯s face. She immediately picked up the green leaf Song Qingfeng gave him and ran into the house. She entered the house, closed the stone door, and shook the rain off the green leaf. She looked up and saw the man with a snake as his bottom half lying on the bed. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± This snake demon was staying here and did not want to leave. He often appeared without wearing any clothes. His eyes were closed as if he was sleeping. Dong Xi did not dare to wake him up, in case she would be thrown out by him likest night. She went to the practice room without a sound. However, just as he passed by Su Cheng, the huge snake tail swept over again. She did not even have time to dodge and could only watch as the snake tail wrapped around her. Su Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xi with a cold gaze. When he saw clearly that it was Dong Xi, he dispelled the idea of eating her. Dong Xi was wrapped by the snake¡¯s tail and almost cried out of fear. In the next second, Su Cheng¡¯s tail let go, and she fell onto the bed with a ¡®pa¡¯. Her undeveloped chest hit the bed, and she did not even have time to use her spiritual energy to block it. It was so painful that she gasped. Before she could even cry out in pain, Su Cheng¡¯s deep voice said again, ¡°Help me heal.¡± Dong Xi instantly fell silent. She supported himself with both hands and maintained her pained expression. Her mind was a little nk. She could not figure out how this little snake could say such cold words. Dong Xi endured the pain and sat up, loudlyining, ¡°Little ck! Don¡¯t you understand that if I¡¯m your savior?! If it wasn¡¯t for me, no matter how awesome you are, you would be dead by now! I didn¡¯t ask you to repay me for saving you, but you can¡¯t be repaying my kindness with enmity!¡± Chapter 64 - Crying in Anger

Chapter 64: Crying in Anger

Su Cheng raised his head and looked at Dong Xi with his cold vertical pupils. Dong Xi could not help but shiver. She opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly found that she could not say anything. Su Cheng raised his chin, revealing his superior jawline and throat. He was a little disdainful as he turned over and ced his injured tail on her. ¡°Healing.¡± The Tool, Dong Xi, did not know what to say. She finally understood what it meant to be at the mercy of others. She was weak, and even a little snake could bully her at will. Dong Rourou bullied her, so did her Senior Brother, and even Song Qingfeng bullied her. She was too pitiful! As she thought about it, the grievances she had suffered in the past few days seemed to erupt at this time. Tears flowed out as if they were free, and she could not stop them. She was so sad that she even forgot that she was holding Su Cheng¡¯s tail in her arms. The cold feeling was reallyfortable, and she kept wiping her tears on it. It was also the first time Su Cheng had seen such a scene. A little girl was crying pitifully. Su Cheng had killed countless cultivators and demon beasts in his life. As long as he made a move, lives would inevitably be lost. However, this was the first time he had encountered this tear attack. What puzzled Su Cheng the most was that when the girl¡¯s tears fell on the scales, there was a burning feeling. This feeling spread from his tail to his heart, making him very ufortable. He did not know how to vent the difort in his heart, so he could only roll Dong Xi in front of him instinctively. Dong Xi was crying very intensely when she was suddenly swept up into the air. She was also shocked. When she opened her eyes, he saw a pair of vertical pupils. The perfect and handsome face was right in front of her, and her reflection was still in her eyes. Dong Xi almost forgot to breathe. He stretched out his hand and touched Dong Xi¡¯s face gently. The cold temperature made her shiver uncontrobly. Dong Xi instinctively leaned back and leaned on his tail. His cold and deep voice was heard again, ¡°These are tears?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were filled with tears, and her throat felt ufortable. She wanted to say something, but she could not. Su Cheng squinted his eyes as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he slowly said, ¡°Snakes don¡¯t have tears.¡± Dong Xi did not understand why he had such an expression, but he was staring at her so intently, as if he wanted her to answer. Dong Xi pondered for a moment. No one knew what she was thinking, but she immediately said, ¡°That¡¯s not bad, you¡¯re pretty cool.¡± Su Cheng frowned, obviously unable to keep up with Dong Xi¡¯s train of thought. ¡°What?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then coughed a few times and forcibly exined, ¡°I¡¯m saying you¡¯re very powerful.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s brows rxed and he raised his chin. ¡°You little girl, you have a sweet mouth.¡± Dong Xi secretly observed his expression. With Su Cheng¡¯s cultivation, his five senses were extremely sharp. How could he not notice? Hmph! He snorted. ¡°It¡¯s not good to be sweet with your words. Continue to heal me.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± With him doing this, Dong Xi temporarily forgot about the grievances in her heart. Seeing that Su Cheng had no intention of hurting her, she became a little braver. ¡°I can heal you, but it will cost 10 lower spirit stones each time!¡± Although the price was not high, it was a long-term investment! Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, Dong Xi continued, ¡°My cultivation is not high, and I absorb spiritual Qi very slowly. Every time I heal you, I recover very slowly. Just 10 low-grade spiritual stones, you really won¡¯t lose out.¡± Su Cheng looked at the girl in front of him. If he transformed into his original form, she would be crushed to death. She was clearly very scared just now, but she had the courage to bargain here. He suddenly felt that it was a little funny. In his long life, only death and blood often apanied him. Perhaps this little girl was too weak, so he did not have any thoughts of killing her. Forget it, I¡¯ll just keep this girl by my side to relieve my boredom. Dong Xi watched as he slowly nodded. He actually agreed! Dong Xi¡¯s face revealed a happy expression. She immediately held onto his tail with both hands and struggled a few times before running out. Su Cheng did not stop her. She watched her slide down from the tail. The friction of the cloth was a little strange, like it was tickling. Dong Xi got up from the bed and cupped her fists to Su Cheng.¡±Since we¡¯ve already agreed, we can¡¯t go back on our word! I¡¯ll heal you now! Remember all the previous times and don¡¯t go back on your word!¡± She looked at Su Cheng¡¯s snake tail, and her eyes lit up. She rubbed her hands excitedly as if she had seen a mountain of spirit stones. She immediately put his hand on Su Cheng¡¯s tail and found that the scales on his tail were even bigger than Dong Xi¡¯s hand. She sighed to herself. As expected, she could not afford to offend him. Under the snake¡¯s tyrannical aura, Dong Xi could only close her eyes and mobilize the spiritual Qi in her Dantian to help treat Su Cheng¡¯s injuries. Chapter 65 - Inner Core

Chapter 65: Inner Core

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Dong Xi was about to break through to the third level of the Qi Refinement stage, and her control of spiritual energy was also much easier. She could even clearly sense the condition of the snake¡¯s body through her spiritual Qi. The wound was terrible. There was something ck on the bright red wound, which made the wound emit a disgusting smell. Dong Xi¡¯s hand was emitting light. The wood spiritual Qi seeped into the scale bit by bit, wrapping around the nearest ck wound and slowly healing it. After only seeing a little of the ck wound, Dong Xi was already covered in sweat. She retracted her hand and panted heavily. Su Cheng felt the poison in his body decrease. Even though it was only a small amount, he was still very happy and started wagging his tail. After suffering such a heavy injury, it would have taken about 100 years to recover. He did not expect that this human child¡¯s spiritual energy was strange, but her cultivation was a little low. Not only was the poison reduced in the areas that had been treated by her spiritual energy, but even the restrictive force from the Lightning Tribtion that had been left in the wound to bnce his power had loosened a little. Seeing that Dong Xi was so tired, he pondered for a moment, then took out an inner core from his storage space and threw it to Dong Xi. Dong Xiy paralyzed on the bed, thinking about whether to eat the Spirit Restore Pill or not. An inner core appeared in front of her. At first, she was stunned. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Su Cheng in surprise. Her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were filled with shock. ¡°Big, big snake! This¡­ This is your inner core?¡± Hearing her question, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He said disdainfully, ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re not content with what you¡¯ve got, and you dare to covet my inner core? Even if I gave it to you, you would still explode and die!¡± When Dong Xi heard him say this, she smiled awkwardly and realized that she had misunderstood. She reached out to catch the inner core that he threw over and felt the rich fire spiritual energy in it. Dong Xi looked around curiously and tried to absorb the spiritual Qi inside. But Su Cheng interrupted her. Dong Xi frowned and looked at Su Cheng with dissatisfaction. ¡°What do you mean? Are you going back on your word now? You¡¯ve already sent me off, and now you want me to go back?¡± Su Cheng closed his eyes and did not bother to argue with the little girl. He just said, ¡°You dare to directly absorb the inner core of a demon beast? You¡¯re quite bold.¡± Dong Xi had a confused look on her face. From what he said, it should be for her own good, right? It¡¯s fine. She did not understand, but someone else did. She quietly picked up themunication jade slip and sent a question on it, [Fellow Immortals, can the spiritual energy of a demon beast¡¯s inner core be directly absorbed?] Very quickly, a friendly Immortal friend replied. [It looks like a neer. Well, the inner core of a demon beast is more violent and not suitable for humans.] [It¡¯s easy for your body to explode!] [Even if you don¡¯t explode, your veins will be shattered!] [Unless it is refined into a pill, humans can not absorb it.] ¡­ Dong Xi finally understood. The inner core was indeed good, but it still needed to be refined into a medicinal pill. Of course, pill merchants had always been purchasing inner cores. The stronger the demon beast, the more valuable the inner core was. Just as Dong Xi was thinking about whether she should sell this inner core, she suddenly heard a soft breathing sounding from beside him. ¡°What are you holding?¡± There was a sudden question. Dong Xi was shocked and subconsciously turned around, but she directly hit Su Cheng¡¯s chin. This time, Dong Xi really cried out. It hurt! She felt as if a part of her skull had shriveled off. How was this a chin that a human should have? Just as she had this thought, Dong Xi immediately rejected it. She had almost forgotten that this guy was not human to begin with! Su Cheng did not feel much pain. The most important thing for a demon beast was its body. Even a high-grade spirit tool might not be able to break his scales. Otherwise, Su Cheng might have been gone after the attack from the eight sects and the Lightning Tribtion. Su Cheng did not feel anything from Dong Xi¡¯s bump. He only saw that the baby human was about to cry again. He immediatelyy back down and sneered, ¡°You¡¯re so fragile. You¡¯re crying after just a bump. You¡¯d better practice body cultivation!¡± Su Cheng was just casually talking about it, but Dong Xi¡¯s interest was instantly piqued and she immediately asked, ¡°Body cultivation? Can you teach me?¡± Su Cheng sized her up and said with a mocking expression,¡± You¡¯re a human, so you¡¯re not suitable for our snake race¡¯s method.¡± Dong Xi sighed in disappointment. Su Cheng saw her expression and continued, ¡°If you tell me what that thing was, I can also give you a human body cultivation technique.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately took out amunication jade slip. ¡°You mean this thing?¡± Su Cheng nodded, and Dong Xi immediately exined, ¡°This is amunication Jade slip. Once you leave your spirit breath on it. No matter where the other party is, you can send a message. You can also check on the conversations of other people in the Immortal world. There are even rewards for missions or something¡­¡± Chapter 66 - As Expected, Unreliable

As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng in disbelief. Such a great demon actually did not know about themunication jade slip? ¡°You¡¯ve never used this before?¡± asked Dong Xi. Su Cheng shook his head. In his life, he had almost no friends and no one he needed to contact at any time. Although thismunication jade slip looked interesting, it was useless to him. Dong Xi saw him like this and thought he was a country bumpkin who had juste out of the deep mountains and wild forests. Thinking that this thing was quite cheap, she casually said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy one for you the next time I go to the market.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s calm heart began to beat a little when he heard her say that. It had always been others who wanted to get something from him. No one had ever said that they wanted to give him anything, and she had not even mentioned any conditions. Even though this thing did not look very expensive. Su Cheng took out a jade slip and threw it to Dong Xi. He said indifferently, ¡°This is a human¡¯s body refining technique, I got it from a cultivator.¡± Dong Xi took the jade slip and ced it on her forehead. She sensed the contents and immediately knew how to temper her body. She jumped off the bed and cupped her hands at Su Cheng.¡±Big Snake! Thank you!¡± Seeing Su Cheng proudly raise his chin, Dong Xi continued, ¡°I don¡¯t have much spiritual energy left in my body. I can¡¯t continue the treatment today. I¡¯ll go out and practice my sword technique.¡± As soon as she went out, the light rain continued to fall, but it did not affect her sword practice. Normally, Dong Xi was very afraid of snakes, but facing Su Cheng, who only had half a snake¡¯s body, Dong Xi was not that afraid. Dong Xi knew herself very well. If Su Cheng did not have such a handsome face, how could she not be afraid? This was a typical example of someone who only cared about appearances. Once she saw a handsome face, she would forget the fear in her heart. Dong Xi held the White Jade Sword in her hand and made an opening gesture in the light rain. As soon as she made the move, her mind automatically blocked all distracting thoughts, leaving only one word: Stab. The drizzling rain made the air a little sticky, and the sword that was thrust out was somewhat obstructed. Dong Xi had also discovered that there was a slight difference between her movements and her spirit, and had promptly made adjustments. Su Cheng looked out of the window. The girl closed her eyes as she practice her sword, like a child ying a game. At this time, a powerful spiritual sense appeared, and Su Cheng quickly blocked himself. Su Cheng¡¯s cultivation realm was much higher than Lingxu¡¯s, so he naturally could not discover him. Lingxu¡¯s divine sensended on Dong Xi and discovered that she was actually connecting to Basic Sword Technique? Her movements were actually quite proper, and she had practiced the stabbing movement for an entire night. Lingxu also watched it the whole night. Lingxu was even a little confused. This should be the Alchemy Sect, right? Why were disciples more diligent in sword practice than in pill refining? The drizzling rain also continued for an entire night. Dong Xi was able to figure out the trajectory of her sword by relying on the viscosity of the air. The night passed quickly and they only stopped after dawn. Only then did Dong Xi realize that her arm was sore, as if she could not lift it at all. The spiritual energy that she restored for the night was converted into the wood attribute and circted around her arms. The aching feeling immediately disappeared. Dong Xi took out the leaf and five low-grade spirit stones that Song Qingfeng gave her yesterday. Seeing the leaf activate, she sat on it happily. He injected a little spiritual Qi into it, and the leaf flew up. Not only could this leaf fly, but it also had an external protective shield that could block the wind and rain. It was worthy of praise. Inparison, the spirit tool given by her Master depended on one¡¯s cultivation. A strong cultivation could carry many people, and the speed would also be particrly fast. Song Qingfeng¡¯s ride was a children¡¯s one. It could be used as long as you put spirit stones in it. At most, two people could ride it together, and it was not very fast. Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation level was low, so Song Qingfeng¡¯s gift was better for her. Seeing Dong Xi fly out, Lingxu could not help but sigh in his heart. No wonder this girl¡¯s cultivation level rose so quickly. She was using her sleeping time to cultivate. However¡­ That spirit tool looked very familiar. It should have been Song Qingfeng¡¯s, right? This time, Dong Xi did not go straight to the Cultivation Techniques Hall and kowtow. Instead, he stood at the door and recited themand Song Qingfeng had given her. Then, she found that the scene in the room waspletely different from before. The empty room was full of bookshelves, and she could not see the end of it. Dong Xi blinked his eyes in shock. He came back to his senses and went forward to check. The bookshelves were very tall, and there were many cultivation techniques that she could not reach. After walking around for a while, she finally decided on a cultivation technique bookshelf and randomly checked it one by one. Song Qingfeng had told her to choose a suitable one. When she asked what was suitable, Song Qingfeng only said, ¡°Choose as you please.¡± Hearing such a casual answer, Dong Xi¡¯s heart sank. There was only one sentence in her mind: Song Qingfeng is indeed unreliable. Chapter 67 - Cultivation Technique

Chapter 67: Cultivation Technique

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Dong Xi sat on the floor and took out hermunication jade slip to ask again. [Fellow Immortals, how should I choose my cultivation technique? Can I still exchange it after I¡¯ve chosen it?] Reality had proven that no matter which world he was in, there were still many enthusiastic people. Dong Xi did not have to wait long before someone replied. [Cultivation techniques are mutual. You choose cultivation techniques, and the cultivation techniques also choose you.] [A neer? If you want to change your cultivation technique, you have to disperse all your previous cultivation and start from scratch.] ¡­ Dong Xi had seen everyone¡¯s reply and understood a little, but she was still a little lost. What do you mean by you pick the cultivation method and the cultivation method also picks you? She scratched the back of her head in confusion. Forget it, she could not figure it out anyway. She would understand once she tried. Looking at the various cultivation techniques, Dong Xi casually picked one up and said, ¡°Little Leaf Technique?¡± Just by looking at the name, one could tell that it was a wood-type cultivation technique. When she flipped to the first page, it emitted a ball of green light. Her wood spirit root¡¯s aptitude was somewhat poor, and there seemed to be ayer of fog on her cultivation technique. No matter how Dong Xi flipped through it, she could not see what was written on it. ¡°So, this is how you choose?¡± Dong Xi muttered to herself. She put the cultivation technique back and carefully selected the fire-type cultivation technique again. This time, she saw the contents clearly. Dong Xi was instantly a little excited. Didn¡¯t she just find a cultivation technique that belonged to her? Unexpectedly, when she tried to circte her spiritual Qi ording to the instructions, the spiritual Qi had just gathered together when it instantly dissipated with a loud bang. Dong Xi¡¯s brows furrowed. Could it be that even the fire element could not work? Or could it be that this cultivation technique was not suitable? Dong Xi had no choice but to swap to another fire-type cultivation technique and continue trying. She failed a few times in a row, and the spiritual Qi would gather and dissipate. Dong Xi recalled that she still had an earth spirit root and immediately found an earth-type cultivation technique to try. However, it was still the same. This time, she really did not know what to do. If three attributes did not work, what kind of cultivation method would be suitable? Was she supposed to try the metal and water elements? Dong Xi sat on the floor until the sky turned dark, but no one came to ask her to go out. As the moonlight shone into the room, Dong Xi suddenly thought that since there was no one around, could she just not return to the cave? The return trip would cost five low-grade spirit stones, so it was better to keep the leaf and return after she was done with her cultivation. Compared to a cave abode, the sect¡¯s Cultivation Techniques Hall was probably a little safer, right? Dong Xi thought of the fact that the cave abode had already been upied by the big snake, so she decided to stay in the Cultivation Techniques Hall. She did not need to go back and suffer. After thinking it through, Dong Xi moved to the window and sat down. After making sure that the moonlight could shine on her, she looked at the full moon in the sky, closed his eyes in satisfaction, and began to cultivate. Although she did not have a spirit gathering array, she didn¡¯t have the big snake snatching the spiritual Qi, so she could absorb the spiritual Qi much faster. her Du Meridian had also beenpletely tempered, and her cultivation had broken through to the third level of the Qi refinement stage. Feeling the abundant spirit power in her body, Dong Xi was very satisfied. If she were to use the leaf to fly now, it would probably not cost five spirit stones. Dong Xi opened her eyes and found that her surroundings had changed. She did not know why she appeared in that golden room again. She lowered her head and found that the ¡®Guide to Cultivation Methods¡¯ was on herp. Dong Xi thought for a moment. The foundational cultivation technique could be used up to the fifth level of Qi Refinement stage. As for the cultivation technique, she only needed to choose it before the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Thinking of this, she was not in such a hurry. She began to practice her swordsmanship in peace. If she did not have enough spiritual power, she would sit down cross-legged to recover. When she recovered, she would open the Guide to Cultivation Methods again and enter the mysterious space. Dong Xi stayed here to cultivate for three months. One day, when she opened the Guide to Cultivation Methods again, she was surprised to see a golden figure sitting opposite her. The sword technique in his hand had also changed. Dong Xi was a little excited. It seemed that she had already learned all the basic sword techniques. Now, it was time to start learning official sword techniques! There were only seven moves in the Sword Art, and Dong Xi was dazzled. She barely managed to keep up with the two moves before slowly stopping. The seemingly simple swordsmanship was particrly tiring to practice. Dong Xi had just stopped when she was ejected out of the space. She immediately sat down cross-legged to rest. She thought that she should go back and take a look since she had left the cave abode for three months. He sat on the little leaf and returned to the cave. She jumped into the pond as soon as shended. After ying for a while, she was about to take off her clothes and take a bath when she suddenly remembered the big snake, which had been left in the room for three months. If she were to strip naked and was seen, how awkward would that be? Although her body had just passed her 11th birthday, her soul was almost 20. Sighing lightly, she went up to the shore from the pond, turned her spiritual energy into the fire attribute, and quickly circted it once. Her clothes were quickly dried. When she entered the cave abode, she was greeted by a cloud of dust. Dong Xi choked and sneezed as she hurriedly raised her hand to fan the dust in front of her. Chapter 68 - Are You Dead?

When the dust settled, Dong Xi finally saw the inside of the room clearly. There was someone lying on the bed. Dong Xi subconsciously closed the door and turned to look at the big snake on the bed. The snake¡¯s clothes were also covered in dust, and there were even cobwebs on its tail. It gave off a strong rancid smell, and Dong Xi was instantly shocked. C-could¡­ could the big snake¡­ could it be dead? If the big snake died in the room because she had not returned for three months, Dong Xi would feel guilty for the rest of her life. Dong Xi quietly stepped forward, raised her trembling hand, and put it under Su Cheng¡¯s nose. Before her hand could reach out, she felt a force throw her out and m her against the wall with a ¡®bang¡¯. Dong Xi was instantly wrapped in pain, feeling that her body was already in tatters. Dong Xi stood up and looked at the man on the bed. The dust on the man¡¯s body and the Immortal¡¯s cave had been cleaned. He sat up and looked at Dong Xi, saying in a cold voice, ¡°Oh? You still know toe back?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. She rubbed her aching waist, lowered her head, and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± After apologizing, Dong Xi frowned. Why did it seem wrong? She had gone out to cultivate, but why did he make it sound as if she was a scumbag man who had abandoned his wife and children to enjoy himself all day? ¡°There is no time in cultivation! It¡¯s only been three months, do you have to be so angry? I almost fell to my death!¡± Dong Xi mustered up her courage and said. Su Cheng detected Dong Xi¡¯s aura and had already retracted his strength. Otherwise, Dong Xi would have been a corpse by now. Su Cheng looked at the furious little girl and said coldly, ¡°Treat me.¡± ¡°Is this how you beg for help?¡± Dong Xi was instantly enraged. As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Xi felt the temperature around her drop rapidly, sessfully making her swallow what she was going to say. Dong Xi¡¯s mouth was wide open, and his body was tense. She was so scared that she almost forgot to breathe when she saw himing in front of her. Su Cheng looked down at Dong Xi from above. He leaned forward, and his long hair fell on Dong Xi¡¯s face. Dong Xi wanted to dodge, but she was grabbed by the chin. He stuck out his snake tongue, and his forked tongue came straight at her. Dong Xi was so scared that her whole body trembled. Su Cheng said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m begging? Hehe¡­¡± His tone was very slow, but every word seemed to hit Dong Xi¡¯s heart hard. She even had a feeling that the big snake would eat her up in the next second. Dong Xi was a little flustered. She had just broken through to the third level of the Qi Refinement stage, and she thought that she could fly? This huge snake had not been discovered by her Master. This guy either had some kind of concealment magic treasure or even her Master was no match for this huge snake! Dong Xi was flustered, and she begged incoherently, ¡°Please, please, you¡¯re a magnanimous man, don¡¯t lower yourself to my level, please!¡± In the face of absolute strength, Dong Xi could only beg for mercy. There was nothing to be ashamed of. After all, there was a huge difference between a human and a demon. Dong Xi was no match for the big snake. Su Cheng saw that the girl¡¯s face was pale from fright. He suddenly felt bored and let go. ¡°I have never begged anyone in my life,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°Letting you heal me is the only value in your life.¡± Dong Xi sat down again and raised her head to look at him. She told herself once again, ¡®This is a snake, a demon snake that could kill me at any time!¡¯ Su Cheng saw that the little girl was dumbfounded and felt even more bored. Heid back on his bed. These three months of rest were not without any effect. At the very least, he had recovered his cultivation to the Golden Core stage. However, the poison on the snake tail would require a lot of cultivation techniques to bepletely removed. Su Chengzily leaned against the headboard and ordered, ¡°Hurry up ande over here to treat me,¡± Dong Xi cursed countless times in his heart, but she did not dare to resist. She could only obediently step forward. Walking to the front of the snake, Dong Xi ced her hand on the scale and injected all the pitifully little spiritual Qi in her body into the snake¡¯s tail. As soon as she injected her spirit Qi, Su Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xi, asking, ¡°You¡¯ve already broken through?¡± Su Cheng blinked, and his thick and beautiful eyshes moved slightly. Dong Xi turned her head and kept telling herself that this was a snake, a snake that could crush her to death at any time! After her heart had calmed down, Dong Xi nodded lightly and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve broken through,¡± Su Cheng did not say anything after hearing the answer. When Dong Xi retracted her hand, he closed his eyes to feel the injuries in his body and suddenly stretched out his hand. Dong Xi was so scared that she cowered, but when she looked up, she saw a jade pendant in his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll give you this jade pendant, take it,¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. Chapter 69 - A Small Spirit Gathering Array

Chapter 69: A Small Spirit Gathering Array

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

At that time, in order to pass the Lightning Tribtion, many of Su Cheng¡¯s items were used to resist the lightning, and only these small things were left. Dong Xi took the jade pendant in his hand. She did not expect the jade pendant to be a small spirit gathering array! Dong Xi felt it and was immediately overjoyed. Although this spirit gathering array was small, its effect was even better than the one in the cave abode! With this, she would be able to cultivate anywhere in the future! Su Cheng could feel the change in her mood. He chuckled in his heart, turned around, and fell asleep again. When Dong Xi returned, Master Lingxu was the first to notice. He immediately sent a voice transmission talisman to Dong Xi and told her to head to the main peak. Dong Xi did not dare to dawdle. She immediately stopped and rode on her little leaf to the main peak. When she arrived, she found that other than her Third Senior Brother, the rest of her Senior and Junior Brothers were all present. Everyone had not seen Dong Xi for three months, so they naturally all looked over. Lingxu was the first to notice Dong Xi¡¯s breakthrough. He asked in surprise, ¡°You¡¯ve broken through to the third level of the Qi Refinement stage?¡± It had only been six months since she entered the sect, and she had already reached the third level of Qi Refinement? When Chi Yan heard this, the red feathers on her head stood up. She immediately looked at Dong Xi, her eyes full of shock. Chi Yan could not help but ask, ¡°How did you do it?¡± In the past few months, she had refined the Marrow-cleansing Gold that her master had given her and had long turned into a heavenly spirit root. Now, with a casual breath, there would be arge amount of spiritual energy entering her body. But even so, she was still a step away from reaching the Third level of the Qi Refinement stage. In contrast, Dong Xi was still a step ahead of her! Dong Xi did not know how to tell everyone. She could only say ambiguously, ¡°I just kept cultivating, and then, and then I broke through by myself¡­¡± Chi Yan would not believe her so easily, but Lingxu said, ¡°It seems to me that you all have to learn from Dong Xi! The rain didn¡¯t stop that day, but Little Xi practiced her swordsmanship all the way until dawn. She almost didn¡¯t eat or rest on a normal day, and she was always cultivating. If you guys were as hardworking as your Little Junior Sister, I daresay your cultivation wouldn¡¯t be so low!¡± As he spoke, Lingxu was satisfied with Dong Xi. Who said that his little disciple¡¯s aptitude was not good enough? Isn¡¯t this good? The stupid bird flies first was just an excuse. He had been cultivating for so many years, but he had never seen anyone with three spirit roots cultivate so quickly. Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng were both old foxes, and their expressions were indifferent. Only Chi Yan was a little ashamed by Lingxu¡¯s words. Chi Yan swore to himself that she would work hard on her cultivation when he returned. Lingxu continued to ask, ¡°Little Xi, I heard from Qingfeng that you went to the Cultivation Techniques Hall to choose a cultivation technique. You¡¯ve been there for three months. Did you find a suitable technique?¡± ¡°No, Master.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. When everyone heard Dong Xi say this, they were all very surprised! Among them, only Eldest Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother had looked for techniques in the Cultivation Techniques Hall. Song Qingfeng and Chi Yan had inherited techniques from their ancestors. There were many cultivation techniques in the Cultivation Techniques Hall, so it was impossible for there to be no suitable cultivation techniques in all three of the halls. Lingxu also sensed that something was wrong and immediately asked, ¡°Little Xi, what¡¯s going on?¡± Dong Xi also wanted to figure out the problem, so she exined that no matter what cultivation technique she learned, the spiritual Qi would dissipate. ¡°Not from any of the five elements?¡± Ling Xu asked. ¡°No,¡± Dong Xi immediately said. Lingxu frowned. ¡°Which n are you from?¡± If she could not cultivate techniques from any of the five elements, it might be because of the power of her bloodline that she needed to cultivate a special cultivation technique. When Dong Xi heard the word ¡®n¡¯, rm bells immediately rang in her heart. She had entered the sect in Dong Rourou¡¯s ce to begin with, so she naturally did not have the right to do so. ¡°It¡¯s just a small n in the mortal world,¡± Dong Xi said ambiguously. ¡°Do you still have cultivators at home?¡± Ling Xu continued to ask. ¡°No,¡± Dong Xi shook her head. In fact, there was a cultivator in the family, and that was Dong Rourou¡¯s older brother, Dong Tianya, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. But if she mentioned Dong Tianya¡¯s name, then what should they do when Dong Xi¡¯s identity was exposed? Now Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation speed was godly, it was better than the original owner who was still at the third level of Qi Refinement eight yearster. In any case, being chased out of the sect was still a road of death. ¡°This is really strange,¡± Lingxu said with a puzzled expression. Before he finished his words, Song Qingfeng took out a book and threw it to Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng said lightly, ¡°Try this.¡± Dong Xi immediately caught it. Lingxu came back to his senses and said in surprise, ¡°Qingfeng, that¡¯s your¡­¡± Before Lingxu could finish, Song Qingfeng said with a smile, ¡°Master, whether or not you can cultivate it depends on heaven¡¯s will. There¡¯s the choice of the cultivation technique, and also the choice of heaven¡¯s will. The disciple alone will have no choice. So it doesn¡¯t matter. There¡¯s no harm in letting Junior Sister try.¡± Chapter 70 - Innate Spirit Body

Chapter 70: Innate Spirit Body

Dong Xi looked at the cultivation technique in her hand. Therge words on the cover were somewhat eye-catching. Dong Xi took a closer look and finally understood the words on it. ¡®Eight-nine Cultivation Technique¡¯. The cultivation technique emitted a faint fluorescent light. Even if Dong Xi was a bumpkin who had not seen much of the world, she could also see that this cultivation technique was by no means an ordinary item. When she heard her Master ask Song Qingfeng this question, she could guess that this technique was passed down by Song Qingfeng¡¯s ancestors. Each family¡¯s cultivation technique was the foundation of the family and would not be easily passed on to outsiders. However, Song Qingfeng took it out and gave it to Dong Xi so casually. Regardless of whether Dong Xi could cultivate or not, his actions surprised Dong Xi. Not only was Dong Xi surprised, but Chi Yan and Liang Yan also looked at Song Qingfeng in shock. Chi Yan lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then, she gritted her teeth and took out a cultivation technique from her storage ring. She handed it to Dong Xi and said indifferently, ¡°Little Junior Sister, you can try this too.¡± Dong Xi looked at the cultivation technique that was suddenly handed over and was even more shocked than when Song Qingfeng took it out. Dong Xi said in surprise, ¡°Senior Sister, this¡­¡± Chi Yan raised her chin and said with her innate pride, ¡°Second Senior Brother is right. The cultivation technique chooses you, which means that it is fated with you. Our family¡¯s cultivation method has no attributes. Try it.¡± Dong Xi stared nkly at his ¡®two-faced¡¯ Senior Sister, which made Chi Yan feel a little embarrassed. She turned her head and said with a bit of an unyielding attitude, ¡°It¡¯s for you, just try it.¡± Seeing his disciples helping each other, Lingxu smiled. His disciples had good character. Master Lingxu said, ¡°Little Xi, your Senior Brothers and Sisters have good intentions. Just ept it. If you really cultivate their family¡¯s techniques, it¡¯s also fate. I¡¯ll give them an exnation. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Master Lingxu¡¯s words allowed Dong Xi to experience what it meant to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Dong Xi was so touched that she had even forgotten how Song Qingfeng had teased her. Dong Xi took a step forward and respectfully saluted everyone, ¡°Master, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, I will never forget this great kindness!¡± It was supposed to be a touching scene, but Song Qingfeng sneered and said, ¡°So what if you remember our kindness? It¡¯s better to cultivate properly and catch two deep sea flood dragons to be our mounts when you¡¯ve achieved great sess.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Although she was a bumpkin and had not seen much of the world, she was not an idiot, okay? From the name ¡®deep sea flood dragon¡¯, one could tell how outrageous the requirement was. However, Dong Xi still cupped his fists toward Song Qingfeng. Just when everyone thought that Dong Xi was going to agree shamelessly, she said, ¡°Even if I rely on the heavens and the earth, I am not a hero. If Senior Brother really wants the deep sea flood dragon as a mount, from tomorrow onwards, I will cheer for Senior Brother¡¯s cultivation so that you can achieve great sess as soon as possible. Then, Senior Brother can also catch two deep sea flood dragons for me, so that I, a good-for-nothing Junior Sister, can experience the joy of having a divine pet.¡± Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± Master Lingxu said with slight disdain, ¡°You guys must have ambition! All of you must have your Dao Hearts appraised and cultivate well. You¡¯ll definitely be able to achieve great things! At that time, my disciples will each send me two deep sea flood Dragons to pull my carriage, and I¡¯ll go to the eight great sects every day.¡± The innocent Chi Yan and Liang Yan, ¡°¡­¡± Lingxu looked at his disciples who were silent and waved his hand at them, ¡°Alright, enough chit-chat and focus on your cultivation. You can¡¯t embarrass me at the year-endpetition!¡± The few of them hurriedly saluted Master Lingxu. Just as they were about to leave, Master Lingxu said, ¡°Little Xi, you stay.¡± Dong Xi immediately stood obediently at the side. After everyone had left, Lingxu set up the restrictions again. He looked at Dong Xi with a serious expression and asked, ¡°Little Xi, tell me the truth. Do you have a special constitution? ¡± Dong Xi hesitated for a long time. She remembered the saying ¡®teacher for a day, father for life¡¯. Her honored Master would definitely not harm her. Dong Xi made up her mind and sighed. She looked up at Master Lingxu and said, ¡°Master, my body is indeed special. Only when I cultivate under the moonlight can I quickly absorb spiritual energy. In contrast, my cultivation speed during the day is very slow, even frustrating. So, I usually practice my sword during the day and meditate at night to cultivate¡­¡± After hearing this, Master Lingxu said with an even more solemn expression, ¡°You have an Innate Moon Spirit Body?¡± After Dong Xi heard this, she looked at Master Lingxu in confusion and asked, ¡°Master, what is this constitution?¡± Chapter 71 - Envious

Chapter 71: Envious

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Master Lingxu exined, ¡°The Innate Moon Spirit Body can absorb the moon¡¯s essence to cultivate under the moonlight. The high-level cultivation can be said to be advancing at a tremendous pace. It¡¯s a gift from the heavens!¡± As he spoke, Master Lingxu started to feel envious. At this time, some people were born with Innate Spirit Bodies and even Innate Dao Bodies. It was heaven-defying for ordinary people to cultivate, but these innate people followed the will of heaven. Once they started cultivating, it was as if the heavens were helping them. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up after hearing this. She immediately approached her master and asked, ¡°Master, then I¡¯m also a genius?¡± Master Lingxu looked at the little girl and noticed that her eyes had widened a lot. Her face was slightly red, and she was obviously overly excited. He raised his hand and gently stroked Dong Xi¡¯s head, sighing. Dong Xi instantly became nervous when she saw her Master sigh. As the old saying goes, one is not afraid of Master¡¯sughter, but afraid of Master¡¯s sigh. Then, she heard Master Lingxu say, ¡°Little Xi, Master has never seen the Innate Moon Spirit Body before. However, ording to the popr saying about the Innate Moon Spirit Body, the Innate Moon Spirit Body is rted to the water spirit root. Moreover, it¡¯s only a water spirit root. The root value is basically above 90. However, your¡­¡± There was no need to say more, Dong Xi already understood. She had three spirit roots, and none of them were water spirit roots. Master Lingxu¡¯s expression was a little awkward, and Dong Xi was also able to get over it. She smiled and said, ¡°Master, it¡¯s fine. No matter what kind of spirit body it is, my cultivation speed is not slow. It¡¯s pretty good.¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Daoist Lingxu was stunned for a moment before heughed and said, ¡°Although Little Xi is young, her heart is clear. On the contrary, it was I who fell into the chaos of overthinking. Little Xi, cultivate well. If you have any problems,e and find me.¡± Dong Xi hurriedly cupped her fists and left her Master¡¯s cave. Dong Xi returned to her cave abode. As soon as she opened the door, a foul smell swept out from the room. She frowned and subconsciously looked at the snake on the bed. It would have been fine if she had not looked, but the moment she did, she felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy blow. She was stunned on the spot. Su Cheng was lying on the bed. There were still traces of blood on the side of the bed. His head was lowered, his eyes were closed, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. His long ck hair was scattered on the side of the bed. No matter how she looked at it, it felt like this ce was a murder scene. Dong Xi did not have time to think. She dragged her trembling body and carefully ran to the bed. She reached out and touched the artery on Su Cheng¡¯s neck. However, the moment her fingertips touched Su Cheng, she did not even feel his pulse. In an instant, a force threw her out again. Dong Xi was thrown against the wall, and pain shot through her body. ¡°Bastard! In the future, even if you really die, I won¡¯t care!¡± Dong Xi said painfully. She wanted to rush up and eat Su Cheng right now. Su Cheng slowly sat up from the bed. His face was pale, and he had one hand on the bed, looking weak and fragile. Who could associate him with the ruthless person just now? Su Cheng lowered his head so that no one could see his expression. A trace of guilt shed through his vertical pupils, but it was instantly hidden. Dong Xi did not notice it at all. He had heard Dong Xi¡¯s words and knew that she was concerned about him. However, to him, defense was an instinct, and not intentional. Not to mention, the ce she had touched just now was the snake¡¯s weak point. Seeing that he did not apologize, Dong Xi became even angrier. She walked angrily to the training room and was just about to sit down to cultivate when he heard a deep and maic voice say, ¡°If you¡¯re not in a good mood, you might have Qi deviation.¡± Dong Xi told herself in her heart to ignore this big snake. However, when she heard the snake¡¯s words, she could not help but stand up from the ground. Dong Xi really could not hold back her anger! ¡°So what if I get Qi deviation?!¡± Dong Xi resentfully replied. ¡°It¡¯s better than being killed by you, right? You demons, are you all so ungrateful?¡± Su Cheng looked at the angry little girl and retorted, ¡°No.¡± Dong Xi wanted to say something, but she saw a smile on Su Cheng¡¯s face. Su Cheng just looked at the angry little girl and continued in a good mood, ¡°The other demon beasts aren¡¯t, but I am.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen someone as shameless as this. It was indeed true. Don¡¯t try to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. That person will not wake up, and you should never expect a shameless person to abide by any morals. As Dong Xi was organizing her words, Su Cheng used a cleaning spell to clean up the cave. ¡°Little girl,e over and treat me,¡± Su Cheng ordered. Chapter 72 - I’ll Also Throw You Out

Chapter 72: I¡¯ll Also Throw You Out

Dong Xi crossed her arms and snorted coldly without saying anything. Su Cheng was not a good-tempered person to begin with. He had already gathered the spiritual Qi in his palm, but he hesitated, and then the spiritual Qi dissipated. Su Cheng lowered his head and whispered, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to do that just now.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She looked at Su Cheng. Was this guy apologizing? ¡°I¡¯ll throw you out too, and then say I didn¡¯t do it on purpose, okay?¡± She bit her lip. Su Cheng thought about it and nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± Dong Xi was a little surprised. She turned her head and saw the snake¡¯s tail from his exposed chest, as well as the tip of the tail that was wagging back and forth. Dong Xi was very certain that even if she was ten times stronger, she would not be able to defeat the big snake! ¡°Just you wait,¡± Dong Xi muttered in a low voice, ¡°it¡¯s never toote for revenge! When I¡¯m sessful in my cultivation, I¡¯ll definitely take revenge!¡± Su Cheng leaned weakly against the wall and looked into Dong Xi¡¯s eyes with a smile on his face, making her a little dazed. However, his vicious tongue never disappointed Dong Xi. He said indifferently, ¡°A mantis trying to stop a chariot.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°!!¡± Su Cheng casually took out something and threw it to Dong Xi. He said calmly, ¡°Treat my injuries and this is yours.¡± Dong Xi held it in her hand and saw that it was a turtle shell-like object. Su Cheng exined, ¡°This is a protective spirit tool. It can withstand three heavy blows from anyone below the advanced level of the Nascent Soul stage. Take it to save your life.¡± Dong Xi was overjoyed when she heard this. Wasn¡¯t this three more lives? Alright, since he was so sincere, she would forgive him this once. Su Cheng did not have any other intentions when he gave her this. He was just afraid that she might identally kill this little girl one day¡­ Dong Xi had taken his money, so she will treat his injuries. She obediently ced her hand on his tail. She did not know that when other people transmigrated, the demon beasts they got were powerfulpanions or pets. She was the only one who picked up an ancestor for herself and had to serve him carefully! The spiritual Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian was about to be exhausted, so she stopped healing and let him have a good rest. Then, she turned around and went to the practice room. First, she took out hermunication jade slip and saw her friend¡¯s message. Ke Xin had asked her to go to the market with her. Dong Xi thought about how she had not seen her sister in a long time and agreed. She immediately arranged to meet the next day and collected all the message jade slips. Dong Xi took out two cultivation techniques. One was the Eight-nine Cultivation Technique and the other was Grand Sun mes. From the names, one could tell that they were very powerful cultivation techniques. Dong Xi¡¯s fire spirit root was the best, and she felt that she should cultivate the Grand Sun mes. Chi Yan had said that this cultivation method had no attribute, so she could only see if the cultivation technique would choose her. With an attitude of giving it a try, she opened the Grand Sun mes and followed the instructions on the cultivation method to integrate the spiritual energy into her blood. However, she did not expect that she could not hold on even at the first step. The cultivation method was too overbearing, and intense pain instantly came from her meridians. The blood in her body churned, and her face turned pale. She immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Dong Xi could not even maintain her meditating posture. She supported herself with both hands to prevent herself from lying down. Su Cheng also noticed the sound from the cultivation technique, and his expression changed instantly. In the next second, Dong Xi fell into a cold embrace, forming a sharp contrast with the hot spiritual Qi in her body. She shivered, and her mind became clearer. Before she could see what the snake was doing, she felt everything sh past her eyes. In an instant, she fell into the water. The icy cold pond water instantly submerged Dong Xi¡¯s entire body. The pain in her meridians was greatly alleviated, and Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she saw where he was, he instantly started to struggle. Why was it all water? She did not know how to swim! When she had just transmigrated, the feeling of imminent death struck her again. Dong Xi felt difficulty breathing and struggled with all her might, but she could only watch as he slowly sank to the depths of the pond¡­ Dong Xi tried to mobilize her spiritual Qi to stop herself from sinking, but it was of no use. Tears flowed out of her eyes and instantly melted into the cold pond. This huge snake! How did she offend him?! He actually wanted to kill her! Su Cheng threw Dong Xi into the pond and waited for a long time, but she did note back up. He thought she still had not recovered, so he did not care. After a while, he suddenly noticed that the aura in theke had be very weak, and he knew that something was wrong. Dong Xi felt her hand touch something very hard and cold. The next moment, her slender waist was hugged by someone. Dong Xi tried her best to open his eyes, only to see a snake tongue sticking out. Her willpower could no longer hold on, and she fainted. Su Cheng did not expect this person to be drowned. The Su Cheng¡¯s n loved water and humidity. They were born to swim and grew up in the water. Chapter 73 - Eating the Inner Core of the Big Snake

Chapter 73: Eating the Inner Core of the Big Snake

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

When Su Cheng was still a small demon, he had to rely on water to escape many times when his life was in danger. He transformed back into human form, picked up Dong Xi with his tail, and turned her upside down to control the water. Seeing that Dong Xi still did not move, Su Cheng frowned. Su Cheng was a venomous snake and did not have the ability to save people. This girl¡¯s body was not good either. What if she really¡­ Su Cheng¡¯s face instantly darkened. He did not know if he should save this little girl. Was there a need to? He had killed countless people, so why would he care about such a small cause and effect? However, when he saw the little girl still lying on his tail, he immediately changed his mind. Su Cheng first gave Dong Xi some spiritual Qi to protect her heart and brought her back to the cave. He ced her on the bed and spat out an inner core. If one were to look closely, one would discover that there were some cracks on the surface of the inner core. He raised his hand and suspended the inner core above Dong Xi. The light enveloped Dong Xi¡¯s body, making her look like a dream. In a daze, Dong Xi felt as if he had been wrapped in something warm. There was also a strange power that entered her body, making her turn overfortably. Su Cheng caught the inner core and helped Dong Xi regte the spiritual Qi in her body. However, the next second, he opened his eyes and looked at the bed. All he saw was his inner core being suddenly pulled to Dong Xi¡¯s mouth by a suction force. Dong Xi opened her mouth and ate it. Su Cheng¡¯s face darkened, and he grabbed Dong Xi¡¯s neck. He had tried so hard to save this person, but this person actually dared to swallow his inner core! Humans, no matter big or small, were all extremely cunning. Even a little girl like her could be so scheming! In Dong Xi¡¯s dream, it was as if something was wrapped around his neck. It was extremely ufortable, and she instinctively raised her hand to pull it away. With a struggle, the inner core was immediately swallowed. Su Cheng panicked when he saw this. Although his inner core was damaged, it was not something this girl could handle. The violent Qi in the inner core would soon rush out of her Dantian and her meridians¡­ He immediately picked Dong Xi up and pressed his finger on the ce three inches above her belly button, wanting to make Dong Xi spit out the inner elixir. However, he did not expect that no matter how many times he tried, it would be useless. Dong Xi coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes. She discovered that he had been wrapped by the huge snake¡¯s tail and was being lifted in the air. She looked at Su Cheng¡¯s eyes and saw a bit of resentment. Then, she looked at his face and saw that ck patterns had appeared. Dong Xi wanted to go down, but Su Cheng let her go and she fell to the ground. Dong Xi pushed herself up with both hands and could not help but shout, ¡°Are you crazy? You threw me into the pond, I can¡¯t swim! You almost killed me!¡± Su Cheng saw that she was full of energy. What he was worried about did not happen at all. He could even feel his inner core floating in her Dantian. Su Cheng forcefully stopped the thought of opening her stomach and taking back his inner core. He coldly said, ¡°You ate my inner core.¡± Dong Xi was just about to say something when she heard the ck snake¡¯s sudden words. She was stunned. ¡°You, what did you say?¡± Dong Xi asked in surprise. Su Cheng looked at her and repeated with a serious expression, ¡°You ate my inner core!¡± Dong Xi suddenly understood why he had been so resentful when he woke up. But why had he eaten his inner core? The difference in strength between the two of them was not just a little bit. Even if there were a hundred of him, he might not be able to touch him. Su Cheng saw her frowning and said, I noticed that you were suffering from Qi deviation, so I kindly helped you to get rid of the fire poison in your body. I even saved you from the water and used my inner core to help you heal. I didn¡¯t expect that you would bite the hand that fed you. You actually ate my inner core. Humans are all cunning. In order to get back my inner core, I can¡¯t let you live!¡± Su Cheng put one hand behind his back and raised the other in the air. A ball of green mist appeared in his hand. The air around the mist seemed to have a fault. Dong Xi was shocked. She did not doubt that this mist could make her disappear without a trace. her forehead was full of cold sweat. She quickly went into havoc and immediately said, ¡°big snake! It¡¯s fine to kill me, but I can¡¯t hurt your inner core!¡± Su Cheng smiled coldly. Dong Xi looked at his white teeth and was even more panicked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know how to control my strength,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. Dong Xi¡¯s face turned even paler. How could she have eaten the snake¡¯s inner core for no reason? Why did she not know anything about it? Didn¡¯t he say before that eating a demonic beast¡¯s inner core would cause one¡¯s body to explode and die? But now¡­ When Dong Xi thought of this, she instantly felt even worse. No one would be able to remain calm if they had a bomb in their stomach and were facing the possibility of being killed at any time! Chapter 74 - The Demon Beasts Are the

Chapter 74: The Demon Beasts Are the Treacherous Ones

Dong Xi subconsciously checked the inner core in her Dantian. She saw the inner core floating in his Dantian, surrounded by his own light purple spiritual Qi. Surrounded by spiritual Qi, the cracks on his inner core seemed to be healing. Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi, it was getting lesser and lesser, and it was about to drop to the next realm. When Dong Xi saw this, she was instantly stunned. She looked up at Su Cheng. Dong Xi gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Demon beasts are the treacherous ones! You¡¯re clearly using me to repair your inner core! Why are you looking for excuses?¡± Dong Xi was naturally afraid of death, but if she did not provoke him now, she might really die. ¡°What did you say?¡± Su Cheng frowned in dissatisfaction. Dong Xi raised her chin and said unhappily, ¡°You put the inner core in my Dantian to use my spiritual energy to repair it. Now that your inner core is about to recover, I can¡¯t keep my cultivation realm!¡± Su Cheng hurriedly used his divine sense to investigate and found that her current situation was very bad. The fire poison in her meridians had not beenpletely removed, and his inner core was absorbing spiritual energy like a bottomless pit. Even her new cultivation realm was showing signs of falling. Su Cheng frowned and raised his hand to press on Dong Xi¡¯s lower abdomen, but she found Dong Xi holding her stomach and taking a few steps back. Dong Xi asked alertly, ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Su Cheng¡¯s face was still calm as he said in a low voice, ¡°Shut up and sit down. I¡¯ll help you stabilize your realm.¡± Although the drop in the cultivation realm did not seem to have much of an impact, it would be more difficult to break through again. Dong Xi struggled internally for a moment beforepromising. After all, whether she died or not depended on the ck snake¡¯s thoughts. What if she did not listen to the snake¡¯s words and angered it? Dong Xi sat on the bed with an aggrieved expression. Su Cheng sat in front of her, put his hand on her lower abdomen, and closed his eyes. Without the oppressive feeling of the vertical pupils, the snake¡¯s unparalleled beauty did not diminish even though there were some ck patterns on his face. Instead, he looked more wild. Dong Xi was engrossed in watching and heard Su Cheng say, ¡°Reim your origin energy.¡± Dong Xi came back to her senses and immediately did as Su Cheng said. Su Cheng¡¯s spiritual Qi entered her body and tried to connect with his inner core. His inner core seemed to have its own thoughts as well. It only swayed in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian for a while before it quieted down. Su Cheng was clear about his inner core. The small cracks on his inner core had been partially repaired, and the big cracks were slowly getting better. He was very surprised. He had slept for so long and used spiritual energy to nourish it for so long, but the effect was not as good as this little girl¡¯s Dantian for a short while? Su Cheng did not understand either. He tried tomunicate with the inner core again to see if he could mobilize the spiritual Qi inside. In the end, it did not have any effect, and Su Cheng was relieved. Forget it, since it¡¯s useful in the little girl¡¯s body, let¡¯s leave it at that for now. Su Cheng mobilized a trace of spiritual Qi from his inner core to remove the fire poison in Dong Xi¡¯s meridians. However, even this trace of spiritual Qi was a little difficult for Dong Xi to bear. In addition, Su Cheng¡¯s spiritual Qi was naturally poisonous. Even if Su Cheng controlled it carefully, it still caused slight burns to Dong Xi¡¯s meridians. Dong Xi felt ufortable. She instinctively circted her spiritual Qi and wrapped her fragile meridians with a thin film. Then, she automatically started to circte the spiritual Qi ording to her memory, which also contained a trace of the spiritual Qi of Su Cheng. Su Cheng felt that she had taken away his control of the spiritual Qi. He thought about it for a moment and let her control it. The light purple spiritual energy wrapped around a trace of green spiritual energy and was quickly absorbed. Then, it circted around the meridians and returned to the Dantian. It was then absorbed by Su Cheng¡¯s inner core. Gradually, Dong Xi¡¯s body also formed a subtle cycle. Su Cheng saw that her realm was stable and stopped. Dong Xi also opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Su Cheng also looking at her. Her eyes unconsciously drifted. ¡°I won¡¯t take out the inner core for now, it¡¯s in your Dantian,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She looked up at Su Cheng and asked, ¡°Does that mean I don¡¯t have to die?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll spare your life for now,¡± Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and fell back onto the bed. Su Cheng looked at her and could not help butugh. He said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be too happy. Are you going to practice the cultivation technique that the little bird gave you? As for that book, it might work. Try it.¡± When Dong Xi thought of the blood she had vomited while cultivating and the pain in her meridians, she felt a little scared. ¡°If I can¡¯t practice it, then so be it. Why is this happening?¡± Dong Xi asked, confused. Su Cheng nced at her and said, ¡°Do you think that other people¡¯s family¡¯s cultivation techniques are so easy to practice? Don¡¯t you think that there will be a threshold? No matter what, she¡¯s a demon beast. Their bodies are better than humans, and their cultivation techniques are even more overbearing.¡± Chapter 75 - Do You Know How to Swim?

Chapter 75: Do You Know How to Swim?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Dong Xi, who was like a salted fish, also knew that the cultivation technique really was not suitable for her. At the same time, she became even more dispirited. She secretly decided to quickly refine her body. However, she had to learn how to swim before she could train her body. she could not always fall at the same ce, not to mention that she had fallen a few times in the same ce. Drowning was very ufortable and she did not want to experience it again. Dong Xi looked at the snake and asked, ¡°Snake, can you swim?¡± Dong Xi recalled the scene she had seen before she fainted. A huge snake head, and even that head was much bigger than her. She suddenly realized that she seemed to be talking nonsense. Why couldn¡¯t the snake swim? ¡°Forget it, just pretend I didn¡¯t ask,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi and saw her tie her hair up again. He said lightly, ¡°You almost drowned. Humans are still useless.¡± The useless human, Dong Xi, stood up and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mess with me, or I¡¯ll self-destruct with your inner core!¡± She recalled reading a book in her previous life. It was always written that someone would use their entire life¡¯s cultivation to self-destruct, always bringing two people with them. The power should be quite great. Hearing this, Su Cheng¡¯s lips curved up slightly as if he was ready to see a joke. Su Cheng mercilessly told her the truth and said, ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that even if you explode into dust, my inner core will be unscathed.¡± Back then, a total of 81 Lightning Tribtions had caused Su Cheng¡¯s inner core to crack. With Dong Xi¡¯s pitiful cultivation? Hehe. Dong Xi did not want to say anything more to him. Dong Xi could also see that the ck snake only knew how to scare people. He said he would kill her repeatedly, but he even helped her get rid of the fire poison. When she was drowning, he was also the one who saved her. He even used his cracked inner core to heal her. This was what it meant to have a sharp mouth but a soft heart. These people from the world of self-cultivators were really proud, and Senior Brother Song Qingfeng was the same. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng and raised her hand. A wisp of green mist appeared in her hand. Seeing Su Cheng¡¯s shocked expression, Dong Xi said, ¡°It won¡¯t explode anyway, so I¡¯ll just use up all the spiritual energy in my Dantian!¡± Su Cheng returned to his original form and said, ¡°I advise you not to do this. Once you attract my enemies, you won¡¯t even have the chance to run.¡± Dong Xi panicked. She saw that the snake had already closed its eyes and was silent. She could not help but think that without the inner core, the ck snake¡¯s strength should have weakened a lot, right? Dong Xi thought that she must take this inner core out of her Dantian. After all, such a time bomb was in her Dantian, and she could not cultivate in peace. She would go to the Cultivation Techniques Hall in a few days to see if there was any good way. Dong Xi stood up and ate a Spirit Restore Pill. Her spiritual Qi instantly recovered, and she reached out to Su Cheng¡¯s body to treat him. The ck snake opened his eyes and nced at Dong Xi, then closed them again. Perhaps it was because she had the snake¡¯s inner core, Dong Xi took longer this time than before. When she retracted her hand, a thought suddenly appeared in her mind. The ck snake was in such a bad state and was able to maintain its human form was probably because he did not have an inner core. Dong Xi frowned. No wonder he wanted to kill her just now. She raised her hand and touched her neck. She was still a little scared. Dong Xi looked at the big snake again and found that he seemed to have fallen asleep, so she got up and quietly went to the practice room. She did not know where the snake came from, but it was obviously much more powerful than her. Since he said that she should try Song Qingfeng¡¯s technique, Dong Xi would try it. Most importantly, she had no other choice other than this cultivation technique. Dong Xi sat down and waited for her condition to recover to its peak before taking out the cultivation technique. She read the words on it and said, ¡°The Eight-nine Cultivation Technique.¡± The original book did not mention Song Qingfeng¡¯s family in detail, but Dong Xi could tell that this cultivation technique was not some low-level cultivation technique. Flipping open the cultivation technique manual, he saw the words on the first page: ¡®There are 80 to 90 percent of things in life.¡¯ Dong Xi¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. However, thinking about everything that had happened since the beginning, who could be more unlucky than her? She drowned after finally getting into the university she was looking forward to. She was killed by a sword the moment she transmigrated. Then, she was reborn and picked up this snake. Every day, she was on the verge of death¡­ If only she was not so unlucky and everything went smoothly. After clearing her mind, Dong Xi flipped to the next page. The human body¡¯s structure was drawn in detail on it, and it exined how spiritual Qi circted and which acupuncture points should be attacked first. Chapter 76 - All Previous Efforts in Vain?

Chapter 76: All Previous Efforts in Vain?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

After Dong Xi finished reading, she closed her eyes and digested the contents of the book. When she was almost done, Dong Xi put raised all her limbs toward the sky ording to the method in the book. It was indeed a high-level cultivation technique. Dong Xi, who was at the third stage of Qi Refinement, had a feeling that her control of spiritual Qi was not in ordance with her heart. After the spiritual Qi circted once ording to the method in the book, Dong Xi instantly became nervous. The previous cultivation techniques all gathered spirit Qi and then dissipated it. If it dissipated again this time, would there really be no cultivation technique to practice? However, after the spiritual Qi returned to her Dantian, it was unable to enter the navel point. At any moment, Dong Xi¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat, and she gritted her teeth so hard that they were bleeding. However, the green inner core in her Dantian seemed to be fighting with her spiritual energy, making her unable to continue. When Dong Xi discovered this problem, she was extremely angry. She wished she could take out his inner core and give it to that broken snake to eat! She was really done for by that stupid snake! Dong Xi looked at the edges of her spiritual Qi slowly showing signs of dissipating. Dong Xi¡¯s expression was pained, and she even wanted to die. Wouldn¡¯t this mean that¡­ All her previous efforts would be in vain again? Gritting her teeth, Dong Xi decided to persist a little longer. What if she seeded? I must persevere¡­ Dong Xi¡¯s face turned pale. At this moment, Dong Xi was overdrawing her spiritual power to control the spiritual Qi. At this moment, a golden spot of light appeared on Dong Xi¡¯s forehead. If Dong Xi could see it, she would have realized that it was the blood Song Qingfeng had given her that day. The golden light spot became brighter and brighter, and then it broke down into countless small light spots, which merged into Dong Xi¡¯s body. With the support of the golden light spots, the spiritual energy that was originally fighting against the green inner core suddenly gained the upper hand. The purple spiritual Qi slowly entered the navel point and wrapped around the green inner core in her Dantian. The inner core seemed to have sensed the threat and wanted to escape from her sea of Qi. However, it seemed to be trapped by quicksand and was sinking in bit by bit. When the inner core waspletely wrapped up, Dong Xi opened her eyes. A trace of golden light seemed to sh in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face. It was a sess! However, before she could be happy for long, the snake on the bed suddenly spat out blood, and the color of the scales on its tail became darker. Dong Xi was stunned. She did not expect that the inner core in her body would cause him such damage. Dong Xi immediately panicked. The giant snake raised his head and flicked his tongue at Dong Xi. Dong Xi suddenly felt a chill in her heart. It was absolutely creepy to describe it. She quickly stood up and immediately waved her hand, ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything! I really did not do it! It has nothing to do with me!¡± In fact, Dong Xi knew in her heart that although this cultivation technique was called the Eight-nine Cultivation Technique, it was still a high-level cultivation technique, especially a righteous cultivation technique. The great snake was a poisonous snake to begin with, and his inner core was even more poisonous. ording to the tyrannical nature of high-level cultivation techniques, there was a high chance that the ck snake¡¯s inner core would bepletely purified. Dong Xi could not help but imagine that the snake was probably trying to skin her alive at this moment, but the snake¡¯s reaction surprised Dong Xi. The snake only nced at her indifferently before lying back on the bed. Since Su Cheng let Dong Xi cultivate this technique, how could he not have thought of the impact on the inner core? However, in this world, there were good and bad times. Although the cultivation method would harm his inner core and bones, it also helped him to hide part of the heavenly secrets. Dong Xi saw Su Cheng lying back on the bed and immediately let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, the restriction at the entrance of the cave abode was touched. Dong Xi was shocked. She came back to her senses and wanted to look outside, only to find that it was Chi Yan. Dong Xi did not dare to let anyone enter the house. She immediately cast a cleaning spell and tidied up everything before leaving. Chi Yan was still dressed in red. Dong Xi stepped forward and saluted, ¡°Little Senior Sister!¡± ¡°Have you cultivated my cultivation technique yet?¡± Chi Yan nodded and asked. Dong Xi was a little puzzled, but she nodded and respectfully returned the cultivation technique to Chi Yan. Dong Xi said, ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister. I¡¯ve tried the cultivation method, but I¡¯m not fated to cultivate it. Sigh¡­¡± In fact, Dong Xi was really disappointed. This cultivation technique was extremelypatible with the fire attribute. It was just that the cultivation technique was too overbearing, and she could not cultivate it at all. Dong Xi frowned and did not see Chi Yan¡¯s strange expression. This cultivation technique was too overbearing. Chi Yan was also worried that Dong Xi would be injured, so she came to check it out and gave Dong Xi some medicinal pills to heal her injuries. However, she did not expect her to be fine. Thinking about how his Junior Sister only had three spirit roots and her aptitude was not very good, but she was still epted as a disciple by her Master, Chi Yan knew that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Chi Yan thought for a moment and took out the pill she had prepared. Even though Dong Xi seemed fine, it would be extremely troublesome if she suffered internal injuries.

Chi Yan put the white porcin bottle in Dong Xi¡¯s hand and said indifferently, ¡°Junior Sister, this is a pill specially used to clear the fire poison. Keep it well and don¡¯t let the fire poison remain in your meridians, it will affect your future cultivation!¡± Dong Xi looked at the porcin bottle Chi Yan had given her. She was stunned at first, but felt a little annoyed. Little Senior Sister was really something! If she had sent the pills earlier, she would not have had to suffer so much! Of course, Dong Xi was still very shrewd, and nothing could be seen on the surface. Dong Xi cupped her fists and gratefully said, ¡°Little Senior Sister! You¡¯re really timely!¡± Chi Yan¡¯s face was slightly red, and she felt a little guilty. When she had given Dong Xi the cultivation method, she had forgotten about her own bloodline of the demon beast. She did not think about the possibility of idents. When Chi Yan returned to the cave, she remembered that her ancestor had given the cultivation method to a person, and the person had suffered a bacsh. Thinking of this, Chi Yan hurriedly came to deliver the medicinal pill to Dong Xi, and in the end, she really made it in time. Chi Yan put away the cultivation technique that Dong Xi had exchanged for and said indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged. The heaven¡¯s chosen technique requires fate. My n¡¯s technique isn¡¯t suitable. There are other techniques you can try.¡± Chi Yan still had an arrogant look on her face, and her words offort seemed to be an order. Dong Xi felt it was funny, but he knew Chi Yan had good intentions and nodded. ¡°Thank you for yourfort, Senior Sister. I will try the cultivation technique given by Second Senior Brother. If it doesn¡¯t work, I will think of another way.¡± Chi Yan gave the pills and left. Dong Xi watched Chi Yan fly away in her original form and could not help but think that this little bird was still very cute. Retracting her gaze, Dong Xi looked at the porcin bottle in her hand, opened it, and ate a pill. The high-grade pill did not need to be chewed. It melted in her mouth, and a cool feeling spread throughout his body, nourishing her meridians. This feeling was very intoxicating, just like eating a piece of mint candy, veryfortable. Dong Xi kept the remaining pills and remembered Chi Yan¡¯s kindness. In the future, if Chi Yan needed Dong Xi, Dong Xi would definitely help. The next morning, a message came from Dong Xi¡¯smunication jade slip. Dong Xi picked it up and read it. Ke Xin¡¯s voice came from it, ¡°Sister! Let¡¯s go! I heard that there¡¯s an event at the store, and the second piece is free. If you¡¯rete, there won¡¯t be any!¡± When Dong Xi heard this news, she was immediately overjoyed. No one could refuse a second item for free, including Dong Xi. She immediately got up, cast a cleaning spell on herself, tied her hair, and stepped on a small leaf to go down the mountain. Ke Xin kicked the small stones in boredom and sighed in her heart. The inner sect was so far away, and by the time Dong Xi arrived, they did not know when they would be able to make it for the second event. If he had known this would happen, she would have sent a message yesterday to ask Dong Xi toe down early and stay with her outside for the night. However, it had alreadye to this. No matter how unhappy she was, there was no other way. The next second, a voice suddenly came from above Ke Xin¡¯s head. Dong Xi said, ¡°Sister, what are you standing there for? hurry up ande up!¡± Ke Xin raised her head and saw a little leaf floating above her head. A girl was sitting on it. It was Dong Xi, who Ke Xin had been waiting for. Ke Xin¡¯s eyes brightened. The little leaf lowered its altitude and Ke Xin immediately climbed up. Ke Xin said enviously, ¡°Amazing, Sister! They all have flying magic tools?¡± ¡°Senior Brother lent it to me,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°It costs a lot of spirit stones. I wouldn¡¯t have used it if I wasn¡¯t in a hurry!¡± When the two of them reached the teleportation array, Ke Xin saw that the spirit stone was bing dimmer and dimmer. She could not help but think to herself, ¡®Isn¡¯t this burning money?¡¯ There were exactly eight people waiting for the teleportation array, so Ke Xin and Dong Xi had exactly ten people. Having experienced this before, Ke Xin took out her snuff bottle and sniffed it before closing her eyes and entering the teleportation array. When he opened his eyes again, he had already been teleported to the market. They had arrived earlier today. The sun had notpletely risen yet, and the entire market was dyed in gold. Dong Xi walked out of the teleportation formation, but before she could stand still, Ke Xin pulled her hand and quickly walked towards the clothing store. Ke Xin said, ¡°There must be a lot of people today. Grab me and don¡¯t let people squeeze me away.¡± Dong Xi agreed and quickened her pace. The two of them ran all the way to the clothing store and found that there were already many people lining up at the entrance. Ke Xin pulled Dong Xi to the back and poked her head out to count the number of people in front. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine,¡± Ke Xin said as she counted. ¡°There¡¯s only about 20 people. It should be our turn soon.¡± Dong Xi nodded. She was not worried that she could not buy it, but she was afraid that she could not afford it. ¡°Sister, what have you decided on?¡± asked Dong Xi. Chapter 78 - Embarrassed

Chapter 78: Embarrassed

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Ke Xin shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ll go in and take a lookter.¡± Dong Xi had seen Ke Xin¡¯s anxiousness earlier and thought that she had already seen something good, but it turned out that she hade to spend on impulse. There were rules in the shop. In order to serve the customers perfectly, only ten people could enter at a time. By the time it was their turn, almost two hours had already passed. The Rainbow Store was thergest trading ce in the market. There were pills, spirit tools, cultivation techniques, and even beauties and demon beasts in the store. Anything that could be sold was here. The person who received them was a 17 to 18-year-old boy servant. He did not neglect them just because they were two little girls. Instead, no matter what they were looking at, the boy servant would patiently exin in detail. Ke Xin had her eyes on many things, but she was short on money. She had worked so hard to save up 40 or so low-grade spirit stones, so she could not afford most of the things. Dong Xi also had something that caught her eye. He asked the servant, ¡°The second item of today¡¯s event is free of charge. Does that apply to anything?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The servant nodded and said, ¡°You only need to pay the items with a high enough price.¡± ¡°Can I exchange it with something?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Of course you can,¡± the servant replied immediately. ¡°But the items you want to exchange must be evaluated by the elders. The high value of your item, the less you need to pay.¡± Dong Xi understood. It was more humane to look at the store this way. She walked around with Ke Xin. Ke Xin chose a set of clothes and a hairband. However, the hairband had an elementary barrier-breaking effect, so it was slightly more expensive than the normal ones. These cost 49 low-grade spirit stones. Ke Xin¡¯s entire pocket only had 43 spirit stones, and she could only make up for the rest by exchanging her Spirit Restore Pills. Dong Xi, on the other hand, had taken a fancy to the monastic bead bracelet that could conceal one¡¯s cultivation level. As long as she brought it along, no one below the Foundation Establishment stage would be able to discover her. Dong Xi pointed to the items in the disy cab, looked at the servant, and asked, ¡°How many spirit stones does this cost?¡± This string of bead bracelet was rtively simple. There was a Scarlet Sun ss on the string of beads. This Scarlet Sun ss even had an array formation. It was also because of this that it could conceal one¡¯s cultivation level. ¡°Little fairy, this one costs 12 mid-grade spirit stones,¡± the servant said immediately. Dong Xi did not say anything. Beside her, Ke Xin inhaled a breath of spiritual Qi. Ke Xin almost shouted out loud, but on second thought, things were different now. Her Sister was already Master Lingxu¡¯s disciples, and was an inner sect disciple. Perhaps her master had already given her quite a bit of wealth? Dong Xi was also shocked when she heard this. As expected, the price increased by so many times. From the looks of it, those few bottles of supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pills would notst long at all. Dong Xi pondered for a long time, then took out the demon beast¡¯s inner core from her storage bag and asked the servant, ¡°How many spirit stones can this demon beast¡¯s inner core be worth?¡± In the market, Dong Xi was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so she did not dare to wear her storage ring directly. When the servant saw the fiery-red inner core in Dong Xi¡¯s hand, he was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he immediately apologized, ¡°Little Fairy, this inner core doesn¡¯t look ordinary. I need to get an elder to appraise it. You¡­¡± The Rainbow Store was a well-known big store in the East Continent and could be found almost everywhere. In addition, they had amunication jade slip, so the servant did not dare to do anything. If something happened, the servant would not be able to bear the anger of the owner. Dong Xi very happily threw the inner core over and said, ¡°Then take it and ask.¡± The servant took the inner core with both hands and turned to leave. Dong Xi and Ke Xin strolled around the shop. Ke Xin had only taken a few steps when she realized that Dong Xi was nowhere to be seen. She quickly looked around and finally found Dong Xi standing in front of the pill cab, staring at the counter. ¡°What are you staring at?¡± Ke Xin asked as she hurried over. ¡°This thing,¡± said Dong Xi as she pointed at the counter. Ke Xin immediately went forward and saw a bottle of Five Element Blood Clot Pill. The name of the pill sounded like it was used for healing injuries. Dong Xi was not injured, so why was she looking at this? Ke Xin sized Dong Xi up curiously. Seeing that Dong Xi had already called for the shop assistant, Dong Xi asked, ¡°How much for this bottle of pills?¡± ¡°38 mid-grade spirit stones,¡± the assistant immediately replied with a smile. Dong Xi was a little stunned. She bit her lip and asked, ¡°A whole bottle?¡± The smile on the shopkeeper¡¯s face grew wider, and he immediately said, ¡± ¡°Little Fairy, don¡¯t joke around. This pill is a third-grade pill. How can it be so cheap? This is 38 mid-rank spirit stones for a single pill.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± The corner of Dong Xi¡¯s mouth twitched. She wanted to show an expression that money did not matter, but she could not do it no matter what. Not long after, the servant who had brought the inner core for appraisal returned and said with a smile, ¡°Little Fairy, this inner core belongs to a fifth-tier demonic beast. After our elder has appraised it, we can exchange it for two upper-grade spirit stones.¡± Chapter 79 - How Generous

Chapter 79: How Generous

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard the servant¡¯s words. She did not expect the ck snake to be so generous. Even something she casually gave out was worth so much? Ke Xin, who was standing at the side, was even more shocked. She felt that she was unable to take it. When she first entered the sect, this little sister was even poorer than her. Now, the things she casually took out were already so valuable! ¡°If I buy medicinal pills, is the second one free?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. After getting the answer, Dong Xi smiled. She said, ¡°Since it¡¯s like this, if I buy 28 of these pills, will you give me 28 of them?¡± The servant was stunned for a moment and said with a bitter smile, ¡°Little Fairy, the shop has limited purchases!¡± ¡°Then how many pills are there in this bottle?¡± Dong Xi stroked her chin and asked. ¡°24,¡± the servant replied. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have one bottle. You can give me another one,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡­ Dong Xi walked out with a satisfied look on her face. The inner core had been exchanged for spirit stones, and a bottle of pills had been given to her after she had bought the pills. She had also bought the bracelet. Inparison, the bracelet only cost 11 spirit stones, which was just the tip of the iceberg. Because the second item was free, Dong Xi also chose a pair of high-speed cloth shoes, which were worth 11 mid-grade spirit stones. The shop owner even gave her a top-grade spirit stone and 88 mid-grade spirit stones in return. After the two of them came out, Dong Xi realized that Ke Xin was looking at her strangely. Ke Xin asked, ¡°Sister, what are you buying so much healing medicine for? You¡¯re injured?¡± Ke Xin was not envious of Dong Xi¡¯s sudden wealth. As long as she worked hard at cultivation, she would be able to enter the inner sect at the end of the year. By then, she would naturally have more spirit stones. Dong Xi sighed and exined, ¡°I¡¯m not injured. I bought it for someone else. Otherwise, how could I have a fifth-rank inner core?¡± In that case, Ke Xin instantly imagined that one of Dong Xi¡¯s Senior Brothers had fought a demon beast and ended up seriously injured, so he could only hand the inner core over to his Little Junior Sister and have her run errands to pay for it. But¡­ Weren¡¯t they also Alchemy Sect¡¯s disciples? Why did shee out to buy medicinal pills? Before Ke Xin could figure it out, she heard some movement not far away. Ke Xin came back to her senses and saw that Dong Xi was already excited. Dong Xi said, ¡°Sister! Hurry up and leave! I heard that if you sign up there, you can mine spirit stones!¡± In Dong Xi¡¯s heart, spirit stones were money, and digging out spirit stones was the same as picking up money. Whoever dared to stop her from picking up the money was equivalent to fighting her to the death. When Ke Xin heard that they were going to dig for spirit stones, she immediately perked up and looked around, asking, ¡°Where? Why didn¡¯t I hear about it? Let¡¯s hurry up, we can¡¯t let anyone get there first!¡± Ke Xin was only at the first level of Qi Refinement and had not broken through to the second level, so her perception was much weaker than Dong Xi¡¯s. The two of them ran forward for a while before Ke Xin heard someone talking. Basically, they found a spirit vein not far from the market. This spirit vein was bought by arge family, and now the Zhang family paid cultivators toe over and help mine spirit stones. Furthermore, as long as they were below the fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage. After all, cultivators with high cultivation levels had too many means and might hide many things. Dong Xi squeezed through the crowd with Ke Xin and came to the table. She said to the uncle who was in charge of registrations, ¡°We¡¯re together!¡± The middle-aged man looked up and asked, ¡°From the Ningtian Sect? What¡¯s your cultivation levels?¡± Dong Xi was wearing a bracelet. There were no cultivators with high cultivation levels here, so no one could see through her strength. Dong Xi said, ¡°We¡¯re both at the first level of the Qi Refinement stage.¡± ¡°Names?¡± the uncle nodded. Ke Xin was about to say something when Dong Xi tugged at her clothes. Ke Xin immediately shut her mouth and looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s face did not turn red, and her heart did not beat as he said, ¡°She¡¯s called Wang Wu, I¡¯m Liu Qi.¡± Ke Xin, ¡°¡­¡± When Dong Xi said this, the uncle¡¯s face instantly darkened. He put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the two little girls. He said with an irritated expression, ¡°Are you making fun of me?¡± Dong Xi was not afraid and said with a sincere expression, ¡°Her surname is Wang, and she¡¯s the fifth child in her family. My surname is Liu, and I¡¯m the seventh child of my family. They¡¯re all from the mortal world, and girls aren¡¯t valued, so they don¡¯t have a name. Uncle¡­ If you don¡¯t believe me, don¡¯t be angry, we didn¡¯t lie to you¡­¡± Dong Xi sighed as she spoke, a sorrowful expression on her face. When Ke Xin heard this, she immediately cooperated and wiped her tears. The uncle was stunned when he saw the two of them. Then, he waved his hand and said, ¡°Forget it, forget it, I¡¯ll just sign you up, why are you crying? People might think that I¡¯m bullying children!¡± When Dong Xi saw the uncle write their names on the wooden sign, she quickly reached out to take it and respectfully said to the uncle, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re a good man!¡± Chapter 80 - Cultivating Here

Chapter 80: Cultivating Here

After getting the token, the two of them boarded the waiting airship. Although the spirit vein was not far, it would take a Foundation Establishment cultivator two days to fly there. If Dong Xi and the others were to walk, it would take even longer. Dong Xi and his partner were very young and attracted many people¡¯s gazes as soon as they came up. There were even some who saw that they were from the Ningtian Sect and immediately tried to strike up a conversation with them. Dong Xi was a little worried that Ke Xin would reveal their background. However, he heard Ke Xin tell others that the two sisters were all daughters of the family and no one loved them. It was not easy for them toe here and they were also outer sect disciples. They could not even afford to buy clothes¡­ Dong Xi sighed in her heart. This Sister really knew how to set up a character. The people around them did not know whether to believe it or not, but they were just two poor girls, and they were not worth their time. Dong Xi found a corner and sat down. Ke Xin took out two coarse-flour mantou from her storage bag. She used a lot of strength to break them open and gave half to Dong Xi. ¡°Sister, eat something to fill your stomach,¡± Ke Xin said. Dong Xi looked at the steamed bun in her hand that did not have any spiritual energy and could not help butin in her heart. It¡¯s really hard on them to actually find such food in the cultivation world. Dong Xi immediately took a bite and almost choked to death. Ke Xin was not any better. The two of them patted each other¡¯s backs and looked at each other with bitter smiles. The airship flew for nearly two hours before it slowlynded in the valley. The spiritual energy here was extremely dense, and even the nts were very tall. The demon beasts here must be very powerful. The person in charge of the Zhang family gathered them together and shouted, ¡°My family has already sent people to clear out the mine. Although therge demon beasts are gone, it is inevitable that there will be some demon beasts that live underground. We still need to be careful.¡± Dong Xi made a mental note. It seemed that mining for spirit stones was not that safe. The person in charge continued, ¡°From now on, ten percent of the spirit stones you excavate every day can be kept as wages. The rest will be handed over. If your private collection is discovered, the Zhang family will no longer hire you.¡± Dong Xi did not know how the test would be carried out. After all, these people would always have other ideas. However, since the Zhang family had hired them, it meant that they had a way to test it. Dong Xi and Ke Xin lined up to get their pickaxes, then followed the crowd to the mine. When they passed through the cave, they could clearly feel a barrier and a fairy waiting for them inside. ¡°Two fairies, storage bags have been detected on you. Do you want to store them?¡± the Fairy said to Dong Xi and Ke Xin. ¡°We can¡¯t even bring our own things?¡± Dong Xi frowned and said. ¡°What if you lose it?¡± The Fairyughed. ¡°Fairies, you can seal it yourself. Other than you, no one else can open it. We¡¯ll also ce a photostone here. If there¡¯s any ident, we can check it at any time. Of course, this is also to distinguish between your spirit stones and the spirit stones dug out from the mine.¡± Ke Xin knew how much Dong Xi had in her storage bag and looked at her worriedly. Dong Xi immediately took out a storage bag and threw it to the fairy, saying, ¡°Help me look after it.¡± Seeing that Dong Xi had already given it to her, Ke Xin did not mind either. After all, she had already spent that little bit of spirit stones. After storing the items, the Zhang family¡¯s Fairy took out two storage bags and handed them to the two of them for them to put the spirit stones in. The two of them walked to the entrance of the mine. Dong Xi stopped and asked, ¡°Sister, which mine do you want to enter?¡± ¡°Anything is fine,¡± Ke Xin said. ¡°It depends on which one you¡¯re thinking of.¡± When they were outside, their cultivation levels were not very high, so they had to be together. ¡°That¡¯s easy,¡± said Dong Xi with a nod. She had already learned the Eight-nine Cultivation Technique, and now she had the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Dong Xi felt that something was wrong with the left and middle caves. After eliminating them, she would definitely choose the right cave, which had less spiritual energy. Not long after they entered, they could see spirit stones. Many people had already started digging. Ke Xin¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°Sister! These are all spirit stones! I¡¯m rich!¡± Ke Xin picked up her pickaxe and charged forward. However, she could not dig out a single piece even after digging for a long time. ¡°Why is this thing so hard to dig out?¡± Ke Xin asked with a frown. ¡°If they¡¯re easy to dig, why else would they give us 10 percent?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°Think about why they only hire cultivators.¡± Ke Xin instantly understood what was going on. Ke Xin attached the thin spiritual Qi in her body to the pick axe and used all her strength to chisel seven to eight times before she managed to dig out a small piece. At first, she was overjoyed, but after that, Ke Xin felt the spiritual Qi and her expression turned ugly. ¡°No way? So much spiritual energy?¡± Chapter 81 - The Benefits of a High Cultivation Level Translator: EndlessF

¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s go a little further in. This ce will be very crowded in a while.¡± The more she thought about it, the darker it became. Of course, there was no one inside, only the faint light of the spirit stone. Dong Xi brought Ke Xin in for a while before stopping. Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s good that it¡¯s here. It¡¯s a little too deep inside.¡± Just as Dong Xi finished speaking, Ke Xin had already picked up her script and started to work on it. Dong Xi smiled and also picked up the pickaxe to try chiseling a few times. In the beginning, she wrapped the entire pickaxe with spiritual energy. After a few chisels, she realized that it was a waste. She only needed to attach the spiritual energy to the point where the pickaxe touched the spirit stone. After digging out three low-grade spirit stones, Ke Xin had almost used up all the spiritual energy in her body. When she looked at Dong Xi again, she realized that she had already dug out seven or eight, but she was still fine. This was the benefit of having a high cultivation! Ke Xin was truly envious. However, when she sat down to recover her spiritual energy, it was as if a door had been opened. She said, ¡°Sister! This ce is filled with spirit stones. I want to cultivate here!¡± If a first level Qi Refinement cultivator wanted to go out, each person had to hand in at least 10 spirit stones a day, 20 spirit stones for the second level, and an increase of 10 spirit stones for every level of cultivation. Dong Xi and Ke Xin were young and had not taken the cultivation test, so the registration uncle directly registered them as first level Qi Refinement disciples. This gave Dong Xi, who was at the third level Qi Refinement, a huge advantage. The spirit stones he saved could be used to pay Ke Xin¡¯s share so that she could focus on her cultivation. Ke Xin had also touched the door to the second level of the Qi Refinement stage. If she could break through here, it would also be her opportunity. Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin, who had already sat down and was focused on her cultivation. She walked away to avoid the noise of her gathering spirit stones from disturbing Ke Xin. She ced her hand on the stone wall and used her spiritual energy to sense it. Suddenly, her heart moved and she looked at the stone wall beside her. The spiritual Qi here was much denser than in other ces, so it should be a high-grade spirit stone. If they could dig out Supreme-grade spirit stones, they would really make a big profit. Before entering, the barrier used by the Zhang family to detect Dong Xi did not discover the jade pendant she carried with him, which surprised Dong Xi. Back then, Senior Wang Ying had said that this jade pendant was of the lowest level of spiritual Qi. But now, it could avoid the test? However, this was also good. She could store the extra spirit stones that she had dug out. Dong Xi rubbed her hands excitedly as she thought of this. She aimed at the right position and started digging. The rock was like tofu under the spiritual energy-imbued pickaxe, and it did not take much effort to dig out arge piece. After digging a few times, he touched a very hard ce. ording to Dong Xi¡¯s previous experience of digging up spirit stones, his perception should not be wrong. There really were spirit stones here. And ording to the concentration of spirit Qi He had sensed before, it was at least a middle-grade spirit stone. Thinking of this, Dong Xi became even more motivated. She pulled away everything around the spirit stone, revealing it in front of Dong Xi. The fist-sized spirit stone glowed, and it was purer than the high-grade spirit stones she had seen in the store. Dong Xi¡¯s heart beat faster. This should be a top-grade spirit stone! Such arge piece should be able to cut into seven or eight spirit stones. Dong Xi waved his hand and the spirit stone entered the jade pendant. Putting away the spirit stones, Dong Xi dug even harder, but there were no more spirit stones of such high quality. There were only three mid-grade and thirty low-grade spirit stones. After her spiritual Qi had been exhausted, Dong Xi ate a Spirit Restore Pill. In any case, this kind of low-grade spirit replenishing pill was the most worthless in the sect. While Dong Xi was busy, Ke Xin had also finished her work and was digging at the spirit stones with her pickaxe. Dong Xi turned to Ke Xin when she heard the voice. ¡°You¡¯re not going to continue cultivating?¡± Ke Xin¡¯s hands did not stop moving. She only smiled and said, ¡°If you break through, you¡¯ll have to pay 20 spirit stones. It¡¯s not appropriate!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, such meticulous nning still depends on us sisters.¡± Dong Xi could not help butugh. Ke Xin had also decided to continue digging for another ten days and break through directly after settling the ounts. She had just dug out a middle-grade spirit stone, and before Ke Xin could show it off, a ck figure appeared out of nowhere, picked up the spirit stone, and ate it in one bite. Ke Xin jumped in shock and immediately screamed. Following that, a series of footsteps could be heard. Dong Xi did not continue digging. She looked up and saw three people walking over. The leader was a young man with a pretty face. When he saw that it was two little girls, he looked down on them. He asked, ¡°Kid, did you see a ming Frost-skin Rat?¡± As soon as this person finished speaking, Ke Xin said angrily, ¡°What rat are you talking about, I don¡¯t know! It was as big as a spirit hound!¡± Chapter 82 - Cornucopia

The three of them looked at each other and continued to ask, ¡°Then did you see where it ran to?¡± The mine cave was veryrge, and it extended in all directions, so it was not easy to find. Ke Xin was still a little scared. She calmed herself down and pointed to the tunnel, ¡°That thing ate my spirit stones and ran forward.¡± The three of them cupped their fists in thanks and immediately chased in the direction Ke Xin pointed. After Ke Xin saw them leave, she turned around and saw Dong Xi holding amunication jade slip. ¡°ming Frost-skin Rat, a third-rank demon beast,¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°It¡¯s very picky with its food and eats spirit stones of middle-grade and above. There¡¯s also a pouch in its abdomen that stores food.¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Ke Xin was no longer afraid. Her eyes lit up as she said, ¡°Isn¡¯t this a treasure basin?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°But we can¡¯t catch up to them, let alone defeat it. Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± Ke Xin could only sigh softly. She picked up her pick and continued digging. However, she had only dug a few times when she heard movement from the stone wall beside her. A piece of rock on the stone wall suddenly fell and a head popped out from within. Its eyes were glowing red and Ke Xin instinctively took a few steps back. Her voice trembled as she said, ¡°Sister, Sister! A¡­ A demon beast!¡± Dong Xi turned around and discovered that this demon beast¡¯s aura was very simr to the one that had run away just now. It seemed that even this little thing knew to find people who were easy to bully. The demon beast opened its mouth and revealed its sharp teeth, staring at Dong Xi. Dong Xi suddenly felt a great sense of danger. She immediately took out her White Jade Sword and assumed a defensive posture. In the next second, the ming Frost-skin Rat charged directly at Dong Xi, so fast that it left an afterimage behind it. Dong Xi leaned against the stone wall and blocked the demon beast¡¯s attack with an upward sh. The ming Frost-skin Rat¡¯s target was very clear, and it was the jade pendant on Dong Xi¡¯s body. The ming Frost-skin Rat¡¯s movements became faster and faster, and Dong Xi was somewhat disorientated. Dong Xi instantly knew that the ming Frost-skin Rat must have smelled the scent of top-grade spirit stones. After failing several times, the ming Frost-skin Rat was a little angry. The ming Frost-skin Rat stopped its attack. The fur on its back stood on end as it threw a fire de at Dong Xi. Dong Xi immediately dodged, and the ming Frost-skin Rat took advantage of this time to bite again. Dong Xi instinctively used her sword to block. The ming Frost-skin Rat was just about to touch the de of his sword. Then, Dong Xi heard a ¡®crack¡¯. Her heart trembled. She immediately checked and found that the White Jade Sword had been broken in the middle! Dong Xi was instantly dumbfounded. As expected, you get what you pay for! After all, he had bought it for eight low-grade spirit stones! How could it be cut off at this time!? However, what happened next surprised Dong Xi even more. The White Jade Sword broke apart and turned into a Purple Jade Sword. Dong Xi hurriedly picked up the sword. She was not used to it. It was just that the sword was a little short. A little longer would be fine. An inch longer was an inch stronger. It would always be better. Just as this thought appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind, the Purple Jade Sword in her hand had actually grown by three inches. This made Dong Xi extremely happy. What a good sword! Ke Xin, who was watching the battle between Dong Xi and the ming Frost-skin Rat, was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. Dong Xi and this rat were moving too quickly. Ke Xin, who wanted to help, could not do anything at all. Ke Xin had thought that Dong Xi was joking when she said that she wanted to practice swordsmanship, but it seemed that there were indeed benefits to it! Otherwise, if two alchemists encountered a demon beast, wouldn¡¯t they just be delivering food to the demon beast? Dong Xi held her sword with both hands. On the surface, she seemed to be evenly matched with the ming Frost-skin Rat, but Dong Xi knew that she could not even break through the ming Frost-skin Rat. Now that Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi had been used up, she and Ke Xin would be meat in the demon beast¡¯s mouth. The ming Frost-skin Rat also realized that Dong Xi was difficult to deal with. It immediately retreated, and its pair of red eyes kept rolling. It was very strange in the dark mine. Dong Xi was on guard. Even such a demon beast had intelligence, let alone a rat that was publicly acknowledged to be smarter! The ming Frost-skin Rat barked at Dong Xi a few times, then scratched the ground with its ws a few times, causing sparks to jump out. When Dong Xi saw this, she wished he could keep an eye out and listen in all directions. She was on high alert. If she was caught, she would get hurt, right? However, just as the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, the demon beast actually retreated carefully. When Ke Xin saw that the demon beast was about to leave, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like the little rat was trying to escape. In the next second, the ming Frost-skin Rat¡¯s speed was raised to its maximum, and it charged straight at Ke Xin. It was too fast. Before Ke Xin could react, the ming Frost-skin Rat had already reached her. The moment the rat moved, Dong Xi threw the Purple Jade Sword. Chapter 83 - Killing a Demon Beast in One Move

Ke Xin saw the Purple Jade Sword stab into the ground in front of her and the ming Frost-skin Rat dodged to the side. Ke Xin came back to her senses and began to counterattack and save herself. She condensed the only attack she had learned, the fireball, and immediately threw it at the ming Frost-skin Rat. The ming Frost-skin Rat was extremely fast. Even if Ke Xin managed to hit it, it would be impossible to hurt the ming Frost-skin Rat due to its fire resistance, let alone whether it could hit the target. Even though her attack missed, she had sessfully dyed the ming Frost-skin Rat for a moment. At this moment, Dong Xi also formed a seal. This was the first time she used it. The golden mark seemed to be falling slowly, but it still caused the entire mine to shake. The ming Frost-skin Rat wanted to drill into the stone wall directly, but its two legs shook a few times and it stopped breathing. Ke Xin looked at this scene in shock and turned to look at Dong Xi. What spell was this? It could actually kill demon beasts with a single p? This demon beast wasparable to a human at the eighth level of the Qi Refinement stage. The three cultivators only dared to chase it because they were in a group. Dong Xi knew that she was now an arrow at the end of its flight. That magic art really could not be used easily. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi had beenpletely sucked dry. Now, even a child could easily beat her to death. She immediately ate the Spirit Restore Pill and confirmed that the demon beast was no longer breathing. Only then did Dong Xi step forward and pick it up, cing it in a storage Jade. After everything was done, Dong Xi turned to Ke Xin. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and leave. The noise just now was too loud. The others should being over by now. I¡¯ll bear with this demon beast first and divide it up when we get out!¡± Ke Xin immediately waved her hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. You killed the demon beast yourself. You even protected me. I won¡¯t share it with you.¡± Dong Xi was using a pickaxe to clean up the traces on the wall. When she heard Ke Xin¡¯s words, she held her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly, they should be here soon.¡± As soon as the two of them left, the three people who had been chasing the ming Frost-skin Rat appeared. The three of them took out an oilmp and began to search for something on the surrounding stone walls. In the end, they found blood stains under the stone walls that Dong Xi could clean. The leader squatted down and touched the blood with his finger. He put it to his nose and sniffed it. Then he stood up and said, ¡°Seems like someone snatched it.¡± The ming Frost-skin Rat was extremely fast and knew how to dig holes. The three of them lost track of it several times in the mine. One of them said, ¡°ording to the requirements announced by the Zhang family, those whoe into mine are all below the fourth level of Qi Refinement stage. The ming Frost-skin Rat is a third-level demon beast. How could it be killed? ¡± Lei Wufeng nced at the two of them and said indifferently, ¡°That was such a loud noise just now. Do you think a fourth-stage Qi Refinement cultivator has such a great ability?¡± The other person who had not spoken all this while pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Could it be that someone here has hidden their cultivation?¡± With his hands behind his back, Lei Wufeng nodded and said, ¡± ¡°It must be like this.¡± ¡°Could it be those two girls?¡± one of them asked. ¡°He must have realized that something was wrong and ran away,¡± Lei Wufeng said with a scornful smile. The two little girls looked like they were only in their early teens. How could they be so powerful? If he was a genius from a big family, how could he be interested in such a small amount of spirit stones? Dong Xi ran out with Ke Xin, but not long after, the ground began to shake and some rocks began to fall from the ceiling. Dong Xi realized that the situation was not looking good, so she quickly changed into the high-speed cloth shoes she had bought earlier and immediately started running with Ke Xin on his back. Along the way, there were people who were also running away. They had juste out of the cave when they heard a strange roaring from the depths of the cave. After that, two of the three mine caves copsed. They were the two mine caves that Dong Xi had not chosen to enter at the beginning. Ke Xin grabbed Dong Xi¡¯s hand nervously and whispered, ¡°Why was it that I was almost buried alive after digging for some spirit stones? The Zhang family is too unreliable. They don¡¯t even know how to clean up the demon beasts and dare to hire us to work?¡± At this moment, Dong Xi was very clear that she had to leave as soon as possible. At her level, she could not take such risks. She hurriedly brought Ke Xin to hand over the spirit stones, then imprinted a spirit seal and took out her own storage bag. After checking that nothing was missing, she quickly ran out of the barrier. There were still screams in the barrier. Dong Xi took out the little turtle that her master had given her, injected spiritual Qi into it, and made it the size of a palm. Then, she jumped up. Ke Xin watched her actions and was extremely curious. How many good things did her sister hide? ¡°Sister, hurry up ande up!¡± Dong Xi turned around and said. Ke Xin, ¡°??? ¡± Go up? How could she do it? Dong Xi could only stand on one foot, so how was she going to stand? Chapter 84 - Escape!

Chapter 84: Escape!

¡°H-How am I supposed to go up?¡± Ke Xin asked with a strange expression. Dong Xi directly pointed to her back and said, ¡°Quicklye up! I¡¯ll carry you!¡± Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi¡¯s small figure and hesitated. Dong Xi said again, ¡°Hurry up, or we won¡¯t be able to escape!¡± Ke Xin gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, and jumped onto Dong Xi¡¯s back with a run. The moment she jumped up, Dong Xi grabbed her arm, stabilized her body, and drove the turtle to escape quickly. Ke Xin was older than Dong Xi by two years, so she was naturally taller. Now that Dong Xi was carrying her on his back, her legs were suspended in the air, making her look extremely pathetic. Dong Xi could not care too much. She quickly circted the Eight-nine Cultivation Technique. The intense sense of danger made Dong Xi think of only one word. Escape! Carrying Ke Xin on her back, Dong Xi circted her cultivation technique madly. The turtle under her feet also flew forward quickly, leaving a green light in the air. Dong Xi ate the Spirit Restore Pills in big gulps, as if they did not cost anything. She had just run a dozen miles when a strange roar came from behind her. This sound wave almost caused Dong Xi to fall off the turtle. She felt a sharp pain in her ear, but she could not care about it at this time. After flying another 30 miles, Dong Xi could not hold on any longer. She controlled the turtle to sway and fall to the ground. When they were still a distance away from the ground, Dong Xi¡¯s spritual Qi waspletely squeezed dry. The two of them fell to the ground with the turtle. However, Xin¡¯s cultivation level was low to begin with, and she was lying on Dong Xi¡¯s back, so she felt extremely ufortable after being hit by the sound waves. Just as the two of them were about tond, Ke Xin pulled herself together and hugged Dong Xi. She turned around and used the thin spiritual energy in her body to protect her back. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Ke Xin could not help but take in a cold breath as she turned around to rub her back. After a while, Ke Xin recovered and asked hurriedly, ¡°Sister, are you alright?¡± However, Dong Xi, who was at the side, did not react at all. She did not answer at all. Ke Xin realized that something was wrong. Ignoring the pain in her body, she immediately got up and hugged Dong Xi. Dong Xiy in her arms, motionless. Her hairband had broken at some point, and her ck hair was scattered. Ke Xin hugged Dong Xi nervously, her hands trembling as she ced them in front of Dong Xi¡¯s nose. Sensing that Dong Xi was still breathing, Ke Xin finally rxed. However, Ke Xin did not have any pills on her, so she could only feed Dong Xi two Spirit Restore Pills. Dong Xi¡¯s condition was quite serious at this time. There was almost no trace of spritual Qi in her Dantian, but the inner core suspended in the Dantian was still releasing green spritual Qi. The spirit energy of the big snake was poisonous. Previously, Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian and meridians were still protected by the spirit energy, so she could resist it. But now, she could only face it directly. It was not until Ke Xin fed her a Spirit Restore Pill that some spritual Qi appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. Dong Xi opened her eyes and saw Ke Xin¡¯s anxious expression. Ke Xin immediately asked, ¡°How is it? Do you still want the Spirit Restore Pill? I still have more.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and took out a porcin bottle from her jade pendant. She poured the Five Element Blood Clot Pill she had bought earlier and ate it. As expected of a third-grade pill, not long after she ate it, a cool feeling spread through her body and flowed through her meridians. As the difort in her body slowly died down, Dong Xi finally got up and gave Ke Xin another pill. Ke Xin remembered that Dong Xi had spent so many middle-grade spirit stones to buy the pill, and refused to take it. Even though her ears were a little ufortable, it was not a big deal. Ke Xin rejected, ¡°No need to give it to me, I¡¯m fine!¡± Dong Xi threw the pill into Ke Xin¡¯s mouth while she was speaking. Ke Xin covered her mouth and looked at Dong Xi in disbelief. Dong Xi calmly put away the pill and said, ¡°We¡¯ll treat it as your store treating us to food. One for one, what¡¯s there to be sad about? Let¡¯s talk about it after we¡¯re well, in case there are any side effects.¡± A high-level demon beast seemed to have appeared in the mine cave just now. Just a roar was enough to cause the two of them to suffer such heavy injuries. Dong Xi had transmigrated from the modern world and believed that physical injuries were irreversible. If her eardrum was injured, her hearing would decline in the future. As the pill entered her stomach, Ke Xin¡¯s torn muscles and expanded meridians were all healed by the pill. Thisfortable feeling almost made Ke Xin moan. She stood up and stretched, looking at Dong Xi and saying, ¡°As expected of a third-grade pill. It¡¯s so cool! ¡°Help me keep an eye out, I¡¯ll need to recover,¡± said Dong Xi as she sat down. Although Dong Xi¡¯s internal injuries had improved, the poison spat out by the snake¡¯s inner core had not been resolved. Her entire Dantian was covered in green spritual Qi. She ate the supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill and absorbed the spiritual energy from the pill. She used the spiritual energy to rewrap her Dantian and meridians, devouring the green spiritual energy bit by bit. Ke Xin sat beside Dong Xi, slowly recovering her spiritual Qi, but she did not dare to enter a meditative state. In this wilderness, if a demon beast came, the two of them would really be dead. Chapter 85 - Beast Tide Chapter 85: Beast Tide The sky slowly darkened, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. From time to time, there would be cultivators riding on flying swords passing by in the sky, all rushing towards the Zhang family¡¯s mine. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi, who was still meditating, and felt a little uneasy. This was the first time Ke Xin had looked down on herself so much. Her cultivation level was so low that she could not help her sister at all and could only drag her down. She bit her lip and secretly encouraged herself. When she returned to the sect, she would definitely work hard to cultivate. Even if she could not catch up to her sister, she would strive to not be the one who dragged her down. The moon came out, and Dong Xi¡¯s physique immediately took effect. She slowly gained the upper hand in his battle with the big snake¡¯s inner core. She gradually refined the green poison in her meridians. When her body was filled with purple spiritual Qi again, she opened her eyes. Hearing the roars of the various demonic beasts in the forest, Ke Xin¡¯s face turned pale. She sat beside Dong Xi and hugged her legs tightly, her entire body trembling uncontrobly. Even so, she did not forget to pay attention to Dong Xi¡¯s movements. Seeing Dong Xi move, Ke Xin immediately went forward and tugged at Dong Xi¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re finally awake, are you okay? Let¡¯s hurry and leave. There are so many demon beasts here, so many¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s Eight-nine Cultivation Technique began to operate on its own. In the next second, his expression changed. Instead of taking out the turtle given by her master, she took out the little leaf given by Song Qingfeng and put it in the middle-grade spirit stone. Dong Xi immediately sat down and cast a spell, saying to Ke Xin, ¡°Hurry up and get on, let¡¯s go!¡± Ke Xin did not hesitate for a long time and jumped up. As the magic tool flew further and further away, Ke Xin frowned and pouted, ¡°I¡¯ve been mining for a long time. How did I end up encountering such a thing? I really don¡¯t know what¡¯s hidden there. Countless cultivators rushed over during the day, but I don¡¯t know if they could catch that thing.¡± Dong Xi finally said, ¡°I think so. This ce is also under the jurisdiction of the Ningtian Sect. The sect will send people here.¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Ke Xin calmed down a little and said, ¡°There are many elders in the sect, so nothing should happen.¡± Just as she finished speaking, Dong Xi suddenly said, ¡°The Beast Tide, the Beast Tide ising.¡± Ke Xin had just heaved a sigh of relief when Dong Xi¡¯s words brought it up again. She looked at Dong Xi with her eyes wide open and said with some doubt, ¡°A Beast Tide?! ¡°There were many demon beasts in that mountain just now,¡± Dong Xi said with a nod. ¡°The aura of these demon beasts is very obvious. If we had left 15 minutester, the demon beasts would havee out.¡± Ke Xin immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and patted her chest, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing we escaped quickly. Otherwise, the demon beasts would have eaten us up!¡± After saying that, Ke Xin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned to Dong Xi, asking, ¡°Dong Xi! Do you think the sect has sent enough people? What would they do if they encountered a Beast Tide? Wouldn¡¯t we be pincered from the front and back?¡± Dong Xi could not say for sure. She immediately took out hermunication jade slip and wanted to send a message to her Master, but then he remembered that she did not have her Master¡¯s spiritual breath. She had no choice but to find him physically¡­ Forget it, I¡¯ll just look for Second Senior Srother. ¡°Second Senior Brother, it¡¯s suspected that a Beast Tide has urred near the Zhang family¡¯s mine.¡± Dong Xi said while holding the Jade slip. ¡°Do we have enough people from the sect?¡± Song Qingfeng did not do anything, and Dong Xi became anxious. She wished that the little leaf could fly a thousand miles in an instant. This matter was too important. Even though Dong Xi was a little afraid of her Eldest Senior Brother, she still decided to send a message to him. However, she did not expect that the message he sent to Eldest Senior brother would also sink like a stone in the sea. It was so strange. Could it be that Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother were both in closed-door cultivation? She could understand if Eldest Senior Brother went into seclusion, but didn¡¯t the Second Senior Brother juste out of seclusion? Why was he in seclusion again? Could it be that they were going to kill each other? Dong Xi did not have much time to think about it and immediately sent a message to Little Senior Sister Chi Yan. She could not possibly let Little Senior Sister go into seclusion as well, right? As expected, Chi Yan quickly replied, ¡°A total of 4 Golden Core experts and 16 Foundation Establishment cultivators went. Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother also went, two from the Alchemy Sect and two from the Sword Sect.¡± Dong Xi was stunned at first. No wonder neither of them replied and they were both sent there. Dong Xi frowned and quickly sent a message: ¡°Little Senior Sister! Quickly go find Master! The demon beasts aren¡¯t weak to begin with, and there¡¯s a Beast Tide not far away. I¡¯m afraid that Senior Brother and the others will be attacked from both sides and will be in danger. Quickly go and rescue them!¡± Chi Yan¡¯s voice was raised a lot as she sent the message. She said in a sharp voice, ¡°Junior Sister! How do you know all this? Could it be that you¡¯re also there?¡± Dong Xi immediately replied, ¡°I just escaped from there. Little Senior Sister, quickly go and find Master. Otherwise, it will be toote!¡± Chapter 86 - Destiny Valley Overturned Chapter 86: Destiny Valley Overturned When Chi Yan heard that Dong Xi was fine, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She told Dong Xi to quickly return to the sect, put down the jade slip, and go directly to find her Master. At this moment, Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan had arrived at the Zhang family¡¯s mine. They came with array disks and sealed the ce as soon as they arrived. The tiger-like demon beasts kept hitting the array disks, shaking the array. Liang Yan said as he injected spiritual Qi into the formation te, ¡°Immediately tell those with low cultivation to leave! The barrier might not be able to hold on for too long, hurry up!¡± The Zhang family did not dare to dy, and quickly sent people to organize the evacuation of those with lower cultivation base. Song Qingfeng nced at the people who left and asked immediately, ¡°Are there any disciples from our Ningtian Sect?¡± The manager of the Zhang family recalled and said, ¡°I think so. If I remember correctly, they were two little girls around ten years old.¡± Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan were shocked when they heard that he was around ten years old. They immediately asked at the same time, ¡°What are their names?¡± The manager of the Zhang family thought about it carefully and said seriously, ¡°They should be called Wang Wu and Liu Qi.¡± Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± Liang Yan, ¡°¡­¡± Even though the names did not match, the two of them had a strange feeling. It¡¯s her! No question about it! Song Qingfeng asked with a gloomy face, ¡°Then where did they go? Are they still alive?¡± Even though Liang Yan did not ask, his expression was ugly. When the steward saw the two of them like this, he immediately thought that these two girls probably owed money. ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± the steward replied immediately. ¡°But someone saw them take the storage bag before the monster attacked.¡± After hearing this, Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan¡¯s expressions became a little better. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°They better be fine. Otherwise, don¡¯t say that this demon beast is dead! Your Zhang family will also be buried with it!¡± Although Song Qingfeng¡¯s expression was calm, his words were like thunder. Liang Yan could not help but look at Song Qingfeng curiously. The Zhang family¡¯s manager¡¯s expression turned ugly. Originally, buying the spirit vein was a good thing, but who would have thought that it would end up like this? Besides, didn¡¯t the Dong family just go to Destiny Valley? Saying that this was a good ce? This was not a good ce at all, it was clearly a ce of great danger. On the square on themunication jade slip, many people were scrolling through messages. Some were looking for friends, and some were asking if they could go and pick up the leftovers. Most of the replies were about gossip. [Destiny Valley overturned? The Zhang family had asked Elder Li Li of Destiny Valley to read their fortune, and only then did they know that the spirit vein here was a blessednd. So, they bought it at a high price, but they didn¡¯t expect that not only did so many people die, but the mine also copsed.] Li Li? Dong Xi immediately blocked him in his heart. If he needed a divination from Destiny Valley in the future, he would definitely not look for Li Li. But this was gossip, after all. What if it was a misunderstanding? Dong Xi found a good friend, Mo Han of Destiny Valley, and asked about it. [Immortal Master Mo Han, it¡¯s said that your Destiny Valley¡¯s Immortal Master Li Li tricked the Zhang family. Is that true?] After asking, Dong Xi felt that it was too gossipy to ask so directly, so he immediately sent a message to make up for it. [If it¡¯s fake, exin it as soon as possible. Rumors are harmful!] Soon, Dong Xi received Mo Han¡¯s reply. ¡°The rumors are true.¡± Dong Xi had sent a text message, while Mo Han had sent a voice message. Dong Xi listened to Mo Han¡¯s cold voice, which was as clear and warm as a clear spring. To be able to have such a temperament, he was also a strange person. Originally, Dong Xi had thought that he would be some big man who would pick his feet, but it seemed that he had misunderstood. Could he be a bashful sissy? After a light cough, Dong Xi came back to her senses and hesitated on how to reply. Mo Han sent a message. [Fairy, you were scared but you were not in danger this time. If there¡¯s nothing else, don¡¯t leave the sect for the time being.] Dong Xi looked at the text and was stunned on the spot. She had not said anything, but Mo Han had already known that she was safe? If the Zhang family had looked for this Immortal Master Mo Han back then, could this be averted? Dong Xi pondered for a moment and wrote and drew on the jade slip for a long time. She missed the input methods of her previous life very much. [Immortal Master, your divinity is so urate. Can you help me calcte if my two Senior Brothers will be in danger this time?] Although Chi Yan had already gone to report to her Master, Dong Xi was still a little worried. As for whether the demon beast was powerful or not, Dong Xi did not know. When she had read the original book in her previous life, it had mainly been written from the perspective of the female protagonist eight yearster. Because of this, Dong Xi could not do much. She could predict the future and also wanted to have it, but she could only face the current situation head-on. Mo Han looked at the words on the jade slip and frowned. He replied, ¡°My fees are very expensive.¡± Chapter 87 - Ambiguously Dirty Chapter 87: Ambiguously Dirty When Dong Xi saw that it was a voice message, she subconsciously held the jade slip to her ear. When she heard the words, her face immediately turned red. If she did not look at the context, this voice and these words were ambiguously dirty! ¡°Dong Xi, who were you talking to?¡± Ke Xin asked. Just as he was about to say ¡®randomizen¡¯, Dong Xi reacted and said seriously, ¡°An Immortal friend who can tell fortunes.¡± Dong Xi had almost forgotten that she was only an 11-year-old child. She could not let her imagination run wild. But Ke Xin¡¯s interest was piqued and she asked, ¡°Fortune-telling? From destiny Valley?¡± Dong Xi nodded, and Ke Xin immediately said, ¡°Is the calction urate? Help me calcte too! He¡¯s asking me if I can break through to the Golden Core stage!¡± ¡°This guy said his fees are very expensive,¡± Dong Xi shrugged. Ke Xin touched her storage bag, which had no more food left, and said after a moment of silence, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m not worthy.¡± ¡°Sister, don¡¯t panic. Wait for me to talk to him,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. After saying that, Dong Xi picked up the Jade slip and wrote another line of words. [My alchemy is also very expensive. Are you going to use money to measure the value of friendship between you and a future master?] The moment the message was sent, Dong Xi immediately felt some regret. The other party had already predicted that she had just escaped from danger, so how could he not know what she was like? How could he not have calcted that she was a fake grandmaster who did not know how to refine pills? However, thinking of this, Dong Xi was very puzzled. Since he could calcte it, why did he tell them the whereabouts of the long white ice shards so easily? Was he just talking nonsense? Dong Xi was still fantasizing when Mo Han saw the message Dong Xi sent. A smile appeared on Mo Han¡¯s pale face. He shook his head and said to himself, ¡°You¡¯re boasting shamelessly.¡± After thinking for a while, Mo Han still replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your Senior Brothers are fine.¡± Regardless of whether these words were true or false, at least Dong Xi was no longer worried. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and asked tentatively. [Oh, there¡¯s one more thing. Can you help me look at my sister¡¯s luck?] Mo Han, ¡°¡­¡± In the past, he had only heard others say that he was shameless, but today, he had really seen what it meant to be shameless. Mo Han immediately sent a voice message, ¡°I don¡¯t really want your friendship with a future grandmaster.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± You can¡¯t afford to y? It was fine if he did not want to look at her sister, but how could he ¡®threaten¡¯ her? This friendship was a must. It was already locked in! Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin and sighed. ¡°Sister, I didn¡¯t seed. When I earn money in the future, I¡¯ll bring you to a master and let him read your fortune properly.¡± Ke Xin could not help butugh. ¡°I¡¯m just ying around. If you don¡¯t want to help me read my fortune, then forget it. Besides, there¡¯s no need to read it! I will definitely pass the Golden Core stage!¡± Ke Xin stood up excitedly, exuding an aura of supremacy. However, Ke Xin¡¯s movements were a little too big, and the little leaf immediately started shaking as well. Dong Xi immediately grabbed Ke Xin¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Good! I believe you! Don¡¯t talk about Golden Core, just work hard and have some luck! It was not impossible to Ascend! But¡­ let¡¯s talk while sitting down, okay?¡± Ke Xin was also shocked. She immediately sat down beside Dong Xi and asked, ¡°How long do you need to go back? I didn¡¯t notice how far we were on the airship. You¡¯re so smart to remember the way here.¡± Dong Xi raised her head and innocently said, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t know the way either.¡± Ke Xin was instantly dumbfounded. She quickly asked, ¡°What did you just say? You don¡¯t know either? Where¡­ where are we going now?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was embarrassed. She coughed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t think too much at that time. I just wanted to run away.¡± In other words, she was lost. Ke Xin bit her lip and suddenly realized that this Sister who had always been very reliable was not that reliable. Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin¡¯s confused face and pretended to be calm. ¡°It¡¯s alright. When we see a city, we¡¯ll ask around. Someone will show us the way.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words made Ke Xin think of something. Ke Xin immediately said, ¡°That¡¯s right. The sect has foundation in all the cities. When the timees, we can go directly to them. The Senior Brothers and Sisters who are stationed there will definitely send us back to the sect!¡± The two of them continued to fly for about two hours. They have already reced the spirit stones on the small leaf once, and a huge city appeared not far away. Compared to this city, the market city was very small. Dong Xinded the little leaf from a distance. Then, she took out the dead ming Frost-skin Rat and the Purple Jade Sword. She pointed the sword at the stomach of the ming Frost-skin Rat. Chapter 88 - I’m Afraid You Won’t Be Able Cut It Open Chapter 88: I¡¯m Afraid You Won¡¯t Be Able Cut It Open When Ke Xin saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, she was stunned at first. Then, she said¡±Umm¡­ What are you¡­ You want to do it yourself?¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Dong Xi asked in surprise, ¡°Is it against the rules of the Immortal cultivation world by doing it myself? ¡± Ke Xin shook her head and frowned, ¡°No, but this is a corpse after all!¡± Dong Xi finally understood. This little girl had not adapted to the world where the strong preyed on the weak. Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin and said with a serious face, ¡°Sister, you have to understand that in the Immortal cultivation world, the weak are prey to the strong. You may encounter danger at any time, whether it¡¯s the demon beasts, the ghost race, or the human race. If you don¡¯t dare to make a move, you will eventually be meat on the chopping board. The fur, inner core, and even bones of the demon beasts are all good things. Do you still want others to help you clean them up every time? ¡± Dong Xi was not very old, and the childishness of her face had not faded, but now she had a stern face like an adult, and she really did look a bit frightening. Ke Xin also listened and seriously considered this question. It was understandable that Ke Xin could not bear to kill the demon beast this time, but what about the humans in the future? Could she bear to do it? Dong Xi¡¯s words also sounded Ke Xin¡¯s rm, and she began to pay attention to the problem. Dong Xi had already asked on the jade slip and found that the fur of the ming Frost-skin Rat was good material for making shoes. It had the effect of giving the wearer a speed boost. In order to make the fur valuable, she had to think of a way topletely peel off the fur from the skin. Just as Dong Xi was about to make a move, Ke Xin said from the side, ¡°Dong Xi, why don¡¯t you let me do it?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s hand paused, but she still shook her head after some thought. Ke Xin saw Dong Xi shake her head and became anxious. She said, ¡°With you here today, I¡¯ll just take it as a way to train my courage!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was a bit embarrassed. She sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want you to practice it, but I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t be able to¡­ cut open its skin,¡± Ke Xin fell silent. She had no way of refuting Dong Xi¡¯s words. The skin of a tier-3 demon beast was not something an ordinary person could cut open. Ke Xin did not have a spirit tool and her spirit energy was pitifully low. Even though the demon beast waspletely dead now, Ke Xin was still unable to cut open its skin. Ke Xin sat on the grass and looked up at the sky, sighing, ¡°I¡¯m really useless!¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re not,¡± said Dong Xi seriously. ¡°With you here with me, I am not afraid. Don¡¯t be like this. After we¡¯re done dealing with this demon beast, we¡¯ll divide the loot of spirit stones.¡± Dong Xi inserted spiritual Qi into the Purple Jade Sword and drew it ording to the position she had chosen from the beginning. In her previous life, she had helped the head of the orphanage¡¯s mother kill chickens, so this level of blood was still within Dong Xi¡¯s tolerance. Dong Xi shaved off the demon beast¡¯s skin and flesh. Its bones and tendons could be used as medicinal herbs. Since they were entering the city in a while, she would sell them together. The ming Frost-skin Rat¡¯s storage bag was very full. When she opened it, he saw that it was full of spirit stones. There were about 80 high-grade spirit stones, over 300 mid-grade spirit stones, and even 11 supreme-grade spirit stones. Other than these, there were two crystals that Dong Xi and Ke Xin did not recognize. Dong Xi split everything in half and gave one to Ke Xin. However, Xin refused to ept it and said anxiously, ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything, and this demon beast was killed by you, so why should I get so much? If I ept it, my Dao Heart will be unstable!¡± Ke Xin was very determined. Dong Xi thought for a moment and said, ¡°You helped me attract its attention and even protected me. It¡¯s not like you didn¡¯t do anything. You should have a share of this spirit stone.¡± Ke Xin said, ¡°This is just a small contribution. You have to give it to me. Just give me two pieces.¡± The two of them argued for a while before Dong Xi finally gave Ke Xin ten mid-grade spirit stones. Ke Xin took the spirit stone and said happily, ¡°I can use these for a long time.¡± Dong Xi cast a cleaning spell to clean up the surrounding traces of skin and flesh, as well as the ones on the two of them. She tied her hair back into a ponytail and said lightly, ¡°Come, let¡¯s enter the city.¡± After walking for about an hour, the two of them arrived at the city gate. Theserge cities all had no-fly formations. Everyone who came near the city had toe down and walk in. ¡°Fotai City?¡± Dong Xi looked up and read. ¡°I know!¡± Ke Xin immediately replied excitedly. ¡°This Fotai City is one of the five main cities in the East Continent!¡± When it came to gossip, Dong Xi could notpare to Ke Xin. They had been in the cultivation world for more than half a year, but Dong Xi had no idea how many continents there were in the cultivation world, or what city it was! ¡°Which direction is this Fotai City in?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°The west!¡± Ke Xin said happily, ¡°Since we know the direction now, let¡¯s head east. Can we return to the sect then? Otherwise, we need to pay five low-grade spirit stones to enter Fotai City. If we don¡¯t go in, we can save the money.¡± Chapter 89 - Don’t Have the Heart to Harm Others Chapter 89: Don¡¯t Have the Heart to Harm Others ¡°Sister, have you ever forgotten that there¡¯s still a Beast Tideing?¡± Dong Xi shook his head. The smile on Ke Xin¡¯s face instantly disappeared. She grabbed Dong Xi¡¯s hand and walked towards Fotai City, mumbling as she walked, ¡°It¡¯s more important to stay alive. I¡¯ve earned money, but must have some money to spend.¡± After entering the city, Dong Xi first went to sell the fur of the ming Frost-skin Rat, then sold the inner core and bones. However, no one wanted this meat. Dong Xi nned to return to the sect and have a small barbecue in front of the cave. Ke Xin did not quite understand. They could have sold them together, so why did they have to sell them separately? Dong Xi patted Ke Xin¡¯s shoulder, pretending to be mature. ¡°Little girl, you can¡¯t have the heart to harm others, but you can¡¯t be unguarded!¡± The smile on Ke Xin¡¯s face froze again. Ke Xin said, ¡°You¡¯re not big, but you¡¯re quite scheming.¡± Dong Xiughed. She did not have any sense of security, which was why she was so vignt. Dong Xi¡¯s actions would indeed reduce a lot of trouble, especially in a strange ce. After asking around, the two of them finally found the Ningtian Sect¡¯s encampment in Fotai City. Looking at the sign on it, the two of them felt as if they had seen a family member. The Senior Brother at the encampment received the two of them warmly and was about to send them back to the sect when the city¡¯s protective array lit up. Following that, a deep voice rang out and entered the ears of everyone in the city, ¡°The Beast Tide ising. Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, immediately go up the city walls! After this, the City Lord will definitely give you a reward!¡± Dong Xi and Ke Xin looked at each other, then looked at their Senior Brother. ¡°Senior Brother Li He, why did this Beast Tide suddenly appear?¡± Dong Xi asked. Li He sighed and said, ¡± I¡¯ve been trying to find out some news for the past two days. It seems that the king of demonic beasts has awakened. It¡¯s useless for you to know. Stay here and don¡¯t wander around. When I¡¯m done with my work, I¡¯ll send you two back to the sect! Li He was about to leave. ¡°Senior Brother, are you also going up the city walls?¡± Ke Xin asked immediately. Li He nodded. ¡°These demon beast knows how to group together. If the humans don¡¯t stick together, there won¡¯t be many people left alive in the city when they break through.¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then took out a bottle of supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pills from his storage bag and handed it to Li He. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, Junior Sister¡¯s cultivation is too low. I can¡¯t climb the city wall. This pill in my hand might be able to help you.¡± Li He wanted to refuse. After all, these two Junior Sisters who had just entered the sect would not have anything good. It was better to keep them for his own use. However, after Dong Xi opened the box, Li He held back what he wanted to say. He thought that the Alchemy Sect were all rich indeed. He might not be able to use other things, but this supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill was really too useful at this time. ¡°Thank you, Junior Sister!¡± Li He cupped his fists at the item. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely repay you when the Beast Tide is over!¡± There was some distance between Fotai City and the Zhang family¡¯s mine. Although the Beast Tide was frightening, only a small portion of them came to Fotai City because some of them went to the mine. Dong Xi and Ke Xin stood at the entrance of the Ningtian Sect¡¯s encampment, looking up at the sky. The light blue barrier seemed to have fused with the sky. There were a few powerful beings in the air, and they could be the City Lords. The people in the city acted as if nothing had happened and did what they were supposed to do. Thinking about it, it was not wrong. Themoners could not help. Dong Xi was sitting at the door, bored. He suddenly frowned and took out hismunication Jade slip. There was a message on it. [Little Daoist Nun! Where are you?] Dong Xi did not even need to look at the name to know who had sent the message and immediately replied. [Second Senior Brother, I¡¯m at the camp of the Ningtian Sect in Fotai City.] Song Qingfeng, Liang Yangang, and the others worked together to seal the big demon and had the time to read themunication jade slip. ¡°Where is it?¡± Liang Yan asked. ¡°He went to Fotai City,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a frown. Liang Yan¡¯s expression changed and he quickly said, ¡°Not good! I just heard someone say that Fotai City also encountered a Beast Tide!¡± Hearing this, Song Qingfeng did not even bother to recover his spiritual energy. He stood up and ate a handful of supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill. ¡°This girl is so young, why is she still a cmity-ma? Wherever she went, something would happen! With such a low cultivation level, any demon beast in the Beast Tide could eat her clean!¡± As he said this, Song Qingfeng took out his spirit tool. Liang Yan had rarely seen Song Qingfeng like this. Even though they were not on good terms, he still stopped him, ¡°Fotai City is guarded by the City Lord. An ordinary Beast Tide can¡¯t rush in at all. Ask her again. Don¡¯t wait for you. She¡¯s already back in the sect.¡± Song Qingfeng frowned and said impatiently, ¡°It¡¯s best if they¡¯ve already returned. I can also kill the resting demon beasts without restraint and help them once!¡± Chapter 90 - He Looks Like a Warrior Chapter 90: He Looks Like a Warrior Then, Song Qingfeng disappeared in front of everyone. Seeing that Song Qingfeng had disappeared, Liang Yan started to think. He never knew that Song Qingfeng was so enthusiastic. However, Song Qingfeng seemed to be¡­ too concerned about Dong Xi¡¯s matter. It was really strange. The manager of the Zhang family stood at the side and asked with a worried expression, ¡°Daoist Liang Yan, can this great demon still escape?¡± Only then did Liang Yane back to his senses. He looked at the Zhang family¡¯s manager indifferently and said, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. Go back and tell your family head not to continue mining the spirit vein here.¡± The Zhang family¡¯s manager immediately frowned and said in a panic, ¡°How can I do that? We spent a huge sum of money to buy this spirit vein!¡± Hmph! Liang Yan snorted coldly. ¡°You want to continue mining? Sure, but get your Family Head to kill this demon.¡± The Zhang family¡¯s manager fell silent. The people of the Ningtian Sect had to rely on a seventh-tier formation disk and so many high-grade talismans to barely seal the great demon. If the Zhang family wanted to kill this great demon, the price would be enough to buy another spirit vein. Liang Yan continued, ¡°This spirit vein was nted here on purpose to seal this big demon. Your mining has loosened the seal. The next time the big demones out, the Zhang family will have to think of a way.¡± When the Zhang family¡¯s manager heard this, he was shocked. He asked with a bitter face, ¡°Daoist Liang Yan, I wonder what kind of great demon is this? Please tell me, so that I can go back and exin to the Family Head.¡± ¡°Spirit Illusion Night Spirit,¡± Liang Yan replied. The Zhang family¡¯s steward followed, ¡°Spirit Illusion Night Spirit?¡± Just as he was about to continue asking, he raised his head and realized that Liang Yan had disappeared. The Zhang family¡¯s manager stomped his feet, took out his magic tool, and flew toward the main house. The Family Head must have been deceived at that time, which was why he spent so much money to buy this spirit vein. He did not expect that there would be such danger inside. Those who deceive the master must be punished! Song Qingfeng sent a message to Dong Xi, telling him not to run around and to stay in the city. Then, he drove the spirit tool to the extreme. The distance to Fotai City was not far. With Song Qingfeng¡¯s speed, it would not take long for him to get there. Seeing that Futai city was safe and sound, Song Qingfeng, who had been rushing nervously, heaved a sigh of relief. The light blue barrier was like an eggshell, protecting the entire Fotai City. The Beast Tide kept attacking the formation, and there were a few powerful people in the air who kept injecting spiritual energy into the formation. Song Qingfeng looked at the Beast Tide with disgust. He raised his hand and cast a spell to attack the demon beasts that were charging at the array. Now, Song Qingfeng was also in thete-stage of the Golden Core stage. These demon beasts that had not yet awakened their intelligence could not withstand his attacks at all. In an instant, he attracted the hatred of the demon beasts, and all of them turned to attack him. Song Qingfeng took out many talismans from his storage ring and threw them around as if they were free. Inside the barrier, on the city wall, the people who were desperately killing beasts for the City Lord¡¯s reward felt a little sour in their hearts as they watched the others throw outrge amounts of talismans. At this moment, a voice came from somewhere, ¡°Wow! That person was so brave! That¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome!¡± Then, everyone also recognized him and said, ¡°Look, this is Daoist Master Song Qingfeng, one of the ten most handsome men in the world of cultivators! I¡¯ve seen it before, I can¡¯t be wrong!¡± Song Qingfeng himself is even more handsome than those portraits! ¡°I feel like I¡¯m in love!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Master Song Qingfeng to be such a warm-hearted person!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi and Ke Xin stood on the roof of the Ningtian Sect¡¯s encampment and could see into the distance. Unexpectedly, just as she looked up, she saw a man standing outside the barrier, throwing talismans as if they were free. Dong Xi narrowed his eyes and nudged Ke Xin, who was beside him, ¡°Sister, look, doesn¡¯t that person look like a peacock spreading its tail?¡± Ke Xin took a look and quickly said, ¡°I think it¡¯s Second Senior rother.¡± Dong Xi took two steps back and said with his eyes wide open, ¡°Sister, your eyesight is so good that you can see it from so far away? Besides, Second Senior Brother should be fighting with that big demon again, right? Why would he be here?¡± Ke Xin¡¯s face was also filled with confusion as she said, ¡°You can¡¯t even recognize your Senior Brother? Even if you can¡¯t recognize him, you should be able to recognize his magic tool, right? Don¡¯t you recognize the folding fan under his feet?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Raising his head, Dong Xi saw the folding fan at the man¡¯s feet. It looked very familiar, but it had grown so big that she could not recognize it at first. Now that he heard Ke Xin say this, she took a closer look and realized that it really was Second Senior Brother¡¯s magic tool. But what was he doing here? Thinking of Song Qingfeng¡¯s message, Dong Xi suddenly thought, ¡®Second Senior Brother didn¡¯te here to save me, did he? It turned out that I¡¯m a Little Junior Sister who was doted on?¡¯ Chapter 91 - Worthy of Being One of the Top Ten Most Beautiful Men Chapter 91: Worthy of Being One of the Top Ten Most Beautiful Men A cool breeze blew past, and Dong Xi felt a chill. Goosebumps slowly rose all over his body. Dong Xi could not help but shiver and immediately cleared the thoughts in her mind. What a joke. Song Qingfeng wouldn¡¯t be happy if he didn¡¯t mess with her. Why would hee all the way here to save her? In order to save the people, it was still more credible. Ke Xin, on the other hand, looked at Song Qingfeng outside the city with a fangirl look. Ke Xin said, ¡°Second Senior Brother is indeed one of the top ten most handsome men. Look at his movements. He¡¯s so cool and handsome!¡± Sure enough, no matter how big or small a woman was, she would never be able to reject a handsome man. ¡°Of course he¡¯s handsome. You¡¯ll be very handsome if you scatter that many talismans,¡± said Dong Xi. Ke Xin¡¯s hand that was tugging on Dong Xi¡¯s sleeve paused. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said sincerely, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Dong Xi raised her head and looked at the screen-opening tool outside the city. No, it was Second Senior Brother. She was a little worried. It was a Beast Tide outside. Although Song Qingfeng had a high cultivation level and many talismans, they were not inexhaustible. At that time, wouldn¡¯t Song Qingfeng be food for the demonic beasts? At this moment, another person appeared not far away. Even if this person turned into ashes, Dong Xi would not be mistaken. ¡°Sister, look!¡± Ke Xin eximed excitedly, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother is here too!¡± ¡°It seems that the great demon in the mine has already been dealt with,¡± said Dong Xi after some thought. ¡°That¡¯s for sure!¡± Ke Xin beamed with joy and said, ¡°If the Eldest Senior Brother and the Second Senior Brother of the Alchemy Sect attack at the same time, any demon beast will have to submit to them obediently!¡± Hearing her say this, Dong Xi¡¯s heart also started to surge. Was this the pride of being in the same sect? Seeing the Senior Brother who came to help, Qingfeng song¡¯s face turned dark. He asked lightly, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng calmly and said, ¡°That girl is also my Junior Sister. Why are you here?¡± Although Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan did not get along, he had other ns when he saw Liang Yan. Song Qingfeng put away the talisman and said to Liang Yan, ¡°You stand guard for me.¡± After saying that, the folding fan under his feet flew back into his hand. He stood in the air and made a hand seal with both hands at a speed so fast that no one could see it clearly. Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng had been fellow disciples for a hundred years. Every year, the two would spar countless times, so Liang Yan was very familiar with Song Qingfeng¡¯s techniques and moves. Seeing Song Qingfeng¡¯s hand seals and the terrifying power that appeared in his hands¡­ The second move, Fearless Array, was one of Song Qingfeng¡¯s killing moves. After a long time, Song Qingfeng opened his eyes. There was a faint golden light in his eyes. His face was calm and solemn, like a god who saved people in distress. He pushed out the array map in his hand. A ball of golden light exploded in an instant, and Dong Xi, who had been sitting on the roof, stood up subconsciously. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened, her face full of shock. She muttered, ¡°F*ck! This, this!¡± Ke Xin did not understand why Dong Xi was so excited. She thought that Dong Xi was simply admiring her Senior Brother, so she stood up and smiled foolishly. Dong Xi looked at the golden light in the distance, and then at the silly girl next to him, Ke Xin. Fortunately, this girl did not seem too smart, or else she would have realized that the move Dong Xi used to kill the ming Frost-skin Rat was simr to the one Second Senior Brother was using now. It turned out that Dong Xi was not the only one who knew how to form hand seals. Song Qingfeng must have learned it from the Cultivation Techniques Hall as well. The burden in Dong Xi¡¯s heart suddenly lightened a lot. Since everyone knew how to do it, there was no need for Dong Xi to continue hiding it! When she returned to the sect this time, she would raise her cultivation a little. Next time, she could not secretly use the big snake¡¯s spiritual energy. What if this bit of spiritual energy caused the big snake¡¯s enemies toe after him? That would be terrible, right? ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Since Second Senior Brother had used such a powerful move, the Beast Tide should be over, right?¡± Turning around, Dong Xi found Ke Xin crying. She was shocked and immediately asked, ¡°Sister, are you crying tears of joy? Do you really have to do this?¡± Ke Xin raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and slowly said, ¡°No, the golden light is too ring!¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. As the two conversed, the golden light slowly dissipated, and Dong Xi could see the outside of the city clearly. Song Qingfeng¡¯s big move created an empty space in the Beast Tide, and those demon beasts that were gathered did not even have a corpse. Dong Xi¡¯s heart ached when he saw this scene. So many demon beast furs and inner cores. That was all money! When he thought of the talismans that Song Qingfeng threw out, Dong Xi was in so much pain that he could not breathe. This prodigal Senior Brother, why did he not use his ultimate move earlier? He could have just used it immediately, and there was no need to waste so many spirit talismans, right? Chapter 92 - I Wouldn’t Even Bother With You Chapter 92: I Wouldn¡¯t Even Bother With You Song Qingfeng opened his eyes. The spiritual energy in his body was almost used up, and it was difficult for him to maintain his posture in the air. But at this time, the Eldest Senior Brother, who was far away from him, suddenly appeared beside him and stealthily held Song Qingfeng, helping him to stabilize himself. ¡°Let go,¡± Song Qingfeng frowned and said. Liang Yan immediately stuffed a supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill into Song Qingfeng¡¯s mouth and said lightly, ¡°If I wasn¡¯t afraid that you would embarrass the sect, I wouldn¡¯t even bother with you! While you¡¯re bickering with me, why don¡¯t you hurry up and defend the city?!¡± After taking the supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill, plus the spirit tools that Song Qingfeng had, he quickly recovered more than half of his spiritual energy. ¡°Protect?¡± Song Qingfeng asked in surprise. Seeing that Song Qingfeng had recovered a lot, Liang Yan let go of Song Qingfeng¡¯s hand and took out his sword. ¡°You¡¯ve already used your ultimate move,¡± Liang Yan said. ¡°Why would I just stand there and watch? Don¡¯t even think about going back and using this matter toin to Master.¡± With that, Liang Yan charged out with his sword in hand. Dong Xi clutched her chest. She could not care less about the pain as she stared at Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s movements. It was also Dong Xi¡¯s first time seeing someone use sword techniques with her own eyes, and she also knew what sword techniques were like. Liang Yan used a heavy sword, and her swordsmanship was in and unremarkable. However, it was because of this that Dong Xi could see it even more clearly. In Dong Xi¡¯s eyes, the sword was like an extension of his arm. The Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s movements were neither fast nor slow, but every time he moved, the sword seemed to have the momentum to stir up the wind and clouds. The sword shed down with the power of heaven and earth. When it hit the demon beast outside, it immediately cut a three-meter-wide deep pit. Even the City Lord of Fotai City sighed. ¡°He¡¯s so young and has alreadyprehended so much. His future is boundless!¡± At this moment, the chaos in Dong Xi¡¯s mind was like the clouds had been cleared and the moon had appeared. She hurriedly sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and entered a profound realm. A sword was a weapon. Even if it was a spirit tool or a treasured tool, it would be too narrow to use it as a medium to unleash one¡¯s strength. Borrowing the power of the sword, the power of heaven and earth, the power of thunder and lightning. In this way, she could borrow the force, using it for herself. Even if it was an ordinary sword, it could not be underestimated. ¡­ Ke Xin sat by the side and watched as Dong Xi suddenly entered a meditative state. Although she did not know what was going on, she did not dare disturb her and could only stand guard obediently by Dong Xi¡¯s side. After the Beast Tide outside the city was resolved, Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan entered the city with Li He and returned to the encampment of the Ningtian Sect. Song Qingfeng shouted as soon as he entered the door, ¡°Little Daoist Nun! Hurry up ande out!¡± He did not see Dong Xi for a long time, but instead, Ke Xin ran down from above. Ke Xin cupped her fists and bowed to her Senior Brothers. Li He asked, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi isn¡¯t here?¡± Ke Xin pointed at the pavilion with a strange expression and said, ¡°She¡¯s meditating on the roof.¡± When Liang Yan and the other two heard this, they were all shocked. Wasn¡¯t her attitude too good? The Beast Tide had surrounded the city, yet Dong Xi was still able to enter a meditative state and cultivate? Li He was also very surprised. He asked Liang Yan, ¡°Is Junior Sister Dong Xi always this hardworking?¡± Liang Yan did not say anything, but Song Qingfeng said proudly, ¡°That¡¯s right. Otherwise, how could she improve so quickly with such poor aptitude?¡± It was rare for Liang Yan to agree with Song Qingfeng, ¡°That¡¯s right, Little Junior Sister has always been this hardworking.¡± As soon as Liang Yan finished his words, Song Qingfeng had already walked up and said lightly, ¡°I¡¯ll go up to see her.¡± The rest of the people quickly followed. When they reached the roof, they saw that Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were closed. It was as if her entire person was about to merge into the world. They were all very shocked. At this moment, Dong Xi was no different from everything on the roof. He could not feel her spiritual aura at all. They could not even feel her breathing or heartbeat. The Great Dao was the simplest. The more simple it was, the more it showed that the Dao she hadprehended was not ordinary. The corners of Li He¡¯s lips curled up into a bitter and envious smile. He looked at Ke Xin and asked, ¡°Junior Sister, you said this is meditation?¡± Ke Xin didn¡¯t understand why Li He had such an expression, so she asked in confusion, ¡°Isn¡¯t this meditation?¡± Song Qingfeng gently waved his folding fan and said with a smile, ¡°Of course not. She¡¯s in a state of Enlightenment now. I didn¡¯t expect this Little Junior Sister to be a genius! Hearing Song Qingfeng¡¯s words, Ke Xin¡¯s face was also filled with happiness, and she also puffed out her chest. Even the Alchemy Sect¡¯s Second Senior Brother said that the sisters were geniuses. The sisters were too powerful! Ke Xin had such an amazing sister, so of course, she would be proud! Liang Yan noticed Ke Xin¡¯s small action and asked, ¡°When did she start to gain Enlightenment? What did you see?¡± Chapter 93 - The Future Grandmaster of Alchemy Chapter 93: The Future Grandmaster of Alchemy Ke Xin thought about it seriously for a moment. When she looked up, she saw the three of them staring at her. She said sternly, ¡°That¡¯s right. It was when she saw Eldest Senior Brother using a sword.¡± ¡°What?¡± He had also seen Eldest Senior Brother use a sword, but why did he not have any Enlightenment? Li He coughed and continued to ask, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, is Junior Sister Dong Xi from the Sword Sect?¡± Song Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Li He and said, ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯re shallow.¡± Li He was stunned and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± In the next moment, Ke Xin¡¯s voice carried a hint of showing off and naively said, ¡°My Sister is a future alchemy grandmaster, how could she be from the Sword Sect?¡± Li He looked at Dong Xi and Liang Yan in disbelief and whispered, ¡°Umm¡­ Eh¡­¡± Forget about Senior Brother Liang Yan. After all, he was a genius. But now, another one hade! The two alchemists were even more talented than Li He, who was from the Sword Sect? Li He suddenly felt a little tense. Liang Yan also realized that Li He¡¯s Dao Heart was unstable. He looked at Li He and said, ¡°Li He.¡± The voice carried a Buddhist mantra. The others could not hear anything, but to Li He, it was deafening. Li He came back to his senses. Liang Yan said, ¡°Everyone has different opportunities. It¡¯s only a matter of time.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s casual words almost caused Li He¡¯s heart to waver. Embarrassed, Li He cupped his fists at Liang Yan and said, ¡°Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. ¡°We shouldn¡¯t disturb Junior Sister¡¯s enlightenment. Eldest Senior Brother can stay here to protect her.¡± Liang Yan was speechless. He frowned and said in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯re really good at instigating people.¡± A glint of sess shed in Song Qingfeng¡¯s eyes as he said with a smile, ¡°If Senior Brother is not willing, I can stay here.¡± ¡°Forget it, you guys can leave now,¡± Liang Yan said with a wave of his hand. Song Qingfeng walked down with Ke Xin and Li He, and the low-level disciples in the encampment immediately served tea. Song Qingfeng took a sip, frowned, and stopped drinking. Ke Xin, on the other hand, finished the entire cup of tea and asked Song Qingfeng, ¡°Senior Brother, how much more time does Little Xi need?¡± Song Qingfeng yed with his folding fan and said lightly, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. It depends on Dong Xi¡¯sprehension. If she¡¯s good, she might even take a year or so.¡± Of course, Dong Xi was still young and did not have much experience, so she probably would not need that long. Ke Xin¡¯s mouth was wide open in shock. Song Qingfeng put away the fan in his hand, stood up, and asked, ¡°Do you have a room? I¡¯m going to rest first. When that girl wakes up, just call me. ¡± However, no one had expected this. This wait really took half a year. In this period of time, Ke Xin had already broken through to the second level of the Qi Refinement stage. Although her cultivation level was still low, she had already reached the threshold of the new disciple trial. Eldest Senior Brother was still meditating on the roof, guarding Dong Xi while Second Senior Brother remained in his room. Ke Xin was so bored that only Li He was able to chat with her. Li He said, ¡°This year¡¯s trial for new disciples will be led by Eldest Senior Brother Liang Yan. He will give each of you a spirit talisman. If you encounter any danger, you will automaticallye out of the Secret Realm.¡± Ke Xin was both curious and uneasy. She pressed her head on the table and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, what¡¯s inside the Secret Realm? Is it dangerous?¡± Li He answered, ¡°There are all sorts of things inside. Spirit nts, demon beasts, and some demon beasts can even be tamed as demon pets. There are also some rare natural treasures. As for those demon beasts, they were all selected by the sect to train and reward new disciples. Although it¡¯s a little dangerous, Immortal cultivation is a heaven-defying cultivation in the first ce. How can there be no danger at all? Compared to the other Secret Realms, the sect¡¯s newbie Secret Realm is already considered very safe. You¡¯ll know when you get there.¡± Ke Xin¡¯s interest was piqued when she heard Li He¡¯s words. She could not wait to enter the Secret Realm. ¡°I hope Little Xi wakes up soon,¡± Ke Xin said with a sigh. ¡°It¡¯ll be a pity if she misses the Secret Realm.¡± Li He smiled and said, ¡°If she can have more time to gain Enlightenment, perhaps she will gain more than going to the Secret Realm. Eldest Senior Brother is right. Everyone has their own opportunities. Whether it¡¯s a blessing or a disaster, you can¡¯t avoid it.¡± After two days, Liang Yan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. He looked at the little girl who had been sitting there for half a year without moving. Suddenly, he realized that the little girl¡¯s fingers moved, and so did her shoulders. ¡°The little brat should be waking up soon,¡± Liang Yan muttered to himself. A smile appeared on his face, and the next moment, he heard a loud sneeze. Chapter 94 - Thank You, Senior Brother Chapter 94: Thank You, Senior Brother The people in the room were shocked and ran upstairs. Dong Xi was just about to stand up, but she swayed and inhaled a breath of cold air. Liang Yan hurriedly stepped forward to support Dong Xi¡¯s arm. Dong Xi turned around and saw Liang Yan¡¯s face. She revealed a smile that was uglier than crying and called out, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother.¡± Liang Yan immediately used his spiritual energy to probe Dong Xi¡¯s meridians. He asked, ¡°Where do you feel ufortable?¡± Dong Xi bent over and rubbed her legs, saying with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m fine. My legs are just numb from sitting for too long.¡± Liang Yan was a little speechless. Coincidentally, everyone in the room had alsoe up to the roof and heard Dong Xi¡¯s words. Ke Xin couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. Dong Xi looked at the crowd with an embarrassed expression. No one had expected her to be on the roof for so long. She was covered in dust, and even the slightest movement would cause her to fall off. Dong Xi could not hold it in and sneezed. Liang Yan could not stand it and cast a cleaning spell. Only then did Dong Xi feel better. She cupped her fists at Liang Yan and said, ¡°Many thanks, Senior Brother.¡± Unexpectedly, just as she raised her hand, her sleeves actually became much shorter. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the clothes and said, ¡°Ah¡­ I seem to have grown taller?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Ke Xin said with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re getting older, so you grow taller. Isn¡¯t that good?¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed good,¡± Dong Xi said in a low voice. Dong Xi furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before continuing, ¡°When we were buying clothes, the waiter said that the clothes would automatically be fitting. Why is it short now?¡± When Li He heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he said with a smile, ¡°Maybe there¡¯s a one-time use formation on the clothes. It won¡¯t change if you keep growing taller.¡± ¡°You really get what you pay for,¡± Dong Xi muttered with a frown. Li He pondered for a moment, then took out a set of clothes from his storage ring and handed it to Dong Xi. Li He said, ¡°Junior Sister, I haven¡¯t worn this set of clothes yet. If you don¡¯t mind, you can put it on first.¡± Before Dong Xi could say anything, Liang Yan, who was beside him, said, ¡°No need,¡± Dong Xi turned to look at Liang Yan. Liang Yan also took out a set of clothes and said, ¡°This is a set of Sky Sea Silk Clothing. I don¡¯t like this color, so Junior Sister can just wear it.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s gaze fell on the white clothes in Liang Yan¡¯s hands, then back to the white clothes he was wearing. She was a little confused. How did Eldest Senior Brother lie without panicking or blushing? Dong Xi bit her lip and cupped her fists at Liang Yan. ¡°I don¡¯t deserve it. I really don¡¯t dare to ept such good clothes from you.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s expression did not change, as if he was not surprised by Dong Xi¡¯s words. He said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. If Junior Sister feels bad, remember that you still ow me 60 years¡¯ worth of pills. When we go back, Junior Sister will help to refine them and hand them over to the sect.¡± What? 60 years? Dong Xi was dumbfounded. Even if she added both of them, it did not even surpass 30 years! Now, Liang Yan was asking Dong Xi to work for him for 60 years just for one piece of clothing? Dong Xi cupped her fists and continued, ¡°Senior Brother, I feel that although the clothes are a little short now, they¡¯re not bad. Let¡¯s leave it at that for now.¡± Lian Yang frowned. Before he could say anything, Ke Xin went up to Dong Xi and whispered to her. Ke Xin asked, ¡°Little Xi, you¡¯ve taken quite a long time this time. What did you gain Enlightenment about?¡± Since they were all from the same sect, Dong Xi did not hide anything and casually said, ¡°Iprehended a trace of borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth for your own use.¡± Then, Dong Xi Saw Ke Xin¡¯s bright eyes. Ke Xin quickly said, ¡°So awesome? Show me what you¡¯ve got!¡± Dong Xi immediately said with some difficulty, ¡°What? Are you sure you want to see it?¡± Ke Xin immediately nodded like a little chick eating. Dong Xi sighed helplessly. ¡°Okay then.¡± When Dong Xi said this, Li He also looked at her expectantly. He was waiting to see what Dong Xi hadprehended in half a year. Dong Xi stretched out her hand, and with a thought, a leaf from a tree on the roof fell into her hand. Dong Xi immediately held up the leaf happily and showed it to everyone, ¡°Take a look? Aren¡¯t I amazing?¡± Ke Xin was dumbfounded. Following Dong Xi¡¯s actions, she controlled her spiritual Qi and took a leaf from the tree. She then asked, ¡°Is it like this?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She looked at the leaf in her hand and then at her own, deep in thought. Only Liang Yan understood that Dong Xi had borrowed the power of the wind. The leaves had been delivered to Dong Xi by the wind, while Ke Xin¡¯s leaves had been plucked by her own spiritual energy. Liang Yan thought that his Little Junior Sister had such goodprehension at such a young age. Her future was bound to be boundless. The few of them came down from the roof. Dong Xi seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked, ¡°Has the Beast Tide retreated?¡± ¡°It has subsided a long time ago,¡± Ke Xin said. ¡°You¡¯ve been in a state of Enlightenment for half a year. The outside world has been peaceful for a long time.¡± Chapter 95 - Wishful Thinking Chapter 95: Wishful Thinking ¡°What? Half a year?¡± Dong Xi was extremely shocked. There was no time in cultivation. This saying was indeed true. Dong Xi did not think that the days would pass so quickly. No wonder her clothes were so small.
¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Ke Xin said. ¡°Half a year. In the beginning, the seniors thought that you would wake up in at most half a month. No one expected you to actually take half a year.¡± While they were talking, Li He called out Song Qingfeng. Every time Song Qingfeng appeared, he paid great attention to his appearance, but this time, he was in a daze. ¡°Little Daoist Nun,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°You¡¯ve been in a state of Enlightenment for a long time. If you continue like this, even I¡¯m going to break through here.¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng¡¯s confused face and knew that he had just woken up. Could it be that he could cultivate in his sleep? Dong Xi was extremely envious of such an ability. She asked, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re cultivating in your sleep? Can you teach me?¡± Hearing this question, Song Qingfeng smiled and said, ¡°Wishful thinking.¡± Dong Xi immediately wilted andy on the table. When Liang Yan saw Dong Xi¡¯s dejection, he exined, ¡°There¡¯s no such technique. It¡¯s because of the Song family¡¯s bloodline.¡±
Dong Xi was even more envious. No wonder those ns could have such a high status in the cultivation world. He had already won from the moment he was born, and the others could only admit defeat. ¡°That¡¯s so great!¡± Dong Xi sighed. Dong Xi¡¯s talent was average and she did not have any bloodline, so she could only read the inner scroll. Song Qingfeng yed with his folding fan and said, ¡°Stop sighing. It¡¯s been half a year. Hurry up and go back. Otherwise, Master will think that Eldest Senior Brother and I sold you to someone else!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she also recalled the great snake that had been left in her Immortal¡¯s cave for half a year. In her previous life, Dong Xi had also raised a cat. Once, she had gone out for three days because she had to do something. When she returned home, the kitten was mad at Dong Xi. Not only did it not let Dong Xi touch it, but it even scratched Dong Xi. She had left the snake for half a year this time. How would the snake deal with her?
Forget it. Anyway, she had not been back for a few months. At most, she would just let the snake throw a little tantrum. They bade farewell to Li He and took the teleportation formation of the Ningtian Sect. Originally, 20 people were needed to return from Fotai city, but Second Senior Brother was rich and generous, so he just set off. After returning to the sect, Dong Xi was in a good mood. Although the Ningtian Sect did not treated her any different, to Dong Xi, who currently had no family or friends, it could be considered a ce to return to. Dong Xi¡¯s stretchedzily bade farewell to the others, took out her little leaf, and prepared to return to her cave. But Song Qingfeng asked her to wait. Dong Xi turned around and threw a cloth on her face. ¡°Senior Brother, what are you doing?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. ¡°Look at your clothes,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°They¡¯re really tattered. Wouldn¡¯t you be disgracing me if you go out? Go and change your clothes immediately.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t ept this!¡± Dong Xi felt that hermunistic willpower was about to be broken. They can¡¯t keep using materialistic things to erode her poor soul!
Song Qingfeng immediatelyughed and said, ¡°Little Daoist Nun, do you really want to calcte it this way? Then how much should I charge for the little leaf?¡± The solemness on Dong Xi¡¯s face instantly copsed. In the end, she could only mutter in a low voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to lend it to me first? I can just pay the rent.¡± Dong Xi lowered her head. Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s ponytail. Song Qingfeng suddenly felt likeughing. He had never met such a girl before. Sometimes she was clever, and sometimes she was like a fool. Song Qingfeng also said, ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Dong Xi looked at the storage ring with a pained expression and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, how much is the rent for this?¡± Song Qingfeng yed with the folding fan in his hand, thought for a moment and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask Junior Sister to help me make all the pills I owe the sect!¡± After Dong Xi heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately asked, ¡°Senior Brother, how many years do you owe?¡± Song Qingfeng said with a trace of mockery, ¡°Not a lot, just 60 years.¡±
Dong Xi, ¡°¡­.¡± Dong Xi was a little suspicious now. Had Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother already discussed that they both owed 60 years? Why didn¡¯t the Sect Master drive them out? ¡°Can I refuse?¡± Dong Xi tried to struggle. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible. Perhaps you want to help me with something else?¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s expression was as if he was waiting for Dong Xi to jump in. Dong Xi took the clothes and asked curiously, ¡°What is it?¡± Song Qingfeng turned his head and said with a proud smile, ¡°Can you help Senior Brother catch two deep sea Flood Dragons to use as mounts?¡± The anticipation on Dong Xi¡¯s face immediately disappeared and she quickly said, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll choose alchemy and refine you the pills!¡± Chapter 96 - Debt Chapter 96: Debt Song Qingfeng turned around with a smile, and his figure slowly disappeared. Before he disappeared, Song Qingfeng said, ¡°After refining 60 years¡¯ worth of pills, the debt between us will be cleared. That little leaf will be yours.¡± Dong Xi retracted her gaze and looked at the clothes in her arms. She thought of the debt she was in and wanted to cry, but she couldn¡¯t. By the way, Dong Xi still owed him half a year. It was a total of 60 and a half years. ¡°Forget it, I haven¡¯t refined any medicinal pills yet anyway, so I¡¯ll just treat it as practice.¡± By the time all these debts were paid off, even if her alchemy technique was not top-notch, it should be close to top-notch by then. At that time, she would be considered an alchemy master! Dong Xi put the clothes made of an unknown material into her storage ring, took out her little leaf, and flew back to the cave abode. They passed by the small wooden house outside. A year had passed, and many things had already grown in the garden. The flowers were also exceptionally beautiful. Dong Xi could not help but sigh. At this time, the noonday sun shone on the flowers, making them even more vibrant. Seeing that the wooden house seemed to be empty, Dong Xi thought about how she had watered it for a long time. It would not be too much to pick a flower and bring it back, right? Just one flower was good. Dong Xi controlled the magic tool tond in front of the flower garden, and a refreshing fragrance wafted over. Dong Xi took a deep breath. Her face was filled with happiness. She lowered his head and saw a bright red flower. This flower seemed to have been watered by blood. Dong Xi was about to ruthlessly destroy the flower! After thinking for a moment, she did not take it down in the end. Instead, she dug it up along with the soil and roots. At that time, would it not be better to focus on the outside of the cave? Dong Xi had just reached out to push away a bit of the soil when she touched something hard. She dug it out curiously and found two scales. Dong Xi picked up the scale and pondered for a moment. Her expression changed and he hurriedly put it away in her storage ring. Then, she quickly dug out the flower. She used an earth-type spell to restore the nursery before jumping onto the magic tool and flying toward the inner sect. Dong Xi thought for a moment. The ck snake should like to sleep very much, so it probably would not wake up now, right? Dong Xi decided to first make a trip to her Master¡¯s cave abode. Only when she arrived did she discover that her Master had actually gone into seclusion. Left with no choice, Dong Xi could only return to her cave abode and quietly open the restrictions. She had thought that the cave would be full of dust, but recently, she found that the cave was very clean, and the snake was not here. ¡°He left?¡± Dong Xi muttered to herself. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s fine if he leaves. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve raised the big snake for so long, and he didn¡¯t even say goodbye when he left.¡± Dong Xi went outside to nt the flower, then came to the pond in the backyard to take a bath. She held a handkerchief in one hand and some flower petals in the other, nning to take a flower bath. However, she did not expect to see a man by the pond when he walked over. The lower half of his snake tail was reflecting the water, and his upper body was already wet and stuck to his body. Dong Xi could clearly see the outline of his figure. She did not expect that someone would shower without taking off their clothes. What kind of habit was this? Su Cheng turned over and supported his head with one hand. He squinted at the little girl who seemed to be a little taller. He had thought that this girl had escaped with his inner core. Now, she had actually returned with some flowers. Su Cheng could clearly feel his aura all over the flower. Dong Xi immediately felt a little embarrassed. She tried to break the awkwardness by ying dumb and said, ¡°Haha, it¡¯s been a long time,¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for half a year, and your cultivation hasn¡¯t improved at all,¡± Su Cheng said coldly. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Suddenly, she did not want to pay attention to the snake. She cast a cleaning spell and walked into the cave. As soon as Dong Xi entered the door, Su Cheng followed. Dong Xi looked at him, thinking that the snake was going to say something venomous, but Su Cheng said, ¡°Where did this flowere from?¡± When Dong Xi heard the ck snake change the topic, she did not react in time. The snake felt a little bored and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m still looking for the scales that I left in the outer sect residence.¡± Dong Xi took out the scale from her storage ring and handed it to the snake. Dong Xi said, ¡°Here, I¡¯m returning it to you.¡± Su Cheng looked at it indifferently and casually said, ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Anyway, Su Cheng could not put the scales back. The scales would grow again the next time it shed, so it was useless to keep it. The snake¡¯s words surprised Dong Xi. This great demon had given her his inner core and scales? Was he going to give him the snake blood next time? Finally, possession? It shouldn¡¯t be, right? Dong Xi¡¯s aptitude was average, but the ck snake actually ¡®took a fancy¡¯ to her? Dong Xi¡¯s face turned pale as she thought about it. She quickly said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± Su Cheng nced at her and said with disdain, ¡°I¡¯m not willing to give it to you either. But you¡¯re just too weak. If you suddenly die, you¡¯ll implicate my inner core!¡± Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: It’s Time to Leave Chapter 97: It¡¯s Time to Leave When Dong Xi heard this, she felt a little embarrassed. ¡°Hmph, even if you die, I can¡¯t die!¡± Dong Xi gritted his teeth. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Su Cheng nodded. ¡°Good people don¡¯t live long, but evil people live for a thousand years.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°??¡± Could snakes be so shameless? Didn¡¯t the ck snake have any sense? How could he say such vicious words? ¡°Don¡¯t you have any conscience?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Who¡¯s the scourge, you or me?¡± Su Cheng frowned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t. All I know is that a little girl ate my inner core.¡± Dong Xi was instantly furious. She said, ¡°Then quickly take the inner core out and leave this ce.¡± Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi and softly grunted. His voice was so gentle that Dong Xi thought she had heard wrong. Then Su Cheng said, ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s time to leave. I¡¯ll leave the inner core with you for the time being.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, ¡°You¡¯re not even bringing your inner core?¡± ¡°You really think I don¡¯t want to?¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. Dong Xi saw the hidden bitterness in Su Cheng¡¯s eyes. After a moment of silence, Dong Xi said, ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to bring it. When your cultivation base is back, remember toe back and get it. I was really screwed over by this inner core.¡± Then, Dong Xi gave the two bottles of Five Element Blood Clot Pills she had exchanged at Rainbow Store to Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, ¡°I used the inner core you gave me to change for some medicine.¡± After saying that, she even gave him amunication jade slip. Dong Xi continued, ¡°This is themunication jade slip. I¡¯ve bought it for you. You can use it after you drip your blood on it.¡± After giving everything to Su Cheng, Dong Xi turned around and walked to the practice room. As she walked, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to close the door when you leave. I¡¯m going to cultivate!¡± Su Cheng looked at the things in his hands and then at Dong Xi¡¯s back, a strange look shing in his eyes. Demon beasts all grew up barbarically and basically did not know how to refine pills. The Five Element Blood Clot Pill was at least a third-grade pill. It was worth a lot among demonic beasts, and she actually gave it away? Su Cheng touched the porcin bottle, still confused. Weren¡¯t humans all cunning and selfish? Why was this little girl so different from other humans? Su Cheng¡¯s divine sense examined Dong Xi¡¯s body and found that she was wearing a bead ne, but it could only block the detection of Foundation Establishment cultivators. The mark Su Cheng gave her could block anyone below the Golden Core stage. Basically, she wasted her money. Su Cheng stood at the door for a long time. After taking onest look, he disappeared with the porcin bottle. Dong Xi had also been paying attention to Su Cheng¡¯s movements. Only when Su Cheng really left did she quietly heave a sigh of relief. The serpent was right in front of her Master, but he had not been discovered. It must be a very powerful great demon, and Dong Xi did not dare to offend it. With such a great demon by her side, how could Dong Xi cultivate in peace? Perhaps it was good that he left now. Tomorrow, Dong Xi would definitely go to the Library Pavilion and look through it to see what exactly was going on with her constitution. She would also need to find out how she could take out the snake¡¯s inner core. If she did not take it out, the big snake woulde looking for her for the inner core sooner orter. In the half a year that she had spent in Enlightenment, her cultivation had not improved at all. However, she could clearly sense that her state of mind had improved significantly, and it would be much easier for her to cultivate in the future. The moon hung high in the sky. Dong Xi immediately sat cross-legged and dispelled all distracting thoughts. Su Cheng, who had disappeared for half a day, returned to the courtyard and dripped a drop of blood on the flower. The originally bright red flower was now purple. Su Cheng waved his hand and his aura on the flower was wiped away. He looked at the cave, then turned around andpletely disappeared. At the same time, there was no longer any trace of Su Cheng¡¯s aura in Ningtian Sect. The next morning, Dong Xi slowly opened her eyes. She stretched her back, cast a cleaning spell, and ate a Fasting Pill before heading to the library. With her current cultivation, Dong Xi could only read the books on the first floor, hoping to find the answer she wanted here. There was a collection of all kinds of books in the Library Pavilion of the Ningtian Sect. When Dong Xi first came here, she found a dual cultivation technique. Her face turned red and her eyes widened as she read it, but in the end, she quickly fled the ce. On this trip to the Library Pavilion, Dong Xi avoided the cultivation techniques and headed straight for the general knowledge section. For a month, Dong Xi cultivated at night and roamed the ocean of knowledge during the day. A monthter, two eyes discovered that Dong Xi had not signed up for the sect¡¯s new disciple trial and could not be contacted. After asking around, they got some clues from Ke Xin. Liang Yan immediately went to the Library Pavilion and saw Dong Xi sitting on the ground with a book in her hand. There were many books around him. Liang Yan took a quick look. ¡®Human Body Structure¡¯, ¡®Questions on Human Anatomy¡¯, and ¡®How Strong Is an Innate Spirit Body¡¯¡­ Chapter 98 - 98 What Are You Doing Here? 98 What Are You Doing Here? Liang Yan, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Little Junior Sister,¡± Liang Yan called out softly. Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts were interrupted, and she raised her head in anger. Seeing that it was Eldest Senior Brother, Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, what are you doing here?¡± Liang Yan frowned. ¡°I couldn¡¯t get in touch with you. The sect trial is about to begin. Registration started seven days ago, and today is thest day. Aren¡¯t you going to register?¡± Dong Xi had previously heard Ke Xin say that every batch of new disciples who had reached the second level of Qi Refinement could register to participate in the sect¡¯s trial test. Trial! That was clearing a dungeon, right? All the lucky ones would start their counterattacks from here. Dong Xi did not dare to hope for a counterattack, but if she could go in and obtain two heavenly treasures, that would be great! Dong Xi put down the book and stood up. She quickly nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll register! I must register!¡± Liang Yan immediately took out a scroll. After opening it, he took out a writing brush and wrote Dong Xi¡¯s name on it. ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother, for making youe personally,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°How do you n to thank me?¡± Liang Yan nodded. Song Qingfeng had shown off to her countless times, and Dong Xi had promised to help him refine pills for 60 years. Liang Yan felt that this was unfair. Why could she take Song Qingfeng¡¯s clothes but not his? When Dong Xi heard his Eldest Senior Brother say this, she was stunned at first. After thinking for a moment, she said, ¡°How about I arrange for Eldest Senior Brother to have a meal?¡± ¡°A meal?¡± Liang Yan asked, confused. Liang Yan was now 150 years old. He had be a disciple of his Master at the age of seven, and had not eaten for 143 years. ¡°Yeah!¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°A meal! Come to my Immortal¡¯s cave abode and have a small barbeque, enjoy the night breeze, eat barbeque, and drink some wine. Isn¡¯t that great?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts had already drifted back to her high school days. On the day of graduation, she and her ssmates had had a lot of barbecue and beer. They were happy and sad at the same time. They had even promised to meet up often in the future, but that day had be their farewell. Dong Xi sighed in her heart, feeling a little sad. ¡°You can¡¯t drink,¡± Liang Yan said. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment as she looked at Liang Yan. Liang Yan ced his hands behind his back and lowered his head to look at Dong Xi. With a serious expression, he said, ¡°You¡¯re just a little girl, yet you still want to drink. If Master finds out, he¡¯ll definitely punish you to clean the mountain path.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she felt a little strange. Liang Yan saw that Xi had her head lowered and her expression was a little dejected. He thought that Dong Xi had already taken his words to heart, so he asked, ¡°What¡¯s this barbeque you¡¯re talking about?¡± Dong Xi did not expect Liang Yan to not know what barbecue was. Dong Xi was very shocked and raised her thumb and said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother is indeed an Immortal. He¡¯s above themon mortals!¡± Liang Yan frowned and said, ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯re not saying anything good?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re not going for the barbecue?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m going!¡± Liang Yan said. Liang Yan did not have much of a desire for food, but he was very interested in Dong Xi¡¯s so-called barbecue. Dong Xi ced all the books on the floor back onto the shelf. Only then did Liang Yan see the book in her hand. ¡®How to Give the Strongest Demon Beast Body to Humans¡¯ Liang Yan, ¡°??¡± There were many ways of cultivation, but one must never be evil. Liang Yan was afraid that Dong Xi was young and insensible, and would walk the path of evil, so he was prepared to give her a good beating. ¡°Dong Xi,¡± Liang Yan called out. When Dong Xi heard this, she turned around and saw her Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s serious face. His aura wasparable to that of a middle school teaching director. Dong Xi was shocked and immediately asked carefully, ¡°S-Senior Brother, did I put my book in the wrong ce?¡± Liang Yan frowned and shook his head. When he saw the little girl heave a sigh of relief, he said, ¡°You can read books, but in the future, don¡¯t read random books. There are no shortcuts in the path of Immortal cultivation. You have to cultivate step by step.¡± Dong Xi listened for a long time before he slowly understood. It turned out that Eldest Senior Brother had seen the title of the book and thought that Dong Xi was being rechless. How could she have the Strongest Demon Beast Body? Dong Xi only wanted to remove the inner core from her Dantian, and it was that simple. ¡°Have you memorized everything?¡± Liang Yan asked. Dong Xi realized that when Eldest Senior Brother lectured someone, he was actually so eloquent. How could she dare to say that she didn¡¯t? ¡°I have!¡± Seeing that Dong Xi¡¯s attitude was sincere, Liang Yan brought her out of the Library Pavilion. He took out his flying sword and asked Dong Xi toe up. Dong Xi thought of her unpleasant flight and decisively refused the Eldest Senior Brother. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, you can go first. Junior Sister will be there in a moment,¡± said Dong Xi. As she spoke, Dong Xi immediately took out her little leaf. Chapter 99 - 99 The Little Leaf That She Exchanged With a Huge Debt 99 The Little Leaf That She Exchanged With a Huge Debt No matter what, this was the little leaf that she had exchanged for with a huge debt. Wouldn¡¯t it be a waste if she did not use it? Liang Yan flew slowly in front, asionally checking on Dong Xi, who was moving at a turtle¡¯s speed behind him. Fortunately, the Alchemy Sect was not very big, or this dinner would probably have be supper. When Dong Xi returned to her cave abode, she found that Song Qingfeng was there. Song Qingfeng was very curious when he saw the two of theme back one after the other. He asked, ¡°Why are you two together?¡± ¡°Eldest Senior Brother came and find me to register for the trials,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to some barbecued meat.¡± Hearing this, Song Qingfeng immediately said, ¡°Why do you want to eat that? It¡¯s stinky and unptable.¡± ¡°How can it taste bad?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Xi thought of why Song Qingfeng was here and asked, ¡°Second Senior Brother, what brings you here?¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s face turned serious as he said, ¡°Of course I came to take a look, but I couldn¡¯t contact you. You promised me 60 years of pill refinement, but a month has passed and I haven¡¯t seen a single pill. I want to see what you¡¯re busy with every day, Junior Sister.¡± ¡°I went to the Library Pavilion to read,¡± Dong Xi coughed a few times and said. As Dong Xi spoke, she shot a look at her Eldest Senior Brother, afraid that he would spout nonsense. She really would not be able to exin himself. Luckily, Liang Yan did not say anything this time. It was Song Qingfeng who asked curiously, ¡°Reading books? Why don¡¯t you ask me if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t know?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She had long been used to relying on herself for everything, and for a moment, she did not think that she could ask her two Senior Brothers. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes brightened. She looked at Song Qingfeng and then at Liang Yan, and immediately said, ¡°What do you guys think? Is this possible? I¡¯m saying that maybe¡­ Well¡­ If humans identally swallowed the inner core of a demon beast? Could the human use the spiritual energy of the inner core?¡± As soon as she finished, Song Qingfeng knocked Dong Xi¡¯s head with his folding fan and said seriously, ¡°What are you thinking about all day? The path of Immortal cultivation can only be filled with diligence, one can not walk the path of evil!¡± Song Qingfeng used a lot of strength this time. Dong Xi held her head and felt a bump immediately. Dong Xi raised her head and looked at Song Qingfeng with grievance, ¡°I didn¡¯t walk the evil path, I¡¯m just¡­ Just¡­¡± Dong Xi could not finish her sentence after a long time. She could not just say that she had eaten the inner core of a great demon, right? She was really suffering in silence. In the end, Dong Xi muttered in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m just curious!¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do either!¡± Song Qingfeng said seriously. Song Qingfeng was usually a happy-go-lucky person. It was rare for him to be so serious, which surprised Liang Yan. ¡°I know that I cant, but¡­ Is something like this possible?¡± Dong Xi asked with a frown. Song Qingfeng¡¯s eyes shed, as if he was about to teach her a lesson. ¡°No, it¡¯s not possible,¡± Liang Yan said directly. Dong Xi turned to look at Liang Yan. Liang Yan continued, ¡°The inner core of a demon beast is extremely violent. Even if you use spiritual energy to suppress it, the violent energy will not disappear. It will only umte in the body. As your cultivation level increases, this violent nature will trigger Mental Demons at any time. Almost no one has been able to ovee this kind of Mental Demons from appearing.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was full of shock, and Song Qingfeng also scolded, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about taking shortcuts. You¡¯ve been cultivating for tens of thousands of years. Someone has already tried these evil ways. What you¡¯re cultivating now is the essence that has been improved many times by your ancestors. These little tricks will not work. You¡¯d better cultivate diligently.¡± Although Dong Xi could not clearly exin her own situation, one thing was certain. Her two Senior Brothers were being so strict for her own good. ¡°I¡¯ll remember it all!¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°Since two Senior Brothers are here, why don¡¯t we call Little Senior Sister over and have a barbecue together?¡± Hearing that, Song Qingfeng immediately smiled and said, ¡°She¡¯s a me Bird, and you¡¯re treating her to meat?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Dong Xi had never thought about this question, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll roast some spirit fruits for Little Senior Sister to eat.¡± This time, it was Qingfeng song and Yan Liang who were dumbfounded. They asked together, ¡°You can roast spirit fruits too?¡± Hearing this question, Dong Xi replied with a serious face, ¡°I can roast anything!¡± Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan were confused, but seeing Dong Xi¡¯s serious look, they were even eager to try. At this moment, Dong Xi also thought of Senior Brother Rui Xiang, and immediately said, ¡°Since we¡¯re going to roast the spirit fruit, I¡¯ll call Senior Brother Rui Xiang over to eat together> Also, my Sister Ke Xin too!¡± Liang Yan could not understand. It was originally Little Junior Sister thanking just him. How did it be a big dinner party? Chapter 100 - 100 The Trial Begins 100 The Trial Begins When Dong Xi sent the message to Chi Yan, Chi Yan hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Rui Xiang and Ke Xin had not hesitated at all, and had excitedly agreed. It was just that Ke Xin could not enter the inner sect, so he could only ask Senior Brother Rui Xiang to help bring her in. The two Senior Brothers, who had abstained from food for a hundred years, followed along to enjoy the meal. Dong Xi started a fire. The wood was found under the spirit fruit tree, and the meat was also caught from the mountain. She washed the meat with the water in the pond, threaded it on a tree branch, and smeared some ingredients on it. When she pickled the meat, Dong Xi also skewered many spirit fruits. When everything was ready, Dong Xi used the inferior fireball technique to start a fire. In front of everyone, she ced the meat on the fire to roast, then sprinkled some unknown things. Miraculously, a fragrant smell floated up. Dong Xi handed the roasted spirit fruit to Rui Xiang and Chi Yan, and found that they were both looking at the meat skewers. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°You want to the meat skewers?¡± The two of them immediately shook their heads and said together, ¡°No, I¡¯m just curious.¡± Liang Yan was the first to be invited to dinner, but he was thest to get the barbecue. The fragrance was so strong that one could not help but want to take a bite. Song Qingfeng had already put the roasted meat in his mouth. He had tried it before, but the taste was far from the same. Could it be because Little Junior Sister had scattered some random things on the barbecue? When they were almost done eating, Liang Yan suddenly remembered to remind the little girl. He said, ¡°Tomorrow is the trial. You must be at the sect square at seven o ¡®clock. Don¡¯t bete.¡± Liang Yan looked at Dong Xi as he spoke. Dong Xi immediately nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never beente.¡± Even though she seemed a little unreliable, she was still a very punctual person. Liang Yan looked at his two other Junior Sisters, and the two of them immediately nodded. After Dong Xi sent everyone away, she used a cleaning spell to make the courtyard clean. She looked at the flowers she had transnted. She could not tell what was wrong, but it looked much better than before, and the color was more vibrant. What kind of flower was it? That day, when she read the Encyclopedia of Immortal Cultivation nts, she did not find anything. Dong Xi did not hesitate any longer and turned to enter the cave. After cultivating for a night, she would enter the Secret Realm tomorrow. Dong Xi now had therge snake¡¯s small spirit gathering array formation, so she was not afraid of the day at all. Her spiritual Qi recovered much faster. However, she had never expected that after refining thest bit of meridians in the second half of the night, she would actually break through directly. She broke through to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage just like that. Dong Xi immediately guided the spiritual Qi to circte in her body. She only opened her eyes after her cultivation level had stabilized. Looking at the time, Dong Xi eximed, ¡°I¡¯m finished! I¡¯m going to bete!¡± Yesterday, she had told Eldest Senior Brother that she had never beente. This was too quick a p in the face. Dong Xi took out a small leaf and quickly jumped on it, immediately flying towards the sect square. By the time Dong Xi arrived, everyone had already arrived. Liang Yan nced at Dong Xi and noticed that her cultivation level had changed. He was surprised for a moment, but he did not say anything. He only exined how to use the protective talisman, as well as how they would be separated when they were teleported in, making it useless to stick together. They only had ten days in the Secret Realm, so they had to cherish it because the harvest of these ten days might be the biggest harvest they would get in the next few years. Liang Yan had always been imposing, and now that he had be serious, his aura became even more imposing. His words made everyone excited, but they were also very restrained. Liang Yan took out an airboat and asked everyone to board it. The new disciples were instantly excited. Ke Xin and Chi Yan stood beside Dong Xi. Ke Xin grabbed Dong Xi¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Why are you only here now? If it wasn¡¯t for Senior Brother hosting today and intentionally waiting for you for 15 minutes, you would have missed the trial.¡± ¡°She has broken through,¡± Chi Yan said lightly. Chi Yan¡¯s words surprised Dong Xi. She did not know that the snake had set up a magic art to hide from her Senior Brother and Master, so it blocked those below the Golden Core stage. But she was also wearing the ne she had bought the other day, which could block detection. She had spent so much money, and this was it? ¡°You can see my cultivation?¡± asked Dong Xi curiously. Chi Yan did not wait for her to say anything. She knew that she should have an item that blocked divine sense, so she exined lightly, ¡°It¡¯s the me Bird¡¯s talent.¡± Dong Xi was relieved, but she could not help but feel envious. Why were they filled with talents and skills? It was really too good! While they were talking, many disciples had already boarded the swift airboat. Dong Xi and the other two also hurriedly boarded. The Secret Realm was not far from the sect. It was a small world sealed by the Sect Master. It took about a morning to reach the Secret Realm. The flying boat stopped in the middle of a mountain range. Liang Yan took out a scroll and cast a spell. The air seemed to have been broken by something, and circles of ripples appeared. Chapter 101 - 101 The First to Jump In 101 The First to Jump In Slowly, a holerge enough for several people to enter and exit at the same time appeared in front of them. Liang Yan kept the scroll and turned to the group of new disciples. ¡°Alright, once you enter, you can begin the trial. Hurry up and go in.¡± Everyone looked at each other. No one was willing to be the first to jump in. Dong Xi, however, did not hesitate at all and quickly entered the cave. She thought to herself, ¡®Why aren¡¯t these guys picking up treasures for free? There must be something wrong with their brains!¡¯ Chi Yan and Ke Xin were both beside Dong Xi. When they saw Dong Xi rushing in, they were both stunned. When they came back to their senses, they quickly followed behind Dong Xi and rushed into the newly opened Dimensional Rift. When the crowd saw the three of them enter, they began to feel anxious and shouted one after another. ¡°Don¡¯t push!¡± ¡°Argh! Who touched my butt!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t push! I don¡¯t see anyone in front!¡± ¡­ Liang Yan looked at the chaotic crowd and finally could not help but wave his sleeves and stuff all of them in. After a moment of silence, Liang Yan once again cast a spell, and the Dimensional Rift closed bit by bit. In the end, it disappeared as if it had never existed. Liang Yan sat down cross-legged. These new disciples would only be able toe out after ten days, so he could have ten days of peace and quiet. Dong Xi entered the door and felt a strong suction force. Then, she felt the world spin, just like she had yed with a swivel chair in an amusement park in her previous life. Not long after, she felt a sense of weightlessness. ¡°Ah!¡± Dong Xi covered her butt and stood up from the weeds. She looked around and started to feel a little dazed. Dong Xi, who hadnded, stood in the middle of the swamp. She was surrounded by swamps, and only this ce was clean. Dong Xi immediately took out her little leaf and tried to fly out, but the little leaf had just flown up when it fell to the ground, swaying. Dong Xi was really stunned this time. He muttered to himself, ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Could it be that there¡¯s a flying-restricting array formation?¡± However, wasn¡¯t this trial rumored to be a ce for picking up treasures? Why was she trapped here the moment she entered? Based on this, Dong Xi could also be considered a ¡®Child of Destiny¡¯. ¡­ Dong Xi pondered for a moment. She remembered that in a survival video she had watched in her previous life, it had exined that to safely cross the swamp, one had to tie a wooden board to the soles of their shoes to increase the area they could withstand the force. However, there was no wooden board beside Dong Xi. there were only two scales given by the big snake. Dong Xi took out the scale, but it seemed to be a little too small. She frowned and was in a dilemma. Since the snake could change its size, this scale should be able to do the same, right? Thinking of this, Dong Xi wanted to try inserting spiritual Qi to see if she could make it bigger. After Dong Xi injected spiritual Qi into it, he realized that there was no reaction at all. It was fine, Dong Xi still had the snake¡¯s inner core! Dong Xi carefully used the spiritual Qi in her body to wrap the green spirit Qi, guiding a trace of it to inject into the scale. Bang bang bang! The scale in Dong Xi¡¯s hand was like an inted balloon, instantly bing much bigger. Dong Xi was instantly happy and continued to inject spiritual Qi. Dong Xi only stopped when the scale had be as big as a basin. The snake¡¯s scale was a treasure, like a spirit tool! If Su Cheng knew what Dong Xi was thinking, he would probablyugh in disdain. This little girl had not seen the world at all. Dong Xi attached spiritual Qi to her feet and stepped on the scales. She tried to walk to the swamp at the side. After confirming that she really did not sink, she continued to try to walk into the distance. Dong Xi had just taken a few steps forward when a string of bubbles suddenly appeared in the swamp not far away, as if they were escaping. Dong Xi¡¯s mind waspletely focused on her feet, so she did not notice this at all. When Dong Xi realized that she really did not sink, she immediately became happy. The snake¡¯s scales were quite useful! Surveying her surroundings, Dong Xi chose the direction of the forest. However, just as she entered, she seemed to have discovered something and stopped. She turned her head and looked at the patch of weeds where she had been standing. This was clearly a swamp, so how could there be a patch of weeds there? Especially when Dong Xi had only taken a few steps, how did the weeds be so far away? Dong Xi immediately pretended to leave. Then, she quickly turned her head and saw a tail sticking out of the weeds before sneakily hiding away. Only then did Dong Xi react. What weeds? That was simply a feint used by a certain demon beast to prey on other prey. Lowering her head and looking at the endless swamp, Dong Xi suddenly felt a little ufortable. It was hard to say when or where something woulde out. Dong Xi raised her spirits and walked out of the swamp step by step. Fortunately, no one dared to enter the swamp all year round. Dong Xi had also picked up some very old spirit pearls along the way, which could be considered a blessing in disguise. Along the way, Dong Xi also received messages from Ke Xin and Chi Yan. Dong Xi could only honestly say that she was trapped in the swamp. She estimated that she would need more than 20 hours to get out. Chapter 102 - 102 The Omnipotent Sister 102 The Omnipotent Sister Dong Xi had just replied to the message when the next second, her omnipotent Sister sent over a map. After Dong Xi saw it, she sent a voice message in shock, ¡°Sister, where did you get this?¡± Ke Xin said a little haughtily, ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve always prepared in advance. I bought this from a Senior Sister who came here before. The price is one-tenth of what it costs to get it here.¡± Dong Xi could not help but sigh. Her sister was ruthless. She knew the principle of giving up the child to trap the wolf. It had to be said that with this map, she could rx a lot. Dong Xi roughly looked at the map. ording to her current direction, she should be able to reach the Secret Language Forest on the map if they walked further. Dong Xi put away the jade slip and hurried to the forest. On the way, Dong Xi could clearly feel the demon beasts below moving quickly, but what was amazing was that no demon beastsunched an attack even after she walked out. All the demon beasts seemed to be frantically avoiding her... Were the demon beasts in the Secret Realm so afraid of people? Were they too shy? After walking out of the swamp, Dong Xi immediately put away the scale. She turned around and entered the secretnguage forest. She had no idea that the demon beasts in the swamp had be active again after she left. The demon beasts rejoiced. The terrifying fellow had finally left! The Secret Language Forest was at the edge of the Secret Realm, and in the center of the map was a pce. After years of investigation and plundering by the disciples of the Ningtian Sect, the things in the pce had long been gone. Dong Xi and Chi Yan agreed that everyone¡¯s positions were too far apart, and it would be a waste of time to search for each other. It would be better to use the time to quickly find treasures and then gather at the central pce together. The forest was very quiet. The deeper she went, the stronger the smell of decay became. Dong Xi used spiritual Qi to seal her mouth and nose, and asked doubtfully, ¡°This is miasma?¡± The forest was dense, and there was no sunlight in the depths of the forest. It was cold and easy to breed poisonous gas, and the demon beasts here had also be poisonous. Dong Xi immediately held the Purple Jade Sword in her hand and injected spiritual Qi into it, nervously on guard. At this moment, a little thing cried out and suddenly came down from the sky. The sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand moved without her even thinking, and she immediately shed out. However, this little thing¡¯s reaction was even faster. Its body actually changed direction in the air, and it pounced on a big tree at the side. In just one exchange, Dong Xi had already discovered that this little thing was no match for her at all. As the saying goes, pick the soft persimmons to pinch! Pick the weak demon beasts to fight! Chase after it! Dong Xi gathered spiritual Qi on her legs, her eyes fixed on the little thing, and her feet chasing after it without stopping. This little thing did not look big, but it ran very fast. Dong Xi was wearing speed shoes and had spiritual Qi, so her speed was not weak either. After chasing for a while, the little guy that Dong Xi had been staring at suddenly disappeared. Dong Xi stopped and frowned as he looked around. How could the little fellow disappear into thin air? It must have a nest here. Dong Xi inspected it bit by bit, and finally found something wrong with a towering tree. ¡°This little thing actually knows how to use illusion spells?¡± Dong Xi asked in surprise after checking the item. However, the illusion spell was too clumsy. Who had ever seen grass on a tree? Dong Xi felt a little amused. Anything else was more reliable than grass. Dong Xi immediately walked over. The closer he got, the quieter the entrance was. Dong Xi casually cast a spell and threw out the mud. The little fellow who was hiding inside was frightened and quickly ran out. Dong Xi was also shocked. Seeing the little fellow run into the treetops, Dong Xi did not give chase, but looked into the cave. As expected, there were many things in this little fellow¡¯s cave. Dong Xi took out many spirit fruits, spirit nts, and two Cold Fire Silver Roots from the tree hole. This was a medicinal pill that could be used to refine body tempering pills. It was a pill that was so great that body cultivators could not ask for more. Because Dong Xi was about to be a body cultivator, she naturally could not let go of such a good thing. Dong Xi was not polite at all. She took away all the things in the little fellow¡¯s cave, but she felt that it was not good, so she put in a few spirit fruits she had brought from the sect. After all this, Dong Xi was just about to leave when she saw a little squirrel sitting on a branch with a spirit fruit in its hand. Its watery eyes looked as if it could cry at any moment. Dong Xi felt a little ufortable, but she still hardened her heart. What was the use of being cute? This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak! Dong Xi¡¯s face was cold as she said with a serious expression, ¡°You were the one who made the first move just now!¡± The squirrel stood on the tree branch and immediately cried out twice. The man and the demon beast did not understand each other¡¯s meaning. ¡°If you keep doing this, I¡¯ll catch you and make you into jerky!¡± Dong Xi immediately said. However, the only response was still a squeaking sound. Chapter 103 - 103 Spirit Pet 103 Spirit Pet Dong Xi did not want to waste any more time. She turned around to leave, but after taking a few steps, the little squirrel jumped down from the tree and climbed up Dong Xi¡¯s pants. Dong Xi instinctively reached out to hug it. The squirrel was small, about the size of two palms. Its small body dragged arge tail. It raised its head and stared at Dong Xi with its dark eyes. It was very cute. Dong Xi immediately said very seriously, ¡°I can¡¯t return those things to you! Who told you to make the first move? I have to teach you a lesson so that you can be a good squirrel in the future!¡± The little squirrel let out two shrill cries. In any case, Dong Xi could not understand what it was saying, so she did not care and continued to walk forward. As she walked, she threatened, ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, I¡¯ll turn you into roasted meat for dinner.¡± When the squirrel heard that, it turned anxious and bit Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s palm was in pain, and she hurriedly lowered her head to look. An ancient pattern appeared in the eyes of the little squirrel. Dong Xi instantly understood that it was forming a contract with her and bing her spirit pet. The ancient runessted for a while before disappearing from the squirrel¡¯s eyes. Dong Xi noticed that the little squirrel seemed to be a little vexed. Then, new lines appeared in the squirrel¡¯s eyes. This time, the linesnded on Dong Xi¡¯s chest and then disappeared. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly touched her chest and circted her spiritual Qi in his body twice, but she did not find anything unusual. Just as Dong Xi was about to put the little squirrel back, a childish voice suddenly appeared in her mind, ¡°You scoundrel!¡± Dong Xi was a little surprised. Then, she looked at the squirrel in his hand and asked, ¡°You¡¯re talking to me?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Squirrel replied, ¡°You scoundrel!¡± The squirrel¡¯s eyes were filled with grievance. This made Dong Xi feel guilty for bullying a child. On second thought, Dong Xi was only 11 years old. She was a child too, okay? ¡°You attacked me first!¡± Dong Xi argued shamelessly. ¡°You just bit me again, so you¡¯re the bad guy!¡± The squirrel said, ¡°Songsong didn¡¯t want to bite you. Songsong wanted to form a contract with you! Otherwise, I won¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying!¡± Songsong wagged its tail, as if it was very proud of this method. Dong Xi was silent. She had thought that this little squirrel was just a little stupid, but it was actually too stupid. It did not even know that it had sold itself. However, what Songsong said next surprised Dong Xi. ¡°Songsong formed a contract with you, but you¡¯ve already formed a contract with someone else! I can only sign a master-servant contract, I¡¯m so angry!¡± Dong Xi understood what it meant. But when did Dong Xi form a contract with someone else? Who was it? Ever since the original body entered the sect, she had taken over the body. Chi Yan was from the monster race, she had innate intelligence and could transform. She had long since broken away from the ranks of monster beasts. Senior Brother Rui Xiang was also raised by the elder, and had long formed a contract with the elder. Other than Chi Yan and Rui Xiang, Dong Xi had onlye into contact with the ming Frost-skin Rat, but she had already killed the rat, so there was only the great snake. At the thought of this, Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were filled with shock, and there was only one sentence in her mind. ¡°It can¡¯t be?!¡± But on second thought, if it was not for the contract, the snake would not have ced his inner core in Dong Xi¡¯s body and let Dong Xi run around with it, right? Dong Xi had just entered the Immortal world, so she did not know much about forming contracts with demon beasts. Dong Xi smiled and took out a spirit fruit from his storage ring and gave it to Songsong. She probed, ¡°This contract, what sort of contract is it?¡± ¡°A Contract of Equals!¡± said Songsong. ¡°Can there only be one contract?¡± Dong Xi continued to ask. Songsong exined, ¡°No, but your consciousness is weak and the one you formed the contract with is too powerful.¡± After listening to Songsong¡¯s exnation for a long time, Dong Xi finally understood. Simply put, Dong Xi was too weak. Dong Xi sighed. ¡°You can¡¯t me me for this. You¡¯ve alle here to form a contract with me. I can¡¯t even resist.¡± Dong Xi suddenly felt as if she had be meat on someone else¡¯s chopping board. her heart felt heavy, and Songsong in her hand also felt much heavier. Songsong seemed to still be angry as it said unhappily, ¡°Of course I can. This master-servant contract between you and me can be terminated at any time. But if it¡¯s terminated, I won¡¯t be able to understand you, and you won¡¯t be able to understand me either.¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment and then asked, ¡°Is the Contract of Equals the same?¡± Songsong exined, ¡°Sure, you can, but you need to get the permission of your divine sense. However, the other party¡¯s cultivation realm is too strong. Your divine sense can¡¯t even resist. The contract was automatically formed.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was instantly dissatisfied. This was not an equal contract at all. It was clearly an Overlord¡¯s contract. Otherwise, why couldn¡¯t Dong Xi contact him? Chapter 104 - 104 Stupid Head 104 Stupid Head ¡°Can the Contract of Equals be terminated at any time and ce?¡± Dong Xi continued to ask. ¡°Sure!¡± Songsong nodded. Dong Xi¡¯s face immediately lit up with joy, but before she could be happy for long, she heard Songsong continue, ¡°Anyone with a high cultivation base can do it anytime!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°...¡± F*ck¡­ In the end, Dong Xi was the stupid head who had signed a contract to sell herself without being aware of it! Originally, Dong Xi had thought that the big snake was only treating her as a tool to protect her inner core, but she did not know that Songsong had something else to say. That was to consume half of her cultivation if she were to initiate the contract. ¡°If I¡¯m injured, will it affect the demonic beast that formed the contract?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Of course,¡± replied Songsong. ¡°If I¡¯m injured, you¡¯ll be affected as well. We have a soul contract! If you¡¯re was injured, my soul would also be damaged! In the future, you have to protect me well!¡± Songsong seemed to be very happy, its ck eyes sparkling. Dong Xi seemed to have understood something. She looked at Songsong and said, ¡°It turns out that you, this little fellow, pestered me and didn¡¯t leave because you actually had such thoughts!¡± After Dong Xi understood, she threw this unhappy matter to the back of her mind and continued to walk forward with Songsong. She casually asked, ¡°Songsong, you grew up here, so you should know what kind of treasures are here, right?¡± Songsong sat on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder, wagging its tail and said, ¡°Of course, but these treasures are all guarded by extremely powerful demon beasts. You¡¯ll just be courting death if you go.¡± ¡°I might not be strong enough, but you¡¯re here with me!¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°We should be able to do it together, right?¡± With that said, Dong Xi suddenly remembered that she did not know anything about Songsong¡¯s situation. ¡°Songsong, how¡¯s your cultivation base now?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°What¡¯s your talent? Can you learn cultivation techniques?¡± Songsong did not expect Dong Xi to have such high hopes for it. She even wanted it to snatch the treasure from the mouths of those demon beasts? What was the difference between that and killing it now? The spirit fruit in its hand instantly lost its fragrance. It lowered its head and said, ¡°But... Songsong is only at tier 1!¡± Songsong¡¯s cultivation base was within Dong Xi¡¯s expectations, so she was not too disappointed. From Dong Xi¡¯s point of view, a pet was just a pet. It was best if it could help, but it did not matter if it could not help. On the path of Immortal cultivation, the strong would always strive for self-improvement. Whether it was a pet or a magic tool, it was just an additional flower on top of a brocade. One¡¯s own strength was the foundation to stand firm in this world. As Dong Xi walked, she took out a jade slip and looked at the map on it. Songsong also stuck its head out. Their heads were pressed together, and Songsong asked, ¡°Xiaoxi, do you really want to go? That wolf is very fierce!¡± Dong Xi did not even raise her head as she softly said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you ran very fast? Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t run as fast as a wolf?¡± When Songsong heard this, it was on the verge of tears. She said anxiously, ¡°That¡¯s a Wind Demon Wolf, a wind-type beast. It¡¯s faster than me.¡± ¡°But you also know illusionary techniques!¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°If you can¡¯t run, can¡¯t you just hide?¡± After Dong Xi said this, she suddenly thought of something and warned, ¡°But you have to remember that the grass only grows on the ground!¡± Songsong was a little scared and wanted to get Dong Xi to give up on the idea of suicide. ¡°But what if I can¡¯t hide? You¡¯ll lose Songsong...!¡± Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and rubbed Songsong¡¯s tail, saying, ¡°You¡¯re as timid as a mouse. You little fellow, why are you so timid? How did you dare to attack me back then?¡± Songsong was also very regretful now. At that time, Songsong only wanted to chase her out of the Secret Realm. It never thought that this human girl would not leave but insist on throwing her life away! The Wind Demon Wolf was a tier 2 demon beast of the wind element. Its talent was the wind de, and it was extremely fast. It could not beat it, nor could it run away. It was too dangerous. Dong Xi nced at Songsong indifferently, only to see that Songsong¡¯s eyes were filled with regret. Dong Xi almostughed out loud when she saw Songsong¡¯s expression. She said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ve told you, I¡¯ll distract the wind demon wolf while you sneak in and steal the mushrooms. I¡¯ll be the one in danger, okay? As long as you¡¯re fast enough, we¡¯ll be able to escape.¡± When Dong Xi came out of the marsnd, the flying-prohibition array formation was already gone, and she could now fly. When Songsong stole the Fairy Mushroom, Dong Xi would immediately take Songsong and run away on the little turtle! Fairy Mushrooms were good stuff. They were an important ingredient in making Resurrection Pills. Resurrection Pills had the effect of repairing the soul. Any Resurrection Pill could be sold for a sky-high price. Dong Xi thought of the huge snake that was covered in wounds and did not have an inner core. She did not know when this huge snake¡¯s soul would start to get damaged. It was better to quickly prepare the medicinal pills for him. Chapter 105 - 105 The Meaning of Experience 105 The Meaning of Experience Wealth came from danger. Since she hade across such a precious medicinal herb, and she did not dare to take the risks to obtain it... Then what was the point of all her training, all her experience? Songsong was terrified the whole way, but it did not run away when they were in the Wind Demon Wolf¡¯s territory. Lying on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder, it covered its eyes with its two small hands and wrapped its whole body with its tail, but its body was still trembling. Dong Xi stopped and helplessly looked at the terrified Songsong and said, ¡°If you¡¯re afraid, then don¡¯t go over.¡± Dong Xi was still able to deal with a tier 2 demon beast. When Songsong heard this, it immediately stood up and jumped on Dong Xi¡¯s head, saying, ¡°That won¡¯t do. We¡¯ve already formed a contract!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, kid,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°I have a teleportation talisman. If we really can¡¯t do it in the end, we can just teleport out.¡± Songsong was stunned for a moment, then it sat back on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder and said, still a little angry, ¡°Since you have a teleportation talisman, you should have said so earlier! Songsong was so scared!¡± Dong Xi felt that the little fellow¡¯s courage still needed to be trained. If she really brought such a timid fellow back, it would just be hiding in her cave abode, right? ¡°I¡¯m ready, Songsong,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°I¡¯ll go and lure the Wind Demon Wolf away first. When we¡¯re far away, you can go in and get the stuff.¡± After Dong Xi said that, she walked directly into the Wind Demon Wolf¡¯s territory. From the moment Dong Xi entered the territory, she was already 200 percent prepared. However, she did not feel any movement even when she walked to the Wind Demon Wolf¡¯s nest. Dong Xi could not help but be a little puzzled. Could it be that this wolf had gone out to look for the little female wolf? She could not be that lucky, right?! Although this was her guess, Dong Xi did not dare to rx. She threw a stone into the cave, and the sound of the stone hitting the ground echoed. Then, she calmed down. It was as if nothing really existed in the nest. Dong Xi¡¯s vignce was at its peak. In the next second, a strong sense of danger rose in Dong Xi¡¯s heart. The Eight-nine Cultivation Technique was frantically activated, and the Purple Jade Sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand immediately blocked behind her. ng! ng! ng! An ear-piercing sound rang out. Dong Xi had sessfully blocked the wind de. Following that, a gray figure pounced over from above. Dong Xi immediately retreated, but this beast was really fast. At this critical moment, Dong Xi activated the wood spiritual energy in her body, causing the vines beside her to wrap around the Wind Demon Wolf¡¯s hind legs. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and saw the Wind Demon Wolf produce a wind de in its mouth, which swept toward the vines. Dong Xi knew that things were not looking good. She immediately converted her spiritual Qi into earth spiritual Qi and then pped the ground with her hand. The ground under the Wind Demon Wolf¡¯s feet suddenly caved in. The Wind Demon Wolf was caught off guard and could only let out a wolf cry. When it looked at the young human, it realized that the little thing had already run far away. This was a little easier than when she had dealt with the ming Frost-skin Rat. This was all thanks to the improvement in Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation realm. Dong Xi wore a pair of Storm Shoes and ran into the forest. At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s heart was very clear. Although she had a small spirit gathering array on her, the recovery of spiritual Qi could not keep up with the consumption. The Wind Demon Wolf¡¯s endurance was particrly good. By then, even if they both had run out of spiritual Qi, the wolf could easily tear Dong Xi to pieces. If she wanted to live, Dong Xi had to end the battle quickly! Dong Xi held the Purple Jade Sword in her hand and thought of the technique she hadprehended earlier. Borrowing power! At this moment, Dong Xi was standing in the forest. The wood spiritual Qi was very dense. If she made use of the forest¡¯s power, she would see if the Wind Demon Wolf could still escape! The pit she had just created was not enough to trap the Wind Demon Wolf. Dong Xi knew her own strength. When she closed his eyes, it was as if her entire being had be one with the forest. Suddenly, Dong Xi¡¯s ears twitched as he heard the sound of wind. Dong Xi knew that the Wind Demon Wolf hade! Dong Xi raised the Purple Jade Sword in her hand and thrust forward in an ordinary manner. Awoooo! Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked at the Wind Demon Wolf, who was baring its teeth. She said, ¡°What, you¡¯re not convinced? Then let the wolvese!¡± Dong Xi raised her sword with both hands, stomped on the ground with force, and jumped high up to pounce at the wolf. Dong Xi held her sword and urately blocked the wind de, splitting it into two halves. Then, she blocked the Demon Wind Wolf¡¯s next attack. ¡°Little guy, you have to keep working hard!¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Back when she just transmigrated here, Dong Xi would have been scared to death by a wild beast like the Wind Demon Wolf, let alone fight it. However, after the time with the big snake, the Wind Demon Wolf did not look that scary at all. The sword technique in Dong Xi¡¯s hand became smoother and smoother. Even at the moment when the Demon Wind Wolf jumped, Dong Xi could sense it and defend herself with her sword. Chapter 106 - 106 This Is Also a Kind of Cultivation 106 This Is Also a Kind of Cultivation it was no wonder that the cultivators of the Sword Sect were either fighting or on the way to fight. For sword cultivators, this was also a kind of cultivation. Dong Xi regarded this battle with the Wind Demon Wolf as sword practice. When she felt that it was about time, she once again used her wood spiritual energy and wrapped the wolf with vines. At the same time, she changed her earth spiritual energy and used mud to cover the wolf¡¯s mouth. Haha, this time, I got it! Now, all I have to do is¡­ Run! Dong Xi was now strong enough to kill the Wind Demon Wolf on her own, but the wolf had been training with her for so long. Not only had it made a contribution, but it had also put in a lot of effort. Moreover, Dong Xi had asked Songsong to steal the treasure that the Wind Demon Wolf had protected for so long¡­ If she were to kill it after all this, the Wind Demon Wolf would be too miserable! Dong Xi quickly ran to the location Songsong had told her about. Halfway there, she heard the Wind Demon Wolf¡¯s angry roar. The Wind Demon Wolf must have realized that it had lost something it was protecting. Dong Xi immediately took out the little turtle, grabbed Songsong, who was waving wildly not far away, and ate a Spirit Restore Pill. She then used all her strength to drive the little turtle into the distance. ¡°Did you get it?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. Songsong took out the Fairy Mushroom that she had been hiding in its pocket and said, ¡°Of course I got it! Songsong is really amazing!¡± Seeing that the Wind Demon Wolf was not chasing after them, Songsong became very active. However, before Songsong could celebrate, it realized that Dong Xi had already barged into the area where the Silver Demon Trees were. All the fur on Songsong¡¯s body stood on end as it let out a series of cries! ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Songsong shouted. ¡°Hurry up and get out! Hurry up!¡± Dong Xi stopped and asked in confusion, ¡°What happened here?¡± ¡°This ce is a forbidden area!¡± Songsong immediately replied. ¡°It¡¯s highly toxic. Even breathing in it will cause spiritual energy to be attached to the poisonous gas. When the spiritual energy ispletely corroded by the gas, it would start to corrode the flesh and blood! Hurry up and leave! Songsong still wants to live!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s expression changed when he heard Songsong¡¯s words. She immediately flew out. Moreover, from the moment she entered, Dong Xi seemed to have entered some kind of formation. No matter how she flew, he would eventually return to her original ce. ¡°Xiaoxi, look at that white bone. We¡¯re back to square one,¡± said Songsong. Dong Xi frowned and found that it was indeed the case. Dong Xi said, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re back here again. How are you feeling?¡± Songsong shook its head. It was no longer as lively as before and looked a little dispirited. Dong Xi frowned. She did not know why, but she seemed fine. Her spiritual energy was also fine. There was nothing wrong with it. Seeing that Songsong was a little dispirited, Dong Xi hurriedly circted her spirit Qi and helped to sort out Songsong¡¯s meridians. Songsong regained some of her energy, and Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ll put you in the Jade Space first. You can rest. If this continues, you won¡¯t be able to hold on for long.¡± Songsong asked with a worried look in its eyes, ¡°But what are you going to do?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± said Dong Xi indifferently. ¡°I¡¯ll be fine. I¡¯ll definitely get you out.¡± The space in Dong Xi¡¯s jade pendant could store living things, so there was no terrifying poisonous gas inside. She could only release Songsong after they left the Secret Realm. Dong Xi was left alone. She decided not to fly and directlynded on the ground. She nned to study this ce and what was going on. There was ayer of fallen leaves under Dong Xi¡¯s feet. As she walked, she seemed to have stepped on something. Dong Xi immediately stopped and smacked down with her palm. The wind from her palm blew away the fallen leaves, revealing ayer of terrifying white bones. Dong Xi frowned and took out a jade slip. She wanted to ask Ke Xin if there were any forbidden areas in the Secret Realm, but the jade slip was nk. Not only could she not contact anyone, but the news za that was usually there was also gone. It seemed that this was a ce that could block out spiritual breath. This also meant that it was impossible for Dong Xi to send out a message for help. Dong Xi sighed helplessly and kept the jade slip. She closed her eyes and circted her Eight-nine Cultivation Technique to the extreme. In the end, she chose a direction based on her perception. This time, Dong Xi did not go around in circles and even picked up many inner cores along the way. At the same time, she also saw many human bones. She felt sad for the death of her kind. Just like that, Dong Xi followed her instincts and walked on. After an unknown amount of time, Dong Xi finally saw the sky. At the same time, she realized that she did not walk out of the Silver Demon Forest. Instead, there was arge clearing and arge pit in the middle of the Silver Demon Forest. It looked like a huge battle had taken ce here. There was also pink mist in the pit, and together with the Silver Demon Tree, it was beautiful. However, it was also extremely dangerous. This pink mist seemed to be the same as the mist at the edge of the Silver Demon Forest, but it was thicker. This was probably the reason why the demon beasts and cultivators had died here! Chapter 107 - 107 So Beautiful 107 So Beautiful Dong Xi did not know why, but this pink mist did not seem to be harmful to her. Her spiritual aura was still normal. Dong Xi also tried to throw a fireball into the pink mist. The next moment, the pink mist was like a superrge firecracker, crackling and shing with sparks. Dong Xi¡¯s mouth was wide open as she saw this. She could not help but say, ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± After the burst of me, the pink mist in the air seemed to have reduced a lot. Dong Xi stood at the edge of the giant pit and looked down. Because the pink mist was much thinner now, Dong Xi could directly see the bottom of the giant pit. There was a pool of water at the bottom of the pit, forming a Lake. The water was also slightly pink, without any waves, beautiful but strange. Dong Xi¡¯s intuition told her that the source of the pink mist was down there and that she should go down and take a look. ording to the ironw in the novels of transmigration in the past, there must be a big treasure in such an outrageous ce. It was just that the main character in this book was not Dong Xi, and Dong Xi did not have the protagonist¡¯s halo, but she still had to give it a try. What if she picked up a rare treasure? Dong Xi ate a Spirit Restore Pill. After her spiritual energy recovered, she used wood spiritual energy to hasten the growth of the nearby vines into the deep pit. The vine had already reached the bottom of the deep pit. Dong Xi tugged at it with her hands to make sure that the vine was very solid. Then, she wrapped her feet with spiritual Qi and walked down bit by bit. The lower she went, the thicker the pink mist became. Dong Xi threw out two more fireballs, and her vision became a little clearer. After descending for a distance, Dong Xi measured the height and felt that he could jump down. She immediately let go of the vine. Just as Dong Xinded, Su Cheng, who had just entered the spirit mine, suddenly felt his heart tighten. ¡°This little girl is overestimating herself!¡± Su Cheng said. With that, Su Cheng disappeared from his spot. The big demon sealed by Song Qingfeng and the others immediately panicked and said, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re ying with this demon?¡± Su Cheng snorted and said in a low voice, ¡°So what if I¡¯m ying you? You¡¯re just a sealed piece of trash!¡± The demon beast was named Huan Ye, and he was furious. He said, ¡°You¡¯re just a stinky snake, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me! Ah¡­¡± Before Huan Ye could finish his sentence, another barrier appeared around him. The barrier even carried poisonous gas and was even stronger than the barrier of the Ningtian Sect. The green poisonous gas attached itself to Huan Ye¡¯s wound, slowly corroding the bit of spiritual energy that Huan Ye had just recovered. Recently, Huan Ye had been constantly sending out the demon beast n¡¯s distress signal. However, he did not expect that after so long, only a single snake came. Huan Ye also did not expect that this snake was actually ackey of the Ningtian Sect! ¡°Stinky snake,¡± Huan Ye cursed, ¡°You betrayed the demon race and will die a horrible death! Ah!¡± Su Cheng casually tore open the space and walked in. He could not hear Huan Ye¡¯s voice at all. Since he was asking for help, he had to act like he was asking for help. No matter how glorious he used to be, he was now a sealed piece of trash. Although Su Cheng failed to Ascend, he had already passed the Lightning Tribtion. Huan Ye was just a piece of trash, and this trash dared to shout in front of him? Damn it! Su Cheng reappeared in the Secret Realm where Dong Xi was, and also appeared in the swamp. The originally quiet swamp instantly boiled up like a pot of boiling water, and the muddy water surged wildly. In the beginning, even his little aura emanating from Dong Xi¡¯s body almost scared the demon beasts to death. Now that the main body had personally appeared, who would dare to stay here? Even some water-type demon beasts wished they could grow a pair of legs and run away. However, Su Cheng did not have the mood to care about all these small fries. That little girl took his inner core to court death. If he dyed any longer, she would really die! Su Cheng¡¯s snake tail moved quickly. Dong Xi had been walking for almost 24 hours, but Su Cheng could catch up in a moment. The snake¡¯s tail left a long trail on the ground. when the wind blew, the fallen leaves covered the trail. ¡­ Dong Xi suddenly had a bad feeling. Beneath her feet were white bones. These white bones were different from the ones above. The white bones here were emitting a faint pink light. All of a sudden, a thought appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. ¡°This ce... There can¡¯t be a formation here, right?¡± Dong Xi mumbled in a low voice. Just as this thought shed through her mind, the Pink Lake was like a soul-stirring demon, making Dong Xi want to walk over. The closer she got to theke, the more bones there were on the ground. Dong Xi walked to thekeside without feeling anything. Just as she was about to enter theke, a gust of wind came from behind her. A huge snake tail wrapped around Dong Xi, and the next moment, it threw Dong Xi onto the fallen leaves at the side. Dong Xi happened to fall on the white bones. She was in so much pain that she immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, and she also woke up. She looked at the figure in front of her. With the pink mist acting as the background, even Su Cheng¡¯s cold face looked a little cuter. Chapter 108 - 108 Am I Hallucinating? 108 Am I Hallucinating? Dong Xi rubbed her eyes in disbelief and said, ¡°Big snake? What are you doing here? Am I hallucinating?¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi and coldly said, ¡°If you want to die, then go by yourself. Don¡¯t bring my inner core with you!¡± Only then did Dong Xie back to her senses and realize that she was already on the ground. Recalling everything she had seen at the bottom of the pit, she frowned and said, ¡°What did I just do?¡± What exactly was so attractive in theke that she wanted to go down and find out? Su Cheng¡¯s face was dark, but he still said, ¡°Your cultivation level is too low, so you¡¯ve been bewitched!¡± Hearing the big snake¡¯s words, Dong Xi¡¯s expression became even more curious. He could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s confusing? There¡¯s a living thing in the water?¡± ¡°You stay here and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll go down and take a look,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. Before Dong Xi could reply, Su Cheng had already disappeared. Dong Xi immediatelyy on the edge of the huge pit and looked down, but the rising pink mist was so thick that she could not see the ground clearly. She then threw out a series of fireballs. Su Cheng, who had reached the bottom, heard the sound. He looked up and saw a series of ¡®fireworks¡¯. The thing in theke was poisonous to others, but it was a great supplement to Su Cheng. Su Cheng immediately returned to his original form and entered theke. At the bottom of theke, there was a pink flower in the middle of a pile of white bones. It was a lotus flower, and there was a lotus seed head beside it. The lotus seed inside was round and full, and one could tell at a nce that it had been there for a long time. The lotus flower emitted a pink mist, turning the entireke water pink, making it look like a young girl who had juste out of the bath. However, Su Cheng did not appreciate it at all and pulled the entire lotus root up. He turned around and was about to leave when he looked at the lotus flower again and pulled it out. Dong Xi was still waiting to watch the show, but there was no movement for a long time. Not a single sound could be heard. Dong Xi sat by the pit in boredom, her two little feet shaking one after the other. The sky was about to turn dark, and it seemed that they had been in the forest for five days. The trialsted for a total of ten days. There were many ces on the map that Dong Xi had not explored. Was she going to be trapped in the same ce for ten days? She was unwilling to ept this! As Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts ran wild, the fallen leaves on the ground moved without any wind. Dong Xi turned around and saw a huge lotus flower, and it was a pink lotus flower. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. The next moment, a refreshing fragrance entered Dong Xi¡¯s nose. It was as if a filter had been added to her eyes, and even therge snake had turned pink. She did not even think about what happened before she fainted. Her entire body seemed to have no bones as she fell toward the bottom of the pit. Su Cheng subconsciously wrapped his tail around Dong Xi and brought her back. Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s pink face, Su Cheng frowned. This girl seemed to be more fragile than he had imagined. He could not even handle the fragrance of such a small flower? Su Cheng reached out and pressed on Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian, guiding the spiritual Qi in his inner core to help Dong Xi remove the poison. This time, Dong Xi¡¯s risk might be rted to the inner core. Such a poisonous substance that was tens of thousands of years old had a huge attraction to Su Cheng¡¯s inner core. The sky gradually darkened and the bright moon hung high in the sky. Su Cheng looked up at the sky and thought of the little girl¡¯s unusual physique. He pulled back his hand and threw Dong Xi under the moonlight. When the moonlight shone on Dong Xi¡¯s body, the surrounding earth, wood, and fire spiritual Qi immediately enveloped Dong Xi. Even the remaining pink mist in the air started to avoid her. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi absorption speed, Su Cheng was also very envious. When Su Cheng was still a small demon, if he could have such speed, he would not have been bitten off by other demons! Of course, the demon beasts that had once bullied Su Cheng were all dead. If it was not for the fact that Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation was too low, the pink mist would not have been able to affect her at all. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi was circting in his meridians. With every great Qi cirction, the pink mist in Dong Xi¡¯s body would decrease a lot. Finally, she woke up once again. Only then did Su Cheng stop. Dong Xi nced around before looking back at Su Cheng and asked with a puzzled face, ¡°Why isn¡¯t it pink?¡± Su Cheng was confused. What pink? Su Cheng was a ck snake, so how could there be pink? Seeing that the snake was unwilling to pay attention to her, Dong Xi sat up and scratched her hair. The teacher mumbled, ¡°It was pink just now!¡± Su Cheng could not help but exin, ¡°You were poisoned just now.¡± Dong Xi was a little shocked. She remembered that she seemed to have seen a huge pink lotus flower before she fainted. Dong Xi¡¯s expression was very serious. She gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Are you trying to poison me to death and then use my body to do bad things?¡± Chapter 109 - 109 Restraint 109 Restraint Su Cheng was so angry that heughed. He said coldly, ¡°Just with your thin arms and legs? Hehe!¡± In the quiet forest, only Su Cheng¡¯s coldughter could be heard. Su Cheng used his tail to roll Dong Xi up and brought her to his eyes. The cold vertical pupils looked into Dong Xi¡¯s eyes. Dong Xi could clearly see the big snake¡¯s mouth slightly raised. Su Cheng said jokingly, ¡°Isn¡¯t my body more suitable for doing bad things?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°...¡± ¡°Big snake, restrain yourself, your tongue is about to lick my face!¡± Dong Xi said. Su Cheng¡¯s recovered from his instinct when he heard Dong Xi say this, and he held back. Then, he flicked his tail and threw Dong Xi on the ground. Dong Xi sat up and looked at the snake, who did not change in the slightest but was obviously unhappy. She immediately said, ¡°What was that flower just now?¡± Dong Xi did not know that snake had only plucked the flower off to make her happy. It was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and snakes were the same. ¡°Andromeda,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. When Dong Xi heard this name, she was stunned. She seemed to have seen this name before in a book. Andromeda, highly toxic, releases poisonous gas to kill living things. However, the book did not mention that Andromeda had such great power. What was wrong? Could it be because of that formation? ¡°Is it a formation?¡± Dong Xi raised her head and asked. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s question, Su Cheng looked up at Dong Xi and lightly said, ¡°Looks like you have a good eye.¡± Dong Xi was a little dissatisfied. She turned her head, indicating that she did not want to pay attention to the big snake. Su Cheng did not care and continued, ¡°This should be raised by someone else. The formation is also an illusionary formation with the effect of gathering spiritual energy. No matter if it¡¯s a human or a demon beast, as long as they enter, they will uncontrobly walk towards theke and eventually be the nourishment of this flower.¡± Su Cheng took out the flower again. He did not throw it directly to Dong Xi, but picked a few petals and threw them over. Dong Xi looked at such a huge flower, but there were only two petals in her hand. She was a little stunned. She carefully recalled the books she had read before and was even more stunned. The Andromeda was a highly toxic nt, and it had miraculous effects when used to refine demon tools or puppets. However, Dong Xi was a Righteous cultivator. It was impossible for her to learn these unorthodox ways. What was the use of these petals? ¡°It¡¯s pretty, but I¡¯m a cultivator of the Righteous Path, so I don¡¯t need it, do I?¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Are you suggesting I just use it to soak my feet?¡± Su Cheng sneered and said coldly, ¡°Oh, a Righteous Path cultivator who carries my inner core?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s expression suddenly became a little tense, and he retorted forcefully, ¡°I¡¯m Righteous! Nothing but Righteous! Just you wait! I¡¯ll destroy your inner core sooner orter!¡± Su Cheng was disdainful of this statement. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng¡¯s appearance and seemed to remember something. She immediately asked, ¡°Why are you in the Secret Realm? Didn¡¯t they say that Foundation Establishment cultivators and above can¡¯t enter?¡± Su Cheng frowned and said coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask.¡± Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng curiously for a long time. Then, she suddenly had an idea. She stared at Su Cheng and said, ¡°You can¡¯t be ....¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Su Cheng immediately panicked. However, in the next moment, Dong Xi blinked her eyes and asked, ¡°Is it because you don¡¯t have an inner core, so your cultivation level dropped? Now you¡¯re in the Qi Refinement stage like me?¡± Su Cheng was confused. His originally nervous mood instantly rxed, and he did not say anything. He only nced at Dong Xi with an unknown meaning. Dong Xi blinked, not quite understanding. What was with the snake¡¯s eyes? Could it be that she had guessed correctly, so he was feeling guilty? If the big snake was only at the Qi Refinement stage, why was Dong Xi still unable to defeat it? Dong Xi carefully thought back to the books she had read in the library. Demon beasts could not cultivate before they took human form, and only had innate skills. They relied on their physical bodies to fight. Dong Xi suddenly understood, and the body cultivation mentioned in the ¡®Feasibility of a Loser¡¯s Counterattack¡¯ appeared in her mind. As expected! The ancients did not lie to me! If Dong Xi could also have such a physical body, wouldn¡¯t she be able to fight with the great snake? Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s constantly changing expression and did not know what this girl was thinking. Su Cheng looked at the dark sky and said coldly, ¡°This petal can repair my inner core. Once it¡¯s repaired, it won¡¯t stay in your Dantian.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she said in surprise, ¡°Alright!¡± Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi was about to eat the petal and could not help but ask, ¡°Have you forgotten that you are an alchemist? You can concoct pills, right?¡± Chapter 110 - 110 Who Would Eat It Raw? 110 Who Would Eat It Raw? As an alchemist, shouldn¡¯t she be thinking about how to refine pills when she got any materials? Who would eat it raw? Dong Xi was asked by Su Cheng and remembered that he seemed to be an alchemist. It¡¯s just that... Up until now, she hasn¡¯t refined any medicinal pills! At the thought of this, Dong Xi could not help but sigh. It had been such a long time since she had be a qualified alchemist. She finally understood why her Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior brother had been dying thepletion of their tasks. It seemed that one could only owe 60 years of alchemy tasks to the sect at most. Otherwise, the two Senior Brothers would probably owe them 120 years¡¯ worth of work! Dong Xi smiled and spat out what she had already eaten, putting it into her storage ring. Dong Xi tried to exin. ¡°It¡¯s not that my grade is not high enough. Forget it. I¡¯ll keep it first. I¡¯ll refine it when my grade is higher.¡± Su Cheng was also used to Dong Xi¡¯s flowery words, so he just nodded and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Dong Xi took another look at the formation at the bottom of the pit and asked, ¡°What should we do with this formation?¡± Although this poisonous object had already been taken away by the big snake, as long as this formation was still present, no one dared to say what other poisonous objects would appear. Su Cheng, who saw through Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts, said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that better?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She casually picked up a bone from the ground and threw it at Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, ¡°How many lives would be taken by such a poisonous creature? How can you just casually say that this is better?¡± Su Cheng dodged sideways and looked at Dong Xi coldly. He said indifferently, ¡°What do the other lives have to do with me?¡± Dong Xi was shocked. How could the snake say such cold words? However, after thinking about it carefully, he was a venomous snake. How could Dong Xi make him feel the same way? Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s cold face, Su Cheng only said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Dong Xi shook her head, nced at Su Cheng, and coldly said, ¡°We walk different paths, so we can¡¯t work together.¡± Dong Xi turned around, grabbed the vine from before, and climbed to the bottom of the pit again. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s actions and was also confused. Weren¡¯t humans all selfish, sinister, and vicious? Why was this little girl like this? She knew that the formation down there would kill her, but she still went down? Su Cheng stood by the pit, watching Dong Xi¡¯s thin figure go down bit by bit. With that little cultivation base of hers, how could she even dream of destroying the formation? She was too naive. Then, she saw Dong Xi stop when she was about to reach the bottom of the pit. Both her feet were wrapped in spiritual Qi as she stood on the cliff, skillfully forming hand seals. Feeling the spiritual Qi gradually gathering in Dong Xi¡¯s hands, Su Cheng could not help but be surprised. This human youngling was actually more powerful than she had imagined. Dong Xi¡¯s movements were getting faster and faster. It was obvious that she was running out of spiritual Qi. Without any hesitation, Dong Xi used the spiritual Qi in the big snake¡¯s inner core. Dong Xi did not know how high the snake¡¯s cultivation was, but she could feel that even if she extracted the spiritual Qi from it, there seemed to be no end to it. Dong Xi was extremely shocked. It was only when she felt that the spiritual Qi in her hand had reached its limit that she pped out the seal. The golden-green Mark had a trace of purple Qi. Su Cheng¡¯s face turned green as he stood on it. This was his cultivation! The little girl¡¯s heart did not ache at all! She was using it without hesitation! But fortunately, his realm was still the same, so he did not want to argue with the little girl for the time being. The imprint slowlynded in the center of the formation, and the st from the explosion almost flipped Dong Xi to the ground. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi had all been used on the imprint, so she had no power to resist at all. Dong Xi felt her hair pulling on her scalp. Her entire body was smacked onto the cliff by the air wave, and her facial features were also distorted. The next second, a figure appeared in front of Dong Xi and brought her back to the pit. The suffocating feeling disappeared and was reced by an extremely ufortable and soft stomach. Fortunately, she had been taking Fasting Pills for the past few days. Otherwise, she would have vomited miserably. Dong Xi put her hands on Su Cheng¡¯s shoulders and lifted her head to breathe. She did not expect that she was so high up that a branch would almost knock her head. Is this how it feels to stand on a giant¡¯s shoulder? Hmm, it¡¯s nothing to shout about. ¡°Put me down,¡± said Dong Xi immediately after she caught her breath. I¡¯ll carry you, ¡± Su Cheng said coldly. ¡°You can¡¯t get out on your own.¡± Dong Xi naturally did not mind hitchhiking. The big snake was very fast. If they relied on Dong Xi¡¯s flying device, not only would it beborious, but the important thing was that it was too costly! However... Dong Xi said, ¡°But you¡¯re carrying me like this, my shoulders are jolting so much that I want to throw up. Can you please...¡± before he could finish speaking, Dong Xi was lifted up and changed into another position. At this moment, Dong Xi was sitting on Su Cheng¡¯s shoulder, exactly the same as when Songsong had sat on her shoulder. Chapter 111 - 111 It’s Not Right to Eat All the Food Yourself 111 It¡¯s Not Right to Eat All the Food Yourself Dong Xi was more or less embarrassed, but the feeling of sitting on someone else¡¯s shoulder was really great! It felt good to sit down, and she could see far away. Thefort level was perfect! Dong Xi took out a Spirit Restore Pill and quickly ate it. After thinking for a moment, she took out a supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill and stuffed it into Su Cheng¡¯s mouth. It was not right to keep everything to herself. Even children knew how to share, let alone Dong Xi! Su Cheng, who was suddenly forced to feed it, was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that Dong Xi had given him a supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill and fell silent. As expected, alchemy cultivators could take pills anytime and anywhere. Would it be toote for Su Cheng to learn now? Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi recovered a little, and she quickly made a protective shield over her head to avoid being hurt by the branches again. After finishing everything, Dong Xi looked down at the snake. Although the snake¡¯s skin was rough and thick, its face was really handsome. Dong Xi could not bear to let this face be scratched by branches, so she put on a protective shield for Su Cheng. Su Cheng, ¡°...¡± What was this thing? Heh, a protective shield that could be destroyed by a sneeze. Although Su Cheng did not like it, he did not destroy the protective shield. The two of them put on the yellow ¡®helmets¡¯ made of earth spiritual energy and quickly moved through the forest. Su Cheng¡¯s speed was very fast. it was as if he was flying. No, it was as if he was a flying snake! The array that had trapped Dong Xi for a long time had been broken out by Su Cheng in just a few minutes. Standing at the edge of the forest, Dong Xi looked at the forest behind him and asked curiously, ¡°Songsong and I couldn¡¯t get out even after walking for a long time. Why did youe out so quickly?¡± ¡°This is a natural formation,¡± Su Cheng exined. ¡°Those who rear poisonous creatures use this formation to deceive everyone.¡± If it was not for this formation, how could the Ningtian Sect not have discovered it and left behind such a ¡®harmful¡¯ thing! However, this poison was a great supplement for Su Cheng! At this moment, Dong Xi also noticed that hermunication jade slip was constantly sending out notifications. She knew that she could contact the outside world from here. She hurriedly took out the jade slip. The jade slip immediately glowed brightly, and a series of messages were sent over. Dong Xi did not know where to start. There were the training strategies sent by the two Senior Brothers, and Chi Yan telling Dong Xi where there were some powerful demon beasts, telling her to stay away. However, most of the messages were sent by Ke Xin. [Sister, I¡¯m picking up the Dragon Grass! The trial was really great, it was like picking up money! I should be able to exchange it for a lot of points when I go back!] [Sister, I just came out of the Demonic Bamboo Forest! I suspect that the bamboo there is actually a human. It hurts so much!] [Sister, you might not believe it, but I was chased by a rabbit and it took me a lot of effort to escape. When I go back, I must learn a special movement technique!] [Sister, why didn¡¯t you reply to my message?] [Xiaoxi, where are you?] [What happened to you?] ¡­ Ke Xin¡¯s tone became more and more anxious. [Are you still in the swamp? [I¡¯ll go find you now!] This message was sent four hours after Dong Xi entered the forest. When Dong Xi saw this message, she immediately replied. [Sister, I was trapped in the formation just now. The jade slip was blocked, and I couldn¡¯t send messages. I¡¯m fine now. There¡¯s no need toe!] Dong Xi suddenly realized that even though Ke Xin was a chatterbox, she still came despite knowing that there was danger. She did not know if Ke Xin was a loyal friend or a little silly. However, Dong Xi¡¯s heart was filled with warmth. Now that she had escaped the formation, she naturally had to go to the center of the map that the group had agreed on. There was no need for Ke Xin to make an extra trip. In the next second, another message came through themunication jade slip. [Ah!! Help!] When Dong Xi saw this message, she immediately asked, ¡°Ke Xin, where are you? I¡¯ll be there immediately!¡± Ke Xin also sent a voice message, panting as she said, ¡°In¡­ In the grass, I¡¯m being chased by a few killer rabbits!! Ah¡­¡± Dong Xi was just about to take out the little turtle to save Ke Xin when she remembered that she was sitting on the snake¡¯s shoulder. She raised her head and met the snake¡¯s eyes. Of course, Su Cheng was not looking at Dong Xi, but at Dong Xi¡¯s jade slip. Su Cheng frowned and asked in confusion, ¡°Why is no one contacting my jade slip?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°....¡± Dong Xi put the turtle back into her storage ring and then bargained like a profiteer. Dong Xi said, ¡°I can teach you, but can you take me somewhere?¡± Su Cheng threw the ¡®baggage¡¯ on the ground and coldly said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to learn anymore!¡± Chapter 112 - 112 You Still Dare to Talk about Conditions? 112 You Still Dare to Talk about Conditions? Dong Xi had a helpless expression. She did not expect the big snake to be so heartless. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi and coldly said, ¡°You used my cultivation just now, and I didn¡¯t even argue with you. Now you still dare to talk about conditions?¡± Dong Xi smiled, knowing that she had gone a bit too far just now. She said guiltily, ¡°Well¡­ Your inner core is also in my Dantian. When I cultivate, I can help you recover.¡± Su Cheng did not know why, but he just did not want to argue with Dong Xi. Dong Xi also felt a little apologetic. After all, she had used someone else¡¯s cultivation. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi took out two crystals from the ming Frost-skin Rat and gave them to Su Cheng. Su Cheng looked at the two earth spirit stones that Dong Xi handed over and reached out to take them. With a sneer, he threw it back to Dong Xi and said disdainfully, ¡°These little ythings, you keep them and y with them yourself. Protect my inner core!¡± Su Cheng disappeared as soon as he finished speaking. Dong Xi looked at the big snake¡¯s ability and was truly envious. One day in the future, Dong Xi would also have such abilities! Dong Xi took out the tortoise and flew toward Ke Xin¡¯s location ording to the map. The grass was still quite a distance away from Dong Xi. As she flew, she ate medicinal pills and did not forget to make a protective shield for her head. Although she was still young, she could not mess around with her hairline. As she rushed to Ke Xin¡¯s location, Dong Xi ate a whole bottle of Spirit Restore Pills. Dong Xi¡¯s heart ached a little. When she caught those two rabbits, she must vent her anger! Very quickly, Dong Xi found Ke Xin, who was running for her life. There were three crickets and three rabbits chasing after her? Dong Xi was extremely surprised. This thing was a rabbit? The rabbit was taller than Ke Xin and was very muscr. Its red eyes were like the front fangs of a beast. If she was bitten, wouldn¡¯t she be broken into two? Dong Xi immediately threw out two fireballs, helping Ke Xin draw some of the aggro. Ke Xin looked up and saw Dong Xi stepping on a turtle. She quickly shouted, ¡°Xiaoxi!¡± Dong Xi saw that the rabbit behind was about to catch up, and immediately threw out a fireball to help Ke Xin. ¡°Let¡¯s deal with the rabbit first!¡± said Dong Xi. For this trial, Ke Xin had already started her preparations long ago and had even learned a few offensive spells. ¡°Fire!¡± Ke Xin shouted. Dong Xi, who was throwing fireballs, was startled by Ke Xin¡¯s roar. She looked over and saw Ke Xin throwing out a skill that looked like a pulse wave. Dong Xi was a little shocked. This magic spell was too cool! When she returned to the sect, she would definitely learn it! But why did she shout it out? Was there an additional bonus? Dong Xi immediately followed suit and shouted, ¡°Fireball!¡± Ke Xin also looked at Dong Xi in confusion. Both of them looked at each other in confusion. Then, she ignored the other party and continued to clean up the rabbit in front of her. Even though Ke Xin¡¯s cultivation level was not high, she could still manage to take care of a rabbit. As she ran, she released two spells. Dong Xi found that the damage of the magic spell was not great, and she immediately took out the Purple Jade Sword. ¡°Sword!¡± Dong Xi shouted. A year after Dong Xi entered the sect, other than cultivating andprehending the Dao, she had been practicing the sword. Although he had always been using basic sword techniques, this was currently Dong Xi¡¯s most powerful attack. Jumping down from the turtle, Dong Xi charged at the rabbit with the Purple Jade Sword in her hand. As she charged, Dong Xi gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Sisters! There¡¯s rabbit meat to eat tonight!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s borrowed the momentum of the nts to stab out with her sword. The rabbit had no time to dodge at all and was injured by the sword¡¯s momentum, letting out an ear-piercing cry. Dong Xi also gave up on defending, and with a casual swing of her sword, she continued to attack. Facing Dong Xi¡¯s attack, the rabbit wanted to counterattack, but it could not avoid the sword. It could only dodge in all directions, but it was still killed by Dong Xi. With one less rabbit, the remaining two were much easier. After the three rabbits were dealt with, the two of them directlyy on the ground side by side. Compared to Dong Xi, Ke Xin¡¯s condition was even worse. Before Dong Xi¡¯s arrival, Ke Xin had already been chased by three rabbits for a long time. She looked especially miserable now, with obvious wounds on her body. It did not stop Ke Xin from looking up at the sky, her eyes shining as she said, ¡°Sister, your sword technique is very cool! I¡¯ll also learn it when I get back!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I said learning the sword is useful,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. As they were talking, Dong Xi and Ke Xin¡¯smunication jade slips rang. The two opened it and saw that it was a message from Chi Yan. Both of their messages were exactly the same. Ke Xin sat up and looked at Dong Xi. She asked, ¡°Chi Yan said to pick mushrooms. Are we still going to roast the rabbits?¡± Chapter 113 - 113 Pick the Mushrooms First, Then Roast Meat 113 Pick the Mushrooms First, Then Roast Meat Dong Xi pondered for a moment before shaking her head, ¡°First pick the mushrooms, then roast the meat. I can help Chi Yan roast a few mushrooms to eat.¡± Chi Yan found a patch of Mystic Spirit Mushrooms in the ghost woods. Such mushrooms could only be found in the ghost woods, and they were also an ingredient for refining the Cooling Pill. When a fire attribute cultivator broke through to the next cultivation realm, the rich fire spiritual energy would burn his meridians. As long as he took the Cooling Pill in advance, he would be much better. Of course, cultivators like Dong Xi, who refined their meridians while cultivating, didn¡¯t need any cooling pills. After Chi Yan had refined the Marrow-cleansing Gold, she had turned into a pure fire spirit root. She was surrounded by fire spiritual energy at all times, so she naturally did not need it much. She should be asking them to collect some and exchange them for points. Dong Xi thought about it, then told Ke Xin about the meridian-tempering. ¡°You have to think carefully ording to your cultivation speed, ¡± Dong Xi reminded her. ¡°Don¡¯t dy your breakthrough just because you¡¯re tempering your meridians.¡± If one could not reach Foundation Establishment by the age of 60 and did not have any fortuitous encounters in their life, they could only reach the Golden Core stage. Ke Xin thought for a while and said, ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve thought it through. When we return, I want to be like you. I¡¯ll cultivate at night. This way, I¡¯ll have a few more hours of cultivation than usual. I¡¯ll use this time to temper my meridians!¡± The ghost woods was indeed the ghost woods. As soon as the two entered the ghost woods, they felt a cold aura. Thanks to the fact that both of them had fire spiritual roots, the fire spiritual Qi only needed to be circted once to dispel a lot of the cold. The two of them walked in the direction Chi Yan had pointed out. Not long after, they saw arge patch of Mystic Spirit Mushrooms. Chi Yan also sensed that the two of them had arrived. She put all the mushrooms she had just picked into her storage ring and got up to walk toward them. Chi Yan said, ¡°There are a lot of mystic mushrooms here. I can¡¯t take all of them. You guys should be able to use them too. So, I asked you toe over.¡± ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll roast some mushrooms for youter!¡± Chi Yan was stunned at first, then she smiled and said, ¡°Alright!¡± If it was any other cultivator, they would not dare to eat such a cold thing, but Chi Yan had the heavenly spirit root, so she was not afraid. ¡°Xiaoxi, why couldn¡¯t I contact you yesterday?¡± Chi Yan asked. When Ke Xin heard this question, she added, ¡°That¡¯s right, I was so worried. Is everything alright? Didn¡¯t you say you were trapped in the formation?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Dong Xi shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s a natural formation. I came out after going in circles a few times.¡± Dong Xi said it so casually. She did not say anything even though she almost lost her life there. After observing this ce full of mushrooms, Dong Xi felt a little strange. Dong Xi said, ¡°Did you notice that there are mushrooms on one side of the tree and no mushrooms on the other? Also, did you notice that all the trees in the outer circle are like this? And it¡¯s even colder at the side where there are mushrooms.¡± When Chi Yan heard this, she began to think. Ke Xin asked curiously, ¡°Oh, really? Where was it cold? Why don¡¯t I feel anything?¡± Little Junior Sister is right,¡± Chi Yan said, looking at the two of them. ¡°This ce is colder than other ces.¡± Then, she looked at Dong Xi and asked, ¡°You think there¡¯s a problem here?¡± Dong Xi vigntly looked around and nodded, ¡°Maybe there¡¯s something else here!¡± Chi Yan looked around, and a trace of fire shed in her eyes. This was a natural skill of Chi Yan¡¯s n, but no matter how she looked, she still found nothing. ¡°There are no illusions, ¡± Chi Yan said. ¡°If there¡¯s really something, it¡¯ll be a real attack. Be careful, everyone. Dong Xi said, ¡°The Mystic Spirit Mushroom is a cold yin object. It should be apanied by demon vines. I suspect that there should be some here. We should be careful. The demonic vines may not appear from anywhere. Chi Yan looked at Dong Xi and suddenly understood. No wonder when her master epted her as a disciple, he also epted Dong Xi. Now it seemed that her master had a reason for epting Dong Xi. As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Chi Yan took out the zing me Sword, and Dong Xi also took out the Purple Jade Sword. Ke Xin looked at the two of them enviously. She was even more certain that she would practice her swordsmanship properly when she returned. A pill refinement master who did not know any sword techniques was not fit to be a disciple of the Alchemy Sect of the Ningtian Sect! The three of them vigntly observed their surroundings as they picked the mushrooms. Just two meters behind the three of them, a mound of earth suddenly appeared. When Dong Xi heard the sound, she immediately stopped her movements and raised her Purple Jade Sword to guard herself. The next second, a ck vine attacked the three of them. Dong Xi and Chi Yan attacked with their swords at the same time and shouted, ¡°Sword,e!¡± Chapter 114 - 114 Give Me Fire 114 Give Me Fire Ke Xin stood on the spot and could only watch, unable to help. Dong Xi and Chi Yan fought with the vines for a long time. Suddenly, another vine appeared on their right. Ke Xin immediately became anxious and shouted, ¡°Fire!¡± Although the demonic vine was powerful, it was still wood-type and had a natural fear of fire! Dong Xi was already used to hearing Ke Xin shout slogans, but this was Chi Yan¡¯s first time, and her sword technique stopped for a moment. Dong Xi smiled and used wood element spiritual Qi to control ordinary vines to wrap around the demonic vine. She turned to Ke Xin and said, ¡°Sister, give me a fire!¡± ¡°Fire!¡± Ke Xin immediately shouted. Looking at the burning demonic vine, Chi Yan and Dong Xi immediately retreated, while the demonic vine wanted to drill back into the ground. Dong Xi looked at the two of them and said, ¡°We¡¯ve also picked a lot. Let¡¯s leave now. The rest can be left to the Junior Brothers and Sisters.¡± The three of them left the ghost woods. Dong Xi looked at Chi Yan, who wanted to say something but held back. She asked, ¡°Little Senior Sister, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Chi Yan¡¯s expression was conflicted for a moment before he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Junior Sister, why do you have to shout every time you make a move?¡± Dong Xi and Ke Xin looked at each other and could not help butugh. Ke Xin stomped her feet in embarrassment and rolled her eyes at Dong Xi. ¡°I was just trying to boost my courage! You don¡¯t know how terrified I was when I was being chased by three rabbits!¡± Hearing this, Chi Yan smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s not a bad idea.¡± Dong Xi took the jade slip and looked at the map. She turned around on the spot and found the location ording to the sun. Dong Xi said, ¡°We¡¯re from the south. There¡¯s a river there. Second Senior Brother said that there are Skrk Fishes in the river. It¡¯s great to pair them with rabbits at the barbecue.¡± When the three of them arrived at the river, the sky had already turned dark. The moon hung in the sky, the grass by the river was green, and there were some fireflies. Fish often jumped out of the river. Not to mention the high attack power of these fish, just this scene alone made people feel like they were in a fairy tale world. However, the next second, Ke Xin was attacked by the water jet that the Skrk Fish shot out. Ke Xin sucked in a breath of cold air and sat on the ground, paralyzed. She clutched her knee and said, ¡°It hurts. It¡¯s like I¡¯ve been shot by an arrow. Dong Xi immediately stepped forward to check, gathering wood spiritual Qi in her hand and pressing it against Ke Xin¡¯s knee. Slowly, the pain in Ke Xin¡¯s knee dissipated. Ke Xin¡¯s brows also rxed. She looked up at Ke Xin with joy in her eyes. Ke Xin said, ¡°Sister, wood spiritual energy can be used like this? I¡¯ve learned a lot today!¡± Ke Xin¡¯s Wood spirit root was slightly stronger than Dong Xi¡¯s, and her root value was close to 70. Ke Xin immediately mimicked Dong Xi¡¯s earlier action, gathering wood spiritual energy in her hand and pressing it on the wounds on her body. As she watched the wound slowly disappear, Ke Xin cried out in even greater surprise, ¡°it¡¯s really useful!¡± ¡°Sister,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°Actually, you can directly circte wood spiritual energy to the wound!¡± Ke Xin was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, ¡°I was so stupid, but now I really know.¡± Chi Yan looked at the two of them talking andughing, and she felt a little envious. She even felt that even if it she had the heavenly spirit root, it would be great if she had a wood spirit root. Dong Xi took out the rabbit and mushroom from her storage ring and was about to go to the river to wash them when Ke Xin immediately said, ¡°Sister, be careful of the fish in the water!¡± ¡°I have my ways!¡± Dong Xi turned around and said with a smile. Ke Xin¡¯s eyes widened to see what Dong Xi was going to do, but in the next second, she saw a yellow protective barrier appear around Dong Xi. Dong Xi was washing the rabbits and mushrooms by the river while Ke Xin took out the bamboo she had cut down in anger. The rabbit meat also had a bloody smell, which attracted the demon beasts in the river. Dong Xi¡¯s movements stopped for a moment. She raised her hand, and a thick protective cover appeared. Then, many water pirs shot out from the river. The protective shield on Dong Xi¡¯s hand shattered in a moment, and the one on her body seemed to be about to dissipate after withstanding this attack. Dong Xi immediately got up and dodged out of the shooting range, but when she turned around, Ke Xin saw that Dong Xi was in a sorry state. Dong Xi¡¯s clothes were covered in mud and Ke Xin could not help butugh when she saw it. She imitated Dong Xi¡¯s previous actions and blinked her eyes, saying, ¡°I thought you have your ways?¡± Covered in dirt, Dong Xi cast a cleaning spell on herself and said to Ke Xin, ¡°It¡¯s already impressive that I¡¯m not injured. It¡¯s fine if I¡¯m a little dirty!¡± Chi Yan saw the two of them and asked, ¡°The fish... Do you guys still want to eat them?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± The two of them replied at the same time. Chapter 115 - 115 Fishing 115 Fishing ¡°Although the fish¡¯s attack power isn¡¯t very strong, they¡¯re in the water. After all. we¡¯re on the shore, so it¡¯s a little difficult to catch them,¡± Chi Yan said. Dong Xi picked up the bamboo that Ke Xin had contributed, looked at Chi Yan, and asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t we... Go fishing?¡± As she spoke, Dong Xi took out the rabbit fur that she had packed up in front of the two of them. She rolled the rabbit fur into a long line and tied it to a bamboo. On the other side, she hung a bamboo stick with a piece of leftover rat meat stuck in it. Ke Xin and Chi Yan were slightly dumbfounded. They could do this? They could catch the fish like this? Dong Xi asked the two of them to prepare the meat while she gave herself a yellow protective shield. Then, she sat on the shore, her mind clear of distractions. A true warrior would not only dare to face the brutal fish, but would also catch them and eat them! Dong Xi¡¯s attention was all on the fishing rod. Once the fishing rod reacted, Dong Xi would also be able to react immediately. Not long after, a fish bit the hook. These fish were only tier 1, so how could they resist such a temptation? Dong Xi immediately picked up the fishing rod and said with a smile, ¡°Sisters! Hurry up! I caught it! It¡¯s our turn to take revenge!¡± Ke Xin and Chi Yan immediately ran forward. Ke Xin said, ¡°She actually caught it?¡± Dong Xi took the fish and threw it to Ke Xin. Dong Xi said, ¡°Kill the fish! I¡¯ll fish for more!¡± By the time the three of them were full, the sky had already turnedpletely dark. Ke Xin immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. Of the three of them, Ke Xin¡¯s cultivation was the lowest, and she did not dare to rx. ¡°You should also recover your spiritual energy. I¡¯ll keep watch for the night,¡± said Chi Yan while looking at Dong Xi. Dong Xi shook her head. How could she dare to cultivate in the middle of the night? If they found out that there was something wrong with her spiritual energy, wouldn¡¯t her little avatar be exposed? Dong Xi said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. My spiritual energy recovery is too slow. I¡¯d rather take two medicinal pills. You should hurry up and cultivate. The spiritual energy here is quite rich. Don¡¯t miss it.¡± When Chi Yan heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she did not try to be pretentious and immediately said, ¡°Alright, then you¡¯ll keep watch tonight. I¡¯ll take over tomorrow.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve been practicing my swordsmanship for the past two days. You two meditate while I practice my swordsmanship at the side. It¡¯s just right.¡± The night was long, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste to just sit there the whole night? When the sky was about to turn bright, Chi Yan opened her eyes and saw Dong Xi practicing her swordsmanship by the riverbank. The demon beasts in the water would spit water pirs to attack Dong Xi. Dong Xi dodged them one after another and then shed the water pirs with her sword. As soon as she dodged it, another water pir followed. Dong Xi switched her sword to her left hand and once again split the water pir. Chi Yan was a little shocked. This Little Junior Sister¡¯sprehension of cultivation was amazing, and she was also very good at adapting to the immediate conditions. Chi Yan looked at Ke Xin, who was still meditating. She stood up, took out her sword, and walked to the river. Compared to Dong Xi¡¯s basic swordsmanship, Chi Yan¡¯s was a lot more gaudy. Ke Xin looked at Chi Yan, who was also practicing her swordsmanship by the river, and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Sister! Isn¡¯t my idea good? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I don¡¯t have a sack to store them, I would have caught them all.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words reminded Chi Yan. Chi Yan¡¯s hand movements stopped, and the corner of her mouth rose slightly. she said, ¡°I have it!¡± Ke Xin had also woken up at this time and saw Dong Xi and Chi Yan by the river, holding a fishing made of grass. It also carried Dong Xi¡¯s wood spiritual energy, so the fish could not break it with one bite. ¡°That works too?¡± Ke Xin asked in shock. Dong Xi felt that it was about time and immediately pulled in the. Needless to say, she really caught some fish. Chi Yan took out a bottle and put all the fish in it. Then, she filled it with some river water. Dong Xi continued to cast the twice until Chi Yan¡¯s bottle was full of fish. Having caught these fishes, she could have a bite if she became hungry from her swordsmanship training The three of them erased their traces by the river. After a short discussion, they decided to set off for the central pce. Even if everyone said that there was nothing left, the disciples who came in each time would not believe it without taking a look by themselves. There were still four days before the end of the journey, and Dong Xi had taken two days to get there. The closer they got, the more Dong Xi and the others began to meet other disciples of the sect. She even heard people arguing. ¡°Take out the Spirit Light Orchid!¡± ¡°Why? I¡¯m the one who found it. Why do I have to take it out?¡± ¡°I saw it first! I was the one who lured the monsters away!¡± ¡°It¡¯ll only count if you get it, don¡¯t be naive! what¡¯s the point of just watching?¡± ¡­ Ke Xin¡¯s ears perked up when she heard the argument. Rabbit? Ke Xin had lured away a few before, but she did not see any Spirit Light Orchids? Chapter 116 - 116 Fighting Is the Cultivation of a Swordsman 116 Fighting Is the Cultivation of a Swordsman While Ke Xin was still in a daze, Chi Yan and Dong Xi had already walked far away. Ke Xin came back to her senses and immediately caught up. Ke Xin said, ¡°Don¡¯t we need to stop the fight?¡± Chi Yan did not say anything. Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin and said with a smile, ¡°I promise, if you go over now, they will think that you are going to snatch the treasure.¡± ¡°They were talking about rabbits.¡± Ke Xin said with a frown, ¡°But we killed three of them and didn¡¯t see any treasures.¡± Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin¡¯s conflicted expression and immediately said, ¡°Sister, you have to know that what¡¯s yours is yours. What¡¯s not yours will never be yours.¡± Ke Xin suddenly understood. She heard Dong Xi say, ¡°It seems that it¡¯s not just luck, but also good eyes!¡± Ke Xin, ¡°¡­¡± Did she really not see it? Ke Xin thought to herself that when she returned to the sect, she would definitely ask if there were any cultivation techniques that could improve her eyesight! When she sessfully cultivated it, she would never miss out on treasures again! However, just as the three of them were about to leave, the two people who were arguing suddenly shouted in unison, ¡°Stop!¡± Dong Xi and the others did not pay any attention to him and continued walking forward. In the next second, a spirit talisman was thrown over. Dong Xi immediately conjured a protective barrier of earth spiritual energy, protecting the three of them. Ke Xin was also shocked when she saw the spirit talisman. Then, she was extremely disappointed in the spirit talisman. This talisman only produced a small me, simr to the firecrackers in the mortal world during the new year. Ke Xin said, ¡°Second Senior Brother¡¯s talismans are still the best. Every one of them can kill many demon beasts. This one can only be used as a firecracker during the new year. Dong Xi couldn¡¯t help but smile at Ke Xin¡¯s words. ¡°It¡¯s probably because the talisman sect trusts their disciples, but their abilities are not up to par.¡± Dong Xi removed the protective shield and turned to look at the two of them.¡±What are you doing? Junior Brothers, are you telling us to stop because you want to give us a share?¡± As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, the two of them immediately became alert. One of them was holding a spirit talisman while the other was holding a sword. Judging from their waist tokens, they should be inner disciples of the Sword Sect. ¡°Don¡¯te over,¡± one of them said. ¡°If you harm your fellow sect members, your cultivation will be crippled and you¡¯ll be thrown out of the sect.¡± ¡°Then you want to harm us?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. ¡°Why else would you call us? Do you want us to help you two split this loot?¡± The two of them looked at each other, afraid that Dong Xi and the others would call someone else over. Chi Yan did not have much patience. She was a monster beast and had a violent temper. Chi Yan took out her sword and said impatiently, ¡°You want to fight?¡± The disciples of the Sword Sect recognized Chi Yan and immediately shouted, ¡°Chi Yan! Hurry up and run!¡± Which of the new disciples of the Ningtian Sect did not know about Chi Yan? It was said that Chi Yan had already entered the Alchemy Sect, so Master Lingxu gave her the Marrow-cleansing Gold. Now, Chi Yan already had a heavenly spirit root. Who would dare to fight her? Moreover, Chi Yan was a demon beast. Even if the two of them attacked her together, they might not be able to break through Chi Yan¡¯s defense. The Talisman Sect¡¯s disciples immediately shouted when they saw the person running away, ¡°Don¡¯t run, give me back my treasure!¡± Chi Yan was very disappointed when she saw them running away. Dong Xi said from the side, ¡°These disciples are nothing. They don¡¯t even fight. How can they be good swordsmen?¡± Chi Yan nodded in agreement. How could a swordsman run? To practice the sword, one must have the heart to move forward bravely. Even if one knew that one was going to die, one must never retreat half a step! Chi Yan put away her sword, and the two people who had run away turned back. Not only did the two of theme back, but there was also a huge beast behind them. The two of them shouted. ¡°Help!¡± ¡°Save us!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi turned his head and saw a demon beast that looked like an ox. It was extremely huge and was chasing closely behind the two of them. In front of the giant beast, the two of them were like small stones on the ground, which could be trampled to death by the giant beast. Dong Xi had a bad premonition and was about to run when she saw Ke Xin in a daze. She immediately pulled Ke Xin and said, ¡°Sister, run! This is a tier 3 Brass Bull. We can¡¯t beat it even if we work together!¡± A tier 3 demon beast was equivalent to a human¡¯s Foundation Establishment stage. Even if they added up, they would not be able to withstand the demon beast¡¯s stomp. As she ran, Dong Xi took out the little leaf again. She first threw Ke Xin onto it, then jumped up herself. Chi Yan transformed into her original form and flew into the sky. Dong Xi sat on the leaf, helping her two Junior Brothers attract the beast¡¯s attention. Fireball, vine binding, crater. Dong Xi had used all her spells, and the Brass Bull waspletely unscathed. However, she had helped her two Junior Brothers gain some breathing time. When Ke Xin saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, she also threw the spells she knew at the Brass Bull. However, this little bit of force was like scratching an itch on the Brass Bull. It did not have much effect. Chapter 117 - 117 It Can’t Fly 117 It Can¡¯t Fly Although the Brass Bull would not be hurt, it was still very irritated. The Brass Bull roared and changed its direction, chasing after Dong Xi. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Ke Xin said. ¡°It can¡¯t fly.¡± Ke Xin had just finished speaking when a bolt of lightning struck the two of them. Thanks to Dong Xi¡¯s control of the leaf, they dodged quickly. When the two saw the Brass Bull¡¯s horns shing with lightning, they felt bitter in their mouths. Chi Yan also spat out a me at the bronze bull. The two Junior Brothers from the sect ran away immediately. They had no intention of fighting the enemy with them. Dong Xi did not have time to get angry. She immediately took out the little turtle, ate the Spirit Restore Pill, and shouted to Chi Yan, ¡°Little Senior Sister, we can¡¯t win. Run!¡± ¡°You guys run first, I¡¯ll hold it!¡± Chi Yan said. Dong Xi looked at Chi Yan¡¯s agile dodging and spells. Dong Xi shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s run!¡± With that, Dong Xi immediately carried Ke Xin on her back and quickly ran away. At this time, Ke Xin also threw out a bind. Dong Xi stepped on the little turtle and ran quickly. Chi Yan also took the opportunity to escape. The Brass Bull was so angry that it kept roaring, and arge amount of gas was spewing out of its nostrils. Its front hooves dug at the ground with all their might, and the lightning on its horns flickered frequently. Dong Xi could not turn around to look, so she asked Ke Xin, ¡°Sister, let¡¯s see if little Senior Sister has run away?¡± Ke Xin turned around and immediately said, ¡°She ran away! She¡¯s above our heads!¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Ke Xin shouted, ¡°Quickly run! The bull is going to use its skills!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s Eight-nine Cultivation Technique circted rapidly. Ke Xin shrieked, then used the pitifully little spiritual Qi in her body to create a thin protective shield for her final struggle. Dong Xi¡¯s little turtle increased its speed to the maximum before the lightning struck, and they dodged it by a hair¡¯s breadth. A tree beside them was struck by lightning and turned ck. They looked at the tree with lingering fear. Chi Yan, who had been flying above them, turned back into his human form. She stood beside a tree and took out a spiritual talisman. She injected some spiritual Qi into it and threw it at the Brass Bull, shouting, ¡°Sacrifice!¡± Seeing Chi Yan¡¯s action, Dong Xi immediately turned to look at the Brass Bull. The spiritual talisman turned into a golden cage and trapped the Brass Bull firmly. The Brass Bull roared and hit the cage. There was a loud bang, but it was still trapped in the cage. Dong Xi finally understood why Chi Yan had asked them to run first. As the Young Master of the me Bird n, Chi Yan was naturally a trump card. Chi Yan heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said, ¡°Let¡¯s run quickly. I¡¯m afraid this talisman won¡¯tst long. Let¡¯s go to the pce in the middle. There¡¯s a formation there, so the demon beasts outside can¡¯t get in.¡± Dong Xi nodded. She changed the turtle he used to escape to a leaf and put away the tree that had been struck by lightning. No matter what, this was still considered a piece of wood struck by lightning. One day, she would be able to use it. Ke Xin saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions and asked Chi Yan, ¡°Little Senior Sister, didn¡¯t you say that the Secret Realm was cleared a long time ago? Why are there still tier 3 demon beasts?¡± Chi Yannded on the edge of the leaf and said indifferently, ¡°He might have broken through. I¡¯ll report this to the sect when I get back.¡± Since there were already tier 3 demon beasts, it was not safe for these new disciples toe in for the trial. The three of them saw the sword sect disciples who had just run out, but the Talisman Sect disciple had disappeared. They wondered if he had used the sect¡¯s teleportation talisman. At that moment, the Sword Sect disciples were facing off against a Soul-snatching Bee. Ke Xin said angrily, ¡°Hmph, we were kind enough to help them escape, but they actually abandoned us.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have to seek revenge,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s always karma for what you do outside.¡± This time, the three of them did not care anymore. After all, the disciples all had the sect¡¯s teleportation talismans. If they could not win, they could always escape. Especially for such a person, he was not worth the three of them saving him. After flying for more than two hours, they finally left the forest. An ancient and solemn pce appeared. The entire pce was made of white stone, and only the northeast corner remained the same. ¡°This pce is different from the ones we¡¯ve seen before!¡± Ke Xin said happily. Dong Xi quickly epted it. In her previous life, Dong Xi had seen many of such buildings, and it had a western feel to it. ¡°It seems that this Secret Realm doesn¡¯t belong to the Eastern Continent,¡± Dong Xi guessed. The little leaf flew to the pce and fell to the ground uncontrobly. Only then did Dong Xi realize that flying was prohibited here. Dong Xi used her spiritual Qi to protect herself and slowly descended. Many disciples had already gathered near the pce. After all, this was the only building here. Perhaps there were some treasures that had not been discovered before? Chapter 118 - 118 Meeting Chen Farong Again 118 Meeting Chen Farong Again Seeing that someone hade over, everyone looked around but did not show any emotion. This was because there really wasn¡¯t any treasure left in this pce. Dong Xi and the other two put away their spirit tools and walked into the pce. Dong Xi looked around and saw that any random stone here was much taller than them. ¡°Dong Xi!¡± Chen Farong shouted. When Dong Xi heard someone shout, she looked up and saw a familiar figure standing on the stone steps, waving her hand vigorously. This person was Dong Xi¡¯s neighbor, Chen Farong. Chen Farong had arrived here more than two hours earlier than the three of them. Now that he had met someone familiar, Chen Farong ran over happily. ¡°You¡¯re all here. What a coincidence,¡± Chen Farong said. Dong Xi also greeted her. Chen Farong continued, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for your influence, I probably wouldn¡¯t have reached the second level of the Qi Refinement stage and wouldn¡¯t have been able to enter this Secret Realm!¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re willing to work hard. I don¡¯t want the credit.¡± The reason why Dong Xi cultivated at night was that it was faster to cultivate under the moon at night. It was as simple as that. Chen Farong was somewhat grateful for Dong Xi¡¯s encouragement. Chen Farong whispered, ¡°I¡¯ve been here for more than two hours. I¡¯ve searched the entire pce, even the ruins, but there¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°Thank you for telling me, Senior Sister,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°You guys just arrived,¡± Chen Farong said with a smile. ¡°You still need to walk around. I¡¯ll be leaving.¡± Watching Chen Farong leave, Dong Xi looked at Chi Yan and Ke Xin. She asked, ¡°Do you still want to walk around?¡± Ke Xin did not even think about it and said, ¡°Since we¡¯re already here, why would we leave if we don¡¯t see it for ourselves?¡± Dong Xi looked at Chi Yan, and Chi Yan nodded. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Opportunities can only be found if there¡¯s fate. Let¡¯s also take a walk. We¡¯ll meet here in a while.¡± The three of them separated. Dong Xi¡¯s Eight-nine Cultivation Technique was activated, as if guiding her to a ruin. The ruins were supposed to be a garden. The white pavilion had been destroyed, and the roof was gone. Only a few pirs were left, and they were also broken. It looked as if it had been cut by a knife. Dong Xi stood there and discovered that the murals on the pirs had been exposed to the wind and sun for who knew how long. They had already fallen off, and the crystals that should have been embedded in them had long since been taken away. All that was left was this pile of ruins, but why did Dong Xi want to stay here? Dong Xi stepped over the pir, pushed away the fallen leaves, and saw a fountain. Dong Xi took a look and saw nothing. Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to have tripped over something. Dong Xi lowered her head to take a look and realized that it was a statue. It had originally been in a fountain. Dong Xi looked at the statue and thought of putting it in the pond in her cave abode. It did not seem too bad! Dong Xi picked up the statue and looked around. There was nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary stone. She casually threw it into her storage ring. Little did she know that the statue just happened to hit the spirit stone in her storage ring. Dong Xi strolled around the garden, and anything that should have been used had been taken away by the previous people. Dong Xi sighed. However, just as he was about to leave, her Eight-nine Cultivation Technique once again became somewhat strange. What exactly is going on... Dong Xi was a little irritated. She wanted nothing more than for the cultivation method tomunicate and tell her, what was it hinting at? Dong Xi directly sat cross-legged in the middle of the pavilion, throwing away all distracting thoughts and seriously feeling every trace of strangeness in his heart. What exactly was it? After a while, Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked at the pirs in front of her. It was no different from an ordinary stone. Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and sent a few spiritual auras over. This time, one of the pirs moved, as if it was stuck. Two white lights shed, and then the light stabilized. A ray of light stopped in front of her. There were two people in the image, a man and a woman. They both had golden hair and blue eyes. The pavilion in the image was intact. Dong Xi thought for a moment and understood that this pir was made of a photostone. Dong Xi was sitting here alone, surrounded by dense leaves, watching a film. In the image, the man and woman were cuddling intimately. Then, a group of people in armor suddenly appeared and surrounded them, ruining what was going to happen next. The woman in the video was frightened and protected the man behind her. A middle-aged woman appeared. No one knew what she was saying. Then, they started quarreling. The pretty girl suddenly started chanting some incantations. A huge fire dragon slowly appeared behind her. Even though it was recorded by a photostone, it still shocked Dong Xi. The mes that filled the sky seemed to set the sky aze. The fire dragon roared toward the sky, and a huge fireball descended from the sky! Chapter 119 - 119 Cool Moves 119 Cool Moves Seeing the fireball falling from the sky, Dong Xi could not help but say with wide eyes, ¡°What the hell is this chant?!¡± Dong Xi carefully looked at the girl¡¯s mouth in the image, wanting to see what she was saying. However, the fire dragon in the image directly charged toward Dong Xi. Dong Xi rolled back instinctively and found that the fire dragon had passed through her and was rushing toward the people behind her. The middle-aged woman raised her hand and a water-type protective barrier appeared, protecting everyone. It was only when the fire dragon disappeared that the protective barrier was retracted and she ordered people to capture the man. However, she did not expect the man to put a dagger against the beautiful girl¡¯s neck directly. The pretty girl¡¯s eyes were heartbreaking. The scenepletely disappeared at this point. Dong Xi was a little dissatisfied. This romantic film was not outdated at all, and it was so melodramatic! However, Dong Xi was very interested in the fire dragon. It was a particrly cool move. If she could learn it, she would have a ce on the Eastern Continent¡¯s Celebrity List in the future! Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then raised her hand and patted the pir. She could not read it clearly, so she decided to take it back and read it slowly. It was just a mantra. She would learn it sooner orter after watching the movie a few more times. Dong Xi put away the pir, and the sense of guidance in his heart disappeared. Dong Xi could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed that this Eight-nine Cultivation Technique was not anything good. She would not leave when he encountered a small movie. No matter what, she did note here in vain. She picked up arge photostone and a frog statue. She could bring them back to decorate her cave. Dong Xi nced around again and used the Eight-nine Cultivation Technique to make sure that there was nothing left. then, he turned around and left for the ce where the three of them had agreed to meet. When Dong Xi went over, Ke Xin and Chi Yan were already waiting for her. ¡°How is it?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Did you all get anything?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing left.¡± Ke Xin shook her head. ¡°What did you find? ¡± ¡°I picked up a few stones and went back to make a scene for the pond,¡± Dong Xi shrugged and said. The two of them looked at Chi Yan and Chi Yan said, ¡°There should be nothing here. Why don¡¯t we go outside and take a look? Maybe we can find some treasures.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Ke Xin said. ¡°There are still three days. If we can find more treasures, we can go back and do fewer missions.¡± The three of them decided and left. Three dayster, thunderous rumbles came from the sky. Dong Xi stopped practicing her swordsmanship and looked up at the sky. The sky started to blur, and the clouds and the moon twisted together. Dong Xi knew that they were about to leave the Secret Realm, so she immediately woke up the two sisters who were meditating. ¡°Little Senior Sister, Ke Xin, wake up. We¡¯re going out soon!¡± Dong Xi said. Chi Yan and Ke Xin opened their eyes. They saw that Dong Xi was also beginning to fade. Ke Xin quickly took out her Snuff Bottle and took a puff before the three of them were teleported out. Ke Xin opened her eyes again, still holding a Snuff Bottle in her hand. When she came back to her senses, she immediately took two puffs. Dong Xi was not feeling very well either. It was as if she had just drunk a pound of white wine, and her entire body felt light. Ke Xin immediately handed the Snuff Bottle to Dong Xi. She took a puff and it really did get to her head. Suddenly, she heard amotion. Liang Yan resigned himself to his fate and exited his cultivation state. He nced at the new disciples and saw that most of them had alreadye out. It was normal for less than five of them to die. This way, he would be able to exin himself when he returned. Liang Yan took out his spirit boat again and brought the new disciples back. When Dong Xi arrived at the sect, she immediately returned to his Immortal¡¯s cave. When she arrived, she activated the restriction and acted as if she did not want to be disturbed. Song Qingfeng¡¯s messages were also all silent. He sighed, wondering when this little girl would remember to do the 60-year alchemy task. Dong Xi entered her Immortal¡¯s cave and cast a cleaning spell. Then, she released Songsong from the jade pendant. At this moment, Songsong had fallen into a deep sleep. Dong Xi instilled spiritual Qi into her and circted it once. She was relieved to find that Songsong was fine. Songsong was toyed with by her. It woke up and stared with its big ck eyes for a long time before it recognized Dong Xi. Songsong happily hugged Dong Xi¡¯s wrist and wagged its tail. It said cheerfully, ¡°Xiaoxi! You finally let me out! I¡¯ve already slept for a few nights!¡± ¡°They¡¯ve alreadye out of the Secret Realm,¡± said Dong Xi with a nod. When Songsong heard that they were not in the Secret Realm, it was so happy that it wanted to go out. However, Dong Xi warned, ¡°I need to go into seclusion for the next two days. You can y in the courtyard and don¡¯t go out. If you get caught, I won¡¯t be able to save you.¡± ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll listen to you. I won¡¯t run around!¡± said Songsong obediently. ¡°Xiaoxi, don¡¯t worry!¡± Chapter 120 - 120 Where Did the Spirit Stones Go? 120 Where Did the Spirit Stones Go? Seeing that Songsong was so obedient, Dong Xi opened the stone door and let Songsong go to the courtyard. When the stone door closed again, Dong Xi took out her storage ring and tapped on the items she had obtained from the Secret Realm. It would have been better if she did not take a look, but she was instantly stunned. Dong Xi discovered that the spirit stones in her ring were gone! Such arge quantity of high-rank spirit stones were gone? Where did the spirit stones go? Dong Xi thought it was covered by something, so she poured out everything in the ring and searched carefully, but there was nothing. !! Dong Xi carefully recalled. Did she identally lose something when she was taking it? But that did not make sense either. The storage ring had always been used as one pleased and would only take out what one needed. Why would it be thrown away? Just as Dong Xi was in a state of confusion, she saw the frog statue at the side and was instantly stunned. Eh? What was happening? Dong Xi held the statue and looked at it carefully. She muttered to himself, ¡°This stupid frog, why is it getting greener?¡± It clearly did not look like this when she picked it up! The two things were quickly linked together. Dong Xi used her spiritual power to scan the statue but did not see anything. Dong Xi was furious. She directly flicked the frog¡¯s mouth toward the ground, but there was still nothing. ¡°What the hell are you?!¡± Dong Xi angrily said. ¡°Hurry up and return my spirit stones to me!¡± However, the frog was like a dead object, not moving at all. Dong Xi angrily threw the frog to the side and was angry for a long time. In the end, she thought of something and threw a low-grade spirit stone into the frog¡¯s mouth. She gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You¡¯ve eaten some spirit stones, so it better be useful! Otherwise, I¡¯ll refine you into a pill!¡± He did not know if the warning was effective or if it was because the frog had eaten the spirit stone, but a white light shed on the frog¡¯s body. When Dong Xi looked again, she saw that the frog had spat out a seed. That¡¯s right, a green seed. Dong Xi picked up the seed and looked at it carefully, but she could not tell what it was. After thinking for a long time, since she did not know anything, he would just nt it and wait for it to grow out. Dong Xi immediately took out four spirit stones and fed them to the frog. The frog spat out the seeds just like before. Based on Dong Xi¡¯s experience and observations, these seeds were all different. It seemed like they had been given randomly. Dong Xi marked out a piece ofnd in the corner of the courtyard for experimental use. It was best if the things that grew out were worth it. Otherwise, she would definitely throw that broken frog into the alchemy furnace! in order to increase the survival rate of the seeds, Dong Xi used wood spiritual energy to nurture the seeds for a long time. After finishing everything, Dong Xi returned to the room and studied the image in the pir. It was lonely to watch a movie alone, but it was a different story when it came to studying. Dong Xi watched it over and over again, imitating the shape of her mouth. Because there was no pause or rewind function, Dong Xi could only watch it again and again. When Dong Xi closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the movement movies. She subconsciously imitated the shape of his mouth. After a long time, she finally managed to imitate the obscure sound. A faint fire appeared behind Dong Xi. it was a sess! Dong Xi opened her eyes and a glint shed. She looked up and let out a long howl, feeling very delighted! Dong Xi could not help but praise herself. I¡¯m really a genius! Hahaha! She cast a cleaning spell andbed her hair, nning to go to the Mission Hall to exchange some points for a Fasting Pill. Along the way, she would exchange all the treasures she had obtained in the Secret Realm for points. As soon as Dong Xi left the room, Songsong jumped down from the roof andnded on her head. ¡°Xiaoxi, you¡¯re finally out!¡± Said Songsong happily. Dong Xi removed the tail from her face and said to Songsong, ¡°Did you cause any trouble during my seclusion?¡± Songsong jumped up from Dong Xi¡¯s head, puffed out her chest, and said proudly, ¡°Of course not! I¡¯ll help you water them! Even the seeds have be tall!¡± Unfortunately, Dong Xi could not see it. Dong Xi then remembered the seed she had nted before and immediately said, ¡°Oh, really? Have the seeds gotten taller? I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Dong Xi immediately went to the experimental area and saw five saplings. How tall were they? They had indeed survived. ¡°How many days will have I been in seclusion?¡± Dong Xi asked after pondering for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s been dark 68 times!¡± Songsong said after some thought. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, ¡°Two months? That long?¡± Dong Xi sighed with emotion that time was scarce in Immortal cultivation. At the same time, he took out a jade slip and looked at the news square to see if he had missed any important news. As soon as she took out the Jade slip, the messages on it bombarded her. This time, besides the sister Ke Xin, there was also Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng. Chapter 121 - 121 Is There a Possibility 121 Is There a Possibility a lot of information came from Dong Xi¡¯s jade slip. [Little Daoist Nun, did you forget something?] [Did you disappear again?] [Little Daoist Nun, the sect is starting to rush you. Where are the medicinal pills? Didn¡¯t you agree to do it?] ¡­ Dong Xi was a little speechless. She had been wondering what had happened, but it turned out that the creditors hade to collect their debts. Not only was it her Senior Brother¡¯s 60 years, but Dong Xi was also in debt for another two months. Dong Xi took a deep breath, and after exchanging her points, she began to refine pills. Up until now, Dong Xi, as a pill cultivator, had yet to refine a pill. After settling the matter at the hall of missions, Dong Xi went straight to the alchemy room. Before entering, she specially reviewed the instructions for alchemy twice at the door. Then, he took ten sets of medicinal materials and walked into the alchemy room. Now that he was at the fourth level of Qi Refinement, she should be able to refine ten medicinal ingredients once, right? However, reality was always cruel. Even if Dong Xi¡¯s theory was excellent, she did not know where she had gone wrong. The instant the pill was formed, the furnace exploded. One or two times was still eptable, but after the third furnace explosion, Dong Xi gave up on refining by herself. He took out the jade slip and sent a message to song Qingfeng. [Senior Brother, is there a possibility that I don¡¯t have any talent in alchemy at all?] Song Qingfeng quickly replied. [What do you mean? You want to renege on your debt?] Dong Xi also replied. [I¡¯ve started refining pills today. So far, three furnaces have exploded, and I have no harvest!] Song Qingfeng couldn¡¯t believe it when he saw the message. [Furnace exploded? Y-you¡¯re amazing! If the furnace explodes, you will have to pay spirit stones!] Dong Xi smiled before sending the message. [That¡¯s right, that¡¯s why I¡¯m here to find Senior Brother! Senior Brother, hurry up and save me. If this continues, Junior Sister will use herself to pay for her debt.] Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s message and was speechless. He could only send messages. [Wait for me there!] Dong Xi sat cross-legged in the alchemy room, thinking about the actions and steps she had taken to refine the pill. She began to doubt her life. The furnace should not have exploded! All the steps had been done ording to the contents of the book. How did it be like this? No matter what, the most she could do was not form the pill. How could the furnace explode? What was the problem? Song Qingfeng was also worried that Dong Xi would owe more spirit stones, so he rushed over. When he pushed the door open, Song Qingfeng saw the room was in a mess and there was a dark little girl. It was really embarrassing. ¡°Junior Sister,¡± Song Qingfeng said helplessly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a little too cruel?¡± Dong Xi shrugged and said with a helpless expression, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it either. all the steps were ording to the book. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong.¡± Song Qingfeng sighed and said to the person in charge of the pill room, ¡°Help my Junior Sister change a room. The Feng Shui here is probably not good.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately raised her head and said, ¡°That¡¯s right! Why didn¡¯t I think of that before?¡± Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi in disdain and said lightly, ¡°Change rooms. You can continue with your alchemy. I¡¯ll see what the problem is.¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng and was very touched. Perhaps no one would believe it, but after entering the sect for so long, Dong Xi was finally not a free-range pet! In the past, it was said that the Master led the way, but the cultivation was up to the individual. But what about Dong Xi? After bing Master¡¯s disciple, Master had been in seclusion for almost a year¡­ She did not get to see him very much. ¡°Thank you for taking care of me, Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi said with a genuine expression. The location of the new alchemy room was very good. It sat in the north and faced the south. There was an alchemy furnace in the room, which was the work of a disciple of the equipment refining sect. Dong Xi first cast a cleaning spell on herself, then bowed in all directions. She looked up and saw a pair of hands in front of her, holding an incense stick. Dong Xi was stunned. She looked up and saw a face that was asking for a beating. Song Qingfeng said lightly, ¡°You¡¯re so unlucky, and you think you solve it by just bowing a few times like this? Be more sincere and light the incense.¡± Song Qingfeng had seen through Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts. She bit her lip and took the incense stick with a cold face. With a wave of her hand, the incense stick was lit, and then she bowed in all directions. After Dong Xi finished paying her respects, she looked up and saw Song Qingfeng¡¯s thoughtful expression. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Junior Sister, what kind of God are you worshiping?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s expression was calm as he lightly said, ¡°Heavenly Dao!¡± Song Qingfeng was stunned at first, then he said meaningfully, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re really gutsy.¡± Dong Xi did not understand what he meant. She waved her hand and the incense in her hand burned out. ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m ready. Shall we start now?¡± Dong Xi said. Song Qingfeng found a corner that was furthest away from Dong Xi and sat down, then said lightly, ¡°Then, let¡¯s start refining the pill now!¡± Chapter 122 - 122 Do You Want to Do It Again? 122 Do You Want to Do It Again? Dong Xi began to refine the pill ording to the normal steps, including removing the impurities. She did a good job until she raised the me and fused the liquid. ¡°Bang!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s expression did not change. She wasn¡¯t surprised at all. This was already the fourth time her furnace had exploded today. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng and found that he had made a protective shield for himself. The room was full of dust, and only his surroundings were clean. ¡°Sigh!¡± Dong Xi let out a light sigh and asked in confusion, ¡°Senior Brother, did you find anything?¡± If he could find the problem, the explosion of the pill furnace this time would be worth it. But Song Qingfeng coughed and said slowly, ¡°I didn¡¯t see it clearly either. How about we try again?¡± Dong Xi suddenly wanted to fly into a rage. If this continued, she would probably be able to write a sequel to ¡®Furnace Explosion Experience Summary¡¯. ¡°Senior Brother, are you not good enough?¡± asked Dong Xi doubtfully. ¡°Why don¡¯t I call Eldest Senior Brother over?¡± Although Dong Xi had some psychological trauma when facing her Eldest Senior Brother, he was different from back then. Dong Xi thought that she should not be too quick to judge. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Song Qingfeng¡¯s face suddenly became serious, ¡°Continue! If your furnace explodes again, Senior Brother will pay for it!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately revealed a smile. Dong Xi was not a materialistic person, but if anyone mentioned material things, Dong Xi wouldpromise reluctantly. Dong Xi asked someone to bring her a new pill furnace. Song Qingfeng used a cleaning spell and the room was cleaned. Dong Xi once again sat in front of the pill furnace, and this time Song Qingfeng sat directly next to her. ¡°Junior Sister, do you need to worship the heavenly Dao this time?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. Dong Xi shook her head and did not dare to speak without thinking. She said, ¡°Maybe the heavenly Dao is very busy right now and can¡¯t take care of such a small matter like me. Let¡¯s figure it out ourselves and not trouble the heavenly Dao.¡± With a smile, Song Qingfeng hit Dong Xi¡¯s head with his folding fan and said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be talkative, hurry up and refine the pill! I¡¯ll let you know today that your second Senior Brother is the best! Even Eldest Senior Brother can¡¯tpare to your Second Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi rubbed her head and asked with an innocent look, ¡°Not even Master?¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s face suddenly became serious and he said sternly, ¡°Hurry up and refine the pill!¡± Dong Xi sat down with a pitiful expression and took out a set of medicinal herbs from her storage ring. She continued to repeat every action she had done, this time with extreme caution. However, just like before, the fusion continued, and the furnace was on the verge of exploding. Dong Xi was already experienced and immediately covered herself with a protective shield. But this time, Song Qingfeng immediately injected some spiritual energy into the furnace. The furnace shook and became a silent bomb. When the furnace stabilized. Dong Xi immediately cast a spell and opened the lid of the furnace. A burning smell came out. Dong Xi fanned himself and made a hand seal. She turned her head and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, do you understand the problem?¡± Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi, who was a little confused. However, Dong Xi dared to say that if Song Qingfeng asked her to refine another furnace, she would immediatelyin to her Master! Song Qingfeng did not let Dong Xi down. He said lightly, ¡°I¡¯ve found the reason,¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes immediately lit up and he immediately asked, ¡°What is it? Senior Brother, please enlighten Junior Sister!¡± Song Qingfeng did not say much. He took out an alchemy furnace from his storage ring and ced it in front of Dong Xi. ¡°Use this to refine pills!¡± Dong Xi looked at the pill furnace in front of her. The luster and patterns on it made Dong Xi a little afraid to use it. Song Qingfeng saw that Dong Xi did not move, so he immediately urged, ¡°What are you doing? Start!¡± ¡°S-Senior Brother, what if I a-identally blow up this furnace?¡± Dong Xi stuttered. ¡°Junior Sister is really poor now, I can¡¯t afford it!¡± Hearing this, Song Qingfeng smiled disdainfully. He waved the folding fan in his hand and said slowly, ¡°If this furnace can also explode, then you don¡¯t need to be a pill cultivator. You can just be a seal cultivator. The power will definitely be very great!¡± Dong Xi knew that Song Qingfeng was just teasing her, but his words made her feel at ease. Dong Xi closed her eyes and calmed her heart. She cast a spell, and an endless breath flowed out of the alchemy furnace. Dong Xi was not an idiot. He could tell that this alchemy furnace was not ordinary! Perhaps, now that she¡¯s using this special alchemy furnace, she would seed? Although Dong Xi was also a little puzzled, she did not stop her movements. Chapter 123 - 123 Success 123 Sess The furnace had exploded a few times before, so Dong Xi¡¯s technique of refining medicinal ingredients was particrly skilled at this time. By the time all the herbs had turned into liquid and fused, Dong Xi suddenly had a premonition. This time, there should not be any problems with the pill refining. Dong Xi¡¯s spirit Qi spread inside the pill furnace and carefully wrapped around the liquid. The spiritual Qi was like a hand, slowly holding all the liquid together. Dong Xi focused his attention on sensing the state of the medicinal liquid. Finally, all the medicinal liquids began to show signs of fusion under the drive of the magic spell. Dong Xi was immediately overjoyed, and her movements became even more careful. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Dong Xi¡¯s hand gesture changed, and she even seemed a little excited. Finally! She finally used the pill formation technique! At this point, the sess rate had reached 99 percent. Even if it failed, the iplete pill would still be effective. Song Qingfeng, who had been paying attention to Dong Xi, also let out a sigh of relief and smiled. That¡¯s right, as Song Qingfeng¡¯s Junior Sister, how could she not have any talent in alchemy? It wasn¡¯t that Dong Xi¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t good, it was just that his talent was too good. Dong Xi¡¯s hand movements became faster and faster. It was not until thest spell was cast that the temperature of the alchemy furnace slowly dropped. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng and said excitedly, ¡°Senior Brother! Did I seed?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Song Qingfeng nodded and said. ¡°Open it now!¡± Dong Xi sat on the spot and didn¡¯t move for a long time. Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi in surprise and saw a thinyer of sweat on her forehead. ¡°Is it sessful?¡± Song Qingfeng asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Dong Xi rubbed her hands and nervously said, ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m nervous. Why don¡¯t you help me open it?¡± Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± Song Qingfeng waved his folding fan, and the lid of the furnace flew up. He said, ¡°Look at you, is this all you¡¯ve got?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the fragrance of pills filled the room. Song Qingfeng was stunned. He immediately stood up and waved his hand to take out the pill from the furnace. There were a total of nine pills, and each of them had dark golden patterns. They were all high-grade. Song Qingfeng turned his head to look at Dong Xi, who was looking at him with a worried expression. Dong Xi saw Song Qingfeng¡¯s expression and asked nervously, ¡°Second Senior Brother, don¡¯t tell me¡­¡± Hearing this, Song Qingfeng did not know what to say. Back then, Song Qingfeng was also a genius, but he produced five mid-grade pills in his first furnace. Dong Xi became even more nervous when he saw Song Qingfeng¡¯s expression of wanting to say something but not saying it. How did this happen? There was already a pill fragrance! Dong Xi really wanted to know the result, so she stood up and ran to Song Qingfeng¡¯s side, taking the pill from his hand. Seeing the pill, she turned to Song Qingfeng with excitement in her eyes and said, ¡°Ah! Senior Brother! All nine of them are high-grade!¡± At this moment, Song Qingfeng put away hisplicated feelings, opened his folding fan with a calm expression, and said lightly, ¡°Very good!¡± Dong Xi took out a porcin bottle that she had prepared in advance and put the nine high-grade medicinal pills in it. She said without the slightest modesty, ¡°I¡¯m really amazing!¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s self-praise, Song Qingfeng smiled and said, ¡°Not bad. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll rent the alchemy furnace to you.¡± Hearing this, Dong Xi stoppedughing and looked at Song Qingfeng in disbelief. Dong Xi said, ¡°What? rent? Senior Brother, aren¡¯t we close?¡± Song Qingfeng looked at the little girl in front of him. It was probably because she had a lot of debts that she could not be tough. ¡°Not at all,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°Someone once said that I don¡¯t deserve a reward!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± She had dug a huge pit for herself. No matter what, she was the one who said it. Dong Xi lowered her head and asked in a low voice, ¡°How much do you want for the rent?¡± Song Qingfeng waved the folding fan in his hand and a smile appeared on his face. He said, ¡°I don¡¯t want much. Every time you form a pill, give me one. If it doesn¡¯t work, then forget it.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s tone immediately rose as she said in surprise, ¡°What? One pill? Senior Brother, are you a loan shark?! Even loan sharks don¡¯t do this!¡± ¡°Junior Sister, think about it,¡± Song Qingfeng said lightly. ¡°All the other furnaces would explode if you used them. Only my furnace is fine. If you seed, won¡¯t this furnace also have some credit?¡± Hearing Song Qingfeng¡¯s words, Dong Xi felt that he was right. Song Qingfeng paid attention to Dong Xi¡¯s expression. Seeing the change in Dong Xi¡¯s expression, he continued with a smile, ¡°Junior Sister, there¡¯s no need to be anxious. Think about it before you make a decision!¡± Chapter 124 - 124 The Most Miserable Alchemist 124 The Most Miserable Alchemist Then, Song Qingfeng put away the alchemy furnace and turned around to leave. Seeing that Song Qingfeng was about to leave, Dong Xi immediately shouted, ¡°Senior Brother! Yes! I¡¯ll rent it!¡± There was probably no other alchemist in the cultivation world who was more miserable than Dong Xi. Every time she seeded in refining a pill, one of them would go to Second Senior Brother! Song Qingfeng was not surprised at Dong Xi¡¯s words. He put down the pill furnace with a smile and said, ¡°Since Junior Sister wants to rent it so much, then my pill furnace will stay with you.¡± Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s defeated face, Song Qingfeng turned around and left with a smile. After Song Qingfeng left, Dong Xi was left alone in the alchemy room. Dong Xi looked at the pill furnace in front of her and began to think. it was said that a perfect furnace of pills had exactly ten pills, but there were only nine in the furnace just now. If she could make ten pills, one of them would be given to Second Brother. As she thought about it, she suddenly realized that she did not feel so distressed anymore! Dong Xi touched the jade pendant on her neck and took out the furnace explosion experience book from the medium. Dong Xi was now studying more and looking more to see where she needed to improve. One day, she would be able to make a perfect batch! ording to the book, Dong Xi had sorted out three main points: The first was to ensure that the impurities of the medicine werepletely removed, leaving only the pure medicine. Any impurities could lead to the final failure. The second was that the order in which the ingredients were mixed together during the process of congealing the pill also had some influence. The third and most important point was that the pill formation technique had to be fast. If it was slow, it would affect the sess rate of the pill formationter on! After Dong Xi concluded, she sat on the ground and began to practice the hand seal technique. When her hand speed was very fast, Dong Xi slowly opened her eyes and began to refine the pill again. Song Qingfeng came out of the alchemy room and went straight to his master¡¯s cave. His master had been in seclusion for a few days, and he did not know when he woulde out. When he realized that his master had note out, he could only leave behind a voice transmission talisman and turn to leave. When Dong Xi had been in the alchemy room for a whole month, Master Lingxu hade out of seclusion. During his seclusion, he hadprehended an ancient medicinal form. In ancient times, this ce was filled with spiritual energy, and people¡¯s cultivation improved very quickly. At that time, it was truly a ce where hundreds of flowers bloomed. Many people with special abilities had created cultivation techniques. This time, what Lingxuprehended was the medicinal form that had been passed down to this day from that time. At that time, in order to be able to increase their cultivation faster, people wanted to hide the bad spirit roots and only focus on the best spirit roots. This way, they could avoid being distracted during cultivation, and it was also a kind of cultivation method. This method was called the Spirit-Concealing Pill. Master Lingxu clicked his tongue in wonder. The thoughts of the people of ancient times were really strange! Lingxu stretchedzily. He thought of the two disciples he had taken in previously, and wondered how they were doing now. Lingxu sensed the voice transmission talisman at the door. He waved his hand to open the restriction and put the voice transmission talisman away. The voice transmission talisman was ced in front of Lingxu, and it started to burn. Song Qingfeng¡¯s voice followed, ¡°Master, Little Junior Sister has already started to refine pills, but there was a small ident. When youe out of seclusion, I will exin in detail.¡± When Lingxu heard that something was wrong with Dong Xi, he immediately made a hand seal and asked Song Qingfeng toe over. Song Qingfeng was summoned by his master. He did not cultivate and rushed to his master¡¯s cave. Song Qingfeng arrived at his master¡¯s cave and shouted, ¡°Master!¡± Before he bowed, Master Lingxu directly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Dong Xi? I handed her over to you, how did you take care of her?¡± Song Qingfeng immediately bowed and exined, ¡°Master, this isn¡¯t bad. We¡¯ve probably all underestimated Little Junior Sister¡¯s talent!¡± When Master Lingxu heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he calmed down and asked, ¡°What? what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Little Junior Sister started refining pills a month ago, and she blew up five furnaces in a row!¡± Song Qingfeng said. Master Lingxu¡¯s expression turned serious when he heard this. Ordinary disciples might not seed in refining pills, but it was still very difficult to cause the furnace to explode. ¡°But the equipment refining sect only gave inferior products?¡± Lingxu asked. Song Qingfeng shook his head and said, ¡°No, it¡¯s because her fire spiritual essence is special. ording to my observation, although her fire attribute is not high, the temperature is very high. Ordinary elixir furnaces can¡¯t withstand it.¡± The high temperature of the fire spiritual energy was a good thing for alchemists. Some medicinal materials had a very high melting point. If the temperature was not high enough, they would need to rely on external help. It was good if some could borrow external forces, but if they couldn¡¯t, they could only watch and couldn¡¯t do anything. There were many limitations. Chapter 125 - 125 Physique Related 125 Physique Rted Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the fire spiritual energy was equivalent to the spiritual root value. The higher the spiritual root value, the higher the temperature. Song Qingfeng¡¯s root value had reached 91 points, but her furnace did not explode when she was refining pills. However, Dong Xi¡¯s furnace exploded when she was only in her 70s? The master and disciple were also very confused. Master Lingxu had a faint guess in his heart that perhaps this was rted to Dong Xi¡¯s physique. Thinking of this, Lingxu felt relieved and said with a smile, ¡°This is considered a good thing, right? This means that this little disciple was born to be an alchemist!¡± Song Qingfeng also agreed with his master. Song Qingfeng continued, ¡°Master, I lent the Heavenly Mountain Cauldron to Junior Sister. Can you guess how many pills she made in the first batch? What grade did she make?¡± After thinking for a moment, Master Lingxu said indifferently, ¡°Little Disciple¡¯s talent is very good. I think there should be at least seven, right?¡± Song Qingfeng shook his head, and Master Lingxu asked, ¡°How many?¡± ¡°Nine in total!¡± Song Qingfeng said lightly. when Master Lingxu heard this, he instantly sucked in a cold breath and asked in disbelief, ¡°What? Did you say nine?¡± Song Qingfeng saw his master¡¯s shock and nodded, ¡°And they¡¯re all high-grade ones!¡± Master Lingxu¡¯s originally dormant heart waspletely awakened as well. He said loudly, ¡°What? All nine of them are high-grade?¡± Song Qingfeng nodded and said seriously, ¡°That¡¯s right, when Little Junior Sister was refining the pills, this disciple was on the side and personally watched.¡± Master Lingxu was silent. He was thinking about the treasures he had collected over the past few hundred years, trying to see which one was suitable to give to his talented little disciple. It was Lingxu¡¯s good fortune to have such a disciple! However, in Song Qingfeng¡¯s eyes, Lingxu¡¯s expression looked like his master was questioning him. Song Qingfeng continued, ¡°Master, Little Junior Sister is currently in seclusion in the alchemy room. Do you want to go and take a look?¡± As soon as Song Qingfeng finished speaking, the master in front of him disappeared. At this moment, Dong Xi had already turned into a pill refining machine. Her movements were bing more and more skilled, and she could basically not waste a single bit of spiritual Qi. For the past month, she had been refining pills day and night. She hadpleted the task that he owed Second Senior Brother for 60 years. Now, the lines on the pills were clear. Each pill was of the best quality, and he guaranteed ten pills each time! If this sess rate was spread out, who would believe that Dong Xi was just a neer who had only started refining pills for a month? Dong Xi cast a spell and then ate a spirit replenishing pill to recover her spirit Qi. At this moment, the space in front of them suddenly distorted, and Master Lingxu appeared. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment before she suddenly remembered that this was her master! She almost did not recognize him! Dong Xi immediately stood up and saluted. She respectfully said, ¡°Disciple Dong Xi greets Master!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s body seemed to be lifted up by something. Lingxu said, ¡°there¡¯s no need to bow.¡± As he said this, Lingxu¡¯s divine sense scanned the pill furnace. It was also this nce that made Lingxu even more shocked. Without any guidance, she could refine a perfect batch? This little disciple of his was indeed very talented! After that, Lingxu saw a piece of paper filled with words beside Dong Xi. Ling Xi curiously picked up the paper and unfolded it to take a look. The handwriting was not the best, but the content on it made Lingxu even more shocked. Lingxu could not help but read out, ¡°The three essential factors and ten details to increase sess-rate and quality!¡± Dong Xi said with some embarrassment, ¡°Master, I¡¯m used to jotting down notes. I¡¯ve seen all of this in the books, so I¡¯ve jotted it down.¡± Master Lingxu nodded and passed the paper to Dong Xi. Lingxu said, ¡°Xiaoxi, this is a good habit. Although learning is easy, it¡¯s very difficult to summarize. You¡¯re already better than many cultivators if you have such a mentality.¡± Dong Xi wanted to say that in the 21st century, learning summary was a small skill that every student had to have. Dong Xi smiled. Fortunately, those students had not transmigrated. Otherwise, the cultivation world would have been swept up by these students until they died! ¡°This isn¡¯t a skill, master,¡± said Dong Xi. Master Lingxu thought that Dong Xi was being modest and had a better impression of thisst disciple. Lingxu touched his beard and said with a kind expression, ¡°Xiaoxi, what are the chances of your spirit refilling pill being a perfect batch?¡± ¡°Honored Master, since half a month ago, I have been producing ten top-grade pills in each cauldron!¡± Dong Xi said respectfully. Master Lingxu was shocked and said with relief, ¡°Not bad, not bad at all! Xiaoxi, now that you¡¯re already familiar with refining the Spirit Restore Pills, i think you should learn how to refine other medicinal pills!¡± Chapter 126 - 126 This Disciple Still Have Debts 126 This Disciple Still Have Debts Hearing Master Lingxu¡¯s words, Dong Xi smiled bitterly and looked at him, saying, ¡°Master, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to learn, but I still have debts to pay!¡± When Master Lingxu heard this, he asked in surprise, ¡°Where did the debte from? It¡¯s already been half a month and you still haven¡¯t paid off your due of Spirit Restore Pills?¡± His little disciple had only entered the sect for a little more than a year, so how could she have so much debt? Sighing, Dong Xi exined to Master Lingxu, ¡°Second Senior Brother gave me a flying magic tool before, so I agreed to help him pay off the 60 years of alchemy task he owed the sect. When we started refining pillsst month, Second Senior Brother rented this furnace to me, and I promised to give Senior Brother one pill for every sessful batch as rent.¡± Master Lingxu, ¡°¡­¡± This Song Qingfeng! Sure enough, the richer you are, the stingier you are! He even had to be so calctive with his Junior Sister! ¡°I understand,¡± said Master Lingxu. With that, Lingxu took out a furnace from his storage ring and passed it to Dong Xi. Master Lingxu said, ¡°This alchemy cauldron is for you. Return your Senior Brother¡¯s one to him. We are alchemy grandmasters. Other than having a lot of pills, we also have a lot of alchemy furnaces!¡± Dong Xi looked at the furnace that her master had given her. It was ck and gold in color, and there were many runes on it. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said with some worry, ¡°Master, my spiritual energy seems to be a little different. I blew up five of them before, but what if¡­ this one¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Master Lingxu already understood what she meant. He said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, this is very sturdy, don¡¯t worry!¡± Dong Xi was pleasantly surprised. Her eyes shed with a touch of brilliance and she immediately cupped his fists and said, ¡°Thank you, Master, for your reward! This disciple can not thank you enough!¡± Then, Dong Xi put away Song Qingfeng¡¯s furnace and put away the one her master had given him. She was ready to continue making pills. When Master Lingxu saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, he thought that Dong Xi wanted to try out the feeling first. Thus, he stood at the side and watched. If there was anything wrong, he could give some pointers. However, he did not expect that after Dong Xi finished refining one batch, she would continue to refine the next batch as if there was no one else around. Master Lingxu stood at the side and watched Dong Xi refine five batches of pills. When her spirit Qi was exhausted, she ate a Spirit Restore Pill with great familiarity and then continued to refine. Master Lingxu, who was ignored by Dong Xi, could not help but shout, ¡°Xiaoxi.¡± Only then did Dong Xie back to her senses. She looked at Master Lingxu behind her and seemed to be even more shocked than him. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Why aren¡¯t you leaving yet? It was just that she did not finish her sentence, but Master Lingxu could already tell. ¡°Have you always been refining pills like this?¡± Master Lingxu asked. Dong Xi shook his head. Just as Master Lingxu was about to heave a sigh of relief, he heard Dong Xi say indifferently, ¡°I only do this during the day. There¡¯s moonlight at night, so I still have to cultivate.¡± Master Lingxu, ¡°¡­¡± Th-this was simply the best role model! If the alchemy sect¡¯s disciples were all so diligent, not everyone would have so many debts on them, and the alchemy sect would have long be the richest in the Immortal cultivation world! Although Master Lingxu was shocked, he only gave her two bottles of Fasting Pills and left. As soon as Master Lingxu left, Dong Xi immediately sent a message to Song Qingfeng. [Second Senior Brother, I¡¯ll return the furnace to you. You¡¯re a loan shark, I can¡¯t afford to borrow it!] Song Qingfeng also replied quickly. [Why? The debts have all been settled?] Dong Xi proudly sent a voice message saying, ¡°Master, you¡¯vee to see me and even gave me a furnace. I will never be exploited by you again!¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s proud voice, Song Qingfengughed. This little girl, I wonder where she learned so many new words. Song Qingfeng also sent a voice message, ¡°That¡¯s hard to say.¡± At first, Dong Xi thought that Song Qingfeng was trying to save face, but Song Qingfeng immediately sent a voice message saying, ¡°A squirrel suddenly ran into my cave and bit my spirit nt.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s smug expression instantly disappeared. A thought ran through her mind. Could she pretend not to know this squirrel? Song Qingfeng sent another voice message, breaking Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°I can sense your aura on this squirrel, why is that?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Everyone else would be rich if they worked hard, but why was it that the harder she worked, the more debts she had? Dong Xi sent a voice message with a cold face, ¡°Keep a close eye on her. If she destroys anything, I won¡¯t pay for it.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s heart was bleeding. She had told Songsong not to go out, but now she was in even more debt. Chapter 127 - 127 How Did It Get In? 127 How Did It Get In? With such a thing happening, Dong Xi did not have the mood to continue refining pills. She had already covered about 9 out of the 60 years of pills she owed to her Senior Brother. Dong Xi put away the furnace, walked out of the alchemy room, and flew to Song Qingfeng¡¯s cave on the small leaf. This was also Dong Xi¡¯s first time visiting. There were all kinds of restrictions in front of Song Qingfeng¡¯s cave, so Dong Xi could only send messages at the door. This made Dong Xi even more curious. There were so many restrictions in Second Senior Brother¡¯s ce, so how did Songsong get in? Before Dong Xi could figure it out, the restrictions had already been deactivated. The originally ordinary-looking mountain peak seemed to have its mysterious veil removed. Pavilions, rockery, and flowing water were all revealed. Dong Xi looked at the scenery in front of her and sighed. Wasn¡¯t this the life that people should be living? Inparison to Second Senior Brother¡¯s residence, Dong Xi¡¯s cave abode was clearly a ce where savages lived. Dong Xi was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground as she stepped into the Immortalnd. Dong Xi walked across the small bridge and the flowing water. The koi fish in the water were clustered together, which was very beautiful. Dong Xi wished he had eyes all over his body to see all the beautiful scenery at Second Senior Brother¡¯s ce. Song Qingfeng lived in the pce. As soon as Dong Xi came to the steps, a neon light extended from the pce to Dong Xi. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­.¡± Was this an elevator in the world of cultivators? Dong Xi carefully stepped on it and found that she could actually stand steadily. The neon light slowly took her to the pce. As soon as Dong Xi arrived at the door, he heard a voice from the pce. Song Qingfeng said bitterly, ¡°Junior Sister, Senior Brother has been waiting for a long time!¡± However, when Dong Xi thought about how Songsong had ruined a third-grade spirit nt, her scalp could not help but go numb. At such a young age, she had to bear so many debts and especially wanted to renege on them. Standing at the door, she was hesitating whether to go in or leave. Song Qingfeng seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re not thinking of running away are you?¡± His words were spot on. However, thinking that even if she were to escape now, she would still have to return to her Immortal¡¯s cave. She heaved a sigh and gritted her teeth before entering the pce. Song Qingfeng was wearing white clothes made of unknown material. The clothes seemed to be glowing, and with his face, he looked like a fairy. There was a squirrel on Song Qingfeng¡¯s leg. Dong Xi was a little nervous when she saw it. She immediately asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Songsong?¡± Dong Xi and Songsong had signed a master-servant contract, and their souls were connected. If anything happened to Songsong, Dong Xi would be able to sense it. Song Qingfeng grabbed its tail and lifted it up. Its little ws drooped down powerlessly, and she looked like it was half dead. ¡°What happened to Songsong?¡± Dong Xi asked in panic. Song Qingfeng put Songsong back in his hands and walked toward Dong Xi. Dong Xi subconsciously stepped back when she saw Song Qingfeng walking over as if he was going to force her to pay her debt. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s action, Song Qingfeng¡¯s eyes lit up with a smile. He said, ¡°It became like this because of its greed. A tier 1 squirrel actually dares to eat a tier 3 Illusion Rain Orchid. It would be strange if it didn¡¯t end up like this, right?¡± ¡°Senior Brother,¡± Dong Xi asked, ¡°There are restrictions everywhere. Songsong is just a tier one squirrel. How could it get in?¡± After saying that, Dong Xi looked up at Second Senior Brother and found that he was a little speechless. Dong Xi asked even more nervously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something wrong?¡± Song Qingfeng raised his hand and took out a huge book. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, take a good look at it.¡± Dong Xi saw the words ¡®Complete Guide to Demon Beasts¡¯ on the book. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­.¡± Dong Xi admitted that she did not know much about this, but she did not dare to ept this book. If she epted it, she would have a few decades of debt. What was the point of cultivating? It was even more miserable than a ve worker. ¡°No need,¡± Dong Xili said, shaking her head. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the library to borrow some books.¡± Of course, Song Qingfeng knew what Dong Xi was thinking. He smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re so useless. I¡¯ll lend you this. You don¡¯t need to pay any rent!¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. She cupped jer fists and said,¡±Thank you, Senior Brother. Little Junior Sister won¡¯t hesitate!¡± Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi happily holding a book that was about the same height and felt a little funny. He kindly said to Dong Xi, ¡°The innate skill of the tier one Broodbreak Squirrel is immunity to all restrictions.¡± Chapter 128 - 128 There Is No Time in Cultivation 128 There Is No Time in Cultivation It was because the little squirrel was immune to all the restrictions that it was able to run to Song Qingfeng¡¯s cave. Seeing that Dong Xi had understood, Song Qingfeng continued, ¡°You should be happy that it came to me. If you went to other ces, I¡¯m afraid you would be implicated.¡± Dong Xi frowned and her expression became serious. ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother, for stopping it for me,¡± Dong Xi said sincerely with cupped fists. ¡°I¡¯llpensate you for the spirit nts.¡± Song Qingfeng did not care too much. There were spirit herbs in the yard anyway. Even if he strolled around, he could stomp a few third-grade spirit herbs to death. !! The reason why he said that was just to tease. Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s serious expression, Song Qingfeng thought for a while and said, ¡°It¡¯s not necessary. Didn¡¯t I tell you to catch more fish in the Secret Realm? You can pay with fish.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She might not have caught anything else, but she had caught quite a few fish. With the fish in one hand and the goods in the other, Dong Xi carefully ¡®redeemed¡¯ Songsong back into her hands. Songsongy softly on Dong Xi¡¯s arm with its eyes closed. If one got close, one could hear it breathing. The corner of Dong Xi¡¯s mouth twitched a few times. She looked up at Song Qingfeng and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, how long will this little thing sleep for?¡± Song Qingfeng returned to his soft couch and said lightly, ¡°That depends on how long this little thing can take to absorb the spirit nt. It could be a few months, or a few years. It depends on this little thing¡¯s own luck.¡± Dong Xi sighed softly. Forget it. In the future, it would be safer to put it in the jade pendant. Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s worried face andforted him, ¡°There¡¯s no time in Immortal cultivation. Don¡¯t mind it too much. When you wake up next time, you¡¯ll be able to advance.¡± Dong Xi nodded. This could be considered a good thing! After leaving Song Qingfeng¡¯s cave, Dong Xi sat on Xiao Yezi and returned to the cave. More than a month had passed, and she wondered what the five seeds were like now. As soon as Dong Xinded, she immediately went to take a look at the experimental field. She looked at the experimental field, then at the red flowers she had brought back and nted at the side. Why did it feel a little off? Some of the surrounding nts had their nutrients taken away by the flower, and they became a little wilted. As for the two spirit nts that were originally nearby, they had also moved to other ces. This? What was happening? Spirit nts could walk on their own? Dong Xi was extremely curious, and she might as well take action. Dong Xi used her wood spiritual energy to protect a spirit nt and carefully dug it out, wanting to nt the spirit nt next to the red flower. However, just as she was about to nt it, she saw the leaves of the spirit nt trembling. Dong Xi stood up and was about to walk into the cave abode when she discovered that the spirit herbs were actually quietly moving to the side. Dong Xi¡¯s soft eyes were truly a sight to behold! The spirit nts could move on their own? What kind of monster was this? In the ¡®Complete Guide to Spirit nts¡¯ she had read before, it said that if one found such a Spirit Ginseng nt, they had to immediately use ¡®Ground Prison¡¯ spell to lock it down. Otherwise, who knew where they would run to next time? Could it be that the one moving was a Spirit Ginseng nt? With such a thought in mind, Dong Xi was somewhat satisfied. If it was a ginseng, its grade would definitely not be low, so there was no need to throw away the frog statue. This time, Dong Xi did not nt the spirit herbs by force. He was only worried that this ginseng would run around like Songsong, so she used Ground Prison. When she returned to the cave, Dong Xi waspletely rxed. Sure enough, no matter how good other ces were, they could not be better than his own ¡®kennel¡¯! Dong Xi put Songsong on herp, took out the Complete Guide to Demon Beasts that Second Senior Brother had borrowed, and turned to the page where Songsong was. The Broodbreak Squirrel was a tier 1 demon beast. It could grow, and its peak level was still unknown. Unknown? Dong Xi was a little confused. The word ¡®unknown¡¯ usually meant two extremes. One was extremely powerful, while the other was indescribably arrogant. Dong Xi did not dare to think too much. If her expectations were too high, the disappointment would be too great. It was better not to have too much hope for a guy who could transform grass into a tree. Dong Xi found it a little difficult to carry such arge book, so she ced Songsong, who was sleeping on herp, on her shoulder and ced the book on herp to continue reading. This page had detailed records of the habits and skills of the Broodbreak Squirrel. It ate all kinds of spirit fruits and nuts as its food. Although it was very timid, it was very alert. Someone had seen this little fellow in the Daxing Forest of the Eastern Continent before, but he had only seen it once before disappearing without a trace. Dong Xi read it carefully and looked at the limp Songsong. She suddenly fell silent. Timid but very alert? However, Songsong was rather reckless. Could it be that she was the only one like this, and she so happened to meet it? It can¡¯t be such a coincidence, right? Chapter 129 - 129 Perhaps He’s a Hybrid? 129 Perhaps He¡¯s a Hybrid? Dong Xi thought that since she had already borrowed the book, she might as well read it and understand the demon beasts. In the book, Dong Xi found Senior Brother Rui Xian¡¯s sky crane race, as well as the fish she caught from the Secret Realm. However, it was strange that there was no record of the big snake in the entire book. The snake¡¯s scales were pitch-ck and lustrous. He had dark golden vertical pupils, and his spiritual energy was still green and poisonous. There were also many snake races in the book, but after carefulparison, there was no one like the great snake. Dong Xi closed the book and muttered to herself, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a hybrid? It can also mutate?¡± Since she did not have a clue, Dong Xi did not want to think about it anymore. She ran to the Second Senior Brother¡¯s cave dwelling again and returned the book and the furnace. Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi with a faint smile and asked, ¡°You¡¯re really not renting it? What kind of furnace did Master give you? Can it withstand the damage?¡± Dong Xi firmly shook her head and showed off the furnace that Master had given her. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m not renting it! Senior Brother, look, Master gave it to me. It¡¯s very good, and I¡¯m using it quite well. You don¡¯t have to worry about it!¡± Song Qingfeng looked at the furnace and could not help but sigh, ¡°Master is so biased! You even have this furnace?¡± This golden pattern furnace naturally could not bepared with his furnace, but it was much better than the one Song Qingfeng had when he had just entered the sect and his master had casually given it to the disciples of the Magic Tool Sect. Dong Xi put away the golden-pattern cauldron and took out 95 bottles of pills from her storage ring, filling the jade table in front of Song Qingfeng. ¡°Senior Brother, this is to pay my rent,¡± said Dong Xi. Seeing so many bottles, Song Qingfeng¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. But when he saw more and more porcin bottles on the table, he was dumbfounded. ¡°Rent? ¡± Song Qingfeng was confused. ¡°This is all rent?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Dong Xi nodded. Song Qingfeng looked at the pill on the table and then at Dong Xi. he smiled and said, ¡± one pill per batch. Little Junior Sister, you finally understand. If you¡¯re wrong, I won¡¯t return it. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯ve concocted 950 cauldrons of pills, so I should give you 950 pills. Ten pills per bottle, so it¡¯s exactly 95 bottles.¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s folding fan fell to the ground, but he didn¡¯t even pick it up. He looked at Dong Xi with shock in his eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯ve refined 950 cauldrons in just one month? More than 30 cauldrons a day?¡± The shock in his tone made Dong Xi think that he had done something incredible. However, Dong Xi did not do anything except refine some medicinal pills. Although it was boring, she got used to it after a long time. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± said Dong Xi indifferently. ¡°It¡¯s a little slow, but I have to cultivate at night, so I need some time.¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s eyes widened as if he was looking at a monster. Song Qingfeng asked in disbelief, ¡°You¡¯ve been cultivating every night?!¡± Dong Xi nodded and looked at Song Qingfeng with confusion. She di dnot understand why her Second Senior Brother would ask such a question. ¡°That¡¯s for sure. My aptitude isn¡¯t good. If I don¡¯t work hard in cultivation, I¡¯ll fall behind others by a lot, right?¡± Dong Xi said. Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± This girl was already at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Those new disciples who joined the sect together with her were still at the third or second level of the Qi Refinement stage. Only Chi Yan and a few others who were more talented had barely reached the fourth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Who was left behind? Song Qingfeng suddenly understood why his master was so good to his Little Junior Sister. A diligent child was always liked. In addition, his Little Junior Sister should be the main pir of the Alchemy Sect this year. But Song Qingfeng was wrong about this. The news that the Junior Sister of the Alchemy Sect, Dong Xi, had refined 9,500 pills in a month in the alchemy room had spread very quickly. It was also because of the support of Dong Xi¡¯srge number of pills that the number of Spirit Restore Pills that the disciples of the Ningtian Sect could return this month increased. Song Qingfeng was already numb to this news. His Junior Sister had made 950 cauldrons of pills and produced 9,500 pills. She had reached her limit almost every time. Song Qingfeng took out a porcin bottle. As soon as he opened the bottle, a strong medicinal fragrance came out of the bottle. Song Qingfeng was speechless. Song Qingfeng could not believe it. He opened a few bottles and found that all of them were top-grade spirit refilling pills. It turned out that Junior Sister was actually able to form a perfect pill in this one month. Chi Yan, who had also received the news, looked at themunication jade slip and could note back to her senses. Chi Yan hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind. She picked up the Jade slip and sent a message to Dong Xi. [Little Junior Sister, I have some doubts about alchemy. I wonder if I can ask Little Junior Sister for some advice?] Chapter 130 - 130 Endless Knowledge 130 Endless Knowledge These days, Master had been in seclusion. Chi Yan had tried to send messages to her Eldest Senior Brother, but there had been no response. Perhaps he was also in seclusion. Chi Yan himself could not figure it out. Now that Little Junior Sister had suddenly appeared, it was naturally a better choice. Dong Xi had also just finished refining a furnace of medicinal pills. When she saw the message about pills, she immediately replied. [Senior Sister, if you have any questions, just ask. Little Junior Sister will definitely know everything and teach you everything she knows.] Chi Yan must have been waiting for Dong Xi¡¯s reply, and as soon as she sent it, she saw a voice message. Dong Xi opened it and heard Little Senior Sister asking seriously, ¡°Why do the cauldrons keep exploding?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± If the questions were too profound, Dong Xi might not know how to answer. But when it came to exploding furnaces and cauldrons, no one in the sect understood it better than Dong Xi. Dong Xiaoughed and sent a voice message, ¡°This matter is a bit troublesome to talk about. If Little Senior Sister has time,e to the alchemy room and we can discuss it together.¡± Chi Yan put away the jade slip, cast a cleaning spell, and tidied up the cave abode. She took off the broken feather on her head, turned back to her original form, and flew directly to the alchemy room. Chi Yan flew across the sky andnded in the alchemy room. Then, she strode towards Dong Xi¡¯s room. Many people saw her. Dong Xi saw Chi Yan enter, and then looked at the sign above her head that had already disappeared. She immediately understood everything. Chi Yan noticed that Dong Xi was looking at the top of her head, and suddenly felt a little ufortable, as if her secret had been discovered. No one would have thought that Chi Yan had blown up her own feathers because she was refining pills. Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s shining eyes, Chi Yan was stunned for a moment. Dong Xi immediately came forward affectionately and whispered, ¡°Senior Sister, do you also keep exploding furnaces?¡± When Chi Yan heard the word ¡®also¡¯, she suddenly guessed something. She looked at Dong Xi in disbelief and asked, ¡°Little Junior Sister, could it be that you also¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was slightly red as she nodded and sighed, ¡°Sigh, it exploded five times.¡± When Chi Yan heard this, it was as if he had seen his nsmen. She pulled Dong Xi¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Xiaoxi, how did you stop the explosion? I blew up three furnaces, and the ones I brought from home were all blown up. I asked the questions anonymously on the jade slip square, and no one knew.¡± ¡°I went to Second Senior Brother before,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°He told me it was a problem with the furnace.¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment and let Chi Yan sit in her seat. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, if you try using my furnace now, maybe you can solve the problem?¡± When Chi Yan heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, her heart calmed down a little, and she sat directly in front of Dong Xi¡¯s furnace. Chi Yan closed her eyes and was about to start when she suddenly thought of something and said to Dong Xi, ¡°Little Junior Sister, don¡¯t be afraid. If I blow up your furnace, I¡¯ll definitelypensate you with something better than this.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Sister,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°If it really explodes, we¡¯ll go to master for advice.¡± Chi Yan closed her eyes and circted her spirit Qi. Scorching fire spiritual Qi entered the furnace. The temperature was much higher than Dong Xi¡¯s. Even Dong Xi, who was sitting at the side, had ayer of sweat on her forehead. Although it was very hot, it did not affect anything. At this time, Dong Xi waspletely focused on the alchemy furnace, feeling the spirit nts gradually turning into nothingness under the high temperature. If the furnace were to explode this time, there wouldn¡¯t even be a scrap left. Chi Yan slowly opened her eyes. Dong Xi was still thinking about how tofort her when she saw Chi Yan looking at her with a happy face. Chi Yan said, ¡°Little Junior Sister! This time, the furnace really didn¡¯t explode!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± This could be considered an improvement, right? Through her observation, Dong Xi felt that it would be very difficult for Chi Yan to form pills. It was not because Chi Yan¡¯s fire was not good, but because Chi Yan only had a fire spiritual root, and it was difficult to control that degree. No wonder everyone said that if one wanted to be an alchemist, one must have the fire wood spirit root. However, it was not as if there was no way. Just like when he was studying in the past, if she had no talent, she could not just wait for death, right? What could she do? She could only rely on rote memorization. There was no form that could not be understood, as long as it was azy child! Dong Xi said, ¡°Little Senior Sister, don¡¯t be anxious. I think I know why. This time, you should slowly inject your spiritual power. If I say stop, stop!¡± When Chi Yan heard her say this, she immediately felt more at ease. Dong Xi then took out a set of materials and handed it to Chi Yan. Chi Yan threw the materials into the furnace, and ording to Dong Xi¡¯s instructions, she poured in spiritual Qi bit by bit. The furnace slowly heated up, and Dong Xi also injected a little wood spiritual energy into it. Sensing the state of the materials in the furnace, Dong Xi said, ¡°Now, add a little, a little, yes, good, it¡¯s done!¡± Chapter 131 - 131 Why Is It So Small? 131 Why Is It So Small? When Chi Yan heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she immediately stabilized the temperature and did not dare to increase it any further. The alchemy furnace was also roasted red by Chi Yan¡¯s fire spiritual energy. At this time, Dong Xi asked Chi Yan to put in a second spirit nt, using the same method. After a few times, all the spirit nts had been burned into liquid. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Little Senior Sister, now! Spread out your spiritual energy and prepare to fuse the medicinal liquid!¡± Chi Yan did not dare to hesitate. Following Dong Xi¡¯s instructions, she spread the spiritual Qi all over the alchemy furnace and carefully wrapped up the spirit liquid. The impurities in the spirit liquid were burned away by the high temperature. The temperature in the alchemy room had also be particrly high, and one could even hear the sizzling sound of the spirit liquid in the furnace. Dong Xi and Chi Yan¡¯s faces were slightly red, one caused by excitement, and the other by being too hot. In the end, all the liquid was mixed together. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Senior Sister, form the seal now! It¡¯s about to form into a pill!¡± the movement of Chi Yan¡¯s hand changed, and the temperature in the furnace also slowly dropped. Dong Xi withdrew the wood spiritual energy. Chi Yan opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°Senior Sister, hurry up and open the furnace!¡± Chi Yan¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise and nervousness. She gritted her teeth and nodded. ¡°Alright!¡± When Dong Xi saw Chi Yan use the technique, she immediately became nervous. Chi Yan waved her hand and five pills flew out. However, the pills Chi Yan refined were much smaller than other pills. They looked like the size of hawthorn pills in her previous life. Chi Yan frowned and said, ¡°So is this considered a failure?¡± Dong Xi picked up a medicinal pill and looked at it carefully, but she could not see any problems, so she simply ate it. The spirit power in the pill instantly filled Dong Xi¡¯s meridians. After a long time, Dong Xi opened her eyes. Chi Yan immediately asked, ¡°Did you seed?¡± Dong Xi gave Chi Yan a thumbs up and said, ¡°Amazing, Senior Sister. Your pill doesn¡¯t take up much space, but its effect is not bad!¡± When Chi Yan heard this, she could not believe it. Dong Xi said, ¡°You¡¯ll understand after eating one.¡± Chi Yan thought for a moment and ate a pill. She immediately realized that the effect of the pill was not bad. ¡°Why is it so small?¡± Chi Yan asked. ¡°Senior Sister, perhaps it¡¯s because your fire spiritual Qi is too dense that you¡¯ve refined the spirit liquid to be too pure. But this is very good!¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°You can sell 20 pills per bottle to those cultivators. They used to take them bottle by bottle, so they must have bought a lot.¡± Chi Yan had also just sensed Dong Xi¡¯s Wood spiritual energy in the furnace. She immediately frowned and said, ¡°Junior Sister, I can¡¯t ask you for help every time. I don¡¯t have a wood spirit root, so I can¡¯t feel the changes in the furnace.¡± ¡°No need, Senior Sister,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Did you remember it just now? How long did it take to temper each type of spirit nt? How long would the fusion take? Remember this feeling, and you can also refine pills in the future!¡± When Chi Yan heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she was suddenly a little dumbfounded. Would that be alright? ¡°Junior Sister, can we just memorize something like this?¡± asked Chi Yan. ¡°Should I try again?¡± ¡°Senior Sister, if we want to increase the sess rate, we need to experiment a few more times!¡± Dong Xi said after some thought. ¡°Experiment?¡± Chi Yan asked, puzzled. ¡°What is it?¡± In her previous life, Dong Xi had been a science student, so she had naturally experimented a lot. However, for a monster race, it was a new word. Dong Xi brought Chi Yan to the side and sat down. She began to exin, ¡°Senior Sister, different spiritual nts have different timing to remove impurities. You don¡¯t have a wood spirit root, so you can¡¯t urately sense the right time. However, if you¡¯re about the same age, the time should be about the same. Try a few times and get a rough idea of the time. You should be able to solve the problem of not being able to sense it, right?¡± Chi Yan¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this. She said, ¡°If I can learn it, I¡¯ll be the only alchemist in the n!¡± Dong Xi could hear Chi Yan¡¯s excitement from her words and said with a smile, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to congratte you in advance, Senior Sister!¡± Chi Yan scratched her head in embarrassment and said, ¡°Shall we start now?¡± In order to help Second Senior Brotherplete the sect¡¯s mission, Dong Xi had received many spirit herbs that were 10 years, 30 years, and even 50 years old. People in the world of cultivators all had very good memories, so Chi Yan should not have any problems. ¡°Alright!¡± Chi Yan¡¯s face turned serious. She watched as Dong Xi threw the spirit nt into the alchemy furnace. Chi Yan immediately focused her attention and extracted a trace of rich fire spiritual energy into the pill furnace. Chapter 132 - 132 You Can Definitely Do It 132 You Can Definitely Do It The process of experimentation required patience. There was no time in Immortal cultivation. It would take months at any time, and after a few years. Dong Xi even felt that if there was a timer for the recycling of pills, it would greatly improve little Senior Sister¡¯s alchemy skills. She even wanted to make an hourss for her Little Senior Sister, but neither of them knew how to refine artifacts, nor did they know anyone from the Spirit Tool Sect. They did not know where to get such an item. After the two of them had tested it over a hundred times, it could be considered to have some results. Chi Yan¡¯s control of the fire spiritual energy was better. Dong Xi also took out a spirit nt and handed it to Chi Yan. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, this time, you can try it yourself.¡± Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, the fire spiritual energy that had already gathered in her hand instantly dispersed, and a touch of uncertainty shed in her eyes. Chi Yan said, ¡°Junior Sister, I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± !! Dong Xi appraised the spirit nt and put it in Chi Yan¡¯s hand. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, we¡¯ve already tested more than a hundred cauldrons. You¡¯ll definitely be fine.¡± ¡°Even if it fails, it¡¯s just a spirit nt. It¡¯s okay.¡± When Chi Yan heard this, he felt that it made sense, so she calmed down. She took out the spirit herbs and quickly identified how old they were, then threw them directly into the alchemy furnace. Before she made her move, Chi Yan was still worried. However, when she really started, she calmed down. If one had to ask why it was like this, one could only say that practice makes perfect! Chi Yan injected spiritual energy into it and stopped almost immediately. She then threw in a spirit nt and continued with her actions skillfully. Slowly, Chi Yan¡¯s movements stopped, and she felt that the pill had been formed. Chi Yan opened her eyes and let out a breath. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, quickly open it and take a look.¡± Chi Yan nodded and cast a spell. The lid of the furnace was opened. Chi Yan quickly formed a seal and six pills flew out. Chi Yan¡¯s face immediately rxed, and a smile appeared on his face. Dong Xi said happily, ¡°Little Senior Sister, our experiment is a sess!¡± Chi Yan looked at Dong Xi¡¯s happy appearance and seemed to be infected by it. She smiled and said, ¡°Xiaoxi, I¡¯m really grateful to you!¡± ¡°Little Senior Sister, aren¡¯t you being too polite?¡± Dong Xi blinked and said. ¡°Didn¡¯t Master say that we¡¯re fellow disciples and should help each other?¡± Chi Yan shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s not that. The spirit nts I used for alchemy this time are all for you. Junior Sister, count how much I have. I¡¯ll make up for it.¡± Hearing Chi Yan¡¯s words, Dong Xi directlyughed and said, ¡°Senior Sister, I have to thank you this time!¡± ¡°Thank me?¡± Chi Yan asked, puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s right, Senior Sister.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°Do you know that I owe Second Senior Brother 60 years of sect missions?¡± Chi Yan immediately understood. She looked at Dong Xi and said in disbelief, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re saying that¡­ these are all for Second Senior Brother?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing I have Senior Sister¡¯s help. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how long I would have been refining pills by myself!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s own pill refining was especially taxing on spiritual Qi, and she was able to persevere all thanks to the Spirit Restore Pill. Now that Little Senior Sister was injecting fire spiritual energy, things were immediately different. Dong Xi only needed to inject a little bit of wood spiritual energy. The two of them became more and more skilled in cooperating, and the efficiency of their alchemy also increased. And now, she had already helped Second Senior Brother to umte more than a year¡¯s debt! Dong Xi did not hide anything, like a cat that had stolen a fish. Chi Yan did not get angry when she heard this. Instead, she felt that her Junior Sister was so cute! Chi Yan turned to Dong Xi, blinked, and said, ¡°Junior Sister, if that¡¯s the case, then we¡¯re even.¡± However, they did not know that while the two of them were in seclusion in the alchemy room, rumors about them had spread throughout the sect. As soon as Liang Yan came out of seclusion, he heard someone say that Chi Yan had gone to find trouble with Dong Xi in an aggressive manner. She had gone directly to Dong Xi¡¯s alchemy room and had note out until now. They did not know if the two of them had fought inside. Liang Yan did not know how many things he had missed in such a short time. He asked in surprise, ¡°They started fighting?¡± ¡°You two, wait!¡± Liang Yan shouted. The two young disciples turned around and saw the token on Liang Yan¡¯s waist. Their expressions immediately turned respectful as they saluted, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Senior Brother?¡± ¡°What did you guys just say?¡± Liang Yan asked with a serious expression. ¡°Chi Yan and Dong Xi are fighting?¡± The two disciplesughed and immediately said, ¡°Senior brother, you also like gossip! Chi Yan and Dong Xi¡¯s matter has already spread throughout the sect. I heard that Dong Xi was favored by Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng, who personally guided Dong Xi in alchemy. Chi Yan was jealous, so she went to Dong Xi directly!¡± Chapter 133 - 133 Who Spread It? 133 Who Spread It? Liang Yan, ¡°¡­.¡± These two little girls were actually jealous of Song Qingfeng? To be honest, Liang Yan could not imagine it. ¡°Who spread it?¡± Liang Yan asked, frowning. The two well-behaved disciples said honestly, ¡°We don¡¯t know either, but that day Chi Yan aggressively went to the alchemy room, many people saw it.¡± !! Liang Yan¡¯s face was filled with anger as he said, ¡°They¡¯re both eleven or twelve-year-old kids, how could they have such thoughts? You¡¯re not doing your proper work and ndering your fellow disciples. Immediately go to the Mission Hall to receive an additional year¡¯s worth of missions!¡± Even though Liang Yan did not believe that Chi Yan and Dong Xi would fight because of Song Qingfeng, he could not just leave them be. It was time to teach these two brats a lesson. Liang Yan immediately flew toward the alchemy room. Liang Yan anxiously rushed to the door of the alchemy room. He used his divine sense to check the room and found two people in the room talking about something with amunication jade slip. The two of them were still talking andughing. They did not look like they were fighting like the rumors said. However, if the two of them were to really fight, it was really hard to say who would win. Liang Yan knocked on the door and walked in, just in time to hear Dong Xi say, ¡°Little Senior Sister, it¡¯s great to refine pills now! But Little Senior Sister¡¯s pill furnace kept exploding. Master, what should we do? Why don¡¯t you see if you still have a pill furnace?¡± Upon hearing this, Liang Yan was taken aback. He turned around to look at the two little heads. Then, he looked at the pill furnace in the room. Why was the pill furnace here? Could it be that Master had already been here? Before he could understand anything, he heard two people shout, ¡°Senior Brother!¡± Liang Yan came back to his senses and smelled the fragrance in the room. ¡°You guys can form pills?¡± Dong Xi and Chi Yan nodded. Liang Yan continued to ask,¡±Eh? Two people?¡± The two of them nodded. Liang Yan smiled and said, ¡°It seems that Song Qingfeng¡¯s guidance is not bad.¡± Dong Xi immediately stopped smiling and said indifferently, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, we can¡¯t rent Second Senior Brother¡¯s furnace. It¡¯s very expensive. I had to pay 950 pills as rent!¡± Even Liang Yan, who had seen much of the world, was shocked. He said in disbelief, ¡°What? 950 pills? Is Song Qingfeng afraid that Master wille to settle the score?¡± Dong Xi had a helpless look on her face. Liang Yan looked at Chi Yan and asked, ¡°Junior Sister Chi Yan, you can also form pills?¡± This was something that Liang Yan had not thought of. The monster or demon race basically had a single spirit root. This had also limited the development of the demon race¡¯s medicinal pills, weapon refinement, and other aspects. Chi Yan¡¯s heavenly spirit was of the fire attribute, and the fire spiritual energy was particrly rich. If such a talent was used in sword techniques and spell techniques, it would certainly make rapid progress, but it was really not easy to refine pills. But how did Chi Yan do it? Liang Yan was extremely curious as well. If the other demons knew about this, they would be extremely envious. The sharp-eyed Liang Yan quickly saw the paper that Dong Xi had casually thrown on the ground. On it were written the different years of spirit herbs and how long they needed to be condensed. One could tell at a nce that this was Dong Xi¡¯s handwriting. Liang Yan¡¯s expression became even more shocked. It was as if the clouds had parted and the moon had appeared. He muttered to himself, ¡°So, so it can be like this?¡± If this method were to be promoted, all disciples would be able to refine pills! It did not matter even if there were no fire spiritual energy. They could still use earth fire. If there was no wood spiritual energy, it would be even less of a concern. He just had to remember the time. All of Liang Yan¡¯s thoughts turned into one. I¡¯ll go find Master immediately! Of course, before he left, he did not forget to say to the two, ¡°Although it¡¯s good to cultivate diligently, you still need to go out for a walk and strike a bnce between work and rest.¡± ¡°Yes, thank you for your advice, Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi with cupped fists. After Liang Yan left, Dong Xi looked at Chi Yan beside him and asked, ¡°Little Senior Sister, are we going out for a walk?¡± Chi Yan shook his head. ¡°You can go for a walk. I¡¯ve just mastered this method. I need to practice more.¡± Dong Xi nodded. There was indeed something she needed to do. When she came out of the room, she did not know what had happened, but everyone looked at Dong Xi in surprise. Dong Xi was toozy to ask, and directly went to hand in some missions, then took out the feather that Rui Xiang had given her and said, ¡°Senior Brother Rui Xiang, are you there?¡± Rui Xiang immediately replied, ¡°Yes! Junior Sister, you stay there. I¡¯ll go over immediately. Oh, by the way, you can call me Rui Ming now.¡± Dong Xi giggled and told him the location, and then waited there. Rui Xiang was a flying demon beast, and his speed was extremely fast. Dong Xi must have something to tell him, and Rui Xiang quickly flew towards Dong Xi. In less than half an hour, Rui Xiang flew in front of Dong Xi and transformed into his human form, shouting loudly, ¡°Junior Sister! Are you looking for me to y?¡± Chapter 134 - 134 Fulfilling the Promise 134 Fulfilling the Promise ¡°Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°I can concoct pills now!¡± Rui Ming seemed to be even happier than Dong Xi, as he said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Dong Xi generously took out ten bottles of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills and handed them to Rui Ming, saying heroically, ¡°Senior brother, I made these myself, take them! I said before that I¡¯ll take care of all your future pills. Now, I¡¯ll fulfill my promise!¡± Rui Ming was even more excited, the minds of demon beasts were generally rtively simple, and did not have so many messy thoughts. !! Dong Xi was so good to him, and Rui Ming also showed his kindness. Keeping the pills, Rui Ming took out many spirit herbs from his inner space and gave them to Dong Xi, Rui Ming said, ¡°Since Junior Sister can already refine pills, these spirit herbs are for you! I still have many, many more!¡± Dong Xi looked at the spirit nts that Rui Ming took out, they were basically all third grade, some were even second grade and above, and there were even a few heavenly treasures. Although Dong Xi¡¯s bottles of restore spirit pills were of the highest quality, they probably could notpare to one of the heavenly treasures! Dong Xi said in surprise, ¡°Senior Brother, this is too precious¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that in the future, you¡¯ll give me all the medicinal pills I need for cultivation? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to go back on your word?¡± ¡°No!¡± Dong Xi immediately shook her head and said. ¡°If Senior Brother doesn¡¯t believe me, I swear on my Dao Heart!¡±¡± Rui Ming knew that the Dao Heart was very important and immediately said, ¡°No need! I don¡¯t have much use for these spirit herbs, but it¡¯s different to give them to you, Junior Sister. You can refine pills! It¡¯s very powerful!¡± In the end, Dong Xi still epted the spirit herbs, thinking that next time, she could refine some pills specially for demon beasts for Senior Brother Rui Ming. ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m nning to go out for a walk,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°I¡¯ll also go to the market on the way. Do you want toe with me?¡± Rui Ming¡¯s eyes brightened, and immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Although it might not be as lively as the big assembly, it was still not bad. At the meeting ce, there was a fortune-telling stall, and the cloth behind the stall had the words ¡®Divine Foresight¡¯. Dong Xi remembered that Mo Han had been unwilling to read Ke Xin¡¯s fortunest time, so it was not a bad idea to ask here, but he had to see if it was urate. Dong Xi immediately went forward and saw the stall owner holding amunication jade slip. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Immortal Master, do you still do fortune-telling?¡± The stall owner raised his head and saw the two little fellows. They were only slightly taller than the table and they were not old. The stall owner said indifferently, ¡°Fortune-telling at such a young age? I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t even know what fate is.¡± The stall owner was waving a fan in his hand, and his sideburns swayed with the fan. He also had a rtively young appearance. However, Dong Xi knew very well that in the world of cultivators, one could not just look at one¡¯s appearance. Some people might look young, but in reality, they were all over a thousand years old. When Dong Xi heard the stall owner say this, she immediately asked, ¡°Could it be that¡­ Your calctions are not urate, so you don¡¯t dare to do it?¡± Dong Xi squinted her eyes. Her suspicious words immediately made the stall owner very unhappy. The stall owner chuckled and leaned back in his chair. He said arrogantly, ¡°I am Lili. Why don¡¯t you go and ask if I am not urate?¡± Dong Xi frowned when he heard Li Li¡¯s name. Li Li? Why did this name sound familiar? Dong Xi pondered for a long time before suddenly remembering something. She raised her head to look at the man in front of him and asked with a surprised expression, ¡°You¡¯re Li Li from Destiny Valley?¡± Li Li waved his fan proudly and said, ¡°That¡¯s right! It was me! Since you¡¯ve heard of my name, I, Li Li, don¡¯t need to say more about my ability, right?¡± Dong Xi frowned and shook her head, ¡°Indeed, there¡¯s no need to say more.¡± Li Li immediately became more proud, but not long after, he heard the girl in front of the table and the crane beside her say, ¡°This is Li Li. Let¡¯s go. Everyone else wants money, but Li Li wants life!¡± Rui Ming did not want to read his fortune. He was a crane, and even if something happened, there was still that old man Ruifu. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, he nodded,¡±Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll buy you some spirit fruits.¡± When Li Li heard the conversation between the two of them, his face became angry. Was there anyone in this world who did not know how to transmit their voice? He actually said it out loud in front of the person in question? Li Li stopped the two children who were about to leave. He said, ¡°You two, stand there!¡± Dong Xi looked back and saw Li Li standing up. His hands were shaking with anger. He pointed at the two with his fan and scolded, ¡°Y-you, Qianqian, make it clear. What do you mean when others want money, I want my life?¡± Rui Ming instinctively took a step forward, and blocked Dong Xi behind him! Chapter 135 - 135 Self-Judging 135 Self-Judging Rui Ming knew that this person¡¯s cultivation was above the two of them, and even if the two of them were to join forces, they still would not be this person¡¯s match. But no matter what, he was still a demon beast, and his original body was much more resistant to beatings than Dong Xi. Dong Xi was extremely calm. Although this was not arge city, it was still a city under the name of the Ningtian Sect. Fighting was prohibited here, and it was also the method the Ningtian Sect used to protect its disciples. Dong Xi imitated Li Li¡¯s manner, raised her chin, and said, ¡°Immortal Master Li Li should be a smart person. I¡¯m just talking about two people. Whether it¡¯s right or wrong, you have your own judgment.¡± When Li Li heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he also became serious and had a bad premonition in his heart. He heard the little girl in front of him say, ¡°Spirit vein¡­¡± !! Li Li suddenly panicked and immediately admitted defeat. He cupped his fists and said, ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll give it to you for free, alright? You don¡¯t need to say anymore.¡± When Dong Xi saw his reaction, the smile on her face became even wider. Dong Xi said, ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Immortal Master. We don¡¯t need it. Goodbye!¡± Looking at the girl walking away with the crane, Li Li frowned and threw the fan on the table, then took out the clothes and bones. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to, but I do!¡± Li Li muttered to himself. In fact, when Li Li was helping the Zhang family to calcte their fortune that day, he was taught a lesson by someone who blocked the heavenly secrets. That was why Li Li did not predict the danger and almost caused a tragedy. Because of this, Li Li was almost driven out of the Eastern Continent. He had no choice but toe here. Not many people knew this ce, and it was also the base of the Zhang family. If there was a chance in the future, he would think of a way to help the Zhang family and end this karma. However, he did not expect that no one would know about the good things, while everyone knew about the bad things. Even a child from a small ce like this knew that his divination was bad? Could it be that he still had to use an alias to earn his living expenses in the future? Li Li quickly cast a spell and at the same time, he opened his heavenly eye to look at the Oracle Bone¡¯s divination. He was stunned! What kind of divination was this? The Oracle Bone did not work? Or was Li Li really dying? He could not understand the fate of a little No! How could this be?! A man must never say no! Li Li made another hand seal, squeezed out his blood essence, and inserted it between his eyebrows. ¡°Pfft!¡± Li Li spat out a mouthful of blood and became dispirited. Damn it, what exactly is this little girl? He was suffering from a bacsh? It did not matter if he suffered a bacsh, but he still did not see anything. Li Li had been cultivating for so many years, and he could be considered a genius. However, this time, Li Li began to doubt his life. Could it be that from now on, he really could not perform divination anymore? It¡¯s no longer working? As soon as this thought appeared, Li Li suppressed it. He recited the Clear Heart Incantation in his heart and exhaled. He took out themunication jade slip and found Mo Han to send a message. [Junior Brother!] As soon as the message was sent out, the other side immediately replied. [Senior Brother, is there a problem with your Dao Heart?] Li Li looked at the information on the Jade slip. These familiar words made his heart turn upside down. Although his did not want to admit it, his master was right. Mo Han was indeed more talented. The veins on the back of Li Li¡¯s hands popped out. After a long time, he finally calmed down. Li Li knew that the only person who could help him now was his Junior Brother Mo Han. Li Li replied to the message. [Yes!] Mo Han casually replied. [The one who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell.] Li Li frowned and replied to the message. [Junior Brother, you¡¯re saying that you want me to go to the Zhang family?] Mo Han sneered and could not help but send a voice message, ¡°I¡¯m asking you to find the person who made your Dao Heart suspicious.¡± Li Li finally reacted. Is it that girl just now? He looked at the jade scroll in his hand, then at the Oracle Bone on the table, and then at the bustling streets. Li Li waved his sleeve and the stall disappeared. Li Li walked directly in the direction where Dong Xi had left. He did not walk very fast, but he disappeared after a few steps. At this time, Dong Xi was flipping through a few jade slips in front of a stall. A voice came from behind him. Li Li asked, ¡°You want to learn movement techniques?¡± Dong Xi turned around and saw Li Li standing behind him. Li Li had his hands behind his back and was looking at the jade slip in Dong Xi¡¯s hand with his back bent. ¡°If you want to learn movement techniques, I might be able to teach you,¡± Li Li said. When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately became vignt. As the ancient people said, those who were unountably solicitous were either evil or thieves! Dong Xi was not an idiot, so how could she not know this? Dong Xi immediately said with a serious face, ¡°No need, I don¡¯t want to learn. As a body cultivator, I never run away!¡± Chapter 136 - 136 I Am a Body Cultivator 136 I Am a Body Cultivator Rui Ming, who had always been simple-minded, immediately looked at Dong Xi in confusion when he heard what she said. Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, what are you doing?¡± Shouldn¡¯t she be an alchemy cultivator? Before Rui Ming could finish his sentence, Dong Xi interrupted him, ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m a body cultivator!¡± Rui Ming believed it on the spot, and was even more impressed with Dong Xi in his heart. !! Rui Ming¡¯s master had said that humans could cultivate all kinds of cultivation techniques, spells, and evenprehend the Dao. The heavens had given humans such great talent, but their bodies were the weakest. Therefore, if humans wanted to train their bodies, they had to train their muscles and bones, and temper their skin. The pain they had to endure was many times more than that of demon beasts. Little Junior Sister was still so young, how could she endure the pain of body refining? She was too strong! Dong Xi did not know what Rui Ming was thinking, but if Dong Xi knew, she would definitely be very ashamed. After all, Dong Xi was only a body cultivator who had not even started to cultivate her body. Standing beside Dong Xi, Li Li looked at Dong Xi¡¯s thin arms and legs. She did not look like a body cultivator at all! Li Li did not even need to use his divinity to know that Dong Xi was talking nonsense. ¡°Fairy, you really don¡¯t want to learn movement spells?¡± asked Li Li. ¡°I obtained a movement spell in the Secret Realm, it can even allow you to cast Spatial Bending and manipte distances. If you want¡­¡± What? Spatial Bending? Manipte distances? This was a legendary-level movement technique. Dong Xi was very envious, but there was a voice in her heart that kept telling her¡­ There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even if there was one, it could be a trap. Dong Xi looked at Li Li and said firmly, ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡± Li Li, ¡°? ¡± Li Li thought that no one in the world of cultivators could refuse Spatial Bending, but now he was actually rejected by a little girl! This ignorant little girl, did she not know how big of an opportunity this was? Seeing that Li Li still wanted to speak, the stall owner was dissatisfied and said, ¡°Can¡¯t you let the Fairy browse my jade slips? We¡¯re all businessmen, you¡¯re too much! What do you mean by Spatial Bending? It might be fake! I¡¯ve seen too many unscrupulous merchants like you who make up stories. You say that you¡¯re very powerful, but when you go back, you find that you¡¯re just trash!¡± ¡°This Boss is right, I don¡¯t believe you!¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded in agreement. Li Li thought that there must be a misunderstanding, so he could only continue, ¡°I didn¡¯t say you need to pay¡­¡± The stall owner said directly, ¡°Fairy, go back and ask your master. Even if someone in this world gives you a cultivation technique for free, would you dare to ept it?¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Dong Xi immediately shook her head. Not only did Dong Xi say this, she even turned around and said to Rui Ming, ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t believe in free lunch when you¡¯re out there. The world is chaotic and there are many bad people out there.¡± Rui Ming nodded and said, ¡°Yes, Junior Sister. You should also be careful. If you encounter any danger, just call me. Senior Brother can take a beating!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s heart felt warm, senior brother Rui Ming was so cute! The ¡®bad guy¡¯ Li Li, who was standing at the side, had a helpless look on his face¡­ Why was he suddenly a bad guy? He just wanted to hold on to his Dao Heart. Li Li had not walked in the outside world for a long time and didn¡¯t know that these children would be so vignt now! Li Li followed Dong Xi just like that. No matter how fast Dong Xi and Rui Ming ran, Li Li would still easily catch up. Li Li did not ake a move either. When the two stopped, Li Li used Spatial Bending. He did not believe that there was anyone in this world who could reject such a good movement technique. In the end, Dong Xi could not take it anymore. She turned around and asked, ¡°Immortal Master Li Li, what do you want?¡± Li Li waved the fan in his hand and said indifferently, ¡°How is it? Little girl, is my movement technique fake?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not fake!¡± Dong Xi helplessly replied. ¡°Is that enough?!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not bad!¡± Li Li said with satisfaction. Just as Dong Xi was about to say something to refute Li Li, he continued, ¡°Alright, take me to your master!¡± ¡°Just because you said you wanted to see my master, I should bring you to him?¡± Dong Xiqi asked with furrowed brows. Dong Xi had been under her master¡¯s name for a year, but she had only seen him three times. In the next moment, a paper crane appeared in front of Dong Xi and ignited. Her master¡¯s boice sounded, ¡°Xiaoxi, don¡¯t be rude. Bring Immortal Master Li Li back to Lingxu Peak.¡± This paper crane was a voice transmission talisman, and it looked quite fun. Dong Xi did not want to continue using the jade slip and wanted to buy some voice transmission talismans to y with. Li Li looked at the little girl in front of him and said, ¡°Your master already said to bring me back, can I go see your master now?¡± ¡°This time, it¡¯s your master who asked you to bring me back!¡± Chapter 137 - 137 Still So Childish at Such an Old Age? 137 Still So Childish at Such an Old Age? Dong Xi remembered the gossip about Li Li that he had read in the jade slip before. Li Li was an elder of Destiny Valley. his cultivation was not low, and his age should not be young either. It was normal for him to know her master. However, he was already so old, yet he was still so childish? Although Dong Xi did not understand, she still respectfully said, ¡°Immortal master, please follow me.¡± Li Li followed Dong Xi and stood in the teleportation formation of the Ningtian Sect. Although he did not have the waist token of the Ningtian Sect, he still had the one of Destiny Valley. !! The rtionship between the Ningtian Sect and Destiny Valley had always been good, and they often sparred with each other. After returning to the sect, Rui Ming and Dong Xi separated. Li Li followed Dong Xi and climbed up Master Lingxu¡¯s Mountain step by step. When they were halfway up the mountain, Li Li couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Fairy, why are you climbing up? Why don¡¯t you use a movement technique?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Could it be that Dong Xi did not know how to use movement techniques? This did not mean that she had none! Originally, she could use the little leaf to go up the mountain, but Dong Xi was unwilling to take it out now. She wanted to let this guy suffer a little. Even as she cursed in her heart, she remained calm on the surface. ¡°Immortal Master, I¡¯ve said before that I¡¯m a body cultivator.¡± At this moment, Li Li also somewhat believed that Dong Xi was a body cultivator who had just started learning, but¡­ was this girl¡¯s master not Lingxu? Master Lingxu did not know how to cultivate the body, but he was a true eighth-grade alchemy master! The two of them finally reached the top of the mountain. The path that Dong Xi had opened up earlier now looked more like a road. Li Li stood at the top of the mountain and said breathlessly, ¡°It seems to me that there was no path before this. Did you walk out like this?¡± Li Li asked casually, and Dong Xi said with a serious face, ¡°There are no roads in this world to begin with. It¡¯s just that people often walk, so there are roads. Li Li was suddenly stunned. He looked at the road he had walked past, then at Dong Xi, and his eyes suddenly became a little dazed. Then, he sat down in front of Dong Xi. When Dong Xi saw him close his eyes, her irritable breath also instantly calmed down. Then, she looked at her master¡¯s cave abode. They had already arrived, so why were they still sitting down and not leaving? Could it be that he was too tired? Just as Dong Xi was feeling perplexed, the space behind her rippled. Turning around, she discovered her master standing behind her. Master Lingxu looked at Li Li and said with some envy, ¡°I¡¯ve gained Enlightmenment¡­ I didn¡¯t expect that I¡¯d have such a good opportunity when master Daoist Li Li came to visit me.¡± Dong Xi did not expect that a random famous saying from her previous life would make Li Li gain Enlightenment. Dong Xi said in disbelief, ¡°What? Dao Enlightenment?¡± Apart from Dong Xi, Master Lingxu was even more interested. He looked at Dong Xi and asked, ¡°Xiaoxi, what did Immortal Master Li Li see? Why did he suddenly gain Enlightenment?¡± Lingxu had been looking at the scenery on the mountain for hundreds of years, but he had neverprehended Dao even once. How did Li Liprehend Dao just now? Dong Xi shook his head. With aplicated expression, he told her how he had brought Li Li up and the famous saying. Master Lingxu looked into the distance and said, ¡°People often walk, and there is a road. Good! It¡¯s very good!¡± ¡°Although Xiaoxi is young, herprehension is very high. She can still say such words!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face immediately turned red. Even if Dong Xi was shameless now, he wouldn¡¯t dare to directly admit that he hadprehended these words. Dong Xi immediately waved her hand and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m not the one who said this first. I don¡¯t have such great ability. This is what a senior said when I was still in the mortal world. Master Lingxu smiled. ¡°That¡¯s understandable. I¡¯m still curious. The person who said that should be very experienced. How could a little girl like you understand?¡± Dong Xi looked at Li Li and started to think. Dong Xi was thinking if she could write down all the famous sayings from her previous life and put them together, would she be able to publish a book called the ¡®Ceremony of Enlightenment¡¯? She just did not know if it would work! ¡°Let¡¯s go back first,¡± Master Lingxu turned around and said. ¡°Master!¡± Dong Xi looked at Li Li and asked, ¡°Master, don¡¯t we need to stay here and guard Immortal Master Li Li?¡± ¡°This is my cave abode,¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°I¡¯ll naturally take care of it. Xiaoxi, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Hearing his Master¡¯s words, Dong Xi felt much more at ease. In any case, this person could be said to have been enlightened by Dong Xi, which was also Li Li¡¯s opportunity. Three days passed in Li Li¡¯s state of Enlightenment. When he opened his eyes again, a light shed in his eyes and he exhaled. Li Li stood up and cast a cleaning spell on himself. As he looked at the path he was walking on, all the pent-up feelings in his heart were instantly lifted. Sure enough, the Heavenly Dao still favored Li Li. He had just experienced failure and his Dao Heart was unstable, but he immediately got such an opportunity. Chapter 138 - 138 How Can It Work Every Time? 138 How Can It Work Every Time? The path that Li Li had taken might not have been taken by anyone before, but there would definitely be someone who would take it in the future. It was the same with the divinity. Even if it was not urate sometimes, it was normal. How could something like prying into the secrets of heaven work every time? There was some movement beside Li Li. He looked to the side and saw Master Lingxu slowly appear. ¡°Congrattions to Master Li Li for having such an opportunity!¡± Master Lingxu said with a smile. Li Li also immediately said respectfully, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Master Lingxu. The Immortal mountain here is good. If I knew that I could have an Epiphany here, I would havee to disturb you a long time ago.¡± !! Master Lingxu smiled. ¡°We can¡¯t miss out on any opportunity. My little disciple just joined me not long ago. If you hade earlier, I¡¯m afraid you wouldn¡¯t have met her!¡± When Li Li heard this, he immediately asked, ¡°Master Lingxu, what¡¯s the name of your disciple?¡± Lingxu said with a smile, ¡°That girl? Her surname is Dong, and her first name is Xi!¡± When Li Li saw the appearance of Lingxu, he knew that this girl was Lingxu¡¯s beloved disciple! ¡°Is that so? I wonder Dong Xi is. I¡¯d like to thank her personally.¡± Li Li was now more than 400 years old, and his divination was still very urate, so many people would bring money to him and ask him to open a divinity. Li Li wanted to thank her, and the gift must be very valuable. At the thought of this, Master Lingxu did not hesitate. He continued, ¡°Xiaoxi, she¡¯s on the other side of the mountain. I¡¯ll call her over. However, he did not expect Li Li to walk out directly. Li Li said, ¡°Since I know she¡¯s on the other side, I¡¯ll go over personally. Xiaoxi is a body cultivator, and I don¡¯t know how long I¡¯ll have to wait for her toe over!¡± After Li Li said that, he walked down the mountain. Li Li secretly used spatial bending, and in just a moment, Ling Xu could no longer see Li Li¡¯s figure. Master Lingxu looked up at Dong Xi¡¯s mountain and muttered to himself, ¡°Body cultivator?¡± As his disciple, wasn¡¯t Dong Xi an alchemy cultivator? This wasn¡¯t quite right. After all, Dong Xi was also a sword cultivator, but now she had be a body cultivator? When Li Li arrived outside Dong Xi¡¯s cave, Dong Xi was experimenting with a few spirit nts in the field. For the past two days, Songsong had been sleeping, so there was no one to take care of these spirit herbs. Previously, Dong Xi wanted to practice her sword, and when he saw that a few herbs were a little listless, she immediately injected wood spiritual energy into them to revive them. ¡°Xiaoxi, are you alright?¡± asked Li Li. When Dong Xi heard the voice, she raised her head and saw a person slowly walking over from a distance. He only took a few steps before he arrived in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi was instantly very envious. This movement technique was too amazing! If she were to use this movement technique to travel in the future, it would be much better than the little leaf! There was once a chance to learn this movement technique, but Dong Xi did not cherish it. If she was given another chance now¡­ Li Li showed an expression that said ¡®Don¡¯t resist, I know you want to learn¡¯. Li Li said indifferently, ¡°Xiaoxi, are you envious? you really don¡¯t want to learn my Spatial Bending?¡± There was no other way. Dong Xi admitted that she really wanted to learn! After all, this was something that Li Li had been chasing after to teach her. If Dong Xi did not learn it, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of opportunity sent by the heavens? ¡°Immortal Master Li Li, I have some doubts, ¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Why do you want to teach me the movement technique?¡± Li Li looked at the little girl in front of him. Although she was not very beautiful, she still had some heroic spirit. Li Li looked at Dong Xi¡¯s serious expression and also became serious. He said, ¡°Perhaps there¡¯s fate between us. But now, you¡¯ve given me a chance to gain Enlightenment and stabilize my Dao Heart.¡± Dong Xi looked at Li Li with a strange look in her eyes. ording to Dong Xi¡¯s knowledge, the Dao Heart was the most firm in a person¡¯s heart and could not be easily shaken. However, if it wavered, it would be the same as if the foundation was damaged, and everything would be over. Now that Li Li had said it so frankly, Dong Xi also let down his guard a little. Dong Xi yed with the shovel and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know how you can tell that we¡¯re fated, but I¡¯ve never known you before.¡± ¡°Of course, an expert said this to me,¡± said Li Li with a smile. The ¡®expert¡¯ Mo Han sneezed for no reason. Mo Han looked at Li Xiann and said, ¡°How would I know where your brother went? Junior Sister Li, you shouldn¡¯t havee to me!¡± Li Xiann frowned and said, ¡°Senior Brother, won¡¯t you know if you perform divination? Finding someone should be a simple matter to you.¡± Mo Han¡¯s eyes were calm. ¡°If it¡¯s really that simple to perform divination, can¡¯t you do it yourself, Junior Sister Li?¡± Mo Han said lightly. Chapter 139 - 139 Are You Really Not Going to Help Me? 139 Are You Really Not Going to Help Me? Li Xiann snorted and asked again, ¡°Senior brother, are you really not going to help me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not about whether I can help you or not,¡± Mo Han shook his head. ¡°I really can¡¯t do anything.¡± Li Xiann flicked her sleeve and threw all the items on Mo Han¡¯s table to the ground. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m powerless,¡± Li Xiann shouted, ¡°is there anything you don¡¯t understand in this world? Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t understand, you just don¡¯t want to help me, you want me to stay as far away from you as possible, it¡¯s best if I don¡¯te over and bother you!¡± !! Mo Han¡¯s eyes were still calm as he said indifferently, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re wrong. Even with my divinity and fortune-telling, I didn¡¯t expect myself to turn blind!¡± Mo Han¡¯s eyes no longer had any color. Li Xiann turned around and left. She did get information about where her brother had gone, and was even angered by Mo Han. With a wave of a hand, Mo Han¡¯s things on the ground returned to the table and were arranged neatly. Li Li, whom the two of them were talking about, was teaching Dong Xi the movement technique of Spatial Bending at the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi followed Li Li¡¯s instructions and gathered the spiritual Qi on her leg to feel the guidance of the spiritual Qi. Finally, she took a slow step. This step was the same as her usual one. Li Li said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t try to scheme. You can see that it¡¯s very easy for me to use this movement technique. It took me almost a year to learn it back then.¡± Dong Xi nodded her head. She had other understandings of the cultivation of this movement technique. If heaven and earth were the axis, he would set up coordinates X, Y, and Z. Then, she would use the current point as the origin point, and the value of the next foothold as the current spiritual energy threshold. If she used X as a variable, the biggest influence would probably be earth spiritual energy. Then, if she connected the origin andnding point with earth spiritual energy, wouldn¡¯t she be able to travel a thousand miles in a day? Dong Xi closed her eyes and felt the spiritual Qi beneath her feet. The earth spiritual energy came from the ground, thick and continuous. She would treat thend as small molecules, and then use energy to reassemble the small molecules. She would seize this opportunity toplete the goal of crossing. To put it simply, it was to use earth spiritual energy to move the ground under one¡¯s feet. To put it more simply, it was to walk on the conveyor belt. It looked like one step, but she would travel further than one step. Dong Xi pondered for a long time before she tried again. Li Li was a little surprised when he saw Dong Xi change the spiritual Qi into earth spiritual Qi. So this girl also had earth spirit root? It seemed that this girl¡¯s aptitude was not very good. If one¡¯s aptitude was not too good, it would be very difficult for them to achieve anything great on the path of Immortal cultivation. However, what Li Li did not understand was that he could not even predict the fate of such a little girl. It seemed that Dong Xi had something extraordinary about her. Then, Li Li saw Dong Xi move. She took a step forward and was already standing on the other side of the field in the next second. Li Li waved the fan in his hand, his eyes full of shock. He said in disbelief, ¡°Try again!¡± Dong Xi took another step and walked from the side of the field to Li Li¡¯s side. No matter what, Li Li was also a Nascent Soul stage expert. Of course, he could see that although Dong Xi had seeded, there were still some differences between the two of them. Li Li looked at Dong Xi and asked sincerely, ¡°Xiaoxi, how did you do it?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°In my current cultivation world, everything has a spirit. Even the spiritual Qi that they breathe and thend under their feet have their own power. I can move thend a little with the help of the earth spiritual Qi. I can move forward a little.¡± Speaking of this, Dong Xi also realized something. In his hands, this movement technique seemed to be different from what Li Li had described. The Spatial Bending itself was based on aplex space, but with Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation, it was impossible for her toe into contact with space. On the contrary, such a simple ¡®Earth Bending¡¯ technique was easier to learn. A light shed in Li Li¡¯s eyes and he said indifferently, ¡°Borrowing power? I understand now! Little girl, although you¡¯re still young, yourprehension is really high. If your aptitude is a little better, it¡¯s not impossible for you to Ascend.¡± Li Li sighed in his heart. It was a pity that this girl had three spirit roots. Normally, Li Li¡¯s Dao Heart had already stabilized and he should go back. However, Li Li didn¡¯t want to leave. Li Li didn¡¯t even stay in the residence arranged by the disciples of Lingxu Peak. He insisted on cultivating at the foot of Lingxu Mountain and even said that he had to climb the mountain every day. Master Lingxu was instantly stunned. It could not be what he was thinking, right? ¡°Climb the mountain every day?¡± Lingxu asked in surprise. Li Li said with a smile, ¡°I have some fate with this mountain. I¡¯ll climb the mountain in the next few days when I¡¯m free. Maybe I¡¯ll have some other opportunities.¡± It was hard for Li Li to say whether it was a coincidence or not, but every time Dong Xi said something, Li Li would be inspired. Dong Xi¡¯s mind was open and very flexible. He wondered what kind of family could cultivate such a girl! Chapter 140 - 140 Sword Cultivator or Body Cultivator? 140 Sword Cultivator or Body Cultivator? Therefore, Li Li stayed at the foot of Lingxu Peak and went to Dong Xi¡¯s ce every day. He just wanted to have a chance to talk to Dong Xi more. However, this little girl did not seem to be tired. She started practicing her sword from morning to night every day. Her diligence made Li Li doubt himself. Was this girl a sword cultivator or a body cultivator? Cultivation was originally done alone, but now, she had apanion. Although this person did not speak much, Dong Xi still felt very ufortable! Three dayster, Dong Xi said that she wanted to go into seclusion. !! ¡°Daoist Master Li Li, you don¡¯t need toe tomorrow. I¡¯m going to enter seclusion and start practicing alchemy and concocting pills,¡± said Dong Xi. Li Li looked at the calm little girl in front of him and fell into deep thought again. Li Li even suspected what he had just heard. Alchemy? Normally, as the disciple of Master Lingxu, it was normal for Dong Xi to refine pills. However, Li Li found out these few days that Dong Xi not only knew alchemy, but she was also a sword cultivator and a body cultivator. How could Li Li not be shocked? ¡°You know how to refine pills?¡± Li Li asked in shock. Dong Xi looked at Li Li¡¯s shocked expression and asked in confusion, ¡°As an Alchemy Sect disciple, what¡¯s so strange about me knowing how to refine pills?¡± Li Li paused before said seriously, ¡°Xiaoxi, you¡¯re still young, so you might not understand. A person¡¯s experience is limited, and it¡¯s better to learn one thing than to learn many things. You¡¯re now practicing the sword, refining your body, and refining pills. When will you be able to cultivate?¡± Dong Xi frowned and said with confidence, ¡°I¡¯m going to cultivate at night!¡± Ever since she had transmigrated, Dong Xi had discovered that her cultivation speed during the day was too slow. It was a waste of time to just sit there. ¡°If you only practice at night, there won¡¯t be enough time,¡± Li Li said. ¡°You¡¯re so weak.¡± As he spoke, Li Li seemed to have thought of something. He checked Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation and eximed, ¡°Qi Refinement stage, fourth level?!¡± The words that he had wanted to preach were swallowed back. If Li Li remembered correctly, the Ningtian Sect had only epted a new disciplest year. If he counted, this girl had only been cultivating for a little more than a year? Li Li thought of how he had shamelessly boasted that Xiao Yanai had three spirit roots. Fortunately, he did not say it to outsiders. Otherwise, Li Li would have to find a crack in the ground and bury himself in it. This little girl could cultivate so quickly with three spirit roots. If she only had one spiritual root, wouldn¡¯t she be able to fly? Dong Xi was not surprised at all that Li Li could see through her cultivation. After all, as an elder of destiny Valley, his cultivation could not be low. Dong Xi said indifferently, ¡°That¡¯s right, the fourth level of Qi Refinement.¡± Li Li was thinking about what he should say, but if he said what was in his heart, it would seem that he was ignorant. Li Li could only remain silent. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Is there anything else, Daoist Master Li Li?¡± Daoist Master Li Li waved the fan in his hand to suppress theplex emotions in his heart. He then said lightly, ¡°no need to address me like that, just call me Senior Brother.¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°You and Master are both elders. ording to the rules, I have to call you Martial Uncle.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t say that,¡± Li Li shook his head and said, ¡°Your master is almost 500 years older than me! I can¡¯t afford to be your Martial Uncle.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She did not expect her master to be so old. She really didn¡¯t understand how seniority was calcted in the cultivation world. Dong Xi came back to her senses, cupped her fists, and said, ¡°Senior Brother Li Li!¡± ¡°Senior Brother, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go to the alchemy room to refine pills. Help yourself!¡± After saying that, Dong Xi used the Ground Bending skill that she had just learned not long ago and walked 70 feet away. Li Li immediately followed and said, ¡°Junior Sister, wait a moment, I¡¯ll go too, I¡¯ve never seen anyone else refining pills before.¡± Dong Xi had a headache and could not stop him, so she could only let Li Li follow him. Refining pills was a very boring thing. As long as she ignored Li Li, the old man would not stay in the alchemy room for long, right? After not seeing Li Li for a few days, Master Lingxu called a disciple over and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Immortal Master Li Li?¡± ¡°Daoist Master Li Li has been watching Junior Sister Dong Xi refining pills these days!¡± The disciple said. Master Lingxu frowned. He suddenly had a feeling that someone was going to snatch his beloved disciple away! No, he had to go and take a look. Just at this time, Dong Xi¡¯s medicinal pill came out of the furnace. Dong Xi had gone through the pill refining process countless times, and he didn¡¯t even need to look at it before directly storing the pill into a porcin bottle. Li Li¡¯s nose twitched and he immediately said, ¡°Wait!¡± Dong Xi had already put the pill pill into the porcin bottle. He stopped the movement of his hand and turned his head to look at Li Li. ¡°Senior Brother, do you have any advice?¡± asked Dong Xi. Chapter 141 - 141 Do You Want to Learn Divination? 141 Do You Want to Learn Divination? Li Li looked at the porcin bottle in Dong Xi¡¯s hand, as if he wanted to see the pill inside through the porcin bottle. He asked in shock, ¡°All of these are top-grade Spirit Restore Pill?¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°You can refine pills perfectly now?¡± Li Li was even more shocked. Dong Xi bit her lip and said with some embarrassment, ¡°These are all basic operations.¡± !! Li Li, ¡°?? ¡± In the past, Li Li did not feel that he was old, but why did he not understand the words of the young man now? Fortunately, Li Li was a Senior Brother, so it would not be embarrassing to ask. Li Li asked, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± ¡°The basic operation is that every disciple here can do it,¡± said Dong Xi with a low-profile expression. But why did her words sound soplicated? Li Li¡¯s feelings were extremelyplicated and indescribable. Looking at the little girl in front of him, Li Li wanted to say something, but he couldn¡¯t. After a few times, he finally asked, ¡°Xiaoxi, do you want to learn fortune-telling? Divination?¡± Only mediocre people would specialize in one. A true genius would do well in everything they learned. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Of course, if she wanted to learn! In her previous life, she even went to fortune-telling to scry her luck before the exam! However, it was a little awkward. Dong Xi looked at Li Li and said with embarrassment, ¡°Senior Brother, I do want to learn, but¡­ Isn¡¯t your divinity inurate?¡± If it was in the past, Dong Xi¡¯s words would have been able to affect Li Li¡¯s Dao Heart. However, after being provoked by Dong Xi several times, Li Li did not care about such a small attack anymore. As long as Li Li admitted his failure, no one would be able to use this to attack him! Li Li sat on the ground calmly and picked up his fan again. Li Li smiled and said, ¡°I won¡¯t allow it now, but I know all the ways of Fortune-telling. I¡¯ll teach you, so can¡¯t you just perform divinity yourself?¡± Dong Xi waved her hand, and the cauldron lid flew back to the cauldron. Then, she looked at Li Li. Dong Xi cupped her fists and said, ¡°Senior Brother, please teach me!¡± He couldn¡¯t teach Dong Xi the cultivation techniques of Destiny Valley, but the six elements and eight trigrams were traditional divination techniques, so it did not matter if he taught them to Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s own cultivation technique was also an extremely powerful eight-nine cultivation technique, which did not conflict with divination. Li Li immediately said, ¡°The number of heavenly fate is 50, and its use is 49, which is divided into two segments¡­¡± Dong Xi heard Li Li¡¯s words and suddenly realized that this seemed to be ¡®probability theory¡¯? ording to Li Li¡¯s exnation, the great yang was three-sixteenth, the great yin was one-sixteenth, and so on. This meant that the luck and misfortune were basically half and half. After Li Li said so much, he looked up and saw that the little girl seemed to be distracted. Li Li sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. You don¡¯t really understand these things at your age. If you don¡¯t understand anything, tell me. I¡¯ll exin it to you again.¡± When Li Li first studied this, he did not understand it at all. In the end, Li Li only understood it after his master took out an item and demonstrated it many times. Dong Xi was a few years younger than Li Li back then, so she naturally did not understand. But just as Li Li finished speaking, Dong Xi came back to her senses and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother, please continue. I understand.¡± Li Li asked in disbelief, ¡°You really understand? Little girl, don¡¯t pretend to be clear just for the sake of your face.¡± ¡°Just continue, Senior Brother, I really understand,¡± said Dong Xi. Li Li continued to say that yin and yang would reverse for things, and things would reverse when they reached an extreme. When Dong Xi heard this, a look of realization appeared on her face. Li Li asked, ¡°You can really understand?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve exined it in great detail, Senior Brother. It¡¯s easy to understand,¡± said Dong Xi with a nod. Li Li did not know if Dong Xi really understood or if she was trying to save face by saying this. Li Li said, ¡°Since I¡¯ve made it clear, let me ask you. Next month, the Ningtian Sect will be having apetition. Do your calctions and see if you can enter the top ten.¡± When Dong Xi heard Li Li¡¯s words, she remembered that thepetition wasing soon. In the past few days, Dong Xi felt that she seemed to be about to break through again. If she sessfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refinement stage and entered the top ten, it should not be a problem, right? But these were all Dong Xi¡¯s conjectures. Now that Li Li asked Dong Xi to calcte it herself, Dong Xi had to do good divination! Dong Xi took out some papers from her storage ring. Li Li originally wanted to give Dong Xi a set of Oracle Bones, but when he saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, he asked doubtfully, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Dong Xi dipped the brush into some ink and said lightly, ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t panic. I¡¯ll be able to calcte it in a moment!¡± Li Li looked curiously at the symbols Dong Xi wrote on the paper that he could not understand at all, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. Chapter 142 - 142 How about I Acknowledge You as My Master? 142 How about I Acknowledge You as My Master? Li Li thought in his heart, this girl couldn¡¯t possibly be a talisman cultivator, right? Although it was not quite possible, Li Li felt that it was not strange for such a thing to happen to Dong Xi. As the saying goes, ¡®It is reasonable if it exists.¡¯ Dong Xi wrote an entire page, and on the top were Arabic numbers that only she could understand. Finally, she came to a conclusion. Dong Xi said, ¡± Senior Brother, ording to the divination, it¡¯s impossible for me to enter the top ten with my current cultivation base. However, it¡¯s not to this extent. Therefore, I¡¯ve done some divinations for thispetition. ording to my calctions, thispetition might not be able to be held!¡± !! Li Li, ¡°? ¡± This girl just casually wrote a few strokes on the paper, and she performed two divinations? Who was this girl? Was she really just a little girl? Li Li could not believe it. He took out the Oracle bone and began to calcte for a long time. Dong Xi was a little impatient from waiting. During this time, she had refined two furnaces of pills. Li Li finally stopped with aplicated expression and muttered to himself, ¡°It¡¯s true¡­¡± Was this really the girl¡¯s first time learning fortune-telling? When Dong Xi saw Li Li stop, she immediately asked, ¡°Senior Brother, are you done? Did I calcte it correctly?¡± As she spoke, Dong Xi began to form seals and congeal her core. Li Li looked at Dong Xi¡¯s small movements and said in shock, ¡°You¡¯re saying that you can be distracted while refining pills?!¡± ¡°I can multitask,¡± said Dong Xi indifferently. She did not feel any pressure at all. Li Li continued to ask shamelessly and asked in confusion, ¡°What¡¯s ¡®multitask¡¯?¡± Dong Xi put all the refined pills into a porcin bottle, took out a nk Jade slip, and copied the basicw of ¡®two minds at the same time¡¯. Then, she threw it to Li Li and said, ¡°This is it. I¡¯ll give it to you. You teach me divination, and I¡¯ll teach you how to do two things at once. We¡¯re even!¡± No one could reject the beauty of multitasking. After all, a person¡¯s energy was limited. If one could multitask, it would save a lot of trouble. Li Li kept the jade slip and decided to learn it when he had time in the future. He had to ask what Dong Xi had written just now. Li Li was more interested in the symbols that he could not understand. ¡°Junior Sister, what did you just write?¡± asked Li Li. ¡°Can you tell me? You calcted so much faster than I did!¡± ¡°No!¡± Dong Xi shook her head and casually said, ¡°This is my unique secret manual. I can¡¯t teach it to others!¡± ¡°That¡¯s a pity!¡± Said Li Li with some disappointment. It was not that Dong Xi did not want to teach Li Li, but she had to start with basic mathematics, which could not be learned in a few days. Just as Dong Xi was about to say that She would teach him slowly after all the debts were paid off, Li Li suddenly said, ¡°How about I acknowledge you as my master? If you teach it to your own disciple, does that mean it¡¯s not considered an external teaching?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?? ¡± For the sake of learning mathematics, he had to do this? ¡°No, it can¡¯t be like this, right?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was stiff. The fan in Li Li¡¯s hand had also been put away. He cupped his fists to Dong Xi and said, ¡°The ancients once said that if three people walk together, there must be a teacher. If I can learn this method, I can even kowtow three times and bow nine times!¡± It couldn¡¯t be helped, he was so eager to learn. Dong Xi would not really take Li Li as a disciple, so she avoided Li Li¡¯s bow and said, ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t have to do this. My method is nothing. If you really want to learn, I can teach you.¡± ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t let you teach me for nothing,¡± Li Li said with a smile. Only then did Dong Xi mention the divination from before. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Senior Brother, was my divination correct?¡± ¡°It¡¯s correct. It seems that your sect can¡¯t hold thepetition this time,¡± said Li Li seriously. At first, Dong Xi was very happy. She had just finished learning and he was already able to calcte it correctly. However, on second thought, if thepetition could not be held, would Ke Xin be unable to enter the inner sect? Furthermore, something that could affect thepetition must be something very important. Dong Xi could faintly feel the calm before the storm! As Dong Xi was thinking about this, her hands did not stop at all. She refined two more furnaces of medicinal pills. now, Dong Xi¡¯s alchemy was no different from an assembly line. Dong Xi refined pills during the day and began to meditate and cultivate at night. Li Li, who had always been free and unruly, was influenced by Dong Xi and followed her to meditate and cultivate for three days. Li Li was very surprised when he meditated this time. The bottleneck that had been bothering him for a long time showed signs of loosening. Although he was happy, Li Li still asked doubtfully, ¡°Although Immortal cultivation is a heaven-defying cultivation, don¡¯t you feel particrly tired by not sleeping or resting like this?¡± Chapter 143 - 143 Death in the Tomb of Life 143 Death in the Tomb of Life Dong Xi looked at Li Li in surprise. She did not expect Li Li to ask such a question. Dong Xi said calmly, ¡°Even if a thousand insects die, a day passes nheless. We cultivators may have about a thousand years of life, but in the eyes of demon beasts, isn¡¯t it only a few days? You also know that Immortal cultivation is a heaven-defying cultivation. Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t you work hard? After all, if you don¡¯t advance, you¡¯ll fall behind!¡± When Li Li heard this, it was as if he had been hit in the head. He only came back to his senses after a long time, and the way he looked at Dong Xi also gradually changed. Li Li could not help but sigh. ¡°Junior Sister, you have such awareness at such a young age. It really makes me blush with shame. I¡¯ve really lived my hundreds of years in vain!¡± !! Dong Xi did not expect that she would seed in acting tough again. She looked at Li Li in surprise. Sure enough, the world of Immortal cultivators did not care about looks like his previous life. Here, any young man who looked very young could be older than Dong Xi¡¯s ancestors! Dong Xi¡¯s expression was serious as she tried to correct her twisted form of address. Dong Xi said, ¡°Why don¡¯t I just call you Martial Uncle!¡± Li Li: ¡°?¡± Why couldn¡¯t he praise her? You still want to change the topic? How could this be?! Li Li said with some hidden bitterness, ¡°Junior Sister, are you looking down on my old age?¡± Dong Xi did not dare to say this directly and immediately said, ¡°Senior Brother, how can you be old? In the world of cultivators, you are considered young. You can¡¯t undervalue yourself like this!¡± The hidden bitterness on Li Li¡¯s face lessened a little. He said, ¡°I¡¯ve gained a lot from being with Junior Sister these few days. Just now, Junior Sister¡¯s words woke me up from my dream. I¡¯vee to a realization and need to go into seclusion to cultivate for a while.¡± Hearing Li Li¡¯s words, Dong Xi was overjoyed. She could finally cultivate alone for a while! Previously, it was fortunate that Li Liwan knew to leave in the evening. Otherwise, Dong Xi¡¯s did not even know where to hide. ¡°I wish you all the best in advance, Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi immediately with cupped fists. After watching Li Li leave, Dong Xicai took out a piece of paper again and started to write and calcte. If the tournament could not proceed as nned, Ke Xin would have to stay in the outer sect for a longer period of time. the difference between the inner and outer sect was huge. It was not just the resource merchants but also the cultivation techniques. This was not a good thing for Ke Xin. Dong Xi used the skill she had just learned to read Ke Xin¡¯s fortune. ording to the divination, there would be some gossip while waiting. As long as Ke Xin appraised it, there would not be any major issues. Dong Xi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking of the inner tank in her Dantian, she suddenly had a sh of inspiration and directly calcted the great snake¡¯s fortune. However, this divination was very strange. At first, it was calcted that something good would happen in the next two days, but it seemed that someone was interfering, and the divination became messy. The more she calcted, the more unclear it was. Could it be that she had not learned it yet, so it was only right that she could not calcte it properly? At this moment, Su Cheng, who was standing in the valley, looked at the sky and asked, ¡°Is it Destiny Valley?¡± Those fortune-tellers from Destiny Valley always wanted to find out where he was. Now that his inner core was still in that girl¡¯s body, they could be considered to have confused the heaven¡¯s secrets. However, this time, Destiny Valley had found him. It was even more effective than a dog¡¯s nose. It made him want to get rid of Destiny Valley! Su Cheng stepped on the spirit vein that the Zhang family bought and said, ¡°Using the spirit vein to seal that Huan Ye is really a waste of God¡¯s gift!¡± The snake tail knocked on the barrier a few times, and Huan Ye opened his blood-red eyes. After seeing who it was, his face was filled with anger, and a thick demonic Qi spread out. Huan Ye said fiercely, ¡°You actually still dare toe?¡± Su Cheng looked down at Huan Ye, his eyes locked on to him like he was his prey. ¡°Is there anything I don¡¯t dare to do?¡± With a casual wave of his tail, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the surroundings, and the Huan Ye let out a painful roar. Huan Ye roared, ¡°If you have the ability, let me out! All you do is stand there and rely on a human¡¯s barrier and seal!¡± With killing intent in his eyes, he stood on the barrier and casually extracted the spirit vein. The enchantment that had been operating on the spirit vein also had a w. The vibration of spiritual Qi could be felt within a thousand miles of the valley. The Ningtian Sect was the first to know about this news. The Master of the Ningtian Sect, Wei Nan, asked again in disbelief, ¡°What? You¡¯re saying that someone broke the seal on Huan Ye?¡± The disciple did not dare to hide anything and immediately said, ¡°Sect Master, it¡¯s absolutely true. ording to the news sent back by the disciples who went to investigate, the entire mountain range is filled with demonic Qi. They were about to activate the protective shield to go in and investigate, but they couldn¡¯tst more than 15 minutes!¡± Chapter 144 - 144 Any Casualties? 144 Any Casualties? Wei Nan frowned and asked with a dark expression, ¡°Are there any casualties?¡± ¡°Three ninth level Qi Refinement disciples died, but nothing happened to the Foundation Establishment disciples and above,¡± the disciple replied. ¡°If these three disciples still have rtives alive,¡± Wei Nan said, ¡°give each of their family members a Rejuvenation Pill. Also, those disciples who are in a hurry and above the Golden Core stage, as long as they don¡¯t have any tasks at the moment, immediately rush over!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi refined a few more cauldrons of medicinal pills. There were still 38 years to go before her debt to Second Senior Brother would be paid off! Dong Xi had just gotten up to move her body when a bell rang from within the sect. Dong Xi had read the rules of the sect. Something big must have happened when the bell rang. Dong Xi¡¯s expression changed. Could it be that she had really predicted this? Just what kind of major event could make the sect postpone the great tournament? Dong Xi put away his bag and walked out of his room. People from the surrounding pill refining rooms also came out from time to time to inquire about news. Dong Xi had just walked into the courtyard when he realized that many people had alreadye out. A scroll appeared in the sky and it was slowly opening. The words on it jumped into the clouds. This was the sect leader¡¯s order. There were two messages. First, all disciples above the gold core realm must immediately receive ten bottles of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills and head to the Illusionary Valley. Second, inform the sect disciples that the sectpetition has been postponed. I hope that the sect disciples will not forget their original aspirations and continue to cultivate. ¡°Illusionary Valley?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. Dong Xi guessed in her heart. Could it be that t demonic beast that had been sealed previously had once againe out to stir up trouble? However, Dong Xi still did not understand. Thest time, only four Senior Brothers at the Golden Core stage went to seal it. Why did so many people need to go this time? It was as if they were sending all the people of the sect there. Dong Xi had been more interested in fortune-telling these two days, so she subconsciously took out a piece of paper and began to do it. But a momentter, Dong Xi looked at the results of her divination and began to think again. ¡°Everything went smoothly?¡± Dong Xi was puzzled. ¡°How did this happen?¡± Dong Xi could not understand, and she did not expect that the incident that shook the entire sect was actually caused by the great snake. Huan Ye had also expected that this stinky snake would actually let him go. Huan Ye stepped on the demonic Qi and soared into the sky. He raised his head and let out a long roar. He was extremely arrogant. Everyone within a hundred miles could hear his roar, including those disciples of the condensing heaven gate who were guarding the periphery. The disciples of the Ningtian Sect started to discuss. ¡°As expected, that demon beast ran out! Didn¡¯t the sect just send people to seal it?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°This demon can only be sealed, but can not be killed! They might have even more powerful abilities, but we don¡¯t know!¡± Su Cheng did not stop the demonic Qi. Huan Ye walked on the air and stopped in front of Su Cheng. He bared his teeth and drooled on the ground, emitting white smoke. ¡°You idiot!¡± Huan Ye said provocatively. ¡°Back then, Ningtian had only sealed me. You¡¯re just a snake demon who has been here for a thousand years. How dare you disrespect this Demon King!¡± Su Cheng raised his head and patted his shoulder. A green light shed on his body. The surroundings of Su Cheng seemed to be a vacuum. The demonic Qi automatically avoided Su Cheng! ¡°Oh?¡± Su Cheng faintly said. ¡°How do you know that I can¡¯t do what that old man in the Ningtian Sect can¡¯t do? You¡¯re just a stupid dog. This low-level demonic Qi has a stinky smell. It¡¯s really disgusting!¡± When had Huan Ye ever suffered such humiliation? He roared in anger, ¡°Stinky snake, you¡¯re looking for death!¡± Huan Ye moved, his speed extremely fast. This sky full of demonic Qi was also Huan Ye¡¯s best protective color. However, as soon as Huan Ye appeared in front of Su Cheng, he was immediately whipped away by a huge snake tail. Huan ye crashed onto the ground, not knowing why that green spiritual energy was so powerful, almost scattering the demonic energy on Huan Ye¡¯s body. Huan Ye roared in anger. This sound made the disciples of the Ningtian Sect cover their ears immediately to prevent themselves from being bewitched by the Demon King. Looking at Huan Ye, who had suddenly be a hundred feet tall, heughed in disdain, ¡°You¡¯ve been sealed for so many years, but you still haven¡¯t learned how to be a good dog. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m in a good mood today, so I¡¯ll kindly teach you again!¡± The golden color in Su Cheng¡¯s eyes became more and more intense. Just Huan Ye was about to rush up, the surrounding air seemed to have be a wall. Spatial Law?! Huan Ling was surprised. Su Cheng did not have the patience to talk nonsense. His snake tail whipped at Huan Ye with the power of thunder. Most of Huan Ling¡¯s demonic Qi was scattered. Huan Ye wanted to fight back, only to find that he was trapped in the air, unable to move. Chapter 145 - 145 The Laws of Heaven and Earth 145 The Laws of Heaven and Earth He did not even have enough demonic Qi to cast spells. This snake was so strange. He was clearly just a poisonous snake, but it could use Spatial Laws and the power of lightning? What was the cultivation level of this venomous snake? He could not see through it at all! Su Cheng looked into the distance and sensed someoneing. He whispered, ¡°How reliable. You¡¯re going to die so soon.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Su Cheng¡¯s hands formed a seal. His movements were so fast that only afterimages could be seen. The Spatial Cage that trapped Huan Ye shrank bit by bit, squeezing toward Huan Ye. ¡°So what if we¡¯re demons?¡± Su Cheng asked. ¡°So what if they are humans? Since you exist in the world, you must abide by thews of the world. Even if you can use demonic Qi to regenerate your flesh, I want to see if you can recover this time!¡± As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, his palm slowly clenched into a fist. The Spatial Cage could not withstand the pressure and directly exploded, turning the space into fragments. Huan Yes within also followed these fragments into the long river of space. ¡°He¡¯s really weak,¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. Su Cheng took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his fingers. Looking at the entrance of the Illusionary Valley again, he turned around and flew in another direction. As Su Cheng walked past, the surrounding demonic qi disappeared. The sun in the sky once again shone into the valley as if nothing had happened. Only the withered nts on the ground told him what had happened here. A disciple ran back to the entrance of the valley and said, ¡°Brothers! The demonic Qi inside has dissipated!¡± ¡°What?¡± another person asked. ¡°It dissipated? Huan Ye has already run away?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± the disciple from before said. ¡°But we¡¯ve been waiting here all this time. We didn¡¯t see anythinge out!¡± A disciple with a higher cultivation level said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go report to the Sect Master first!¡± ¡­ Hearing this news, Wei Nan frowned and asked in confusion, ¡°The demonic Qi has dissipated?¡± The reporting disciple said, ¡°That¡¯s right. The sect disciples just went in to check and found traces of a fight. But we don¡¯t know where Huan Ye went. It¡¯s as if she disappeared into thin air. There¡¯s not even a corpse.¡± Wei Nan could not figure it out either, so he asked the Sect Master of Destiny Valley to check it out. This Huan Ye was very powerful. Back then, Lord Ningtian was already at the Mahayana stage, and his sword technique was even more powerful, but he still could not kill Huan Ye. Wei Nan did not believe that Huan Ye was dead. Maybe he had run off somewhere? Before the Wei Nan people could go over, the disciples of the Ningtian Sect came to report again. ¡°Sect Master! The spirit vein in the Illusionary Valley has been taken away!¡± When Wei Nan heard this, he wasn¡¯t too shocked. If Huan Ye had run away, how could he not have taken the spirit vein with him? After living for so many years, Huan Ye couldn¡¯t be a stupid dog! ¡°You guys stay here,¡± Wei Nan said. ¡°I and the sect Master of Destiny Valley will rush over immediately.¡± Dong Xi refined pills until evening before taking out the jade slip and looking at the square. Only then did she know that something big had happened. The demon in the Illusionary Valley had escaped and taken away the spirit vein! For a time, the entire cultivation world was in a state of panic. All the major sects and families told their disciples not to go out and travel. Everyone was trying to find out if anyone had already died at the hands of the demon race, but up until now, not a single one had died. Only three disciples of the Ningtian Sect had been invaded by demonic Qi during their investigation and had unfortunately died. Dong Xi touched her chin. No wonder her previous divination had said that everything was going smoothly. The demon race had escaped. Of course, there would not be any danger. However, she did not know where this demon had run off to. If she ran into the demon, she would basically be in trouble. Dong Xi saw that the sky was already dark, so she put away her alchemy furnace and nned to return to her cave abode. Now, the alchemy room had the earth fire drawn in by the sect, so the spiritual power had decreased a lot. However, one still had to return to the cave abode to cultivate. The matter of Dong Xi¡¯s spirit body had to be kept a secret for the time being. But this time, as soon as Dong Xi opened the seal of the Immortal¡¯s cave, she discovered that something was different. Why did the spiritual Qi in the Immortal¡¯s cave suddenly be denser? Could it be that Master could not bear to see his little disciple cultivating the inner scroll every day and specially came over to change it to a better Spirit-gathering Array? Dong Xi had also been to her master¡¯s Immortal¡¯s cave before, but it didn¡¯t have such dense spirit Qi. Dong Xi entered the room and saw that the bed was upied by a man. The huge snake tail was hanging by the side of the bed. Even if this person turned into ashes, Dong Xi would never forget him. Songsong, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was thrown onto the futon. She hugged her tail and continued sleeping. But she looked so pitiful that one could not help but want to hug her! Chapter 146 - 146 You’re Back? 146 You¡¯re Back? Dong Xi looked at the extremely familiar figure in front of her and said, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Dong Xi knew that the snake was awake now. ording to her past experience, it was impossible to walk over now. As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Su Cheng turned around and supported his head with his hand. His ck hair fell down the bed to the ground. Su Cheng could only curl his tail up. !! He said softly, ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s figure was reflected in his dark golden vertical pupils. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a few days, and you¡¯ve grown a little taller,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. She¡¯s still so short that she¡¯s barely enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. Of course, he could not say thest sentence. This little girl had a sharp tongue. If she heard thest sentence, she might even charge him consultation fees. When Dong Xi heard Su Cheng¡¯s words, she was a little happier. Although it was good to be young, her body was too young. Her arms and legs were thin, and doing anything would be a little strenuous. It would be best if she was taller! She was happy, but there were some things that she should be clear about. Dong Xi asked, ¡°I just came back and found that the spiritual Qi here is much denser. Did you do it?¡± Su Cheng nodded as if he did not care. Dong Xi originally thought that Su Cheng just made a new array for the cave adobe. Su Cheng said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll leave a small section of the spirit vein in your mountain.¡± He had originally wanted to leave the entire spirit vein behind, but Dong Xi¡¯s cave adobe was only a small mountain in the entire mountain range, and it could not hold such arge spirit vein. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s a spirit vein!¡± Dong Xi nodded. As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Xi came back to her senses. Her eyes widened as she looked at the snake in shock. Dong Xi said in surprise, ¡°What? A spirit vein? Where did you get this spirit vein?¡± ¡°I picked one up when I came back,¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. Dong Xi suddenly thought of something, and her expression became even more shocked. ¡°The spirit vein in the Illusionary Valley?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. Su Cheng nodded, and Dong Xi immediately fell silent. After a while, she asked, ¡°What about the demon in the Illusionary Valley?¡± Thest time, Dong Xi and Ke Xin had almost died there. ¡°He¡¯s already dead,¡± Su Cheng said. When Dong Xi heard this, she could not help but walk up and ask, ¡°You killed him?¡± Su Cheng raised his head and looked at Dong Xi. His eyes seemed to be mocking as he said, ¡°Who else could it be? I don¡¯t think anyone in the entire Ningtian Sect can kill that demon.¡± The doubts that had troubled him for two days were suddenly all cleared up. Dong Xi finally knew why everything had gone smoothly ording to her calctions. It was because the demon had already died at the hands of the great snake. Dong Xi frowned. She knew that the snake¡¯s cultivation was very high, and it was even more powerful than her master¡¯s. However, she never dared to imagine that the great snake would be so powerful. The great snake¡¯s inner core was still in Dong Xi¡¯s body, and his injuries had yet to recover. Even so, he had still easily killed that demon. Dong Xi also knew that if the great snake wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as stepping on a bug, right? Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi¡¯s expression changed so quickly that it was no different from the weather. ¡°Come, treat me,¡± Su Cheng said. Dong Xi recalled the time when she had first picked up the great snake. The great snake looked like it was on the verge of death. She could not help but sigh inwardly. To be able to severely injure the great snake, how strong was that person? Dong Xi carefully walked over and ced her hands on his tail. After thinking for a moment, she could not help but ask, ¡°My spiritual power is weak, can I cure you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s better than nothing,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. Su Cheng¡¯s tail was covered in wounds, and there was an electric arc between his skin and flesh. This lightning arc was left behind by Su Cheng¡¯s resistance to the Lightning Tribtion. Su Cheng was also a powerful person. He even dared to use the remaining power of the divine Tribtion Lightning toprehend. Dong Xi heard Su Cheng¡¯s words and thought that it made sense. Although the spiritual power was very little, it was much better than Su Cheng slowly recovering by himself. Dong Xi pressed her hand on Su Cheng¡¯s tail and used wood spiritual Qi to nourish Su Cheng¡¯s wound. The pain in Su Cheng¡¯s body slowly dissipated as Dong Xi injected spiritual Qi bit by bit. His tightly furrowed brows also rxed at this time. Su Cheng looked at the little girl by his bed, focusing on his treatment. ¡°From now on, don¡¯t allow anything else to lie on my bed,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. Dong Xi immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at the overbearing snake. ¡°This is my bed!¡± Dong Xi said, unconvinced. ¡°It¡¯s not yours!¡± Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi was a little angry and smiled. He waved his hand and removed the camouge on the bed. Chapter 147 - 147 Whose Bed Is This? 147 Whose Bed Is This? Dong Xi was stunned. The ordinary stone bed in front of him suddenly turned illusionary. Then, a green light shed, and the bed turned into a ck ice bed. ¡°Did you see clearly now?¡± Su Cheng asked faintly. ¡°Whose bed is this?¡± Dong Xi rubbed her eyes and turned around to look at the other things in the room. The originally ordinary cave seemed to have changed. Even the stone walls and floor had changed. Even the tables and chairs had changed into materials that Dong Xi could not recognize. They were all ck. The only things that had not changed were the futon and Songsong. ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, this should be my territory, right?¡± asked Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng with dissatisfaction, silentlyining with her eyes! ¡°Don¡¯t be so stingy,¡± Su Cheng said with a scornful smile. ¡°In return, I¡¯ll give you a small section of the spirit vein on the mountain-top of this cave.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, all his dissatisfaction and unhappiness instantly disappeared. She asked in surprise, ¡°Ah? You¡¯re giving me this small section of the spirit vein?¡± Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi immediately revealed a smile and said, ¡°You should have said so earlier! There¡¯s no need to cause such a misunderstanding, right? Even if you asked me to sleep in the courtyard, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem, let alone changing some furniture!¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s appearance and a strange look shed in his eyes. He smiled and said lightly, ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, I must respect your decision. From today on, you can live in the courtyard!¡± Dong Xi was shocked. What the hell? She was just being polite, could he not tell? Or could it be that in the cultivation world, the higher one¡¯s cultivation level, the more shameless one would be? Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s deted expression, Su Cheng asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re not willing to?¡± Dong Xi did not dare to say no and immediately said, ¡°No, why wouldn¡¯t I be willing? I¡¯ll get out of here right now!¡± Dong Xi turned around and was about to go out, but before she could take a few steps, she was wrapped by the snake¡¯s tail and brought in front of Su Cheng. ¡°You run very fast,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°You took my money, so you have to treat me well!¡± With that, Su Cheng¡¯s tail loosened, and Dong Xi immediately fell to the ground. With Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation, she immediately used her spiritual energy to protect herself the moment he fell from mid-air. Dong Xi knew that if she did not treat the snake¡¯s injuries today, he would not let her go. Dong Xi resigned herself to her fate and sat in front of the snake, her hands pressing on Su Cheng¡¯s tail. The wood spiritual energy wrapped around the wound on his tail. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual energy fought to enter the wound, and only when thest drop of spiritual energy in her body disappeared did she stand up. Looking at the snake who was restingfortably on the bed, Dong Xi felt endless motivation in her heart. I have to cultivate properly! One day, when my cultivation level increased, I would also get this stupid snake to serve me! Although she was very proud in her heart, she still had to be submissive in reality. ¡°I¡¯m going out,¡± said Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi sneaked into the courtyard. It did not matter if the cave abode was given to the great snake. After all, the great snake had given half of the spirit vein as rent with a wave of its hand. What was there to be unhappy about? Just as she was about to go out and cultivate, Su Cheng suddenly shouted, ¡°Wait a moment!¡± Dong Xi stopped and turned around to look at the snake. She saw a ck bead being thrown at her. Dong Xi immediately reached out to catch it, but she found that the bead stopped just as it was about to reach her hand. Dong Xi was puzzled. Was he not going to give it to her? You were going to give it to me just now, and now you¡¯re going back on your word? The next second, Su Cheng said, ¡°I¡¯ve cleaned up the demonic Qi in this inner core. What do I need it for? You can y with it.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s voice had just fallen when the inner core flew directly in front of Dong Xi and instantly fell. Dong Xi immediately stretched out her hand, and it just so happened to fall into her hand. This inner core was the size of Dong Xi¡¯s palm and felt heavy. Only then did Dong Xi realize that this was the demon who had almost killed her and Ke Xin with his voice. It really was as the saying went, ¡®every dog has its day¡¯. Previously, Dong Xi had been injured by that demon, and now that fellow¡¯s inner core was in her hands. The great snake had mentioned demonic Qi just now, and she had remembered it. That guy was indeed a demon. Otherwise, why would the great snake say that it was demonic Qi? Dong Xi lowered her head and pondered. A gust of wind sent her out of the door. She had just steadied herself when Songsong flew out andnded directly on Dong Xi¡¯s face. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± How could this great snake be so petty?! It was fine to throw her out, but why did a little squirrel have to be thrown out too?! Seeing the stone door close, Dong Xi was not angry. There was no other reason other than the benefits that the great snake had given her! Chapter 148 - 148 Investigating 148 Investigating Dong Xi took a deep breath. The air here was filled with spiritual Qi. There was no mist at all. It was sofortable. Every cell in Dong Xi¡¯s body was stirred up. That was really satisfying! Dong Xi took out a praying mat from her storage ring. This thing was not worth anything at all. Thest time she went to the market, someone had sold it for a 75 percent discount. Dong Xi felt that it was cheap and bought a few more. Now, Dong Xi and Songsong were both here. !! It was a full moon tonight, and the moonlight seemed to have dyed the entire mountain silver. Dong Xi sat next to the red flowers. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he felt that the flowers seemed to be redder tonight. She tidied up her thoughts, cleared her mind of distracting thoughts, and quickly entered a meditative state. The night of cultivation wasfortable and smooth. Pure spiritual Qi washed through Dong Xi¡¯s meridians until the tempering waspleted, and she naturally broke through. The moment she broke through, the inner core in her Dantian was like a lonely boat, bobbing up and down in her Dantian. The purple spiritual Qi slowly entered the green inner core, and as if controlled by someone, it began to mend the cracks in the inner core. Su Cheng, who was in the cave, opened his eyes. After feeling for a moment, he went back to sleep. At daybreak, Dong Xi¡¯s speed of absorbing spiritual Qi became very slow, and she stopped as if she had not had enough. She stood up and stretched. There was still snoring beside him. Dong Xi looked at Songsong and felt that she seemed to be in an even deeper sleep. Now that Dong Xi had broken through, her alchemy speed had also increased. She could now multitask and even refine two furnaces of pills at the same time. ording to the development of the situation, in less than a month, the debt he owed to her Senior Brother would be paid off. Now, she had to hurry up and finish all of this, and then start on the path of body refinement that she had been thinking about! Dong Xi stood up and walked towards the alchemy room. At the same time, Wei Nan and the Sect Master of Destiny Valley had also arrived at Lingxu Peak. The demonic Qi that filled the area had long dissipated. Wei Nan looked at the Sect Master of Destiny Valley and said, ¡°How is it? can you find the source?¡± The sect Master of Destiny Valley nodded and took out a bronze mirror. This bronze mirror was the treasure of Destiny Valley, the Source-Seeking Mirror. When it was pointed at a certain ce, one could see what had happened in the past. Of course, the longer one could use the mirror, the stronger one¡¯s cultivation would be. However, this time, the Sect Master of Destiny Valley cast a spell three times in a row, but the mirror did not move at all. The mirror was filled with fog. He could not see what was going on inside at all. The Destiny Valley Sect Master realized that Wei Nan was looking at him. He shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, ¡°Someone must have blocked the heavenly secrets, so I can¡¯t find the source.¡± Wei Nan immediately frowned and said in disbelief, ¡°You can¡¯t find the source either?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my cultivation is too low!¡± The Sect Master of Destiny Valley could only say. ¡°You can¡¯t say that,¡± said Wei Nan immediately. ¡°We must have underestimated that big wolfdog!¡± The Sect Master of Destiny Valley sighed and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to other ces to see if we can find other clues.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Wei Nan nodded. The two of them patrolled Lingxu Peak and there seemed to be some traces of fighting, but they could not be sure if it was caused by the demon breaking out of the barrier. Soon, the disciples of the Ningtian Sect came back one after another. They all said that there was nothing wrong, and that the surrounding viges were not attacked. Just as Wei Nan was about to call out for the Sect Master, the Sect Master suddenly shouted, ¡°Sect Master Wei!¡± Wei Nan quickly turned around and saw the frowning sect master. he asked, ¡°Did you find something?¡± The Sect Master of Destiny Valley pointed at the broken barrier and said, ¡°Look at this. Why do I feel that this seems to have Su Cheng¡¯s spiritual Qi?¡± Wei Nan¡¯s expression changed instantly. If Su Cheng really saved that demon, with the two of them working together, the entire Immortal cultivation world would probably not have a good end! Wei Nan carefully examined the area and really sensed some traces of Su Cheng. Could it be that Su Cheng really came to release that demon? Wei Nan and the Sect Master of Destiny Valley looked at each other. The Sect Master of Destiny Valley said, ¡°Sect Master Wei, when I return to the sect, I¡¯ll start a new divination for the Eastern Continent. You should tell all the other sects about this so that they can be prepared.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you,¡± said Wei Nan immediately. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the rest.¡± ¡­ When Dong Xi went to the pharmacy to collect the materials, Ma Youcai called Dong Xi over and said in a low voice, ¡°Dong Xi, you can now perfectly concoct the Spirit Restore Pill. I know you¡¯re helping Song Qingfengplete his task, but it¡¯s too easy for you and a waste of time. You have to work hard on your cultivation. I¡¯ve asked the elder for a favor. The elder said that if you can concoct the Wind Speed Pill, one cauldron of those pills will be equivalent to two cauldrons of Spirit Restore Pills!¡± Chapter 149 - 149 Second-Tier Medicinal Pill 149 Second-Tier Medicinal Pill ¡°Wind Speed Pill?¡± Dong Xi asked in surprise. Dong Xi was already familiar with medicinal pills. The Wind Speed Pill was a second-tier medicinal pill. Although it was only one tier higher than the Spirit Restore Pill, the difficulty of this was multiplied. The Wind Speed Pill could increase one¡¯s speed after consumption. Many disciples liked to bring a few pills with them when they went out to train or to carry out sect missions. They could use them to save their lives during important times. Dong Xi frowned and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, ¡°Uncle-master, I know you mean well, but I have never refined a wind element pill before, and my cultivation is not high, I¡¯m afraid my sess rate is very low.¡± When Ma Youcai heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he smiled and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Everything is done slowly. No one knows how to do it right from the beginning. You can go and refine it now. The elder said that the first ten furnaces will be for you to practice. In the future, you only need to hand in 70 percent of the refinement.¡± The conditions were indeed not too harsh, and could even be said to be very preferential treatment. Dong Xi still asked, ¡°What if I only have three pills in one batch?¡± Ma Youcai saw through the little girl¡¯s thoughts with a nce and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s normal for the sess rate to be a little low at the beginning, but it can¡¯t be that low forever. Don¡¯t worry, the sect is such a big family business, it won¡¯t care about this at all.¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment. When she refined those Spirit Restore Pills, she kept 30 percent for himself and gave the remaining 70 percent to the sect. Although she still had to pay rent to her Senior Brother, in the end, Dong Xi profited. The sect had profited, and his Senior Brother had profited as well! Ordinary pill furnaces could not withstand her fire attribute spiritual energy. If she wanted to refine two furnaces at the same time, she would have to go to her Senior Brother and borrow another furnace. ¡°With your words, I can rest assured. This disciple will go and get the materials now to try.¡± Dong Xi cupped her fists to Ma Youcai. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s enthusiastic appearance, Ma Youcai also sighed. There was no time in Immortal cultivation. Immortal cultivators always did things at a steady pace. Only these new disciples who had just arrived would be so hardworking. He wondered how long this girl couldst. Dong Xi¡¯s n was very clear. She would first try out the Wind Speed Pill and see if it was difficult. When she was familiar with it, she would go and rent a pill furnace from Second Senior Brother! This time, Dong Xi stayed in the alchemy room for a full three months. Three months had passed, and when the young disciple who originally had a tight schedule went to exchange for medicinal pills, she discovered that the Wind Speed Pill that originally required 20 points to exchange for one actually only required 5 points now! One point could be exchanged for two low-grade spirit stones, and now ten low-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for a Wind Speed Pill? What was there to hesitate about when it was such a good thing? She had to switch immediately! When she went out on a mission, a Wind Speed Pill could be said to be a second life! Many disciples would exchange their points for it. ¡°Senior Sister Wang Ying, I want two!¡± ¡°Is this a big promotion? I want ten! In case it rises back up again after a period of time!¡± When everyone saw the price, they all rushed to exchange and stock up. Wang Ying also found it funny and immediately exined, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi has already said that she will ept alchemy missions when she has time. In the future, our sect should not becking in alchemical pills!¡± As soon as Wang Ying finished speaking, someone eximed, ¡°This is a top-grade Wind Speed Pill?!¡± In the past, everyone hade to exchange for low-grade Wind Speed Pills, and everyone had tacitly agreed to this price. Now, they only needed five points to exchange for a top-grade Wind Speed Pill? Who could resist such a temptation? The low-grade ones could only increase the speed for 15 minutes, but the top-grade ones could increase it for an hour, and the speed was much faster. This person¡¯s exmation made some of the hesitant people rush forward and shout. ¡°Give me 10!¡± ¡°I want 20!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi did not know that because of her, she had helped her fellow disciples save a lot of points. Dong Xi had been in the alchemy room for three whole months, refining pills all the time. She was simply a model of the alchemy sect! Three months had passed. Dong Xi had also paid off all the tasks assigned to her by her Second Senior Brother for the past 60 years. She had alsopleted her own tasks. After leaving the pill refining room, Dong Xi felt a little light-headed as she walked. This should be called a light body without debt, right? Su Cheng did not expect her to leave after letting her spend the night outside. Every night, she woulde back and meditate in the courtyard. Once the sun rose, she would immediately leave. In the past three months, the two of them had not seen each other. During this period, a man came to look for Dong Xi several times. Judging from his clothes, he should be from Destiny Valley. How did this girl have anything to do with Destiny Valley? On this day, Dong Xi finally returned to the cave abode. Moreover, she returned in broad daylight, which was really rare. Chapter 150 - 150 You Don’t Want the Spiritual Vein Anymore? 150 You Don¡¯t Want the Spiritual Vein Anymore? As soon as Dong Xi entered the courtyard, she went straight to the built nest. Dong Xi was not in the way, but Songsong was still in deep sleep. Even if it was in the courtyard, it should be able to shelter them from the wind and rain, right? Just as Dong Xi was about to sit down, a very familiar voice suddenly appeared in his mind and asked, ¡°You don¡¯t want this small section of the spirit vein?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and immediately ran towards the cave dwelling. Dong Xi said, ¡°I want it! Who wouldn¡¯t want that?¡± This was a spirit vein! No one could reject a spirit vein! !! She pushed open the stone door, and the inside of the cave abode returned to its original state. The ice bed was covered with fur at some point in time. It was unknown what demon beast it was, but it was extremelyfortable, making people want to pounce on it and roll around. A snake was actually enjoying life more than Dong Xi. Compared to the giant snake, Dong Xi was like an ascetic monk! The snake stood in the cave, its tail supporting its upper body. Dong Xi was only at the snake¡¯s waist. Su Cheng turned around and saw Dong Xi at the door. Although he could not see Dong Xi¡¯s expression, he could feel that Dong Xi was a little excited. Su Cheng frowned as if he was very distressed. He kept looking at Dong Xi and said, ¡°What should we do?¡± ¡°What do we do with what?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and asked. Su Cheng poured himself a cup of bejeweled nectar and slowly said, I¡¯m only giving you this small section of the spirit vein because you¡¯ve treated my injuries. But it seems like you don¡¯t care much about my injuries! Dong Xi suddenly panicked. During this period of time, she had only been thinking about how to pay off the debt, and when she got busy, she had forgotten about the snake. Dong Xi lowered her head and rubbed her hands back and forth before finally looking at Su Cheng¡¯s tail. With this look, Dong Xi did not care about being ashamed. Her expression changed greatly and she said in a panic, ¡°¡­ Quickly go back to bed!¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s mood change, Su Cheng could not continue threatening her. Dong Xi walked to the snake¡¯s side and squatted down on his tail. While checking his injuries, she said, ¡°You know there¡¯s a wound, but you still ran to the ground. There are so much bacteria on the ground, aren¡¯t you afraid of infection? There are no antibiotics in this ce. Even if you want to die, you can¡¯t do this!¡± Su Cheng was confused when he heard this. What bacteria? What is antibiotic? Su Cheng was confused. He could understand every word the girl said, but he di not know what she meant when he connected them. This little girl, who had no idea where she got the courage from, pushed Su Cheng¡¯s waist and walked towards the bed. However, Dong Xi¡¯s strength was so weak that it could be ignored. Su Cheng also wanted to see what tricks this girl had up her sleeve, so he followed Dong Xi¡¯s strength andy on the bed. Dong Xi grabbed the tip of Su Cheng¡¯s tail and pulled the part on the ground to the bed. Su Cheng¡¯s entire snake body was in a bad state. Dong Xi¡¯s palm was very hot, which made Su Cheng a little ufortable. The tip of Su Cheng¡¯s tail nimbly shook off Dong Xi¡¯s hand and then coiled up, hiding the tip of his tail that Dong Xi had just grabbed. Dong Xi looked at the tail that had coiled up into a lump and did not know where to start. She could only sigh softly. Looking at the huge snake, Dong Xi helplessly said, ¡°If you want me to treat you, you¡¯ll have to show me your wound, right?¡± Su Cheng looked into Dong Xi¡¯s clear eyes, trying to see if this girl had any bad intentions. After watching for a long time, Dong Xi¡¯s eyes felt sore. Su Cheng retracted his gaze, his tail gently swaying, revealing the wound on it. Dong Xi looked at his tail and the bleeding wound. She immediately frowned and asked, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it already much better before?¡± Thest time Su Cheng left, many of his wounds had healed, but his scales had not grown back. However, he did not bleed again. Dong Xi immediately recalled that the great snake had killed the demon of the Illusionary Valley. Could it be that the wound had opened again at that time? She was still thinking about what was going on when Su Cheng faintly said, ¡°I hurt it when I was walking.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°??¡± Could it be that Dong Xi really looked like a fool? Was she that easy to deceive? The bodies of demon beasts were all extremely strong. Even if a knife or a sword shed at it, it might not be able to hurt the snake-like demon beast. Moreover, the wounds on the snake¡¯s body were obviously not caused by walking. The tip of Dong Xi¡¯s nose twitched, and the smell of blood with a trace of burnt flesh instantly entered her nostrils. Dong Xi did not say anything else. Instead, she gathered wood spiritual energy in her hand and ced it on the snake¡¯s wound. Chapter 151 - 151 Even the Lightning Tribulation Can Temper the Body? 151 Even the Lightning Tribtion Can Temper the Body? Dong Xi¡¯s hand was on Su Cheng¡¯s tail, and her fingertips actually felt a trace of thunder and lightning, which made her fingers a little numb. Dong Xi kept injecting spiritual Qi into Su Cheng¡¯s body until her fingers could not bear it anymore. ¡°Why is there lightning in your body?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. ¡°Is that something you can ask?¡± Su Cheng frowned. !! ¡°Why not?¡± Dong Xi immediately replied. ¡°As your healer, I need to find the right solution, so I need to know what¡¯s going on!¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she took out the medicine she brought from the human world from her storage ring and sprinkled it evenly on Su Cheng¡¯s tail. Su Cheng saw Dong Xi applying the medicine. He knew it will not work, but he did not stop her. Su Cheng said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s the damage left behind by the Lightning Tribtion. It¡¯s normal for it to contain the power of lightning!¡± Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng in shock. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Lightning Tribtion? The reason you were injured was also because of the Lightning Tribtion?¡± Su Chengzily leaned on the bed with his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s question, Su Cheng nodded. Su Cheng thought that Dong Xi would be able to guess his true identity after hearing about the Lightning Tribtion. What could this little girl do? To report to her Master? Su Cheng did not think much of it. Dong Xi asked excitedly,¡±The Lightning Tribtion can temper the body?¡± Su Cheng was confused. In the past, Su Cheng thought that he had a lot of wild ideas, but ever since he met this little human girl, he realized that her ideas were even wilder. ¡°All cultivators can¡¯t wait to avoid the Lightning Tribtion, so how can they use it to temper their bodies?¡± Su Cheng frowned. Dong Xi did not know that the demonmander was actually a snake, and she did not think that this big snake that gave him some benefits was the demonmander Su Cheng. Dong Xi took out the pink cloak from before and wrapped Su Cheng¡¯s wound again, tying a beautiful bow. After doing all this, Dong Xi said to Su Cheng, look, there¡¯s still lightning here. The flesh is also much morepact than the other parts. As she spoke, Dong Xi even reached out to poke the ce where there was no wound. Su Cheng was a little unhappy and immediately retracted his bow-tied tail. Dong Xi poked the air and put down her hand awkwardly. She asked, ¡°So, the Lightning Tribtion can temper the body. Has anyone tried it before?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s words directly interrupted Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts. He said, ¡°Those with lightning spirit roots might be able to try, but you shouldn¡¯t think about it.¡± Although she heard Su Cheng say this, Dong Xi thought that maybe Su Cheng did not know anything. When she had time, she would go to the Library Pavilion to see if there were any records. ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll go to the Library Pavilion and flip through some books to find a way to help you get rid of the power of thunder and lightning in your wound,¡± said Dong Xi. She had wanted to trick the great snake so that he would not think about taking away the spirit vein. But Su Cheng immediately refused and said, ¡°No need. The power of thunder and lightning will be refined in a few days.¡± Although Su Cheng¡¯s words were simple, this sentence opened a new door for Dong Xi. So the power of lightning could be refined? Dong Xi wanted to try it when she started her tribtion in the future. Aftering out of the cave, Dong Xi sat on a futon and took out the body-tempering cultivation technique given by the great snake from her storage ring. After reading it carefully, Dong Xi suddenly fell silent. In her previous life, people would even wish for the deliveryman to ce their food on the table. However, this cultivation method actually required them to walk 30 miles quickly with weights every day? After that, she would take a medicinal bath when she was especially tired. Only then could she slowly increase her body¡¯s upper limit. The materials for the medicinal bath were easy to obtain. They were allmon and could be exchanged with points. However, walking 30 miles with weights on was shocking. Dong Xi looked at her thin arms and legs. If she followed this standard, she would not be able to refine her body. She would be crippled at the age of 20! Forget it, the road has to be taken step by step, body refinement also has to be done bit by bit. Dong Xi first went to the Mission Hall and used her points to exchange for some necessary medicinal herbs. Then, she went to the outer sect dining hall and took the top-grade Spirit Restore Pill and exchanged it for arge iron pot with the kitchen manager. After boiling the water in the iron pot, Dong Xi tied up her hair, turned around, and wanted to run down the mountain quickly. Today, I¡¯ll go back and forth three times. By the time Dong Xi ran up the mountain for thest time, her clothes were already drenched as if he had fallen into water. Her scattered hair was stuck to her face, and she was panting heavily. Although her body had been cleansed by spiritual energy and was tougher than before, it was still very tiring to run three rounds up and down the mountain! Chapter 152 - 152 What Do You Want to Do? 152 What Do You Want to Do? Dong Xi took out the bath barrel that she had prepared earlier and poured the boiled water and medicinal herbs into the bath barrel with her spirit power. She then added some cold water from the pond at the side. After she was done, Dong Xi dragged her exhausted body and climbed in. With a ¡®plop¡¯, Dong Xi flipped over. The clothes on her body floated gently on the water¡¯s surface. The warm water temperature and the medicinal effect began to soothe the soreness in her body. Dong Xi took a deep breath and buried her head in the water. The entire mountain was covered by Su Cheng¡¯s divine sense, so he knew all of Dong Xi¡¯s actions. !! At first, when he saw Dong Xi going up and down the mountain, Su Cheng was a little confused. Later, when she saw the little girl boiling water and boiling medicine, she knew what the little girl wanted to do. However, human cubs were so weak. They were already exhausted from just three trips. They really needed to train properly. Su Cheng had just closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. No, something was very wrong. Why was the little girl not breathing at all? This human cub could not possibly be so stupid as to drown in a bath, right? This was the first time he had seen such a thing since the creation of the world. With a thought, Su Cheng instantly appeared next to Dong Xi¡¯s bathtub. Su Cheng did not hesitate and immediately reached out to pick Dong Xi up. The water soaked Su Cheng¡¯s sleeves. The fabric stuck to Su Cheng¡¯s arm, outlining the perfect lines. Dong Xigang felt as if her body was being nourished by the medicine. In the next second, she was instantly stunned. She was suddenly exposed to the air. Dong Xi opened her eyes in confusion and looked around. She saw a pair of vertical pupils. Dong Xi almost cried out in shock. When she came back to her senses, she realized that he had been pulled out by therge snake. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± asked Dong Xi, puzzled. Fortunately, she was too tired when she went in just now and did not even bother to take off her clothes. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t she be naked now? Dong Xi¡¯s face would bepletely gone! Su Cheng looked serious and said, ¡°You weren¡¯t breathing just now.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Could it be that the snake had a stress reaction because she had almost drowned? Dong Xi sighed softly. Did she really look like an idiot who would drown in a bathtub? There was a moment of silence. Dong Xi struggled and said, ¡°Put me down.¡± Su Cheng immediately let go, and Dong Xi fell into the tub, the water sshing on her head. Dong Xi wiped the water off her face and began exining to Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, ¡°Not breathing doesn¡¯t mean someone dead. A person is dead if he doesn¡¯t have a heartbeat. He¡¯s really dead if he¡¯s brain dead.¡± Su Cheng thought for a moment and asked, ¡°Brain dead? Are you talking about the destruction of the sea of consciousness?¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to speak, Su Cheng continued, ¡°No, you little girl, you don¡¯t have a sea of consciousness now!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± This snake was quite handsome if they did not speak, but once he spoke, he made people want to give him two big ps! ¡°Without consciousness, it means brain death,¡± Dong Xi tried to exin. Su Cheng asked in a low voice, ¡°You lost consciousness? Are you talking about his soul being destroyed?¡± Dong Xi wanted to educate the snake on atheism. A gentleman should not me his misfortunes on spirits and souls. The three spiritual and seven physical souls were all stories. However, just as she was about to open her mouth, Dong Xi felt that she was not that determined. This was the cultivation world. Those who could Ascend could also be ghost cultivators after death. Of course, they had souls! Dong Xi¡¯s expression wasplicated. She looked up and saw Su Cheng staring at her. She sighed and said, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s mood instantly became extremely heavy when she thought about the life and death trial that was waiting for her six yearster. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°You¡¯ve already signed a contract with me. No one in this world can destroy your soul!¡± When Dong Xi heard Su Cheng¡¯s overbearing words, she was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement perfunctorily. She thought to herself, ¡®This snake is a little overconfident. Has he forgotten how he got injured? His mouth is so tough!¡¯ Moreover, the great snake should have many enemies, and the probability of being implicated by the great snake was much higher than Dong Xi seeking Death himself. Su Cheng could also see that Dong Xi didn¡¯t seem to believe him, and his face instantly darkened. He had already said that he would protect this little girl¡¯s soul, but this little girl didn¡¯t believe him? As expected, she was just a human cub with little knowledge! Dong Xi did not see any movement from the great snake. He slowly turned illusionary in front of her and finally disappeared. Dong Xi sat in the tub, feeling her body slowly recover its strength. Dong Xi took another deep breath andy in the water, blowing bubbles continuously. She repeated this a few times until the water had cooled down and the medicinal power in the water had slowly disappeared. Only then did Dong Xie out of the water. She circted her spiritual Qi once, and her clothes were dry. Chapter 153 - 153 Can’t Waste Time 153 Can¡¯t Waste Time Dong Xi stretchedzily. Seeing that it was still early, she could not waste time. Why not make a trip to the library? Just as she was about to go out, a familiar butterfly appeared in front of the restriction. Dong Xi let the butterfly in, and the butterfly flew in front of Dong Xi and instantly burned and emitted a voice message. ¡°Xiaoxi,e over for a while,¡± her master said. Alright, the library could only wait. Since she was already about to use Spatial Bending, Dong Xi dispersed her spiritual power and obediently ran towards her master¡¯s cave. She had to train her body anyway, so it would not be a waste of time. It was just a little slow, but her master should be able to wait. Master Lingxu¡¯s tea had already lost its taste, but Dong Xi had yet to arrive. ¡°What has Xiaoxi been busy with? Why hasn¡¯t shee over after so long?¡± Master Lingxu could not help but ask. Liang Yan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Junior Sister has refined a lot of pills. The sect doesn¡¯tck Spirit Restore Pills and Wind Speed Pills anymore.¡± Instantly, Master Lingxu was a little shocked. It was the first time he had seen such a hardworking disciple. ¡°These are the pills she produced after a few months?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Liang Yan immediately replied, ¡°Dong Xi is refining a lot of pills now. She¡¯ll be able to learn how to produce two furnaces of pills at the same time.¡± Liang Yan was impressed. Master Lingxu had been refining pills for hundreds of years. Even when he was refining low-level pills, he could refine two cauldrons of pills at the same time. That was because Lingxu had been refining pills for hundreds of years and was already familiar with it. However, this child had only been refining pills for about half a year. She was really a genius! Master Lingxu continued to ask, ¡°how¡¯s Chi Yan? She can¡¯t be refining pills too, right?¡± Liang Yan immediately cupped his fists and said, ¡°Master, you¡¯re right this time. Chi Yan has been in the alchemy room for the past two to three months. I heard that she and Little Junior Sister have set up some kind of alchemy service. They can help other disciples to make pills and they need to take amission from it.¡± Master Lingxu was speechless. ¡°Is it Dong Xi¡¯s idea?¡± Lingxu asked. Chi Yan was born to be more upright, and her innate pride would not allow her to do so. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± replied Liang Yan immediately, ¡°Little Junior Sister has always been smart.¡± When Lingxu heard this, he sighed. ¡°This girl¡­ She¡¯s a little too clever. The sect¡¯s original intention was to let those disciples practice, but in the end, the little girl refined all the pills. What else can the others practice?¡± ¡°Master, Little Junior Sister has thought of all the problems you¡¯re worried about, so she only takes on missions that are owed to the sect for more than 30 years,¡± Liang Yan said. Lingxu remained silent, while Liang Yan continued, ¡°Well, there are still benefits for the Juniro Sisters refining pills like this. All the disciples of the Alchemy Sect are very diligent under Dong Xi¡¯s leadership. The alchemy room is full every day. If you want to refine pills, you have to queue in advance. The stock of the Spirit Restore Pills and Wind Speed Pills is sufficient. I came here today to ask you if you could sell some of the middle and lower-grade pills that the sect disciples don¡¯t need to the next-door Destiny Valley?¡± This time, Master Lingxu was truly shocked. It had only been half a year, and the sect¡¯s medicinal pills had gone from being in short supply to having an excess? ¡°That works too!¡± Master Lingxu said. Now that the Alchemy Sect disciples were so secretive, the chances of being able to refine pills perfectly had been greatly increased. As a result, other than top-grade pills, no one was willing to eat middle and low-grade pills. The master and disciple talked for a long time before Dong Xi climbed up, panting. Dong Xi cast a spell to clean herself and shouted towards his master¡¯s cave, ¡°Master! This disciple is a littlete!¡± Lingxu and Liang Yan, who had long been used to voice transmissions, were instantly stunned when they heard Dong Xi shouting. After a moment, Lingxu deactivated the restriction and let Dong Xi in. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s flushed face, Lingxu asked in confusion, ¡°Did you climb up on your own again?¡± Dong Xi nodded and looked at her master. She asked, ¡°Master, I have something to ask you.¡± With a wave of his hand, a cup of tea flew to Dong Xi. Lingxu said, ¡°Drink some tea and rest for a while.¡± Liang Yan, who had been talking for a long time without even drinking a sip of water, was speechless. Could Master¡¯s favoritism be more obvious? Dong Xi did not hesitate. She lifted his teacup and took a sip. After drinking, she immediately felt refreshed. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes brightened and he praised, ¡°Master, this tea is really good!¡± ¡°Since Xiaoxi likes it so much, I¡¯ll bring some back for you,¡± Lingxu said with a smile. Dong Xi secretly took out a porcin bottle from her storage ring and said with some embarrassment, ¡°Can¡­ Can I do that?¡± Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s actions, the smile on Master Lingxu¡¯s face became even wider. ¡°Since you acknowledge me as your Master, then once a Master, forever a Father. There¡¯s no need to be polite with me.¡± Chapter 154 - 154 Experience Sharing 154 Experience Sharing Liang Yan did not know if he should say some things. This was not what Master had said to his fellow disciples. Dong Xi looked at Liang Yan and casually asked, ¡°Senior Brother has one too?¡± Lingxu saw that Dong Xi was thinking about her Senior Brother and immediately smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t have many good things, but you guys are still thinking about them. Forget it, I¡¯ll send some to Song Qingfeng and Chi Yanter. Dong Xi immediately cupped her fists and respectfully said, ¡°Xiaoxi thanks Master!¡± ¡°Master, why have you called me here?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°I¡¯ve already seen the way you made Chi Yan¡¯s pill, it¡¯s very novel,¡± Master Lingxu said. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m just helping Little Senior Sister to find some patterns. Although this method can allow little Senior Sister to refine pills, it¡¯s still very difficult to refine pills perfectly. We must try it again!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Master Lingxu nodded. ¡°This method of yours is only used on Chi Yan, so it¡¯s indeed very limited. However, if you share it with the other disciples, there might be even more unexpected gains.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± said Dong Xi. After all, the other disciples all have wood spirit roots and can feel the changes in the spirit nts in the cauldron. ¡°When you¡¯re not busy, you can go to the alchemy room and share your experience with the other disciples!¡± Master Lingxu said after a moment of thought. When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately understood. Wasn¡¯t this just a top student sharing her learning experience with others? In her previous life, Dong Xi had shared many of such things, and this Dong Xi was very good at it! Now that her honored master had suggested it, Dong Xi naturally agreed. There were so many disciples in the Alchemy Sect, and every single one of them would try to hide what they hadprehended. However, Dong Xi had actually agreed to it immediately, which made Master Lingxu¡¯s impression of Dong Xi even better. ¡°Xiaoxi, did you have something you wanted to ask Master?¡± Lingxu asked with a pleasant expression. In other words, Dong Xi had already entered the sect for almost a year. As Dong Xi¡¯s Master, Lingxu had never given the child any guidance. He really could not be considered a good Master. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Master, I¡¯ve been studying body tempering recently. Every day after body tempering, I have to take a medicinal bath. It¡¯s really troublesome. I want to ask Master if there are any suitable medicinal pills?¡± ¡°What?¡± Lingxu asked in shock. ¡°Body refining?¡± What was this little girl trying to do? She was a pill cultivator! ¡°Yes,¡± said Dong Xi seriously. ¡°I¡¯ve deeply realized that the human body is much worse than the demon beasts¡¯ when I went out to train. If I can make up for this shoring, it¡¯ll be better for me to go out and train in the future.¡± Although there was nothing wrong with saying this, body cultivation was really hard. It was even more painful than cultivating spiritual energy. ¡°Xiaoxi, are you really going to temper your body?¡± Master Lingxu could only ask again. ¡°That¡¯s right, I really want to refine my body,¡± said Dong Xi very seriously. Master Lingxu looked at the serious expression on Dong Xi¡¯s face and wanted to see through her heart. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already made your decision, I do have a recipe for a pill for body tempering,¡± Lingxu said slowly after a long time. As he said this, Master Lingxu took out a note and handed it to Dong Xi. Master Lingxu said, ¡°I got this by chance in the past. It has the effect of replenishing Qi and blood. Body refinement is to condense Qi and blood. Take it and try it. If you don¡¯t understand anything,e and ask me.¡± Dong Xi thought that once her Master went into seclusion, she did not know when he woulde out, so it was better to ask now. ¡°Master, what rank is this medicinal pill?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. Master Lingxu frowned and thought for a while. Then, he suddenly remembered that although this little disciple was a genius, he was only at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Refining tier 5 medicinal pills now was more or less somewhat difficult. Master Lingxu looked at Liang Yan, who was beside him, and said, ¡°Liang Yan.¡± Liang Yan instantly understood his Master¡¯s meaning. He sighed in his heart, cupped his fists, and said, ¡°Master, I understand. I will help Little Junior Sister refine the pill.¡± Lingxu smiled in satisfaction, then took out a token that looked like wood but was not wood and gave it to Dong Xi. He said, ¡°If you need any spirit nts, use this token to get them directly.¡± Dong Xi took her Master¡¯s token. When she saw the word ¡®Lingxu¡¯ on it, she understood in her heart that her Master had given her a membership card! And it was the kind with a real name. Dong Xi¡¯s face was filled with anticipation. She rubbed his hands and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, if I use this token to get spirit nts, will I get a discount?¡± Lingxu saw Dong Xi¡¯s appearance and said with a smile, ¡°You can just go and get it. You don¡¯t need to use spirit stones or points. You need to exchange it with medicinal pills.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this. She immediately said, ¡°This is good! Although my aptitude iscking, I don¡¯tck medicinal pills!¡± Chapter 155 - 155 Body Tempering with Me? 155 Body Tempering with Me? Thinking of how Dong Xi had paid off Song Qingfeng¡¯s 60 years of pill refining mission in half a year, and how Dong Xi had perfectly produced pills every time, she naturally had a lot of stock. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Liang Yan remembered his unfinished 60-year mission and suddenly felt envious of Song Qingfeng. Thinking of this, Liang Yan looked at Lingxu and said, ¡°Master, I¡¯ll be going to the technique Hall in two days to clear the doubts of the little disciples. If I can ask Song Qingfeng to help Junior Sister make the pill, it will definitely be much faster. ¡°That¡¯s fine. Inform Song Qingfeng toe along,¡± Master Lingxu nodded. !! Master Lingxu sent a voice transmission talisman to Song Qingfeng. When Song Qingfeng heard that his Master asked him and his Senior Brother to make some pills for his Junior Sister, he thought it was some high-level pill, so he asked them to do it together. After seeing the list, Song Qingfeng immediately leaned back in his chair. He pinched the jade slip with two fingers and said with a puzzled face, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a fifth-tier medicinal pill? Do you still need me and Senior Brother to help refine it?¡± Liang Yan shook his head, and Song Qingfeng thought that he did not need it. Liang Yan said, ¡°No, you won¡¯t be helping me. You can make it yourself.¡± Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi and saw her lowering her head, looking guilty. Song Qingfeng suddenly understood something. He looked at Liang Yan and said, ¡°Senior Brother, are you telling me Master said this? If you don¡¯t have a good reason, I won¡¯t care about your share.¡± Liang Yan sat on the stool and looked at Song Qingfeng with resentment. Liang Yan said, ¡°I have no choice, I still have 60 years of alchemy left, no one is willing to help me.¡± Hearing Liang Yan¡¯s words, Song Qingfeng was very happy andughed out loud. He said, ¡°That¡¯s right. If that¡¯s the case, then as your Junior Brother, of course I have to help. Senior Brother can rest assured andplete your 60 years of alchemy. I¡¯ll be responsible for Little Junior Sister¡¯s pills!¡± Then, Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi and asked, ¡°Little Junior Sister, what do you want this pill for?¡± ¡°Body refining!¡± Dong Xi raised his head and said the truth. Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s thin arms and legs. He could not treat Dong Xi like those muscr body cultivators and rush up to fight with others. As he thought, Song Qingfeng frowned and tried to persuade her. ¡°Junior Sister, is it because you don¡¯t have any good magic weapons? Senior Brother has a spirit scarf, take it and use it first, it¡¯s pink, don¡¯t you little fairies like this kind of thing?¡± Then, he started to search in the storage rings and found many things. He introduced them one by one, ¡°Look, this is the Soul-Shaking Bell, and this is the Sunfire Lantern¡­ You can choose one of them.¡± Dong Xi looked at the magic tools in front of her. She had a deeper understanding of her Second Senior Brother¡¯s wealth. Each of these things made Dong Xi¡¯s heart flutter. After being moved, she felt numb. Dong Xi calmed down and cupped her fists to Song Qingfeng, ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Before Dong Xi could finish, Song Qingfeng immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t take things too hard and go do some body cultivation! There are many body cultivators in the Western Continent, and their thick arms and legs are almost as thick as your waist, wahaha!¡± Liang Yan noticed that Dong Xi was looking at him. He nodded and said, ¡°Your Second Senior Brother is right.¡± Dong Xi also knew that the two of them had good intentions, but the path of cultivation was to press forward with indomitable will. If she continued to hesitate at this time, she would produce Mental Demons. ¡°Senior Brother, why are youparing yourself with others?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Isn¡¯t immortal cultivation the same as surpassing oneself?¡± Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± Song Qingfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong. Wasn¡¯t this Little Junior Sister a little too mature? There were so many wise-sounding wordsing out of her mouth, and she was even better at preaching than his Master. ¡°Little Junior Sister, have you thought it through?¡± Liang Yan asked. Dong Xi nodded. Looking at the various magic treasures in front of her, she felt a bit distressed. However, she still hardened her heart and stopped looking at the treasure. She said firmly, ¡°I thought about this carefully. No matter what weapon it is, it¡¯s an external object. If you only rely on external objects, how can you break through your own body? ¡± Liang Yan muttered to himself, ¡°External objects¡­¡± After Liang Yan heard this, he gradually became confused. After a long time, he came back to his senses and immediately said, ¡°Little Junior Sister is right. If you¡¯ve made your decision, I¡¯ll support you!¡± ¡°Now you¡¯re suddenly a good person?¡± Song Qingfeng said disdainfully. ¡°Forget it. Since you¡¯ve thought it through, I¡¯ll make you this pill!¡± Dong Xi was a little touched. Suddenly, she had an idea. She did not know why she thought so, but she said, ¡°Two Senior Brothers, do you want to temper your bodies with me?¡± Chapter 156 - 156 It’s a Pity Not to Go to the Sword Sect 156 It¡¯s a Pity Not to Go to the Sword Sect Liang Yan frowned. Song Qingfeng said in shock, ¡°Body refining?¡± Dong Xi nodded and seriously said, ¡°That¡¯s right, everyone outside says that alchemists are weak, but what if alchemy is no longer weak? When we fight, we¡¯ll definitely give everyone a surprise.¡± No matter what, Liang Yan was still a sword cultivator. He could still ept body cultivation. Song Qingfeng was indeed a bit speechless. She was clearly a pill cultivator, but she had the heart to cause trouble! ¡°Little Junior Sister, it¡¯s a pity you don¡¯t go to the Sword Sect,¡± Song Qingfeng said. !! Song Qingfeng¡¯s casual words caused Dong Xi¡¯s eyes to light up. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Can I go now? Chi Yan is a disciple of the Sword Sect, and she can even enter the Alchemy Sect, so it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to go to the Sword Sect to learn the sword, right?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words enlightened Liang Yan. His eyes widened, and he could not help but nod. Seeing that the two of them didn¡¯t know, Dong Xi immediately took out a Jade slip and sent a message to Chi Yan. [Little Senior Sister, can non-disciples of the Sword Sect go to the Sword Sect to learn?] Chi Yan also replied immediately. [You want to go?] Without waiting for Dong Xi¡¯s reply, Chi Yan sent another message. [Others might not be able to do it, but you won¡¯t have a problem.] Dong Xi was a little confused. If others could not do it, why could she? What was so special about Dong Xi? Dong Xi did not doubt for a long time. Soon, Chi Yan sent another message. This time, it was a voice message. Dong Xi opened it and heard Chi Yan say, ¡°No sword cultivator can reject the friendship of a pill cultivator, let alone you who can refine so many pills in a day!¡± Dong Xi touched her chin. She suddenly felt a little proud. What was going on? ¡°If you want to go, I can help you ask Master Yijian,¡± Chi Yan sent another voice message. ¡°Thank you, Little Senior Sister!¡± Dong Xi immediately sent a voice message. Dong Xi put down the jade scroll and saw that Liang Yan seemed to be enjoying himself. ¡°Is there anything else, Eldest Senior Brother?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. Liang Yan shook his head, and his cold face suddenly turned red. He coughed a few times and said, ¡°Junior Sister, why don¡¯t you help me ask? Let¡¯s see if I can go and learn as well?¡± The veins on Song Qingfeng¡¯s forehead throbbed. He said, ¡°If Master were to find out that the two of you are thinking of going to another sect to study, who knows how he would punish the two of you!¡± Dong Xi immediately stood up straight and said with a serious face, ¡°Although I want to practice the sword, I will always be a member of the Alchemy Sect!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I agree with you, Junior Sister,¡± Liang Yan nodded. Song Qingfeng picked up a teacup, and the tea inside shook slightly. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng¡¯s white hands. With such fine skin and tender flesh, wouldn¡¯t it be too much of a pity if she did not cultivate his body? ¡°Second Senior Brother, do you really not want to train your body?¡± Dong Xi asked again. Song Qingfeng took a sip of tea and shook his head. ¡°No need. I have enough Dharma Treasures on me. Ordinary people can¡¯t get close to me. If I really encounter a situation where even Dharma Treasures are useless, it¡¯s useless even if I train my body to the extreme.¡± Dong Xi immediately fell silent. As expected of a pay-to-win cultivator, why was he so confident? Although she could not break Song Qingfeng¡¯s defense, Song Qingfeng¡¯s one sentence broke Dong Xi¡¯s defense. Alright, Dong Xi also knew that body refinement was only suitable for poor people like her. She had no choice, she had no money! ¡°Senior Brother, in that case, I hope you can help me refine my medicinal pill as soon as possible,¡± said Dong Xi with cupped fists. She should not rush people, but when she thought about how her Senior Brother owed the sect sixty 60 of missions, he suddenly felt a little uneasy. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Song Qingfeng said lightly. ¡°I¡¯ll open the furnace and make it in three days.¡± Hearing Song Qingfeng¡¯s words, Dong Xi¡¯s heart immediately calmed down. She cupped her fists and said, ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother. I¡¯ll go to the pharmacy to get the materials in a while.¡± Dong Xi and Liang Yan came out of Song Qingfeng¡¯s cave together. As soon as the two came out of the restriction, Liang Yan stopped. Dong Xi almost stepped on Liang Yan¡¯s foot. She asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Senior Brother?¡± Liang Yan looked at his Junior Sister and said solemnly, ¡°Little Junior Sister, you must remember to help your Senior Brother ask if he can go to the Sword Sect to learn.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s swordsmanship was not bad, but he had not made any progress after so many years. If he could learn in the Sword Sect, he might be able to break through his current level. ¡°I know,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother. If I can go to the Sword Sect, I¡¯ll definitely ask around for you.¡± Liang Yan nodded reservedly, took out his long sword, and stood up. Before he left, he asked, ¡°Little Junior Sister, do you need a ride?¡± Chapter 157 - 157 Can You Tell? 157 Can You Tell? Dong Xi thought of the bad memories her Senior Brother had brought her when they were flying on his sword and immediately shook her head. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll just run back. It¡¯s good for body training. Thank you, Senior Brother.¡± Liang Yan, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll be leaving then,¡± said Liang Yan. Dong Xi did not really want to run back. There was still a long distance between the pharmacy and Second Senior Brother¡¯s cave. If she just ran, she might not be able toe back even when it was dark. Dong Xi used the Earth Bending, and the scene around him suddenly blurred as she moved quickly. After receiving the medicinal herbs, he sent them to the Second Senior Brother¡¯s Immortal¡¯s cave and then returned to her own mountain. Su Cheng sensed Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique. As soon as Dong Xi entered the cave, Su Cheng immediately appeared in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi only saw a sh in front of his eyes, and a person suddenly appeared. Dong Xi immediatelyughed. After seeing who it was, Dong Xi let out a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Why are you always so elusive?¡± ¡°Show me your movement technique again,¡± Su Cheng said. Although Dong Xi did not know why, but she still activated her movement technique and took a step. Su Cheng immediately understood and lost interest. Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s not spatial power. It¡¯s the power of the earth.¡± Dong Xi frowned and suddenly thought of something. She asked, ¡°What¡¯s your attribute?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s inner core was in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian, but until now, Dong Xi still could not see Su Cheng¡¯s attribute. Themonly known spiritual energy carried poison, which should be Su Cheng¡¯s talent. Su Cheng did not say anything. He just took a step in front of Dong Xi and then appeared beside the pond. The frog he brought back from the Secret Realm just happened to be on Su Cheng¡¯s tail. ¡°Can you tell?¡± Su Cheng asked lightly. Dong Xi blinked. She did not understand Su Cheng¡¯s movement, but she could clearly feel that Su Cheng¡¯s movement technique was more brilliant than her own. Su Cheng did not leave any tracks or afterimages. If he used this movement technique in battle, the enemy would not be able to guess where Su Cheng would appear in the next second. ¡°Spatial attribute?¡± Dong Xi randomly replied. ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯re not that stupid!¡± Su Cheng¡¯s lips curved up. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up and she said in shock, ¡°It¡¯s really the spatial attribute?!¡± Su Cheng had spent so much time with this young human and had some understanding of Dong Xi. Every time Dong Xi smiled like that, she had a purpose. As expected, Dong Xi took off the jade pendant from his neck and said, ¡°You have the spatial attribute, can you help me expand the space in the jade pendant? If you have any pills in the future, just tell me directly. I¡¯ll definitely find a way to help you get them!¡± The space in this jade pendant was only as big as a bathroom. It was pathetically small to put in a bathtub, some pots, bowls, anddles. Dong Xi was just asking casually. It was fine if he could not do it. She would work hard to refine pills in the future and exchange points for a few storage rings. Su Cheng¡¯s eyes looked at the jade pendant in Dong Xi¡¯s hand and scanned it with his divine sense. He said, ¡°This jade pendant is a damaged bejeweled tool. In the future, when your cultivation level is higher, the space will increase. There is no need to expand it.¡± Dong Xi held the jade pendant and fell into deep thought. How could the mother of the original body have a treasured weapon? And she was so sure that her daughter had spirit roots? Even if it was a coincidence, how could it be so coincidental? Su Cheng was born with spatial attributes, so he did not need a storage ring. However, when he saw that the little girl was still worried about such a small amount of space, he casually spread out his hand, and all kinds of storage rings appeared in his hand. There were more than a dozen of them. ¡°Just take it and y with it,¡± Su Cheng said nonchntly. Dong Xi looked at the storage rings and his tone. It felt like a snake was cleaning up the trash. Of course, the great snake might have been clearing out the storage, but to Dong Xi, these were all treasures. He had only seen so many storage rings in the hands of his Second Senior Brother. While Dong Xi was hesitating, Su Cheng said again, ¡°You said you¡¯d help me with a simple matter, does that still count?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± There was nothing in the world that could be obtained without putting in any effort, and it was even more impossible for there to be a free storage ring. ¡°What medicinal pill?¡± asked Dong Xi. Su Cheng¡¯s eyes slightly widened, and each of his long eyshes was distinct. Dong Xi looked at this big snake and could not help but sigh. This was not a snake spirit at all, it was a monster with eyshes! Su Cheng thought for a while, then raised his head and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about it yet. When I think about what I want, I¡¯lle to you.¡± Did she want the storage ring or not? Chapter 158 - 158 Don’t Worry 158 Don¡¯t Worry Su Cheng could see the desire in Dong Xi¡¯s eyes. He didn¡¯t know why, but this little girl was hesitating. ¡°You don¡¯t want it?¡± Su Cheng was confused. ¡°No, I¡¯m just afraid that I can¡¯t refine the medicinal pill you¡¯re talking about,¡± said Dong Xi while shaking his head. Su Chengughed scornfully when he heard that. He said, ¡°No need to worry.¡± Dong Xi immediately thought that the snake had found its conscience and wanted tofort her, but Su Cheng nkly said, ¡°Based on your current cultivation, you can only refine a second-tier medicinal pill at most. It¡¯s indeed useless to me.¡± !! Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi secretly swore to himself that he would definitely refine pills properly in the future so as to avoid being looked down upon by a stinky snake! Su Cheng threw the storage ring to Dong Xi. Watching the little girl put the storage ring on all her fingers, Dong Xi looked up and asked, ¡°Why do you have these rings? Don¡¯t you have the spatial attribute?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s eyes were meaningful. He raised his head slightly and said with disdain, ¡°What do you think?¡± Dong Xi had not thought too much about it at first, but when she saw the great snake¡¯s expression, she instantly understood. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were filled with shock. Su Cheng saw all of this and said, ¡°You dare to raise a snake with such little courage?¡± Dong Xi gritted her teeth, her expressionplicated. There was only one thought in her mind. When she was treating his injuries and said that he wanted to recuperate, did the snake hear her? But when Zhixi was talking at that time, she really did not expect that he would be such a big snake in the end! ¡°I don¡¯t want to raise it now, but you¡¯re not leaving either!¡± Dong Xi said in a low voice. Until now, Dong Xi still had not found a way to take out the inner core. If she did not return the inner core to the great snake, the great snake naturally would not leave. Su Cheng¡¯s cultivation was profound, and his divine sense had already covered the entire mountain. Whatever Dong Xi said, Su Cheng heard it clearly. ¡°Help me with something,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°What is it?¡± asked Dong Xi curiously. Su Cheng directly threw a token to Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s hand, which was full of rings, immediately stretched forward and caught the token. The token was ck, and there were no words on it, only a snake with its eyes closed. Dong Xi was still looking at the token when Su Cheng directly said, ¡°Help me send this token to the love Smoke restaurant in Futai city. Find a woman called Lady Rong and give her the token.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately asked with an understanding expression, ¡°You have a lover?¡± Su Cheng looked disdainful and said, ¡°In my eyes, there are only two types of people. One is useful, and the other is useless. Just do your own thing and don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask.¡± ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll get someone to deliver it to you some other day,¡± replied Dong Xi honestly. Su Cheng, who was just about to enter the cave abode, heard Dong Xi say this and asked in disbelief, ¡°You didn¡¯t even make a trip for these storage rings?¡± ¡°I¡¯m someone who can refine hundreds of Supreme-grade medicinal pills every day,¡± said Dong Xi.¡±Do I need to do such a small thing myself?¡± Seeing Su Cheng frown, Dong Xi continued, ¡°Big snake, you might not know, but we humans have a saying, ¡®money can make the ghost push the millstone¡¯. You don¡¯t have to go personally for such a small matter like delivering items.¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°No, you have to go there personally.¡± The two of them looked at each other for a long time before Dong Xi finallypromised. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go personally,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°But I¡¯ll have to wait three days. I¡¯ll go after I get the pills refined by Second Senior Brother.¡± Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi continued, ¡°When the timees, I can run to deliver it. I can also temper my body. Isn¡¯t it better to run wherever I go?¡± Su Cheng was stunned for a moment. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up and he continued, ¡°That¡¯s right. I can also take on some missions to Futai City!¡± Su Cheng, ¡°¡­¡± This young human really did not waste any time. Dong Xi was excited when she sensed that there was a message in hermunication jade slip. She immediately took it out and saw that it was a message from little Senior Sister Chi Yan. [Xiaoxi, I¡¯ve already asked Master Yijian. He said that you can enter the Sword Sect, but if you want to be his disciple, you¡¯ll have to pass his test!] A test? We cultivators are not afraid of any test! Dong Xi immediately replied with determination. [A test is fine! It¡¯s a blessing to be valued by Master Yijian.] Chi Yan replied. [When do you have time to take the assessment?] Dong Xi immediately replied. [How about today?] After getting Chi Yan¡¯s affirmative answer, Dong Xi looked up at the big snake who was staring at him curiously and said, ¡°I need to go to the Sword Sect to see a Master. I¡¯ll be backter.¡± Chapter 159 - 159 I’m Going to Find a Master Next Door 159 I¡¯m Going to Find a Master Next Door Dong Xi ran down the mountain in a hurry. When she was halfway down the mountain, she suddenly remembered that she still had to inform her master before she could join the Sword Sect! Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a voice message to his master. She was stunned for two seconds when he saw the storage rings on her hand. She immediately took them off and left the one her master had given him. Master Lingxu held his teacup and calmly took a sip. This Golden Tea was a good thing. Just a small sip had the effect of purifying the Sea of Consciousness. Lingxu had just drunk it when his little disciple¡¯s voice came from the jade slip in the next second. Dong Xi shouted, ¡°Master! Disciple will go to the next door to look for another master!¡± !! Master Lingxu was startled by the loud voice, and more than half of the tea leaves were scattered! Lingxu looked at the tea in his hands and then at the jade slip. In an instant, he did not know whether to feel heartache for her disciple who was going next door or for the tea in her hand. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Master, you don¡¯t have to worry! Even if I enter the Sword Sect, you will still be number one in my heart!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just going to practice my sword! I¡¯ll be back tonight!¡± Lingxu could not care less about the tea in his hands. He put down the teacup and immediately sent a voice message to Dong Xi, asking, ¡°Xiaoxi, where are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m squatting outside the Sword Sect,¡± Dong Xi immediately replied. These words were full of imagery. Lingxu imagined it for a moment and sighed. Master Lingxu sent a voice message. ¡°I can¡¯t force you to stay. Your heart isn¡¯t here. If you like to practice the sword, then go!¡± When Dong Xi heard her Master¡¯s words, she immediately frowned. Why did Master¡¯s words sound so strange? It was as if Dong Xi was a big scumbag who did not appreciate him. However, Dong Xi had already arrived at the entrance of the Sword Sect. She could not possibly return, could she? Forget it, since it¡¯s already like this, Dong Xi will be a ¡®scumbag¡¯ for once! ¡°Master, I¡¯ll go back after practicing my swordsmanship!¡± Dong Xi said in a voice message. Master Lingxu really did not feel too bad. Although this disciple¡¯s talent in alchemy was very good, her swordsmanship was not bad either. His disciple¡¯s visit to the Sword Sect had shocked the old fogeys. When Dong Xi arrived at the entrance of the Sword Sect, she gave her waist tag to the other party. When the other party saw Dong Xi¡¯s name, her eyes lit up and she eximed, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi?¡± The Sword Sect disciple¡¯s surprised tone startled Dong Xi. Dong Xi was sure that he had never seen this Senior Brother before. ¡°Do we know each other?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. The Senior Brother of the Sword Sectughed and said, ¡°Junior Sister, who doesn¡¯t know you? The entire Ningtian sect heard about you. Daoist Yijian ordered long ago that you wereing. He¡¯s currently testing out the sword formation, so I¡¯ll send you there.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi cupped his fists and politely said. As the Senior Brother walked, he introduced himself, ¡°Junior Sister, my name is Xiong Ye, I¡¯m a disciple under the name of the Daoist Master Yijian,¡± ¡°Senior Brother Xiong Ye,¡± Dong Xi called out courteously. ¡°Junior Sister, don¡¯t be too surprised when you arriveter,¡± said Xiong Ye. ¡°Why?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. Xiong Ye smiled and said, ¡± Junior Sister, you might not know this, but you¡¯ve refined a lot of pills. When the disciples of the Sword Sect go out to gain experience, they can exchange for a lot of top-grade pills. Yesterday, I went to the Missions Hall to receive a mission and found that many of the mission rewards have be top-grade pills. In the Ningtian Sect, only the disciples of the Sword Sect go out often. Therefore, everyone is grateful for your kindness!¡± With that said, the two of them went to the sword-testing formation. Dong Xi looked from afar and was extremely shocked. Even though Xiong Ye had already told her, Dong Xi had not expected that there would be so many people here. There was a sea of people, and there seemed to be no ce to stand. The moment Dong Xi appeared, everyone immediately shouted. ¡°Junior Sister ising!¡± ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi!¡± ¡°Junior Sister is so cute!¡± ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re a god!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi¡¯s scalp went numb. Although she had lived for 18 years in her previous life, she had never seen so many people! Even in her previous life, when those people chased after stars, they probably did not gather like this. At the very least, those fans who chased after stars would not fly in the air. Dong Xi followed behind Xiong Ye and walked in. All the disciples of the Sword Sect, regardless of gender, were full of strength. The Immortal Sword was forged with all kinds of rare treasures, so it was naturally not light. If one¡¯s strength was not enough, not only would one not be able to hurt the enemy, but one would also easily hurt themselves. Compared to the disciples of the Sword Sect, Dong Xi was like a child who had just grown up. However, these disciples were looking at Dong Xi with a kind of fanatical look in their eyes. This made Dong Xi instantly understand why so many alchemists were unwilling to practice the sword. With so many powerful followers, who would personally fight? Chapter 160 - 160 Don’t Fret 160 Don¡¯t Fret Daoist Yijian stood at the front. When he saw Dong Xiing over, he asked, ¡°You¡¯re Dong Xi?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Dong Xi,¡± said Dong Xi immediately with cupped fists. Daoist Yijian had never seen Dong Xi¡¯s true appearance, but he had heard that this girl had joined Lingxu with Chi Yan, and she was an outer sect disciple. The outer sect disciples did not have very good aptitudes. He did not know why Lingxu would ept such a disciple. ¡°Come, give me the spirit testing stone,¡± Master Yijian said. !! Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and asked, ¡°Master Yijian, do you need to look at your spirit root to practice the sword?¡± Venerable Yijian¡¯s face was solemn as he said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s just for reference, don¡¯t worry.¡± Chi Yan had said that this Little Junior Sister was very powerful. After seeing her today, he realized that this girl¡¯s cultivation had not dropped at all. He had also heard from the disciples that Dong Xi had not slept since he entered the Ningtian Sect and had been cultivating at night. Although cultivation could rece sleep, new disciples who had juste to the cultivation world were generally not used to it. It was rare to see someone like Dong Xi who had self-control. Dong Xi knew that her aptitude was not good, but she was also born with a spirit root, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. Dong Xi raised her hand and ced it on the spirit testing stone. Everyone from the Sword Sect watched closely. Xiong Ye read out the numbers from the side. When everyone heard this, they were instantly in an uproar. Even Dong Xi herself was a little shocked. Something was wrong, something was very wrong. Dong Xi could not help but suspect that the spirit testing stone of the Sword Sect might have been broken, so why was the value of her spirit root still rising? Wood spirit root was already a pass! However, the others did not know about this. These people were all inner sect disciples of the Sword Sect, and many of them had spirit roots that were above Dong Xi¡¯s. Dong Xi¡¯s three spirit roots were not very high, but she could refine dozens of furnaces of medicinal pills every day. What right did these so-called geniuses have to not work hard? The mes of fighting were instantly ignited in everyone¡¯s hearts. Daoist Yijian asked indifferently, ¡°I heard that you know a little bit of swordsmanship?¡± ¡°I only learned basic sword technique,¡± said Dong Xi with cupped fists. ¡°Then let¡¯s take a look at your basic swordsmanship and chop the sword-testing stone,¡± Yijian said immediately. Dong Xi took out her Purple Jade Sword and was just about to take action when Master Yijian shouted, ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Dong Xi turned her head to look. Daoist Yijian took the wooden sword from a nearby disciple and threw it to Dong Xi. Daoist Yijian said, ¡°Use this!¡± Dong Xi took the wooden sword, put away her Purple Jade Sword, and then walked to the sword-testing stone. Dong Xi took a deep breath. The wooden sword was very light. Dong Xi raised it up and stabbed forward. She left a hole as deep as a walnut on the sword-testing stone. The scene was eerily silent. Even Master Yijian was dumbfounded. Dong Xi obediently put away her wooden sword and cupped her fists at Daoist Yijian. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already tried.¡± When Daoist Yijian heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he came back to his senses and looked at Dong Xi, not knowing what to say. Previously, Chi Yan had said that this Junior Sister ck was powerful. How powerful could a little girl be powerful? From the looks of it now, this little girl had actuallyprehended the way of the sword on her own. Wasn¡¯t it ridiculous? After a long time, Master Yijian came back to his senses and said, ¡°Very good, you¡¯ve practiced your basic sword technique very well!¡± Dong Xi was also very happy to be praised by the Sword Sect elder. She looked at Master Yijian and asked expectantly, ¡°Master, can I join the Sword Sect?¡± Master Yijian did not say whether she could or could not. His hand behind him was so clenched that it was about to leave a mark, but his face remained calm. At this moment, the disciples of the swordsmanship sect were all very quiet. They were all looking at Master Yijian, even more nervous than Dong Xi. After a moment, he said slowly, ¡°Come with me.¡± With that, Yijian unsheathed his sword and jumped up, flying towards his own mountain. After making sure that no one could see him, Yijian could no longer hold back hisughter. Lingxu, Oh Lingxu, I¡¯m really sorry, but I¡¯m definitely going to snatch this disciple of yours! Dong Xi did not dare to dy when he saw Yijian leave. She was afraid that she would lose him, so she immediately used Earth Bending to follow. Even though Daoist Yijian was already flying very slowly, he was still very fast to Dong Xi. In fact, Dong Xi felt that even chasing after the sun was not as difficult as she was now. However, in everyone¡¯s eyes, Dong Xi had already walked ten miles away in a few steps. Everyone was extremely shocked and spoke one after another. ¡°What is this movement technique, Junior Sister? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever seen it before.¡± ¡°The world is so big, there are too many things you haven¡¯t seen.¡± ¡°If I had this movement technique, I would definitely challenge Lei Yanhu again. At least I would be able to escape unscathed!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. This movement technique is obviously not simple. It¡¯s more practical for you to exchange for two Wind Speed Pils!¡± Chapter 161 - 161 Acknowledge Me as Your Master 161 Acknowledge Me as Your Master Dong Xi didn¡¯t expect that after he left, there would be amotion at the sword testing array. Dong Xi followed Master Yijian for a long time before finally arriving at his cave. Dong Xi stopped at the door, and the restriction opened by itself. Yijian immortal¡¯s voice came from inside. He said, ¡°Come in.¡± Dong Xi immediately walked in. Compared to his master, Daoist Yijian¡¯s cave abode was much simpler. There were only two futons and a stone table in Daoist Yijian¡¯s cave. There wasn¡¯t even a stone bed. !! Dong Xi secretly noted this down. She was not the only one in the entire Ningtian Sect who cultivated without sleeping. She absolutely could not think that she was ahead of others because of this. She had to continue to work hard! Daoist Yijian was sitting on a futon, and a cup of tea was ced on the stone table. Upon seeing Dong Xi enter, Daoist Yijian said, ¡°Acknowledge me as your master!¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. Dong Xi said, ¡°You want me to acknowledge you as my master now?¡± Daoist Yijian¡¯s eyes widened as he asked sternly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Am I not qualified to be your master?¡± ¡°You¡¯re qualified, definitely qualified!¡± Dong Xi immediately shook her head. Dong Xi stepped forward and took the cup of tea. She respectfully bowed and said, ¡°Disciple greets Master!¡± Perfected Yijian took the tea and took a few sips, his heart finally rxing. There were no other idents. ¡°Dong Xi, have youprehended the Sword Dao?¡± Daoist Yijian asked curiously. When Dong Xi had struck out with her sword earlier, it had been very clear. Although Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation was low, her t stab had clearly borrowed the power of heaven and earth. Dong Xi scratched her head when she heard Daoist Yijian¡¯s words. She was not too sure either. ¡°I was in Fotai City for half a year,¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°I seemed to haveprehended something, but it didn¡¯t seem to be of much use.¡± ¡°Pfft, pfft.¡± The moment Daoist Yijian took a sip of the tea, he immediately spat it out. He said, ¡°¡­What are you saying? Half a year of Enlightenment?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it was a half year of Enlightenment!¡± Dong Xi nodded. Daoist Yijian was silent. This girl had only entered the sect for a year, but she had already been in Enlightenment for half a year? It wasmon knowledge that the longer the period of Enlightenment, the better it was. However, young people were generally inexperienced. It was normal for them to be Enlightened for a few days. They were considered geniuses if they were Enlightened for a month. However, the most important thing was that Dong Xi was still able to reach the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage even after half a year of Enlightenment! It was strange, very strange! Chi Yan was already a heavenly spirit root, and cultivation was as simple as breathing. It had not been long since he had broken through the fourth level of Qi Refinement. This girl must have some secret! Daoist Yijian pondered for a moment, then took out a jade pendant and handed it to Dong Xi. Daoist Yijian said, ¡°Today¡¯s apprenticeship was too sudden. As a sword cultivator, I don¡¯t have any treasures. This jade pendant was given to me by my Master years ago. It can hide one¡¯s cultivation level, and no one under the Soul Formation stage can see through it.¡± After saying that, he looked at Dong Xi, who was wearing it and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to wear that.¡± Dong Xi put away the jade pendant and immediately took out two porcin bottles of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills and gave them to Daoist Yijian. ¡°I hope Master will kindly ept it. This is disciple¡¯s gift for you,¡± said Dong Xi. Daoist Yijian took the porcin bottle and examined it. Then, he said with a smile, ¡°This is really novel. This is the first time I¡¯ve taken in an alchemist as my disciple!¡± Master Yijian¡¯s other disciples were extremely poor. They only thought about the things Yijian had on him every day. Dong Xi smiled shyly. Dong Xi knew that he had to first build a good rtionship with his master so that he could teach him all the things he had hidden. At that time, even if Dong Rourou entered the Dao through martial arts, Dong Xi would still have the power to fight back. Although sword cultivators were very poor, no matter how poor Master Yijian was, he could still afford two porcin vases of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills. However, Dong Xi¡¯s actions still made Yijian feel very good. It was as if he could finally see moneying back after so many years of investment. ¡°You¡¯re very good at basic swordsmanship. How long have you been practicing?¡± Yijian immortal asked. ¡°It¡¯s been almost a year,¡± answered Dong Xi honestly. Master Yijian was a sword fanatic, so he knew that it took a long time to master the basic sword techniques. Dong Xi had just entered the sect, which meant that he spent most of her time on sword practice. However, before today, Dong Xi was still a disciple of the Alchemy Sect, right? The Alchemy Sect¡¯s disciples were practicing their swordsmanship every day. Why didn¡¯t that old man Lingxu chase her out earlier? Perfected Yijian felt that it was a pity, but it was not toote for the little girl to join the Sword Sect. He took out a sword manual from his storage jade pendant and said, ¡°I can see that your sword Dao has the ability to borrow the power of heaven and earth. Take a look at this ¡®Piercing Rain and Breaking Clouds¡¯ sword technique. Perhaps you can gain some Enlightenment! Chapter 162 - 162 Can You Do It 162 Can You Do It Dong Xi received the sword manual with some excitement. Now, I, Dong Xi, can be considered to have swordsmanship too! Master Yijian was pleased to see the genuine joy on the little girl¡¯s face. Of course, he did not forget to put on a stern face and educate her, ¡°Sword cultivators will be poorer than other cultivators. Can you ride the sword a thousand times a day?¡± Dong Xi looked at Master Yijian in front of him and blinked her eyes. For a moment, she did not know what to say. Daoist Yijian thought that Dong Xi was afraid of the hard work and wanted to shirk the responsibility. His face instantly darkened as he coldly said, ¡°You can¡¯t do it? Why? If you¡¯re afraid of hardship and fatigue, then go back as soon as possible. Sword cultivation is not suitable for you!¡± Perfected Yijian valued this girl¡¯s talent, but swordsmanship did not only require talent. Hard work was even more important. When Dong Xi heard Master Yijian¡¯s words, she knew that Yijian had misunderstood him. She immediately cupped her fists and said, ¡°Master, it¡¯s not that this disciple can¡¯t do it, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m afraid.¡± Dong Xi paused, frowned, and continued, ¡°I practice every day at dawn until the moon appears. I also take a short break in the middle, but I don¡¯t take long breaks. I think a thousand times should be enough.¡± Daoist Yijian almost could not suppress the smile on his face. Not only was she talented, but she was also very diligent! She was simply the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Ningtian Sect! Master Yijian suppressed the excitement in his heart and said indifferently, ¡°Very good. Don¡¯t bezy just because you¡¯re talented. You¡¯re very good.¡± However, Master Yijian knew that he was extremely shocked. She started practicing her swordsmanship at sunrise and rested at sunset. This was the first time Yijian had heard of someone practicing swordsmanship this way. ording to what the little girl said, it would be reasonable for her to have such a good basic sword technique. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel sore in your arms after practicing the sword like this every day?¡± Yijian asked. As someone who had been through this, Yijian had researched a massage technique. Seeing that his little disciple was so hardworking, he was just about to impart it to Dong Xi. However, he did not expect that the little girl in front of him would shake her head, and Dong Xi¡¯s ponytail would also sway. ¡°I have a wood spirit root,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°If my arm feels sore, I¡¯ll be fine after spinning it a few times with wood spiritual Qi.¡± Master Yijian, ¡°¡­¡± Perfected Yijian was truly envious, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Back when Daoist Yijian had just started practicing the sword, he had endured the pain in his arms with a single sword strike. However, the blow was not over in an instant. Dong Xi looked at Daoist Yijian and said with a smile, ¡°Master, a few days ago, I obtained a prescription for a medicinal bath. Not only can it relieve the soreness and fatigue of the body, but it can also replenish Qi and blood, achieving the effect of body tempering. Do you need it, Master?¡± Daoist Yijian was a little surprised. At this moment, he could not care less about being embarrassed. ¡°Of course!¡± Master Yijian immediately replied. With Master Yijian¡¯s cultivation level, he did not have any use for it. However, he had so many disciples under him who needed it! Dong Xi was also a straightforward person. She immediately took out a piece of paper from her storage ring and started writing. It was rare to see people bring paper with them when they went out, not to mention such ordinary paper. However, Daoist Yijian furrowed his brows the moment he saw the two words. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me write?¡± Yijian suggested. He had finally discovered something that his little disciple was not very good at. It really was not easy! Dong Xi knew that her handwriting was ugly. When she heard his master say this, she immediately handed the pen and paper to him without hesitation. Daoist Yijian followed Dong Xi¡¯s every word. As more and more medicinal herbs were collected, the smile on Yijian¡¯s face grew wider. Everyone knew that sword cultivators were the poorest in the cultivation world. If the body-tempering herbs were very expensive, how could a swordsman afford to use them? At that time, many swordsmen would still choose to endure it. Anyway, it was just sore, so it did not matter if they endured it. However, if they ran out of spirit stones, they would really be in trouble. Daoist Yijian picked up the prescription he had written and said, ¡°I¡¯ll have someone send this prescription to the hall of missions in a while. That way, the disciples of the Sword Sect will basically be able to see it when they¡¯re doing missions. They can also buy it on their own.¡± Dong Xi stood at the side and said, ¡°Master, there are too many disciples in the sword sect. I have an idea. Why don¡¯t we dig two pools and divide them into men and women? We¡¯ll arrange for people to prepare the medicinal bath and send it over every day. This way, the Zhang family won¡¯t have to waste everyone¡¯s time because everyone is fighting for the medicinal herbs!¡± Chapter 163 - 163 Mischievous Kid 163 Mischievous Kid When Daoist Yijian heard this, he immediatelyughed out loud. ¡°That¡¯s right, you little girl, you¡¯re so mischievous, you have a lot of ideas.¡± Dong Xi smiled. She was so young, what bad thoughts could she have? This meant that she coulde over to take a bath when she was tired from body cultivation. This way, she did not have to prepare the medicinal bath. This was the world of cultivators, and there was no such thing as hygiene. With a simple cleaning technique, there was nothing that could not be cleaned. Master Yijian sent a message to his two disciples, telling them to dig the pond immediately. Dong Xi waited for enlightened Yijian to finish speaking before she cupped her fists and said, ¡°Master, this disciple still has one more thing to ask.¡± Master Yijian raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°The Eldest Senior Brother of the Alchemy Sect, Liang Yan, also wants to join the Sword Sect. Is that okay?¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Daoist Yijian immediately said, ¡°No problem! There¡¯s no need to wait, today is the day. I just happen to have time.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face lit up with joy. In front of Master Yijian, she immediately sent a voice message to Liang Yan. When Liang Yan received the voice message, he immediately stepped on his sword and flew toward the Sword Sect. Many people saw it. However, the disciples of the Sword Sect did not know that Liang Yan had alsoe to acknowledge him as his master. Liang Yan had just arrived at the Sword Sect when Master Lingxu followed him. Before he even arrived, he had already shouted, ¡°Yijian, Yijian! You old thing, you dare to poach my disciple!¡± Dong Xi and Liang Yan stood in a row with their heads lowered, like two quails! Daoist Yijian held Liang Yan¡¯s tea in his hand. His face was ruddy, and he took a big sip in front of Lingxu. He did not forget to say, ¡°This disciple¡¯s tea is so sweet!¡± Lingxu immediately became even more furious and said, ¡°It¡¯s bad enough that you snatched one disciple, but why do you want to snatch two? That was impossible! Yijian,e with me to see the Sect Master!¡± Yijian did not understand. He held the teacup steadily and said, ¡± ¡°Lingxu, these two disciples are very talented. Even if you empty yourself, you won¡¯t be able to teach them what they want to learn. Isn¡¯t it better if you and I work together? You¡¯re already so old, why are you still so stingy?¡± Lingxu naturally knew that without his consent, his two disciples would not dare toe to the Sword Sect. However, Lingxu felt very ufortable. Rolling his eyes at Master Yijian, he asked, ¡°ording to what you said, if any of your Sword Sect¡¯s disciples want to refine pills, my Alchemy Sect can ept all of them, right?¡± Daoist Yijianughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s great! Our Sword Sect is very poor, and even if our Daoist robes are torn, we¡¯ll just patch them up. If we could really learn some skills from Master Lingxu, we wouldn¡¯t be in such a sorry state!¡± Master Lingxu, ¡°¡­¡± Lingxu finally saw it clearly ¨C Yijian was not afraid of being bold! Lingxu was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the two people who were trying to lower their presence and coldly said, ¡°What are you still doing here? Hurry up and follow!¡± Dong Xi did not hesitate at all and immediately followed Master Lingxu. Although the Sword Sect was not bad, they did not have that small section of spirit vein! The sky was getting dark, and Dong Xi just happened to go back to cultivate. Master Yijian watched as Lingxu took away his two new disciples, but he remained seated on the futon, not in the least bit anxious. The disciple¡¯s heart was focused on practicing the sword. Even if she left today, she would return sooner orter. However, Yijian did not expect that his disciple would return a little too quickly. The next morning, the moon had just disappeared, and the sun had not risenpletely. The sky seemed to be covered with ayer of gauze, and it was getting brighter. Dong Xi tied gauze around her legs. She did not use any spiritual power and ran all the way to the sword-testing array of the Sword Sect. After the moonlight disappeared, Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation speed had be very slow. Now that he was running here, not only could he temper her body, but she had also heard that she could grow taller. The pond in the Sword Sect had not been dug yet. Otherwise, he could take a bath after today¡¯s training. Yesterday, Dong Xi discovered that the gravity inside the sword-testing array was double that of the outside. The results of her sword training in the sword-testing array would definitely be faster than elsewhere. Dong Xi flipped open the Piercing Rain and Breaking Clouds sword technique and looked at the first move, then memorized it in her heart. Dong Xi took out her Purple Jade Sword and casually made an opening gesture. This sword technique ced great importance on one¡¯s aura. Dong Xi knew that her Master, Yijian, had given her this sword technique because Dong Xi had alreadyprehended how to borrow an aura. Dong Xi held the sword and perfectly streaked it ording to the sword technique in the book. As Dong Xi¡¯s movements became smoother and smoother, she suddenly felt a sense of disharmony. The essence of swordsmanship was to increase one¡¯s movement, but too many movements were unnecessary! Chapter 164 - 164 Master, I’m in Trouble 164 Master, I¡¯m in Trouble At first, Dong Xi had thought that it was her own problem, but as the sense of disharmony grew, Dong Xi removed all the useless sword moves. The original sword move had been changed by Dong Xi to a wide-open move. It was as if a ray of sunlight had broken through theyers of ck fog and shone on the earth in the midst of a storm. Dong Xi looked at the sword-testing stone in front of her, which had been cracked by her. She was scared. She immediately took out a jade slip and sent a message to her Master. [Master, I need help!] Daoist Yijian did not expect Dong Xi¡¯s first message would be like this. This girl had only been his disciple for two days and she had already caused trouble? Master Yijian quickly replied. [What kind of trouble did you get yourself into this early in the morning?] Dong Xi coughed guiltily and sent a voice message, saying, ¡°Master, I identally cracked a sword-testing stone. Do you want me to pay for it?¡± When Daoist Yijian heard this, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he thought about how Dong Xi had arrived so early. This disciple of his was really diligent! Master Yijian said with great relief, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. The sword-testing stone is damaged every year. There is no need topensate.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he finally reacted. Something was wrong! The sword-testing stone cracked? No way? A disciple who had just reached the fifth level of the Qi refinement stage had actually split the sword-testing stone? Yesterday, she only made a small hole. Was she hiding her true strength? Dong Xi did not know what Master Yijian was thinking. She only felt relieved after hearing that she did not need to pay. ¡°Thank you, Master. I¡¯ll continue practicing my swordsmanship!¡± Dong Xi immediately sent a voice message. Fortunately, she did not need to pay. Otherwise, she would have to work for free for a long time ording to the stingy rules of the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi put away the jade slip and looked at the Purple Jade Sword in her hand. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and finally changed to a piece of wood that had been struck by lightning. No wonder Master allowed her to use a wooden sword yesterday. It turned out that the sword-testing stone was so fragile that it broke with a single strike. After changing to wood, although it was not asfortable to use as the Purple Jade Sword, she could get used to it after a long time. When the first ray of sunlight shone out, a disciple of the Sword Sect came to the sword-testing array with a sword as usual. However, he realized that he was not the first one toe. The disciple was stunned for a moment. He looked at the figure in the sword-testing array and waved the wood in his hand vigorously. The person in the sword-testing formation wasn¡¯t very tall. He was wearing men¡¯s clothes and had a ponytail. Wasn¡¯t that Junior Sister Dong Xi? Just as this person was in a daze, Dong Xi held the sword technique and repeated it twice. Dong Xi was like a puppet, constantly repeating the same actions without a trace of impatience. The disciple opened his mouth and wanted to say hello, but when he saw Dong Xi¡¯s serious expression, he chose to shut his mouth. He took out his sword and began to practice. Usually, this disciple would take a break after two hundred swings, but seeing that his Junior Sister did not take a break, how could he stop? As more and more people practiced the sword, everyone¡¯s heart also followed suit. Everyone was practicing their swordsmanship, and no one was thinking about resting! In the end, the first disciple who came here was exhausted and identally twisted his waist. The sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound under the double gravity. Dong Xi heard the voice and stopped what she was doing. She looked over. Only then did Dong Xi realize that there were already many people around her. One of the disciples was holding his waist and trying to pick up the sword that had fallen to the ground with difficulty. Dong Xi walked over and helped pick up the sword, cing it in the disciple¡¯s hand. The disciple said excitedly, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re amazing! You¡¯ve been practicing for so long, yet you don¡¯t feel tired?¡± Dong Xi looked at the disciple¡¯s waist and asked, ¡°Senior Brother, did you sprain your waist?¡± At this time, the surrounding disciples also came over and one of them said, ¡°Wukong, you¡¯ve really worked very hard today. Usually, you¡¯ll only practice for a while and rest for a while. Why didn¡¯t you stop at all today?¡± Wukong said with a bitter smile, ¡°I woke up early and found that Junior Sister was already practicing the sword. She didn¡¯t rest at all. As her Senior Brother, I¡¯m so much older than her. How can I rest?¡± Everyone instantly looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Senior Brother, have you forgotten? I have the wood spirit root, so I have an endless supply of wood spiritual Qi. When I¡¯m tired, I only need to circte the wood spiritual Qi for two rounds, and the fatigue will disappear.¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she even used wood spiritual energy to help Wukong rx his waist. The ufortable feeling at Wukong¡¯s waist instantly recovered. Wukong cupped his fists and said, ¡°Many thanks. Junior Sister, you¡¯ve helped me out of justice. I¡¯m ashamed!¡± Chapter 165 - 165 Let’s Dig the Pond Together 165 Let¡¯s Dig the Pond Together Dong Xi retracted her hand and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother, there are also tension and rxation in cultivation. If you are tired, you should rest for a while. Master Yijian said that we will dig two pools in the Sword Sect and put in medicinal baths. After the digging is done, you can soak in the pools for a while after you are done with your cultivation.¡± When everyone heard the news from Dong Xi, they immediately became excited and talked about it. ¡°Then do you still need people to help? I¡¯m very strong, so if I dig the pond with everyone, I¡¯ll definitely be done in a few days!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I can do it too!¡± ¡°It means we¡¯re all going! If each of us digs a few times, this pond can be finished today!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi picked up his wooden stick and wanted to continue practicing his swordsmanship. Xiong Ye shouted, ¡°Junior Sister!¡± Dong Xi looked at Xiong Ye with a puzzled expression. Xiong Ye took out a wooden sword and handed it to Dong Xi. Xiong Ye said, ¡°Junior Sister, take this. It feels better.¡± Dong Xi received it and said thank you. Xiong Ye scratched his head in embarrassment. He said, ¡°Master already agreed to let me use the Azure Rainbow Sword. I have no use for this wooden sword, so I¡¯ll give it to Junior Sister!¡± Dong Xi looked at the wooden sword in her hand, then looked around and found that many people were using spirit swords. Didn¡¯t Xuanji¡¯s Master tell them to use wooden swords because he was afraid that they would break the sword-testing stone? At this moment, a disciple struck the sword-testing stone with his sword, but only left a shallow white mark. Dong Xi was silent. So be it if it was a wooden sword. Perhaps it was because the sword Qi was more special. Under Dong Xi¡¯s lead, the disciples who had been practicing swordsmanship today had been practicing for the whole day. Halfway through, some people were so tired that they could not take it anymore and sat to the side. They watched Dong Xi repeat the same move. How could these people sit still? they had just rested for a short while and immediately stood up to practice the sword. The elders of the Sword Sect were relieved. However, they were also helpless. A disciple of the alchemy sect was leading a group of disciples of the Sword Sect. But on second thought, that did not seem right. Dong Xi had already be a disciple of Daoist Yijian and could be considered a disciple of the Sword Sect! At the end of the year, there would be apetition between the disciples of the major sects, which would be a great surprise for the other sects. However, he did not expect that Dong Xi would onlye for three days and then note. Many disciples did not see Dong Xi in the sword test formation, as if they had lost their backbone. When he wanted to ck off and rest, he would look at his Junior Sister, which would always ignite his fighting spirit. The Junior Sister would asionally stop and use her wood spiritual energy to help everyone rx. Although the Junior Sister had only been here for three days, she had brought a huge change to the Sword Sect. When the elders of the Sword Sect found out about this, they immediately frowned. One of the elders said, ¡°Practicing the sword requires perseverance. How can you just disappear after a few days of practice? This little disciple is still too young!¡± Naturally, there were those who disagreed. Wukong smiled and said, ¡°I think¡­ We can train like the little girl and rest for a few days asionally.¡± Master Yijian, ¡°¡­.¡± Others might not know, but Yijian knew. His disciple had already applied for leave, saying that she was going on a mission. Master Yijian¡¯s first reaction was that his disciple was out of money. As expected, no sword cultivator in the world could escape the fate of poverty. At this moment, all the disciples had formed a circle and were looking at Xiong Ye in the middle. Xiong Ye took out a jade slip and sent a message to Dong Xi. Everyone was envious. Xiong Ye actually had the spiritual breath of Junior Sister Dong Xi? As expected, he shouldn¡¯t have been so shy two days ago and talked to his Junior Sister. Perhaps he could have asked for her spiritual breath? Just as everyone was feeling vexed, Xiong Ye excitedly raised the jade slip and said to everyone, ¡°Junior Sister replied to my voice message! Quiet down, let¡¯s hear what Junior Sister Dong Xi has to say!¡± In an instant, the sword-testing array became very quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xiong Ye clicked on the voice message from Dong Xi. ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m going out to do a mission. My swordsmanship needs to be honed in actualbat,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi had just finished her battle with a Frost Spider and sessfully obtained the demon beast¡¯s inner core when he saw the message from Xiong Ye on the jade slip. Dong Xi immediately replied with a voice message and sighed. However, because of this, the Sword Sect almost did not have any more missions. The Sword Sect had the most missions in the entire sect every year. They were already very hardworking. Now, everyone took two to three months toplete their missions before they set off. The entire Sword Sect had been empty! This matter had even rmed the Sect Master! Chapter 166 - 166 Are Things Tough for the Sword Sect? 166 Are Things Tough for the Sword Sect? Wei Nan invited Master Yijian to the cave. He had also epted some missions these days and was ready to go to the sect. He did not expect the Sect Master to call him at this time. As soon as Master Yijian entered, he saw the Sect Master¡¯s concerned gaze. Master Yijian was not used to this. He frowned and asked in a bashful manner, ¡°Sect Master, why did you call me over?¡± ¡°Yijian,¡± Wei Nan sighed. ¡°Are things tough for the Sword Sect? ¡± Master Yijian was speechless. Yijian was a little suspicious. Right now, every disciple in Sword Sect was filled with fighting spirit and worked hard toplete missions. In a short period of time, they would be able to obtain a lot of resources. Sword Sect had never been so rich before, so why did the Sect Master ask this? ¡°Senior Brother, why do you say so?¡± Master Yijian asked. Wei Nan personally poured tea for Yijian, and Wei Nan said, ¡°I heard that the Sword Sect is now empty. Even the new disciples who have just broken through to the second level of the Qi Refinement stage have gone out toplete missions. Did the Sword Sect encounter some difficulties?¡± Daoist Yijian wanted to say that it wasn¡¯t difficult, but he seemed to have thought of something. He immediately put on a worried expression and said, ¡± Sect Master, you don¡¯t know this, but the cultivation of our Sword Sect consumes a lot of elixirs and spirit stones. Recently, I dug two pools for them to have better cultivation, so the expenses are very high. Those young disciples are all sensible and good children. They know that it¡¯s not easy to cultivate in the Sword Sect, so they fight to go out and do missions. Daoist Yijian heaved a long sigh and looked at the Sect Master with a mournful look. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. If I wasn¡¯t so useless as an elder and so poor, my disciples wouldn¡¯t be like this.¡± When Weinan heard Yijian¡¯s words, he frowned. The Ningtian Sect was one of the eight great sects of the Eastern Continent. Would they have such poor disciples? Wei Nan immediately said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you report the matter of the Sword Sect building the medicine pool? In terms of resources, I can¡¯t favor the Sword Sect, but the sect can still provide the basic infrastructure.¡± When Master Yijian heard the Sect Master¡¯s words, he knew that his goal had been achieved. Yijian was happy, but he still had a worried expression on his face. Yijian said, ¡°I am also afraid of making things difficult for you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Wei Nan said. ¡°This kind of basic infrastructure is what the sect should have. How many spirit stones did you spend to build the pool? ¡± ¡°A total of 2,000 high-grade spirit stones,¡± Yijian immediately replied. Hearing this number, Wei Nan smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you these spirit stones.¡± ¡°Thank you for your generosity, Sect Master!¡± Master Yijian immediately cupped his fists and said. ¡°Calcte all the spiritual nts you need every month,¡± Wei Nan said. ¡°Next time, buy them with the alchemy master.¡± ¡°Yes, Sect Master!¡± Yijian immediately replied. Yijian thought that he had gained a huge advantage, so he went back happily with the spirit stones given by the Sect Master. When he returned to the Sword Sect, he did not forget to call the other elders over to show off. ¡°Keep these spirit stones,¡± Master Yijian said, ¡°And give them to the disciples to use for body tempering.¡± Then, Yijian looked at Wukong and said, ¡°Master Wukong, I¡¯m going out to do a mission. You can keep this spirit stone.¡± ¡°No,¡± said Wukong. ¡°My disciples have all gone out to do missions. I¡¯ve also taken a few missions to go out!¡± Master Yijian looked at the other elders, but they all shook their heads. ¡°Forget it,¡± Master Yijian sighed. ¡°I¡¯ll take it and send it to Master Lingxu. When the Alchemy Sect buys something next time, they can help our Sword Sect buy some.¡± The rest of the elders agreed to this. After poaching Lingxu¡¯s disciples twice, Master Yijian came to find him again. ¡­ Dong Xi had indeed run all the way there. In her storage ring, she had the medicinal pills that her Eldest Senior Brother had refined for her. Even though she could imagine the difficulties and dangers she would encounter along the way, there was one thing that Dong Xi had not expected. Dong Xi would never have guessed that the shoes on her feet would break in the middle of running. Dong Xi picked up the shoe sole that had fallen off and sighed helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m not rich, to begin with, and now things are getting worse!¡± Dong Xi muttered to himself. Without shoes to wear, Dong Xi could only walk barefoot. This rugged mountain road is so ufortable to walk on. Forget it, I¡¯ll just treat it as a foot massage. She finally arrived at a town. There was a market here, but it basically sold some special products. After looking for a long time, she finally saw a shoe seller. Dong Xi immediately walked to the shoe stall and asked, ¡°Auntie, how much do these shoes cost?¡± Chapter 167 - 167 Do I Look like a Human to You? 167 Do I Look like a Human to You? The stall owner¡¯s aunt had a hunched back and her head was wrapped in a handkerchief. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s voice, the aunt raised her head and looked at the little girl in front of her, a strange smile appearing on her face. Dong Xi immediately had a bad feeling. She immediately circted her cultivation technique, but she really did not feel any sense of danger. Just as Dong Xi had calmed down, the smile on the aunt¡¯s face deepened and her slender eyes narrowed. She seemed to be particrly happy. Dong Xi frowned. Just as she was about to leave, the middle-aged woman suddenly spoke. Her voice was a little sharp and did noot sound like something someone of her age should have. ¡°Little Fairy, do I look like a human?¡± asked the aunt. Dong Xi was stunned. She instantly recalled a folk legend he had heard in her previous life. ¡°I think you look like an Immortal!¡± Dong Xi said after thinking for a moment. The aunt in front of him was very happy after hearing this. A yellow light shed on her body. Dong Xi instinctively squinted her eyes and opened them again. The aunt was no longer in front of him. It was a girl in a pink dress. The girl¡¯s eyes were long and thin, and her skin was white. She bowed respectfully to Dong Xi and said, ¡°Thank you for your help, Fairy.¡± After she finished speaking, she gave the basket with shoes to Dong Xi. The girl then said, ¡°Fairy, I¡¯ll give you these shoes.¡± Dong Xi was very happy. She had gotten shoes for free, and it was enough to use for a while. Dong Xi wanted to give her spirit stones, but the youngdy immediately refused. ¡°You¡¯ve helped me so much, so it¡¯s only right for me to give you these shoes. Fairy, you don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± Dong Xi saw that they were all ordinary shoes, not as good as the storm shoes from before. Dong Xi epted it without hesitation and said, ¡°Thank you for the shoes, Fairy.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi immediately took out a pair of shoes and put them on. Then, she turned around and said goodbye to thedy. Unexpectedly, thisdy had been following behind Dong Xi the entire time. Dong Xi looked around and realized that the townspeople were all looking at thedy with envy. A thought suddenly appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Everyone in this town needed her help too? It was probably not an ordinary town, but a gathering ce for demon beasts. After walking for a long time, when the sky had turned dark, Dong Xi turned back to look at the girl behind him. ¡°Where are you going, Fairy?¡± asked Dong Xi. The girl in pink immediately walked forward and said respectfully, ¡°You don¡¯t have to call me Fairy. I¡¯m Qianqian, a fox who has cultivated in this Eastern Mountain for a thousand years. If it wasn¡¯t for your help, I don¡¯t know when I would be able to transform!¡± However, Dong Xi did not quite understand. She asked,¡±You¡¯re so young, but you¡¯ve already reached the transformation stage?¡± When the fox heard this, she smiled and said, ¡°If I had really reached the transformation stage, why would hee here to ask for a title?¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s confused look, she quickly exined, ¡°Our fox race will cultivate for a period of time before we cane out to seek for a title. If the fated person is able to help us, we will be able to transform. However, our cultivation speed will not be as fast.¡± Then, she saluted again and said, ¡°I¡¯m so lucky today to have met you, Fairy. This year, when the mountain gate closes, I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be able toe out again.¡± Dong Xi also understood. She said, ¡°My name is Dong Xi. It¡¯s just fate. Fairy, you don¡¯t have to be so grateful. I¡¯m heading to Fotai City. Are you also heading in this direction?¡± Qianqian shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know where I should go. Since you¡¯re going to Fotai City, how about I go with you? There¡¯s an uncle in my n who has a shop in Futai city. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Dong Xi thought that it was good that she had apanion. Half a day passed, and the two of them had only walked about forty miles when she could not help but ask, ¡°Xiaoxi, you don¡¯t have any movement techniques?¡± She did not know how long he would have to walk like this. ¡°There are movement techniques and magic tools,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°But I¡¯m currently refining my body, so I¡¯m not in a hurry to go.¡± Qianqian seemed to understand and nodded. After thinking for a while, she asked, ¡°You¡¯re an ascetic?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± However, it was not as hard as bitter cultivation. ¡°I¡¯m a body cultivator,¡± Dong Xi emphasized again. Qianqian immediately understood and said, ¡°Yes, we do need to train. The human body is too weak.¡± Seeing the moon rise, the two people who were originally sweet-smelling stopped together. One began to cultivate, and the other knelt on the ground respectfully and began to worship the moon. Chapter 168 - 168 The Human City Is Really Spectacular 168 The Human City Is Really Spectacr After a night, their fatigue disappeared. The two of them opened their eyes and looked at each other. If it was not for the fact that he was certain that the original body was a human, Dong Xi would have suspected that the original body was rted to the fox tribe. Every day, they cultivated with the help of the moonlight. The fox tribe also cultivated with the help of the moonlight! Dong Xi thought for a long time and realized that the fox was gone. !! Dong Xi felt someone behind her. When she turned around, she saw Qianqian frowning at her feet. ¡°Fairy Qianqian, why are you looking at my feet?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. Qianqian touched her chin and said, ¡°I just turned into a human, so it¡¯s still a little ugly when I walk. But you look good when you walk. I want to learn from you.¡± Dong Xi nodded. Qianqian¡¯s walking was indeed a little strange. Dong Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. You¡¯ll have more or less learned it when we reach Fotai City.¡± Ever since he left with Wan Wan, Dong Xi had not encountered any demon beasts on the way. Dong Xi should have tempered her body and practiced her sword. He did not neglect anything. It would be a monthter when the two of them arrived at Fotai City. ¡°Wow!¡± Qianqian eximed in surprise. Dong Xi looked at Qianqian, who said in shock, ¡°A human city is truly magnificent!¡± Looking at the fox tail, Dong Xi carefully blocked it. Dong Xi reminded, ¡°Sister, your tail is out again!¡± Qianqian immediately retracted her tail when she heard this. Then, she covered her mouth with her hand and stuck out her tongue. She said resentfully, ¡°I¡¯m a little too excited!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and walked towards the city gate. Dong Xi said, ¡°Sister, where is your uncle in Fotai City?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Qianqian shook her head and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen my uncle in 300 years.¡± 300 years old. The people in the cultivation world all took at least 100 years. Dong Xi, who was not even 20 years old, was a little shocked. Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll look around once we¡¯re inside. We should be able to find him. Our sect has a base in Fotai City. I can ask my Senior Brother for help. We¡¯ll definitely be able to find him. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Qianqian immediately said. The process required payment of spirit stones. Thinking that Qianqian had just transformed into human form and did not have any spirit stones, Dong Xi paid for her as well. Qianqian also felt that Dong Xi was a good person, so she said, ¡°In the past, the people in the tribe said that the human race was treacherous. Now it seems that the tribe was wrong!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that absolute,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°No matter what race it is, there will always be bad foxes. Take your fox race for example. Don¡¯t you have any bad foxes? There are naturally bad people in the human race. Sister Qian, you need to be careful when you walk in the human world in the future.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll remember it,¡± Qianqian nodded. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m going to help someone with something now. Sister, you can walk around the city and see if you can find your uncle. If you¡¯re tired, you can wait for me at the station of the Ningtian Sect. I¡¯ll go back and find you when I¡¯m done. Then, we can find your uncle together.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Qianqian nodded. Dong Xi had just taken a few steps when she seemed to have thought of something. She immediately walked to Qianqian¡¯s side and said again, ¡°Sister Qian, you must hide your tail well!¡± Although the Qianqian had already transformed into a human, her strength was a little low. Her current strength was only around the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Otherwise, there were all kinds of people in the city. If they encountered bad people, they might capture her and take her back as a pet or spirit object. Qianqian nodded obediently, and Dong Xi left with peace of mind. Dong Xi had originally thought that the Love Smoke Tower mentioned by the snake would be easier to find. In the end, no one knew anything about it. Dong Xi¡¯s first reaction was to wonder if the snake was lying. But thinking about it, something wasn¡¯t right. The great snake was so serious at that time, and he did not seem like he was lying! In the end, Dong Xi found out about Love Smoke Tower from an old man. ¡°Love Smoke Tower?¡± the old man asked. ¡°There are still young people who know about this!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she squatted down beside the old man and immediately asked, ¡°Old man, you know about Love Smoke Tower?¡± The old man nodded and recalled, ¡°This Love Smoke Tower was originally just a joke. That ce first caught fire for no reason, and then it rained for a few days. After the fire went out, there was white smoke everywhere. At that time, someone rushed in to save his lover, and in the end, both of them died inside, so it was called Love Smoke Tower!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face revealed an ¡®I see¡¯ look, and then she asked with a gossipy look, ¡°Old man, does this Love Smoke Tower still exist? What does it look like now?¡± Chapter 169 - 169 Tengshe Street 169 Tengshe Street The old man looked at the pipe and blew out a white smoke ring. He continued, ¡°That ce hasn¡¯t been rebuilt. It¡¯s very strange. Not only that ce, but the entire street is strange. Who would go there for good people?¡± ¡°A street?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°What¡¯s the street called?¡± ¡°Tengshe Street,¡± the old man replied. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s curious look, the old man smiled and said, ¡°Little girl, that ce is not somewhere a child like you can go. Don¡¯t wander around too much.¡± Dong Xi smiled and quickly agreed. She turned around and left to find out where Tengshe Street was. Dong Xi asked as she walked, searching all the way until he reached the entrance of Tengshe Street. At this time, Dong Xi finally understood why the old man had said that this ce was strange. It was broad daylight, and the sun was shining brightly. However, the street seemed to be very dark and cold. Dong Xi stood at the entrance of the street and hesitated for a long time. She thought that the snake probably would not have tricked her toe so far to die. Thinking of this, Dong Xi walked in. As Dong Xi entered, a cold aura filled her entire body. Dong Xi shuddered. This feeling was very ufortable. After circting it once, the cold feeling was much better. Dong Xi directly wrapped herself in spiritual Qi and quickly walked in. All the houses on the street had their doors tightly shut. They were all in bad condition, and some of the windows were even broken. Dong Xi felt that she was being watched, and the further she walked, the stronger this feeling became. Until Dong Xi stood in front of a ruin, looked up at the half-copsed building, and said, ¡°Is Lady Rong still here?¡± In the streets, there was no response other than the sound of the wind blowing. Dong Xi called out a few more times, but there was still no reply. Dong Xi thought that perhaps the person had left long ago, so she could only sigh softly. He suddenly felt that the snake was a little pitiful. He was seriously injured and his lover had left. Dong Xi turned around to leave, but she entered a barrier. The surrounding scene instantly changed. It was still the same street, but the street was no longer as dpidated. Instead, it was very lively. There were merchants weing and sending off gifts, and all kinds of pedestrians. A beauty in her thirties walked over from not far away. The woman asked, ¡°You were the one looking for me?¡± The woman¡¯s voice was a littlezy. When Dong Xi, a youngdy, heard it, her bones felt a little weak. Behind this woman was the Love Smoke Tower, which was not dpidated at all. Beautiful women sat by the window and drank wine, attracting many cultivators to enter. Dong Xi retracted her gaze and looked at the woman in front of her. Dong Xi asked, ¡°You are Lady Rong?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the woman nodded.¡±Who are you?¡± Where did you find out about me?¡± Dong Xi knew that there was something strange about this ce, so she did not dare to ask. After all, the more she knew, the faster she would die. Dong Xi immediately took out the token and handed it to Lady Rong. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m just an errand boy. I¡¯m here to deliver the token. He told me to just give this to you.¡± Lady Rong did not care about it at first, but when she saw the big snake on the token, it was as if she was struck by lightning. Her expression changed drastically. Looking at Dong Xi, Lady Rong became more respectful and said, ¡°Pleasee with me, let¡¯s talk inside.¡± Lady Rong made an inviting gesture, and Dong Xi walked up the steps. The people who entered here were all young and strong, and a girl like Dong Xi was the odd one out. When the crowd saw Dong Xi, they were all very surprised. However, when they saw Lady Rong beside her, they restrained themselves. Dong Xi followed behind Lady Rong until they reached the roof. Lady Rong immediately made a hand seal, and the house was surrounded by a barrier. Lady Rong then said, ¡°Where is the person who gave you the token? Who are you to him?¡± Those who could be chosen by the demon were definitely trustworthy, so Lady Rong did not have any doubts. ¡°He¡¯s living in my house, and I¡¯m his Master,¡± said Dong Xi directly. In any case, the two of them had already concluded a contract, so there was nothing wrong with saying this. Upon hearing this, Mother Rong¡¯s heart was in her mouth. The Demon Lord had always disdained to be with humans. Now, this little girl actually dared to say that she was the Demon Lord¡¯s Master? Of course, Lady Rong did not believe it. The Demon Lord was so powerful. There was no one in this world who was worthy of being the Demon Lord¡¯s master. This little girl must be talking nonsense! ¡°Where is your home?¡± asked Lady Rong. Lady Rong had to ask clearly so that she could quickly find Demon Lord. If it took too long and was discovered by those sanctimonious hypocrites, there would definitely be a lot of trouble! ¡°It¡¯s on the other side of the mountain!¡± Said Dong Xi. Chapter 170 - 170 Do You Believe Me Now? 170 Do You Believe Me Now? When Lady Rong heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she was silent. Lady Rong raised her hand and ced it on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder. She bent over and looked at Dong Xi, her eyes as coy as silk. Dong Xi did not care at all, but she sighed in her heart. These demons were truly born with charm. It was a pity that this Lady Rong was not even one in a million of the great snake. The great snake had such a handsome face. He did not even need to say anything and just stood there and won. Lady Rong¡¯s hand on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder slowly grew long and ck, and the branch moved toward Dong Xi¡¯s neck bit by bit. ¡°Are you ying with me, little girl?¡± asked Lady Rong. ¡°I don¡¯t have that much patience.¡± Dong Xi raised her head and looked at Mother Rong¡¯s face. A smile appeared on her face as she circted her spiritual Qi to cover her entire body. Whoosh¡­ A ball of fire emerged from her shoulder and ignited Mother Rong¡¯s branch. ¡°Ah!¡± Mother Rong cried out in rm and immediately pulled her hand back. She pped the fire wildly and finally managed to put it out. She turned to look at Dong Xi, her eyes even gloomier. Seeing Mother Rong in such a sorry state, Dong Xi shrugged her shoulders and said, ¡°I¡¯ll help the big snake run errands and send things over. The snake didn¡¯t say anything else. If you don¡¯t believe me¡­¡± Dong Xi tilted her head and pondered for a moment. Then, she extended her right hand, and a ball of green spiritual Qi appeared. Dong Xi looked at Lady Rong, whose expression had changed drastically, and said with an innocent face, ¡°Do you believe me now?¡± Lady Rong looked at the green spiritual Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s hand in shock. The Demon Lord¡¯s spiritual Qi was highly toxic. The fact that this little girl could use it meant that it was given to her by the Demon Lord! Dong Xi snapped her fingers, and the spiritual Qi in her hand dissipated. With her hands behind her back, Dong Xi looked at Lady Rong and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already given you this token. You have to send me out.¡± Lady Rong did not dare to act rashly now. The fact that this girl did not say anything should be the demon¡¯s request. ¡°Fairy, may I ask if Master is doing well?¡± asked Lady Rong immediately with respect. Dong Xi thought that although the snake¡¯s wound would emit a foul smell from time to time, he could still throw her around. Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°That snake? He¡¯s doing good!¡± Upon hearing this, Lady Rong said with relief, ¡°Since he¡¯s good, I¡¯m relieved.¡± Lady Rong took out a porcin bottle and ced it in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. She said, ¡°Fairy, this is the poisonous Insect Queen that my subordinates found. If you bring it back, it¡¯ll be good for treating injuries.¡± Lady Rong was not afraid that Dong Xi would embezzle this thing. If Demon Lord could give spiritual Qi to this little girl to use, it meant that this little girl could be trusted. Secondly, this poisonous Insect Queen was not something that ordinary people could use. Dong Xi took it and looked at it curiously. The queen of venomous insects did not sound like a good thing. If the great snake could even absorb this, it must not be a good thing. Dong Xi put away the porcin bottle and said, ¡°May I trouble Lady Rong to send me out?¡± Just as the two of them were about to leave, someone came in. This person was tall and sturdy. He stood at the door and blocked most of the light. The man¡¯s voice was very rough, as if someone was polishing their ears. He said, ¡°Ah, Lady Rong, you have a guest?¡± Lady Rong responded casually, then asked the others to invite this guy in. However, she did not expect this person to not move at all. He walked around the crowd and looked directly at Dong Xi. ¡°Is this a human?¡± the man asked. Lady Rong was still hoping that Dong Xi would return to the Demon Lord. She couldn¡¯t let anyone keep her here. She immediately stepped in front of Dong Xi and said, ¡°Lord Niu Shan, she¡¯s just a little girl who barged in by mistake. I¡¯ll send her out now!¡± ¡°Lady Rong, you¡¯ve be more and more kind now?¡± Niu Shan said with a faint smile. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business what I do!¡± Lady Rong said coldly. ¡°Niu Shan, don¡¯t forget that this is a small space created by our family¡¯s hitman. You were able to escape from the pursuit of the human and demon race because our family took you in.¡± ¡°Your family is indeed good at beating people up,¡± said Niu Shan. ¡°We¡¯re all convinced. But now, we don¡¯t even know if your family¡¯s beating person is dead or alive. We have to n for our future.¡± Niu Shan¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at Dong Xi. He said, ¡°She¡¯s just a young human. How can shee here? What if she brings other people here next time?¡± Lady Rong took out the token that Dong Xi had just given her and said, ¡°My Lord is doing very well now. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I¡¯ll break your legs!¡± Under the candlelight, the snake on the token was very lifelike. Niu Shan and the others immediately shut their mouths. As long as the Demon Lord was alive, they would be able to survive in this ce. Otherwise, they would all die! Chapter 171 - 171 I’ve Been Thrown Out Again 171 I¡¯ve Been Thrown Out Again Su Cheng was also really powerful. The 81 lightning bolts did not kill him, and the eight big sects even took the opportunity to kill him. In the end, they were all injured by Su Cheng. Just as Niu Shan was about to say something, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Since Su Cheng did not die, it meant that the demon had sessfully passed the Tribtion, right? But why was he still in this space? Didn¡¯t he Ascend? However, just as Niu Shan was in a daze, Lady Rong waved her sleeve and threw Dong Xi out, closing the door behind her. Dong Xi¡¯s butt hit the ground. It was so painful that Dong Xi sucked in a breath of cold air. She rubbed her butt and got up, only to find that he had once again returned to that dpidated street. The copsed buildings and the puddles on the streets were dense. Originally, she thought that he would be able to get some money by helping the big snake deliver stuff. She did not expect that he would be thrown out again without any tea. Forget it, the things have been delivered anyway. I can go back and exin to the big snake. However, from their conversation just now, this space seemed to have been opened up by the big snake? It was too awesome! Although Dong Xi was only a fifth-stage Qi Refinement cultivator, he knew that anything rted to space and time was an absolute art! As Dong Xi praised, she cast a cleaning spell on himself before walking towards the Ningtian Sect. She did not know if she had found the n number at this time. Dong Xi strolled around as she walked. When she saw the stalls selling treasured weapons and medicinal pills, as well as the fortune-telling monastic monk, Dong Xi turned around and saw a familiar thing. She smiled. She walked straight to the fortune-telling stall on the street. There was a banner next to the stall with the words ¡®Divine Fortune-Telling¡¯ written on it. In front of the stall, two people seemed to have some dispute. A robust man grabbed the old man¡¯s cor and lifted him up. ¡°You told me that I¡¯ve been very lucky recently. I went to the jewelry store and opened more than 70 gift boxes, but there was nothing!¡± The man said. ¡°What do you say?¡± The old man immediately cupped his fists and said with a sad face, ¡°A person¡¯s luck changes at any time. I said that you have good luck in money, but you insisted on getting some money. Now that you¡¯ve lost money, youe to me. There¡¯s no such reason!¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of my business,¡± the burly man said. ¡°Just pay me for the gift boxes! Otherwise, I¡¯ll smash your stall!¡± ¡°Then you can do whatever you want,¡± the old man said. ¡°I really don¡¯t have any money!¡± The old man was already so poor that he came here to fool others, how could he have the money to pay? The brawny man did not dare to really make a move. This was Fotai City. If he made a move, he would have to go to the arena. If he made a move privately, he would be thrown out! In the end, he could only smash the old man¡¯s stall to vent his anger. The old man seemed to be used to it. After the brawny man left, the old man took out a table from his storage ring and put it down. After cleaning up the mess on the ground, he stroked his beard in satisfaction and returned to his previous Sage-like and profound appearance. Dong Xi walked to the old man¡¯s stall and stopped. The old man looked at the little girl and frowned, ¡°Such a small child also needs fortune-telling?¡± Dong Xi raised her eyebrows. These words sounded very familiar. Li Li, who had asked thisst time, was still in seclusion at the foot of her master¡¯s mountain! ¡°I¡¯m not here for divination, old man,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile and a shake of his head. ¡°But I have something to ask you.¡± The old man frowned and said with a serious face, ¡°One question, two low-grade spirit stones.¡± Dong Xi took out a spirit stone and ced it on the table. With a smile on her face, Dong Xi said, ¡°Old man, can I ask now?¡± The old man immediately put away the spirit stones. He rolled his eyes and coughed a few times. He stroked his beard and said, ¡°You can ask.¡± Dong Xi waved her hand, signaling the old man toe closer. The old man curiously stretched his head over. Dong Xi said, ¡°What did that person say when you asked for the title?¡± The old man¡¯s face immediately darkened. He pointed at Dong Xi and said, ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡± Seeing the old man so excited, Dong Xi smiled and pressed down the old man¡¯s finger. Dong Xi asked, ¡°What did I do?¡± The old man looked at Dong Xi warily. His eyes rolled and he asked with a fox-like look, ¡°How did you know?¡± Dong Xi did not continue to tease the old man and directly said, ¡°You should be an uncle from the Qianqian¡¯s tribe, right?¡± The old man said, ¡°Qianqian? Why does it sound so familiar?¡± The old man had not gone back to see his nsmen for 300 years. All these years, he had been setting up a stall in Fotai City. He had met countless people every day, so how could he still remember them clearly? The old man thought carefully and said, ¡°I think I know her. Are you her friend?¡± yes! Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡± I got to know Qianqian that day when she asked me for a title!¡± Hearing that the two of them had such fate, the old man¡¯s face immediately became serious. Asking for a title was a great favor to the fox! Chapter 172 - 172 You Rate Is Too Expensive for Me 172 You Rate Is Too Expensive for Me The old man stood up and saluted Dong Xi respectfully. The old man said, ¡°Thank you for your help, fairy. I¡¯m called Yi Li, and I¡¯ve been in Fotai City for a few hundred years. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand in the future, juste and ask me.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said with a serious face, ¡°Old man, your rates are too expensive. I can¡¯t afford it!¡± It was rare for Yu Li to be so serious, and now, she was almost breaking down! Yu Li immediately took out the spirit stones and returned them to Dong Xi, saying, ¡°If I knew that you¡¯ve done Qianqian a favor, I wouldn¡¯t have dared to ept it. You don¡¯t have to call me an old man either. Just call me ¡®Uncle¡¯ as Qianqian does.¡± ¡°Uncle Yu Li?¡± Dong Xi blinked and called out. Yu Liughed. He suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°Fairy, how did you know that I¡¯m Qianqian¡¯s uncle?¡± Dong Xi deliberately kept him in suspense and said, ¡°Because of¡­¡± Seeing that Yu Li wanted to know immediately, Dong Xicai said, ¡°Because there¡¯s one thing about you that¡¯s very simr to you!¡± ¡°What is it?¡± asked Yu Li anxiously. Dong Xi moved closer to Yu Li and said in a low voice, ¡°You and Qianqian can¡¯t hide your tails well!¡± Yu Li, ¡°¡­¡± Yu Li had been in Futai city for so long, how could he not have hidden well? It was all because of that person who had lifted him up. His clothes could not cover himself at all, so only the tip of his tail was exposed! Forget it, I¡¯ll be more careful in the future. Yu Li looked at Dong Xi and asked, ¡°Where is my niece now?¡± ¡°She should be looking for you all over the city. Why don¡¯t you close your stall and wait for her at the Ningtian Sect¡¯s encampment with me?¡± said Dong Xi. This time, Yu Li did not say anything. He just kept her stall and followed Dong Xi. After turning a few corners and exiting the alley once more, a red glow appeared on Yu Li¡¯s body. A young man in red appeared beside Dong Xi. Dong Xi felt the change in spiritual Qi. When she turned around, she was stunned. If the great snake was described as a feminine and dangerous beauty, then the one in front of him was a hot and gorgeous beauty. ¡°This?¡± Dong Xi eximed. You!!!¡± Dong Xi suddenly felt that the cultivation world was not bad at all! She must have been doing good in the 18 years of her previous life. Otherwise, how could she have met so many handsome men? However, Dong Xi could not say the words ¡®Uncle Yu Li¡¯ to such a handsome young man. When Yu Li saw Dong Xi¡¯s reaction, he felt a little troubled. He frowned and sighed helplessly. The handsome man sighed. He was still so good-looking. ¡°Why are you sighing?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°With such a handsome face, you should be happy every day.¡± Yu Li looked at Dong Xi and asked softly, ¡°Am I handsome?¡± ¡°Of course you¡¯re handsome!¡± Dong Xi nodded and immediately replied. ¡°It¡¯s only right to say that you¡¯re rare in the human world!¡± Dong Xi looked at the handsome faces of the great snake and Second Senior Brother every day, but she still felt that Yi Li was very handsome. But in the next moment, Yu Li cried out, ¡°Of course I¡¯m handsome. This is what I got in exchange for my cultivation! Dong Xi was stunned. She could not ept it. Why did he say that it was exchanged for cultivation? No, it should be asking for a title! ¡°What did you say when you were asking for the title?¡± asked Dong Xi. Yu Li almost burst into tears. ¡°That woman said that I was a man with a smile on my face, with eyebrows like green feathers and skin as white as snow,¡± Yu Li replied. ¡°It¡¯s my fault!¡± Dong Xi said after a moment of silence. Dong Xi¡¯s words puzzled Yu Li. Yu Li looked at Dong Xi carefully, then said, ¡°What do you mean by your fault? You weren¡¯t even born when I asked for the title, right?¡± Dong Xi lowered her head and frowned. She said guiltily, ¡°Why didn¡¯t I think of this word at that time? It¡¯s my fault that I didn¡¯t study well. Otherwise, I could¡¯ve gotten Qianqian a peerless face too!¡± Yu Li, ¡°¡­¡± He had originally thought that Dong Xi would say a few words offort, but he had not expected it to be like this! Dong Xi looked at Yu Li and immediately asked, ¡°You said you exchanged it with your cultivation? What do you mean?¡± Yu Li sighed, ¡°When the fox race was being conferred the title, if we were to be Immortals, our cultivation base would be left behind. If we were to be called humans, our cultivation base would be dispersed and we¡¯ll take on the human form.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she frowned and said, ¡°But I noticed that you have spiritual energy around you.¡± Yu Li looked at Dong Xi, finding it hard to exin in a few words. ¡°Little girl, I¡¯ve been in Fotai City for hundreds of years. My aptitude is still good. I can still cultivate.¡± Dong Xi could not hold on to her smile and immediately coughed a few times, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and see Qianqian. Otherwise, she¡¯ll be waiting anxiously!¡± Chapter 173 - 173 I’m Not Usually like This 173 I¡¯m Not Usually like This Dong Xi had almost forgotten that the cultivation world was not all about looks. Dong Xi brought Yu Li to the Ningtian Sect¡¯s encampment. Along the way, there were always people watching the two of them. Dong Xi also knew that these people were looking at Yu Li. In the cultivation world, where handsome men and beautiful women were everywhere, Yu Li¡¯s appearance was considered top-notch. However, Dong Xi was still very curious. She asked, ¡°Yu Li, you¡¯ve been here for a few hundred years, aren¡¯t these people used to your face?¡± Yu Li subconsciously wanted to stroke his beard, but he raised his hand and awkwardly put it down. ¡°I¡¯m not like this usually.¡± Dong Xi instantly understood. She said, ¡°Indeed, no one would believe you if he came out to swindle people with this appearance!¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Yu Li was extremely dissatisfied. ¡°What swindling? How could fortune-telling be urate every time? Moreover, people¡¯s fates are constantly changing!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the one who hasn¡¯t seen the world, please don¡¯t hold it against me,¡± said Dong Xi immediately with cupped fists. Yu Li snorted coldly, but did not say anything. Dong Xi let out a sigh of relief. Yu Li asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you call me Uncle Yu Li?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Of course not. Who could call him uncle with his young face? Qianqian walked around Fotai City a few times, but she did not find her uncle or Dong Xi. She rubbed her hungry stomach and went to the Ningtian Sect¡¯s encampment alone. When Li He heard that he was here to look for Dong Xi, he poured a cup of tea for himself. Li He said, ¡°Did Junior Sistere with you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Qianqian nodded. ¡°Xiaoxi said she had something to do and asked me to wait for her here.¡± As soon as she said that, her stomach growled. Li He immediately gave her a Fasting Pill. Qianqian felt a little awkward. Just as she was at a loss for what to do, a voice came from outside. Qianqian turned around and saw Dong Xiing in with a man. Qianqian immediately looked happy. She got up and walked over, saying, ¡°Xiaoxi, you¡¯re back! Is everything done?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all done,¡± said Dong Xi while holding Qianqian¡¯s hand. Qianqian looked at the person beside Dong Xi and asked in confusion, ¡°Xiaoxi, this is¡­¡± Dong Xi also said with a face full of doubt, ¡°Sister Qian, aren¡¯t you looking for your uncle?¡± Why didn¡¯t they know each other? How was she going to find him? Qianqian was stunned for a moment. She looked up at the bracelet on her wrist and said, ¡°It¡¯s not bright?¡± Yu Li looked at a little fool and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t bring it with me, so of course, there wouldn¡¯t be a reaction.¡± Qianqian sized him up and asked, ¡°Is this really my n uncle?¡± ¡°I can see his tail. It¡¯s red!¡± Dong Xi nodded. Qianqian¡¯s eyes lit up and she said, ¡°Red fox? He really is my n uncle!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to seek shelter with Uncle,¡± Jian Jia said honestly. ¡°I just transformed a few days ago and came out to look for you. I don¡¯t know where to go.¡± It was already difficult for Yu Li to support himself. Now that there was one more person, Yu Li was really worried. However, it was not good to reject him directly, so Yu Li said, ¡°You¡­¡± When Li He heard their conversation, he asked excitedly, ¡°Transformation? You are demonic beasts?¡± Dong Xi was worried that Senior Brother Li He was the kind of ruthless person who would exterminate evil and defend the Dao, so she immediately exined, ¡°They are all good demonic beasts! Senior brother, don¡¯t be nervous!¡± Li He looked at the two seriously and said, ¡°I¡¯m not making things difficult for the two of you. This is not Fotai City. Once you¡¯re discovered by the guards, they¡¯ll definitely attack you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ve been here for hundreds of years, I¡¯m used to hiding here and there, but ¡­¡± Yu Li then turned to Qianqian, who reacted and said, ¡°I understand, Uncle. I¡¯ll leave this ce.¡± ¡°Where can you go? You still want to walk in the Immortal world with your cultivation level?¡± Qianqian did not say anything either, while Yu Li sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. You can follow me from now on. However, your future days won¡¯t be easy.¡± Dong Xi saw that they were in a difficult position and said to Li He, ¡°Senior Brother, they are all good demonic beasts. It¡¯s not easy for them to cultivate. If they encounter any difficulties in the future, please help them if you can.¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she secretly gave Li He a Wind Speed Pill. Li He was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the Wind Speed Pill was a good item. It was enough to get Li He to agree. Li He furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before finallypromising. ¡°Alright, I will help them!¡± Chapter 174 - 174 The Laughter at Night 174 The Laughter at Night Dong Xi smiled and cupped her fists to the crowd. ¡°I still have some missions toplete, so I won¡¯t dy any longer. Goodbye.¡± Seeing Dong Xi leave, Qianqian and Yu Li looked at Li He and cupped their fists in farewell. After Dong Xi left the Ningtian Sect encampment, she immediately went to the location of the first mission. Was this a vige near Fotai City? Every night, there would beughter. Dong Xi¡¯s mission was to find out what was going on and report it to the sect. In her previous life, Dong Xi had been obsessed with all kinds of supernatural horror stories. When she had first seen this mission, Dong Xi had been overjoyed. !! Midnightughter? Was there a ghost? Dong Xi threw away the broken shoes on her feet, changed into a new pair, and walked towards the vige. Dong Xi could see a big willow tree at the vige entrance from afar. The willow tree was very thick and needed two people to hug it. The dense crown of the tree covered the sky at the vige entrance. Dong Xi activated Earth Bending and arrived under the willow tree. There were also a fewrge rocks under the tree. The surface was smooth, and it was obvious that many people used to sit here and chat in the cool. There was a well beside the tree, where the vigers drew water. Dong Xi took a quick look and walked into the vige. The doors of every house were closed. Dong Xi nced at the chimneys. They were all smoking, indicating that there were still people living there. Dong Xi immediately knocked on the door of a house. Dong Xi said, ¡°Is anyone there? I¡¯m just passing by and want to drink some water.¡± The person in the room looked around and realized that it was a little girl. But how could her family be at ease when she came out alone? Thinking of theughter at night, which seemed to be children, the people in the house did not dare to open the door! Dong Xi knocked on the doors of a few houses, but none of them dared to open the door. Dong Xi peeked through the crack of the door and could see some children tied up by their family members. Many families were the same. It was really strange. Dong Xi felt that he should change his strategy. This time, he walked directly to the door of a house and removed the door. The people in the house were all wrapped together. Dong Xi stood at the door and looked at the old couple in the house. Dong Xi said, ¡°You¡¯re all at home, why didn¡¯t you open the door?¡± The two old men immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, ¡°Fairy, please spare me!¡± Dong Xi casually put the door back in ce. After circting her wood spiritual energy, all the damaged parts were repaired. Dong Xi sat at the side and looked at the two old men who were trembling in fear. Dong Xi said, ¡°Get up! Can you tell me why you won¡¯t open the door even though there are people in your house?¡± The olddy looked at Dong Xi and asked in fear, ¡°Y-y-y-you¡¯re an Immortal?¡± Dong Xi stretched out her hand, and a me appeared in her palm. She said, ¡°What do you think?¡± The olddy immediately rxed and said, ¡°Fairy, save me!¡± ¡°Answer my question first,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, how can anyone save you?¡± The olddy said, ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­¡± The two old men talked for a long time, and Dong Xi also understood. From three months ago, this vige had been filled withughter every night. At first, everyone was also afraid, but at most, they did not go out at night and worked normally during the day. But one day, when they were ready to go out to work, they suddenly realized that everyone had gone out of the vige, and they were even more afraid. At this time, everyone also found that the children in the family always ran out in the middle of the night. The families with children were even more afraid, so they could only tie their children up. ¡°There¡¯s only so much food in the vige,¡± the olddy said. ¡°We¡¯ll run out of food one day. What will we do when we run out of food? And those children, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s attracting them, but they run out in the middle of the night. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s scary?¡± Dong Xi frowned. It was indeed a little scary. She had to investigate properly and report it to the sect. At this moment, she finally understood why the mission description was not so detailed. It was because no one could get out of here! ¡°Then can I still go out?¡± Dong Xi asked. The two old men looked at each other and shook their heads, ¡°We don¡¯t know,¡± Dong Xi immediately stood up and used earth shrinking to walk towards the vige entrance. The two old men looked at Dong Xi¡¯s actions and immediately became happy. ¡°Although this female Immortal is very young, she looks quite powerful!¡± the old man said. The olddy also nodded excitedly, ¡°Yup! It¡¯s quite powerful!¡± When Dong Xi arrived at the vige entrance, she found that she was also blocked inside. There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of her blocking his way. Dong Xi circted her spiritual Qi and raised her hand to poke the barrier. She discovered that her finger had actually poked a hole in the barrier. Chapter 175 - 175 Can’t Get Out 175 Can¡¯t Get Out Dong Xi retracted her hand and walked into the vige, pretending that nothing had happened. When the two old men saw Dong Xi return, they immediately went up and asked, ¡°How is it? Fairy, can you go out?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t get out,¡± Dong Xi shook her head. When the two old men heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they immediately said anxiously, ¡°What should we do? Even you couldn¡¯t get out. Are you not a match for these monsters?¡± Dong Xi did not say yes or no. She only said, ¡°You guys sleep tonight, I¡¯ll go out and take a look. Isn¡¯t this thing supposed to attract children? I¡¯m also a child.¡± The two old men said worriedly, ¡°Umm¡­¡± The two old men started to worry. This little female Immortal did not look very old, but the age of this Immortal was usually a mystery. This female Immortal might be a few hundred years old. As night fell, Dong Xi sat at the door, letting the moon shine on her body. Fortunately, although this barrier could block people, it could not block spiritual energy. Dong Xi began to cultivate when she suddenly heardughter. Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw a little girl sitting by the well under the willow tree. She had two pigtails and looked to be seven years old. When Dong Xi saw her, she smiled sweetly at her, and the willow tree swayed slightly as if there was a wind blowing. The two of them were clearly far away, but Dong Xi could clearly hear the little girl¡¯s voice. The little girl said, ¡°Are you here to y with me?¡± Dong Xi stood up and looked at the little girl. Dong Xi said, ¡°That¡¯s right. How do you want to y?¡± The little girl said happily, ¡°How about kicking a shuttlecock? I¡¯m very good at kicking the shuttlecock!¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Dong Xi said. The little girl jumped into the well and soon came back up with a shuttlecock. Dong Xi yed with the little girl for a long time. The little girl kicked the shuttlecock very badly and was no match for Dong Xi. Seeing that the sky was almost bright, Dong Xi said, ¡± ¡°You can¡¯t beat me at all.¡± ¡°This is my first time kicking!¡± The little girl said angrily. Dong Xi suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at the little girl¡¯s shadow under the moonlight and was very puzzled. Wasn¡¯t there a shadow? ¡°You¡¯re a ghost cultivator?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. ¡°No, I¡¯m not. I¡¯m a demon!¡± The little girl shook her head. Dong Xi thought about how themoners had found Daoist priests to exorcise the ghosts, and how a little demon like this girl was more dedicated than ghosts. ¡°You can onlye out to y at midnight?¡± Dong Xi asked with a frown. ¡°No,¡± the little girl shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s just that there¡¯s no one to apany me during the day. I only have someone to apany me at night.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, ¡°Tonight?¡± Someone¡¯s ying with you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± the little girl said. ¡°Ah Leng can onlye out at night.¡± Ah Leng? Who was it? Dong Xi looked at the little girl and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Ah Leng? Why didn¡¯t I see her tonight?¡± ¡°Ah Leng is very shy, she doesn¡¯t dare to meet strangers,¡± the little girl immediately said. Dong Xi thought that theughter at night must havee from the two of them ying at night. ¡°Since you already have someone to y with you, why did you call those children out?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°It¡¯s more lively with more people!¡± the little girl immediately said. There¡¯s nothing wrong with what she was saying¡­ ¡°Do you want to leave with me?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Here, these people are afraid of you. I have other friends at home, we can y together!¡± The little girl shook her head and said with a sad expression, ¡± ¡°I can¡¯t leave this ce.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t we leave?¡± Dong Xi asked. The little girl sighed and said, ¡°I am the demon born from this willow tree. Wherever the willow tree is, I will be there!¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment and said again, ¡°If I cut off a section of this willow branch, can you leave with me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± The little girl shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ll try,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°If it works, I¡¯ll take you back. I have plenty of spiritual energy there and someone to y with you. It¡¯ll definitely be better than here.¡± The little girl was convinced by Dong Xi and agreed to try. Dong Xi raised her hand and broke a section of the willow branch, then walked out with the branch. When the youngdy saw Dong Xi walk out so simply, she was also instantly stunned. Why was she able to walk out? The little girl followed her and found that she had also gone out. The big willow tree behind her was getting further and further away. The little girl stopped, and she was confused. Why did the barrier seem to have lost its effectiveness? Dong Xi stopped and turned to look at the little girl. She found that the little girl was confused. Dong Xi said, ¡°How is it? You¡¯re out now!¡± The little girl looked and murmured, ¡°That¡¯s impossible¡­¡± Chapter 176 - 176 Can’t Cross This Enchantment 176 Can¡¯t Cross This Enchantment Dong Xi returned to the little girl¡¯s side. Dong Xi asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You didn¡¯t expect to be able toe out?¡± The little girl nodded and said seriously, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve tried it before, but I couldn¡¯t get past the barrier.¡± ¡°A barrier?¡± Dong Xi asked, puzzled. Dong Xi¡¯s sharp eyes found the main point. A thought suddenly came to her mind. It was not that the little willow spirit could not get out of her main body, but it was this barrier that was stopping her from getting out, right? ¡°Could it be that you didn¡¯t make this barrier?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°No!¡± The little girl shook her head and said. ¡°It¡¯s the barrier that Ah Leng set up.¡± Dong Xi continued to ask, ¡°Ah Leng? Is she also a demon?¡± The little girl nodded with a serious expression and said to Dong Xi, ¡°That¡¯s right, Ah Leng is also a demon!¡± Dong Xi did not interrupt the little girl¡¯s speech and listened to her. The little girl¡¯s name was Liu Qing, and she had a good friend who was Ah Leng. Ah Leng was a water demon and lived in the well next to it. Liu Qing said, ¡°This barrier was set up by Ah Leng. He just doesn¡¯t want those people to go out. However, those people have reaped what they sowed!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°What have they done?¡± Liu Qing said angrily, ¡°These people begged Ah Leng toe over! However, he got someone to seal Ah Leng in the well, and Ah Leng waspletely unable to leave!¡± Dong Xi continued to ask, ¡°Then Ah Leng should have been in the well for a long time, right? Why did he only set up a barrier for the vige in thest few months?¡± Liu Qing¡¯s cute face was filled with disgust. He frowned and said, ¡°I was ying with Ah Leng and there was some movement. Coincidentally, a Daoist priest came that day and told the vigers that I had be a demon. These people wanted to find someone to cut off my original body. If my original body died, I wouldn¡¯t be able to live. Of course, Ah Leng was unwilling, so he trapped these people!¡± Dong Xi also understood what was going on. She said, ¡°If I have a way to take your main body and leave, will that work?¡± ¡°Can you really take it away?¡± Liu Qing asked in surprise. Then, Liu Qing frowned and said, ¡°No, I can¡¯t leave. If I leave, Ah Leng will be left alone. She has been lonely for many years.¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment. Dong Xi said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look. I might be able to open the seal in the well.¡± With that, Dong Xi walked towards the vige entrance. Liu Qing looked at Dong Xi¡¯s back, her anger dissipating as she followed behind Dong Xi. Dong Xi came to the mouth of the well. The well was pressed with arge bluestone, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye. Dong Xi shot out a beam of spiritual Qi and saw that white talismans had appeared on the bluestone at the mouth of the well. At this moment, Liu Qing came over, looked at the bluestone, and said, ¡°This is the reason why Ah Leng is trapped! Dong Xi had not learned any formation techniques, so it was impossible to remove it. There was only one way to break the formation. Dong Xi took out the Purple Jade Sword and looked at Liu Qing. Dong Xi said, ¡°Little Qing, hide further away.¡± Dong Xi said as she raised the sword in her hand. ¡°Ah Leng, hide well!¡± Liu Qing immediately shouted at the well. Just as Dong Xi was about to sh down with his sword, the dim runes on the well flickered, and a graceful figure appeared in front of Dong Xi. ¡°Little Qing, what are you guys doing?¡± the woman asked immediately. The woman who had suddenly appeared looked to be in her twenties. Her hair was pinned up by a willow tree, leaving a lock of hair on one side to her chest. She also spoke very gently. Liu Qing ran over happily and held the woman¡¯s hand. He said happily, ¡°Ah Leng, Xiaoxi said she wanted to save you.¡± Ah Leng looked at the young girl holding the sword and realized that she could not see through Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation at all. However, Dong Xi only looked like she was 11 years old. Ah Leng sighed. ¡°This formation was set up by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. She could not break it by force.¡± Nascent Soul stage? Dong Xi frowned. If it was really set by a Nascent Soul expert, Dong Xi would not be able to break this formation. Seeing Dong Xi frowning, Ah Leng smiled and said with a calm expression, ¡°Thank you for being willing to help me. I¡¯ll be fine.¡± After saying that, Ah Leng looked at Liu Qing and frowned. Ah Leng said worriedly, ¡°I¡¯m just worried about Little Qing. These people want to cut down the willow tree. You should have a way to help her, right?¡± Dong Xi raised her hand and drew Ground Prison for the willow tree. Dong Xi said, ¡°My cultivation level is not high enough, so the sect only sent me here to investigate. When I return, I¡¯ll ask my Senior Brother toe and help you.¡± Ah Leng bowed to Dong Xi and said, ¡°Thank you, Fairy.¡± Dong Xi thought of the formation at the mouth of the well and felt that it was better to be clear so as to avoid doing bad things with good intentions. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Ah Leng, do you remember who sealed you here back then?¡± Chapter 177 - 177 Will This Work? 177 Will This Work? Ah Leng shook her head and said, ¡°I can¡¯t remember. It should have been a thousand years ago. That year, there was a great drought here. I happened to pass by and made it rain for the people here. These people begged me to stay, saying that they were willing to offer incense and worship me. I was originally a water spirit, and my cultivation depended on the power of wishes of my believers. When I heard them say this, I agreed to stay.¡± At this point, Ah Leng sighed and continued, ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect that they would invite the Immortal master to seal me in this well.¡± Ah Leng had been here for a thousand years and the well had already dried up. It was because of Ah Leng that there was always water to use. However, these living people did not even know that there was a water spirit sealed, let alone offer incense and worship. ¡°Leave this to me,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi took out an incense burner and ced it on the stone beside the well. Then, she turned around and went to the door of the two old people. When the olddy saw Dong Xi return, she immediately asked, ¡°Fairy, did you find something?¡± ¡°From tomorrow on, everyone here will go to the well and offer an incense stick. You must be pious. Do you understand?¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Is this useful?¡± the olddy immediately asked. Dong Xi¡¯s expression was serious as she said, ¡°If you want to go out, do as I say. This is what you¡¯ve been owing her!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The olddy said. ¡°We¡¯ll definitely do as you say!¡± As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they looked up and saw that the female Immortal who was originally at the door had disappeared. ¡°Hurry!¡± The olddy immediately said. ¡°Old man, go and find the incense in our house!¡± ¡°It¡¯s almost dawn, I¡¯ll go and tell the others.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at the low-level invisibility talisman on his body, then immediately fled. Before Dong Xi left the sect, she had epted two missions. One was to investigate the strangeness of this ce, and the other was to send a letter to someone. After delivering the letter, Dong Xi did not continue running or refining her body. She stepped on the little turtle and quickly flew back to the sect. Dong Xi immediately went to the Mission Hall to submit the mission, and then asked them for a way to break the formation. However, Senior Sister Wang Ying from the Mission Hall said that as long as those people¡¯s lives were not in danger, they could not interfere. Dong Xi wanted to argue with him, but he said, ¡°How can this be? The little willow spirit was about to be killed by these people, and the water spirit, both of them were innocent! Even though they¡¯re not humans, this is too unfair!¡± Wang Ying looked at the excited Dong Xi and said with a smile, ¡°Junior Sister, there¡¯s no such thing as fairness in the world of cultivators. Even in our Ningtian Sect, a few disciples die every day. We¡¯re cultivators, notw enforcers. The heavenly Dao will be watching over all the twists and turns!¡± Dong Xi frowned, cupped his fists, and left. Others might not care, but Dong Xi had promised to save Liu Qing and Ah Leng, so she had to save them. It was impossible for her to give up and not care. The seal was set by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and her two Senior Brothers were only at the Golden Core stage. Now, Dong Xi could only find her two masters. Dong Xi went to look for Lingxu first, but found that he was not there. He heard that Lingxu had gone to y chess with the elders of the other sects. Dong Xi went to the Sword Sect, but Master Yijian had also epted a mission and left. To be more precise, only two disciples of the Sword Sect stayed to guard the door. The rest of the people were either in seclusion or out on missions. ¡°Everyone¡¯s doing missions?¡± Dong Xi asked, stunned. The two disciples on guard were also eager to talk to Dong Xi, so they immediately exined, ¡°When everyone heard that Junior Sister was so hardworking at such a young age, they all turned over a new leaf and worked hard in their cultivation.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s head ached. Did these people have to work so hard that she could not even find a single helper? Could it be that she was really going to break her promise to Liu Qing and Ah Leng? Dong Xi sat on the sword-testing stone. The double gravity helped her calm down quickly and think. What should she do now? How could he help Liu Qing and Ah Leng? If only Dong Xi could also issue missions! No, she could indeed issue missions! I almost forgot. Dong Xi immediately took out hermunication Jade slip and chose to make a public announcement. [Who has the time to help break the formation set up by a Nascent Soul cultivator? The reward is two high-grade earth-elemental crystals and two bottles of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills!] Dong Xi knew that no one would ept his mission. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, with the exception of sword cultivators, did notck spirit stones at all. Now she could only hope that there would be a sword cultivator willing to help. Not long after the message was sent, someone replied. [What kind of formation? Can you exin in detail? Let¡¯s see if it can be broken.] Chapter 178 - 178 I Can’t Break the Formation, but I Can Save People 178 I Can¡¯t Break the Formation, but I Can Save People When Dong Xi saw that someone had replied so quickly, she immediately perked up and quickly replied. [It¡¯s a sealing array!] The other party immediately replied. [Someone¡¯s sealed inside?] Dong Xi replied. !! [That¡¯s right!] At this moment, she received a message. [Are you going to break the formation, or are you just going to save the people?] Dong Xi sent a message in confusion. [What¡¯s the difference?] Wasn¡¯t saving people the same as breaking the formation? At this moment, Dong Xi saw that there was a new message on the jade slip. She hurriedly looked at the jade slip. That person had sent a message. [I can¡¯t break the formation, but I can save people sealed in there.] ording to the information about this person, Dong Xi could easily analyze that this person had not reached the Nascent Soul stage, but he was able to save the people sealed by the array formation. He must have something up his sleeve. Dong Xi also decided to give it a try and immediately sent a message. [Let¡¯s try it, then? There¡¯s a vige next to Fotai City. I¡¯ll wait for you under the willow tree at the vige entrance!] The other party immediately replied. [It just so happens that I¡¯m nearby as well. I still have a mission here. See you in three days.] Dong Xi immediately replied. [May I know how to address you, Immortal master?] The other party replied with two words. [Kong Xing.] Dong Xi immediately got up and went to the Mission Hall to rent a spirit tool that could be used to transnt nts. Wang Ying saw that Dong Xi was not willing to give up, so she reminded her to be careful of her own safety when helping others. Dong Xi thanked her, put away the magical artifact, and flew back to the vige where Liu Qing was. Because she had already agreed on a time with Kong Xing, Dong Xi wasn¡¯t in a hurry this time. Three dayster, Dong Xi arrived at the vige entrance. The sky had already turned dark. Liu Qing saw Dong Xi and immediately appeared. Liu Qing shouted, ¡°Xiaoxi! You¡¯re back so soon!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll find someone to help.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let him see if there¡¯s any way.¡± ¡°Xiaoxi, you¡¯re amazing,¡± Liu Qing said happily. ¡°So many people havee to offer incense to Ah Leng these past two days.¡± ¡°These people owe it to Ah Leng,¡± Dong Xi said. After that, Dong Xi sat down and said, ¡°The weather is great today. Wake me up when someonees over!¡± Liu Qing nodded. Today was the full moon, and every full moon, Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation would be faster. Dong Xi did not know how long she had been cultivating. She sensed the fluctuation of spirit Qi around her and slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she looked up, she saw Ah Leng and Liu Qing sitting by the entrance. When Liu Qing saw that Dong Xi had woken up, she said in surprise, ¡°Xiaoxi, Ah Leng didn¡¯t want me to wake you up. She said that you¡¯ll go berserk.¡± Dong Xi looked at Ah Leng. Ah Leng had a smile on her face as she nodded. ¡°Someone¡¯sing,¡± Liu Qing shouted. Dong Xi raised his head to look at the vige entrance and saw a person walking over from afar. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. He saw a shining head under the moonlight. This guy was actually a young monk? The little monk walked to the barrier at the vige entrance and stopped for a moment before walking in. ¡°You¡¯re Kong Xing?¡± Dong Xi immediately stood up and asked. ¡°Amitabha, I¡¯m Kong Xing,¡± the little monk said with his palms pressed together. After he finished, he looked at Dong Xi and asked, ¡°You are Dong Xi?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°Young Master, do you really have a way to save the people?¡± One could not me Dong Xi for being suspicious, Kong Xing was simply too young. Kong Xing did not answer, but asked directly, ¡°Where¡¯s the formation?¡± Dong Xi raised her hand and pointed at the well. Kong Xing looked over, and as expected, he saw two demons sitting at the well. ¡°You want to save her?¡± Kong Xing asked immediately. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Dong Xi nodded. Kong Xing immediately said in confusion, ¡°But¡­ This is a demon¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being a demon?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. ¡°She did not hurt anyone, and she was trapped here for a thousand years. She also raised the people here for a thousand years. What did she do wrong?¡± Kong Xing felt that what Dong Xi said was right. Dong Xi continued, ¡°I didn¡¯t want these people to run out of water, so I came over to help them. But now, I¡¯ve been trapped in the well by these people. Little Master is a member of the Buddhist sect. Does the Buddha have to differentiate the races when he edifies them?¡± Kong Xing was tongue-tied for a moment, ¡°Then¡­¡± Dong Xi did not continue to say anything, only looking at Kong Xing. In the summer, the willow branches swayed in the breeze. The two humans and two demons under the tree looked at each other. Liu Qing looked at Ah Leng and wanted to say something, but Ah Leng shook her head. Liu Qing pursed her lips and lowered her head. After a long time, a fallen leaf fell andnded on Kong Xing¡¯s shoulder. Kong Xing, who had closed his eyes in deep thought, seemed to be disturbed by this leaf and opened his eyes. Dong Xi looked at Kong Xing with a smile on his face. Dong Xi asked,¡±How is it? Little Master, have you thought it through?¡± Chapter 179 - 179 You’re Right 179 You¡¯re Right ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± Kong Xing nodded. When Dong Xi heard this, her smile became even wider. Kong Xing then asked, ¡°Did you bring the thing?¡± This sentence brought Dong Xi back to reality. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she looked up at the clear eyes of the stars in the sky. Dong Xi sighed in her heart. Buddha was merciful, and he still had to give. ¡°I¡¯ve brought them all. I¡¯ll definitely give you what I promised Young Master,¡± said Dong Xi immediately. !! After saying that, Dong Xi thought for a moment and said, ¡°But how did Young Master save ah Leng without breaking the formation?¡± Kong Xing walked to the well and looked, seeing the reflection of the moon in the well. Kong Xing picked up the wooden bucket at the side and threw it down to get a bucket of water. He said, ¡°Fairy, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already agreed to it. I¡¯ll naturally find a way to save her.¡± Dong Xi squatted by the well, watching Kong Xing¡¯s movements seriously. Liu Qing squatted beside Dong Xi, confused. The way the two of them held their cheeks was exactly the same. She saw Kong Xing pour the water in the bucket in eight different directions, then cut his finger and draw runes that Dong Xi had never seen before. After Kong Xing retracted his hand, the ypot on the wooden bucket glowed with a ray of light. Ah Leng seemed to have sensed something, and his expression became serious. Kong Xing picked up the wooden barrel, and the moonlight shone on his head, making it seem as if he was giving off a faint light, making him look particrly sacred. Kong Xing looked at Ah Leng and said, ¡°Amitabha. When I throw it into the wooden bucket, this formation will stop for a moment. You muste out at this time, or else this method will be useless.¡± Ah Leng nodded to show that she understood and bowed to Kong Xing. Ah Leng said, ¡°Thank you, Young Master!¡± Kong Xing nodded and walked to the well. He said to ah Leng, ¡°Get ready, I¡¯m going to throw it in.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Ah Leng said solemnly. Dong Xi was also nervous at the side. Sess or failure would be decided at this moment. If Ah Leng did note out, Dong Xi would have to find a master of the Nascent Soul stage to break the formation. Kong Xing, on the other hand, was not too nervous, and directly threw the wooden bucket in. The moment the wooden bucket fell into the water, it hit the reflection of the bright moon, causing a circle of water to ssh. At this moment, the runes on the bluestone beside the well reappeared. Dong Xi was so nervous that she did not even dare to breathe. She stared at the well with wide eyes. When the runes covered the stone bit by bit, the well began to shine brightly. At this moment, Ah Leng also appeared instantly. There were light chains around her arms and legs. These light chains also loosened instantly. Ah Leng took this opportunity to walk out of the barrier. When Dong Xi saw the light on Ah Leng¡¯s body disappear bit by bit, her eyes also lit up. When the well waspletely restored, Ah Leng looked at the light chains that had disappeared from her hands and feet. Liu Qing, who had been waiting at the side, jumped up happily. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Liu Qing happily said. ¡°Ah Leng, you can finally leave this ce!¡± A smile also appeared on Ah Leng¡¯s face. She had been trapped here for a thousand years, and now she had finally regained her freedom. However, when she thought of the fact that Liu Qing¡¯s actual body was still here, the joy on Ah Leng¡¯s face disappeared instantly. Ah Leng said, ¡°What will you do if I leave?¡± ¡°It¡¯s simple,¡± Dong Xi immediately replied. ¡°Before I came here, I rented a magic tool from the sect. It can move Liu Qing¡¯s body.¡± Liu Qing was overjoyed. She did not expect to leave this ce one day. She asked in disbelief, ¡°Really?¡± Dong Xi nodded and took out a scroll from his storage bag. Opening the scroll, Dong Xi injected spiritual Qi into it. The spiritual Qi wrapped around the scroll, and it slowly floated in the air. Dong Xi cast a spell on the willow tree, and the scroll burst with light, reflecting off the willow tree. The next second, the willow tree disappeared. Dong Xi looked at the scroll and saw a painting on it. There was a big willow tree in the painting, and a cute little girl was sitting on the willow tree. She looked very pretty. At this moment, the girl in the painting said, ¡°I can actually take it away! A small stream! You¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°Thank you, fairy, for saving us,¡± Ah Leng said with a bow. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Dong Xi raised her hand and said. Just as Dong Xi finished speaking, Kong Xing walked over and said, ¡°Amitabha. Fairy is a righteous person. I have already done what I promised. Fairy, you have promised me a reward.¡± Dong Xi naturally did not go back on her word and took out spirit stones and Spirit Restore PIlls from her storage ring. Dong Xi¡¯s heart ached a little, but she still gritted her teeth and handed the item over to Kong Xing. ¡°Thank you foring over to help, Young Master,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared the reward. Please ept it, Young Master.¡± Kong Xing received Dong Xi and said with some excitement, thank you, Little Fairy! Chapter 180 - 180 Pill and Sword Cultivation 180 Pill and Sword Cultivation Dong Xi guessed that Kong Xing was probably studying formations, which was why he was so obsessed with earth element spirit stones. ¡°No need to be so polite, Young Master. We should be the ones thanking you,¡± said Dong Xi. The two of them were polite for a long time. Dong Xi could not help but ask, ¡°Little Master, are you a Buddhist cultivator?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this little monk is a disciple of Great Thunder Temple¡¯s Master Tonghui.¡± Kong Xing nodded and said, ¡°May I know which sect Fairy is from? Who is your master?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the disciple of Ningtian Sect¡¯s Daoist Master Lingxu and Daoist Yijian,¡± Dong Xi said courteously. !! When Kong Xing heard this, he was a little stunned. After thinking for a long time, he scratched his head and looked at Dong Xi, asking, ¡°If I remember correctly, your sect¡¯s Daoist Lingxu is an eighth-tier alchemist, and Daoist Yijian is a sword cultivator, right? Could it be that Junior Sister is cultivating both sword and alchemy?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Dong Xi said. Dong Xi made preparations to listen to the little monk¡¯s lecture on how to focus on one subject and not learn too many other subjects. However, Kong Xing was a little excited as he said, ¡°Junior Sister, when I cultivate Buddhism, I also cultivate formations. It¡¯s rare to meet someone who cultivates two sects at the same time. Junior Sister, leave a spiritual breath for us to share our experiences in the future.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she said happily, ¡°Good! Good! Was it Senior Brother¡¯s main ount that sent me the message that day?¡± The honest Kong Xing was a little confused. ¡°What¡¯s a main ount? I only have one spiritual breath!¡± Dong Xi realized that she had said the wrong thing and said with a smile, ¡°Ahem, ahem, let¡¯s add each other as friends! I¡¯m talking about spiritual breath.¡± When Kong Xing heard this, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said, ¡°That¡¯s right, calling you a good friend is also right. In the future, Junior Sister and I will be good friends!¡± When Dong Xi heard Kong Xing say this, she quickly took the opportunity to probe, ¡°Senior Brother, what was that move you just used? How can it be so powerful that it can even break a Nascent Soul stage formation?¡± After being praised like that, Kong Xing¡¯s face turned a little embarrassed. He lowered his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°This move is called ¡®Stealthily Swapping Pirs¡¯. It¡¯s not very powerful, I only learned it by chance.¡± Stealthily Swapping Pirs? If she learned this, wouldn¡¯t there be no array to trap her in the future? Just as Dong Xi was in deep thought, Kong Xing suddenly took out a few photostones and ced them in Dong Xi¡¯s hands. Kong Xing said, ¡°Junior Sister, if you encounter any different formations in the future, record it down for Senior Brother to see.¡± Dong Xi also epted it without any reservations. Dong Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother. I¡¯ll definitely get it done for you.¡± ¡°If Senior Brother finds any pill forms on the road of experience in the future, I¡¯ll also help you keep them!¡± Kong Xing immediately added. The two of them came to an agreement. Kong Xing was still busy with other missions, so he bade farewell and left. Dong Xi saw that it was almost dawn, so she made an agreement with Liu Qing that she would let Liu Qing out when she returned to the cave abode. Only then did she put away the painting scroll. Ah Leng thought that Dong Xi was about to leave, but he saw Dong Xi walk to pick up the old wooden bucket, and then take out a good bucket from the storage bag. After finishing everything, Dong Xi walked towards Ah Leng. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Ah Leng,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at the thin and weak Ah Leng, and her tone became much gentler. Ah Leng nodded. She looked at the vige with aplicated expression. Ah Leng had been in this vige for a thousand years, watching the change of humans and the change of times. There were too many memories here, which made Ah Leng feel bitter sweet. ¡°Are you reluctant to part with this ce?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ah Leng said with a sigh. Ah Leng left along the winding vige, and Dong Xi immediately followed. As the two of them left, the sky above the vige was filled with dark clouds, and the drops of light rain seemed to be throwing stones to find the way. The people in the vige looked at the rain getting heavier and heavier. They suddenly felt strange and began to discuss. ¡°Why is it suddenly raining so heavily? It hasn¡¯t rained like this in a long time!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It has never rained like this since I could remember.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll go to the well to pray tomorrow. The fairy said it¡¯s useful, so we¡¯ll go there diligently. We can¡¯t stop the incense!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi felt the rich water spiritual energy beside her and looked at the calm Ah Leng. Dong Xi sighed a few times in her heart. This should be thest gift Ah Leng gave to the vigers. A little light had already appeared on the horizon, and Ah Leng suddenly panicked. Suddenly, an oil-paper umbre opened on top of Ah Leng¡¯s head. Seeing the little girl in front of him struggling to hold up the umbre, Ah Leng¡¯s eyes were full of smiles. Ah Leng took the umbre and said, ¡°Give it to me.¡± Dong Xi released her hand, then took out the little leaf from her storage ring and sat on it. She said to Ah Leng, ¡°You¡¯re going back with me? Or are you going to travel?¡± Chapter 181 - 181 See You Again 181 See You Again Ah Leng thought for a moment and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ve been trapped there for a thousand years, and the world has changed a lot. I want to walk around, so I won¡¯t go back with you. Please tell Xiao Qing that I¡¯ll take a look outside. After a while, I¡¯ll go back and find you.¡± Dong Xi did not try to persuade her and just cupped her fists,¡±Alright, we¡¯ll meet again!¡± Dong Xi sat on the little leaf and quickly flew back to the sect. For some reason, Dong Xi¡¯s right eyelid kept twitching, as if something bad had happened. There was something wrong with the Eight-nine Cultivation Technique. Dong Xi avoided the path she usually took. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems, right? !! However, reality had taught Dong Xi that misfortune and fortune always came together, and she could not avoid it. This was the first time in Dong Xi¡¯s year in the cultivation world that she had encountered a case of murder and robbery. A middle-aged man was taunting and attracting attention, and his spirit pet suddenly attacked another man from behind. The man was hit, and the middle-aged man immediately went forward and attacked, piercing his heart. Dong Xi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. She recalled the feeling of being pierced by Dong Rourou. It was really too painful! The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Dong Xi. The sense of danger in Dong Xi¡¯s heart grew even stronger. Without hesitation, Dong Xi put away the leaf and reced it with the little turtle. Then, she quickly injected spiritual Qi and ate a top-grade Wind Speed Pill. She chose a direction and quickly flew out. The middle-aged man was at the Foundation Establishment stage, so Dong Xi did not dare to stay and fight with him. As Dong Xi ran, she dodged the attacksing from behind her and also had to be careful of the middle-aged man¡¯s spirit pet. At this time, Dong Xi was very d that she had cultivated ¡®multitasking¡¯. Otherwise, she would have really died here. This middle-aged man should be from the Beast Trainer Sect. As for the person who was killed, Dong Xi had also seen him clearly. From the clothes he wore, he should be from the Masked Moon Sect! Dong Xi had seen it very clearly, and the middle-aged man had also seen Dong Xi. He wanted to murder her to silence her. The middle-aged man would definitely not let Dong Xi off. When Dong Xi sensed that her spiritual Qi was quickly disappearing, she could only bitterly swallow another top-grade Spirit Restore Pill. The middle-aged man was also surprised. The girl in front of him was just a little girl. Normally, she should have used up her spiritual energy long ago. How could she run so fast? Could it be that he was a direct disciple of some sect elder? Wasn¡¯t this too unlucky? However, what the middle-aged man did not know was that in this world, there were things that were even more unfortunate than meeting the sect elder¡¯s direct disciple. The middle-aged man was chasing seriously when a gust of wind suddenly blew over. The middle-aged man did not see where the attacker was, only a ck shadow shed by. The next second, the middle-aged man exploded in the air. Dong Xi turned around and saw the bloody scene. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Then, she immediately squatted on the little turtle and could not help but vomit. ¡°Look at you,¡± a familiar voice said. Dong Xi raised his head and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person appear above his head. His face was still as handsome as ever, but his signature tail was gone, reced by a pair of long, slender legs. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Dong Xi asked with a puzzled look. ¡°I don¡¯t want to use the Soul-Seeking Lamp to search for your three souls and seven spirits all over the Immortal world,¡± Su Cheng said with a contemptuous smile. When Dong Xi heard this, she asked in confusion, ¡°You mean, if I die, you¡¯ll help me find my three spiritual and seven physical souls?¡± If that was the case, Dong Xi would no longer fear death. For some reason, su Cheng immediately saw through the little girl¡¯s thoughts. He said indifferently, ¡°Forget it, you¡¯re just a Qi Refinement stage cultivator, he¡¯s not of much use.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was instantly unhappy. She said, ¡°What crime did a Qi Refinement stage cultivatormit? Which person didn¡¯t cultivate from the Qi Refinement stage? I¡¯m not an ordinary Qi Refinement cultivator, I¡¯m a future super alchemist!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s positioning was very urate. When Su Cheng heard this, he smiled and said, ¡°Tell me when you¡¯ve lived to that day. But with your abilities, you can forget about it.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s speechless face, Su Cheng continued, ¡°Your cultivation is very low now. If you don¡¯t have anything to do, don¡¯t wander around outside. Stay in the sect and cultivate. Come out when your cultivation is high enough!¡± ¡°But, the Senior Brothers all said that I cane out and ept missions when I¡¯m at the third level of Qi Refinement,¡± Dong Xi said while biting her lip. ¡°That¡¯s because there¡¯s something you don¡¯t know about!¡± Su Cheng snorted. ¡°Huh?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked curiously. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Chapter 182 - 182 The Higher Your Cultivation, the More You Can Do Whatever You Want 182 The Higher Your Cultivation, the More You Can Do Whatever You Want Su Cheng squinted his eyes and said with a serious face, ¡°Things are different now.¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment and nodded. Then, she suddenly remembered something and immediately took out a porcin bottle from her pocket and threw it to Su Cheng. She said, ¡°Lady Rong asked me to give you this. She said it can help you.¡± Su Cheng threw it to Dong Xi and said, ¡°Take it and give it to me when we return to the sect.¡± Dong Xi was just about to ask why he did not take it himself when he saw Su Cheng¡¯s figure dissipate with the wind. Dong Xi was stunned at first, then suddenly discovered that this was not his main body, but only a wisp of divine sense. That Foundation Establishment man could not even deal with this wisp of divine sense. Just because his cultivation was high, he could do whatever he wanted! Dong Xi looked at the middle-aged man who had turned into a bloody mist behind her. She felt that leaving just like that would be letting this person off too easily. Changing the turtle under her feet to the little leaf, Dong Xi thought for a long time before finally choosing to take out a jade slip and anonymously post a message in the square. [600 kilometers North of Fotai City, Beast Trainer Sect disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage killed a Masked Moon Sect Qi Refinement stage disciple!] After sending an anonymous message, Dong Xi immediately left. If something were to happen now, no one would save Dong Xi again. Moreover, that stinky snake had already said that she was only at the Qi Refinement stage, so there was no need for her to gather her three souls and seven spirits. However, Dong Xi did not know that while he was running, the square in the jade slip was in an uproar because of the message Dong Xi had sent. This was because Beast Trainer Sect and Masked Moon Sect were both Righteous sects. How could these Righteous sects kill each other? Could it be that when he went out again in the future, he could not even trust these famous and Righteous sects? Coincidentally, the grandson of the Masked Moon Sect¡¯s elder Zha Chen had gone out to train and his soulmp had been extinguished. Zha Chen had med this matter on the Beast Trainer Sect. Beast Trainer Sect wanted to know what happened, so they sent people to follow Zha Chen to a ce 600 kilometers North of Fotai city. People asked about this every day, but there was no response at all. It was not until six dayster that Beast Trainer Sect appeared and rified that demons had invaded. At that time, the disciple should have been possessed by the demons. At this moment, Dong Xi had already arrived in front of the sect. After a few days of continuous travel, Dong Xi¡¯s skin had turned two degrees darker. Dong Xi came down from the leaf and was about to enter the sect when she was stopped. The person who stopped Dong Xi said, ¡°Only disciples of our sect are allowed to enter. If there is an important matter, you can enter after registration.¡± Dong Xi was taken aback. She raised his head and looked at the person in front of her. It was actually someone she knew. ¡°Chen Farong!¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°Take a good look, it¡¯s me!¡± As he spoke, Dong Xi took out her waist token and waved it in front of Chen Farong to prove her identity. After Chen Farong got closer, he saw the name on the waist token. Chen Farong immediately said in disbelief, ¡°Junior Sister? How did you end up like this?¡± Dong Xi smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°These two days have been too coy. It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll go back and cultivate in seclusion for a few days. My skin will turn white again.¡± ¡°See youter!¡± After saying that, Dong Xi walked towards the cave dwelling. Chen Farong looked at Dong Xi¡¯s back as he walked further and further away. He wanted to say something, but he didn¡¯t. Perhaps Junior Sister did not know that it was impossible for her to go into seclusion. The entire Alchemy Sect¡¯s disciples were waiting for Dong Xi to return and share her alchemy experience! When Dong Xi returned to the cave, she found that Songsong was already awake. After it woke up, it stayed in the courtyard of the cave abode very obediently, not daring to go anywhere else. When Songsong saw Dong Xi¡¯s appearance, it immediately ran into Dong Xi¡¯s arms and said, ¡°Xiaoxi, you¡¯ve finally returned! Songsong thought you didn¡¯t want me anymore! Sob sob, that snake is too scary. I waited for you toe back and help take revenge for me!¡± Dong Xi was originally very happy to see that Songsong had woken up, but when she heard Songsong say this, her expression instantly becameplicated. ¡°Rx!¡± Dong Xi immediately said. ¡°What revenge? It¡¯s basically the two of us getting beaten up together. Don¡¯t talk like that in the future, or we¡¯ll get beaten up!¡± Songsong was stunned for a moment, then she climbed out of Dong Xi¡¯s arms and onto his shoulder. ¡°Xiaoxi, even you can¡¯t beat him?¡± asked Songsong in disbelief. ¡°Yes!¡± Dong Xi nodded. Songsong¡¯s ears drooped down and it said, ¡± ¡°So, you can only sleep in the yard with Songsong tonight?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Dong Xi bitterly replied. As she spoke, Dong Xi took out the scroll and let Liu Qing out. He ced him not far from the pond. Songsong saw a willow tree. It was confused and asked, ¡°Xiaoxi¡­ This¡­ This tree is growing so fast?¡± As soon as songsong finished speaking, Liu Qing came down from the tree. After looking around, Liu Qing said happily, ¡°Xiaoxi! He was really not at the vige entrance! What is this ce?¡± Chapter 183 - 183 This Is a Treasure Ground 183 This Is a Treasure Ground Liu Qing squinted her eyes and took a deep breath. She had a satisfied look and said, ¡°The spiritual energy here is so dense. This is a treasurend!¡± If Liu Qing had been here since she was born, she would not have taken so long to gain wisdom. Songsong saw that Liu Qing and Dong Xi were very close. Songsong immediately asked, ¡°Xiaoxi! Who is this?¡± Songsong¡¯s question suddenly appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Dong Xi did not expect Songsong would be jealous. She smiled and said, ¡°This is my friend, Liu Qing!¡± After saying that, she pulled Songsong down from her shoulder and held it in her arms. Dong Xi said, ¡°This is Songsong, my contracted demonic beast. We can y together in the future!¡± !! Songsong and Liu Qing looked at each other and heard Songsong squeak twice. Dong Xi was just about to exin when Liu Qing said with a smile,¡±No problem! As long as I¡¯m here, you can live on this tree!¡± Hearing Liu Qing¡¯s words, Songsong squeaked a few more times. Songsong ran from Liu Qing¡¯s hand to the tree and jumped between the branches, extremely excited. Dong Xi jumped up lightly and grabbed Songsong. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you¡¯ll be fine just because you¡¯ve woken up!¡± Dong Xi angrily rebuked with a serious expression. ¡°I didn¡¯t even ask you! Didn¡¯t I tell you before not to crawl around? Not only did you run around, but you also ate someone else¡¯s food?¡± Songsong lowered its head and sneaked a nce at Dong Xi¡¯s expression, just in time to see her stern gaze. Songsong immediately wrapped itself up with its tail. It whispered, ¡°S-Songsong didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Songsong was very hungry at that time¡­¡± Only then did Dong Xi remember that thest time she had gone into seclusion to refine pills, it had indeed been a long time, and Songsong had no one to feed it. Dong Xi sighed softly. This could be considered as a reminder to Dong Xi. In the future, she had to prepare food for it. She could not wait for it to eat another family¡¯s spirit herb and regret it. Dong Xi took out some spirit nts that Songsong liked from his storage ring. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave these for you to eat. If it¡¯s not enough, tell me quickly. You can¡¯t eat other people¡¯s food. Second Senior Brother didn¡¯t me you before, but if you eat someone else¡¯s food, you might just disappear from this world!¡± Songsong thought about how the man had dealt with it with a single finger. How terrifying would it be if someone were to take aggressive action? The more Songsong thought about it, the more scared it became. It almost scared itself to death. All of Songsong¡¯s fur stood on end. It kept chopping peppers in Dong Xi¡¯s hand and then jumped onto Dong Xi¡¯s head uneasily. It wrapped itself with its tail and trembled. Dong Xi took down Songsong and gave it to Liu Qing. Dong Xi said, ¡°You guys have fun, I have something to do.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi went into the cave abode. After all, there was still an ancestor waiting inside! Moreover, no matter what, the great snake had saved Dong Xi¡¯s life two days ago. This time, when she entered the cave dwelling, she found that it was very clean inside. The ck floor was also very clean, and Dong Xi was not quite used to it. Dong Xi looked at the bed at the side. Therge snake was still the same as before, its his coiled. Dong Xi coughed a few times and probed, ¡°Umm.. You aren¡¯t asleep, are you?¡± Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a dark face approaching. Su Cheng¡¯s pupils contracted, and the lines in his eyes became moreplicated. ¡°How did it be so dark?¡± Su Cheng asked. Dong Xi would never have thought that the snake¡¯s first words would be this after she had returned with great difficulty. Dong Xi was now like a husband who worked hard to earn money outside, but was despised when he came home! Dong Xi looked at the snake with resentment and frowned. Dong Xi said, ¡°Darker than you? You¡¯re a ck snake, why do you look down on others being ck? Isn¡¯t that a little bad?¡± Su Cheng, ¡°¡­¡± This was considered disdain? He was just asking casually. Besides, so what if Su Cheng did not like it? Can¡¯t he despise a human baby? ¡°Is everything done?¡± Su Cheng asked. Dong Xi looked straight at Su Cheng and said,¡±You¡¯re changing the subject too stiffly.¡± ¡°I wanted to give you a reward, but it seems like you don¡¯t want it anymore!¡± Su Cheng snorted. When Dong Xi heard the word ¡®reward¡¯, she immediately smiled in a ttering manner. Dong Xi said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s all done! When I¡¯m working for you, I¡¯m naturally very serious! I¡¯ve also taken a look at your lover. She¡¯s very confident and very beautiful¡­¡± Dong Xi praised and even gave Su Cheng a thumbs up. Dong Xi said, ¡°You¡¯re quite lucky with women!¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s behavior and instantly thought of Qian Ling. Everyone said Qian Ling was good at talking, but when it came to human cubs, Qing Lian was not even one in ten thousand of this little girl! Chapter 184 - 184 Thank You for the Compliment 184 Thank You for the Compliment Su Cheng thought about it and said seriously, ¡°Flowery words!¡± Not only did Dong Xi not feel any shame, but she also cupped her fists and said, ¡°Thank you for thepliment!¡± Su Cheng threw an item over, and Dong Xi immediately caught it. It was just a stone! ¡°What is it?¡± asked Dong Xi. Dong Xi had never seen such a thing before. She had only been in the world of cultivators for slightly more than a year. Even if she had absorbed a lot of knowledge like a stuffed duck, there would still be many blind spots. Su Cheng casually looked at the confused Dong Xi and said, ¡°This is called Cold Chalcedony, and it can repair the sword in your hand!¡± Repair? Dong Xi instantly caught the main point. The great snake had said that it would be repaired. Did not that mean that the sword stone in his hand was really broken? But from Dong Xi¡¯s usage of it during this period of time, there was nothing wrong at all! Just a light touch and it would split into two, should not that be considered a bug? Perhaps it was not, it should be said that it was a work of art! This sword was also something that the great snake had asked her to buy back then. Presumably, the snake should know more about it! With the intention of getting to the bottom of this, Dong Xi cupped her fists and asked again, ¡°Snake, is my sword really broken?¡± Su Cheng nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. The sword could store spiritual Qi, but it can¡¯t now. If it stores enough spiritual Qi, the power of the sword moves will be greater.¡± Dong Xi nodded. If that was the case, it was possible to repair it. But before Dong Xi could be happy, Su Cheng continued, ¡°This sword has been severely damaged before, causing it to split easily now. After repairing it, this situation will not ur again.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°!!!¡± What? It will not split after restoration? How could this be? Dong Xi immediately interrupted Su Cheng¡¯s words. Dong Xi asked, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no need to repair it, right?¡± Su Cheng was confused. Dong Xi returned the Cold Chalcedony to Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, ¡°Can you change this reward?¡± Su Cheng was confused. It was the first time in a thousand years that they had encountered such a strange human! Su Cheng frowned and asked in confusion, ¡°Are you really not going to repair your sword?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I won¡¯t repair it!¡± Dong Xi nodded. Su Cheng was very curious. He asked, ¡°Why?¡± Dong Xi raised her head and said with a serious face, ¡°If I want to improve, I can¡¯t rely too much on external objects. Although the sword has ws, I will be stronger because of it!¡± Su Cheng, ¡°¡­¡± This girl was so young, how could she have such great reasoning? Su Cheng chuckled and said, ¡°You will be stronger? Hahaha¡­ Then you¡¯ll live to a stronger time. Now that you¡¯re not strong enough, external things are the capital for you to live on!¡± Dong Xi remained silent. She knew that the great snake was right! But Dong Xi really did not want to repair the sword like this! Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s expression and gently knocked on the stone bed. He suddenly understood something. ¡°Tell me the truth, why don¡¯t you want to fix it?¡± Su Cheng asked indifferently. Dong Xi raised her head and happened to see Su Cheng¡¯s eyes. Dong Xi immediately turned her head with a guilty conscience. Dong Xi whispered, ¡°Who can resist a two-handed sword?¡± Su Cheng did not expect this to be the reason. Su Cheng frowned and asked, ¡°Two-handed sword?¡± Dong Xi nodded and immediately took out her sword. Dong Xi said, ¡°You watch carefully!¡± Su Cheng looked at the sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Dong Xi raised the sword and shed at Su Cheng¡¯s stone bed. But just as the sword was about to touch the stone bed, Dong Xi stopped. Su Cheng was stunned and saw Dong Xi walking out with the sword. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯d better go outside and cut other things, in case I break your bed and I don¡¯t have money to pay for it!¡± Dong Xi immediately walked to the courtyard. Su Cheng looked at the open stone door and also got up to go out. In the courtyard, there was a sword-testing stone that she had brought back from the Sword Sect. Dong Xi injected some spiritual power into it and looked at the sword-testing stone. Su Cheng just happened to walk out and saw the sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand break. But the broken sword did not just be useless, but instead became two? Dong Xi just picked it up and wanted to go back to show it to Su Cheng, but when he turned around, she found Su Cheng behind her. She raised the two swords in her hands and said, ¡°Look, a two-handed sword, right?¡± Su Cheng was also confused. What was going on? Dong Xi held the sword with both hands and kept showing off. Dong Xi said, ¡°Look, this can grow longer and also be shorter, isn¡¯t it very convenient? So, there was no need to repair it, right? I think it¡¯s better to use it like this, right?¡± Su Cheng looked at the two swords that became longer and shorter and suddenly thought of a long-forgotten name, the White Owl Purple Jade Sword! Chapter 185 - 185 Who Is This Person? 185 Who Is This Person? White Owl Purple Jade. Su Cheng was very curious before. Why would there be the word ¡®Purple Jade¡¯ when it was white? This must be the origin of the Purple Jade, right? However, the sword¡¯s previous owner had not discovered this way of using it. If it was broken, it was broken. The sword was very powerful, but it was very fragile. It could only be strengthened by adding in materials. It was indeed good in the early stages, but many materials were needed to strengthen the swordter on. It was not worth it, so the sword was slowly forgotten. From the looks of it now, it was possible that the White Owl Purple Jade Sword had never met the fated person in the past! Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi was having a good time, so he walked back to the cave. Dong Xi was still thinking about the reward for running the errand and immediately followed Su Cheng. Liu Qing was sitting on the willow tree, still holding onto Songsong. After seeing Dong Xi and Su Cheng enter the cave, Liu Qing asked curiously, ¡°Songsong, who is this?¡± Songsong, who was lying on Liu Qing¡¯sp, raised its head and looked at Liu Qing. It narrowed its eyes and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°That person is probably¡­ Xiaoxi¡¯s ancestor, right?¡± Liu Qing¡¯s expression showed that he understood. Liu Qing said, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. No wonder Xiaoxi cave dwelling was given to that person to live in. In the past, Ah Leng told me that humans are very particr about respecting the elderly.¡± ¡°That big snake is very fierce, stay away from it in the future!¡± said Songsong. ¡­ Su Cheng did not know that he had be the old man the two little things were talking about. He sat on the stone bench in the house and waved his hand. A tea set appeared on the table. Su Cheng poured a cup of tea and watched Dong Xi follow him in. Dong Xi was still holding two swords in her hands. She stopped two steps away from Su Cheng and asked tentatively, ¡°Can this really be used as a two-handed sword? I¡¯m used to it now. Can I not repair it? ¡± Su Cheng took a sip of tea and said, ¡°This is yours, do as you please.¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Dong Xi continued to ask, ¡°Then, can you change the reward for me?¡± Su Cheng thought for a moment and threw another talisman to Dong Xi. Dong Xi turned pale with fright, thinking that the snake was about to attack. She dodged immediately. The talisman slowly fell from the sky to the ground. Nothing happened. Su Cheng saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions and said contemptuously, ¡°If I wanted to kill you, would I need to waste a spirit talisman?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She suddenly remembered that the spirit talisman was a reward given by the great snake. Her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly bent down to pick it up. The runes on the spirit talisman were extremelyplicated. No matter how ignorant Dong Xi was, she could guess that this was a high-grade spirit talisman. Dong Xi carefully picked up the talisman and blew off the dust on it. She walked to Su Cheng¡¯s side with a smile and asked, ¡°Snake, what is this talisman?¡± Su Cheng rolled her eyes at Dong Xi. She said, ¡°teleportation a thousand miles at random. This can be used three times. After three times, it will lose its effect!¡± Instantly, Dong Xi felt that the talisman in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. How was this just talisman paper? This was Dong Xi¡¯s life! The giant snake had given her a turtle shell that could withstand three attacks, and now it had given her a spirit talisman that could help him escape three times. In that case, the great snake had already given her six lives! From the looks of it, the great snake was really afraid that Dong Xi would die? Dong Xi¡¯s mood immediately became very good. It seemed that her spiritual energy was indeed extraordinary. ¡°Thank you, snake!¡± Dong Xi patted his chest and said. If there¡¯s something like this in the future, I¡¯ll definitely help you!¡± After saying that, Dong Xi seemed to have thought of something and immediately took out the porcin bottle that Lady Rong had given him from her storage ring. ¡°Your lover misses you, so he asked me to bring this back for you. Please keep it well,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi directly said that he was in a rtionship. Su Cheng was toozy to exin, but now he could not help it! He frowned and lightly said, ¡°Lady Rong is my subordinate, not my lover! Why don¡¯t you learn to be a good girl at such a young age?¡± Were all human cubs this mature? One had to know that when the snake tribe was this old, they had not reached the mating season! Dong Xi could vaguely hear Su Cheng¡¯s displeasure and immediately shut her mouth. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave first!¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi was afraid that the great snake would attack her in a fit of anger and wanted to leave quickly. Su Cheng nced at the bottle and said, ¡°Get out!¡± Dong Xi immediately turned around and ran. After she went out, she did not forget to close the door of the cave for Su Cheng. Dong Xi¡¯s voice disappeared, and the Immortal¡¯s cave returned to its previous tranquility. Su Cheng liked the cool and humid environment. The windows of the cave were covered by a curtain, and the light shone on the curtain, reflecting dreamy spots on his face. Chapter 186 - 186 I Still Need to Remember a Nameless Soldier? 186 I Still Need to Remember a Nameless Soldier? Su Cheng opened the bottle, and a poisonous mist instantly came out. Su Cheng lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then closed the bottle. After a while, he would give the Insect Queen and the Lotus Seeds to the little girl and let her refine them into medicinal pills. At this time, the door of the cave was opened again. Su Cheng looked up and saw a small head sticking in. Dong Xi noticed Su Cheng looking at her and chuckled. She immediately entered the cave and closed the door. Dong Xi said, ¡°Snake, do you still remember that you killed a member of Beast Trainer Sect when you saved me?¡± Su Cheng squinted his eyes and yed with the porcin bottle in his hand. Standing in the light and shadow, it felt very fragile. ¡°He¡¯s just a nobody. Do I still need to remember him?¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. Dong Xi stood at the side and did not refute, appearing very well-behaved. Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you know it¡¯s a human. These two days, I¡¯ve been looking through the jade slips and saw a notice from Beast Trainer Sect. They said that the demonic race had invaded. That disciple was bewitched by the demonic race. Is it true? Could it be rted to Demon Lord Su Cheng?¡± Su Cheng froze for a moment. Dong Xi instantly felt like she had fallen into an ice cer. She shivered and looked up at Su Cheng. Su Cheng¡¯s face was hidden in the light, and Dong Xi couldn¡¯t see it clearly, so she did not know what the snake was thinking. Dong Xi thought carefully. Did she say something wrong? After a long time, Su Cheng faintly said, ¡°The human race always makes their own mistakes and then throws the me to others. First, it was the demon race, and now it¡¯s the demonic beast race.¡± Dong Xi pretended to be calm and said, ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s not the demon race, so it¡¯s fine. I thought it was true. Not long ago, the demon race in the valley was an example. A demon is already so powerful. If the demon race really invades, it¡¯ll be really tragic!¡± Su Cheng¡¯s face became more and more serious as he listened to Dong Xi¡¯s words. He smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re just a kid. Why are you thinking so much? even if the sky falls, there¡¯s still the Sect Master. You don¡¯t need to worry.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Dong Xi went out and stood under the sun. The cold feeling dissipated bit by bit. The smile on Dong Xi¡¯s face disappeared, and her expression gradually became serious. There was no other reason, but Dong Xi suddenly had a guess. The unkempt snake that Dong Xi had returned with might be Demon Lord Su Cheng? Dong Xi subconsciously walked towards the willow tree. Liu Qing and Songsong saw Dong Xi and immediately came down from the tree. Songsong¡¯s concerned words resounded in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. ¡°Xiaoxi! You¡¯re finally out! Did the snake bully you?¡± Dong Xi looked into Songsong¡¯s eyes. She did not want them to worry. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°No, snakes are usually very reasonable.¡± Only then did Songsong rx. Liu Qing, who was beside her, asked, ¡°Xiaoxi, Songsong said that the snake is your ancestor? Your family has a demonic beast bloodline?¡± Dong Xi waspletely dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t Liu Qing¡¯s imagination a little too rich? Dong Xi looked at Songsong, who was spouting nonsense. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Song song, did you say that the snake is my ancestor?¡± At this moment, Songsong did not realize the severity of the situation. It looked at Dong Xi with a puzzled face and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it? Didn¡¯t you say you were going in to coax our ancestor?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± That¡¯s right, this little demonic beast, Songsong, still doesn¡¯t understand the twists and turns of how humans address each other. Dong Xi let out a sigh and exined, ¡°He¡¯s not my ancestor. I saved him before. Now, he¡¯s just a Turtledove upying the magpie¡¯s nest.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Liu Qing asked, puzzled. Dong Xi took out the thing that the serpent had given her and waved it in front of Songsong and Liu Qing. Dong Xi said, ¡°He was the one who upied my house. But it¡¯s fine, he paid the rent!¡± Liu Qing finally understood. Dong Xi was afraid that these two guys would continue to talk nonsense. Dong Xi said seriously, ¡°You must not tell anyone that he is here. Now that we have formed a contract, we are on the same boat. If anything happens to him, I will not have a good end either!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s tone was filled with grief and indignation. Ever since she had been stabbed through the heart by a sword, Dong Xi had been living on the edge, living carefully. Right now, Dong Xi only wanted to be stronger as soon as possible. Otherwise, when would she be able to control her own fate? ¡°I have a contract with Xiaoxi,¡± said Songsong seriously. ¡°I won¡¯t say anything.¡± ¡°Xiaoxi saved Xiao Qing, so Xiao Qing won¡¯t say anything,¡± Liu Qing nodded. When Dong Xi heard the two of them say this, a gratified smile appeared on her face. At this moment, the prohibition outside the mountain seemed to have been touched by someone. Chapter 187 - 187 Junior Sister, You’re Finally Back 187 Junior Sister, You¡¯re Finally Back Dong Xi did not even need to look to know that the voice transmission talisman was sent by her master. Only her master would use such an outdated method. Dong Xi ced the voice transmission talisman in. It was indeed her master¡¯s voice transmission talisman. As the voice transmission talisman dissipated, Master Lingxu¡¯s voice appeared. He said, ¡°Xiaoxi, since you¡¯re back,e to my cave abode.¡± After Dong Xi had settled Songsong and Liu Qing, she immediately flew toward her master¡¯s cave. This time, when she went to see her master, Dong Xi must inquire about what Demon Lord Su Cheng¡¯s true body was! Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation base was vastly different from before. Not only was she fast, but she could also step on the little turtle with both his feet! Dong Xi slowlynded in front of Lingxu¡¯s cave. Before she entered, she saw a familiar figure. ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re finally back!¡± said Li Li. Previously, because of Dong Xi¡¯s words, Li Li went into seclusion for a long time again, and his major realm already showed signs of loosening. Li Li was about to enter the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, so he had to find a ce with sufficient spiritual Qi. Otherwise, he would not be able to pass the Heavenly Tribtion, and naturally, he could not continue to stay in the Ningtian Sect. If they were to undergo the Tribtion here, ording to Wei Nan¡¯s temper, Destiny Valley would probably owe the Ningtian Sect a huge debt. Dong Xi was even more surprised to see Li Li. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re still here?¡± Li Li, ¡°¡­¡± Li Li was originally full of joy, but now he did not really want to say it. Li Li sighed and said with a bitter face, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re really not polite at all!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she coughed a few times. Dong Xi said, ¡°I just thought that Senior Brother had already left. I didn¡¯t expect you to still be here. I¡¯m a little surprised.¡± Li Li did not argue too much. If he had to argue about everything, he would have been angered to death by this girl. Li Li waved his hand and said, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m also here today to bid farewell to Master Lingxu. It¡¯s fate that I happened to meet you.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. She had only casually mentioned about this, did he really have to leave? ¡°Senior Brother, are you going back to Destiny Valley?¡± Dong Xi asked. Li Li nodded and did not hide anything. He said, ¡°My cultivation realm has been loosening up a bit these few days. I need to go back and cross the Tribtion.¡± Dong Xi was suddenly enlightened. At that time, Eldest Senior Brother had used half a spirit meridian to break through. Now Li Li seemed to be in the Nascent Soul stage. If he were to break through, he would probably need more spirit Qi, right? If he were to break through here, the spiritual energy here would not recover in a short time. Dong Xi did not try to persuade him to stay. She simply cupped her fists and said, ¡°Junior Sister will first congratte Senior Brother!¡± Li Li took out hermunication jade slip and said, ¡°No need to congratte me yet. Junior Sister, please give me some spiritual breath so that I can learn from you in the future!¡± No matter what, Li Li was still a Nascent Soul cultivator. A Qi Refinement cultivator like Dong Xi was nothing in front of Li Li, but since Li Li had said so, Dong Xi certainly would not refuse. Dong Li immediately took out hermunication Jade slip and added him as a friend. Unexpectedly, when Dong Xi looked up, he saw Li Li raising his eyebrows. Li Li said, ¡°Junior Sister, your Senior Brother¡¯s divinations have been very urate these days. Do you need me to help you?¡± The corner of Dong Xi¡¯s mouth twitched, and when he saw Li Li¡¯s obviously passionate eyes, he sighed helplessly in his heart. It was really difficult to refuse such kindness! Dong Xi¡¯s young face had a solemness that did not match her age. She said,¡±Senior Brother, if you want to do it, then so be it. But there¡¯s one thing you have to say, no matter what the result is, don¡¯t mess up your Dao heart!¡± When Li Li heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was stunned. Dong Xi looked at Li Li and was stunned. Dong Xi lowered her head. After a long time, Li Li raised his head and looked at Dong Xi. He said with some regret, ¡°Junior Sister, why don¡¯t we just let it go?¡± Li Li was really afraid that his Daoist heart would be messed up. After living for so many years, this was the first time that he was a little afraid of fortune-telling for others, and it was to a little girl who was only in her teens. When Dong Xi heard Li Li¡¯s words, she smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s up to you, Senior Brother. If you want to read in the future, you can too.¡± As the two of them were talking, the door of the cave dwelling opened and Master Lingxu walked out. He looked at the two of them and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, why don¡¯t you hurry in and let master wait in the room!¡± ¡°I was just about to go in, but I didn¡¯t expect to run into Senior Brother Li Li, so we chatted for a while,¡± said Dong Xi immediately with cupped fists. When Lingxu heard Dong Xi call Li Li ¡®Senior Brother¡¯, the corner of his mouth twitched. Lingxu said, ¡°Xiaoxi, don¡¯t be unreasonable. You should call me ¡®martial uncle¡¯!¡± Dong Xi did not say much and just nced at Li Li. Chapter 188 - 188 Face Is Still Very Important 188 Face Is Still Very Important Li Li saw Dong Xi¡¯s eyes and understood. He immediately said, ¡°Master Lingxu, please don¡¯t me me. I was the one who asked Xiaoxi to address you as Senior Brother.¡± Li Li still wanted to ask Dong Xi for advice. If he were to be called martial uncle, wouldn¡¯t he lose face? After all, face was still very important! Lingxu looked at Li Li, then at Dong Xi, and helplessly sighed. Forget it, this was Li Li lowering his status, and Master Lingxu did not want to care so much. Li Li came over to bid farewell to Master Lingxu and told him about the Tribtion Transcendence. Master Lingxu naturally congratted him and even gave him a pill. This is a Foundation-Building and Essence-Cultivating Pill,¡± said Master Lingxu. ¡°After Master Li Li breaks through, this pill can help you strengthen your foundation and essence and stabilize your cultivation realm. Li Li kept the pill and remembered their friendship. Then, he took out an eight-trigram disk and jumped on it. He cupped his fists at Master Lingxu and his disciple and left. Only then did Master Lingxu look at Dong Xi again. He asked, ¡°I heard that you¡¯ve been out for training?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded and said, ¡°Master, I¡¯ve gone out to fight a few demonic beasts, but I¡¯ve found that my cultivation base is still too weak.¡± When Master Lingxu heard this, he chuckled and said, ¡°With your current behavior, most people can easily kill you. Master has heard that not long ago, something happened in Fotai City? I heard that a disciple of the Masked Moon Sect had died? I heard he¡¯s the grandson of Elder Zha Chen?¡± Speaking of this, Master Lingxu sighed and continued, ¡°Elder Zha Chen, how could you let a Foundation Establishment cultivator kill your grandson? It¡¯s so embarrassing. There are so many good things, but can¡¯t you give me one or two to save my life!¡± As he was speaking, Master Lingxu stopped. As if he had thought of something, he immediately took out an item from his storage ring and handed it to Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at the item with curiosity. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Master, what is this thing?¡± Master Lingxu snorted and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll hear bad news about you one day. I¡¯m old and can¡¯t bear it. This is the Golden Cicada Robe. It only has one function: to let the Golden Cicada escape from its shell.¡± Dong Xi frowned. She could understand what his master was saying, but what was the use of the cicada shedding its shell? Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s confused expression, Lingxu knew that Dong Xi might not have understood, so he exined, ¡°Wear this on your body. As long as you are attacked, it will shatter and help you block the attack. At the same time, it will teleport you 20 miles away.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, her eyes were filled with surprise. Dong Xi said in surprise, ¡°That¡¯s a really good thing!¡± Seeing the surprise on Dong Xi¡¯s face, Master Lingxu was naturally very satisfied. He said, ¡°You¡¯re myst disciple, of course, I have to protect you well.¡± The smile on Dong Xi¡¯s face instantly froze when she heard the word st disciple¡¯. She looked at Master Lingxu in disbelief. Last disciple? Shouldn¡¯t it be Chi Yan? Dong Xi had always thought that she was only here to be Chi Yan¡¯s sparring partner. At that time, Dong Xi felt that it was already a great opportunity for her master to take her in, but now her master had actually personally said that she was hisst disciple? Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s astonished expression, Master Lingxu smiled and did not exin anything. He then said with a smile, ¡°Silly child, quickly go and prepare. Tomorrow, ask the Alchemy Sect disciples go and make their prescriptions. You can tell them how to refine a furnace of good pills!¡± Dong Xi immediately agreed. Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to have thought of something and immediately turned around and cupped her fists. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Master, the Beast Trainer Sect said that the demonic race had invaded. Is this for real?¡± When Master Lingxu heard this, heughed disdainfully and did not hide the sarcasm on his face. He mocked, ¡°They are afraid that they won¡¯t be able to answer to the Masked Moon Sect, so they said such a lie.¡± Dong Xi was about to continue asking about Demon Lord Su Cheng¡¯s main body when she heard Master Lingxu continue, ¡°Yesterday, Daoist Master Li Li had already divined for Beast Trainer Sect, but he didn¡¯t find any changes. The most likely variables in the divination were that Beast Trainer Sect was lying, or that their disciple who was invaded by the demons was already dead. It could also be that Daoist Master Li Li didn¡¯t predict it correctly.¡± Master Lingxu mentioned a few of his conjectures, but in this world, perhaps only Dong Xi knew the truth of the matter. It was true that the Beast Trainer Sect disciple had killed the Masked Moon Sect disciple, but the Beast Trainer Sect disciple had been killed by the giant snake in an instant¡­ She still needed to test if the giant snake was a demon, but this test was a little dangerous. Chapter 189 - 189 Don’t Go Out Anymore 189 Don¡¯t Go Out Anymore Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s nervous expression, Master Lingxu raised his hand and touched the top of Dong Xi¡¯s head. He said, ¡°Right now, your cultivation is still shallow, and the eight great sects will also secretly kill you for the sake of ranking, especially for the two words ¡®Righteous Sects¡¯! Before you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, don¡¯t go out!¡± Dong Xi recalled the feeling of being pierced through the heart by a sword and immediately admitted defeat. Dong Xi nodded honestly. After that, Dong Xi raised her head and looked at her master. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Master, I saw someone mention Demon Lord Su Cheng in the square in the jade slip. Do you think this matter has something to do with the Demon Lord?¡± Su Cheng, who was recuperating in the cave, sneezed for no reason. He frowned. What was going on? How could a snake catch a cold? !! On the other side, Lingxu knocked on Dong Xi¡¯s head, and he said, ¡°You little fellow, you¡¯re quite meddlesome. It¡¯s the Sect Master¡¯s business to discuss whether the demon race will invade or not.¡± Dong Xi rubbed her head and said with an aggrieved expression, ¡°It hurts!¡± When Master Lingxu saw the little girl¡¯s expression, he smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re talking about body cultivation? He can¡¯t even withstand this little bit of pain? People willugh their teeth off if they know!¡± Dong Xi puffed out her chest and said, ¡°Disciple has just started body refining, I will definitely not be like this in the future!¡± After saying that, she leaned toward her master with a curious look on her face. Dong Xi asked nosily, ¡°Master, what is the true form of that demon Su Cheng?¡± While she asked this question, Lingxu did not know how she was feeling. Dong Xi¡¯s fists and palms were already sweating. She was even more nervous than when she had to check the college entrance examination results in her previous life. Master Lingxu did not think much and said directly, ¡°Su Cheng¡¯s true form is a snake. No one knew about it untilst year when he went through the Lightning Tribtion. He transformed into his true form and forcefully withstood the Lightning Tribtion.¡± Master Lingxu spoke for a long time before he realized that something was not quite right with his little disciple. Why was she a little excited? At this time, Dong Xi could bepletely sure that the big snake he saved was Demon Lord Su Cheng! Was this thew of transmigration? ¡°What kind of outrageous thing did the demon race do, Master?¡± asked Dong Xi doubtfully. ¡°Why did the eight great system-allocated sects have to kill him?¡± Dong Xi had surfed the jade slip and read the books in the Library Pavilion, but there were no records of the demon race. They were probably restricted by the major sects. Master Lingxu frowned. This little disciple¡¯s question had really stumped him, and he did not know how to answer it now. Master Lingxu could only say hesitantly, ¡°Since ancient times¡­ the demon race and our human race have always been irreconcble¡­¡± It should be some old grudge again. Dong Xi sighed softly, but did not dwell on it too much. Instead, she asked a second question. ¡°Master, is it true that everyone¡¯s Heavenly Tribtion would be the same?¡± Dong Xi asked. When Reverend Lingxu heard this question, he looked at Dong Xi and said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s not it. The more Lightning Tribtions there are, the more it proves that this person¡¯s aptitude is heaven-defying. Even the heavens can¡¯t stand it and want to destroy him.¡± Dong Xi was secretly speechless. ¡®So that¡¯s the case. No wonder the snake was so seriously injured. That was 81 bolts of lightning!¡¯ As for Dong Xi¡¯s trashy three spirit root, there was no reason for the heavens not to ept her, right? Dong Xi did not know how many Lightning Tribtions there would be. ording to the great snake, the Lightning Tribtion had the ability to temper one¡¯s body. Hehe¡­ If Su Cheng knew what Dong Xi was thinking now, he would call her crazy! Even Su Cheng only dared to resist the Lightning Tribtion because of his strong body. He even refined some of the power of the Lightning Tribtion. However, this young human could be killed with a wave of his hand. How dare she have such crazy thoughts? Dong Xi looked at Master Lingxu and continued to ask, ¡°Master, do I really have to transcend the Lightning Tribtion by myself? Can someone else take my ce?¡± When Master Lingxu heard this, his face instantly darkened. He then rebuked sternly, ¡°You¡¯re just a little girl. How long have you been cultivating? how can you have such a thought? How could cultivation be reced? Who¡¯s the one that¡¯s cultivating?¡± When Dong Xi heard what Master Lingxu said, she knew that she was thinking too much. She immediately exined, ¡°Master, it¡¯s nothing. This disciple was just casually asking¡­¡± ¡®Forget it. I¡¯ll ask him anonymously on the jade slip when I get back.¡¯ No matter what, her master had just given her a treasure, so she could not anger his master to the point of causing any harm! Dong Xi came out of Master Lingxu¡¯s cave and immediately took out a jade slip to send an anonymous question. [Can someone else transcend the Lightning Tribtion in my ce?] Chapter 190 - 190 Whimsical 190 Whimsical In the short time that Dong Xi had returned to his cave, many enthusiastic fellow Immortals had replied to him on the jade slip. [Where did this newbiee from? Only newbies can be so whimsical.] [You¡¯ve just started cultivating and you¡¯re already thinking of going astray. How can you cultivate properly!?] [Young people nowadays are getting more and more useless.] ¡­ !! Most of them were just preaching, and Dong Xi only saw the real answer at the end. [Of course there¡¯s a way. If you help someone else transcend the Tribtion, you¡¯ll have to bear twice the amount. Moreover, the Lightning Tribtion will also strengthen ording to the cultivation level of the substitute, so almost no one will help others transcend the Tribtion.] Look, this person¡¯s answer was so good. That meant that there were still cases of people helping others like this! Dong Xi even privately messaged this enthusiastic person. [What would happen if two people were to transcend the Tribtion together?] This person immediately replied. [Both of them will suffer the Lightning Tribtion, and the Lightning Tribtion will be judged ording to the person with the higher cultivation.] Dong Xi¡¯s eyes brightened. This time, she really understood. ording to the rules of the Immortal cultivation world, only after the Golden Core stage would one encounter the first Tribtion. With Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation level, she was simply courting death by freeloading off other people¡¯s Tribtion to temper her body. However, the power of Tribtion was indeed a shortcut to body-tempering, just that it was more painful. What should Dong Xi do? Dong Xi started to think. Hermunication jade slip lit up again. Dong Xi came back to her senses and immediately checked it. She saw someone replying to her. [Fellow Immortal, are you also a mutated lightning spirit root?] The word ¡®also¡¯ was very subtle, and to be able to ask this meant that this person had a high probability of having a lightning spirit root. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and did not reply directly. This was the time to show the profoundness of hisnguage. Dong Xi replied. [Fellow Daoist, you too?] The other party replied immediately. [To be honest, when I saw you ask this, I remembered that when I was young, I also wanted to absorb the power of the Lighting Tribtion to cultivate. For disciples with lightning spirit roots like us, we still have some resistance to the Lightning Tribtion. However, the Lightning Tribtion is very powerful. Even the weakest Golden Core Tribtion, we can¡¯t cope with it.] This Immortal friend¡¯s words were pleasing to the eye and had a profound feeling. Moreover, this statement was in line with Dong Xi¡¯s worries. The next round of Immortal friend¡¯s words opened Dong Xi¡¯s mind. [Although we can¡¯t use the power of the Lightning Tribtion, you can still try the lightning in Lightning Mountain. The strength of the lightning there increases bit by bit from the periphery to the center. It¡¯s a great ce for us lightning spirit roots. If you have time, you can try it.] Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately sent a message. [Fellow Daoist, where do you think this Lightning Mountain is?] The other party replied quickly. [Lightning Forest.] Dong Xi made a mental note of this ce. Right now, Dong Xi was still a weak little guy, so it would be better to wait until he reached the third level of Body Refining tier before going to Lightning Mountain. However, as mentioned in the jade slip before, it was also possible to find a ce where it was rich. Dong Xi sent a message to her Immortal friend. [I will remember it. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Immortal.] On the other end of the jade slip, an old man looked at the words of gratitude on the jade slip and stroked his beard in satisfaction. ¡°After learning how to use jade slips these few days, I¡¯ve once again helped my little fellow Immortal. The current cultivation world is changing very quickly, especiallymunication jade slips, which are much more convenient than in the past.¡± Just as the old man was feeling happy, a child shouted from outside, ¡°The Sect Master hase to see you, Patriarch!¡± The Lightning Grandmaster kept the jade slip and said to the outside, ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Jiang Huang, the sect master of the Heaven Thunder Hall, walked in from the outside. She cupped her fists at the Thunder Grandmaster and said respectfully, ¡°Jiang Huang Jin greets Old Master!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The Lightning Grandmaster nodded. ¡°Patriarch,¡± Jiang Huang said with a frown, ¡°In the past few months, 17 of our disciples have died. Now, the disciples are all panicking.¡± The Lightning Grandmaster felt that something was amiss. There was no war in the cultivation world at the moment, and low-level disciples would not go to dangerous ces. How could there be such a high death rate? ¡°Have you found out the reason?¡± asked the Lightning Grandmaster. ¡°I¡¯ve checked a few times, but I don¡¯t have any concrete evidence,¡± Jiang Huang shook her head. The Heaven Thunder Hall was ranked third among the eight great sects. The eight great sects would hold another sectpetition in five years. Then, they would re-rank the sects ording to the ranking of their disciples. This ranking was not only pleasant to hear, but it also determined the number of people each sect could send to the Secret Realm. The higher the ranking, the more people they could send to the Secret Realm. This kind of Secret Realm was not like the Secret Realm where new disciples went to train. Some of the legacies in Secret Realms had not been passed down to anyone yet. The more disciples that entered, the greater the chance! Chapter 191 - 191 We’ll Do as You Say 191 We¡¯ll Do as You Say For this reason, the sects that were ranked lower would try their best to deal with the sects that were ranked higher. The Lightning Grandmaster looked at Jiang Huang and asked, ¡°Although I¡¯m not 100 percent confident, I have some clues. Let¡¯s talk about it.¡± Jiang Huang sighed. ¡°From the clues we found, there might be people from Hehuan Valley here, but the evidence isn¡¯t urate enough¡­¡± The Lightning Grandmaster recalled that when he was ying with themunication jade slip earlier, he had seen a message on it. A look of sudden realization appeared on his face as he said, ¡°Have you heard about the Beast Trainer Sect killing the disciples of the Masked Moon Sect?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Jiang Huang nodded, ¡°But the Beast Trainer Sect has already said that the disciples of the sect were possessed by demons.¡± !! The Lightning Grandmasterughed sarcastically and said nothing, but Jiang Huang already understood. Jiang Huang cupped his fists and exined the purpose of his visit. Huang Jiang said, ¡°Old Master, I want to open the trial grounds and let the sect¡¯s disciples cultivate inside. It¡¯s already very dangerous to go out now, so let them enter the trial grounds for the time being.¡± The trial grounds had already been opened when these disciples first entered the sect. If they wanted to open it again, even Jiang Huang, who was the Sect Master, had no right. ording to the rules, they had to get the approval of the sect¡¯s Patriarchs. At this time, many Patriarchs were in seclusion, and only the hot-tempered Lightning Grandmaster came out. The Lightning Grandmaster pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°We¡¯ll do as you say.¡± Jiang Huangughed and cupped his fists, ¡°I thank Old Master on behalf of the sect¡¯s junior disciples!¡± ¡­ Although the death and injury rate in the Heaven Thunder Hall was not low, the disciples of the Ningtian Sect, who were ranked second, had it even worse. Unlike the other sects, almost all the sword cultivators of the Ningtian Sect left the mountain to train. Last month, almost all the sword cultivators of the sect had epted missions. Those who did not have any missions even formed teams with the disciples of the Alchemy Sect, the Equipment Refining Sect, and the Talisman Sect. Everyone knew that no matter where a sword cultivator went, not even a de of grass would grow. They would kill beasts, touch trees, and cut down trees. In order to earn some spirit stones, they would do almost anything. However, these swordsmen could not stop an ambush. The power of sword cultivators was not only in spells, but also in sword techniques. Compared to other cultivators, sword cultivators had the strength to fight above their level. Many of them came back with wounds all over their bodies. Some of them were lucky and were saved by Master Wukun who was passing by. The sect counted carefully and found that seven disciples had died in three months. When Master Yijian learned of this, he was furious. These disciples had been painstakingly cultivated. How could they be killed just like that? Master Yijian was so angry that he shouted in the Sect Master¡¯s Wei Nan cave abode, ¡°You can¡¯t afford to y? You actually dare to treat our disciple like this?¡± Wei Nan¡¯s expression was also quite unsightly, but he was also worried that Master Yijian would really do something. Wei Nan immediately consoled him, ¡°They¡¯re all sinister and shady. Wait in the arena. We¡¯ll deal with them openly!¡± When Master Yijian heard this, he was taken aback. He then asked, ¡°Senior Brother, you already know which sect did it?¡± Before Wei Nan could say anything, Master Yijian said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Sect Master, you have a mirror that can turn back time. You can definitely find out who did it!¡± Hearing this, Wei Nan sighed and said, ¡°How could the person who attacked not know about this? Since they dared to attack, they naturally wouldn¡¯t let us discover them so easily.¡± The Time-Tracking Mirror was a treasure that every Sect Master of the Ningtian Sect kept. All the major sects in the Immortal cultivation world knew about this. asionally, some people woulde to borrow it from Wei Nan, and the frozen heaven sect earned a lot of spirit stones from it. Master Yijian frowned. Wei Nan said, ¡°The attackers were all dressed in ck, and they were all using swords. There were all kinds of sword techniques, and almost all of them were not verymon. I also checked the scene of the attack on a few disciples, and found that among these people, a few of their movement techniques were simr to the Green Cloud Sect¡¯s Cloud Ladder¡­¡± Master Yijian nodded and walked out. ¡°Junior Brother!¡± Wei Nan immediately shouted. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to spar with the Green Cloud Sect!¡± Master Yijian said. With that, he walked out. ¡°We don¡¯t have enough evidence right now,¡± said Wei Nan hurriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t make a scene that can¡¯t be resolved!¡± Master Yijian summoned his sword and jumped onto it. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother. I understand.¡± When Wei Nan heard Master Yijian¡¯s words, he seemed to truly be at ease. He did not even bother giving chase. When Wei Nan¡¯s disciples saw Master Yijian leave, they asked worriedly, ¡°Master, Martial Uncle Yijian is a reckless person. If he just goes like this, what if something really happens?¡± Chapter 192 - 192 Wouldn’t They Have Died in Vain? 192 Wouldn¡¯t They Have Died in Vain? Wei Nan sat on the futon with a look of relief, his eyes cold. ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing,¡± Wei Nan said. ¡°If I can¡¯t get my revenge, then all those disciples would have died for nothing.¡± The disciples of Wei Nan thought of their junior brothers who had died outside, and their faces slowly darkened. ¡­ Daoist Yijian stepped on his sword and killed his way to the front of the Green Cloud Sect. The Green Cloud Sect was the number one sect in the Immortal cultivation world. In recent years, the power of the Ningtian Sect had grown stronger and stronger. The Green Cloud Sect was afraid that they would be defeated by the Ningtian Sect this time, so they had made a move on the new disciples of the Ningtian Sect. Daoist Yijian stood in the air and shouted at the Green Cloud Sect, ¡°Yijian of the Ningtian Sect is here to exchange pointers with your sect. I hope that all of you will not mind!¡± His voice was filled with spiritual energy and it was like a thunderp as it exploded throughout the entire sect. The Green Cloud disciples immediately reported the matter to their Sect Master, Chou Rong. When Chou Rong heard the voice outside, he immediately frowned. Chou Rong bitterly said, ¡°Yijian, are you not in good spirits? It¡¯s just six new disciples, why did you have toe personally? So many people from the Sound of Thunder Sect died, but they didn¡¯te to us!¡± Chou Rong had not expected that so many new disciples of the Ningtian Sect would be able to escape after sending so many people. In the end, only a few were left. If they really waited until thepetition, the best of the best would be the biggest enemy of the Green Cloud Sect disciples. The disciples of the Green Cloud Sect asked anxiously, ¡°Sect Master, what should we do now?¡± Chou Rong put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth a few times. He then said, ¡°Let him be. Anyway, there¡¯s still the sect-protecting grand array. It¡¯s impossible for Yijian to break it!¡± Master Yijian was very famous in the world of cultivation. Now, he had reached the great sess stage of the Soul Separation stage and his sword move, the Breaking Rain and Piercing Clouds was even more impressive. He could even fight against a master of the Form Synthesis stage. In the Immortal cultivation world, he ws known as the Mad Yijian. As long as it was a fight, it would be a life-and-death struggle. Even if it was a normal sparring session, it would be made as if there was a deep hatred. Of course, no one was willing to go out and fight Yijian! Master Yijian waited for a long time, but no one from the Green Cloud Sect came out. He was even more furious. ¡°If the people of Green Cloud Sect is busy, I¡¯ll guard the door for you!¡± Master Yijian roared. ¡°Unless someonees out to fight me, no one is allowed to leave!¡± Master Yijian did not believe that the Green Cloud Sect could be a coward forever. When Chou Rong heard this, he angrily mmed the table and stood up. He roared, ¡°Release the men! This Yijian is too arrogant!¡± None of the elders in the room said anything. At this moment, an elder could not stand it anymore and stood up and said, ¡°Sect Master, I¡¯ll go and fight with Yijian!¡± Chou Rong raised his head and looked at the person who spoke. Chou Rong frowned. After a long time, he sighed and said, ¡°Junior Brother Song Qiang, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then.¡± Master Song Qiang did not waste any time and directly walked out of the sect. Song Qiang shouted, ¡°Yijian! I¡¯m going to take care of you now!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi meditated and cultivated in the courtyard for the whole night, and Liu Qing apanied him for the whole night. It was not until Dong Xi stood up and stretched his back that Liu Qing asked, ¡°Xiaoxi, do you cultivate like this every day?¡± Hearing Liu Qing¡¯s words, Dong Xi looked at Liu Qing. Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right! The path of cultivation is difficult to begin with, so of course you have to double your efforts!¡± Liu Qing, who cultivated with a Buddhist mindset every day and relied on luck to absorb as much spiritual Qi as she could, suddenly felt a little ashamed when she heard Dong Xi¡¯s words. ¡°Xiaoxi is right,¡± Liu Qing said. ¡°If I had cultivated properly from the moment I was born, I wouldn¡¯t have been unable to help Ah Leng. I have to work hard in the future!¡± Dong Xi nodded, looking like a promising student. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a run. You stay here and cultivate. We¡¯ll go together when Ie back tonight.¡± Liu Qing looked at Dong Xi with eager eyes. Dong Xi used spiritual Qi to sort out the small spirit nts in the field, and then ran down the mountain.¡± The current Dong Xi could run up and down the mountain three times with ease. Not only was her speed fast, but even the soreness in her muscles was slowly disappearing. After Dong Xi finished running, she stood on the spot and began to swing her sword a thousand times. Then, she took a medicinal pill and cast a cleaning spell on herself. She looked at the time and walked back to the alchemy room. Since she had promised her master to share her experience with his fellow disciples, she had to do it. Dong Xi walked to the alchemy room. Although it was not time yet, many disciples had already arrived. The disciples sat in a circle and discussed. I heard that Uncle-Master Yijian went straight to the Green Cloud Sect. ¡°That¡¯s right! I saw on the jade slip that the Green Cloud Sect disciples said that Martial-Yncle Yijian blocked the Green Cloud Sect¡¯s entrance and didn¡¯t let them in or out.¡± Chapter 193 - 193 Time for a Divination 193 Time for a Divination When Dong Xi heard the discussion of the disciples, she immediately perked up! Although the gossip was good, the main character of the gossip was Dong Xi¡¯s other master! Dong Xi immediately walked over. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Why did Master Yijian go back to the Green Cloud Sect to cause trouble? ¡± When Dong Xi was out on a mission, what major event had she missed? When the crowd saw that it was Dong Xi, they were momentarily stunned. Then, they cupped their fists respectfully and said, ¡± ¡°Greetings, Senior Sister.¡± When Dong Xi first entered the Ningtian Sect, everyone had called her Junior Sister. Now that Dong Xi¡¯s strength was far ahead of everyone else, everyone was sincerely convinced that she was their Senior Sister. Dong Xi nodded and continued to ask, ¡°You haven¡¯t told me why my master went to the Green Cloud Sect to find trouble. Why?¡± Everyone knew that Dong Xi had joined the Sword Sect. When they heard Dong Xi say that Yijian was her master, they were all very surprised. One of them immediately exined, ¡°A few days ago, a few of our sect¡¯s disciples lost their lives. Although there¡¯s no concrete evidence, perfected Yijian couldn¡¯t stand it and went to the Green Cloud Sect alone.¡± The Green Cloud Sect was the number one sect in the Eastern Montinent. Master was going alone, did he not want to live? Dong Xi¡¯s expression immediately turned anxious. She immediately sent a message to Master Yijian, but there was no reply. Dong Xi bit his lip and took out a stack of papers in front of everyone. It¡¯s time for a divination! The sect¡¯s disciples watched as Dong Xi spread the paper on the stone steps in front of the alchemy room, and then began to calcte in front of everyone in the dark. Everyone gathered around curiously. Dong Xi was not afraid to let people see it. In any case, they were all Arabic numbers. In the entire Immortal cultivation world, only Dong Xi himself should be able to understand it. Dong Xi began to calcte without any distracting thoughts. The surrounding people did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid of disturbing Dong Xi. After Dong Xi finished calcting, she took out the divination exnation book that Li Li had given her before from her storage ring and flipped to the corresponding page. When she saw the exnation in the book, she heaved a sigh of relief. ording to the divination, Master would be fine, and the Green Cloud Sect did not get any advantage this time. Feeling relieved, Dong Xi put away all the papers she had calcted and stood up. When everyone saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, they immediately asked, ¡°Senior Sister Dong Xi, what did you just write? Could it be that you¡¯re also very aplished in the Dao of runes?¡± ¡°Runes are broad and profound,¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said with a smile. ¡°How can I be so powerful that I know everything? When everyone heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they heard Dong Xi continue, ¡°I was just helping Master Yijian to read his fortune.¡± When the originally restless crowd heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they immediately fell silent. Runes were broad and profound, so wasn¡¯t divination broad and profound? However, when they saw Dong Xi¡¯s calm and indifferent expression, everyone started to think. Could it be that fortune-telling was really that easy? However, when they thought about the Destiny Valley¡¯s test and the crazy questions, they immediately shook their heads and threw away the unrealistic thoughts in their minds. Everyone looked at the item again and became even more respectful. This was the first time they had seen someone who could perform a divination without the help of oracle bones and magic tools, and could do it with ordinary paper. Some curious people heard Dong Xi say this and immediately asked, ¡°Senior Sister Dong Xi, what about your divination? Did Master Yijian return safely?¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°I¡¯m not very capable, so I can only make a rough calction. At least I can see clearly that the clouds and the moon have appeared this time. Don¡¯t worry, everyone.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi winked at the crowd. She said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If there was anything wrong, the Sect Master wouldn¡¯t let Daoist Yijian go alone.¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, everyone also reacted and began to speak. ¡°Senior Sister Dong Xi is right, there¡¯s still the Sect Master as a backing!¡± ¡°I just hope that Master Yijian can take care of the Green Cloud Sect and avenge our dead Senior and Junior Brothers!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi saw everyone¡¯s slightly excited expression and immediately took the opportunity to say, ¡°This time, Master Yijian is willing to risk his life to help us, new disciples, to vent our anger. This shows how much the sect elder values us. Although our cultivation is low, if we can do our best, we can still help the sect!¡± Dong Xi looked around at the excited crowd and continued, ¡°It¡¯s just like how I can¡¯t make high-grade pills, but we can try the Spirit Restore Pill and Wind Speed Pill. When the other Senior Brothers and Sisters in the sect go out again, they can bring dozens of bottles each. When they run into trouble and want to escape, the enemy can¡¯t do anything to us! Don¡¯t you guys agree?¡± Chapter 194 - 194 What Senior Sister Dong Xi Said Is Right 194 What Senior Sister Dong Xi Said Is Right When everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they instantly thought of the battle. The sect disciples had crazily eaten medicinal pills and thrown out spell techniques as if they were free. Thispletely increased the chances of the sect disciples surviving outside! Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the alchemists at the bottom level were not that useless after all! Everyone immediately chimed in. ¡°Senior Sister Dong Xi is right.¡± ¡°Everyone, focus on your alchemy!¡± ¡°Senior Sister Dong Xi, how do you refine pills? I¡¯m already at the third level of the Qi Refinement stage, but I still can¡¯t sessfully form my core.¡± When someone raised a question, the others immediately nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s right, Senior Sister Dong Xi, I¡¯m the same. I failed at thest step.¡± I heard that Senior Sister Dong Xi has already refined a perfect pill. Can you tell us about it? ¡± ¡°Why are you standing at the door and talking? Let¡¯s go in and ask.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, hurry up and go in!¡± ¡­ Just like that, before Dong Xi could even finish her sentence, she was escorted into the pill refinement room by the group of new disciples. There were at least a few dozen of these disciples, if not a hundred. The pill refinement room was filled with people, and many of them had entered the sect earlier than Dong Xi. Upon hearing that Dong Xi was sharing her experience, they had speciallye over. A disciple who had just entered the sect for more than a year could already refine pills perfectly. Otherwise, there must be a trick. If they could learn a thing or two, it would be of great benefit to their future alchemy! Now that there were so many people, Dong Xi naturally could not solve everyone¡¯s problems one by one like she had done for Chi Yan. She could only teach them how to use the process of elimination to choose the most suitable method. Dong Xi asked, ¡°Have there been any failures when extracting spirit herbs? Please raise your hand.¡± Dong Xi took a look and saw that many people had failed at this step. About one-third of the people had raised their hands. Dong Xi nodded slightly. She asked again, ¡°Alright, put them down. Did anyone fail to bnce the medicinal properties?¡± This time, many people also raised their hands. Dong Xi silently remembered it and then continued to ask, ¡°Have any fusion failed?¡± ¡°Failed core formation?¡± ¡°How many of you don¡¯t have a fire spirit root?¡± ¡°How many people have wood spirit roots?¡± ¡­ After Dong Xi asked these questions, she concluded, ¡°Under normal circumstances, refining pills is very easy for disciples with fire and wood double spirit roots. Almost all the disciples of our Alchemy Sect have fire and wood spirit roots. Without the fire spirit root, they can also use the earth fire in the alchemy room. There is nothing to be discouraged about. As for the people without the wood spirit root¡­¡± Dong Xi paused and then chuckled, ¡°The method I¡¯m going to use is useful for any spirit root. You guys should remember senior Chi Yan, right? Senior Sister Chi Yan doesn¡¯t have a wood spirit root, but she can still refine pills of the same quality.¡± When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately lit up as they looked at Dong Xi. Her expression immediately became serious. She said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me, take out something and note it down! No matter how good your memory is, it is better to write it down! Do you understand?¡± When everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they all took out their things. In any case, there was no harm in recording it down. Looking at the eager faces below, Dong Xi suddenly had the illusion that she had won first ce in her grade and was standing on the podium to give a speech. Dong Xi immediately rxed and told everyone all the methods without holding back. ¡°If you want to improve, you have to summarize it well,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Do you know why you failed every time you failed in alchemy?¡± Dong Xi looked at the crowd. Although very few people raised their hands, there were still more than 20 people. Dong Xi immediately felt a little gratified. ¡°Then, after you seeded, did you think about why you seeded?¡± Dong Xi continued to ask. After Dong Xi said this, everyone, regardless of whether they had seeded or not, fell into deep thought. Did sess also require reflection? Everyone believed that the sess rate was rted to luck. After all, most of the time, even the sect elders could not guarantee the sess rate. Hearing Senior Sister Dong Xi¡¯s words, could it be that the sess rate of pill formation could also be increased? ¡°There are many effects to the formation of the pill, such as the temperature of the fire spirit essence, the length of time, the order of fusion, and the hand seal technique,¡± said Dong Xi. In the beginning, when Dong Xi asked everyone to write it down, some people felt that it was unnecessary. However, when they heard Dong Xi say these words and thoughts that they had never heard of before, everyone was stunned. When they came back to their senses, they immediately found something to write down. Some used jade slips, some prepared pen and paper, and some wrote it down with a brush. Some clever disciples took out jade slips and began to send messages to a fellow disciple. Chapter 195 - 195 Brainstorming 195 Brainstorming Dong Xi said everything he thought of and said with a shy smile, that¡¯s all I can think of right now, but there must be some overlooked factors. Let¡¯s put our heads together and think about it. After Dong Xi finished speaking, the alchemy room fell into silence. Everyone was still immersed in the knowledge from just now. Not to mention brainstorming, even if Dong Xi had said all this, everyone might not be able to understand it. At this moment, the disciple who had been taking notes from the beginning revealed a smile. It was a good thing he had listened to Senior Sister Dong Xi and taken notes from the beginning. He had recorded all of Senior Sister Dong Xi¡¯s dramatic words. Although they did not quite understand it now, they would eventually understand after they went back and thought about it slowly. Most of the people did not remember everything and could only ask each other. ¡°Did you remember everything? Lend me a copy.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve only recorded two. You still have three. Let¡¯s see if they¡¯re repeated.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi looked at everyone¡¯s appearance and suddenly felt a little emotional. As expected, history was always the same. Opportunities were always given to those who were prepared. Listen to your teacher! She had asked them to note it down from the start, but so many people did not do it. Dong Xi felt that she had shared enough for today. After all, it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Today, she had already taught everyone the method to increase the sess rate of pill formation. In the future, as long as everyone thought about it carefully, pill refining would naturally be better. ¡°That¡¯s all for today. After you go back, carefully think about what I just said. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± said Dong Xi. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Dong Xi took out the little turtle. Dong Xi jumped up and straightened her back. Dong Xi had never been so straight before. She tried his best to make himself look like a master. However, Dong Xi did not stand firmly on it, and the little turtle suddenly flipped over. Dong Xi¡¯s feet attached to the little turtle with spiritual Qi, and she flew forward as if she had fallen head first. The wide hem of the clothes stuck to Dong Xi¡¯s face. Dong Xi¡¯s panic turned into a mess in an instant. She was embarrassed to death, what else could it be? In any case, she would not be going out for the next few months. The people who were standing in the alchemy room and watching Dong Xi leave asked doubtfully when they saw Dong Xi¡¯s appearance. ¡°Senior Sister Dong Xi, ummm¡­¡± ¡°Is that body refining? I heard from the Senior Brothers of the Sword Sect that Senior Sister is also a body cultivator!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Hanging upside down like that just now could cause blood to flow to the brain, it should be a way to train the body.¡± ¡°As expected of Senior Sister Dong Xi, she¡¯s too amazing.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi did not know that her shame had already been covered up by those cute Junior Brothers of the sect. At this moment, Dong Xi only knew that the entire sect, even the cultivation world, would know about this. Before that, Dong Xi decided not to go out! Where did the image of an unfathomable and mysterious big boss go? Now, it was all ruined! Dong Xi ran back to the courtyard in front of the cave abode, and Ke Xin sent her a message. [Sister! You¡¯re awesome! When I heard what you said, I immediately understood!] Dong Xi smiled. There were too many people today, and she really could not give her sister any special treatment in front of so many people. The two of them did not even say a word. Dong Xi took the jade scroll and immediately replied to Ke Xin¡¯s message. [It¡¯s good that you understand! You already have double spirit roots, and your natural talent surpasses many people. In the future, you will definitely be an alchemy grandmaster! If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, send me a message at any time. I¡¯ll teach you one-on-one!] When Ke Xin saw the message, she smiled and sent a voice message. Ke Xin said, ¡°Not yet, I¡¯ll think about itter!¡± Dong Xi immediately replied with a voice message. ¡°No problem!¡± Dong Xi put away the jade slip, then took out the broken wooden bucket he had picked up in the vige from her storage ring. The runes on the wooden barrel had been drawn by Kong Xing with blood, and there were still faint traces. Dong Xi used a nk jade slip to copy these runes, then sat cross-legged on the futon with a frown and began to ponder. As he pondered, Dong Xi also used a branch to draw a few runes on the ground. If Kong Xing was here, he would be able to tell with a single nce that this was the rune he had drawn. The stars in the sky were casually drawn, and Dong Xi was actually able to remember them? Dong Xi drew more runes in session. Although they looked simr, Dong Xi sensed that these runes were still missing something. The runes on the ground had no force at all. It was simply a fool¡¯s dream to use them like this! Dong Xi tried to make some changes, but it was to no avail. The path of runes was indeed extensive and profound. It was not something that could be learned just by following the drawing. After Dong Xi studied it for three days and drew thousands of runes, she recognized the current situation. She started to recognize some patterns. Chapter 196 - 196 Book Search 196 Book Search Dong Xi knew that these things weren¡¯t something he could figure out by himself. She should go and look at what the predecessors had said. The moon had just set, and Dong Xi was cultivating. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still dark and that no one would recognize her, she immediately headed for the Library Hall. She should check the books and see what they say. If there was no use in checking the books, Dong Xi could only be thick-skinned and make a deal with Kong Xing! Dong Xi sessfully entered the Library Hall and headed in the direction of the runes. There were very few people reading books here, so she could read books alone toprehend. The runes in the books were like scribbles,pletely iprehensible. Therefore, most of the seal cultivation sects still relied on the guidance of their master. This gave Dong Xi a chance to take advantage of the situation. Dong Xi was the only one who remained silent. She directly sat on the ground and casually took out a book called ¡®Beginner Runes Starting Stance¡¯ and started to read it attentively. ording to the book, the starting position of each rune waspletely different. Different methods of gathering spiritual Qi were also different. Dong Xi opened the table of contents and directly looked for the page with formation-breaking runes. ... In some sense, Stealthily Swapping Pirs was also to break the formation, but it did not destroy the formation. Dong Xi flipped to the formation-breaking runes, which exined the starting position of some runes. How could she just look? There were some things that could be seen from the book, but doing it personally was different. Dong Xi took out a pen and paper that she always carried with her. She was very d to have such a good habit. Then, she began to write and draw on the paper. Dong Xi followed the book¡¯s instructions and used the same starting gesture to draw the rune again, but it was still of no use. Dong Xi did not want to solve it right away. She calmly drew a few more times and memorized all the starting movements. Then she put down the book and took out the Law of Runes. Dong Xi had used all sorts of methods to draw those runes hundreds and thousands of times. Now, she could sense a bit of spiritual power. A smile appeared on Dong Xi¡¯s face. It seemed that the direction of her research this time was correct. Dong Xi immediately took out a new piece of paper and summarized her sessful drawing method. Looking at the results of her hard work, he was very satisfied. Even her handwriting, which had always been unremarkable, seemed to look better at this moment. Dong Xi once again looked at the runes drawn on the wooden barrel by the stars, and she frowned. ... What other reasons had she not found? This rune was too difficult. Just as Dong Xi was thinking, she subconsciously looked at the blood vessels on the back of her hand. A thought instantly appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind, and then she had a look of realization. That¡¯s right! How could Dong Xi have forgotten such an important thing? The runes in the starry sky were drawn with her own blood, so blood must be an important medium! Dong Xi once again looked at her fair and tender hand. She made up her mind. It¡¯s just a little blood. I¡¯ll go all out! Dong Xi used a magic art that Second Senior Brother had taught him before, and a drop of blood appeared on her fingertip. Dong Xi began to draw on the paper with her finger. But soon, another problem appeared. The blood extraction method only required one drop of blood. This little drop of blood was clearly not enough for Dong Xi to draw the runes. The most important thing about drawing runes was that one could not stop. It had to bepleted in one go. ... Dong Xi bit her lip and sighed. ¡°It seems like it¡¯s impossible not to stab myself.¡± Dong Xi took out her sword and cut her finger. Seeing blood gushing out, she immediately started drawing on a new piece of paper. She drew a few, but there was no effect. Dong Xi did not give up and continued to draw with other starting positions. After more than 30 attempts, Dong Xi finally noticed a bit of spiritual power on the paper. However, the spiritual power onlysted for a moment before it dissipated. Then, the paper immediately burst into mes. Dong Xi immediately jumped in fright. This was the Library Hall. If it caught fire, it would be a great disaster! Dong Xi immediately made a hand seal and extinguished the me. Looking at the raggle-filled corridor, Dong Xi was afraid that her Senior Sister would find out and deduct her points, so she cast a cleaning spell again to restore the ce to its previous appearance. Seeing that there were no traces, Dong Xi said in a low voice, ¡°Fortunately, it was sessful. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I would have died from excessive blood loss.¡± Dong Xi put the book in her hand back on the shelf. Now, Dong Xi already had some insights in her heart. The paper that Dong Xi had used to draw was ordinary paper, which could not withstand Dong Xi¡¯s blood and the infusion of spiritual Qi. ... The broken wooden bucket that Kong Xing used to draw in the vige, although it looked very broken, was still made of thousand-year-old peach wood. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ve already figured out what¡¯s going on. I¡¯ll try again when I get back.¡± Chapter 197 - 197 Points Awarded 197 Points Awarded Dong Xi left the Library Hall and returned to her cave abode. Just as she was about to break the restriction and enter, she heard someone shout, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi!¡± Dong Xi turned around and saw a person flying up from the foot of the mountain. Dong Xi felt a little strange. Ever since she moved into the inner sect, no one hade to visit her. Why did someonee today? When Dong Xi saw her, she smiled and said, ¡°Senior Sister Wang Ying? Howe you¡¯re free toe over today?¡± Wang Ying circted her spiritual Qi and increased her speed. She reached Dong Xi¡¯s side in a few seconds. Dong Xi immediately cupped her fists and bowed. Wang Ying returned the gesture. ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi,¡± Wang Ying said with a smile, ¡°I could¡¯ve just sent you a message, but we didn¡¯t leave any spirit breath, so I came here in person.¡± Upon hearing these words, Dong Xi was even more puzzled. Just what matter could it be that would make her Senior Sister personally make a trip down? Wang Ying did not dy and continued, ¡°Junior Sister, the experience you shared half a month ago was recorded by the disciples. Not only were the Alchemy Sect disciples inspired, but the Array Sect and Equipment Refining Sect disciples also benefited greatly. After the Sect Master learned about this, he discussed with the 18 elders and decided to turn your experience into a book and put it in the library. You can also borrow two books at the same time in the future.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. Oh? Wasn¡¯t it a little ridiculous? She only exined how to change the variables for alchemy, right? Wang Ying thought that Dong Xi was too excited and continued, ¡°Other than these, because of your outstanding contribution to the sect, the sect has rewarded you with 30,000 points, which can be used to exchange for cultivation resources.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately drew in a cold breath. No matter how good the reputation was, it was all fake. However, the points were real. 30,000 points! To Dong Xi, who could only get 20 points bypleting a mission, that was a windfall! Dong Xi sincerely cupped her fists and said, ¡°Many thanks, Senior Sister!¡± ¡°Why are you thanking me?¡± Wang Ying asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s all because of your good work!¡± Dong Xi lifted her hand to remove the restriction and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Sister, do you want to go in and sit for a while?¡± Since she was already here, she could not just let her stand outside, right? Although the cave dwelling was upied by the giant snake, Dong Xi could take her to the pond in the backyard to sit down. The great snake was so alert that he could not have been discovered by a low-level cultivator like Senior Sister. Dong Xi had already prepared herself mentally, but she did not expect Wang Ying to reject her directly. Wang Ying said, ¡°I appreciate your kindness, but I just used a speed talisman. I need to go back quickly.¡± Dong Xi fell silent as he watched Senior Sister Wang Ying leave. This Senior Sister looked refined, but she was actually an impatient person. After watching Senior Sister Wang Ying leave, Dong Xi took off the identity token from her waist. Without returning to her cave abode, she jumped onto the little turtle and flew toward the Mission Hall at the foot of the mountain as fast as he could. She had to go and take a look personally. It was useless to just listen to it. She had to see for himself that she had all the points in her ount. Only then would Dong Xi feel at ease! Dong Xi flew to the Missions Hall and immediately rushed in to ce the waist token on the table. Seeing the confused look in the Senior Brother¡¯s eyes, Dong Xi gasped and said, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble Senior Brother to help me take a look, how many points do I have left?¡± Usually, there were many underlings who came to inquire like this. After all, it was difficult to obtain points, and everyone¡¯s days were tight. Once he had investigated clearly, he would know whether he would be taking on missions in the following days or living a calctive life. The Senior Brother on duty picked up the identity card and ced it on the array. Then, a long string of characters appeared. 30,004 points. When Dong Xi personally saw this string of numbers, the corners of her mouth were about to split open. Happiness was always so sudden. How long would she be able to use these points? When the Senior Brother on duty saw the number, he asked with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re Junior Sister Dong Xi?¡± Dong Xi nodded. The Senior Brother on duty continued, ¡°Everyone knows that the sect has rewarded you with points. Now, everyone is under your influence and is working extra hard.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed. The Senior Brother on duty continued, ¡°Especially the disciples of the Sword Sect. They either practice their sword skills or take a bath every day.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. She had just received another piece of news. The bathing pool of the Sword Sect had beenpleted! She could go and freeload tomorrow! ¡°Thank you for your help, Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi with cupped fists. ¡°Junior Sister still has some other matters to attend to. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± She had been a little anxious when she hade over. When she had been driving the little turtle, he had almost exhausted his spiritual energy. The spiritual energy he had left was only enough to use the Earth Bending a few times. Dong Xi ate a medicinal pill and used Ground Bending to return to her cave abode. Chapter 198 - 198 Good News 198 Good News Dong Xi released the restriction and entered. Songsong and Liu Qing ran out. Songsong jumped into Dong Xi¡¯s arms, grabbed her sleeve, and asked, ¡°Xiaoxi, where did you go just now? Why didn¡¯t youe back?¡± Dong Xi knew that the two little fellows had probably missed her. Dong Xi¡¯s face was full of smiles as she said, ¡°There¡¯s good news. The sect has rewarded us with a lot of points.¡± Songsong and Liu Qing did not know what the points were for, but they were happy to see Dong Xi¡¯s happy face. Dong Xi had already ced the futon under the willow tree. She cast a cleaning spell to clean off the dust on the futon and sat on it. Dong Xi thought about the things he had obtained in the past two days, but what she should do now was to find a suitable carrier and carve the runes on it. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and finally looked at the stone sculpture of a frog by the pond. It should not be a problem to use this thing to draw runes, right? Dong Xi raised her hand and used her spiritual Qi to control the frog toe over. However, the frog statue actually showed some resistance. It was useless to use a little spiritual Qi. Dong Xi increased his spiritual energy, and the frog statue finally flew over. Perhaps it was because the frog statue had been nourished by spiritual energy, but it had actually turned greener than before, as if it was showing off that it was not ordinary. Seeing such a frog statue, Dong Xi was also a little excited. Was there a better carrier than this? Dong Xi took out her sword and drew a line on her hand. Then, she drew runes on the frog¡¯s body ording to the method she had learned before. In the end, the runes shed, and Dong Xi felt the fluctuations of the runes. Dong Xi was overjoyed. She had seeded! Dong Xi immediately wanted to try out this newly learned ¡®Stealthily Swapping Pirs¡¯, but she did not know if it was the same as Kong Xing¡¯s. What should Dong Xi change to? Dong Xi looked around and finally looked at the stone door of the Immortal¡¯s cave. A crazy idea appeared in her heart. Didn¡¯t the great snake set up a restriction in the cave? Wasn¡¯t this a ready-made test subject? Research had to be indomitable! Dong Xi immediately stood up and walked to the entrance of the Immortal¡¯s cave. She raised her hand and began to draw runes on the stone door. Su Cheng, who was inside the cave, also felt the little girl¡¯s sneaky behavior outside. He saw the little girl drawing on the door, but he did not know what she was doing. Just as Su Cheng was feeling puzzled, Dong Xi had already finished the rune. She looked at the work on the wall with satisfaction and put away the pen in her hand. Under the cover of Su Cheng¡¯s divine sense, Dong Xi secretly pushed open the stone door, then activated a spell to reach the frog and quickly threw it in. Su Cheng could not understand what the little girl was doing. This little girl always did strange things. But this time, Su Cheng did not bother to understand¡­ Dong Xi saw a green light sh on the restriction of the stone door. The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Dong Xi. The ck clothes swayed slightly, revealing the ck scales underneath. His gaze slowly moved up, and a belt was casually tied around his waist, making him look like a strong man with a narrow back and a curly beard. The man turned around. Dong Xi did not have time to avoid him and met the man¡¯s eyes. Even though the sun was zing, the temperature was instantly gone. Dong Xi could not help but shiver. Dong Xi suddenly realized that she was courting death this time. Although the great snake¡¯s tolerance was still alright, he was still Demon Lord Su Cheng! Being toyed with by Dong Xi like this, in his eyes, didn¡¯t she deserve to die? Dong Xi looked away in fear and guilt. Su Cheng coldly said, ¡°Exin?¡± Dong Xi peeked at Su Cheng and whispered, ¡°I just¡­ want to ask you¡­ toe out to see the sun.¡± It¡¯s over. Even Dong Xi did not believe this exnation. Su Cheng, ¡°¡­¡± Su Cheng looked at the stone door and the runes on it. He said, ¡°You¡¯re really quite capable.¡± Dong Xi was so nervous that her toes were about to break the soles of her shoes. When she heard the great snake say this, she raised her eyebrows. Dong Xu suddenly felt that the great snake did not seem to be too angry. It was said that the demon was numb to killing, but in reality, he was so down-to-earth? Dong Xi raised her head to look at Su Cheng. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she lowered her head. There were some words that no matter how thick-skinned Dong Xi was, she could not say the words out loud. ¡°Speak immediately!¡± Su Cheng frowned. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng¡¯s expression with a strange expression. The snake asked her to say it¡­ ¡°Isn¡¯t it quite interesting?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Do you want to go in and try again?¡± Su Cheng was confused. Dong Xi was just casually saying it and did not dare to really do it. Without waiting for Su Cheng to speak, Dong Xi immediately smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a joke, just a joke¡­ Hahaha.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s looked at Dong Xi for a long time before looking away. The sunlight on her head was a bit ring. Su Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you have the guts to do so.¡± Chapter 199 - 199 Breaking the Array Formation 199 Breaking the Array Formation When Dong Xi heard this, her fear dissipated and he heaved a sigh of relief. Based on Dong Xi¡¯s understanding of the great snake, this matter was considered over. Demon Lord Su Cheng¡¯s generosity was unbelievable. The scene was frighteningly quiet. Songsong and Liu Qing stood under the willow tree, not daring to move forward. Dong Xi wanted to say something to break the silence, but she did not know what to say. !! ¡°What were you doing just now?¡± Su Cheng asked. Dong Xi lowered her head and yed with her fingers, mumbling in a low voice, ¡°Nothing much. I¡¯m just doing some research on how to break formations.¡± Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, ¡°Breaking formations?¡± Why did this human youngling start setting up formations again? She seemed to have some achievements¡­ Su Cheng reached out and grabbed the frog statue that Dong Xi had thrown into the cave. Su Cheng looked at the item in his hand curiously and said in disbelief, ¡°Is this the thing you¡¯re using?¡± Although this statue had some spiritual aura, it was not that strong. In the end, this little thing broke the restriction? And even got him out? Dong Xi did not quite understand it either. Back then, Kong Xing could save Ah Leng with a broken wooden bucket, but he needed Ah Leng¡¯s cooperation. Now, Dong Xi had swapped out the great snake without it knowing? Could it be that the runes were drawn wrongly? But¡­ This was also a type of sess, right? Before Dong Xi could say anything, Su Cheng saw the runes on the frog. He looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°So it¡¯s this a rune?¡± Dong Xi came back to her senses at this moment and nodded. However, she suddenly thought of something and shook her head. Su Cheng was immediately puzzled. He saw Dong Xi turn around and point at the runes on the door. Dong Xi said, ¡°Not only that, but you also need this to use it together.¡± Su Cheng looked at it and suddenly became interested. He looked up at the cave and said, ¡°You go in.¡± Dong Xi was a little confused. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s confusion, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face. He said, ¡°You¡¯ve summoned me once, so isn¡¯t it reasonable for me to summon you again?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± It was reasonable, so reasonable that she could not quite understand it. Was the great snake addicted? Even though she had someints in his heart, when he saw Su Cheng¡¯s gaze, Dong Xi cowered without a future. Forget it, wasn¡¯t it just being summoned once? Let¡¯s go in and experience what it feels like. Dong Xi walked to the stone door, pushed it open, and walked in. Su Cheng held the frog and saw the stone door close. He walked to the door and transmitted his voice to Dong Xi. Su Cheng said, ¡°We¡¯ll start now,¡± Su Cheng¡¯s voice rang out. Dong Xi was standing by the door, her eyes filled with anticipation. She really wanted to know what it felt like to be reced like this. Then, the door opened a crack. The frog statue was thrown in, and Dong Xi instinctively went over to catch it. The statue in Dong Xi¡¯s hand flickered with light. She was not on guard at all. In the next second, it wrapped around Dong Xi¡¯s entire body, and her figure slowly disappeared from the cave. Dong Xi opened her eyes again. She was not in a cava abode, nor was she outside the cave. She was not even in the Ningtian Sect. It was pitch-ck in front of Dong Xi. Her Eight-nine Cultivation Technique was still running, and he did not feel any danger. The fire spirit essence was released from her palm, and a ball of fire lit up the ce. This was not a dark room, nor was it Shandong. It was arge field of green nts that did not seem to be wet. Green nt? The fire appeared on Dong Xi¡¯s hand, and she suddenly realized that the frog statue he had been holding in her hand was gone. Could it be that Dong Xi was currently inside the frog statue? ¡°Hey!¡± Dong Xi shouted. ¡°Can you hear me?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s voice spread far and wide, but there was no response. Dong Xi frowned and continued, you have so many spirit nts here. After eating my spiritual stones, you only gave me a few seeds?! There was still no response. Dong Xi snorted and took out her storage bag. Dong Xi said, ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take all the spirit herbs here!¡± There was still no response. Dong Xi did not hesitate. She would bring these spirit herbs back and use them to refine many medicinal pills! Dong Xi happily waved her shovel and dug up these spirit nts. The high-grade ones were ced into a jade box, while the low-grade ones were casually thrown into the storage bag. It was not until a huge fireball appeared in the sky that Dong Xi stopped what she was doing. The sky was bright, but it was not the sun that rose. How should she exin this? It was a huge fireball that rose to the sky, as if to allow the spiritual nts to grow well and act as an artificial sun. Chapter 200 - 200 I’ve Arrived at a Treasure Land 200 I¡¯ve Arrived at a Treasure Land Dong Xi¡¯s field of vision began to clear up. Only then did he see clearly that the distance was filled with nursery gardens, and Dong Xi was only in one of them. When she thought of the many spirit herbs, Dong Xi was even more motivated. Dong Xi ran forward to choose a high-grade spirit nt and dig it up properly! However, just as Dong Xi was running forward, the air instantly distorted, and Dong Xi¡¯s figure disappeared. !! Dong Xi once again returned to the cave abode, still holding the shovel in hiers hand. Su Cheng sensed Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi outside the door and immediately walked in. Seeing Dong Xi covered in dirt, Su Cheng frowned and asked, ¡°Where did you go just now?¡± Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng. She also wanted to know about this and wanted to go there again. No, she did not mind if she lived there forever! Dong Xi put away the shovel and looked at the frog statue on the ground. She went forward to pick it up and looked at Su Cheng, smiling proudly. Dong Xi said, ¡°Tell me, you can¡¯t possibly be thinking that I¡¯vee to a treasurend!¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Su Cheng was even more curious. He had felt the space fluctuation just now. Su Cheng said, ¡°Treasurend?¡± Su Cheng looked at the frog statue in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. The blood mark was still there, but it felt a little different from before. Just as Su Cheng was sizing it up, Dong Xi suddenly stepped forward and ced the statue in his hand. ¡°Hurry up!¡± Dong Xi said. If you throw it again, I¡¯ll give you 20-80 percent of the spirit nts that I can dig up!¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s money-grubbing face and raised his eyebrows. He wanted to tease her a little, but Su Cheng said, ¡°20-80? You¡¯ll take 20 percent?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s shoulders drooped down in an instant, and she lost all motivation. She could only get 20 percent? Thebor was really cheap. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m not going. I¡¯m going out to practice my sword,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi was about to walk out, but Su Cheng stopped her. He shouted, ¡°Hold up!¡± Dong Xi felt a gust of wind behind her and instinctively dodged to the side. When she saw that it was a frog statue, she reached out and caught it. After that, Dong Xi disappeared. Dong Xi¡¯s vision turned pitch ck once again, but she was extremely happy. The darkness made her feel safe! Dong Xi immediately stretched out her hand and circted her fire spiritual energy to light up the surroundings. Then, she began to dig up the spirit nts. Medicinal herbs in the Immortal cultivation world all had a temper. If they were pulled out and their roots were destroyed, their medicinal properties would quickly be lost. Dong Xi did not have any treasures that could preserve the spirit herbs, so she could only use this method to dig them up bit by bit. Dong Xi dug for the entire night, until the fireball rose, and Dong Xi¡¯s figure began to disappear. When Dong Xi returned to the cave, she maintained her posture of digging spirit herbs. Dong Xi, who noticed the change in the scene, sighed and stood up. The snake was lyingfortably on bed with one hand supporting his head. Looking at the little girl who stood up, Su Cheng asked, ¡°You¡¯re back so quickly?¡± Dong Xi nodded. She had been digging for an entire night. However, she had enough spiritual nts for two consecutive nights, so she could go again after a while. Dong Xi¡¯s hand reached into the storage bag and took out the spirit nts she had worked hard to dig out, cing them on Su Cheng¡¯s table. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi and asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Dong Xi did not stop what she was doing. She said, ¡°We agreed to give you 20 percent.¡± Dong Xi thought that this time, she would keep her promise. Next time, if she asked Su Cheng to send her in, Su Cheng probably would not refuse. Su Cheng nced at the spirit nts and said, ¡°I have no need for this.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately said, ¡°Alright!¡± Dong Xi readily agreed and put the handfuls back into her storage pouch without the slightest hesitation. He was a Demon Lord, so he naturally would not be interested in such a small amount of spirit nts! Dong Xi, on the other hand, bluntly kept it! But before Dong Xi could be happy for a while, Su Cheng said, ¡°You¡¯ll help me refine a cauldron of pills.¡± Dong Xi sighed in her heart. She knew that the great snake would not let her off so easily. ¡°What medicinal pill?¡± asked Dong Xi. If the great snake¡¯s request was too high a grade, Dong Xi would definitely not agree. ¡°Three Purities Pill,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. ¡°Three Purities Pill?¡± Dong Xi frowned and asked. Don¡¯t even talk about refining it, Dong Xi had never even heard of the name of this pill! ¡°I don¡¯t have a pill recipe¡­¡± Dong Xi immediately asked, ¡°And what grade is this pill?¡± Su Cheng took out a nk jade slip and engraved the pill recipe into it. He then threw it to Dong Xi and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a tier 3 pill.¡± Chapter 201 - 201 Insufficient Abilities 201 Insufficient Abilities This pill recipe was also given to Su Cheng by Lady Rong. The token that Dong Xi had given to Lady Rong previously contained a wisp of Su Cheng¡¯s divine sense. Originally, it was impossible for Lady Rong to intimidate those demon beasts by herself. Dong Xi had just delivered the token to her, which was a timely help. Dong Xi took the jade slip Su Cheng threw over and pressed it against her forehead to feel the contents. Dong Xi said, ¡°tier-3, huh¡­ I don¡¯t think I¡¯m capable enough¡­¡± Now, Dong Xi had 30,000 points and so many spirit nts. There was no problem with the spirit nts being used to refine pills, but Dong Xi¡¯s own spiritual energy might not be enough. !! Dong Xi currently had no problem refining low-grade Spirit Restore Pill and so on¡­ She could even refine slightly higher grade Fasting Pills. However, this tier-3 pill required twice as much spiritual energy as the Wind Speed Pill. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Su Cheng said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you about to break through?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m indeed about to break through, but what makes you think that a little disciple like me can cross so many levels and refine pills that can only be refined above the tenth level of Qi Refinement?¡± Dong Xi said. Dong Xi felt that he had to exin. If this continued, Dong Xi would not be able to continue hiding his strength. Su Cheng smiled. He said coldly, ¡°You¡¯ve reached the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Are you ordinary?¡± Dong Xi frowned and stared at Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, ¡°How did you know?¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. He said with a meaningful tone, ¡°How do you think I know?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. He had almost forgotten that the snake¡¯s inner core was still in her Dantian. This traitor! Dong Xi had nourished it with spiritual energy for so long, yet this broken inner core still dared to help its original owner? Su Cheng saw Dong Xi¡¯s dissatisfaction. He sat up and saidzily, ¡°How about you make a deal with me?¡± ¡°What deal?¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment and asked. Su Cheng looked at the stone frog and said, ¡°If you help me refine pills, I can send you to the treasurednd if you want to go there next time.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. She asked, ¡°Just one cauldron of pills?¡± Su Cheng shook his head. ¡°No, the more the better. For every cauldron of pills, I will send you to that treasurend 10 times.¡± Dong Xi calcted for a moment and felt that this was still somewhat inappropriate. Dong Xi immediately bargained and said, ¡°Each cauldron of pills, and you¡¯ll send me there 20 times. My cultivation level is still not high enough, and I need to eat a lot of Spirit Restore Pill to make one. 10 times is a little too little.¡± ¡°Your cultivation will continue to rise, so at most 12 times,¡± Su Cheng said. When Dong Xi encountered such a situation, she would be very serious. She did not even notice the snake tail that was already at her feet. She said, ¡°There isn¡¯t even much effort on your part. All you do is throw a frog at me, right? 18 times, it¡¯s decided. If you don¡¯t agree, I won¡¯t refine the pills.¡± As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, the snake¡¯s tail wrapped around Dong Xi¡¯s ankle. Dong Xi instinctively activated the spiritual energy in her body, but the moment the fire spiritual energy produced a spark, the snake tail instantly extinguished it. Dong Xi was immediately picked up. Su Cheng touched the red bracelet on his wrist and said indifferently, ¡°15 times. If you dare to say anything else, I don¡¯t have that much patience.¡± Was this a threat or a bribe? Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng. After all, an arm could not win against a thigh, so she could only agree in the end. In the next two days, Dong Xi would go and exchange for a treasure that could provide light and illumination, and then enter that treasurednd. If she kept using fire spiritual energy, it would be a waste. Aftering out of the Immortal¡¯s cave, the sunlight outside was piercing, and Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were not used to it for a moment. Dong Xi raised her hand to block the sunlight. After she got used to it, she turned her head to look at the big willow tree not far away. Liu Qing and Songsong sat together on the tree branch. When Dong Xi walked over, Songsong and Liu Qing quickly came down from the tree. ¡°Little Xi, you¡¯re finally out,¡± Liu Qing said with concern. ¡°Did you get bullied?¡± Songsong looked at Dong Xi with a pair of big eyes and kept nodding. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she smiled. She had indeed bullied by the big snake, but she could not lose face. Dong Xi tried to save face by saying, ¡°Why would I be bullied? This is my Immortal¡¯s cave!¡± After Dong Xi finished speaking, she saw that Liu Qing still wanted to ask something. Dong Xi immediately continued, ¡°How long have I been in there?¡± Songsong did not know how to exin the time, so it could only look at Liu Qing. ¡°About 15 minutes,¡± answered Liu Qing after a moment of thought. Chapter 202 - 202 Unknown Origin 202 Unknown Origin When Dong Xi heard Liu Qing¡¯s words, she was stunned. One had to know that Dong Xi had dug for spirit nts for two nights in a row, and even haggled with Su Cheng for half a day, but it had only been 15 minutes? It seemed that the space and the outside world were two different worlds. Dong Xi was a little excited. It seemed that even if she went to dig for spirit nts, it would not dy her cultivation! It was just that the origin of this frog statue was somewhat unknown, and it even contained a small world inside it. Dong Xi looked at the statue in her hand and was no longer willing to throw it into the pool as andscape ornament. If such a good thing were to get lost, Dong Xi¡¯s heart would really ache. !! Dong Xi put the frog statue into her storage ring and then went to the Points Hall. Dong Xi used the points that she had just received to exchange for a treasure that could light up the night. After injecting some spiritual Qi into it, the treasure would light up and float in the air. The person from the Points Hall said, ¡°Junior Sister, this treasure only costs 100 points. At night, it can light up about three feet of the area. During the day, it can be restored in two hours. It depends on how you use it.¡± Three feet was a little small, but it was not too far off. This was Dong Xi¡¯s first time learning that exchanging for a treasure was actually so expensive. This was even the most useless illuminating treasure, yet it still cost 100 points. If it was not for Dong Xi suddenly obtaining those points, just this illuminating treasure alone would have caused Dong Xi to be bankrupt. ¡°Sure, I want this!¡± Dong Xi immediately said. When people had money, they had to think about the days when they did not have money. They could not squander it casually. ¡°Senior Brother Chu Fan, pack the treasures for Dong Xi. Dong Xi also requested some jade boxes that can be used for storing spirit nts and herbs.¡± Inparison, these jade boxes were really cheap. Dong Xi exchanged for ten jade boxes and an illuminating treasure, spending a total of 200 points. After exchanging for the things she needed, Dong Xi did not return to the cave abode directly. She turned around and went to the Sword Sect. She still had to go to the Sword Sect to practice her sword skills. The gravity of the sword stone array made it even faster to practice her sword skills. During this period of time, Dong Xi¡¯s body-tempering had also shown some results. She had also grown quite a bit, and she was now almost 1.5 meters tall. When Dong Xi was walking along the road, she was spotted by Xiong Ye. Xiong Ye started to greet her warmly from a distance. ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi!¡± Xiong Ye suddenly roared, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look at Dong Xi. After a moment of silence, the crowd immediately surrounded Dong Xi and began to talk. ¡°Junior Sister! Have you finished your training?¡± ¡°Long time no see, did Junior Sister encounter any danger?¡± ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, you¡¯ve grown quite a bit.¡± ¡°Many people have been attacked when they went out to train. Did Junior Sister encounter any danger?¡± ¡­ When Dong Xi heard everyone¡¯s words of concern, she felt very warm in her heart. ¡°I didn¡¯t encounter any attacks, but I heard that almost all our Senior Brothers and Sisters were attacked out there, ¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Was it a sneak attack from the Green Cloud Sect?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any evidence,¡± Xiong Ye said. ¡°Master Yijian has already gone to over to the sect to obstruct them at the gate. There¡¯s a high probability that it¡¯s the Green Cloud Sect.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s expression was somewhat unsightly as she said, ¡°It seems like what I heard in the Alchemy Sect was right. I heard that the sect had a total of six disciples who died.¡± The crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone¡¯s face was filled with anger. Those who had died were all fellow disciples, and they were ordinary disciples like everyone else. With the Green Cloud Sect¡¯s actions, they might be the next ones to die. Everyone was an ordinary disciple, so they naturally felt sad about the death of their fellow disciples. Dong Xi¡¯s heart was also very depressed. Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation level was still a little low, so she could not help her fellow disciples. Dong Xi clenched the wooden sword in her hand and said with a serious expression, ¡°Today, the Green Cloud Sect killed my fellow disciples. My cultivation level is too low. In the future, when my swordsmanship isplete, I will definitely beat up the Green Cloud Sect disciples whenever I see them!¡± As soon as she said that, everyone agreed. ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re going to snatch their opportunities!¡± ¡°Destroy their treasures!¡± ¡°Break the legs of those Green Cloud Sect bastards!¡± ¡­ If it was not for the agreement between the Righteous Alliance, the Sword Sect disciples would also want to kill a few Green Cloud Sect people to vent their anger. However, they could not do it without leaving evidence like the Green Cloud Sect. ¡°Senior Brothers, how many of our Sword Sect¡¯s people are injured?¡± Dong Xi continued. ¡°About 70 people were injured.¡± Xiong Ye pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Fortunately, the sect has abundant spiritual Qi, so they¡¯ve recovered very quickly.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she frowned. She asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t the sect distribute pills to everyone?¡± ¡°Yes, but some of the disciples are seriously injured, and the Alchemy Sect can¡¯t keep up with the supplies,¡± answered Xiong Ye. Dong Xi frowned. She took out the Spirit Restore Pill she had kept earlier from her storage bag and handed it to Xiong Ye. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, distribute these pills to the injured. I¡¯ll think of a way to get more pills for the rest.¡± Chapter 203 - 203 Come Get It 203 Come Get It Dong Xi took out the jade slip and immediately sent a message to Second Senior Brother. Song Qingfeng did not waste any time and only replied with three words. [Come get it.] Sure enough, Second Senior Brother was rich and generous. He was too straightforward. !! As for Eldest Senior Brother Liang Yan, Dong Xi did not have any trouble with him. After all, she still owed Liang Yan a lot. Dong Xi immediately used spatial bending and arrived at the entrance of Song Qingfeng¡¯s cave. The restriction of the cave dwelling slowly deactivated, and the door opened. It opened just wide enough for one person to pass through. After Dong Xi entered, the door quickly closed. Dong Xi had been here before. This time, she looked at the scenery of Song Qingfeng¡¯s cave. Although it was still as beautiful, it was not as shocking as thest time. Dong Xi stepped on the rainbow and arrived at a pavilion. She saw Song Qingfeng brewing tea in the pavilion. With smoke and water vapor swirling around, Song Qingfeng poured a cup of tea and motioned for Dong Xi to sit down. Song Qingfeng poured the tea and took out ten pill bottles from his storage ring. Dong Xi frowned when he saw Song Qingfeng take out only ten bottles. Dong Xi said in disbelief, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re only taking out ten bottles? This ins¡¯t enough for us to split, right?¡± Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi with a look of disdain. Dong Xi did not quite understand. Song Qingfeng said. ¡°The Spirit Restore Pill is such a trashy pill, so how can it be in my storage ring?¡± Dong Xi blinked her eyes and seemed to have thought of something. She immediately revealed a smile and said,¡±As expected, I still have toe here for your advice, Senior Brother! Senior Brother, what kind of pill is this?¡± Song Qingfeng proudly raised his chin and said, ¡°Universe Pill.¡± Dong Xi immediately spat out the tea she had just drunk. She then shouted, ¡°Senior Brother is awesome!¡± The Universe Pill was a seventh-grade pill. With just one pill, even if one¡¯s arm was broken, it could grow back. But more importantly, if a person with low cultivation consumed such a high-grade pill, they would easily explode and die. However, the Universe Pill would not have such effects. As long as the seriously injured Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of the sect ate this Universe Pill, they should be able to jump around immediately. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to be careful with these pills. However, Second Senior Brother had taken out ten bottles of them! Dong Xi had always known that her Second Senior Brother was a rich man, but she had never thought that he would be this rich. It hadpletely exceeded Dong Xi¡¯s opinion of him. Song Qingfeng looked at Qing Xi in disgust. He used a cleaning spell to clean the table, then poured away all the tea and made a new pot of tea. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Look at you. Okay, I¡¯ve already given you the pills. Hurry up and send them over. Don¡¯t waste Senior Brother¡¯s good tea.¡± Dong Xi was also thinking about the Sword Sect. Hearing Song Qingfeng¡¯s words, she stood up and bowed respectfully. ¡°Senior Brother, thank you!¡± Dong Xi said. After saying that, Dong Xi did not leave. Her master was still in seclusion, and there were some things that Dong Xi had to consult with his Senior Brother. ¡°Senior Brother, Junior Sister has something that she needs your help with,¡± said Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi and continued to make tea. He said, ¡°Eh? What else is there? Tell me about it.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face became serious as she solemnly said, ¡°Senior Brother, I want to see the Sect Master. Can you give me a rmendation?¡± ¡°Sect Master?¡± Song Qingfeng asked in surprise. ¡°You¡¯re just a Qi Refinement stage disciple, why are you going to see the Sect Master?¡± ¡°I want to buy something from the Sect Master,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡­ Song Qingfeng brought Dong Xi to the Drunken Peak, where the sect leader was. The disciple at the entrance went in to report. Not long after, the young disciple walked out and said, ¡°The Sect Master invites you in.¡± Wei Nan was surprised to see Song Qingfeng, and he was even more confused when he saw Dong Xi behind him. He had never seen this girl before. ¡°Song Qingfeng,¡± Wei Nan said, ¡°what brings you here today?¡± Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi, who was beside him, and said, ¡°My Junior Sister insisted oning to see you, so I had no choice but to bring her here.¡± Wei Nan looked at Dong Xi and thought for a few seconds before saying, ¡°You¡¯re Dong Xi?¡± Master Lingxu had five disciples in total. Two of them were female, and one of the female disciples was the young mistress of the Red me Bird n. It was said that she had already used the Marrow-cleansing Gold and now had a heavenly spirit root. This disciple here did not have a very strong fire spiritual aura, so she should be the other female disciple of Lingxu. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s me,¡± Dong Xi cupped her fists and respectfully said. A few days ago, Dong Xi had exined her experience to everyone, and it had spread throughout the sect. In the end, she had been epted by the Library Hall, and Wei Nan had even given her 30,000 points. Although he did not know why Lingxu would ept a disciple with three spirit roots, from the aspect of pill refining, this disciple was indeed a genius. Chapter 204 - 204 Soul-Amassing Lamp 204 Soul-Amassing Lamp Wei Nan looked at Dong Xi with a gentler expression. He said, ¡°Why have youe to find me?¡± Dong Xi respectfully cupped her fists and said, ¡°Sect Master, I would like to ask if our sect has a Soul-Amassing Lamp?¡± At that time, the giant snake had said that if anything happened to Dong Xi, he would go find the Soul-Amassing Lamp and save her. Could it be that the Soul-Amassing Lamp could also gather the souls of the dead Senior Brothers, and these Senior Brothers would have a little hope of survival? !! Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s question, Song Qingfeng was very surprised. Wei Nan was also very surprised. He said, ¡°What? The Soul-Amassing Lamp?¡± Dong Xi nodded, and Wei Nan continued, ¡°We don¡¯t have one in the sect, but the Masked Moon Sect does. What do you want it for?¡± Dong Xi was a little dejected. It would be really troublesome to borrow from other sects. ¡°Sect Master, this disciple is thinking that if we have the Soul-Amassing Lamp, we might be able to help those dead Senior Brothers and sisters by gathering their souls,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi also did not know that she had identally created a difficult problem for the Sect Master. The Soul-Amassing Lamp could indeed gather souls, but if souls could really be revived so easily, how could the Masked Moon Sect not use it after so many people had died? There was a huge price to pay for summoning a soul with the Soul-Amassing Lamp, and it might not even seed. Even if one were to seed by luck, it would be extremely troublesome for the soul to return to the physical body. Wei Nan sighed. ¡°You are very thoughtful, girl. However, the Soul-Amassing Lamp is the treasure of the Masked Moon Sect. If you want to borrow it, you have to be able to afford it.¡± Dong Xi knew that many people in the sect lost their lives every day. These Sect Masters and elders might have long been used to it. However, to Dong Xi, those who had been practicing swordsmanship with her two days ago and affectionately calling her ¡®Junior Sister¡¯ had lost their lives in the blink of an eye. Dong Xi¡¯s heart had fallen greatly. Dong Xi only wanted to do her part to save these people. If she tried her best, and she really could not save them, then at least, she would have a clear conscience. Dong Xi raised her head and said with a firm expression,¡±Sect Master, is the 30,000 points enough to exchange for amp?¡± Hearing this, Wei Nan had a whole new level of respect for Dong Xi. 30,000 points was nothing to the Sect Master and elders, but to the disciples, it was a huge sum of money. It was rare for Dong Xi to be unmoved by the money and maintain her heart of sincerity. Seeing that Wei Nan was still silent, Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°If it¡¯s not enough, I can make up for it by doing alchemy tasks in the future, is that okay?¡± Dong Xi was very nervous, and the way she looked at Wei Nan was very serious. Song Qingfeng thought Dong Xi was too na?ve. 30,000 points was indeed a lot, but how could it be easy to gather a soul and revive it? Just as Song Qingfeng thought the Sect Master would refuse, he saw the Sect Master think for a moment and then look at Dong Xi. The Sect Master said, ¡°Sure.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes immediately lit up and she bowed to the Sect Master. Dong Xi said excitedly, ¡°This disciple thanks Sect Master!¡± After leaving the Sect Master¡¯s cave, the sea of clouds in the mountains was dyed golden by the sun. Song Qingfeng¡¯s expression was a bit subtle. He nced at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Little Girl, is 30,000 points worth it?¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng. The sunlight shone on Dong Xi¡¯s body and seemed to cover her with ayer of gold. Dong Xiughed openly and said, ¡°These points were all given by the sect. If it wasn¡¯t for everyone¡¯s appreciation, how could I have 30,000 points? This can be considered as taking it from the people and using it for the people!¡± If it was not for everyone¡¯s admiration for Dong Xi, she would only have 30 points or so. Moreover, using these 30,000 points to exchange for sect disciple¡¯s favorability, this deal was a huge profit. Then, Dong Xi raised her eyebrows at Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi said, ¡°Respected Senior Brother, when you took out those Universe Pills, did Respected Senior Brother think it was worth it? Even for Respected Senior Brother, it was quite an expense, right?¡± Song Qingfeng was not used to hearing Dong Xi say ¡®Respected Senior Brother¡¯. He rubbed Dong Xi¡¯s hair and saw the seriousness on her face. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng angrily. At this moment, Song Qingfeng finally felt that she was being genuine. He smiled and said, ¡°Junior Sister, I think you should go and cultivate Buddhism. You might be able to be a Buddha.¡± Song Qingfeng had given her a lot of pills, but he had a lot of them, probably more than 10,000 of those pills. However, for Dong Xi¡¯s to give up 30,000 points, she was giving up everything. Not only that, people in the world of cultivators had very long lives, and their personalities were very cold. It was almost impossible to see people who could do their best for others. Song Qingfeng had lived for more than 100 years, and he had only met someone as stupid as Dong Xi. Chapter 205 - 205 The Difference Is Too Great 205 The Difference Is Too Great Although Song Qingfeng was kind, he could not evenpare to Dong Xi. Hearing Song Qingfeng¡¯s words, Dong Xi touched her own hair. After being reincarnated here, she was most proud of her hair. She would never cut it. In her previous life, Dong Xi often stayed upte to study, and her hairline grew higher and higher by the day. Although she stayed upte every day in this life as well, she did not lose as much hair. Dong Xi could not help but sigh in her heart. Immortal cultivation was too good! !! As soon as the two left, Wei Nan¡¯s eldest disciple looked at his master with some difficulty. The eldest disciple said, ¡°Master, how can 30,000 points be enough? Even if we have a good rtionship with the Masked Moon Sect, we will still need a lot of money, especially to gather a person¡¯s soul. It will consume a lot of spirit stones. It¡¯s really burning money.¡± If the eldest disciple could think of it, how could Wei Nan not know about it? Wei Nan said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. This little girl¡¯s actions have also given me a reminder. Previously, in the Backtracking Mirror, I saw that when Jiang Lu was ambushed, she burned her cultivation to split open a treasure that could change a person¡¯s appearance. Jiang Lu should know who the ambusher is.¡± Previously, Wei Nan and the others had been trying to find clues from the bodies of those who had died, but they had forgotten that people would not speak after death. ¡°Master, Junior Sister Jiang Lu didn¡¯t want to be humiliated, so she self-destructed,¡± the eldest disciple said. ¡°Even if we can gather her soul, there¡¯s no ce for her soul to rest.¡± Wei Nan looked at his eldest disciple and said, ¡°Let¡¯s see what Jiang Lu will choose. Will she reincarnate or be a ghost cultivator?¡± The eldest disciple nodded and said, ¡°Junior Sister Jiang Lu can be saved, but the other disciples will be in a dilemma.¡± Jiang Lu had the highest cultivation among the disciples who were ambushed this time. She could reach the Golden Core stage one step ahead. The rest of the disciples had very low cultivation, so there was no need to pay such a big price. Wei Nan thought for a moment and said, ¡°If it¡¯s really the Green Cloud Sect¡¯s doing, then the spirit stones used this time must be paid by the Green Cloud Sect! Also, didn¡¯t the Masked Moon Sect elder always want to take on the Backtrack Mirror? Tell them if they can use the Soul-Amassing Lamp to exchange for it.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi took the Universe Pill Song Qingfeng gave him and used spatial bending in front of him, covering a thousand feet with one step. It was Song Qingfeng¡¯s first time seeing Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique. Out of curiosity, he immediately followed. Song Qingfeng asked, ¡°Junior Sister, is this a movement technique?¡± Who taught you this?¡± Song Qingfeng thought to himself, ¡®I just gave Junior Sister so many Universe Pills, can she teach me the movement technique?¡± This movement technique covered a thousand feet with a single step, and it was not much more elegant than stepping on a fan! ¡°It¡¯s Li Li,¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°At that time, I taught him the method of fortune-telling, and Li Li taught me movement techniques. This movement technique is really useful.¡± ¡°Li Li from Destiny Valley?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Dong Xi nodded. Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi had been busy all this time, and he did not see her at all. In the end, she had learned so much in private, especially with the elder of Destiny Valley? Although Li Li¡¯s fortune-telling was not very urate, he was still a Nascent Soul stage cultivator! Li Li was able to teach his skills to Dong Xi just to learn some divination? What did Li Li stand to gain by doing this? Song Qingfeng asked with great interest, ¡°Is Li Li trying to poach you as a disciple?¡± ¡°No.¡± Dong Xi immediately shook her head. ¡°Li Li wanted me to be his master, but I refused.¡± Hearing this, Song Qingfeng almost fell off his fan. Li Li is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, right? He wanted the Qi Refinement stage Dong Xi as his master? How could Li Li have such an idea? Song Qingfeng was dazed for a moment, and then he immediately pulled away from Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng came back to his senses and immediately chased after her. He said, ¡°You have a divination calction method? I didn¡¯t hear you mention this before.¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually a method of arithmetic,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Next time, Senior Brother, if you¡¯re hesitating about something, juste and find me. I¡¯ll calcte your fortune for you.¡± It was impossible for Song Qingfeng to trust Dong Xi¡¯s little ability. ¡°Junior Sister,¡± Song Qingfeng said, ¡°I can see that your movement technique is not bad. Can I learn from you?¡± Dong Xi thought about the possibility of teaching Song Qingfeng, but she shook her head and said, ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m not willing to teach you, but you don¡¯t have the earth spiritual root.¡± Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± With that, Dong Xi left. Song Qingfeng did not chase after her this time. He sighed and waved his fan. ¡®Forget it, if it¡¯s meant to be, it¡¯ll be. Even if it¡¯s not, it can¡¯t be forced!¡¯ Chapter 206 - 206 Superior-Grade Universe Pill 206 Superior-Grade Universe Pill Dong Xi used spatial bending and quickly arrived at the Sword Sect. Dong Xi ced the Universe Pill on the table. The disciples of the Sword sect gathered around her. In front of everyone, Dong Xi opened one of the bottles. The rich pill fragrance spread out in an instant, and everyone could not help but swallow their saliva as they looked at the medicine bottle. !! Dong Xi poured out a pill. Dark red patterns interwove on it. Dong Xi raised her eyebrows. She did not expect that Second Senior Brother would give him a superior-grade Universe Pill. Dong Xi took the pill and showed it to everyone. Dong Xi said, ¡°This is the Universe Pill from Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng. Senior Brother Xiong Ye, you can share it with everyone.¡± Xiong Ye furrowed his brows. He seemed to have heard the name of this pill before. He mumbled, ¡°Universe Pill?¡± One of the disciples suddenly thought of something and shouted, ¡°Didn¡¯t the alchemy master give you this pill back then?¡± Upon hearing this disciple¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Back when Master Yijian injured his arm, he did not have any extra spirit stones to buy medicine, so he wanted to carry out a mission with his injury. Master Lingxu could not stand it and personally sent over a superior-grade Universe Pill. The benefit of the Universe Pill was that after eating it, one would grow new arm to rece the injured one, and it would not affect the use of spiritual energy. It was indeed worthy of the reputation of the Universe Pill. The fact that Song Qingfeng could casually send so many of these pills made everyone even more determined. Pill cultivators were too rich, but sword cultivators were too poor. Xiong Ye looked at the pills and thought for a moment. He then said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, 47 people from our Sword Sect have been seriously injured. Many people from Talisman Sect and Formation Sect have also been seriously injured. We should just keep 47 pills. We can¡¯t waste such a good pill. It¡¯s best to make the best use of it.¡± Dong Xi felt that Xiong Ye did not mean what he said. She nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave this matter to you, Senior Brother. I¡¯ve just joined the sect not long ago, so I don¡¯t know anyone else.¡± Xiong Ye nodded in agreement. Dong Xi said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll return to my cave residence first.¡± Xiong Ye was stunned for a moment. He then said, ¡°Junior Sister, where are you going? Aren¡¯t you here to practice your sword?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t be practicing today, ¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the alchemy room and cultivate in seclusion for a few days.¡± Xiong Ye looked at the pill in his hand, and then at his little Junior Sister, who had already walked far away. A thought suddenly appeared in Xiong Ye¡¯s mind: Junior Sister Dong Xi was a good person. But why was it so rare to find someone so good? When Dong Xi¡¯s figure could no longer be seen, Xiong Ye said, ¡°Everyone from the Sword Sect! If you see any good spirit herbs when you go out to gain experience in the future, bring them back for Junior Sister Dong Xi!¡± Everyone responded. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely bring it back for Junior Sister!¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that if we befriend an apothecary, we won¡¯t have to worry about pills in the future. Junior Sister Dong Xi has only joined the sect for a short time, but she¡¯s already so good to us. We have to be worthy of Dao Xin! also, Daoist Master Song Qingfeng, there are so many Universe Pills. We can¡¯t just take them for free. ¡°In the future, if you have any good spirit nts, send them directly to the Alchemy Sect to prevent the sect from taking advantage of the price difference.¡± ¡­ The crowd chimed in, each of them voicing their opinions, instantly creating a lively atmosphere. Dong Xi found an empty alchemy room and walked in. The Sect Master had promised to gather the souls of those dead Senior Brothers and Sisters. Dong Xi had used some points before, and now he was still short of more than 160 points to reach 30,000 points. If she used spirit nts to exchange for it, it would be a loss. It would be more appropriate to use the nts to make pills. As soon as Dong Xi went into seclusion, the news spread in the sect that she had used 30,000 points to gather the souls of the disciples killed by the Green Cloud Sect. Of the disciples who had died, five were disciples of the Sword Sect and thest one was a disciple of the Talisman Sect. When everyone heard this, their first thought was that Dong Xi had gone crazy. What did the other matters have to do with Dong Xi? Even those Buddhas would not be so kind. Dong Xi had almost finished refining all the medicinal herbs that she had. When she left the alchemy room again, ten days had passed. News of Dong Xi¡¯s 30,000 points had spread throughout the entire sect. Even those on the outside of the sect had heard of it. Dong Xi took out the jade slip. The first message came from Kong Xing. [Junior Sister Dong Xi, you really have fate with Buddha.] Dong Xi replied, [There¡¯s some fate, but it¡¯s not deep.] Kong Xing quickly replied, [Everyone knows that you¡¯re willing to spend 30,000 points to gather the souls of your Senior Brothers and Sisters. Our Master, Pu Rong, is willing to take you in as a disciple.] Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± She did not expect that even the Buddhists had heard of this. Didn¡¯t that mean that everyone knew about it? Dong Xi walked out of the pill room with a frown. Chapter 207 - 207 Looking at a Fool 207 Looking at a Fool As soon as Dong Xi left the room, everyone looked at her with an indescribable looks in their eyes. It was like they were looking at an idiot. At this time, the Senior Sister from the pharmacy also sent a voice message to Dong Xi. The Senior Sister said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, the disciples of the Sword Sect have sent many spirit nts and herbs to thank the Alchemy Sect for their help. None of us have helped. Should I send these spirit nts to you?¡± Dong Xiughed after hearing this. She sent a voice message, ¡°Senior Sister, this is a gift from the Sword Sect to the Alchemy Sect. It¡¯s not just for me. Keep it for everyone to use.¡± Senior Sister Yao Shi heard Dong Xi¡¯s voice message and immediately replied, ¡°In the future, the spirit nts brought back by the disciples of the Sword Sect will be sent to the Alchemy Sect. We will also be able to send some pills to the Sword Sect every month. I will report this to the managers first. We need to discuss this cooperation in detail with the managers.¡± Dong Xi felt that this was very good. It was mutually beneficial to both parties and they would improve together! Dong Xi sent all of her pills to the Points Hall and topped up her points to 30,000. Looking at the remaining 40 points, she was a little happy. It was fine if Dong Xi did not know about the Soul-Amassing Lamp, but now that she knew, she had to try it out. Otherwise, this matter would be a knot in her heart that she could not untie no matter what, and it might even affect her future cultivation. It was fine if she did not have any points. She could earn more in the future. Dong Xi did notck movement techniques or cultivation techniques. She could also refine medicinal pills, so he did not need many points on a daily basis. Taking a thousand steps back, if she could purchase the assembled souls, not only would she be able to save her Senior Brothers and Sisters in the sect, but she would also be able to increase her influence in the sect. Eight years, no, only seven years left. Seven yearster, even if Dong Rourou had stepped into the Dao, with so many Senior Brothers and Sisters backing Dong Xi up, she would likely be able to avoid such a miserable end. After returning to the cave, Dong Xi began to cultivate and break through at night. Everything went smoothly. Under the moonlight, the spiritual Qi rushed into Dong Xi¡¯s body crazily and gathered in her meridians. After a big cirction, it integrated into her Dantian. The color of the spiritual Qi in her Dantian also became deeper. Su Cheng, who was resting with his eyes closed in the cave, opened his eyes. This little girl¡¯s cultivation speed was really fast. Moreover, it was an innate spirit body without a water spirit root? How interesting. Dong Xi mobilized her spiritual Qi and circted it in her body. She opened her eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. She looked excited. She was at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage. In her previous life, even if the original body died, she would only be at the third level of Qi Refinement. The current Dong Xi¡¯s abilities were double that of the original body. Just as Dong Xi was happy, Su Cheng quietly appeared in front of Dong Xi. ¡°You¡¯ve already broken through?¡± Su Cheng asked. ¡°I understand.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll try to refine the medicinal pill as promised.¡± ¡°I heard that you¡¯re going to gather the souls of your fellow disciples?¡± Su Cheng asked after a moment of thought. ¡°You¡¯ve heard about it?¡± Dong Xi asked with astonishment. Su Cheng had always been unconcerned about the world, so she did not know where he heard this from. Su Cheng had a jade slip now, but he was not interested in most of the things on it. ¡°Yeah, I heard about it.¡± Su Cheng nodded. ¡°I saved you, didn¡¯t I?¡± Dong Xi said in a low voice. ¡°Is it so hard to believe that I¡¯m saving my fellow disciples now?¡± Su Cheng lowered his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. The moonlight shone on Su Cheng¡¯s hair and seemed to dye it with ayer of silver. His face revealed a touch of ridicule and he said, ¡°You? A Qi Refinement little girl is gathering souls to help them, how easy do you think it is to do that?¡± Of course, Dong Xi knew that it was not simple. After all, she had spent 30,000 points. Dong Xi was prepared for it, but when she heard Su Cheng¡¯s words, she swallowed her saliva. She suddenly felt that she had thought too simply of the matter. The Soul-Amassing Lamp was mostly used for cultivators whose souls had been scattered. If the souls were still present, then the Soul-Amassing Lamp would only be a guiding light. Finding the soul was the first step. After that, she had to know if the body of the dead person was damaged and whether it could still contain the soul. In addition, she also had to heal the fatal wounds on the bodies and eat Soul-Amassing Pills that could strengthen the soul. In the entire sect, only Lingxu could refine a tier 8 Soul-Amassing Pill. Moreover, after the soul entered the body, there might be a rejection reaction, and he would have to take a Soul-Stabilizing Pill. ¡­ Dong Xi was confused. This price was really a bit high, but¡­ ¡°The Sect Master agreed to help me,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng was stunned. After a while, he mumbled, ¡°You humans are really¡­ different.¡± Just as Su Cheng finished, he heard Dong Xi say, ¡°Big snake.¡± Su Cheng had long been used to Dong Xi calling him this. He turned to look at Dong Xi, only to see her raise her head and say with a serious expression, ¡°If I die one day, don¡¯t help me gather my soul.¡± Chapter 208 - 208 18 Years Later, Still a Good Person 208 18 Years Later, Still a Good Person Su Cheng was confused. Dong Xi continued, ¡°I¡¯m dead anyway. 18 yearster, I¡¯ll still be a good person.¡± Although Dong Xi said it seriously, seeing Su Cheng¡¯s eyes, Dong Xi lowered her head again. She said, ¡°The price of gathering souls is too high, I can¡¯t afford it.¡± Su Cheng smiled and looked much better. He said, ¡°If you work hard to be someone who can help me, I might consider not needing you topensate me.¡± Dong Xi was silent for a moment. What kind of person could help him? Help him heal? However, Su Cheng¡¯s injuries would recover sooner orter. Just as Dong Xi was puzzled, Su Cheng said, ¡°Go and refine the pills for me. Prove to me that you¡¯re useful.¡± Dong Xi stretched and did not reply to Su Cheng. She looked up at the moon, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s already veryte. We¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng felt the change in spiritual energy and knew that the cultivation maniac had entered a meditative state. He stood beside Dong Xi for a while, then returned to the cave. When the sky brightened, Dong Xi stopped her cultivation. She sensed some fluctuations in the restriction and immediately deactivated it. Her master¡¯s voice transmission talisman floated in. ¡°Little Xi, quicklye to my cave!¡± With just a short sentence, he had pushed back Dong Xi¡¯s pill refining matter once again. Dong Xi returned to the cave and exined it to Su Cheng. Then, she used earth bending to head to her master¡¯s cave. When Dong Xi was about to arrive, she shouted, ¡°Master! You¡¯ve finallye out of seclusion!¡± Before Master Lingxu could see Dong Xi, he heard her voice and a smile appeared on his face. Lingxu deactivated the restriction outside and let Dong Xi in. Lingxu¡¯s face was glowing red, it seemed like there was some good news. ¡°Little Xi! Master has seeded!¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She had thought that her master would give her a good scolding after finding out about the Soul-Amassing Pill, but it turned out that it was not because of that? When Master Lingxu saw Dong Xi¡¯s dazed expression, he mysteriously took out a porcin bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it into Dong Xi¡¯s hands. The bottle was dark green in color, and there was a stream of light flowing across its surface. With a single look, one could tell that it was a spirit tool. ¡°Little Xi, take this,¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°It¡¯s the first cauldron of pills I¡¯ve refined. I¡¯ll give it to you first.¡± Dong Xi held the bottle, which still had some of the pill¡¯s temperature. Dong Xi was extremely puzzled. What kind of medicinal pill could make her master so excited? Before Dong Xi could ask, Master Lingxu excitedly said, ¡°This is the recipe that I exchanged with Master Ling Jun from Destiny Valley. I¡¯ve been refining this recently and I finally seeded today. This is a Hidden Spirit Pill. It can hide a person¡¯s spirit root, and only show one spirit root.¡± Most people who cultivated had many spirit roots and were very heterogeneous. If there was only one and they focused on cultivation, their speed would be even faster. This medicinal pill was truly a good thing, but it did not affect Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation at all under the moonlight. It was indeed a waste for Dong Xi to use this medicinal pill. ¡°How long can thisst, master?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°One day. If it¡¯s a top-grade one, it¡¯llst about five days,¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a good item that must be brought for travels?¡± Dong Xi said after a moment of thought. If she wanted to conceal her identity while cultivating outside, she could have double protection of her identity by eating this and the Disguise Pill. Lingxu smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you this bottle first. You can y with it. Your Senior Sister only has one spirit root so this is of no use to her at all. There is no point giving this to her.¡± ¡°Alright, Master. When you refine a pill that can increase the spirit root next time, give it to Little Senior Sister first,¡± said Dong Xi. As the two of them were talking, Master Lingxu suddenly said, ¡°Little Xi, let me ask you. Did you go to the Sect Master and beg him to gather the souls of your dead disciples?¡± Dong Xi lowered her head. When Lingxu saw Dong Xi like this, he did not know what to do. Master Lingxu sighed and said helplessly, ¡°What do I do with you?!¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°Honored Master, if I hadn¡¯t casually mentioned that I needed to go out and gain experience while practicing my swordsmanship that day, those Senior Brothers and Sisters wouldn¡¯t have all gone out to do missions. They would have stayed in the Sword Sect. These days, I¡¯ve been thinking about this every day. I didn¡¯t kill them, but those people have lost their lives because of me.¡± Master Lingxu reached out and gently stroked Dong Xi¡¯s hair. He said, ¡°You¡¯re just a little girl. Don¡¯t me yourself for all the sins. Sword cultivators are supposed toprehend Sword Intent through fighting. It¡¯s inevitable for them to go out and gain experience.¡± Dong Xi did not say anything, and Master Lingxu continued, ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve already taken out 30,000 points, and the Sect Master has agreed to gather their souls. Don¡¯t feel so guilty.¡± Chapter 209 - 209 30,000 Points Aren’t Enough, Right? 209 30,000 Points Aren¡¯t Enough, Right? Dong Xi raised his head and looked at Master Lingxu. She said, ¡°Master, I didn¡¯t know that the gathering of souls was so troublesome. 30,000 points are not enough, right?¡± Master Lingxu smiled. ¡°The Sect Master is an old fox. Since he promised you, it¡¯s because you¡¯re very sincere. He probably has other ns. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± After being consoled by Master Lingxu, Dong Xi felt much better. At this moment, Master Lingxu suddenly raised his head and looked outside. He revealed a smile and said, ¡°There¡¯s news. Your Master Yijian has arrived.¡± Dong Xi immediately turned her head and saw Master Yijian carrying a sword on his back. He walked in with a murderous aura. Dong Xi felt herself being affected. Her eyes turned red and her Qi and blood boiled. She felt the urge to pick a fight with someone. Master Lingxu immediately cast a protective shield over Dong Xi and then looked at Master Yijian. Lingxu said, ¡°Yijian! Quickly retract your killing intent. Why don¡¯t you think about what cultivation level your disciple is at?¡± Daoist Yijian and the elders of the Green Cloud Sect took turns to fight. Yijian did not show any fear, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became. It was not until two days ago when the Sect Master sent someone over that Master Yijian finally stopped. If Master Yijian forgot about his killing intent, it would easily affect disciples with lower cultivation. This little disciple¡¯s cultivation level is¡­ Eh? ¡°You¡¯re already at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage?¡± Daoist Yijian asked in shock. Dong Xi¡¯s expression slowly turned for the better. When he heard Daoist Yijian¡¯s words, she immediately nodded. Dong Xi said, ¡°I just broke throughst night, and was about to tell the two masters.¡± Master Yijian raised his head to look at Master lingxu, who then said, ¡°What is Dong Xi¡¯s physique? Why is your cultivation so fast?¡± Daoist Yijian did not know about Dong Xi¡¯s constitution, so he did not hide anything when he heard Daoist Yijian¡¯s question. Perhaps Daoist Yijian had heard about it before. ¡°Innate Moon Spirit Body, no water spirit root yet,¡± Master Lingxu replied. Master Yijian¡¯s forehead was filled with question marks. He said, ¡°What? No water spirit root? Or no Innate Moon Spirit Body?¡± To be honest, Master Yijian was a swordsman and he had the characteristics of a swordsman. He did not care about anything other than the sword. There were many innate spirit bodies. Yijian only knew about the Innate Sword Body, which was a genius in swordsmanship. As for the rest¡­ Yijian had never heard of them before. ¡°Can¡¯t she have an Innate Moonlight Body without a water spirit root?¡± asked Master Yijian, puzzled. Master Yijian¡¯s question was something Dong Xi had always wanted to ask. Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°Can¡¯t I be an Innate Moonlight Body without a water spirit root? ¡± Looking at the two people in front of him, Master Lingxu felt a little helpless. He said, ¡°I¡¯ve read the relevant books. As long as one is an Innate Moonlight Body, they must have a water spirit root.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, how do you know that Little Xi isn¡¯t an Innate Moonlight Body?¡± Master Yijian asked. Master Lingxu waved his hand, and a stone table with a teapot and teacups appeared in front of him. He then asked Yijian to sit down and talk. Lingxu poured a cup of tea for Yijian, and he continued, ¡°I¡¯m not sure either, but the only thing different about Little Xi is her spirit roots. The rest of her body is the same as the Innate Moonlight Body mentioned in the books. I don¡¯t know why either.¡± Dong Xi stood beside the two of them. Hearing their conversation, Dong Xi could not help but say, ¡°Master, do you think my spirit root has mutated?¡± Dazed for a moment, Master Lingxu came back to his senses and said, ¡°I know that there are mutated lightning spirit roots, but this is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone with a mixed spiritual root like you.¡± ¡°Master, I still think that my triple spirit roots are not bad,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°I have many attributes and it won¡¯t affect my cultivation.¡± ¡°Little Xi¡¯s right,¡± Master Yijian nodded. we cultivators all know that as long as it doesn¡¯t dy our cultivation, it¡¯s good to have more spirit roots. In ancient times, spiritual energy was more abundant than it was now, and people cultivated faster. In the same cultivation realm, the more spirit roots one had, the stronger one would be. However, it was not as good as the ancient times, and it was rare to see cultivators with multiple spirit roots Ascend. As Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation gradually increased, she could also go out and travel, which would increase her knowledge. Perhaps Dong Xi would be able to solve her own mystery? The three of them decided to put this matter aside for the time being. Master Lingxu looked at master Yijian and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been at the gates of the Green Cloud Sect for so long, have you vented the anger in your heart?¡± Daoist Yijian shook his head. ¡°No. Senior Brother Sect Master warned me not to kill. How could I vent my anger? I only cut off one of their arms.¡± Chapter 210 - 210 Suffer a Little 210 Suffer a Little When Master Lingxu heard this, he found it a little funny. The sword sect was just as everyone had said, they were the most protective of their sect. A broken arm might grow back, but the Sword Intent on the wound would make these people suffer. After saying this, Yijian looked at Dong Xi with aplicated expression. After pondering for a long time, Yijian finally said, ¡°Little Xi, a schr who has been away for three days must be treated with new eyes.¡± Dong Xi touched her hair and lowered her head without saying anything. ¡°What happened?¡± Instead, it was Lingxu who asked curiously, ¡°With your personality, it¡¯s impossible for you to return so quickly. What happened?¡± ¡°The Sect Master sent someone to the Green Cloud Sect,¡± Yijian said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what he said, but he asked me toe back with him.¡± ¡­ Su Cheng was sitting on the bed alone. He suddenly opened his eyes and appeared beside a cliff outside the sect. There was a bare stone on the cliff, and the spirit force wind seemed to blow the stone to the bottom of the valley. Su Cheng casually cast a restriction and said, ¡°Come out.¡± Three alluring figures slowly appeared. If Dong Xi was here, he would definitely be able to recognize who the leader was. Lady Rong bowed politely and said, ¡°Demon Lord.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s face was calm and he did not seem to be angry. He said, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lady Rong frowned and looked around. She said worriedly, ¡°I¡¯m really worried. This is the Ningtian Sect¡¯s territory after all. We can¡¯t even enter¡­ Demon Lord, how are your injuries? Did the human girl give you the Insect Queen?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. ¡°Just help me look after that ce. You don¡¯t need to ask about anything else.¡± Lady Rong raised her head and looked at Su Cheng with a little anxiety in her eyes. She said, ¡°Demon Lord, when can you return?¡± Su Cheng looked at Lady Rong¡¯s expression and knew that something was wrong. He said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? what happened?¡± Lady Rong gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Ever since you left, some demonic beasts have been disobedient. They have been provoking and causing trouble all day long. I only managed to calm them down after using your token. However, a few days ago, the prey has grown a little bigger¡­¡± Lady Rong¡¯s voice was a little uneasy. Su Cheng¡¯s expression was calm and did not seem to be in a hurry. He said, ¡°Did you use the sealing method I taught you?¡± Lady Rong immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ve used all of them. They¡¯re still fine for the time being, but I¡¯m really worried¡­¡± Su Cheng immediately interrupted her and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Send more people to guard it. We can¡¯t rx. I¡¯ll be back in a few days.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lady Rong immediately replied. Su Cheng disappeared again. Only then did Lady Rong look at the two people who came with her. Lady Rong said, ¡°Xiao Hong, Xiao Lu, you guys stay here and wait to receive the Demon Lord.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu replied simultaneously. Outside Ningtian Sect¡¯s gate, it was quiet again. Dong Xi left Master Lingxu¡¯s ce and went to the alchemy room. When everyone saw Dong Xi, they were all very surprised. Didn¡¯t he juste out of seclusion not long ago? Along the way, many disciples greeted Dong Xi. ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, you¡¯vee to concoct pills again so quickly?¡± ¡°Yeah, I have nothing to do,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. These words almost made them cry! Most people would scroll through jade slips or go to the sect¡¯s arena to watch the show when they were free, but this Dong Xi came over to refine pills in her free time? Moreover, it was said that Dong Xi could now perfectly concoct second-grade medicinal pills. Her improvement was godly! Dong Xi was thinking about the prescription in her heart. She had already exchanged the medicinal herbs she needed in the pharmacy just now. Now, she would refine ten sets of medicinal pills to practice. If she could seed, he would continue to refine it. If he failed, he was afraid that he would have to dy his ns with the great snake for a period of time. Moreover, Dong Xi had been secretly trying to throw the stone frog statue into the sky and catch it when it fell. She had tried to enter that space, but there had been no reaction. Dong Xi suspected that it might not work if she threw it herself, so she gave the statue to Liu Qing and Songsong to throw, but it was still useless. Dong Xi had no choice but to ept the current situation. If she wanted to enter that space, she could only use the great snake. Perhaps this had something to do with the great snake¡¯s spatial attribute. Due to this, she must refine the pills requested by the big snake. If you wanted to ask for help, you had to provide value first, right? Dong Xi found a pill room in the corner. After entering, Dong Xi activated the restriction of the pill room. This way, even if Dong Xi¡¯s cauldron exploded, it would be fine. Even if the house was destroyed, it would not affect the others. Dong Xi sat in front of the pill cauldron. She used a cleaning spell. Then, she took out the incense burner and lit an incense stick. Chapter 211 - 211 Bad Person Mentality? 211 Bad Person Mentality? After Dong Xi lit the incense, she thought about whether she should perform a divination to see how the sess rate of the pill refinement was today. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi gave up. If the result of the calction was not ideal, then it would be bad for her mentality, right? Dong Xi took out a spirit nt from her storage ring. No matter what the sess rate was, she had to try it first. The difficulty of refining third-grade pill was not only the fusion in theter stage. Even the first step of extracting the essence was extremely difficult. Moreover, the spirit nts were also higher in quality than the first and second grades she had refined before, so the fire spiritual energy required was naturally much higher. Dong Xi exerted the earth fire in the alchemy room to the extreme and used her own fire spiritual Qi to harmonize it. The quality of Dong Xi¡¯s fire spiritual energy was extremely high. Even so, the first step of extraction consumed a lot of her spiritual energy. Dong Xi ate the Spirit Restore Pill and began to try to fuse the extracted medicinal liquid. However, these medicinal liquids seemed to have a mind of their own. Dong Xi had just fused one side, and the other side separated by itself. As for the fusion, the separation began. Beads of sweat began to appear on Dong Xi¡¯s forehead. Her spiritual Qi was also about to be exhausted, so he had no choice but to divert his attention and take out the Spirit Restore Pill. At this time, the extracted medicinal liquid also broke through the control of spiritual energy, and a crisp collision sound came from the pill furnace. Dong Xi was shocked. She immediately swallowed the Spirit Restore Pill and stood up to look at the pill furnace in front of her. Upon a closer look, he realized that the pill furnace was still fine, without any cracks. Dong Xi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the pill furnace was fine. Otherwise, Dong Xi would definitely look for Su Cheng and force him to pay for another furnace! Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual power hit the lid of the furnace, and the lid was destroyed. Dong Xi sighed softly. Her heart ached for the spirit herbs, but even more so for the pill furnace. She raised her hand and cast a cleaning spell to clean up the pill furnace. There were no impurities left, and she continued to try. The study of human experience was very impressive. Many things were much easier to do after having been done once. This time, Dong Xi removed all the impurities in the spirit nts as usual, but just like before, there were some problems at the fusion step. Dong Xi tried all kinds of fusion techniques. She knew that in such a tug-of-war, his spirit Qi would be exhausted very quickly. If she ran out of spiritual energy, she could eat the Spirit Restore Pill, but what if she ran out of physical strength? This time, the fusion failed again. After Dong Xi ate the Spirit Restore Pill, she copsed on the floor, her body in a mess. What was the reason? Did she really have to use spiritual energy to fuse them? Dong Xi pondered for a long time before sitting up and continuing to try. However, she failed every time. On the sixth time, Dong Xi made a bold attempt and extracted the fire spiritual Qi that originally wrapped the medicinal liquid, relying on the earth fire to maintain the heat. After that, she converted all of her spiritual power into wood spiritual Qi. Dong Xi began to form hand seals and injected them into the pill furnace. With the wood spiritual energy as a medium, the spiritual liquid finally began to merge. This continued for two hours, and the spiritual liquid waspletely fused. In the red alchemy furnace, a dark shadow could be faintly seen hanging in the air. Dong Xi was immediately overjoyed and began to try out thest step. Forming the pill was a very important part of pill refining, and it consumed a lot of spiritual power. Dong Xi had already made preparations, but she was still almost drained of all the spiritual Qi in her body. When Dong Xi thought of how all her spirit Qi had been consumed and he had been poisoned, he immediately retracted his hand. These medicinal pills could be considered useless, but they were still at the stage of pill formation, so they still had some medicinal properties. Dong Xi thought about it and decided to keep all these useless medicinal pills. This time, Dong Xi fell into deep thought. After his previous attempts, Dong Xi also knew. Even if she was already at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, she did not have enough spiritual energy to make pills that were above the tenth level of Qi Refinement. If she took the Spirit Restore Pill as she performed refinement, she would inevitably be distracted. It would be great if there was someone to help feed her the pills. Just as Dong Xi had such a thought, a light shed in her eyes as she suddenly had an idea. After cleaning up the pill furnace, she took out the spirit nts again, with a bottle of Spirit Restore Pill in her mouth. When she ran out of spiritual Qi, Dong Xi could directly eat one, and she would not have to be distracted. When the sky turned dark, Dong Xi returned to her cave abode in exhaustion. Dong Xi used all of his strength to open the stone door and then walked into the cave abode. As soon as she entered, her legs were weak and she knelt on the ground. Su Cheng was startled by Dong Xi¡¯s movements. He immediately opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xi with a puzzled look. What¡¯s wrong with this little girl? ¡°It isn¡¯t a special day or a festival,¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. ¡°Why are you suddenly kneeling?¡± Chapter 212 - 212 Powerless 212 Powerless Dong Xi did not struggle and justy on the floor. ¡°I¡¯m powerless,¡± Dong Xi said. Seeing Dong Xi in such a sorry state, Su Cheng wanted to ask what she had done, but before he could say anything, he saw Dong Xi take out a bottle of pills from her storage ring and throw it over. ¡°Here, these are your medicinal pills,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng took the bottle, opened the cork, and sniffed it. He was satisfied. The medicine bottle in Su Cheng¡¯s hand disappeared into thin air. He said, ¡°You actually managed to refine it so quickly? It seems that I¡¯ve underestimated your strength.¡± Dong Xi did not say a word. Su Cheng continued, ¡°Although the quality of your pill is a littlecking, I have forgiven you. What we agreed on before is still valid. Now, are you going to that treasurend?¡± Dong Xi thought to herself, ¡®Can¡¯t he see that I¡¯m already so tired? What can I do after sending me in? This snake is the reincarnation of an idiot, right?¡¯ Dong Xi stared straight at Su Cheng for a long time before tactfully saying, ¡°I¡¯m a little tired.¡± Unexpectedly, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise. He said, ¡°What? Apetitive queen like you can get tired?¡± Dong Xi was silent for a moment. After a long time, Dong Xi said with hidden bitterness, ¡°It¡¯s all because of you, right? I¡¯ve never seen anyone so crazy as to force someone else to refine pills so much higher than their level. In order to refine these pills, I ate an entire bottle of Spirit Restore Pills!¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi with a rare look of appreciation. He said, ¡°As expected, it¡¯s better for humans when someone is forcing them to do something. Why don¡¯t you try to refine a fourth-grade pill tomorrow?¡± Dong Xi rolled her eyes and did not want to continue talking to such a person. Dong Xi stood up and walked out. It was already veryte, and the moon was hanging in the sky. It was just the right time to cultivate. But after Dong Xi took a few steps, she heard Su Cheng say again, ¡°When¡¯s the next time you¡¯re going to refine pills?¡± Dong Xi looked tired, but what did this have to do with Su Cheng? Su Cheng was determined to get those pills. Dong Xi stopped in her tracks. She wanted to say next month, but after thinking for a moment, she felt that something was wrong. A smile appeared on his face. Dong Xi said, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when we¡¯re happy.¡± With that, Dong Xi pushed open the stone door and left. Who knew when she would be happy? At that time, Dong Xi could be in a bad mood because of the hot weather or Su Cheng¡¯s cold face. Who could control that? Su Cheng looked at the closed stone door and fell into deep thought. Happy? What would make that little girl happy? Su Cheng thought for a long time but still could not figure it out. He took out themunication jade slip Dong Xi gave him and sent an anonymous message. This was the first time in a thousand years. [How can I make a little girl happy?] After Su Cheng sent it out, he did noot have much hope. In Su Cheng¡¯s eyes, no one in the Immortal cultivation world would care about these things, right? However, there were still many people who meddled in other people¡¯s business. Not long after Su Cheng¡¯s message was sent out, it resonated with many people. [Fellow Daoist, do you have a child at home? How old is the little girl? A little girl is even more difficult to deal with than a demon beast.] [Not only are they difficult to deal with, but the cost is also very high. Just the marrow cleansing alone has cost me half of my assets, but I¡¯m still not willing to do it. Immortal master has given me four sets of spirit nts, and there are still three sets that I haven¡¯t used yet. I¡¯m afraid this money has been spent in vain.] [The Fellow Daoist above is right. My little girl is the same. Every time I coax her, I have to spend resources to make her happy.] ¡­ Su Cheng read each message seriously and had some thoughts in his mind. Compared to these little girls, the one in the courtyard did not seem too hard to please. After checking more than a dozen messages, someone finally answered the question. [When little girls throw tantrums, they usuallye and go quickly. Fellow Daoist, you can prepare something that the little girl usually like. This way, the little girl will be happy faster.] [I have a lot of experience in this area. Every time my little girl gets angry, I will take her out to y. She will be fine after she has had enough fun.] ¡­ Su Cheng noted down all their ideas. The easiest one was to buy something that the girl liked and spirit fruits. Su Cheng held the spirit fruit in his hand and thought for a moment. Su Cheng slowly disappeared, and no one in the courtyard noticed. Dong Xi sat cross-legged on the futon, feeling the rich spiritual Qi in the surroundings. Suddenly, an idea came to her. Had her spirit root value also increased? In the beginning, Dong Xi thought that there was a problem with the testing spirit stone. However, after three consecutive tests, the value of her spirit root had also increased three times. Moreover, the speed of her cultivation could not be fake. Chapter 213 - 213 A Bag of Spirit Fruits 213 A Bag of Spirit Fruits Even a slight difference in spirit root value would make a difference. Moreover, Dong Xi¡¯s current spirit root value had already increased by five pointspared to the beginning. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and felt that it would be best to find her teacher and test her spirit root value again. Dong Xi cultivated until the moon fell before opening her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, a snake tail appeared in front of Dong Xi. She was stunned. She looked up from the ck snake¡¯s tail and saw ck clothes. !! There were many spirit fruits in the pockets of his clothes. There were many spirit fruits that Dong Xi, this little country bumpkin, had never seen before. Su Cheng grew up in the jungle, so he was very clear about what spirit fruits could and could not be eaten. Dong Xi did not know what Su Cheng meant. Su Cheng loosened his hand, and all the fruits fell into Dong Xi¡¯s arms. ¡°Are you happy?¡± Su Cheng asked. Su Cheng¡¯s voice was cold, which was a big contrast to his current behavior. Dong Xi thought, ¡®Happy? What was there to be happy about?¡¯ Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi was frowning and seemed a little unhappy. Su Cheng silently crossed out the spirit fruit suggestion and thought about buying something else one day. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng¡¯s disappearance in confusion. She then looked at the fruit in his arms and picked up a fruit that looked good. The sweet taste spread in her mouth in an instant. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. She put the fruit into her storage ring and took out a few more, giving them to Liu Qing and Songsong to eat together. Su Cheng, who was in the cave, saw this scene and could not help but frown. As expected, the little girl was still not happy. Otherwise, she would not have given these fruits to others. Dong Xi did not think much about Su Cheng¡¯s abnormal behavior. She went straight to the Sword Sect and practiced her sword. She even took a bath in the Sword Sect. Now, Dong Xi¡¯s body was much stronger than before, and she could cultivate the big snake¡¯s body-tempering cultivation technique. Dong Xi did not start off with body cultivation. Instead, she first studied the entire cultivation technique. She could not cultivate blindly. She had to choose carefully. If it was not suitable, no matter how good the cultivation technique was, it would be useless. Before practicing a cultivation technique, the first thing was to acknowledge the cultivation technique in one¡¯s hands from the bottom of one¡¯s heart. Dong Xi did not expect this cultivation technique to start from breathing. The author of this book believed that the internal organs of the human body were especially fragile. Breathing and expiration could absorb the essence of heaven and earth to temper the five internal organs. After the five internal organs werepletely tempered, the bones and muscles would be tempered, and finally, the skin would be tempered. Moreover, she could also rely on external objects to temper her body. For example, she could use the power of fire and lightning to strengthen her body. It was because of the so-called power of fire in the book that Dong Xi directly went to the alchemy room to cultivate. The rest of the people knew that Dong Xi was verypetitive, so they were pressured to start refining pills. But this time, no one had expected that Dong Xi wasn¡¯t here to refine pills at all, but to refine her body. Turning the earth fire to the maximum, Dong Xi did not use any spiritual power to protect herself. Under such high temperature, the pores on Dong Xi¡¯s body also opened up. No matter what, the fire spiritual Qi here was rich. To cultivators with fire spiritual roots, it would be twice the result with half the effort. Almost all of the alchemy sect disciples had fire spiritual roots. It was also because of this that the alchemy room became the alchemy sect disciples¡¯ favorite ce. Just like before, Dong Xi was sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, feeling the spiritual Qi. However, with Dong Xi¡¯s constitution, she could only feel a little spiritual Qi during the day. Fortunately, Dong Xi¡¯s body was still at the initial stage of body refining. Otherwise, if she had absorbed too much fire spiritual Qi at the beginning, her body would not be able to bear it. This time, the spiritual Qi absorbed by Dong Xi did not enter her Dantian. Instead, it was slowly absorbed into her lungs. The moment the spiritual Qi entered, Dong Xi¡¯s face flushed red, and white smoke came out of her nostrils. Dong Xi only had one thought right now. ¡®It was too hot!¡¯ When all the spiritual Qi had been absorbed, Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. After her body temperature hadpletely dropped, Dong Xi could continue to try. In one day, Dong Xi tried a total of five times. Then, while the alchemy room was still open, she quickly refined a furnace of pills and earned back the points she had used the alchemy room. When Dong Xi was taking out the pill furnace, she inadvertently nced at her hand. Huh? Why did her hands seem much whiter and more delicate? Dong Xi recalled that she had previously read in a popr science book on alchemy that the lungs were mainly made up of skin and hair. Although it was extremely ufortable to fuse fire spiritual energy into it, it was greatly beneficial to the body. Dong Xi guessed that the female cultivators in the world of cultivators definitely did not know about this benefit. Otherwise, all the female cultivators would choose to refine their bodies. Dong Xi did not care much about this. It was not that Dong Xi did not like beauty, but her body was less than 12 years old, and her skin was in the best condition. Chapter 214 - 214 Exiting Seclusion 214 Exiting Seclusion Dong Xi collected her thoughts and finished refining a furnace of medicinal pills. Her time was also up, and she had to exit the alchemy room. Dong Xi walked out of the alchemy room and took out amunication jade slip. On it was a message from Ke Xin. [Sister! I¡¯ve broken through! Let¡¯s go out!] Seeing Ke Xin¡¯s message, even if Dong Xi was not by her side, Dong Xi could imagine that Ke Xin must be very happy. This time, Ke Xin really went into seclusion for five months. Ke Xin loved to y by nature, so she did not use hermunication jade slip even once for five whole months. Although she had been in seclusion for a long time, she had finally broken through. Her double spirit root value did not break through 80, but she managed to break through to the third level of the Qi refinement stage in two years. This was enough to show Ke Xin¡¯s hard work. Dong Xi immediately sent a voice message to Ke Xin, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to the county to celebrate with you?¡± Cultivation also had to be both tight and loose. Ke Xin had been in seclusion for such a long time, it was time for her to go out for a walk. Ke Xin immediately replied with a voice message, ¡°Okay!¡± The two of them set a time. The next morning, Dong Xi stopped cultivating. She did not cultivate her body or the sword, nor did she practice alchemy. She changed her clothes and rode on little green leaf to the outer gate to pick Ke Xin up. Ke Xin saw the familiar little green leaf fly over. Dong Xi made way for her and Ke Xin immediately jumped on it. Ke Xin said, ¡°Little Xi, I¡¯ve broken through. I should be able to refine pills now! You told me to store all the spirit herbs I brought, and I¡¯ve stored them all!¡± Speaking of this, Ke Xin had to admit that this sister of hers had great foresight. Ke Xin knew a few people in the outer sect. Most of them were in a hurry to refine pills the moment they broke through to the second level. The ten portions of spirit nts that they had every month were all wasted. ¡°In two days,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°go to the alchemy room and cultivate in seclusion for a few days. I think you¡¯ll be able to do it very soon.¡± Ke Xin said, ¡°I don¡¯t need two days, I¡¯ll go immediately tomorrow! Also, I¡¯ve stayed up all night today to read the experience you¡¯ve taught me in the alchemy room. I¡¯m sure it¡¯ll be of use tomorrow.¡± Dong Xi was very pleased to see Ke Xin working so hard. ¡°If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, just ask me. I¡¯ll definitely tell you everything I know,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal then,¡± Ke Xin nodded. The two of them happily ran to the county town, wanting to have a good meal to celebrate. However, when they passed by a young Immortal¡¯s shop, Dong Xi seemed to see a very familiar back. Dong Xi could not tell who it was for a moment. Perhaps she was mistaken, so she did not pay much attention. ¡­ It was Su Cheng¡¯s first time in a ce like this, and there were many little toys inside. There were ducks that could spray water, and there was a water-elemental formation in the ducks. There was also a zipline device that contained a wind-elemental formation, which could train the children¡¯s eyesight. Su Cheng raised his hand and touched the hanging tiger. The tiger opened its eyes and roared. Su Cheng had been disinterested the whole time, his expression calm. The waiter looked at Su Cheng. Although his appearance had changed a little, Su Cheng¡¯s strong aura was still there, so the waiter did not dare to act rashly. Seeing that Su Cheng had been shopping for a long time and still had some doubts on his face, the waiter immediately smiled and said, ¡°Immortal Master, is this your first time being a father?¡± Su Cheng, ¡°¡­¡± What? A father? Su Cheng was still young and did not have a partner. How did he be a father? The change in Su Cheng¡¯s expression was undetectable, and the waiter guessed it right. He said, ¡°Immortal Master, the goldfish bubbles there are selling very well. There is a water-type formation that can create bubbles. The bubbles canst for more than 15 minutes¡­¡± ¡°Give me one,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. The waiter saw that Su Cheng immediately asked for it, and his smile became even wider. The waiter continued, ¡°And this is a psychedelic ghost formation. It¡¯s used to deal with disobedient children and is also very popr. Of course, it¡¯s not that your children are disobedient. It¡¯s just that after you buy this, not only can children y with it, adults can also encourage adults to y with children. It can promote parent-child rtionships.¡± Hearing this, Su Cheng thought of Dong Xi, this little girl. She was indeed disobedient. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll take that one too.¡± The waiter continued, ¡°This is called ¡®dance upon hearing the rooster¡¯. It¡¯s used to urge children to cultivate. If the child only wants to y and doesn¡¯t want to cultivate, this rooster will chase after him and peck at his buttocks. Of course, it won¡¯t hurt him much.¡± This was good. Su Cheng nodded and said, ¡°Not bad, get one too.¡± ¡­ Su Cheng bought a lot of things without even realizing it. He bought so many things that the waiter ran out of items to rmend to him. Su Cheng said, ¡°I¡¯ll take these first to settle the score.¡± The waiter was overjoyed. It was not easy for mortals like them to survive in the world of cultivators. Today¡¯s big order would allow the waiter to livefortably for two to three years. Chapter 215 - 215 God of Wealth 215 God of Wealth Thinking of this, the waiter smiled brightly and said, ¡°Immortal master, these will cost 50 upper spirit stones in total.¡± Su Cheng waved his hand, and the items on the table disappeared. The waiter was shocked and immediately looked at the Immortal Master in front of him. He saw the Immortal Master casually throw a spirit stone and then disappear. He just said coldly, ¡°You can keed the change.¡± The waiter caught the spirit stone. It was heavy. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was a top-quality spirit stone! And the Master did not even want the change? The waiter looked around and found that the Immortal Master had already left. The waiter was overjoyed. He had met a powerful being this time. He did not know which powerful being it was or which person he was reincarnated into. He was actually able to reincarnate into this Immortal Master¡¯s family in such a short time. Not only was he rich, but he was also so patient to pick out a toy personally. He was a considerate person. The waiter was extremely envious. Some of these people had already won the world from the moment they were born. Dong Xi, who was standing at the entrance of the shop, could not help but sneeze. The child that the waiter was envious of was right there. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Little Xi, are you alright? Did you catch a cold? That¡¯s impossible, isn¡¯t your fire spiritual root still alright?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, my nose was just a little itchy. I¡¯ll bring you to eat something good. Last time I came here with Senior Brother Rui Ming, we found a shop. The boss has ice spirit root, and the spirit fruit smoothie he makes is very delicious!¡± When Dong Xi went there thest time, she was so excited that she thought she had met someone who had alsoe through the book. She secretly exchanged secret signals with the boss. Dong Xi said, ¡°Pce Jade Nectar Wine?¡± Unexpectedly, the boss red at Dong Xi and scolded, ¡°This little girl, she wants to drink at such a young age? Where is your Master?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi was a little disappointed. However, she was not that disappointed. After all, the smoothie was really delicious. Ke Xin had rarely heard Dong Xi praise something like this. Previously, Dong Xi had used such a tone to talk about sword practice. ¡°Really?¡± Ke Xin asked. ¡°Was it really super delicious? I have to try!¡± In Dong Xi¡¯s previous life, her health had not been very good and she had rarely eaten cold things, but she was no longer afraid in this life. The children born in the cultivation world werepletely different from those in her previous life. These children had long since gotten rid of the pain of their periods. Moreover, Dong Xi had a fire spiritual root, so she would not be afraid even if she ate cold desserts every day. Dong Xi and the other man came to the door of a small shop. That¡¯s right, the shop was called a small shop. The two of them sat at the table at the door and each of them ordered arge bowl of ice desserts. The two of them chatted as they ate. Ke Xin said, ¡°Little Xi, I¡¯ve heard that something big has happened to the sect these few days. The Sect Master used the Backtracking Mirror to exchange for the Masked Moon Sect¡¯s Soul-Amassing Lamp. The jade slip guesses that our Eastern Continent¡¯s sects are going to re-rank this time and that none of them want to suffer a loss. It also says that the Earth Fiend Valley has recently asked the Sect Master to borrow the Backtracking Mirror. As for what they¡¯ve paid, we, the low-level disciples, don¡¯t know.¡± Dong Xi was very surprised to hear Ke Xin say this. Didn¡¯t Ke Xin juste out of seclusion? How did she know so much? Ke Xin continued, ¡°I also heard that this time, the Green Cloud Sect is going to pay a huge price. They deserve it. Evil will be punished.¡± ¡­ As the two of them were talking, the smoothie was served. The boss said, ¡°Please enjoy your meal.¡± The boss¡¯s face was extremely cold and unfriendly. If it was not for the smoothie being super delicious, no one would be willing toe. The two of them finished their smoothies and got up to leave. As they walked, Ke Xin felt that something was amiss. ¡°Sister, do you find anything strange?¡± ¡°What¡¯s strange?¡± asked Dong Xi doubtfully. Ke Xin said, ¡°Ice spirit root, that¡¯s a mutation! He¡¯s aplete genius, and the heavens blessed him with a special talent. Why would such a talente out to open a small shop and rely on ice desserts to attract people?¡± Hearing Ke Xin¡¯s words, Dong Xi replied calmly, ¡°So what if it¡¯s strange? Sister, to be able to open a shop here in this county city, the sect has already investigated it. There¡¯s definitely no problem with this uncle, so don¡¯t worry.¡± Ke Xin scratched her head. Dong Xi had convinced her with just a few words. Indeed, it would not be a problem to open a shop here. The conversation between the two was heard by the boss not far away. The boss¡¯s face was calm, and he casually wrote down a stroke on the jade slip. 4,740. The boss was cursed. It was said that he could not count beyond 9,999. This also became the boss¡¯s Mental Demon. Every time he cultivated, he would start counting. However, every time he counted to 9,999, all his previous efforts would be in vain. The boss gradually became crazier because of this. Chapter 216 - 216 Frozen 216 Frozen The Boss even almost went crazy and killed the servant who had followed him for a long time. Fortunately, at thest moment, the Boss regained his senses and sealed himself in ice. Later on, the Sect Master suggested that the Bosse out to gain experience, and that was how they came to this town. By the time Dong Xi and Ke Xin returned to the sect, the sky had already turned dark. Just like before, Dong Xi opened up the restrictions of the sect, and the moment she stepped in, the scenery around her changed. The familiar cave abode, the big willow tree, and the flowers in the experimental field had all disappeared. In their ce was arge willow forest and a ck shadow that hit her face. Dong Xi was shocked. Then, she calmly reached out and hugged the ck shadow. Squeak¡­ The ck shadow returned to its original form, a squirrel the size of a palm. It hugged Dong Xi¡¯s finger and acted coquettishly. ¡°Did you do all this, Songsong?¡± Dong Xi frowned. Songsong immediately shook its head. Its voice immediately appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Songsong said, ¡°Songsong didn¡¯t do it! This is all the work of that snake!¡± ¡°The big snake?¡± asked Dong Xi, puzzled. The big snake did not look like someone who would do such a childish thing, right? Could it be that the big snake felt that the cave dwelling¡¯s restriction was not safe enough, so he strengthened it? Scaring Dong Xi was unintentional? As Dong Xi was thinking, Songsong jumped off her body and came back with something in its mouth. Dong Xi sat on the futon, ying with the thing in her hand. It was a tree. Dong Xi sent a stream of spiritual Qi, and the surrounding scene started to change, but it seemed to be¡­ A cartoon? However, it was impossible for her to be crazy enough to let her watch a horror cartoon. After Dong Xi activated this thing, she put it back. Since it was brought back by the snake, she should keep it properly. Perhaps the snake¡¯s race preferred such an environment? Su Cheng secretly used his divine sense to check Dong Xi¡¯s expression and could only see that Dong Xi¡¯s expression wasplicated, but she did not seem particrly happy. Su Cheng was depressed. He took out another small thing and threw it out. Dong Xi had been cultivating the entire time. No matter how terrifying it was, this was only an illusion. The moonlight would still shine on Dong Xi¡¯s body, and she could feel it. However, these shadows kept climbing up Dong Xi¡¯s body, and a cold feeling spread over Dong Xi¡¯s body¡­ Even if Dong Xi had strong mental strength, she could not stand being in such an environment for a long time. Dong Xi¡¯s scalp went numb. She was a little puzzled. What was the big snake trying to do? Wasn¡¯t the feeling of this Illusionary Realm too strong? Dong Xi could not help but open her eyes, but when she saw what was in front of her, she was instantly stunned. This¡­ What the hell was this? The ck shadows in front of her were still crawling toward her, but these shadows were separated by many bubbles. All the shadows had an indescribable sense of joy. The entire illusion seemed to have be a horror paradise? Dong Xi was not as scared. She curiously reached out and touched the bubble. The poping and cold feeling was very real. From the looks of it, this bubble was not an illusion. Dong Xi immediately became alert. The spiritual Qi in her Dantian circted rapidly. The inner core that belonged to the big snake began to rotate rapidly, but she did not discover any poisonous mist. It seemed like no one had plotted against her¡­ But what was going on with these bubbles? It could not be a prank on purpose, right? Dong Xi stood up somewhat unwillingly. A ball of fire appeared in her hand as she walked toward the ce where the bubbles hade from. With each step Dong Xi took, the ck shadow retreated a little, and many bubbles burst. The fire in her hand flickered, and bubbles burst, producing the sound of bubbles. Dong Xi now saw a y man blowing bubbles at the entrance of the cave. It was obvious that this was the work of the y man. Dong Xi could not see anything in her eyes and was only stunned for a moment. She took out the frog statue, activated the rune, opened the door, and threw it in. She was very familiar with this set of actions and did not panic at all. This time, the previous shadows had all turned into little snakes. It instantly made the terrifying atmosphere a little funny. Dong Xi also admired herself very much. She managed to create such a chaotic scene. Looking at the little snakes, she could tell that the big snake was not in a good mood. ¡°It seems that you like this humid and terrifying environment very much,¡± Dong Xi said immediately. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to enjoy it alone, so I can only ask you toe out with me.¡± Su Cheng looked at the human-shaped mushroom in front of him. It had a strange face and its mouth was opening and closing. Su Cheng¡¯s expression started to be strange. This¡­ You call this terrifying? Su Cheng thought about it. Of course, the little girl could not be like him. After all, she was still a ten-year-old child. It was normal for her to be afraid. Su Cheng immediately remembered that he had another toy, the Dancing Rooster! Chapter 217 - 217 Go and Cultivate! 217 Go and Cultivate! Su Cheng immediately took it out, and the toy chicken immediately rushed to Dong Xi, crazily nudging Dong Xi¡¯s butt and repeatedly saying, ¡°Go and cultivate! Go and cultivate!¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi now somewhat understood why he was called Su Cheng the Demon Lord Commander. However, this ¡®demon¡¯ word should be reced with the word ¡®clown¡¯. Dong Xi sat back down on the futon, and the toy chicken immediately stopped. However, it stood beside Dong Xi and had no intention of leaving, as if it was a supervisor. Dong Xi slowly got used to the feeling of the bubbles bursting on her skin and entered a meditative state again. Su Cheng stood beside the red flower and nced at Dong Xi, who looked more beautiful than the flower. This time¡­ The little girl should be happy now? When the moon set and the illusion in the courtyard dissipated, a pile of bubbles might evoke a fear of copsing instantly, but Dong Xi did not care. Dong Xi was surrounded by a circle of yellow spiritual Qi. Although he did not understand why the big snake was doing this, she did not care. The snake¡¯s things were all a little strange. If they were damaged, wouldn¡¯t the snake ask forpensation? The people in the world of cultivators were all bad, especially those who tried to scam others. They were even worse than those in her previous life. When Dong Xi walked out of the restriction, the feeling of moisture hadpletely disappeared. The toy chicken that was following behind him had alsopletely stopped. Dong Xi felt extremely rxed, as if she had just been reborn. She turned around and saw a willow tree, a pool of water, and a cave. It was peaceful and quiet. Dong Xi did not know how the snake did it. Looking inside from the outside, she could not see anything. Only the people inside the restriction knew how deep the water and fire were inside¡­ Dong Xi came to the alchemy room. The scorching temperature in the alchemy room made her sigh. It was still more satisfying here. Everything that happenedst night seemed like a prank no matter how she thought about it. However, all of this happened because of Su Cheng. Dong Xi could not help but think carefully. What was Su Cheng¡¯s purpose? Dong Xi had only trained her body for the entire morning. At noon, she left the pill refining room. The fellow disciples who had been dragged into Dong Xi¡¯s mess heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Dong Xi leave. They had not expected Dong Xi to head straight to the Library Hall after leaving. There were many books about pills in the Library Hall. The Ningtian Sect wouldpensate the disciples for the secret manuals and pill rooms that they had contributed. Therefore, whoever had extra books would be very willing to contribute to the sect. Dong Xi searched for a long time, and after more than six hours, she finally found a book in the corner that had already turned yellow. Dong Xi originally did not have any more hope, but she did not expect to have an unexpected harvest and really find what she wanted. The Exorcism Pill was almost useless to cultivators, as it could get rid of the demonic Qi. Dong Xi was stunned when she saw this sentence. Many romance plots shed through her mind. He changed her face for true love, dispelled the demonic Qi, and cultivated the Righteous Path¡­ Dong Xi guessed everything, but she still could not guess what Su Cheng¡¯s goal was. Dong Xi had also thought about reporting the giant snake, but even the patriarchs of the eight big sects could not kill Su Cheng. Plus, Su Cheng had the power of space. How could the Ningtian Sect be able to defeat him? ording to the original book, Dong Rourou had be one with her sword andbined the power of the eight great sects, but she had only injured Su Cheng. Su Cheng¡¯s inner core was still in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. If Su Cheng wanted to take it back, it would be an easy task. Moreover, after spending so much time with Su Cheng, Dong Xi realized that this Demon Lord Commander waspletely different from the one in the book. There was no ruthlessness at all, but a little¡­ silly? After all, how could a proper Demon Lord y with some bubbles-spitting toy, and a chicken that only knows how to peck people¡¯s buttocks? In fact, he would even beg Dong Xi to refine Exorcism Pills¡­ ording to the original book, Su Cheng, as a Demon Lord, would lead thousands of demons to attack the Immortal cultivation world, causing the Immortal cultivation world to be full of demonic Qi. After being contaminated, it was almost impossible to remove it. If it could not be suppressed, it would turn into a demonic creature. Thinking of this, Dong Xi pondered for a moment before finally deciding to refine the Exorcism Pill. Not only to make it for Su Cheng, but also to make more. When the time came, she would secretly keep it so that she could live on! In the original book, the time when Su Cheng attacked the cultivation world and caused the cultivation world to be filled with demonic Qi was very vague. What Dong Xi could be sure of was that Dong Rourou would also be in the cultivation world at that time. In other words, there were still more than six years left. Dong Xi had originally nned to run away after six years. If she happened to encounter a period full of demonic Qi, she would really cry. Dong Xi closed the book. When the other disciples heard the voice, they looked at Dong Xi strangely. Dong Xi came back to her senses. She was a little excited just now and could only smile apologetically at the crowd. Then, she left the Library Hall quietly. Chapter 218 - 218 Did She Run Away? 218 Did She Run Away? That night, Dong Xi did not return to the courtyard. The next day, she still did not return.
She did not return on the third day, and Su Cheng could not wait any longer. This little girl, did she run away? Su Cheng had prepared so much for her, but the little girl was still unhappy? Su Cheng took out hismunication jade slip. There were many replies to his previous question. They were even discussing how to take care of a girl. Su Cheng frowned. He did not agree with what these humans said¡­ Su Cheng looked through it and stopped when he saw one. [Although they are both children, boys and girls arepletely different. Boys like to y, while girls like beauty¡­ If the child is a girl, you should give her some beautiful clothes or jewelry¡­] Su Cheng looked at it and pondered. Dong Xi always wore men¡¯s clothes, and her hair was tied into a simple ponytail. If it were not for her eyes, most people would not have thought that she was a girl. Su Cheng did not know that most of the female disciples in the Alchemy Sect and Sword Sect were influenced by Dong Xi. They felt that it was a waste of time to dress up every day. Almost all of them wore simple ponytails and wore men¡¯s clothes. When Dong Xi returned to the cave abode, it was already a monthter. She had just entered the restriction when she saw the familiar horror theme in the courtyard.
Dong Xi¡¯s expression was cold as she opened the door of the cave. Su Cheng had long sensed Dong Xi¡¯s return and was not surprised to see her. Dong Xi took out ten bottles of Exorcism Pills and handed them to Su Cheng. Su Cheng wanted to say, ¡®Oh, so you still remembered how toe back?¡¯ However, when he saw the pills, he could not say anything. Su Cheng opened the bottle and smelled the familiar scent. He was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been refining pills all this time?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve only refined a few, so you can keep them first.¡± Although she said so, how could Dong Xi only make so little? She had made a total of 20 bottles, and now she was giving them half each. Su Cheng wrapped the pills with his spiritual sense and could feel that the quality of these pills was different. Compared to Dong Xi¡¯s perfect pill, there was a huge difference. It was enough to know that refining a third-grade pill was still a difficult thing for Dong Xi. However, Su Cheng was already very satisfied. The people on the jade slip said that the children in the family only knew how to go out and y. When it came to cultivation, they were hopeless. Look at Dong Xi, this little girl, whether it was cultivation or alchemy, she did not need Su Cheng to care at all. Dong Xi handled it all by herself.
Su Cheng¡¯s face revealed a gratified smile, and then he threw a storage ring to Dong Xi. ¡°Take it and y with it,¡± Su Cheng said. Dong Xi immediately caught it and examined it with curiosity. She was instantly shocked. The storage ring should be about 40 square meters in size, and it was filled with all kinds of clothes. Moreover, Dong Xi had never worn clothes of this color in both of her lives. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng in confusion. He¡¯s a snake, so where did he find so many women¡¯s clothes? Su Cheng then gently touched Dong Xi¡¯s forehead. Dong Xi¡¯s forehead suddenly felt a little cold. Su Cheng said, ¡°You should wash your head of useless thoughts.¡± In an instant, Dong Xi fell into the pond in the courtyard. Dong Xi stuck her head out of the water. As she looked at the cave dwelling, she felt that this huge snake was really a little strange. Dong Xi wanted to sell these clothes. She took out a pink dress withce on it. If it was in her previous life, many young girls would definitely like it. Dong Xi quickly found the description on the clothing. [If attacked, a defensive formation will be activated immediately. The formation will immediately record the attack so that it will be easier for friends and family to seek revenge.] Dong Xi was stunned when she saw the description. She took out another dress. [If you receive respect from others, you will immediately activate a continuous spiritual attack apanied by an illusion. One-time use,sts for one day.] Then, she took out another dress. [This dress is called the Appearance-Changing Dress. It can change one¡¯s appearance. ] ¡­ Dong Xi¡¯s eyes brightened. She felt that her taste in aesthetics seemed to have changed. Looking at the dresses of different colors, they were very pleasing to the eye. Sell them? How could she sell them? Every dress could provide Dong Xi with a chance to live. How could spirit stones be more important than her life? Dong Xi came out of the pool and used a cleaning spell. Her wet clothes and hair were all cleaned. Dong Xi excitedly ran towards the cave dwelling and pushed open the stone door. Dong Xi¡¯s head stuck in and she shouted, ¡°Thank you, big snake!¡± Su Cheng looked at the smile on Dong Xi¡¯s face. He smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re just holding our end of the bargain.¡± Su Cheng thought, ¡®The jade slip was right, they didn¡¯t lie to me!¡¯ Chapter 219 - 219 I Won’t Go Back on My Word 219 I Won¡¯t Go Back on My Word When Dong Xi heard Su Cheng¡¯s words, she felt that he was right. Dong Xi felt that the things that the big snake had given her had long exceeded the value of the Exorcism Pill. Even so, the conditions that they had agreed on before could not be changed. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Snake, you¡¯re still short of 170 items.¡± Although Dong Xi did not say what was missing, Su Cheng knew. He smiled and said, ¡°I know, I won¡¯t go back on my word, as long as you don¡¯t feel tired.¡± The big snake¡¯s words were clearly mocking Dong Xi, saying that she was tired. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°That will never happen again. Send me in now.¡± !! The frog appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s hand and was thrown to Su Cheng. Su Cheng caught it and yed with it for a moment. He looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Are you all ready?¡± Dong Xi nodded, and the frog was thrown over. Dong Xi raised her hand to take it, but then she appeared in the darkness. This ce was simply too familiar. Dong Xi took out the illumination treasure she had exchanged her points for, and the surroundings immediately lit up. Dong Xi immediately began to dig for spirit nts and herbs. When she got tired halfway, she would eat a Spirit Restore Pill and then look up at the sky. The sky seemed to be different from before. There were some stars in the sky, arranged in an orderly manner. A sentence suddenly appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. The sky as the chessboard, the stars as the chess pieces? Weren¡¯t the spirit herb fields here the chessboard? What would happen if the starlight in the sky was put into the chessboard? Dong Xi¡¯s brain started to work. She took out the green leaf that Song Qingfeng had given her and jumped on it, wanting to fly high to see the whole view of the spirit nt field. However, the illumination treasure could only illuminate a certain area. Dong Xi could not see the edges at all. The ces further away were all hidden in the darkness. Dong Xi had no choice but tond. It seemed that this ce was not dark under the light, but everywhere was dark. If she wanted to see the rest of the ce, she would have to wait for the moment he was teleported out at dawn. Dong Xi continued to dig the spirit herbs obediently, not wasting any time. Dong Xi was very particr about digging the spirit herbs. She did not dig all of them, but only one out of a few. When the sky was slightly bright, Dong Xi immediately stopped digging for spirit herbs. The sky brightened very quickly here, and once it waspletely bright, Dong Xi would be teleported out. Therefore, Dong Xi had to fly high into the sky before it waspletely bright to explore. Dong Xi immediately took out her green leaf and rose into the sky. Dong Xi¡¯s field of vision gradually widened, and everything around her could be seen. These were all spirit nt fields, and not all of them had spirit herbs and nts. This world was not without boundaries, it was like a small square box. Dong Xi had only taken a nce at it, and before she could study it properly, she had been teleported out in an instant. Seeing Dong Xie out, Su Cheng was not surprised. He just said, ¡°Do you need to go in again?¡± However, Dong Xi seemed to be lost in thought and did not pay attention to Su Cheng. Dong Xi took out a pen and paper and started to draw. Su Cheng furrowed his brows, his eyes turning sharp. However, when he saw what Dong Xi was drawing, his expression also became strange. What was this girl drawing? Before Su Cheng could see clearly, Dong Xi stopped and looked at the painting seriously. Dong Xi frowned and thought for a long time, but she did not continue. In the end, Dong Xi looked directly at Su Cheng and said, ¡°Send me in again.¡± Su Cheng saw how serious the little girl was and knew that she seemed to have discovered something rted to the treasurend. Su Cheng waved his hand and the statue that fell on the ground directly came to his hand. He casually threw it at Dong Xi and Dong Xi disappeared again. Su Cheng hit the stone bed in boredom and quietly waited for Dong Xi. Soon, Dong Xi¡¯s figure appeared. The drawing in Dong Xi¡¯s hands was alsopleted. It looked like a chess game, but¡­ Doest this little girl know how to y chess? Su Cheng thought of the pills Dong Xi gave him and said, ¡°Do you need my help?¡± ¡°No need. You probably won¡¯t understand it,¡± said Dong Xi while shaking her head. Su Cheng was confused. Who was the little girl looking down on? Su Cheng¡¯s face suddenly darkened. Dong Xi only thought: How could a snake know how to y chess? Moreover, this ce was the treasurednd, so this chessboard was definitely not an ordinary chess board. As for what kind of chess it was, Dong Xi needed to study it carefully to know. Dong Xi held the paper and pondered seriously. She pushed open the stone door and left the cave. However, she did not realize that the face of the great snake behind him was already extremely ugly. Su Cheng¡¯s face darkened. He could not be nice to this little girl! Just as Dong Xi left, Su Cheng¡¯s figure also disappeared from the cave. ¡°Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qing,¡± Su Cheng said. Two figures quickly appeared and knelt on the ground. ¡°We¡¯re here. What are your orders, Your Excellency?¡± Chapter 220 - 220 Swordsmanship 220 Swordsmanship Su Cheng took out the pill and threw it to them. He said, ¡°Take it and give it to Lady Rong. Let her arrange it.¡± ¡°We understand,¡± the two men replied. ¡­ Dong Xi cultivated the entire night. She nned her time very well. In the morning, she would practice her swordsmanship. In the afternoon, she would refine pills or body. At night, she would cultivate properly, bncing work and rest. !! Dong Xi¡¯s swordsmanship was already very proficient, but its power was still a littlecking. This swordsmanship was the signature of Daoist Yijian, so it was impossible for it to be so weak. It was most likely that Dong Xi had not mastered it. When she arrived at the sword-testing stone, there were already many disciples there. She did not know if they hade very early or if they did not go back to rest at all. Dong Xi took out her wooden sword and found a corner. Just as she got into position, it started to rain before she could start. The surrounding disciples lit up their spiritual energy shields one after another, but Dong Xi didn¡¯t, allowing the rain to fall on her body. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Dong Xi closed her eyes and heard the sound of the wind, the rain, and the sound of her fellow disciples practicing their swordsmanship¡­ As the sound of the rain grew louder and louder, a blurry world appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Dong Xi did not have any divine sense now, so these were only images formed by her perception. The raindrops in the sky fell directly from the clouds. Dong Xi raised her hand and the sword in her hand was raised, the tip of the sword facing the raindrops. Ding¡­ After cultivating the sword technique for hundreds and thousands of times, Dong Xi¡¯s movements became faster and faster, and the raindrops falling on her body became fewer and fewer. The surrounding crowd noticed Dong Xi¡¯s actions and stopped, looking at her. Dong Xi did not use any spiritual power, only her sword technique. However, no one doubted the power of this sword technique. When the sword shadow turned into a protective barrier around Dong Xi, all the raindrops were repelled. Dong Xi suddenly stabbed her sword into the sky. She cut through the rain! The rain clouds scattered, the sun shone down from above the clouds, and the rain disappeared for a short time, but it did not take long for it to return to its original state. Dong Xi let out a breath of turbid air. Her heart was surging, and she wanted to shout out in joy. When the surrounding crowd saw Dong Xi put away her sword, they immediately stepped forward and spoke. ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°It hasn¡¯t been long since Uncle-Master Yijian taught you this sword technique, but you¡¯ve already reached such a realm. I¡¯m truly impressed!¡± ¡°Junior Sister, can you give us some pointers?¡± ¡­ Dong Xi was also very happy to hear everyone¡¯spliments, but she also knew her own limits. This time, Dong Xi had also borrowed the momentum of the storm. Using this momentum toprehend sword arts should have been an opportunistic move. Dong Xi was surrounded by the crowd, all asking her to spar with them. There was no swordsman who did not want to fight. When Dong Xi heard everyone¡¯s request, she also wanted to give it a try. It was impossible for one person to improve faster than two people sparring. But just as Dong Xi was about to agree, a person ran over with his eyes fixed on the spiritual energy shield. That person shouted, ¡°My brothers and sisters, hurry! Quickly go to the square, the Sect Master is going to gather the souls of a few of our former sect members!¡± Dong Xi immediately perked up. Sparring was fine at any time and ce, but if she missed this soul gathering, who knew when the next time would be? The others had the same idea as Dong Xi. They took out their magic weapons one after another or stepped on their swords directly¡­ They quickly gathered at the square. The Sword Sect was rather far away from the square. By the time the disciples of the Sword Sect arrived, all the good spots had already been taken. Dong Xi sat on the little green leaf and found Ke Xin, who was in the crowd. Ke Xin looked at the many magical artifacts in front of her and sighed, ¡°Isn¡¯t it still blocked?¡± Dong Xi was very optimistic. Pointing at the gap between the two magical artifacts, Dong Xi said, ¡°Just make do, there are too many people in the sect.¡± In addition to the unjust deaths of those disciples, many people did not dare to continue going out to train and all stayed in the sect. While Dong Xi and Ke Xin were talking, a bird flew over. Then, a figure appeared in front of Dong Xi and Ke Xin. There was a feather under her feet. It was Chi Yan. ¡°I can¡¯t believe there are so many people in our sect and so many magic tools,¡± Chi Yan said ¡°I almost couldn¡¯t find you.¡± Ke Xin looked at Chi Yan and said, ¡°There are still quite a few people who haven¡¯te yet. Those who are in closed-door training, or those who are just not interested.¡± Chi Yan shook her head, looked at Dong Xi, and said, ¡°I¡¯ve juste out of seclusion. I heard others say that this matter is rted to you?¡± Dong Xi nodded. After thinking for a moment, she started to shake her head again. Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s somewhat rted, but not much.¡± The feathers on Chi Yan¡¯s head had already regrown. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Chi Yan asked doubtfully, ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Although I¡¯ve spoken to the Sect Master about this, he wouldn¡¯t have agreed to this just because of me,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°It¡¯s probably something else.¡± Chapter 221 - 221 Gathering of Souls 221 Gathering of Souls As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Sect Master Wei Nan took out a magic artifact, and a huge water screen appeared. Many of the junior disciples had never seen it before and could only exim in admiration. Dong Xi, who came from the 21st century, had seen the dopey curtain before, so it was easy for her to ept that the water curtain was just a huge curtain that had been erged. With the water screen, the people at the back could see clearly. !! Wei Nan stood where he was. Beside him were his eldest disciple and Master Yijian. There was a table in front of them, and on it were the life tes of the disciples who had died unjustly. They were all shattered. Wei Nan spread out his spirit sense, and his voice was filled with spirit energy so that every disciple could hear him. Wei Nan said, ¡°Previously, our disciples who went out to train were ambushed. Unfortunately, these disciples were killed, and the other disciples who returned also paid a heavy price. Today, I¡¯m going to gather souls in front of everyone. If I seed, I¡¯ll help us find out who dared to touch our disciples. At that time, I¡¯ll definitely not let these people go!¡± Wei Nan¡¯s words stirred up the crowd. It was as if with a single order from the Sect Master, everyone would rush out and trample on those dogs. On the water screen, the Sect Master¡¯s every movement could be clearly seen. Wei Nan looked at his eldest disciple, who immediately took out the Soul-Amassing Lamp. The people around Dong Xi started to whisper. ording to what they said, this Soul-Amassing Lamp was exchanged by the Sect Master with the Backtracking Mirror. Dong Xi had heard of this news long ago, but she did not take it to heart. Then she heard everyone say that the elder of the Masked Moon Sect was very unwilling to ept the death of his grandson and probably wanted to get to the bottom of it. Dong Xi seemed to have thought of something. At first, she was stunned, then her expression changed and she directly sucked in a cold breath. The enmity between the Masked Moon Sect and the Sect of Imperial Beasts had been spread by Dong Xi. Even the location had been sent to the jade slip by Dong Xi. Now that the Masked Moon Sect had used the Backtracking Mirror to check, wouldn¡¯t they see her¡­ No, it did not matter whether they saw it or not. After all, Dong Xi was also a victim. But if they saw the big snake, what would they do? Dong Xi knew that the great snake was a Demon Lord Commander, and he salso knew that these people said that the Righteous and the Demon could not coexist. However, the big snake and Dong Xi were now in the same boat. Not only did they have a contract, but the big snake¡¯s inner core was also in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. Even if Dong Xi said he identally ate it, would others believe her? Dong Xi sat on the little green leaf, feeling uneasy. She could not wait to send a message to the big snake to ask. However, Dong Xi and the snake were not good friends at all. Damn it¡­ It was such a superficial friendship. On the water curtain, the eldest disciple of Wei Nan had already arranged the formation, spirit stones, pills, and magic weapons needed for the soul gathering. Then, he ced the Soul-Amassing Lamp in the middle and lit it up. At this moment, the elder standing beside Wei Nan injected spiritual Qi into the formation, and the runes of the formation lit up one by one. Everyone was silent. They watched quietly, afraid that any noise would lead to failure. The rain suddenly stopped. The dark clouds in the sky became thicker, and the cold wind blew, making the surroundings a little darker. It was as if the Soul-Amassing Lamp was the only source of light in the world. Dong Xi looked at the Life Token on the table and frowned, her hands clenched into fists. Finally, a Life Token lit up. Everyone hurriedly looked over, and Dong Xi became even more nervous. After a quarter of an hour, two more life tablets lit up. Everyone was overjoyed. However, the other Life Token did not have any reaction. When the sky brightened, the wisp of the Soul-Amassing Lamp shook a few times and then went out. Wei Nan was not surprised to see this. ¡°The yang Qi here is too strong,¡± Wei Nan said directly. ¡°Everyone, leave.¡± After saying that, Wei Nan waved his hand, and three lit life tokens appeared in his hands. Then, he disappeared, and the other elders also disappeared, leaving everyone with a confused look. Life and death were the opposite. The living could not touch the Qi of death, and their souls would also be affected by the Qi of yang. It was already very difficult for the Sect Master to set up the formation and let everyone see the gathering of souls. Now, everyone could only wait for the news. Ke Xin¡¯s expression was somewhat sorrowful. She sighed softly and said, ¡°It seems that only three disciples have been saved.¡± Chi Yan disagreed and said, ¡°The strength of the souls is different. Some people will be taken to the Ghost Realm when they die, while others will stay in the Human Realm for a long time. Only the souls that stay in the human world can be guided by the Soul-Amassing Lamp. I guess the Sect Master was able to save these three people because their cultivation is higher. Otherwise, he might not have been able to save any of them.¡± Chapter 222 - 222 Cultivate Properly 222 Cultivate Properly When Ke Xin heard this, she came to a realization. She smiled bitterly and said, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. It seems that we have to cultivate well. If our cultivation is too low and we die in the future, even if someone wants to gather our souls, they won¡¯t be able to.¡± Hearing this, Chi Yan smiled and said, ¡°Life and death are determined by fate. There¡¯s no need to be so persistent.¡± At this moment, some Senior Brothers of the Sword Sect shouted, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, do you want to spar?¡± Dong Xi nced at the Senior Brother of the Sword Sect and said, ¡°No, Senior Brother. I still have some matters to attend to and need to return to the Alchemy Sect. We¡¯ll continue sparring tomorrow!¡± The surrounding disciples left one after another. Dong Xi also bade farewell to Ke Xin and Chi Yan and immediately flew back to the Alchemy Sect. Dong Xi wanted to hurry back and ask. If the Masked Moon Sect found out that Dong Xi and the snake had appeared at that ce¡­ Things would really be over. Dong Xi quickly rushed back to the cave dwelling. As soon as she entered the restriction, the chicken immediately rushed forward and nudged Dong Xi¡¯s butt. ¡°Cultivate, cultivate¡­¡± Dong Xi picked up the toy chicken impatiently. The fire spiritual energy on Dong Xi¡¯s body instantly emerged, and the bubbles in the restriction burst. Dong Xi ran to the entrance of the cave. As soon as she entered, she saw Su Cheng lying on the bed in his original form. ¡°Big snake!¡± Dong Xi immediately said. ¡°If the Backtracking Mirror can see you and me, what should I do?¡± This was out of the blue, but Su Cheng understood. He transformed back into his human form and leaned against the bed. His originally white skin had an abnormal red glow. Su Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, these people can¡¯t see it.¡± Dong Xi said in disbelief, ¡°Really?¡± Su Cheng nodded and did not say much. Those people could only go back to the same space, but that disciple of Beast Trainer Sect was isted in another space by Su Cheng and killed. Dong Xi had been worried for a long time, but when she heard Su Cheng¡¯s words, she let out a sigh of relief. At this time, Dong Xi also noticed Su Cheng¡¯s strange behavior. She asked, ¡°What happened to you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too hot,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. Dong Xi suddenly thought of something. Looking at the giant snake in front of her, she remembered seeing it on a show in her previous life. If the temperature exceeded 35 degrees, the snake would enter summer hibernation. Perhaps it was because it had been too hot recently? Dong Xi himself had fire spiritual aura, so she was naturally not afraid of the heat. However, she had never thought that the Demon Lord was actually afraid of the heat. Su Cheng did not know what Dong Xi was thinking. If he did, he would haveughed out loud. Ignorant human. Su Cheng was not afraid of the heat, but there was still poison in his body. Now that the weather was hot, the poison actually acted up. Dong Xi recalled that she had seen such a scene in a book before. Perhaps she could give it a try. ¡°Bear with it, I¡¯ll try to refine a medicinal pill for you,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng did not say anything, but he did not believe it. Although this little girl was better at alchemy than her peers, her cultivation was very low. It was impossible for her to refine medicine to remove toxins. Dong Xi threw away the chicken in her hand and took out her alchemy furnace. In front of Su Cheng, Dong Xi sat on the ground. This pill was only a first-grade pill. With Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation, she could refine it without Earth Fire. Su Cheng watched with great interest as Dong Xi began to refine the pill. The toy chicken even tried to touch Dong Xi¡¯s butt, but Su Cheng casually waved his hand and the toy chicken¡¯s neck broke. Dong Xi did not pay any attention to this. Her attention was all on the pill furnace. Although the pill was a first-grade pill, it still needed to be refined seriously. Dong Xi did not seem to have wasted much energy in casting the technique. She opened the lid of the furnace, and as expected, it was a perfect pill refinement! Su Cheng sniffed the pill¡¯s fragrance and knew that it was a low-level pill. However, would it be useful? Su Cheng was very suspicious. Dong Xi put the pill into a porcin bottle and threw it to Su Cheng. ¡°Give it a try,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng took the porcin bottle. The heat from the furnace made him a little ufortable. He frowned and looked at Dong Xi. Su Cheng said, ¡°What is this? Is it really going to work?¡± Dong Xi put away the pill furnace and looked at Su Cheng. She proudly said, ¡°This is a Ice Cold Pill. Although it¡¯s a low-grade pill, it can make one feel very cool after eating it. Legend has it that the alchemist from back then married a mortal. Every summer, the mortal would feel very ufortable, so he invented this pill. It¡¯s been more than 10,000 years, but this pill is still very popr in the cultivation world. If you need it, I can make more for you.¡± Ice Cold Pill? What a straightforward name¡­ Su Cheng opened the porcin bottle, and the pill¡¯s fragrance hit his face. Su Cheng immediately ate the pill. It was really magical. After eating this pill, the temperature of his body indeed dropped rapidly, and the churning poison also calmed down. Chapter 223 - 223 A Place to Use 223 A ce to Use Su Cheng felt much better. He had to look up to this girl. Although she didn¡¯t have too much in terms of cultivation, she could still be of use. Dong Xi saw that the faint redness on the snake¡¯s body had disappeared and knew that it was the effect of the medicinal pill. Dong Xi took a step forward and ced her small hand on the snake¡¯s tail. The hideous wounds on the tail had already disappeared. Only then did she remember that it had been a long time since he had treated the snake¡¯s injuries. Originally, when he saw the big snake¡¯s astonishingbat power, Dong Xi thought that the big snake did not need any further treatment. She had not expected it to be an empty shell. !! Dong Xi¡¯s wood spiritual energy entered the snake¡¯s body through his scales. After going around the snake¡¯s meridians, she found the location of the poison. In the beginning, Dong Xi only knew how to use wood spiritual Qi to calm Su Cheng¡¯s violent spiritual power. During this process, Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi would consume a small part of the poison. Even if it was only a small part, it would make Su Cheng feel much better. However, this time, Dong Xi had a magical idea. She wanted to turn the wood spiritual energy into the shape of a dagger. Dong Xi tried to cut the ck poison and found that she could cut it open. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up, and she immediately continued to cut at the poison. In the beginning, Dong Xi did not dare to cut off too much, afraid that she would not be able to clean it up. She could only cut off a thin piece, then wrapped the poison with wood spiritual energy and pulled it out of Su Cheng¡¯s meridians. Dong Xi was still very self-aware and did not dare to guide these fierce toxins into her body. The moment the toxins left Su Cheng¡¯s body, Dong Xi cut off the connection with the spiritual energy. While she was still feeling proud of herself, Su Cheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Blood sttered on Dong Xi¡¯s clothes. Her beige clothes were instantly stained with red, like the red plum in winter. Dong Xi was stunned. When she came back to his senses, she immediately said, ¡°How is it? Are you alright?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s vertical pupils were not as pleasant anymore. Instead, they were a little unfocused. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Su Cheng¡¯s eyes focused again. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Su Cheng said and shook his head. Dong Xi looked at the mess on the ground and felt that she had caused big trouble. She said, ¡°You¡¯re already like this, and you still say you¡¯re fine?¡± Su Cheng was indeed fine. This girl had cleared some of the poison and the spiritual energy that was originally used to suppress the poison was immediately released. He vomited blood because his blood was boiling, but Su Cheng was a big snake. He really did not care about this little bit of blood. Su Cheng used a cleaning spell to clean up the blood on the ground and Dong Xi¡¯s clothes. Dong Xi hesitated for a moment before taking out the vitality supplement pill and throwing it to the snake. He also told the snake to rest well ande back five dayster. After leaving, Dong Xi did not believe Su Cheng¡¯s words. She took out the jade slip and paid attention to the news of the Masked Moon Sect and Beast Trainer Sect. At this moment, there were very few Sword Sect disciples who took on missions on the Jade slip, which gave many rogue cultivators the opportunity. Dong Xi sent an anonymous message. [Who killed these sect disciples? (If your message makes sense, you can get a low-grade spirit stone, Five Kill Temple will distribute it.)] As soon as this message appeared, everyone replied frantically. Even if a low-grade spirit stone was thrown at the faces of these geniuses, they wouldn¡¯t even look at it. However, when it was given to this jade slip, it was a different story. Who could reject gossip and still get paid? [Hey, OP! The eight great system-allocated sects needed to be ranked again, and no one could do it cleanly! They¡¯re just killing each other!] [Previous post, don¡¯t talk nonsense! Our Masked Moon Sect won¡¯t do such things!] [Our Ningtian Sect won¡¯t either!] [Speaking of the Ningtian Sect, I¡¯ve heard that the Sect Master of the Ningtian Sect spent a lot of money to organize a gathering for their disciples. Did they find something?] [Are there any disciples of the Ningtian Sect who cane out and say something?] [The disciples of the Ningtian Sect have indeed gathered their souls, but I don¡¯t know about the rest.] [The Earth Fiend Valley hasn¡¯t made any moves recently. Could they be preparing some big move behind our backs?] Dong Xi saw that no matter what these people said, they did not mention the Masked Moon Sect and immediately changed the topic. [Who can tell us how the enmity between the Masked Moon Sect and the Beast Trainer Sect was resolved?] As soon as Dong Xi started the conversation, someone else immediately followed. [I know about this. I¡¯m from the Masked Moon Sect. In the past few days, the Beast Trainer Sect has beening to our Masked Moon Sect frequently. It seems that they havepensated the Elder with a lot of things.] Dong Xi continued to lead the way. [Didn¡¯t you say that this matter is rted to the demon race?] That person immediately replied. [What demon race? It¡¯s just an excuse.] Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that demonmander Su Cheng was not mentioned. She took the storage bag and immediately went to the Five Kills Temple in the county town to deposit some spirit stones. He would use them to repay this group of enthusiastic people. Chapter 224 - 224 Why Could He Be Sweating? 224 Why Could He Be Sweating? On the way back, Dong Xi also went to the shop that he always went to and ate a bowl of smoothie. Dong Xi saw the boss standing by the counter, looking at the jade slip with a cold expression and solemnly writing something. However, just as she finished writing a line of words, fine sweat appeared on the boss¡¯s forehead, blue veins popped out, and his eyes were bloodshot. Dong Xi knew that this boss was very wrong. The boss was an ice-type cultivator, how could he sweat? And he seemed to be very anxious. Dong Xi did not know why, but after thinking about it, she took out an Ice Cold Pill and handed it to the boss. Hong Wei was stunned when he saw the pill in the hands of the girl who often came here. She looked at the man and said, ¡°Uncle, you seem to be very hot. This is a Ice Cold Pill, it¡¯s for you.¡± Hong Wei took the pill and looked at it with aplicated expression. At this moment, someone walked into the shop and shouted, ¡°Boss! A big bowl of smoothie.¡± Hong Wei did not seem to hear him. His whole body seemed to be frozen, and his eyes were out of focus, as if his mind was wandering in space. The nearby customers called him again, but found that the boss was still sitting in the same ce. This customer was not a good-tempered person either. He walked up to the counter and pped it. ¡°Are you deaf?¡± the guest shouted. ¡°Then don¡¯t open a shop! I¡¯ve called you so many times, but you didn¡¯t respond!¡± Dong Xi looked over and saw the boss standing up. The boss¡¯s face was like shattered ice. When the customer saw the boss¡¯s cold eyes, he was also frightened. He wanted to continue to curse, but he swallowed his words. However, Hong Wei did not quarrel with the customer because of this. He said, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± The guest stammered, ¡°Big¡­ A big bowl of smoothie.¡± Dong Xi saw that the two of them did not get into a conflict, so she lowered her head and started eating the smoothie again. Although Dong Xi was not afraid of being provoked, eating arge bowl of delicious smoothies in the summer would still be very refreshing, as if she had been reborn. After eating, Dong Xi was just about to leave when he noticed that the spiritual Qi around the boss behind the counter was a little off. This was the downtown area. Dong Xi took out a jade slip to contact the county guards and wanted to run away. But at this moment, he heard the boss¡¯s anxious voice. ¡°I can¡¯t write anymore,¡± Wei Nan said. ¡°I¡¯m useless. 9,999, what¡¯s next?¡± When Dong Xi, who was about to run away, heard this, she stopped, her face full of question marks. What? This uncle was a math enthusiast? Dong Xi retracted her outstretched foot. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and walked toward the boss. Dong Xi might not be able to do it in a fight, but in mathematics, Dong Xi was a young girl who had been beaten up by three years of college entrance examination simtions. She was confident in this. ¡°Uncle,¡± Dong Xi said. Hong Wei¡¯s mind was in a mess. He was thinking about what came after 9,999, and at the same time, he wondered why he was so useless. He did not even know what came after 9,999. Dong Xi¡¯s sudden shout was like the creation of the world, clearing up Hong Wei¡¯s chaotic mind. Hong Wei let go of his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. The smile on the little girl¡¯s face was the same as when she bought smoothies. Seeing Hong Wei raise his head, Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. If he could raise his head, it meant that he could hear her voice. This way, he could still be saved. Dong Xi was afraid that the boss would be stuck at a dead end again, so she quickly said, ¡°10,000! Uncle, after 9,999 is 10,000!¡± When Hong Wei heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was stunned and somewhat lost in thought. He muttered to himself, ¡°10,000¡­ 10,000¡­¡± Dong Xi stood in front of Hong Wei and watched as he took out another empty jade slip. He wrote from the beginning as he recited, ¡°One, two, three¡­¡± Dong Xi also did not know what was going on with the boss. Although there was only one step between a genius and a madman, she had never seen anyone go crazy from counting. Soon, the guards of the county rushed over, but the boss was still focused on writing the numbers. Dong Xi immediately stepped forward and took out the waist token that signified she was Ningtian Sect¡¯s direct disciple. Dong Xi said, ¡°This boss seems to have a particrly serious Mental Demon. I just noticed that the spiritual energy around him seemed to be a little violent, so I called you guys over.¡± When these guards saw the waist token, their initial disdain immediately turned into respect. ¡°We¡¯ll take him away immediately. We won¡¯t disturb the other Fellow Daoists,¡± a guard said. With that, the guards prepared to step forward immediately, but Dong Xi stretched out her hand to stop them. Dong Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. This Fellow Daoist seems to be carrying some treasure that can suppress the spiritual energy turbulence. He should know his own condition. Let¡¯s take a look first.¡± Chapter 225 - 225 10,000 225 10,000 There was such a strange scene on the streets of the county town. A group ofw-enforcement officers and a young girl stood in front of the shop, watching the owner inside writing the numbers. ¡°9,994¡­ 9,995¡­¡± the owner mumbled as he wrote. Dong Xi looked at how much effort the boss was putting in and wished she could teach all the mathematics knowledge she had learned in her previous life to guy. This way, it would be faster. Slowly, the number reached 9,999 again. The owner¡¯s mood fluctuations were very obvious. Every number he wrote seemed to use all his strength, and he was on the verge of going berserk. !! Dong Xi immediately reacted and jumped onto the counter. He held the owner¡¯s hand and used all her strength to make the owner write numbers on the jade slip. ¡®1,000.¡¯ ¡°Bang!¡± The powerful spirit energy wave knocked Dong Xi over, and the tables and chairs in the room were in a mess. Fortunately, thew-enforcement officers had already made preparations and set up an array around the shop, which gave the other onlookers a chance to escape. Dong Xi supported herself against the wall and stood up shakily. All the panic and anxiety on the owner¡¯s face had disappeared. The boss sat down cross-legged and returned to his cold appearance, but he seemed more transparent than before. The owner was about to advance. Such a thought suddenly appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. She subconsciously sat cross-legged on the ground and began toprehend. The temperature around Dong Xi dropped bit by bit. Dong Xi had just entered a meditative state when a force instantly blew him out of the room. This time, Dong Xi flew very far away. However, when shended, it was very gentle. Dong Xi was jolted awake and looked at the elders who were rushing over as well as the Tribtion Lightning that was faintly gathering in the sky. Dong Xi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. From this situation, the Lightning Tribtion should be from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage? Fortunately, Dong Xi had been rescued. If she was still inside, she would probably be reborn again after the first Lightning Tribtion. However, a person withte Golden Core cultivation was trapped by mere numbers? And it even became a Mental Demon? Dong Xi could not figure it out no matter how hard she tried. However, Dong Xi thought of her inner demon, who had also solved hundreds of math problems. It was normal for her to be trapped by numbers. It was reasonable for it to exist. This was very reasonable. The clouds of Tribtion Lightning in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and there were even faint electric arcs. This was the first time Dong Xi had seen Tribtion Lightning. Previously, Dong Xi had seen thunder and lightning, but it had not been so loud. Dong Xi couldn oot help but wonder if the owner could really withstand it. While Dong Xi was thinking, Hong Wei flew out of the shop and faced the Lightning Tribtion. The ice sword in Hong Wei¡¯s hand shed with white light. The lightning in the air seemed to be provoked and the power that had been umted for a long time was finally used. Hong Wei took out a bronze mirror from his storage ring, which should be a defensive magic weapon. However, a bolt of lightning struck down and the magical weapon shattered. Hong Wei took out a ck banner again. Dong Xi watched as Hong Wei took out one treasure after another to resist the lightning tribtion. Dong Xi felt her heart ache. So many treasures had been destroyed! Her heart ached! Even though it was not something that Dong Xi possessed, she still felt heartache. This was a waste of a treasure! Dong Xi could not help but think that no matter how powerful the Lightning Tribtion was, it was still lightning. Lightning was produced in the clouds where the convection current was strong. Above the clouds was. positive charge, and below was a negative charge, so the middle of the clouds became a potential difference. When the potential difference reached a certain level, it would produce lightning¡­ If she could give the owner an insted protective suit and a lightning rod¡­ Dong Xi seriously thought about the possibility, but after thinking for a long time, she still could not think of such material in the cultivation world. The Lightning Tribtion in the sky began to dissipate. Wei Hong¡¯s hair had been blown up. He had obviously been electrocuted. Hong Wei opened his mouth, and a puff of smoke came out. However, he seemed to be in a good state of mind. In this case, Dong Xi felt that this Lightning Tribtion was nothing special. It was not as torturous as those numbers. The sect elder cupped his fists at Hong Wei and said, ¡°Congrattions, Hong Wei!¡± Hong Wei immediately returned the greeting and looked around. Finally, he looked at Dong Xi. Hong Wei stepped on the ice sword and flew to Dong Xi. ¡°Thank you, Fellow Daoist,¡± said Hong Wei. Although Hong Wei¡¯s age and qualifications were much higher than Dong Xi¡¯s, she had helped Hong Wei solve the demon in his heart. Hong Wei also sincerely cupped his fists to Dong Xi and made a greeting of equals. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re too polite. I¡¯m just¡­¡± Dong Xi immediately cupped her fists. Dong Xi had wanted to say that she was being a busybody, but to this Senior, it did not seem like she was being a busybody, right? Chapter 226 - 226 May I Ask For Your Name 226 May I Ask For Your Name Dong Xi scratched his head, not knowing what to say. Hong Wei seemed to see that Dong Xi was in a difficult position, so he said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything more, Fellow Daoist. Whether it¡¯s intentional or not, your actions have indeed helped me resolve my Mental Demon. I¡¯m Daoist Hong Wei from the Array Sect, may I ask for your name ¡± When Dong Xi heard that Hong Wei¡¯s Mental Demon had been removed, her first thought was that she would not be able to eat smoothie in the future. Dong Xi looked at Hong Wei¡¯s afro and found it difficult not tough. !! Dong Xi said seriously, ¡°Senior, this disciple is the Alchemy Sect¡¯s Dong Xi. Now that your¡­ Mental Demons have been removed, are you not going to run your smoothie shop in the future?¡± Hong Wei was stunned when he heard this. He remembered that Dong Xi hade to eat smoothie a lot recently and immediately understood what Dong Xi meant. Hong Wei smiled, and his cold face softened. He said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible to run the shop now. If fellow Daoist still wants to eat, just send me a message.¡± On Dong Xi¡¯s jade slip, there was another column about the owner. And this owner was from the Array Sect? Dong Xi looked at the name on the jade slip and a smile appeared on her face. Now she knew someone from the Array Sect! Hong Wei wanted to give Dong Xi a greeting gift, but when his divine sense entered the storage ring, he found that all the good things from before had been used up during the Lightning Tribtion. Now, there were only some things left that he couldn¡¯t take out. Hong Wei¡¯s dark face was also a little embarrassed. He clenched his fist and coughed to cover up his embarrassment. Hong Wei flew into the sky and looked at the Elders who came to congratte him. He said, ¡°Are you here to congratte me empty-handed?¡± When the Elders heard Hong Wei¡¯s words, they were stunned for a moment before they burst outughing. Hong Wei returned to Dong Xi¡¯s side and gave him a storage ring that was filled with all kinds of treasures. How could Dong Xi dare to take it? To put it bluntly, Dong Xi had only helped to write some numbers. ¡°Senior, there¡¯s no need to be like this. I¡¯m not worthy of such gifts!¡± Dong Xi immediately said. ¡°Just ept it,¡± said Hong Wei. Hongwei had never liked to be anxious with others, and he was not so tactful when he spoke or did things. In the world of cultivators, such a simple-minded person was more likely to achieve great sess in cultivation. Sect Leader Wei Nan also did not expect Hong Wei¡¯s Mental Demon to be some numbers. Dong Xi looked at the crowd flying away and then looked at the storage ring in her hand. She could not help butugh. It was the right decision to go out today. As soon as Dong Xi returned to her cave, someone came to visit. Dong Xi opened the restriction and saw that the person was someone she had never seen before. This person cupped his fists towards Dong Xi and said, ¡°Junior Sister, I¡¯m Daoist Hong Wei¡¯s disciple, Lin Li. Master sent me here to give this to Junior Sister. Thank you for helping my master resolve his Mentai Demon. If Junior Sister needs us in the future, just let us know. After sending him off, Dong Xi looked at the formation te in her hand. There were two array techniques sealed here. When the Array Sect disciples went out to gain experience, there were times when they did not have time to set up an array. Therefore, they would usually set up the array techniques and put them in the array disc. As long as it was activated, it could be used immediately. Many people would buy ready-made formation disks for self-defense. Originally, Dong Xi also had such an idea, but¡­ The ready-made one was sent over? After setting up the formation disks in the cave, Dong Xi found that the two disks Daoist Hong Wei had sent wereplementary. One was for attack, while the other was for defense. Not to mention the gifts from before, just these two formation disks were already very good. Just as Dong Xi finished setting up the formation te, Su Cheng walked out. Su Cheng looked at the formation disk that Dong Xi had set up and said, ¡°I¡¯m here, and you¡¯re still using such a child¡¯s toy?¡± No matter what, Dong Xi was already at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage. The moment she activated the array disc, she could feel the power of the array disc. As long as the formation te was set up, even if he encountered an early Golden Core cultivator, Dong Xi would be able to fight them. If it was anyone else who dared to say that, Dong Xi would definitely have rebuked him. However, the person who was speaking now was Demon Lord Su Cheng. Dong Xi pped her hands and stood up. She looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile, ¡°There are so many strange things in my cave, and even the ghostly forest appeared here. It¡¯s not strange to have some children¡¯s toys here, right?¡± Su Cheng was speechless. Su Cheng was silent. This little girl¡¯s cultivation was not very high, but she was very good at talking. At that moment, Su Cheng felt some fluctuations and looked at a mountain peak in the distance. When Dong Xi saw Su Cheng¡¯s actions, she asked in confusion, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I can feel soul fluctuations,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°Your Senior Brothers and Sisters should have woken up.¡± Chapter 227 - 227 Did They Really Come Back to Life? 227 Did They Really Come Back to Life? ¡°Did they reallye back to life?¡± Dong Xi asked in surprise. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi and said, these disciples¡¯ physical bodies have been destroyed. If they want to revive, they can only be ghost cultivators or go reincarnate. Dong Xi sighed softly, somewhat disappointed. Two dayster, there was news in the sect that the Green Cloud Sect had to pay a price for killing a disciple of the Ningtian Sect. The Green Cloud Sect would also have to pay for the expenses of gathering the souls of their disciples. When the news spread, Dong Xi was still sparring with the Senior Brothers of the Sword Sect. The Senior Brothers had different strengths, so when they were sparring, they would seal their own cultivation andpete purely in swordsmanship. It was true that Dong Xi was a genius, but she had only cultivated for a short time. Although she had been practicing the sword without any rest, how could these two yearspare to others who had practiced for decades? In the beginning, Dong Xi often lost, but as the number of times they fought increased, Dong Xi¡¯s swordsmanship also became better and better. Dong Xi fell again and again, and stood up again and again. She became more and more courageous, and this inspired everyone. Although she was very tired, it felt very good to take a bath after training. Dong Xi was sparring with the crowd when a disciple ran over and told everyone that the sect had already helped them get justice and had officially dered war on the Green Cloud Sect. The deration of war was something that everyone had already guessed. After all, although there was no evidence in the past, everyone was certain that the murderer was the Green Cloud Sect. In the dark, everyone would also be at loggerheads with each other, but now that it was out in the open, it was not so simple. Moreover, not only did the Sect Master help everyone getpensation, but he also dered war very firmly. This made Dong Xi very surprised. The Sect Master was indeed the Sect Master. He was actually able to make the Green Cloud Sect willingly pay such a huge price despite knowing that they would dere war. He was truly amazing. When the disciples of the Sword Sect heard the news, they were in an uproar and started to discuss. ¡°Since the war has been dered, I¡¯ll definitely teach the disciples of the Qing-Yun sect a good lesson with my sword skills if I meet them in the future!¡± ¡°I also want to cultivate properly and help my Senior Brothers and Sisters take revenge!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! When that timees, I¡¯m going to kill all the trash from the Green Cloud Sect with my sword strike!¡± ¡­ At this moment, a clear bell rang. Everyone looked up and saw a scroll unfurling slowly in the sky. The words on it were shining with golden light. The crowd looked up until the scroll slowly dissipated. The entire Ningtian Sect was in an uproar again. It was even more lively than before. Everyone was talking. ¡°The time for the sectpetition has been set!¡± ¡°Next month, it¡¯s next month! I won¡¯t sleep a single time this month! I¡¯m about to break through and level up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to take on a few missions and save up some points to exchange for a good sword.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go dig up some herbs too and exchange two bottles of pills with the Senior Brothers of the Alchemy Sect. The sectpetition is a tag-team battle.¡± ¡­ All the disciples were in high spirits. The sectpetition that had been dyed for so long was finally here. Before the sectpetition, the sects mustpete internally. Only the top 100 could represent the sects to fight for resources. However, this wasn¡¯t the end. Soon after, the sect released another piece of news. In the sectpetition, as long as the disciples of each cultivation level could enter the top 50, they could enter the inner sect! If a Qi Refinement disciple was chosen, he would be rewarded with one high-grade spiritual energy and three Foundation Establishment Pills. If a Foundation Establishment disciple is selected, they will be rewarded with a low-grade bejeweled weapon and three Vitality Reinforcement Pills. If a Golden Core core stage disciple is selected, he will be rewarded with a top grade artifact and three Nascent Fortifying Pills! When the news of these rewards spread, even those disciples who did not care about fame and fortune wanted to participate. It did not matter what the treasured weapons were, but those medicinal pills! No matter what level a cultivator was, with the help of a few pills, they were half a step away from sess. There was no reason to refuse, right? They must register! The entire Ningtian Sect was celebrating the New Year, but Lingxu Peak was not. Master Lingxu sat on the futon gloomily and looked at the two disciples in front of him. ¡°Divide the Foundation Establishment Pills and Vitality Reinforcement Pills among yourselves,¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°I¡¯ll make the Vitality Reinforcement Pills myself. I¡¯ll make thirty of each pill. If it¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll make more.¡± Liang Yan, who had been sparring with Master Yijian every day and had been abused countless times, felt a little guilty when he heard his Master¡¯s words. Liang Yan had almost forgotten his identity as an Alchemist. Fighting was simply too much. Just as Liang Yan was about to turn over a new leaf and make pills for the Alchemy Sect so that he could fight again in the future, he saw his Junior Brother Song Qingfeng take out a few bottles of pills and put them on the table. Song Qingfeng waved the fan in his hand and said, ¡°Is there a need to go through so much trouble? Master, do you think this is enough? If it¡¯s not enough, I still have some here.¡± Chapter 228 - 228 This Statement Is Wrong 228 This Statement Is Wrong Dazed for a moment, Master Lingxu said with a smile, ¡°My disciple Song Qingfeng, when did you be so hardworking and even know how to secretly refine pills? All these years, Master really didn¡¯t know. Now that he has grown up, Master is very pleased.¡± A smile appeared on Song Qingfeng¡¯s face. He waved the fan in his hand slightly, and the hair on his temples fluttered. He looked like a Saint, but what he said next was even more infuriating. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Master, you¡¯re wrong. Since when do I need to secretly refine pills? As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can have as many pills as you want.¡± Master Lingxu¡¯s face instantly darkened, and he waved his sleeve at Song Qingfeng. Song Qingfeng¡¯s body glowed with golden light, and he stood still. Master Lingxu said angrily, ¡°As an alchemist, you¡¯re not refining pills yourself but buying them?! I¡¯m teaching you, and you¡¯re using a magic treasure? Little brat, you¡¯re going to anger your Master to death!¡± Although he was cursing fiercely, he did not continue to attack. Song Qingfeng took out another bottle of pills with a smile and put it in front of Master Lingxu. He said, ¡°Master, don¡¯t be angry. Learning alchemy is for you to make pills for yourself when you need them. You don¡¯t have to serve others. Although I¡¯ll pay for them with spirit stones, that¡¯s one of the conditions, right?¡± Master Lingxu looked at the porcin bottle that Song Qingfeng had just taken out. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and immediately recognized it. Every single pill in this porcin bottle was a high-grade pill, and they were all pills that Lingxu had to personally refine. Master Lingxu was speechless. For a moment, Master Lingxu did not know if he should continue to be angry. Master Lingxu looked at Song Qingfeng with a serious expression, and Master Lingxu said, ¡°If your father knew that you were such a prodigal, who knows how he would deal with you!¡± Song Qingfeng shook his head and said, ¡°Master, that¡¯s not right. This is all my own money. I didn¡¯t use any of the song family¡¯s money.¡± Master Lingxu was silent. As an eighth-tier Alchemist, Master Lingxu¡¯s worth was not bad, but he did not dare to squander money like this. However, Song Qingfeng only made pills a few times a year. He obviously did not make money by making pills. Where did he get so many spirit stones? Not only was Master Lingxu confused, but Liang Yan was even more confused. Liang Yan was also Master Lingxu¡¯s disciple. Why was the gap between the two so huge? Every few years when Liang Yan was poor, someone woulde to his house to ask for a debt. Everyone in the cultivation world knew about this, but his Junior Brother was so rich. Liang Yan was really envious. Liang Yan was prepared to shamelessly ask his Junior Brother how he could earn so many spirit stones before he left. ¡°Alright,¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°You can all go back. Ask Little Xi toe to see me.¡± Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng left respectfully. As soon as they left the cave, Liang Yan coughed a few times and looked at Song Qingfeng, not knowing how to ask. ¡°What do you want?¡± Song Qingfeng asked directly. You want to borrow spirit stones?¡± Liang Yan was speechless. ¡°No,¡± Liang Yan shook his head and said, ¡°I just wanted to discuss with Junior Brother about how to make money.¡± Song Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t be able to learn my method, Eldest Senior Brother.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Liang Yan asked, unwilling to give up. ¡°Because you have to have a spirit vein first,¡± Song Qingfeng said. Liang Yan was speechless. If Liang Yan had a spirit vein, why would he have asked so shamelessly? Wait, Liang Yan suddenly thought of something. Liang Yan looked at the junior Brother he had known for a hundred years and suddenly had an idea. Song Qingfeng¡­ He could not possibly have several spirit veins, right? Once this thought appeared in his mind, he could not suppress it no matter what. Liang Yan thought that with Song Qingfeng¡¯s daily expenses and behavior, he might really have a few spirit veins. Liang Yan thought about himself again. Just because he used half of someone else¡¯s spirit vein, he was almost about to sell himself. Liang Yan suddenly felt very tired¡­ Song Qingfeng suddenly felt cold. He realized that his Senior Brother had been staring at him as if he was a fat sheep. ¡°Senior Brother,¡± Song Qingfeng said hurriedly, ¡°I need to go back and cultivate. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Song Qingfeng was not interested in the sectpetition. That little reward was basically insignificantpared to Song Qingfeng¡¯s wallet. How could he care about it? Song Qingfeng sent a message to Dong Xi as he returned to his cave abode, asking her to go to his Master¡¯s cave abode immediately. Liang Yan was standing in front of his Master¡¯s cave dwelling, considering whether he should participate in the inter-sect tournament. The rewards were not important, what was important was to win glory for the alchemists. Dong Xi was sparring with the Senior Brothers of the Sword Sect after receiving Song Qingfeng¡¯s message. She was struck down by the Senior brother¡¯s sword and was forced back dozens of steps, her shoes slightly worn out. Chapter 229 - 229 Master, Your Disciple Is Here 229 Master, Your Disciple Is Here Dong Xi was panting heavily. Hearing the words of her Second Senior Brother in the jade slip, she thought of Master Lingxu. He would not call her unless there was something important. Dong Xi put away the sword in her hand and cupped her fist towards the Senior Brother of Sword Sect. She said, ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. Since Master is looking for me, Junior Sister will take her leave first.¡± Dong Xi quickly rushed over and directly barged into the restriction, not being stopped at all. ¡°Honored Master, your disciple is here!¡± Dong Xi shouted. When Master Lingxu heard Dong Xi¡¯s shout, he immediatelyughed. Seeing Dong Xi enter, Master Lingxu said, ¡°I heard that you¡¯ve been in the Sword Sect for the past few days?¡± Dong Xi was taken aback. She did not know if her Master Lingxu was ming her for spending less time on alchemy, but seeing her Master¡¯s smile, she did not think so. Dong Xi did not understand and could only honestly say, ¡°Yes, I was.¡± ¡°Little Xi, are you going to participate in the inter-sect tournament?¡± Master Lingxu continued. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and said, ¡°Master, I really don¡¯t have such intention. You see, I¡¯m only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement right now. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t beat anyone in the tournament, right? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be eliminated.¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment before continuing, ¡°But by participating in the sect¡¯spetition, I can train mybat experience.¡± Master Lingxu took out a green stone and said, ¡°Take this and try refining it when you return to your cave.¡± The green stone was like an ice stone, but it still felt hot in her hand. Dong Xi looked at the stone curiously. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, What is this?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a fire essence in this stone, ¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°Your fire attribute isn¡¯t that high. If you can refine the fire essence, the fire spiritual energy will have a qualitative change.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes immediately widened, and he said in disbelief, ¡°What? Fire essence!¡± As an alchemist, Dong Xi had naturally heard of fire essence. This was what every alchemist wanted. If there was the help of fire essence during the process of refining medicinal pills, the quality of the medicinal pills would be improved. However, with so many alchemists, fire essence had long be extremely scarce. Only some big shots would have fire essence. As for others, they had only heard of it. Now, Master Lingxu had actually generously given Dong Xi one¡­ Dong Xi was very touched. He said, ¡°Such a good thing, wouldn¡¯t it be better to give it to little Senior Sister?¡± After all, Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi and spiritual roots were a little special, and she did not know what she would be in the future. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Master Lingxu red at her and said, ¡°This is mine, and I can give it to whoever I want to give it to. If I give it to you, you should keep it well! As for your Senior Sister, I¡¯ve already given her other things.¡± Seeing that Dong Xi obediently kept the stone, Master Lingxu said with satisfaction, ¡°That¡¯s right! Chi Yan is a member of the Firebird n, so the temperature of her mes is already very high. Moreover, she has a heavenly spirit root. If she still has this fire essence, Chi Yan won¡¯t need to use it for alchemy in the future.¡± Hearing his Master¡¯s words, Dong Xi immediately recalled the first batch of pills that Little Senior Sister had refined¡­ Dong Xi looked at her Master and said with a smile, ¡°Master, how do we refine this fire essence?¡± Master Lingxu threw a jade slip and a pill to Dong Xi. He said, ¡°I know that you can endure more hardship. It might be more difficult for others to refine this fire essence, but I am an eighth-tier alchemist! At this point, Master Lingxu¡¯s face was filled with pride, and he continued, ¡°Take this pill as you refine the fire essence. This pill can save your life, but the pain you have to endure will not be any less.¡± Dong Xi thought about the benefits of refining the fire essence and thought about his sister who woulde to seek revenge a few yearster¡­ Now, this pain was nothing. Dong Xi had to refine the fire essence! Dong Xi thanked him respectfully but had no intention of leaving. Master Lingxu said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you have anything else to tell me?¡± Dong Xi nodded with a serious expression. It seemed like this was an extremely important matter. This made Master Lingxuugh instead, and he said, ¡°If there¡¯s anything, just say it. I¡¯m your Master, what¡¯s there to be polite about with me?¡± Dong Xi bit her lip and frowned. After thinking for a long time, she said, ¡°Master, you see¡­ Is there a possibility that the spirit root value can increase with age?¡± Master Lingxu said, ¡°That won¡¯t happen. The spirit root value is fixed from birth. Unless one is lucky enough to encounter some natural treasure, it might be able to increase a little. Moreover. it must be extremely lucky¡­¡± Chapter 230 - 230 It Increased? 230 It Increased? As soon as he finished speaking, Master Lingxu seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He looked at Dong Xi in disbelief and said, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Dong Xi knew that her honored Master had already guessed something. Dong Xi sighed and said, ¡°Master, it¡¯s just as you¡¯ve thought. Disciple¡¯s spirit root value has increased.¡± Master Lingxu was extremely shocked, and his expression instantly turned serious. He said, ¡°It increased? How many points? When will you find out?¡± ¡°When we first arrived here, the spirit root value you tested for me was different from when we first entered the sect,¡± said Dong Xi immediately. ¡°At that time, I thought that there was a problem with the spirit testing stone.¡± When Master Lingxu heard this, he looked at Dong Xi nervously and excitedly. How many years had it been since he was so excited? ¡°How many points did it increase by?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s not much. Every spirit root increased by one or two points. Later on, I became a disciple of the Sword Sect¡¯s Master Yijian and tested my spirit root again. This time, it increased. The fire spirit root increased by five points. The others also increased by two or three points. I thought that it couldn¡¯t be that every spirit testing stone had a problem, right? Only then did he remember it in his heart and thought of finding a spirit testing stone to test it again, but unexpectedly¡­ I was busy waiting and forgot¡­¡± When Master Lingxu heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was furious. How could she have forgotten such an important matter? Of course, now was not the time to reprimand her. Master Lingxu immediately took out the spirit testing stone and handed it to Dong Xi. ¡°Let¡¯s test it now,¡± Dong Xi knew that her Master was seeking confirmation. Thinking that there should not be any problems, she ced her hand on the spirit testing stone. A few colors appeared. Dong Xi looked at the number on the spirit testing stone jumping and finally stopped¡­ After frowning and looking at it for a long time, Master Lingxu lightly coughed a few times and put away the spirit testing stone. He then looked at Dong Xi again and said, ¡°Little Xi, what was your rank when you first entered? I¡¯m old and can¡¯t remember many things.¡± Lingxu was extremely embarrassed, but Dong Xi did not mind. She directly told Lingxu the number when he first entered the sect, and said that he was morefortable in refining pills now. Master Lingxu began to ponder. Master Lingxu had lived for a few hundred years, but this was the first time he had seen such a situation. ¡°Focus, I¡¯ll check,¡± Master Lingxu said. Dong Xi obediently did as she was told and felt her Master¡¯s hands on her back. After entering the sect for so long, this was the first time that her Master had inspected the condition of Dong Xi¡¯s body. However, Dong Xi suddenly remembered that her Master might be able to discover the inner core of the giant snake in her Dantian. Hmm? What to do? How should she exin this? ¡®It¡¯s over,¡¯ Dong Xi thought quickly, her heart beating faster and faster. Master Lingxu also noticed that Dong Xi was overly nervous. He retracted his hands and lowered his head to look at his nervous disciple. He then said in a soft voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s a good thing that your spirit root value has increased. Many people can¡¯t even get it even if they beg for it.¡± Dong Xi realized that his Master did not seem to have discovered the inner core, but she was still a little worried. Dong Xi probed, ¡°Master, am I alright?¡± Master Lingxu shook his head and said with a frown, ¡°It seems like there¡¯s no problem. How¡¯s your spiritual energy?¡± Dong Xi stretched out her hand, and a ball of dark purple spirit Qi appeared in her palm. Instantly, Master Lingxu¡¯s eyes widened, and he said, ¡°Little Xi, you¡­ Your spiritual energy is like this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t you only have fire, wood, and earth spirit roots?¡± Master Lingxu asked curiously. If the spiritual Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s hand was one of the three colors, Lingxu would not be so surprised. Dong Xi nodded again. She changed her mind, and the spiritual Qi in his palm also changed. It was like a colorful light, and in the end, it was still dark purple. Master Lingxu was very emotional. He had thought that he had seen everything after living for hundreds of years. He never thought that every time this little disciple of his would appear, making him feel like an ignorant child who had not seen much of the world. First, it was the spirit body, then the rise of the spirit root value, and¡­ spiritual Qi that could be fused. Just now, Master Lingxu had checked Dong Xi¡¯s root bone and meridians. There were no problems, especially Dong Xi¡¯s meridians, which were extremely wide and seemed to have been specially tempered. This girl could cultivate so quickly while tempering her meridians? Moreover, she had three spirit roots. If word of this got out, many people would be shocked. Fortunately, at that time, Master Lingxu had taken a fancy to Dong Xi¡¯sprehension in alchemy and had epted her as a disciple despite the objections of the masses. Otherwise, with Dong Xi¡¯s aptitude, whether it was for cultivation or other things, this precious jade would be wasted! Chapter 231 - 231 Positive Development 231 Positive Development Once again, Master Lingxu sighed with emotion. Back then, he had a discerning eye while thinking about Dong Xi¡¯s physical condition. Master Lingxu said, ¡°In my opinion, the reason why your spiritual Qi and spirit roots are special should be rted to your physique. A good physique is like fertile soil, no matter what you nt, it will grow well.¡± Dong Xi felt that what her master said was right, and she was not worried about it. Everything was developing in a positive way, which was a good thing that many people could only wish for. Dong Xi said it because she felt that she should tell the truth to her teacher so that she would not have to hide it in the future. Even after Dong Xi left, the smile on Master Lingxu¡¯s face did not drop. It was better to be happy together than to be happy alone. Master Lingxu decided to go to Destiny Valley again. Last time, the Elder of Destiny Valley had given him a divination and asked Master Lingxu to take in a disciple. It was all thanks to this divination. Otherwise, he would have missed out on such a good disciple. Lingxu came to the front of the Elder of Destiny Valley and saw from afar that the Elder of Destiny Valley was ying chess with a young man. ¡°You¡¯re in a good mood today?¡± Master Lingxu stepped forward and asked. The Elder of Destiny Valley looked up and saw that it was Master Lingxu. He put down the chess piece in his hand and said with a smile, ¡°I knew early in the morning that there would be an important guest today, so I just yed chess with Junior Brother and waited.¡± When Master Lingxu heard this, he looked at the young man in surprise. The young man was dressed in a green robe and his body was rather thin. The young man raised his head and looked at Master Lingxu. Only then did Lingxu realize that the young man¡¯s face was a little pale, and his eyes were also gray. This young man¡­ Mo Han raised his hands and said, ¡°I am Mo Han of Destiny Valley. Senior Brother said in the morning that there would be an important guest. So it turned out to be you, Master Lingxu. I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± Master Lingxu knew about the quacks of Destiny Valley. Other people took one step at a time, but these quacks took one step and watched three steps. This Master Mo Han is also here. The chances of it being a coincidence are very small, and there¡¯s a high probability that he¡¯s waiting for Master Lingxu. The Elder of Destiny Valley looked at Master Lingxu with a strange expression, and the Elder said, ¡°Master Lingxu, my Junior Brother is sick. I knew that you wereing today, so I wanted to ask you to help him.¡± Sick? How could a person in the cultivation world fall sick? even if it was an illness borrowed from the mother¡¯s womb, there were pills that could cure it. The so-called illness was probably poison or a curse¡­ Master Lingxu looked at Mo Han, but he could not guess what it was¡­ Mo Han noticed that Master Lingxu was looking at him with his gray eyes. He did not avoid it, but let Master Lingxu look at him. Mo Han¡¯s eyes had been bad for a long time. Fortunately, people in the Immortal cultivation world could still use their spiritual sense. Even if they could see with their eyes, they could observe in detail with their spiritual sense. Master Lingxu retracted his gaze and looked at the Elder beside him. He said, ¡°Master Mo Han, where do you feel ufortable?¡± The Elder of Destiny Valley sighed and looked at Mo Han beside him. The Elder said, ¡°Junior Brother, you can tell me personally.¡± Mo Han¡¯s pale face was emotionless, and his hair was draped behind him. Mo Han was clear about his body¡¯s condition. Now, this Master Lingxu should not be able to cure him. Mo Han said with a smile, ¡°Master Lingxu, I¡¯ve peeked into the heaven¡¯s secrets. Because of that, my eyes are destroyed.¡± The Elder of Destiny Valley became anxious when he heard Mo Han avoiding the important part. The Elder of Destiny Valley said immediately, ¡°It¡¯s not just my eyes. My body is also damaged. It¡¯s like a broken pocket. No matter how much spiritual energy I absorb, it will all dissipate in the end. My cultivation has not improved for decades.¡± Master Lingxu was very surprised when he heard this. There would be some bacsh when Destiny Valley peeked into the secrets of heaven, but it was also because they could peek into some of the secrets of heaven that they could obtain some help in their cultivation. However, this young man¡­ What did he see to pay such a price? Master Lingxu looked at Mo Han in shock, and Mo Han smiled helplessly. There was one thing that Mo Han had never told anyone. His current body was even worse. Not only had he not made any progress in his cultivation, but his body was still suffering from the bacsh. If there was no other way, Mo Han would only have a few years left to live. The Elder of Destiny Valley frowned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what kind of heavenly secrets Junior Brother has peeked into¡­¡± Master Lingxu came back to his senses and immediately said, ¡°Master Mo Han, where do you feel ufortable?¡± There were some things that one could not simply listen to. If one knew something that one should not know, one¡¯s Dao heart would be affected. Master Lingxu was already so old and could not bepared to these young people. He did not want to know anything and only wanted to continue living and cultivate. Chapter 232 - 232 High Blood Qi Consumption 232 High Blood Qi Consumption Mo Han looked straight ahead. His eyes were grey and he smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t feel ufortable, but I¡¯ve consumed a lot of blood Qi.¡± After thinking for a moment, Master Lingxu took out two bottles of high-level Blood and Qi Pills and handed them to Mo Han. ¡°You¡¯ve consumed too much blood Qi, so I¡¯ll replenish it first, ¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°As for the bacsh, I¡¯ve never encountered it before. I¡¯ll need to go back and read the ancient books.¡± The Elder of the Destiny Valley took out a jade box and prepared to give it as a gift of thanks. Master Lingxu shook his head and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite. I came here today to thank you. That day, you divined for me and asked me to take in a disciple. Now that I think about it, it¡¯s all thanks to you, Elder. Otherwise, I would have missed out on that good disciple of mine.¡± The Elder of Destiny Valleyughed and said, ¡°It seems that you are very satisfied with your disciple this time, Master Lingxu.¡± Of course, Master Lingxu also wanted to show off, but he thought of Dong Xi¡¯s special characteristics. If others knew about it now, it might be very disadvantageous in the future. In the end, Master Lingxu suppressed his desire to show off. He could just secretly be happy about this. Mo Han listened to the two of them and raised his hand to perform a quick divination. However, just as he was calcting, his Senior Brother immediately grabbed his wrist. ¡°Don¡¯t you remember?¡± the Elder asked. ¡°Master told you not to use divinations anymore.¡± The Elder of Destiny Valley frowned and looked a little unhappy. Junior Brother Mo Han was a few hundred years younger than him. Before the master went into seclusion, he had entrusted this Junior Brother to him. This made the Elder of Destiny Valley experience the pain of raising a child. Mo Han put down his hand obediently and said seriously, ¡°I haven¡¯t done any divinations this month.¡± The Elder of Destiny Valley was speechless. Fortunately, Mo Han did not continue to perform the divination. Mo Han smiled at Master Lingxu and said, ¡°Your disciple is Dong Xi?¡± Instantly, Master Lingxu became alert and said, ¡°How did you know, Mo Han?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard from Senior Brother Li Li that Junior Sister Dong Xi is very interesting,¡± Mo Han said with a smile. Only then did Master Lingxu rx. Li Li and Dong Xi did have a good rtionship. Master Lingxu did not stay for long and returned to the sect. After all, the pressure was especially great when he was with two quacks. Master Lingxu felt that if they continued to chat, he would probably be seen through. As soon as Master Lingxu left, Mo Han also left. Mo Han returned to his yard and took out a tortoiseshell. The tortoiseshell was scattered on the table. Mo Han used his spiritual power and the tortoiseshell cracked open bit by bit. Mo Han¡¯s gray eyes seemed to focus again, but the moment he looked, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Mo Han used a cleaning spell to clean up the blood. He put away the turtle shell and started to stare nkly. It seemed that Dong Xi was indeed not an ordinary person. Mo Han still remembered that in the past, he could still predict Dong Xi¡¯s fate. But now, Dong Xi¡¯s fate seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, and he could not see it clearly at all. Thinking back to when Senior Brother Li Li had read Dong Xi¡¯s fortune, his Dao Heart had almost been thrown into chaos. Mo Han calmed down. Mo Han was not the only one who could not figure out Dong Xi. Mo Han was even more curious about Dong Xi now that he thought about how Senior Brother Li Li had been in seclusion ever since he came back from Dong Xi¡¯s ce. Mo Han had never forgotten that Dong Xi had previously promised to help him be an alchemy master. ¡­ Dong Xi was sitting down and refining pills, and suddenly, she sneezed. Looking at the earth fire in front of him, Dong Xi immediately fell into deep thought. What was going on? Sitting beside the earth fire, Dong Xi actually felt a little cold¡­ Could it be that he had cultivated beside the earth fire for a long time and was already immune to it? Dong Xi used her divine sense to examine her body and saw that her lungs were still wrapped in fire spiritual essence, but it did not seem to have much effect. ¡°It seems I¡¯ll have to find the Thousand-year Extreme Ice as soon as possible,¡± Dong Xi said with a sigh. Although she had to find it, she had to wait until after the inter-sect tournament. For now, Dong Xi Zhu had to first temper his five internal organs with earth fire. The inter-sect tournament was about to begin, and the sect¡¯s selection was also a happy one. In the past two days, everyone in the sect had made full use of their time to cultivate, and Dong Xi almost could not book a slot for the room for her own use. ¡­ Under everyone¡¯s anticipation, the sect¡¯s internal selection began. Almost all the members of the Sword Sect participated, except for some who were in closed-door cultivation. There weren¡¯t many people from the Alchemy Sect. After all, alchemists belonged to the auxiliary category, and theirbat power was not very strong. However, the sect¡¯s rewards were too generous. There were still many people who wanted to give it a try, including the eldest Senior Brother of the alchemy sect, Liang Yan! Of course, there was also Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng. However, he was forced by Master Lingxu to sign up, and had no choice but to participate. Chapter 233 - 233 Why Bother? 233 Why Bother? Song Qingfeng was also helpless. He contributed to the sect¡¯s reward, and now he had to fight for it back? Why? Song Qingfeng wanted to just go through the motions and find a way to be eliminated in the first round. However, Master Lingxu said, ¡°The inter-sect tournament is to fight for the spots for the disciples to enter the Secret Realm in the next 300 years! It might not be much to you, but it¡¯s very important to the sect. If one more person goes in, it will increase the chance of obtaining the inheritance. You¡¯ve been there, but your two Junior Sisters haven¡¯t. If you can get into the top three, I will allow you to go to the human world once.¡± Hearing his Master¡¯s words, Song Qingfeng immediately became serious. He said, ¡°Master, are you serious?¡± !! ¡°Of course I¡¯m serious,¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°As long as you can get into the top three, I¡¯ll let you go to the human world once.¡± ¡°Okay, it¡¯s a deal!¡± Song Qingfeng immediately said. Then, Song Qingfeng left Master Lingxu¡¯s cave. Sitting on the futon, Master Lingxu looked at Song Qingfeng¡¯s departing figure and began to ponder. Why did this disciple of his want to go to the human world so much? It was not that he forbade Song Qingfeng from going there. When he went to the human world, he could not help but interfere in the human world¡¯s affairs. If Master Lingxu did not stop him in time, Song Qingfeng would have made a big mistake. If Song Qingfeng really went this time, he had to find a way to restrain him. However, the condition was that Song Qingfeng had to be in the top three. ¡­ Liang Yan was very surprised to see Song Qingfeng here. Song Qingfeng stood beside Liang Yan. Liang Yan could not help but say, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I just want to bring glory to the sect,¡± Song Qingfeng said lightly. Liang Yan was speechless. If that was the case, wouldn¡¯t Liang Yan¡¯s little n be a little embarrassing? Song Qingfeng noticed that Liang Yan was staring at him and could not help but say, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Of course, Liang Yan could not tell him the truth. He coughed and said, ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s to bring glory to our sect.¡± The two of them looked at each other for a moment, but neither of them could figure out the other¡¯s intention. Liang Yan thought that Song Qingfeng had his eyes on one of the rewards, while Song Qingfeng thought that the Eldest Senior Brother had been forced toe by his master. Only Dong Xi hade to participate in the real fight. Dong Xi and Ke Xin were standing together. ¡°Sister, did you also participate in the fight?¡± asked Dong Xi. Ke Xin winked at Dong Xi, signaling for her toe closer. Dong Xi immediately moved closer. Ke Xin whispered, ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m just here to show off. My cultivation level is not good, but I¡¯ve been cultivating very hard for the past eight years. I don¡¯t know about it usually, but I¡¯ll know immediately when I get on the arena. If I can enter the inner sect, I won¡¯t have to wait for the next inter-sect tournament to work hard.¡± The two of them had entered the sect in the same batch. In the past two years, Ke Xin had slowly shed her child-like appearance and started to look like a young girl. Ke Xin was now slightly taller than Dong Xi, and her figure had started to develop. Dong Xi could not help but nod in agreement. The great ideological educator had once said that opportunities were reserved for those who were prepared! If one had only trained hard in seclusion, it would have been difficult for others to see it. Now that Ke Xin had performed well, she would naturally have more opportunities than those who only trained hard. ¡°Sister, what¡¯s your current cultivation level?¡± asked Dong Xi. Ke Xin was a little vexed. She sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯m only one step away from the fourth level of Qi Refinement. Your previous thoughts were right. If I were to temper my meridians at the same time, my cultivation speed would be much slower.¡± Dong Xi thought Ke Xin was going to waver again, but Ke Xin continued, ¡°But it¡¯s nothing. Although it¡¯s slow, I realized that I¡¯m absorbing spiritual Qi faster than others. I think it¡¯s rted to the tempering of meridians. My spiritual Qi is more solid and beneficial than others of the same cultivation. As for my cultivation speed, it¡¯s not much slower. It¡¯s eptable.¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ke Xin¡¯s words. She said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Your fire spirit root value isn¡¯t bad. You can try to use the alchemy room¡¯s Earth Fire to cultivate.¡± Ke Xin remembered this sentence and would even draw inferences from it. For example, things like Earth Fire, Mountain Fire, and so on could all be tried¡­ While the two of them were chatting, almost all the disciples had arrived. The entire square was filled with people, even more than the day of the soul gathering. It seemed that the prizes for this inter-sect tournament were extremely attractive. Although Dong Xi had not been in the sect for long, she knew many people, but there were many strangers he had never seen before. However, these people had reserved spiritual Qi and thick auras, and almost all of them had the waist token of an inner disciple. They should be the leading figures of their respective sects. Chapter 234 - 234 The Arena Battle 234 The Arena Battle This was only the primary selection stage, so the Sect Master would note. He would only let the sect¡¯s eldest disciplee to preside over it. The eldest disciple of the Sect Master took out his Sect Master¡¯s token, and 30 arenas appeared on the square. The head¡¯s eldest disciple read out the rules, then used a magic tool to choose a number. The chosen one would go up to the arena topete. If the person who had chosen a number did not arrive in 15 minutes, it was considered a forfeit. Dong Xi was at the Qi Refinement stage, so her number would usually be in the 1st to 10th ring. !! During the registration, there was a special test of cultivation. The sect would separate the more powerful disciples to avoid meeting them in the first round. Qi Refinement stage disciples like Dong Xi could be said to be cannon fodder and would not fight to the end. Those who could make it all the way to the end were all at the tenth level of the least Qi Refinement stage. Some inner sect disciples would also cultivate to the twelfth level of Qi Refinement in order to be better in the future. There would be a huge gap between these disciples and the other disciples. For example, Dong Xi and the others could not beat them at all. Dong Xi was very self-aware, she had signed up for a fight and just wanted to test out her swordsmanship and movement technique. She did not want to win. Ayer of protective shield protected the 30 rings, and the numbers on it kept on rolling. Dong Xi was number 172. Dong Xi was not among the disciples drawn in the first round. ¡°Little Xi, Little Xi, it¡¯s Chi Yan!¡± Ke Xin shouted excitedly. ¡°Arena number 3, let¡¯s hurry over and take a look?¡± Dong Xi looked over and saw Chi Yan standing on the third arena. She was tall and had an overbearing aura, like a sharp sword. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and take a look!¡± Dong Xi immediately said. After saying that, the two of them ran towards the third arena. Many people, like Dong Xi and the others, ran to the third arena. Chi Yan had joined the sect at the same time as them, and was the strongest person in this group. Everyone wanted to know how big the gap was between her and Chi Yan. Apart from Dong Xi and the other disciples, the rest of the people did not care much. After all, the cultivation of this group of disciples was very low. In the eyes of high-level cultivators, a battle at this level was like child¡¯s y. Dong Xi brought Ke Xin and squeezed through the crowd with all her might before she managed to reach the front. Chi Yan¡¯s disciples had entered the sect earlier than them, and had only cultivated for a dozen years more. This person was already at the eighth level of the Qi Refinement stage, two levels higher than Chi Yan. Furthermore, he also had three spirit roots. It was normal for him to reach the eighth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Those who had better aptitudes would cultivate two more cultivation realms, and by then, they would have a perfect foundation. However, this senior disciple brother could not do that. It was extremely difficult to reach the perfected Foundation Establishment stage. If he missed it, it would be even more difficult to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the future. The only reason he participated in thispetition was topare notes with everyone. He had never thought that he would encounter Chi Yan as soon as he came up. Everyone in the sect knew that Chi Yan had a heavenly spirit root. When she cultivated, she would make rapid progress. Now, they could still spar on the same stage, but the next time, they would be in a different realm. In the face of a genius like Chi Yan, although this Senior Brother¡¯s cultivation was slightly higher, he did not dare to be arrogant. ¡°I¡¯m a talisman grandmaster, An Yu. Please enlighten me, Junior Sister,¡± An Yu cupped her fists and said. ¡°Chi Yan, swordsman master,¡± said Chi Yan with cupped fists. Then, the zing me sword appeared in Chi Yan¡¯s hand. Chi Yan¡¯s surrounding spiritual energy fluctuated, and the red feathers on her head were like swaying mes. Although Chi Yan¡¯s cultivation level was slightly lower, when she looked at An Yu¡¯s serious expression, it seemed as if Chi Yan¡¯s cultivation level was higher. There were also rules in such apetition. Any equipment was allowed, and there were no level restrictions as long as it could be used. After all, equipment was also a form of strength. Chi Yan¡¯s magic weapon was the raging me sword in his hand, while An Yu took out a talisman. Dong Xi had also seen Second Senior Brother use talismans to destroy demon beasts in the past. It was also because of that time that Dong Xi had a big misunderstanding about the attack power of talisman cultivation. Dong Xi believed that all the talisman cultivators did was seals to attack. No matter if it was for attack or defense, as long as one threw out a lot of talisman papers, it would exhaust the other party to death. Now, An Yu, who waspeting with Chi Yan, kept retreating with his body movement technique and asionally threw out a few talismans to attack. There were even times when it would take him a long time to throw out a talisman. Dong Xi was a little anxious. Dong Xi did not think about how many missions his group of little disciples needed toplete in order to exchange for a set of cinnabar and a professional talisman paper. Even if they made all of them themselves and could save resources, they had to spend money making talismans, and it was not a 100 percent sess rate. How could anyone be willing to throw them all out at once? They were not throwing talismans, but spirit stones! Cultivators of the fire spirit root had a bad temper, not to mention that Chi Yan had a heavenly spirit root. After failing to touch him several times, she was instantly enraged. Chapter 235 - 235 Return of the Thousand Swords 235 Return of the Thousand Swords Chi Yan stood on the spot and cast a spell. The fire spiritual energy instantly enveloped Chi Yan¡¯s body and she threw the sword into the air. The zing me sword split into countless pieces in the air¡­ Chi Yan looked at An Yu, raised her hand, and slowly put it down. She said, ¡°Return of the Thousand Swords!¡± The swords in the air all fell from the sky. An Yu instantly sensed danger, but he did not know which one was real and which one was just a sword shadow. An Yu thought for a moment and threw out a defensive talisman. The rain of swords hit the protective shield, making deafening sounds. When the dust on the arena cleared, everyone saw Chi Yan holding the zing me sword and pointing it at An Yu¡¯s throat. ¡°Please yield, Senior Brother,¡± said Chi Yan. An Yu smiled helplessly, cupped his fists, and left the ring. As expected, no matter how hard he tried, he was powerless when it came to talent. He was clearly two levels higher than Chi Yan, but he still lost. Chi Yan looked at An Yu¡¯s departing figure and heard everyone¡¯s cheers. She frowned, turned back to her original form, and flew away. Chi Yan¡¯s match had ended, and the second match was about to begin. The other supporters immediately ran over. Dong Xi immediately took out her little green leaf. After she went up, she grabbed Ke Xin and chased after Chi Yan. ¡°Little Senior Sister has won,¡± Ke Xin said. ¡°Why isn¡¯t she happy?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. I¡¯ll askter,¡± said Dong Xi, shaking her head. Chi Yan flew for a long time before she realized that someone was following her. She immediately stopped. Dong Xi also caught up. Dong Xi said, ¡°We¡¯ve finally caught up. Congrattions, Little Senior Sister, you¡¯ve won your first battle!¡± ¡°As expected,¡± Chi Yan nodded. Chi Yan¡¯s cultivation was not very high, but the cultivation techniques and sword techniques she cultivated were all top-notch, so she could definitely fight above her level. Dong Xi saw that Chi Yan was still frowning. Dong Xi said, ¡°Little Senior Sister, why are you so unhappy?¡± ¡°I think that I have dealt a blow on Senior Brother,¡± Chi Yan sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that his Dao Heart will be unstable.¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°Little Senior Sister, everyone¡¯s personality is different. Some people have weak endurance. If he didn¡¯t meet you today, it would have been the same when he fought someone else. You don¡¯t have to me yourself. If you think that his Dao Heart is unstable because he lost to you, do you think that everyone will have to give in to him for the rest of his life? It¡¯s still fine in the sect, but when he goes out in the future, he¡¯ll also encounter life and death. What should he do then?¡± Chi Yan fell silent and began to think. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Little Senior Sister, don¡¯t worry. Since you¡¯ve chosen to cultivate, you¡¯ll all be very strong. That Senior Brother must have experienced a lot to be able to reach the eighth level of the Qi Refinement stage.¡± Chi Yan seemed to have thought things through and no longer frowned. ¡°Thank you for yourfort, Junior Sister,¡± said Chi Yan with cupped fists. ¡°You didn¡¯t have a match today?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen it yet.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. ¡°I told Senior Sister Wang Ying, who¡¯s in charge of recording, that she¡¯ll inform me immediately if it¡¯s my turn.¡± Chi Yan raised her eyebrows, looked at Dong Xi, and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine now. You can go back and watch the show.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing much to see, I¡¯d better go back and cultivate,¡± said Dong Xi. When Chi Yan heard this, she immediately admired Dong Xi. No wonder her two masters said that Dong Xi was the most hardworking. Now, she even used such a small amount of time to cultivate. Chi Yan said, ¡°Alright, I look forward to the day I have a match with you, Junior Sister!¡± Hearing Chi Yan¡¯s words, Dong Xi could not help but say, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be waiting for that day too!¡± ¡­ After sending Ke Xin back to the outer sect, Dong Xi returned to her own cave. Now, Dong Xi would help Su Cheng remove the poison in his body every day. After Dong Xi¡¯s removal treatment, the poison in Su Cheng¡¯s body reduced a lot. Su Cheng could even transform his legs, that was¡­ He limped a little when he walked. When Dong Xi entered the cave, Su Cheng immediately revealed his tail andy on the bed. Dong Xi seemed to have seen something, but she was not sure and suspected that he was seeing things. ¡°Your legs¡­¡± Dong Xi said. Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Su Cheng interrupted, ¡°I¡¯m a snake, I don¡¯t have legs,¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi with aplicated look in his eyes. He pursed his lips and looked a little noble. Seeing that Dong Xi was still in a daze, Su Cheng exined, ¡°You¡¯ve seen a snake with legs?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Su Cheng was right, Dong Xi had never seen a snake with legs. However, this was not Su Cheng¡¯s original body. ¡°The snake race can also transform into a human¡­¡± said Dong Xi, ¡°But can¡¯t they transform legs?¡± This doesn¡¯t sound right¡­ Dong Xi still remembered that thest time the big snake saved her, he had had a pair of long legs! Chapter 236 - 236 Of Course You Can 236 Of Course You Can Su Cheng coughed and said proudly, ¡°Of course you can, but¡­ I disdain it.¡± Dong Xi was once again speechless¡­ Ha, the big snake is noble, the big snake is amazing. If you¡¯s so amazing, don¡¯t use your legs for the rest of your life. Dong Xi stepped forward and helped Su Cheng remove the poison from his body. After she was done, she took out another bottle of pills and threw it at him. She was not gentle at all. This time, Su Cheng did not care about these details at all. His divine sense was always behind Dong Xi, watching her go far away and nevere back. Su Cheng looked at his own tail and once again summoned his legs and walked a few steps. Su Cheng helplessly turned back into a tail and thought about how long it would take to recover. In about half a year, Su Cheng¡¯s leg would be back to normal. At that time, Su Cheng would return to the Demon Realm. Dong Xi did not know what Su Cheng was thinking. She returned to the courtyard, sat on the futon, and took out themunication jade slip. The little monk Kong Xing sent a few messages and Dong Xi opened them. [Sage Herb, Cold Moon Flower, Ancient Dragon¡¯s Bile Rose¡­] [Junior Sister doesn¡¯t need to thank me for the Youth Pill recipe. If you can make it in the future, just give one to Senior Brother.] The Youth Pill, just from its name, one could tell that as long as one ate this pill, one would be forever young. This kind of pill was very popr. The beautifying pill and the beautifying pill had the same effect, but they could only maintain the effects for a short period of time. Compared to the technology from his previous life, this painless and simple method waspletely understandable. As for this Youth Pill, Dong Xi had also seen it in a book before, but there was no pill form in the book. She did not know how Kong Xing had obtained it. Dong Xi replied to Kong Xing with doubt. [Senior Brother, you¡¯re amazing! Where did you find this pill recipe?] At this time, Kong Xing had been captured by his master and brought back to the sect to participate in the greatpetition. He sat on his master¡¯s magical artifact, his legs firmly restrained, unable to escape. Fortunately, his hands could still move freely. When he saw Dong Xi¡¯s reply, he immediately replied. [Didn¡¯t I say that I¡¯m going to a Secret Realm to study formations? Even if I found the pill form there, it¡¯s useless for me to hold onto it. I immediately remembered that Junior Sister is an alchemist, so I sent it to you.] After Dong Xi saw it, he was very touched and replied. [Senior Brother, you¡¯re so righteous. I thought you bought it with spirit stones.] Kong Xing was afraid that Dong Xi would misunderstand, and immediately replied. [Junior Sister, don¡¯t worry. I can exchange the pill recipe for spirit stones.] Dong Xi was speechless. I wouldn¡¯t have been so touched if I had known this would happen. However, Dong Xi had also learned it. If she encountered any formation in the future, she could copy it and send it to Kong Xing before selling it. This way, she could give it to Kong Xing and exchange it for spirit stones. Dong Xi memorized the pill recipe. When she had time, she would find that rich Second Senior Brother and have a good business talk. Dong Xi was only a teenager this year, and her face had not yet fully developed. Her body was still developing. If she ate the Youth Pill now, she would probably go crazy if she were to see this appearance for the rest of his life! It was better to earn money first and eat it after ten years. Dong Xi was investing in technology, and Second Senior Brother was so rich. If he provided the people and the venue, both of them would make a profit. Dong Xi immediately sent a message to Song Qingfeng. [Are you there, Second Senior Brother? Junior Sister has a business deal that I want to talk to you about.] Song Qingfeng sat on the stage, bored. He was helping his master to see if anyone would use dirty tricks. When he saw his Junior Sister¡¯s message, he immediatelyughed. A business deal? This girl probably did not know what business was, right? Song Qingfeng replied. [Tell me, what kind of deal?] Dong Xi immediately replied. [Second Senior Brother, are you interested in the sales share of the Youth Pill?] Youth Pill? Song Qingfeng immediately became serious. Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng. If it was any other business, Song Qingfeng would justugh it off. But this was the Youth Pill! In the world of cultivators, no matter male or female, everyone wanted to be young forever. Luckily, Song Qingfeng was still young and had already reached the Golden Core stage. If he had to wait for a few more years, he would probably be as old as his master. The female cultivators, in particr, would spend a lot of money on such Youth Pills. The men were better off, but they also spent a lot of spirit stones every year to maintain their appearance. If one had to ask Song Qingfeng how he knew all this, Song Qingfeng had a simple answer. The Feather Clothing Pavilion was opened by Song Qingfeng. Song Qingfeng took the jade slip and replied to the message seriously. [Junior Sister, do you really have a Youth Pill? This is no joke.] Even though Song Qingfeng was excited, he did not lose his mind and asked again. Chapter 237 - 237 Do I Still Need to Look For You? 237 Do I Still Need to Look For You? In Song Qingfeng¡¯s eyes, Dong Xi was still young and did not understand many things. It was not surprising that she was unable to distinguish between pills. This matter was too important, and she had to check it carefully. There could not be any mistakes. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng¡¯s message and frowned. Dong Xi quickly replied. [Second Senior Brother, there¡¯s a difference between the middleman of the Youth Pill and the Beauty Pill! If it¡¯s just a Beauty Pill, why would I need to find you?] Seeing this message, Song Qingfeng was very excited and quickly replied. [Very good! There¡¯s still one more question, how did you get this pill recipe? Is it through formal channels?] Although he asked, Song Qingfeng already had an idea in his heart. Whether it was through legal channels or not, he must keep the pill recipe! Dong Xi replied half-heartedly. [I can¡¯t say, I can¡¯t say.] It was not that he was being perfunctory, but after Kong Xing gave the pill recipe, he had specifically instructed Dong Xi not to tell anyone that it was Kong Xing who gave it to her. Song Qingfeng was silent for a moment after reading the message and then replied. [It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to say it. How do you want to cooperate?] As long as it was the real Youth Pill, Song Qingfeng had to cooperate no matter what. Dong Xi immediately sent a message. [I¡¯ll give you the recipe. Senior Brother, for every pill you sell, you have to give me a share of the profit.] Song Qingfeng smiled and replied. [No problem, 20 ¨C 80 split.] Dong Xi frowned and then replied seriously. [I¡¯m just giving you a pill recipe, and you¡¯re giving me 80 percent? Isn¡¯t that too¡­] Song Qingfeng was so angry that he wanted tough. [Are you dreaming? You¡¯ll take 20 percent!] Dong Xi was immediately very dissatisfied and replied. [If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll ask someone else. There must be someone who¡¯s willing to cooperate.] Song Qingfeng gritted his teeth in anger and immediately sent a voice message, ¡°At most 30 percent. Don¡¯t go too far. Whether it¡¯s alchemy or operating in theter stages, there are costs. If you want more, I don¡¯t think I can work with you.¡± Dong Xi also knew when to stop. Cooperating with outsiders would also make things tricky. Dong Xi immediately sent a message. [Okay, it¡¯s decided then.] The two of them were very satisfied with their cooperation. Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng¡¯s happy face and could not help but say, ¡°Junior Brother, what good news is this? You¡¯re so happy?¡± Song Qingfeng looked at Liang Yan and seemed to remember something. He then looked at the Senior Brother seriously. ¡°Senior Brother,¡± Song Qingfeng said, ¡°didn¡¯t you want to know how to earn spirit stones before? I have a good idea right now, do you want toe along?¡± Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng grew up together. Seeing Song Qingfeng like this, Liang Yan knew that Song Qingfeng was about to scheme against someone. Moreover, the person Song Qingfeng wanted to scheme against was Liang Yan. However, when Liang Yan heard that he could earn spirit stones, he was very tempted. ¡°Tell me,¡± said Liang Yan. Just as Song Qingfeng was about to say something, the Sect Master¡¯s disciple looked over. Song Qingfeng immediately shut up and secretly sent a voice transmission to Liang Yan. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°After today¡¯spetition is over, let¡¯s go to Little Junior Sister¡¯s cave to discuss it.¡± Dong Xi was still practicing her swordsmanship in the distance. She only stopped cultivating when he felt the fluctuation of the restriction. It turned out to be Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother. Dong Xi was very curious. If Second Senior Brother was here to discuss business, then what was Eldest Senior Brother doing here? Song Qingfeng walked into the restriction and saw that Dong Xi¡¯s cave was almost barren, and there was nothing much in it. He did not want to go in. After a moment of hesitation, he took out a table and chair from his storage ring and set them up Dong Xi did not care at all and directly said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, why are you two here together?¡± ¡°I brought Eldest Senior Brother with me,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°Of course we¡¯ll earn money together.¡± As he spoke, Song Qingfeng felt a little thirsty, but there was nothing in the yard. Song Qingfeng said with disdain, ¡°What, you don¡¯t have any tea?¡± ¡°I have some Fasting Pills here, do you want to take one, Senior Brother?¡± Dong Xi said. Song Qingfeng sighed and took out the tea leaves and teapot. He said, ¡°I won¡¯te to your ce in the future. If I do, I¡¯ll have to prepare everything by myself.¡± Liang Yan looked at the interaction between the two of them and could not help but say, ¡°Song Qingfeng, what¡¯s your method of earning spirit stones? Don¡¯t keep us in suspense.¡± Song Qingfeng looked at Liang Yan and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother, Junior Sister and I want to do business. We just need someone to refine pills. Do you want to join us?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, he immediately understood that Song Qingfeng had asked Eldest Senior Brother to work for him! When Liang Yan heard this, he stood up and was about to leave. Liang Yan said, ¡°I thought it was some good method, but turns out its just alchemy. I can do it myself.¡± Chapter 238 - 238 Are They All at This Price? 238 Are They All at This Price? Song Qingfeng immediately shouted, ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t be in such a hurry to leave! It¡¯s not an ordinary pill this time, it¡¯s a Youth Pill.¡± Liang Yan stopped and frowned. Song Qingfeng knew that his Eldest Senior Brother should have understood. Song Qingfeng quickly continued, ¡°Senior Brother, when you refine supreme-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pills, each pill will sell for a few hundred spirit stones at most, and it¡¯s a mid-grade one, right? After deducting the cost, there isn¡¯t much profit from a furnace of pills.¡± Liang Yan pondered for a moment and nodded to show that he was right. Unless it was a high-tier medicinal pill, there was no way they could earn much. However, the materials required for these high-tier pills were extremely rare, and it was impossible to refine them inrge quantities. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°This Youth Pill is different. You can¡¯t even imagine how much the cultivation world pursues good looks. Just one pill can be hyped up and sold for thousands of spirit stones. It has to be the top-grade.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Song Qingfeng looked at Liang Yan¡¯s expression and said with a smile, ¡°Most importantly, this pill is only a fifth-tier pill. I¡¯ve seen it, and the materials required are very simple. It can be mass-produced.¡± As soon as Song Qingfeng finished, Liang Yan said excitedly, ¡°How do we split the profits?¡± Song Qingfeng looked at Liang Yan in surprise. He said, ¡°Share? Senior Brother, I¡¯m buying them by the pill if you can make them!¡± Liang Yan frowned and said, ¡°I heard it clearly just now. You said you would give Little Junior Sister 30 percent of the profit. Howe I don¡¯t have any? And you¡¯re only buying the pills I make?¡± ¡°Senior Brother,¡± Song Qingfeng sighed and said, ¡°the key is that your job is very receable.¡± Liang Yan wanted to refuse, but Song Qingfeng continued, ¡°If you can make them, I¡¯ll give you 10 top-quality spirit stones for each one. I¡¯ll also provide the materials. Senior Brother, can you consider it?¡± When Liang Yan heard the price, he immediately said, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s decided then.¡± At this moment, Liang Yan finally understood why his Little Junior Sister always pursued perfection when she was refining pills. That was not alchemy, it was spirit stones! One pill was worth ten supreme-grade spirit stones, and the pills she refined were always perfect, so she could earn more. He would be able to return the half a spirit vein he owed sooner orter! The three of them discussed their conditions and left. Dong Xi watched the two walk away and was just about to continue practicing her sword when she discovered that the restriction had been touched again. Dong Xi opened the restriction and found that Second Senior Brother had returned. Dong Xi was a bit confused, but Song Qingfeng said seriously, ¡°Little Junior Sister, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t tell me where the recipe came from. But I want to ask if you¡¯re willing to sell the recipe. If it can be sold, we¡¯ll buy it at a high price. The recipe will only be in our hands, and we can sell it for a good price.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she nodded. She also knew about monopolizing the market. Moreover, if they were going to sell it, they might as well sell it to Second Senior Brother directly! Dong Xi thought for a moment and said, ¡°Senior Brother, I can go and ask, but I don¡¯t have enough spirit stones. You¡­¡± Song Qingfeng waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. The spirit stones don¡¯t matter. You can just talk about the price.¡± Anyway, at that time, the money for the pill forms would all be earned back from the medicinal pills. After Song Qingfeng left, Dong Xi took out the jade slip and went straight to Kong Xing. After thinking for a long time, Dong Xi let out a small stream. [Senior Brother Kong Xing, are you selling this Youth Pill recipe?] Kong Xing was brought back by his master and locked up in his room. He could only study those formations in his spare time from cultivation. He was very bored. Just then, hismunication jade slip rang. When he saw that it was Dong Xi, he immediately replied. [It¡¯s not sold yet.] With Second Senior Brother paying for it, Dong Xi was naturally rich and generous. She immediately sent a message. [Why don¡¯t you sell it to me directly? You can name the price.] Kong Xing was silent for a moment before replying. [So, the rumors are true. Alchemists are really rich!] If even a Qi Refinement stage pill master could speak so heroically, then would not those high-level pill masters be even grander? Kong Xing did not even dare to think about it. Dong Xi did not know what to say for a moment. Now was not the time to exin, so she could only reply. [My elder brother is paying for it.] Kong Xing thought that since he was going to sell it anyway, he might as well sell it to his Junior Sister. Kong Xing set a conservative price and sent out a message. [Then 300 top-grade spirit stones it is.] Without waiting for Dong Xi¡¯s reply, Kong Xing felt that the price was too high and quickly sent another message. [Expensive? 270 is fine too.] Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi replied. [Senior Brother, did you sell all the previous pill recipes at this price?] Chapter 239 - 239 Almost 239 Almost Kong Xing did not quite understand what he meant. Was it too expensive? Aren¡¯t alchemists very rich? Kong Xing replied honestly. [That¡¯s basically the price.] When Dong Xi saw this news, he knew that Kong Xing had been duped. In the cultivation world, there were many people who had lived for hundreds of years. A simple Buddhist like Kong Xing was too easy to deceive. !! Dong Xi thought of her Second Senior Brother¡¯s words that one pill could be sold for thousands of top-grade spirit stones. Dong Xi simply replied to the message. [Senior Brother, I¡¯ll give you 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. If you have any more pill recipes in the future, you can sell them to me first. How about it?] Kong Xing was speechless. Kong Xing looked on, not quite daring to recognize the words ¡®10,000 top-grade spirit stones¡¯. It was just a pill recipe, how could it be sold for such a high price? Furthermore, this was not some peerless pill recipe, right? The well-behaved Kong Xing hurriedly replied. [Isn¡¯t this too expensive? I can sell it for cheaper. 10,000 is too much¡­] In the end, after several rejections, Dong Xi forcibly bought the pill recipe for 8888 top-grade spirit stones. Dong Xi sent the price directly to her Second Senior Brother. Not long after, the restriction was activated again. Dong Xi hurriedly opened it. A deer was standing outside with a storage bag. He took the storage bag and opened it. It was full of top-grade spirit stones. The beautiful luster made people envious. Just as Dong Xi was about to close the storage bag, a voice transmission talisman flew out. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°I¡¯ve checked it once with my spiritual sense. It should be enough. Check it again. If it¡¯s not enough, let me know. If there¡¯s any short, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Dong Xi was shocked by Second Senior Brother¡¯s pride. As expected, she still had to hang out with Second Senior Brother. Dong Xi took out all the spirit stones and called Liu Qing over to count them together. She found that there was an extra 30. Previously, she had only epted a set of equipment to help her Second Senior Brother pay off his 60 years of alchemy duty. Now that she had so many top-grade spirit stones, Dong Xi did not dare to keep them. She had to find a time to return them to her Second Senior Brother. As for Kong Xing, she would mail it after the sectpetition ended. On the second day, Dong Xi was still not in the arena. She returned to her cave abode to cultivate, not resting at all. On the third day, Wang Ying sent a message to Dong Xi. [Junior Sister, it¡¯s your turn topete.] He also gave Dong Xi¡¯s opponent¡¯s information. Dong Xi¡¯s opponent was a disciple of the Equipment Refining Sect who was already at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage. He had entered the sect 20 years earlier than Dong Xi and was now only one step away from the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage. There was a saying in the cultivation world that if one sessfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of 30, they could reach the Golden Core stage. If one could not reach Foundation Establishment before the age of 30, then they would just be so-so in this life. This disciple was now 29 years old, and only had one year left. Even though he knew that the chances of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill were slim, he had no choice but to take the risk. When he found out that his opponent was a disciple who had just entered the sect two years ago, Duan Leng felt very lucky. The first round became a guaranteed win. However, Duan Leng knew that his opponent was Dong Xi, and he instantly lost all hope. Dong Xi cultivated non-stop every day. Although she only had three spirit roots, she was indeed a disciple of Daoist Lingxu and Daoist Yijian. In particr, the sword technique Dong Xi disyed on the sword testing stone was seen by everyone. That sword attack also showed Dong Xi¡¯s strength. Although Dong Xi had three spirit roots, Duan Leng did not know what Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation level was. Typically, if a disciple with three spiritual roots was a genius, they could notpare to a disciple with a single spirit root, let alone. genius like Chi Yan. Duan Leng would not lose¡­ When Dong Xi received the news, she immediately used spatial bending and quickly headed to the square. The number 7 arena was upied by Duan Leng, who was already standing on it. Duan Leng looked extremely thin, but he was holding a pair of iron hammers in his hands. Whenpared to his figure, he looked extremely strange. Duan Leng looked at Dong Xi, who was quite a bit shorter. Dong Xi had a high ponytail, and almost all the girls in the sect were like this now. ¡°I am Dong Xi from the Alchemy Sect. Please give me some guidance, Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi with cupped fists. Duan Leng also cupped his fists and said, ¡°I¡¯m Duan Leng from the Equipment Refining Sect. Junior sister, when thepetition begins, I will do my best. I won¡¯t show any mercy.¡± Dong Xi immediately smiled and took out a sword from her storage ring. Dong Xi said, ¡°Very well.¡± Although it was apetition, one still had to use all their strength. If one kept trying to make the other party give in to them, they would have lost from the start. The moment Dong Xi entered the arena, the arena¡¯s restriction was activated. ¡°Look, Junior Sister Dong Xi is on the stage!¡± The people outside the ring shouted. Many disciples of the Sword Sect and the Alchemy Sect were looking at the other arenas casually. When they heard her words, they all gathered around her. Their Junior Sister¡¯s cultivation was not high. She had no advantage in such apetition. They could lose in thepetition, but they could not lose in terms of momentum! Chapter 240 - 240 Please Enlighten Me 240 Please Enlighten Me Dong Xi looked at the crowd that had gathered around her in an instant. Hearing everyone cheering for her, Dong Xi was a little touched. Duan Leng, who was standing opposite him, raised the two hammers in his hands. The two hammers collided with each other, producing a loud sound. ¡°Junior Sister, please enlighten me,¡± Duan Leng said. No matter what, they were still disciples of the same sect sparring, and they would still use peaceful means before resorting to force. Duan Leng immediately swung his twin hammers over. !! There was a strong fluctuation of metal-elemental spiritual energy on the twin hammers, which made the surrounding people a little worried and they began to discuss one after another. ¡°Duan Leng is already at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Will Junior Sister Dong Xi be able to withstand his attacks?¡± ¡°Of course she can¡¯t. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m saying Junior Sister can¡¯t do it, but Junior Sister Dong Xi has only cultivated for two years. Even a genius needs time to grow.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Even if Junior Sister loses, I¡¯ll take revenge for her when this kid fights me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t brag. Your cultivation base is the same as Duan Leng¡¯s. It¡¯s hard to say who will win.¡± ¡°Hmph, at the same cultivation level, no one can win against a sword cultivator.¡± ¡­ Everyone chimed in, saying all sorts of things. There was even someone who directly started a bet. This person said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi¡¯s odds are very high, 36 to 1. If you like it, take a bet!¡± When everyone heard this, they ced their bets. ¡°Of course, we have to bet on Junior Sister¡¯s victory.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. No matter what, we have to bet on Junior Sister.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk about rationality. I¡¯mpletely irrational now. Junior Sister must win!¡± ¡­ Of course, most people were still rational and silently bet on Duan Leng to win. Duan Leng¡¯s hammer smashed down, thinking that Dong Xi would definitely use her movement technique to dodge. However, everyone did not expect Dong Xi to face him directly with a sword. Everyone was stunned. Dong Xi had a thin and weak figure, but she raised her sword to receive Duan Leng¡¯s hammer. Dong Xi slid back for a long time before finally stopping. The floor of the arena was also mostly destroyed. Dong Xi knelt down on one knee, the web between her thumb and forefinger split open, but she could feel the body-tempering cultivation technique given by the snake being activated, and it was helping her body rapidly recover. His entire body, including his cells, felt numb, as if he had just had a good massage. This feeling was really too good! Dong Xi raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead. By doing so, she also smeared some blood onto her face. With a trace of blood on her face, she looked even more wild and beautiful. Her eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Duan Leng¡¯s twin hammers. Dong Xi used her sword to support herself and stood up. ¡°Continue!¡± Dong Xi said. Dong Xi¡¯s appearance shocked many people. These people were guessing how many moves Dong Xi would be able to withstand. Some people thought that if Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique was good, she might be able to hold on for a while. No one had expected that Dong Xi would not use any movement techniques and would directly sh with Duan Leng. Could it be that Junior Sister Dong Xi did not have any movement techniques? Of course not. Many people in the sect had seen Junior Sister Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique. This was like throwing an egg at a rock. Everyone had expected this, but it was not what they had expected. When the crowd saw this scene, they began to discuss. ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi¡­ What¡¯s her current cultivation level?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t see through it at all.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the same, I can¡¯t see through it.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯ve reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but you can¡¯t see through it?¡± ¡°Yes, Junior Sister should have some treasure that can hide her cultivation.¡± Hearing this, everyone fell silent. If Junior Sister was only at the first or second level of Qi Refinement, then wearing a treasure that could hide one¡¯s cultivation level would be meaningless. Thinking about it this way, Junior Sister Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation level was much higher than everyone had imagined. Duan Leng was also very puzzled. Even if he didn¡¯t use his full strength, he had at least used 70 to 80 percent of his strength. Yet, Junior Sister Dong Xi had managed to receive it just like that? From the looks of it, the cultivation of this Junior Sister of his was far higher than what Duan Leng had imagined. However, in the face of absolute strength, all of this was useless. Duan Leng once again raised his hammer and smashed it down, but Dong Xi still met it head-on. This time, after Dong Xi caught it, the second hammer immediately hit the first hammer. Dong Xi¡¯s feet sank into the ground, and the formation flickered slightly to stop Dong Xi from sinking further. Although she did not continue to sink, the pressure of the twin hammers had indeednded on Dong Xi¡¯s body. Dong Xi gritted her teeth and held on. Some blood beads also appeared on the pores on her arm. When she felt that her arms were about to be crippled, the pressure was instantly relieved. It seemed that Dong Xi had managed to withstand the attack. Dong Xi felt a sweet taste in her throat. She knew that it was impossible to temper her body just by relying on body-tempering cultivation techniques. Dong Xi took out a pill and ate it. She immediately felt like he had broken down and then regained her strength. ¡°Continue, Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi said. Duan Leng was extremely shocked, and his expression turned serious. ¡°Then let¡¯s see how long Junior Sister canst,¡± Duan Leng said. More and more people gathered, and even many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core disciples surrounded them. ... Chapter 241 - 241 A Ruthless Person 241 A Ruthless Person The crowd gathered around the arena and started discussing. ¡°This Junior Sister should be a body cultivator.¡± ¡°She¡¯s a ruthless person. Even I, a man, can¡¯t handle the pain of body refinement. Yet, this girl¡­¡± ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi practices basic swordsmanship every day. The stab, the swing¡­ Thousands of times each. This is something very few people can do.¡± !! ¡­ As more and more people started to praise her, a voice suddenly said, ¡°You guys¡­ You¡¯re praising her swordsmanship, but who is she fighting now? She¡¯speting with the Equipment Refining Sect in strength, and she¡¯s still standing!¡± The disciples of the Equipment Refining Sect were very strong and had good endurance. After all, when refining equipment, they had to hammer it thousands of times, so they were much stronger than ordinary cultivators. This disciple¡¯s words instantly reminded everyone, and they fell silent. After they came to their senses, they immediately took out spirit stones and ced them on Dong Xi¡¯s side to bet on her. No one would have thought that a spar between Qi Refinement stage cultivators would be able to make everyone so fascinated. One of the Golden Core disciples was a little hesitant. The person said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi seems to have refined her body with the attack skills of the Equipment Refining Sect¡¯s disciples?¡± The Alchemy Sect¡¯s disciple immediately followed up, ¡°The pill just now was a Vitality Reinforcement Pill. It must be.¡± Another person immediately eximed, ¡°Using other people¡¯s attacks to temper her body? Is she trying to get crippled? That¡¯s really ruthless!¡± ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, how did you do it?¡± someone asked in shock. ¡°Can we all learn it?¡± A warm-hearted person said, ¡°Perhaps it has something to do with a body refining technique. Look at Junior Sister Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Although she can withstand some force, she can instantly distribute it to her entire body. None of us can do it. Without such a technique, imitating Junior Sister is just courting death.¡± One of them immediately reacted and said, ¡°No wonder, no wonder Martial Uncle Yijian took Junior Sister Dong Xi in. This reckless ruthlessness is exactly the same as Martial Uncle Yijian¡¯s in the past! She¡¯s even more brutal than Martial Uncle Yijian!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi could hear all the discussions going on below the stage. However, she could not care less about it. Duan Leng¡¯s attacks were getting more and more intense. Dong Xi was silently calcting how many more of these attacks his body could take. Duan Leng was also in a bad mood, and his expression became more and more serious. At first, he thought that it would be a simple sparring session. However, all of the attacks were blocked by Dong Xi. Duan Leng¡¯s spiritual Qi was being consumed very quickly, but Dong Xi did not attack even once. Duan Leng had thought that with his high cultivation base, he would be able to exhaust all this girl¡¯s spiritual energy. However, he had forgotten that this little girl was an alchemist. She did not feel any heartache at all when she ate medicinal pills. However, what Duan Leng did not know was that Dong Xi had only taken Vitality Reinforcement Pills and not a single Spirit Restore Pill¡­ When Dong Xi received thest hammer attack, she instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her sect robes stuck to her body. Dong Xi knew that she had reached her limit. Dong Xi stood up and ate a Vitality Reinforcement Pill. Dong Xi looked at Duan Leng, and she said, ¡°Senior Brother, I should attack now.¡± Of course, Duan Leng would not give her the chance to do so. He raised the twin hammers in his hands and smashed them down. His spiritual Qi was also stirred up, turning into a copsing vortex. However, in an instant, Dong Xi, who had been locked onto by Duan Leng, disappeared. Dong Xi took a step forward. It was impossible to see how she moved, but she appeared directly beside Duan Leng and pressed the sword in her hand against Duan Leng¡¯s chest. ¡°Do you want to continue, Senior Brother?¡± asked Dong Xi. Duan Leng dispersed his spiritual Qi, feeling a little defeated. He knew that Dong Xi had asked this question to save some face for him. It was impossible for Duan Leng to win, as he could not sense the whereabouts of his Junior Sister Dong Xi at all. He also could not tell how Dong Xi had suddenly appeared. With such a movement technique, she did not even need to use sword techniques to win. ¡°I lost,¡± Duan Leng said with a bitter smile. Just as Dong Xi was about to leave, she seemed to have thought of something and turned around, shouting, ¡°Senior Brother.¡± Duan Leng furrowed his brows, looking as if he had suffered a great blow. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s shout, Duan Leng raised his head and looked over. Dong Xi smiled and directly threw a bottle of pills over. ¡°Thank you very much for today, Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi said. After saying that, Dong Xi sat on the little green leaf and flew away. Don¡¯t ask why it wasn¡¯t the little turtle. The incident of the little turtle flipping overst time was so embarrasing. Dong Xi did not want everyone to remember it. Duan Leng did not understand what Dong Xi was thanking him for. He reached out and caught the pill thrown by Dong Xi. When he opened it, he discovered that it was actually a top-grade Spirit Restore Pill. Duan Leng was extremely shocked. This Junior Sister was too generous. Alchemists were indeed the richest! If every winning disciple could be so generous, Duan Leng would be more than willing to be everyone¡¯s whetstone in the following matches! After all, it was like free money! Chapter 242 - 242 Whetstone 242 Whetstone Duan Leng was still thinking about whether he could be a whetstone when he heard the discussions of the crowd. Only then did he know¡­ He was really being used as a whetstone in this so-calledpetition. How could there be such a crazy person? Relying on being beaten to refine her body? And a little girl at that? How could she dare to do this? As soon as Dong Xi entered the cave, hermunication jade slip lit up. It was a message from Senior Sister Wang Ying. [Junior Sister, the arena is damaged. The repair cost is 1,330 points. When you are free, pleasee and pay the bill.] Dong Xi was really dumbfounded. The fighting arena was damaged, and she had topensate? Wasn¡¯t this clearly a scam? Dong Xi was only a Qi Refinement stage disciple and she could destroy it. Then the Golden Core stage disciples would have to pay with their entire family¡¯s fortune! What Dong Xi did not know was that the other Qi Refinement stage disciples had only destroyed one or two bricks at most. None of them had damaged the arena as badly as she did, turning the stage into a disaster scene. As for the Golden Core stage cultivators, the barriers were set up by the Sect Master and could not be damaged so badly. Dong Xi bit her lips. She thought of the pitiful amount of points she had. She could not even afford a fraction of it. Dong Xi immediately sent a message to Song Qingfeng toin, but she did not expect the Second Senior Brother to persuade her instead. After all, he was a person with a few spirit veins in the future, so he should be generous when it was time topensate. Dong Xi was already so poor that she only had medicinal pills, and simply could not be generous. Dong Xi sighed softly, pondering whether she should go into seclusion to refine medicinal pills for a period of time to make up for so many points. Dong Xi walked into the immortal¡¯s cave as she thought of this. The current Dong Xi was deeply experiencing the joy of removing Su Cheng¡¯s poison. Feeling the poison in Su Cheng¡¯s body decrease little by little, Dong Xi¡¯s obsessivepulsive disorder was satisfied. When the poison waspletely removed, Dong Xi would get a clean and beautiful big snake! When Su Cheng came back from Dong Xi¡¯s ce, he found that Dong Xi¡¯s mood was a little off. Dong Xi was a little absent-minded, and the spiritual energy knife almost cut Su Cheng¡¯s meridians. Su Cheng could not help but say, ¡°What happened to you?¡± Dong Xi immediatelyined, ¡°I fought with someone and destroyed the ground, and I actually have to paypensation? This is the first time I¡¯ve heard of such a rule. It¡¯s more than a thousand! How many medicinal pills do I have to refine topensate? In the future, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to go out early and returnte. I¡¯ll have to spend all my time refining pills.¡± Although Su Cheng was also confused, he understood. ¡°Can you pay it with spirit stones?¡± Su Cheng asked indifferently. ¡°Of course,¡± Dong Xi immediately replied. Su Cheng casually took out a storage ring and threw it to Dong Xi. Dong Xi immediately caught it and thought, ¡®How does this snake have so many storage rings?¡¯ However, after seeing the various spirit stones in the storage ring, Dong Xi¡¯s mind was instantly muddled. ¡°Is this enough?¡± Su Cheng asked. The clear and cold voice brought Dong Xi back to his senses. ¡°It¡¯s definitely enough,¡± said Dong Xi with a nod. ¡°This is the treatment fee,¡± Su Cheng said. Dong Xi thought of the Dong Xi that the big snake had given him and looked at the storage ring. Dong Xi said, ¡°This is the fee¡­ Isn¡¯t that too much?¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi held the storage ring and was immediately nervous. ¡°What? My body can¡¯t evenpare to these spirit stones?¡± Su Cheng asked. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Other people would save as much as they could, but this snake spent like it was nothing. Left with no choice, Dong Xi could only fulfill the snake¡¯s wish. Dong Xi said seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely clean up all the toxins. I guarantee not to leave any residue.¡± ¡°Be careful,¡± Su Cheng sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t hurt my meridians. I¡¯m already very grateful.¡± Although it was impossible for Dong Xi to do any real harm to Su Cheng, he was just saying it. Hearing Su Cheng¡¯s words, Dong Xi smiled awkwardly. She said, ¡°I definitely won¡¯t. Don¡¯t worry, I promise.¡± Dong Xi gathered her thoughts and once again began to remove the poison from Su Cheng¡¯s body. At this moment, Dong Xi suddenly thought of something. Under a certain amount of pressure, one could train their body, just like Duan Leng¡¯s hammer today. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng¡¯s tail. It should be¡­ Probably¡­ Dong Xi had a crazy idea in her mind. She put her hand on Su Cheng¡¯s wound that had just recovered. ording to what Su Cheng said, Dong Xi¡¯s actions would hurt him. Su Cheng should be retaliating soon, right? He will counterattack, right? However, the counterattack that was supposed toe head-on did note at all. Dong Xi frowned and nced at Su Cheng. Su Cheng was still half lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Chapter 243 - 243 Another Way to Court Death 243 Another Way to Court Death No matter how Dong Xi tried, she could not press her hand down. Not to mention how handsome Su Cheng was, she had just epted so many spirit stones. For the sake of the spirit stones, she could not be ungrateful. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and changed her method of courting death. Dong Xi used her spiritual Qi to cut off arge piece of poison. Then, ording to her previous experience, the snake should be in great pain after being cut off like this. The veins on Su Cheng¡¯s arms and forehead were getting more and more obvious, but he did not seem to have any intention of moving his tail. Dong Xi could not take it anymore and was a little tired. Stripping away such arge amount of poison, whether it was spiritual energy or mental energy, Dong Xi had consumed a lot of both. Dong Xi was so tired that shey t on the ground and looked at Su Cheng. Su Cheng¡¯s forehead was covered in a cold sweat, and his hair was wet. His lips were pale, and he looked very fragile. Dong Xi thought that since this did not work, she would try something else. She said, ¡°You¡¯re so beautiful. You¡¯re much better looking than those Senior Sisters in the sect.¡± Su Cheng closed his eyes andy on the bed. Spiritual essence was flowing rapidly in his veins. He was immersed in pleasure. Su Cheng did not care about what Dong Xi said. After a long time, Dong Xi was surprised at why Su Cheng did not respond. Su Cheng opened his eyes and said, ¡°How old are you? the most important thing is to cultivate. Don¡¯t be addicted to beauty.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. There were always some people in this world who would go to heaven with just a few words of praise. How could he say that she was addicted to beauty? She was Dong Xi! Dong Xi, the girl who only knew how to cultivate! Dong Xi did not want to say anything more and was about to leave when Su Cheng said, ¡°Why are you acting so weird? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Cheng had bought the toys. Su Cheng had tried everything that those people said, but why did this girl still look unhappy? Why is that? Dong Xi stood on the spot and turned to look at Su Cheng, revealing an ugly smile. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, it¡¯s just¡­ Big Snake, you haven¡¯t hit me for almost a year and a half.¡± Su Cheng was confused. When did Su Cheng ever hit the little girl? If he really wanted to make a move, how could the little girl still be alive? Dong Xi continued, ¡°When I first found you, you were so cute. You could directly throw me against the wall. I couldn¡¯t get up for a long time.¡± Su Cheng was speechless. At this moment, Su Cheng was even more confused. Was Dong Xi being sarcastic? It was said that the snake tribe held grudges, but it seemed that the human tribe was even more vengeful. Dong Xi still wanted to say something to continue provoking Su Cheng, but before she could say anything, she was rolled up by Su Cheng¡¯s tail and sent out the door. As soon as Dong Xinded on the ground, the tail wrapped around her body immediately loosened, and then it retreated back into the house. Dong Xi looked at the stone door that had already been closed and sighed. What was good about this? This ¡®getting beaten up n¡¯ did not seem to work¡­ Dong Xi wanted to be beaten up by Su Cheng as a form of body cultivation. She felt that with their rtionship, Su Cheng would go easy on her. However, from the looks of it, if Dong Xi wanted to cultivate, she could only go and fight with others. She also had to find those who could fight head-on. Normal sword cultivators and seal cultivators would not do. Dong Xi went straight to the Mission Hall to im her points. She also asked around and found out who in the sect could practice hammer and fist techniques! When the senior brothers heard Dong Xi¡¯s question, they were extremely puzzled. However, they still spoke up. Just as Dong Xi was about to pay the spirit stones, a paper crane flew in front of her. Dong Xi looked at the paper crane and knew that her master was looking for her. She did not open it immediately, but bowed to her senior brothers and left. After finding a ce with no one around, Dong Xi opened the paper crane. Her master¡¯s voice said, ¡°Little Xi,e to meet the Sect Master.¡± Dong Xi did not quite understand, but her intuition told her that this was not a bad thing. Dong Xi immediately used a movement technique and quickly rushed to the outside of the Sect Master¡¯s cave. The Sect Master¡¯s eldest disciple was waiting again. Seeing that Dong Xi had arrived, the eldest disciple of the Sect Master saluted and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯vee so quickly. Pleasee in.¡± Dong Xi immediately returned the greeting and then followed the eldest disciple inside. As she walked, she heard the eldest disciple say, ¡°Junior Sister, your movement technique is simr to Master Li Li of Destiny Valley. Are you from the same bloodline?¡± ¡°Senior Brother has good eyes,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°This movement technique was taught by Senior Brother Li Li.¡± When the eldest disciple heard Dong Xi call Li Li ¡®Senior Brother¡¯, he raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°I see! Daoist Master Li Li¡¯s movement technique is very famous. It¡¯s a good opportunity for Junior Sister to get his favor.¡± Dong Xi did not say anything. This was the second time Dong Xi hade here. She followed the eldest disciple and soon arrived at the door. The eldest disciple of the Sect Master asked Dong Xi to wait here, and then he went in to report. Not long after, he came out and politely invited Dong Xi in. The moment Dong Xi entered, she heard her master say, ¡°Little Xi¡¯s cultivation level is only a little higher, how could she trample on the stage¡¯s floor? I say, Wei Nan, even if you want to earn some spirit stones, you have to be reasonable, right? How many points do Qi Refinement disciples have? You¡¯re asking for more than a thousand spirit stones, so how many missions do Little Xi need to do to pay for that?¡± Chapter 244 - 244 The Warmth in Her Heart 244 The Warmth in Her Heart Dong Xi was a little scared at first, but after hearing the words that came after, her heart felt warm. This little old man was really cute. In both of Dong Xi¡¯s lives, this was the first time someone had stood up for Dong Xi after she was wronged. Although his voice was a little loud, it was very cute. If Master Lingxu knew that Dong Xi was thinking like this, he would probably vomit blood. Wasn¡¯t it because of Dong Xi¡¯s influence that it was so loud? Originally, Master Ling Xu had been using his divine sense to transmit his voice for hundreds of years, but ever since he epted Dong Xi as his disciple, he had been led astray bit by bit. The eldest disciple of the Sect Master was also shocked. In the cultivation world, cultivation was all about cultivation and character, so there were very few quarrels like this. The main point was that they were not quarreling over anything major, just over a thousand points. It was understandable if the people from the Sword Sect came to quarrel. But the one quarreling was an alchemist! One had to know that the Alchemy Sect¡¯s people were the richest. Would they care about this little bit of points? Dong Xi and the head disciple walked in and saw Master Lingxu¡¯s dissatisfaction. Master Lingxu said, ¡°On what basis is Little Xi being punished? Why isn¡¯t kid from the Equipment Refining Sect being punished? Are you using us alchemy ancestors as seeds of resentment?¡± Wei Nan looked at the disciple who came in and sighed, ¡°The ground of the arena was broken by your Little Xi, and it has nothing to do with that disciple of the Equipment Refining Sect. Even if that disciple attacked with all his strength, he wouldn¡¯t be able to break the ground.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Master Lingxu frowned. ¡°Little Xi cultivation level is lower than that Equipment Refining Sect disciple¡¯s, only at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage¡­¡± As he said that, he looked at Dong Xi and instantly widened his eyes. He said, ¡°Aiyo! Seventh level? How could this girl cultivate so quickly? You are indeed my good disciple.¡± Then, he looked at Wei Nan again with a dissatisfied expression. Master Lingxu continued. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go with the seventh-stage Qi Refinement. However, it¡¯s still lower than the cultivation of that kid from the Equipment Refining Sect. You¡¯re being very unfair.¡± Wei Nan looked at Master Lingxu, and said helplessly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with the arena¡¯s protective shield. It¡¯s your disciple who has a problem. She knows best what she did in the fighting ring. Let her exin.¡± After saying that, Wei Nan looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi suddenly felt a little guilty. In theory, Dong Xi had borrowed Duan Leng¡¯s power to temper her body. The power had passed from her sword to her arms and then been absorbed by her body-tempering cultivation technique. The excess power had been sent out from under her feet. Could the ground of the arena have been damaged because of resonance? Master Lingxu immediately said, ¡°Dong Xi, tell us what you¡¯ve done.¡± Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at her feet, feeling really guilty. Dong Xi said, ¡°This disciple¡­ But¡­ Body refinement¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s voice was soft to begin with, and her final words were even more muffled. Even a person of Master Lingxu¡¯s level could not clearly hear what it was. Instantly, Master Lingxu said anxiously, ¡°Little Xi, what are you talking about?¡± Dong Xi knew that she could not fool them anymore. She sighed in her heart and raised her head. Dong Xi looked at her master and said bravely, ¡°Master, I was just training my body in the arena.¡± ¡°Body refining?¡± Master Lingxu eximed in shock. He knew that Dong Xi had tempered her body before, she had also asked for pills from him. After that, she continued to run up and down the mountain every day. However, she stopped for a while, so Master Lingxu thought that Dong Xi had given up because body-tempering was too difficult. However, he had never expected Dong Xi to have tempered her body to such an extent. She¡¯s actually refining her body on the stage? Master Lingxu could not understand no matter how he thought about it. He said, ¡°How did you do this?¡± Dong Xi said innocently, ¡°I¡¯m was thinking that Senior Brother Duan Leng is from the Equipment Refining Sect. He needs to hammer every day when he refines equipment. I¡¯ll just be the ¡®equipment¡¯ that is being hammered.¡± Sect Master Wei Nan looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°You¡¯ve already cultivated a special body refining technique?¡± After Wei Nan found out about this, he specially looked at the photostone and found that Dong Xi¡¯s breathing aura was very brilliant. If she had not cultivated a special cultivation technique, the stage would not have be like that. If she only followed the regr path of a seventh level of Qi Refinement stage disciples, Dong Xi would not have been able to withstand and receive so many attacks. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Dong Xi nodded. She had already practiced it, and she would be discovered sooner orter. When she had first joined the sect, Dong Xi had studied the sect¡¯s rules clearly. Everything Dong Xi was doing now did not vite the rules. Before Master Wei Nan could say anything, Master Lingxu said with a smile, ¡°Little Xi is indeed powerful. I heard from Yijian that your swordsmanship isn¡¯t bad either. Now that you¡¯ve caught up in body tempering, you are able to attack as well as defend. This is good, very good!¡± Chapter 245 - 245 This Isn’t Just Hard Work 245 This Isn¡¯t Just Hard Work Wei Nan also wanted to say that it was very good, but this disciple only had three spirit roots, and his cultivation speed was very fast. This could not be exined by just hard work, but in front of the old fox, Master Lingxu, Wei Nan could not even ask. ¡®Forget it. No matter what, this girl is a disciple of the Ningtian Sect. It¡¯s good to be outstanding. As for other things, I¡¯ll just turn a blind eye.¡¯ Wei Nan¡¯s face was serious. ¡°Your body refining technique is indeed powerful, but you have to be careful when you cultivate in the future. Don¡¯t be reckless. It¡¯s a good idea to use the power to refine your body, but have you thought about what happens if you can¡¯t handle this power?¡± This time, Master Lingxu did not say anything. This was a serious problem. Breaking through was a good thing, but if she could not withstand it, then she would be destroyed! ¡°This disciple will bear it in mind,¡± Dong Xi said honestly. Although she said this, Dong Xi was very clear in her heart. Duan Leng was only at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Even if she could not withstand this power, she could use the earth spiritual energy and borrow the power of the earth to block it. Seeing that Dong Xi was so obedient, Master Lingxu and the Sect Master were also very satisfied. A genius who was not arrogant and was obedient. Who would not like it? ¡°Although the damage to the ground is rted to the Little Xi¡¯s cultivation technique, the punishment is too severe. Lower it a little!¡± Master Lingxu said. Dong Xi lowered her head. Hearing her master say this, Dong Xi wanted tough, so she listened very seriously. Hearing Master Lingxu¡¯s words, Wei Nan fell silent, and Master Lingxu continued, ¡°Sect Master, when I epted a disciple, you didn¡¯t give the child a gift, did you?¡± Wei Nan, ¡°? ¡± The eldest disciple of the Sect Master quickly lowered his head, and Dong Xi could not help butugh. Master Lingxu red at Dong Xi. ¡®This disciple of mine really hasn¡¯t seen much of the world, yet she¡¯s still able to smile. Doesn¡¯t she know that I¡¯m doing this for her?¡¯ Wei Nan sighed and epted his fate. Wei Nan took out a pair of women¡¯s boots, and when he saw the shoes on Dong Xi¡¯s feet, he was stunned. Wei Nan felt that this was a very good gift. ¡°Little Xi, you do it,¡± said Wei Nan. Dong Xi obediently stepped forward. Of course, she would be more proactive when she received benefits. Dong Xi raised her head and saw the boots in the Sect Master¡¯s hands. They were pink, and there was a bell behind them. When she walked, it rang. It was indeed cute, but when she was hunting or running away, this¡­ Wasn¡¯t it just exposing her whereabouts? Dong Xi immediately felt a little conflicted, but thinking that the person the Sect Master had given to someone as a gift would definitely not be an ordinary, Dong Xi decided that she should first listen to what the Sect Master had to say. Wei Nan handed the boots to Dong Xi and said, ¡°These are the Bell Speed Boots. I obtained them in a Secret Realm. After wearing them, your speed will double. It¡¯s good when you¡¯re rushing or running away.¡± Dong Xi had already learned how to shrink the distance with her movement technique, so she did not have much attachment to speed. However, when he heard the Sect Master say that the speed would be doubled, she was still a little excited. With this pair of boots, even if the Big Snake did not save her in the future, Dong Xi would be able to escape perfectly with this pair of boots and the dress. ¡°This bell¡­¡± Wei Nan continued. When Dong Xi heard the word ¡®bell¡¯, she immediately recollected her thoughts and began to listen carefully. Wei Nan said, ¡°This bell will only make a sound when you inject spiritual Qi into it. It¡¯s also a magical artifact and has the effect of making people hallucinate. The duration of the hallucination is determined by the cultivation level. With your current cultivation level, you¡¯ll probably only buy yourself a breath¡¯s time if you encounter a Golden Core cultivator.¡± One breath was fine. With this time, Dong Xi could also use the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman. Dong Xi took the boots excitedly and said to the Sect Master, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master, for your gift. I like it very much.¡± ¡°As long as you like it, I¡¯m d,¡± Wei Nan said with a smile. Seeing that the Sect Master had given Dong Xi such a good thing, Master Lingxu¡¯s expression became much better. Even a thousand points could not buy such a good-looking treasure. No matter what, she had made a profit. Master Lingxu watched as Dong Xi put away the boots. He thought that since he had already spoken, he might as well be shameless to the end. Master Lingxu continued, ¡°Senior Brother Sect Master, I took in two disciples back then, right? If you only give something to Dong Xi, how am I going to exin it to Chi Yan?¡± Wei Nan gritted his teeth and said with aplicated expression, ¡°Junior Brother Lingxu, you said it yourself¡­ This is a meeting gift. I can only give it to you when we meet.¡± Master Lingxu nodded in agreement. Just when Wei Nan thought that Master Lingxu would just let it go, he took out a voice transmission talisman and said, ¡°Yan ¡®er, quicklye to the Immortal Sect Master¡¯s cave.¡± Wei Nan¡¯s face instantly darkened. This Junior Brother Lingxu was really shameless, huh? Chapter 246 - 246 First Meeting Gift 246 First Meeting Gift Chi Yan soon arrived at Master Wei Nan¡¯s cave. It was the Sect Master¡¯s eldest disciple who brought him in. Chi Yan had a cold appearance. When she entered, she saw Dong Xi and had a puzzled expression. Dong Xi secretly gave Chi Yan a look, and Chi Yan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It should be nothing serious. ¡°Yan¡¯er,¡± Master Lingxu said with a smile. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, you can pay your respects to the Sect Master.¡± Although Chi Yan did not know what was going on, she obediently saluted and said, ¡°Disciple Chi Yan greets the Sect Master.¡± Wei Nan knew that he could not wriggle himself out of this, so he helplessly took out the feather and gave it to Chi Yan. Chi Yan¡¯s eyes instantly lit up, and Master Lingxu was also very satisfied. Dong Xi, on the other hand, was very curious. What was this feather? Both Master and Little Senior Sister seemed very satisfied. Wei Nan looked at the two little girls in front of him and said, ¡°You all seem to be cultivating the sword? When thepetition is over, you can try the sword formation.¡± Master Lingxu was very satisfied, but he was also afraid that the Sect Master would go back on his words, so he immediately said, ¡°Hurry up and thank the Sect Master. This is a meeting gift from the Sect Master.¡± Dong Xi and Chi Yan obediently saluted and said, ¡°Thank you, Sect Master!¡± Wei Nan looked at the three of them and felt a little ufortable. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Forget it, you can all go back.¡± After the three of them left, Wei Nan looked at the disciple beside him and said, ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve suffered a loss. Why don¡¯t I take in a few disciples as well?¡± ¡°Master,¡± Wei Nan¡¯s eldest disciple said happily, ¡°it¡¯s not a bad idea to take in a few more disciples. There will be more people to share your burden.¡± Wei Nan¡¯s eyes widened, and he said, ¡°I knew it. You didn¡¯t agree with good intentions. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll forget about you after I take in all those disciples?¡± Wei Nan¡¯s eldest disciple suddenly became silent. After thinking for a long time, he felt that his master would probably do that. He said, ¡°Master, I was wrong. It¡¯s enough for you to have me as your disciple.¡± Dong Xi and Chi Yan sat on their Master¡¯s flying treasure and returned together. When they arrived, Master Lingxu took out two bottles of medicinal pills and said, ¡°I¡¯ll pay for the arena¡¯spensation. You¡¯re my disciples, so you don¡¯t have to worry about anything when you¡¯re out. Next time you go up to the arena, just do your best. As for the rest, I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± Dong Xi immediately became happy and took the pill. Dong Xi said, ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Chi Yan had been wondering why her master had suddenly asked her to ask for a meeting gift. Now, she knew that it was all thanks to Dong Xi. Chi Yan looked at Dong Xi. When Dong Xi realized that Chi Yan was looking at her, she immediately went forward. ¡°Little Senior Sister, what kind of feather did the Sect Master give you?¡± Dong Xi asked. Chi Yan took out the feather. Dong Xi looked at it and did not dare to touch it. Chi Yan said indifferently, ¡°This should be the feather of the Fire Phoenix. I wonder where the Sect Master got it from. If I refine it, not only will my strength increase, but my bloodline will also improve. It¡¯s a rare treasure.¡± Dong Xi was immediately envious. She had already transmigrated, so why didn¡¯t she have a bloodline? ¡°It¡¯s indeed a good thing¡­¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°But that sword formation is even better. The longer you stay in the sword formation, the greater the harvest.¡± Master Lingxu was a pill cultivator and had never been to a sword formation before. However, after so many years, he had heard of it. Especially since there were so many sword cultivators, he could find out after asking around. It was said that one would gain a lot even if they cultivated in the sword formation for a day. Master Yijian, who had cultivated in the sword formation for 49 days, was known as a once-in-a-thousand-years genius. His current strength was worthy of this title. When Dong Xi heard her Master¡¯s words, she suddenly thought of the shadow that had taught her the sword technique. It had been a long time since Dong Xi had been there. She did not know which was more powerful, that shadow or the sword formation. At that time, she had learned the basic sword technique, and the shadow had also taught her the sword technique. Although it was only one move, Dong Xi could not continue learning it. The reason was that Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation was too low and could not support the consumption rate in that space at all. Now that her cultivation had increased by a lot, could she continue to study in that space? Although Dong Xi did not have any bloodline, her luck had always been good. After saying that, Master Lingxu looked at Dong Xi¡¯s ck shoes in disdain and said, ¡± Little Xi, the Sect Master gave you a pair of boots, so just put them on. You¡¯re just a little girl, so don¡¯t dress up like a young man all day.¡± Dong Xi looked at the men¡¯s clothes she was wearing. If she changed into pink boots now, it would be too painful to the eyes. Her master¡¯s fashion sense was really terrible. It was not that good¡­ Dong Xi wanted to quickly dispel this thought about her master. Dong Xi bowed and said, ¡°Master, I will change my shoes when I need them. It¡¯s a little too ostentatious to wear such good clothes in the sect!¡± Chapter 247 - 247 Closed-Door Cultivation 247 Closed-Door Cultivation ¡°That¡¯s fine, as long as you¡¯re clear about it,¡± said Master Lingxu with a nod. After Dong Xi watched his Master and Little Senior Sister leave, she did not return to her cave dwelling directly. Instead, she used Earth Shrinking to immediately go to the Cultivation Technique Hall. When they passed by Rui Ming, they even specially sent him two bottles of Vitality Reinforcement Pills. Rui Ming saw that Junior Sister Dong Xi was so busy that she did not have time. He also went to find his Master and said, ¡°Master, I¡¯m going into seclusion.¡± Rui Ming¡¯s Master had a puzzled look on his face. Rui Ming had always been eating, drinking, and having fun every day. When a demonic beast reached a certain age, its cultivation would naturally rise, and it would not need to cultivate like humans. ¡°Why do you suddenly have such a realization?¡± asked Rui Ming¡¯s Master. Rui Ming furrowed his brows and said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi has been cultivating like crazy every day. Her cultivation level is already much higher than mine. Even my speed is slower than hers. She just entered the sect, and she¡¯s already at the third level of the Qi Refinement stage. I¡¯m still the same even now¡­¡± Rui Ming¡¯s Master was stunned and immediately said, ¡°What¡¯s Dong Xi¡¯s current cultivation level?¡± Rui Ming¡¯s eyes lit up when he mentioned Dong Xi. He immediately said, ¡°I can¡¯t really tell, but it¡¯s definitely higher than mine. Don¡¯t you know? Dong Xi won against Duan Leng from the Equipment Refining Sect in the arena. Duan Leng is at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage!¡± When Rui Ming¡¯s Master heard this, he was even more surprised and said in disbelief, ¡°Is she that powerful?¡± Rui Ming¡¯s Master was filled with regret. If he had been more determined and epted Dong Xi as his disciple, wouldn¡¯t she be his favorite disciple now? Rui Ming decided to go into closed-door cultivation, and his Master could not persuade him otherwise. He could only tell Rui Ming not to lock the door and to immediately send a message if anything went wrong. Rui Ming obediently agreed. He returned to the cave and changed back to his original body. He thought about the inheritance within the n and he had to work hard. Dong Xi once again arrived at the Cultivation Technique Hall. The door of the hall slowly opened to wee Dong Xi. The portrait of the Master was still inside. Dong Xi knelt on the ground and bowed, and the scene changed. Dong Xi picked up the cultivation technique and flipped to the next page. She appeared in the golden space again. The shadow held a long sword in his hand, bowed, and then immediately stabbed over. Dong Xi immediately leaned back and dodged the attack. She then took out her long sword and attacked. There was no way to temper one¡¯s body here, and one could only train in movement techniques and sword techniques. Dong Xi did not need to go head-to-head with him. Dong Xi¡¯s Earth Shrinking movement technique was suitable for traveling, but not for fighting enemies. Dong Xi found that every time her attack was about to hit the shadow, the shadow would always dodge. After a few rounds, Dong Xi finally understood that the movement technique the other party was using was of a higher level. Dong Xi followed along and learned both the sword technique and the movement technique, slowly merging them together. As Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation level increased, she spent more time here. Dong Xi was a little happy. She could have such a one-on-one coach, and she did not even need to spend any money. It was a good thing that fell from the sky. Dong Xi was very serious in his training. Themunication jade slip that she had ced at the side lit up, and Dong Xi immediately left the golden space. Dong Xi opened her eyes and quickly checked the jade slip. It was a message from Senior Sister Wang Ying, telling Dong Xi to hurry up and participate in thepetition. This time, Dong Xi was matched with a tenth level Qi Refinement opponent called Zhuang Sheng, who was also a sword cultivator. This person was someone she was familiar with. Dong Xi had sparred with him in the Sword Sect before. At that time, they did not use spiritual power or cultivation techniques. They just sparred with each other. Dong Xi was no match for Zhuang Sheng. She had already lost four times in the previous sparring. It was because of this that Dong Xi understood Zhuang Sheng¡¯s swordsmanship very well. When Dong Xi rushed to the arena, Ke Xin was already waiting at the side. Ke Xin had already lost her first match, and Dong Xi¡¯s defeat of Duan Leng had shocked Ke Xin. As such, she hade early to wait, wanting to see her sister¡¯s heroic bearing. Hearing the others say that the person on the stage was at the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage, Ke Xin started to worry. Could Little Xi win? Ke Xin saw Dong Xi walking over and immediately said, ¡°Little Xi, other people say that this guy is at the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage, you¡­ Can you win?¡± Dong Xi, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression. She said, ¡°As a sword cultivator, I just need to advance courageously. It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve lost to him anyway. I just need to do my best and leave the rest to Heaven¡¯s will.¡± Done talking, Dong Xi directly went up the ring. Zhuang Sheng looked like a schr who stood aloof from worldly affairs, but those who had sparred with him would not think so. Zhuang Sheng¡¯s swordsmanship was very sharp. There was almost no defense, and he was very aggressive in his offense topensate for defence. It was very powerful. Seeing that Dong Xi had arrived, Zhuang Sheng saluted and said, ¡°Junior Sister, please advise me.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re too humble. It should be you who gave me some advice,¡± Dong Xi immediately replied. Zhuang Sheng shook his head. Although he had won against Dong Xi a few times before, he was not arrogant at all. He said, ¡°If it¡¯s just apetition of sword techniques, I might not lose. But Junior Sister, what you know isn¡¯t just sword techniques. I might not be your match either.¡± Chapter 248 - 248 Not Competing in Swordsmanship 248 Not Competing in Swordsmanship Zhuang Sheng¡¯s neither arrogant nor prideful attitude was really like that of a gentleman. Dong Xi took out her long sword and said, ¡°Senior Brother is too humble. We¡¯ll talk about it after thepetition.¡± Zhuang Sheng¡¯s face turned serious as he also took out his long sword and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re right. Let¡¯s fight then.¡± The two of them had sparred four times, so they were very familiar with each other¡¯s moves. !! Zhuang Sheng had used 40 percent of his spirit power, but Dong Xi still went up to meet him. The two swords were full of spiritual Qi. Dong Xi circted her cultivation technique and unloaded the power. This time, the ground of the arena was not damaged. The Sect Master was probably worried that a disciple like Dong Xi would appear, so he had specially reinforced it. Dong Xi took a few steps back. She knew that Senior Brother Zhuang Sheng had not used his full strength in this attack. The sword in his hand did not break. Before Dong Xi could think too much, Zhuang Sheng¡¯s attack had already arrived in front of her. Dong Xi swiftly circted her cultivation technique. She could clearly sense that she would be able to withstand this move as well. Thus, she immediatelyunched an attack. After four attacks, Zhuang Sheng used the fifth move of his sword technique, the Sword Shadows That Filled the Sky. Zhuang Sheng also wanted to see how Junior Sister Dong Xi would receive this move, but he did not expect that his sword attack would miss. Dong Xi¡¯s body movements were ingenious, and she dodged the sword shadows through the fine gaps. Zhuang Sheng had never seen such a body movement technique. Zhuang Sheng looked at Dong Xi in surprise. He saw Dong Xi raise her long sword and swing it, and a trace of spiritual Qi shed across the de. The Sword Shadows That Filled the Sky were instantly shattered, and Zhuang Sheng was exposed. Zhuang Sheng said that he only knew swordsmanship, and Dong Xi was about the same. Other than swordsmanship, he had not learned any other spells. If they were to reallypare, Dong Xi only had a slight advantage in body refinement and movement techniques. The crowd below the ring had seen that Dong Xi and Zhuang Sheng had been fighting for so long, yet Dong Xi had not lost. She did not even feel that his spirit Qi was exhausted. Moreover, no one had seen Dong Xi take the medicinal pill. What cultivation level did Dong Xi have? Her spiritual power was actually this strong? When Dong Xi saw that Zhuang Sheng was about to use the sixth sword move, she immediately used her own sword move. To be honest, in his current position, Dong Xi could only use two moves. She could only copy the rest of the moves and could not use them. After parrying so much, sheprehended her opponent¡¯s swordsmanship. Although it was only a little bit, she had barely broken Zhuang Sheng¡¯s move. When the two sword techniques collided, Dong Xi immediately smiled. She had actually managed to block it. Dong Xi¡¯s right hand was a little sore. It was indeed not easy to fight an attack from a tenth level Qi Refinement disciple. Zhuang Sheng was also very surprised. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re really amazing. I¡¯ll give you some time, and your future will be bright.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, you tter me!¡± Dong Xi said modestly. ¡°If that¡¯s the case,¡± Zhuang Sheng said with a smile, ¡°as a Senior Brother, I can¡¯t hide my strength anymore. I¡¯ll use all my strength.¡± Dong Xi nodded. She had just learned this movement technique in the Cultivation Technique Hall, and it was indeed very useful to use it now. Wei Nan, who had been watching from the stands, suddenly had a change in expression. He was not interested at first. However, when he heard that Dong Xi would be facing a disciple of the Sword Sect today, he wanted to see how Dong Xi would temper her body. He did not expect such a scene to happen. The people present might not be able to see it, but Wei Nan saw it clearly. This movement technique¡­ It was obviously the movement technique of the Ningtian Sect¡¯s Founding Master. If Dong Xi¡¯s sword technique was not taught by Master Yijian, Wei Nan would have thought that this little girl had obtained the Founding Master¡¯s inheritance. But how did Dong Xi learn this movement technique? It was really strange. Zhuang Sheng¡¯s sword moves became fiercer and fiercer, and Dong Xi barely dodged them. Many small wounds appeared on Dong Xi¡¯s body, and she rolled away to avoid the sword moves. Dong Xi, who was lying on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief and immediately ate a medicinal pill. Then, she stood up again and said, ¡°Senior Brother, I still have one more move. If you can easily take it, I will admit defeat.¡± Zhuang Sheng nodded and took a pill. Zhuang Sheng had won against Dong Xi four times before, but he had never thought that Dong Xi would be so difficult to deal with in a real fight. Zhuang Sheng thought that Dong Xi would forcefully use the third move of the sword technique, but Dong Xi put away her long sword instead. Dong Xi stood in ce, her hands forming a seal, and her mouth began to mutter technical terms. The surroundings immediately fell silent. Only Dong Xi¡¯s voice could be heard. Wei Nan stood up excitedly. This¡­ Wasn¡¯t this a spell from the Central ins? Where did Dong Xie from? How did she know the spell techniques of the Central ins? As Dong Xi muttered, a fire dragon slowly appeared behind her. When Dong Xi finished thest syble, the fire dragon opened its eyes. The moment Zhuang Sheng was stared at by the fire dragon, he felt cold all over. He did not dare to be careless and immediately jumped off the ring. Chapter 249 - 249 No Name 249 No Name Just as the fire dragon was about to crash into the barrier, the eldest disciple of the Sect Master suddenly appeared and used a spell technique to stop the fire dragon. The eldest disciple of the Sect Master waved his hand casually, and the fire dragon dissipated in the air. ¡°This round, Dong Xi wins!¡± The eldest disciple of the Sect Master immediately said. Dong Xi left the ring and saluted Zhuang Sheng. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, you let me win!¡± Zhuang Sheng smiled bitterly. ¡°Junior Sister, I didn¡¯t go easy on you this time. It¡¯s your move that¡¯s too powerful. I don¡¯t dare to take it. What¡¯s your move called?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°I got this move by chance. It doesn¡¯t have a name. Today is the first time I¡¯ve tried it. If I¡¯ve offended you, please forgive me.¡± Zhuang Sheng shook his head and said, ¡°We¡¯re just sparring, so don¡¯t worry about that. Junior Sister¡¯s strength has really shocked me. I¡¯ve lost today. I¡¯ll spar with you again in the future. Goodbye.¡± Dong Xi watched Zhuang Sheng leave and was about to leave as well when she was stopped by the head disciple. ¡°Don¡¯t leave, Junior Sister Dong Xi, the Sect Master has invited you to see him,¡± the eldest disciple of the Sect Master said. Dong Xi frowned and thought to herself, ¡®Do disciples have to tell the sect what moves they know? With so many disciples out traveling, couldn¡¯t they have some opportunities?¡¯ Thinking of this, Dong Xi felt a little frustrated. Although she was frustrated, she still had to go. Seeing how the Sect Master had promised to summon the souls of the disciples, Dong Xi still admired the Sect Master. Dong Xi followed the eldest disciple of the Sect Master and came to the Sect Master¡¯s cave abode again. As soon as the two of them arrived, Sect Master Wei Nan also returned to the cave. ¡°Little Xi,¡± Wei Nan immediately said. ¡°Do you know why I asked you toe?¡± Dong Xi lowered her head and said honestly, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Wei Nan waved his hand, and a tea set appeared on the table. Wei Nan asked Dong Xi to sit down and poured her some tea. Wei Nan said, ¡°Little Xi, where did you learn that movement technique you just used?¡± Dong Xi held the teacup and immediately frowned. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s expression, Wei Nan smiled and said, ¡°The sect doesn¡¯t want to know your secrets. Everyone will have their own opportunities. I understand, but¡­ Do you know who this movement technique belonged to?¡± Dong Xi was taken aback. She looked at the Sect Master in front of him, but Dong Xi shook her head. Dong Xi had a feeling in her heart that this time, the identity of the portrait artist would be revealed. Dong Xi¡¯s feeling was right. Wei Nan took a sip of tea, and Wei Nan continued, ¡°This movement technique is our Founding Master¡¯s movement technique, it¡¯s called ¡®Ethereal¡¯. At that time, our ancestor also used this movement technique and the ¡®Void Sword Technique¡¯ to conquer the world of Immortal cultivators. Unfortunately¡­ This movement technique and sword technique disappeared after the founder Ascended.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi had thought of all the possibilities, but she had never thought that this would actually be the Founding Master¡¯s! ¡°Little Xi,¡± Wei Nan continued, ¡°can you tell me where you learned it?¡± Dong Xi bit her lip and said with aplicated expression, ¡°Sect Master, you might not believe it, but I kowtowed in the Cultivation Technique Hall.¡± Dong Xi did not have anything to hide. The Grandmaster¡¯s portrait was in the Cultivation Technique Hall. It was originally meant to teach disciples. It was not as if others could not learn it just because Dong Xi could. Dong Xi told the Sect Master about how she had gone to the Cultivation Technique Hall and how she had seen the door open. Dong Xi said, ¡°After entering, I saw a portrait on it. The person in the portrait looked very powerful. I thought he was a senior of the sect. I kowtowed and then walked in.¡± Wei Nan¡¯s expression was very strange. Wei Nan had been the Sect Master for a few hundred years, but this was the first time he had heard someone say that the Cultivation Technique Hall would open on its own without a password. However, Dong Xi did not look like she was lying. Wei Nan smiled and said, ¡°The Grandmaster¡¯s legacy probably thinks highly of you, so he took the initiative to find you. Don¡¯t feel any burden. In the future, if you need anything, juste to me.¡± Coming out from the Sect Master¡¯s ce, Dong Xi held themunication jade slip and smiled helplessly. There was one more Big Shot in her address book. That¡¯s good. In the future, if Dong Xi had to trouble the Sect Master, she would not feel embarrassed. As soon as Dong Xi returned to the cave, her Master¡¯s voice transmission talisman came. Dong Xi sighed softly. She knew that even if she avoided it today, she would not be able to avoid tomorrow, so she directly went to her Master¡¯s cave. When Dong Xi arrived, she found that not only her Master, but her eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother were also there. The three of them were looking at her with their arms crossed. Dong Xi instinctively took a step back. She said, ¡°Master, Senior Brothers, you¡­¡± As the representative, Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Junior Sister, how do you know techniques from the Central ins? Have you been possessed?¡± ¡°Since Senior Brother says so, how should I prove that I¡¯m not possessed?¡± Dong Xi frowned. ¡°Should I¡­ talk about what happened with the fruit? That¡¯s something only I know about.¡± Chapter 250 - 250 Tell Me 250 Tell Me Song Qingfeng saw the slyness in Dong Xi¡¯s eyes. He thought that this girl never suffered losses, so he coughed a few times and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Junior sister, of course you¡¯re innocent. Senior Brother knows that.¡± Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°Then tell me about it.¡± Liang Yan was poor to begin with. He had been raising a hundred-year-old fruit tree, and now that there were finally fruits, half the fruits went missing? Dong Xi gave Song Qingfeng a look, and Dong Xi said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, do you think I should tell him about the fruits?¡± !! Song Qingfeng took out a zing me Fruit and gave it to Liang Yan. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Senior Brother, let bygones be bygones. Don¡¯t hold on to it.¡± Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and then at the fruit in his hand. Heughed and kept the fruit without saying anything. Of course, Master Lingxu knew about the enmity between the two. Song Qingfeng had liked to y pranks since he was young, and the two had been ying around for a hundred years, so Master Lingxu had gotten used to it. On the other hand, this youngest disciple was not very old, so there were many things to worry about. Master Lingxu sighed and said, ¡°Little Xi, talk to your Master. How did you learn the spells of the Central ins? Did you encounter people from there?¡± There was an endless ocean between the Central ins and where they were, and they did not interfere with each other. A few thousand years ago, there was a war between them and the Central ins. In that war, the teleportation gate between the two regions was damaged. It was also for this reason that the two states had not had any contact for thousands of years. ¡°No, Master.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°Do you remember the new disciple trial? I learned it in the pce there.¡± Upon hearing this, Master Lingxu, Liang Yan, and Song Qingfeng were all shocked. Song Qingfeng waved the fan in his hand as if he was looking at a rare species. He said, ¡°Amazing! Junior sister, that Secret Realm was already searched so thoroughly, and you still managed to find this? Is it true?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. If you don¡¯t believe me, I can swear a Heart Demon Oath,¡± said Dong Xi, biting his lip. Song Qingfeng closed his fan and gently tapped Dong Xi¡¯s head. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! Why do you need to resort to the Heart Demon Oath? How can Senior Brother not believe you?¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°The culture of the Central ins is in that Mystic realm. You actually know theirnguage?¡± Dong Xi sighed softly. This was truly inexplicable. Was he supposed to tell her Master and Senior Brothers that she had gotten full marks for English during the college entrance examination? Dong Xi lowered her head, her eyes somewhat evasive, and stammered, ¡°This disciple¡­ Disciple¡­ I just copied it and learned it casually.¡± Master Lingxu believed her. Everyone encountered different inheritances. Some things were jade slips, and some things were soul fragments. It would make sense if the soul fragments taught them bit by bit. ¡°Little Xi, this move is very powerful, ¡± Master Lingxu said seriously. ¡°If you use it, your spiritual Qi will be sucked dry. Without spiritual Qi, you¡¯ll be at the mercy of others. Unless it¡¯s ast resort, you can¡¯t use this move.¡± ¡°Yes, this disciple will bear it in mind,¡± said Dong Xi obediently. Dong Xi was not sure if it was because her current cultivation level was just enough to use this move, or if every time it surged out, it would consume all her spiritual Qi. When her cultivation level was higher in the future, she could try a few more times. Coming out of her Master¡¯s cave, Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi with admiration and a trace of envy. ¡°Little Xi,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°Your luck is heaven-defying.¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s luck had been pretty good since he started cultivating, but he had never bumped into movement techniques and spell techniques out of nowhere. That¡¯s right, there¡¯s also Dong Xi¡¯s talent, which makes people envious! After Song Qingfeng said that, even Liang Yan, who usually did not participate much, nodded. Liang Yan said, ¡°Junior sister, your luck is really too good.¡± Dong Xi wanted tough, but she could not. Was she really lucky? It looked good, but¡­ Who would be lucky enough to get into the best university after all the hard work, only to transmigrate into a book and find a way to clean up the mess left by the original body? It was simply hell-level difficulty. ¡°Senior Brothers, you tter me. In my opinion, you two are the true geniuses¡­¡± Dong Xi said. Before Dong Xi could finish, Song Qingfeng interrupted her, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not tter each other here. Since we both feel that the other party has a bright future, why don¡¯t we make a gentleman¡¯s agreement?¡± Dong Xi blinked and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think my future is bright¡­¡± Song Qingfeng shot a look at Dong Xi, and thetter immediately shut up. Liang Yan looked confused. ¡°What kind of gentlemen¡¯s agreement?¡± Chapter 251 - 251 Big Goal 251 Big Goal Dong Xi stood obediently at the side and nodded frantically. Song Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, ¡°Among us, if one of us can Ascend, we¡¯ll do something for the two who haven¡¯t. This thing won¡¯t harm our cultivation, go against the heavenlyw, or harm anyone. How about it?¡± Dong Xi raised both hands in agreement. Based on their current cultivation and talent, Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng had a higher chance of Ascending. Dong Xi only had a little bit of luck now, but no one could be sure of the future. !! If Dong Xi could live until both of her Senior Brothers Ascended, she would find a ce and let the two of them set up a restriction. Dong Xi would live an honest life inside and eventually die of old age. If Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan knew about Dong Xi¡¯s ¡®big goal¡¯, they would probablyugh their heads off. But after all, everyone had different goals. Liang Yan thought about it and finally agreed. He said, ¡°No problem.¡± The three of them agreed just like that. The setting sun shone on the three of them, and the three shadows behind them were thin and long. After Dong Xi watched the two Senior Brothers leave, she followed the path she had taken earlier and walked down the mountain. Dong Xi did not return to the cave dwelling. Comfort would make onecent andzy. Hard work was better. Dong Xi still had to go to the cultivation techniques Hall. Previously, the Sect Master had highly praised the ¡®Ethereal¡¯ movement technique, so Dong Xi had to learn it. Moreover, Dong Xi had already told the Sect Master how to enter the space. When the time came, the Grandmaster would only teach one disciple, so wouldn¡¯t Dong Xi be unable to learn anymore? That would be a huge loss. This kind of movement technique, coupled with her swordsmanship, was truly powerful. As long as she could master this movement technique, even if Dong Rourou came, and Dong Xi could not beat her, she could still run faster! When Dong Xi arrived at the Cultivation Technique Hall, it was still silent. Dong Xi scratched her head. It could only be said that sect disciples did not like to study. Even if she could not enter that space, there were still so many movement techniques in the Cultivation Technique Hall. Couldn¡¯t she learn more? In fact, Dong Xi did not know that even personal disciples could only enter the Cultivation Technique Hall three times a month. Dong Xi did not know about this because after she had entered with the password, she had note out¡­ Dong Xi walked to the door, and the door opened again without a sound. Dong Xi did not use a password and walked in directly¡­ This time, when she entered the space, the shadow inside seemed even more real. Dong Xi took out her long sword, and the shadow quickly arrived in front of Dong Xi. The long sword in the shadow¡¯s hand attacked Dong Xi¡¯s face. Dong Xi used the movement technique she had learned before to quickly retreat and avoid the attack. Dong Xi began to counterattack, but before she could even use a sword technique, her long sword was sent flying. The shadow¡¯s sword smacked Dong Xi¡¯s wrist. Although only her mind was in the space, the pain was very real. Dong Xi did not retreat. She rubbed her wrist and looked at the shadow. She did not continue studying. She exited the space, took out a piece of paper, and began to write seriously. She could not remember the sword moves clearly, so she could only draw them out with her poor drawing skills. After she finished drawing, she had to make somements, or else she might not understand what she was drawing. After analyzing the reason for her defeat, Dong Xi entered the space again. The shadow appeared again as if it had been waiting for a long time. Even though it was only a shadow, Dong Xi still said very respectfully, ¡°Senior, please advise me.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s swordsmanship was wed, but the creator made up for it with speed. When Dong Xi used this sword technique, her speed was not fast enough. This time, Dong Xi did not wait for the shadow to attack and took the lead to rush forward. Dong Xi swore that this was definitely the fastest move she had ever done in her life. Her sword was like a rainbow, and she had thought that she would seed, but to her surprise, she was easily blocked. Dong Xi knew that this sword technique waspletely insignificant in the shadow¡¯s eyes, but she did not expect it to be blocked so easily. Or perhaps it should not be said that he blocked it. The shadow¡¯s long sword had already touched Dong Xi¡¯s chest. It was truly painful, and it made Dong Xi recall the fear of being pierced in the chest by a sword when she had just transmigrated. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened, and her emotions fluctuated greatly. She immediately exited the space. Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at her chest. The clothes she was wearing were intact, and the pain was slowly disappearing. Dong Xi clutched her chest and gasped for breath. ¡°No, there¡¯s a w in the sword technique,¡± Dong Xi muttered to herself. Sighing a few times, Dong Xi took out a piece of paper again and began to write and draw. As the stickman-like doodle got better and better, Dong Xi also slowly understood where the problem was. It was just that she could not be fast, and the way she drew her sword was wrong. The trajectory of the sword move was toorge, so there was a gap in her chest just now, and it was exposed to the opponent¡¯s attack. Dong Xi had to change the trajectory of her sword moves and abandon some useless movements. Only then could she use her sword moves while protecting her vital points. Chapter 252 - 252 Loophole 252 Loophole After thinking it through, Dong Xi put away the paper and entered the space again¡­ Dong Xi had found many ws in such a simple sword move twice. In the middle of her cultivation, Dong Xi even went to participate in apetition. This time, the winner was a Senior Sister from the Sword Sect, who was at the 11th level of the Qi Refinement stage, called Gu Yao. She was extremely beautiful, but very cold, giving people a feeling that one could only look at her from afar and not y with her. These people who had reached the 11th or 12th level of Qi Refinement were all ruthless people. They had very high requirements for themselves in order to strive for a perfect foundation. They werepletely different from those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage after the 10th level of Qi Refinement. Whether it was in terms of hard work or aptitude, these 11th or 12th level Senior Brothers and sisters were perfect. !! Dong Xi was defeated in this match. She was forced to the edge by Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s sword. The sword Qi contained spiritual energy, so Dong Xi could not resist it at all. Knowing that she was no match for Senior Sister Gu Yao, Dong Xi got off the stage and stood there, cupping his fists. ¡°Thank you for your love, Senior Sister.¡± Gu Yao was an icy beauty, so she only nodded and did not say anything. The audience might not understand what was going on, but Dong Xi knew. She had been in the cultivation world for almost three years, so of course he knew some rules. It was normal to get injured in a fight, and the sword was merciless. The fight between Dong Xi and Gu Yao was normal, and Dong Xi did not even scratch Gu Yao. She knew how strong Senior Sister Gu Yao was, and because of this, Dong Xi secretly decided to build a perfect foundation. The difference between the 10th level and 11th level Qi Refinement did not seem big, but yesterday Senior Brother Zhuang Sheng and today¡¯s Senior Sister Gu Yao had a huge difference in strength. Dong Xi only left after Senior Sister Wang Ying announced Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s victory. Dong Xi lowered her head and hurried to the Cultivation Technique Hall, wanting to perfect her sword technique. Someone shouted, ¡°Dong Xi.¡± Dong Xi turned around and found that it was Senior Sister Gu Yao. She was dressed in white sect clothes and had a perfect figure. She was a natural beauty. Some people looked like men in sect clothes, but Senior Sister Gu Yao looked good no matter what she wore! Dong Xi was mesmerized by Gu Yao¡¯s beauty. Seeing here closer, Gu Yao said, ¡°Junior Sister, if there¡¯s time in the future, let¡¯s spar together.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately smiled and said, ¡°Alright!¡± Gu Yao took out themunication jade slip and said, ¡°Then, shall we exchange our spiritual breaths?¡± Dong Xi looked at Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s back and could not help but wonder if she would be as beautiful as her after so many years. Dong Xi really loved her looks and figure. Dong Xi once again entered the Cultivation Technique Hall and started cultivating. She had no idea what time it was. After an unknown amount of time, Dong Xi concluded the sixth sword move. There were still four more moves that she could not use now, but she recorded them down on paper. Once again, the cultivation began. Dong Xi was no longer afraid when the shadow pointed a long sword at her chest. This was no longer a demon in her heart. It was just a touch, but Dong Xi had been touched thousands of times¡­ At this moment, themunication jade slip lit up, and Dong Xi immediately left the space. She took out the jade slip and saw that it was a message from Senior Sister Wang Ying. Dong Xi had actually passed the sect¡¯s selection. It just so happened that he was in 100th ce and would represent the sect in the great tournament. Dong Xi knew that she had passed the selection this time because many members of the Sword Sect had been attacked. The sect had supplied them with many pills, and even though they had recovered from their injuries, it would take a long time for him to return to their peak state. As the only disciple who had been selected before reaching the 10th level of Qi Refinement, Dong Xi had received the attention of everyone in the sect. If it was anyone else, many people might not be convinced, but Dong Xi was different. Dong Xi had exchanged all of her points to gather the souls of her fellow disciples. Who would dare to be dissatisfied with such a person? No one in the Sword Sect would agree to it. Dong Xi put away the jade slip and stood up from the ground. She had gained a lot from meditating for so long, but her legs were a little numb. In the future, she would just participate in the inter-sect tournament and go out to see the world. However, before she set off, she still had to practice the swordsmanship Dong Xi had summarized. Dong Xi looked at the ws in the summary and thought for a moment. She took out a jade slip and sent a message to Eldest Senior Brother. [Senior Brother, are you there?] Liang Yan saw that it was a message from Dong Xi and immediately replied. [I¡¯m here.] Dong Xi immediately replied. [Eldest Senior Brother, can we exchange pointers on swordsmanship?] ¡­ Liang Yan looked at the message and was silent for a long time before he replied to it. [Sure.] Dong Xiughed. In the eyes of others, she seemed to be overestimating herself. The reason why he was looking for the Eldest Senior Brother was also the result of Dong Xi¡¯s careful consideration. In the entire sect, there were very few who were proficient in swordsmanship. Only the Eldest Senior Brother and Master Yijian were great with the sword. Chapter 253 - 253 Are We Really Exchanging Pointers? 253 Are We Really Exchanging Pointers? As for little Senior Sister Chi Yan, because of her spiritual Qi attribute, she cultivated other techniques. Dong Xi might not be able to defeat Master Yijian, but with Eldest Senior Brother, she might be able to put up a fight. Dong Xi took the wooden sword she used in the Sword Sect and went to the cave abode of the Eldest Senior Brother. Liang Yan looked at the girl in front of him and frowned. He said, ¡°Are you really sparring?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°But we¡¯ll onlypare notes on swordsmanship without using spiritual Qi. We¡¯ll onlypare notes on what Master Yijian taught us. What do you think, Eldest Senior Brother?¡± Liang Yan was speechless. So that¡¯s what this little girl is like. I wonder where she got the courage to think that she can spar with Liang Yan. With different levels of cultivation, one¡¯s understanding of swordsmanship would also be different. Liang Yan was already at thete Golden Core stage, two major cultivation realms higher than Dong Xi. ¡°Sure, no problem,¡± Liang Yan nodded. Liang Yan did not say much. He would just use sparring to talkter. Dong Xi was holding a wooden sword, and Liang Yan was naturally holding a wooden sword as well. The two of them stood facing each other. ¡°Senior Brother, I won¡¯t hesitate then!¡± Dong Xi said. Liang Yan was speechless. What? Why did this girl say her own lines? Who should be the one to be impolite? Before Liang Yan could think clearly, Dong Xi had already rushed over. Liang Yan could tell that this was the first move of the sword technique. However, why was Dong Xi¡¯s starting stance different from the previous ones? Liang Yan furrowed his brows and thought to himself, ¡®This little girl has already made the wrong move, and she still wants to spar? Since she had rushed over, as her Senior Brother, I have to give her some guidance.¡¯ Dong Xi looked at her Senior Brother¡¯s cool opening move and sighed in her heart. As expected, Liang Yan also shared Dong Xi¡¯s previous w. Such a gaudy but hollow starting move was really useless. It had nothing to do with the first move, it just looked good. The two of them attacked at the same time. Liang Yan was shocked to find that the little girl was faster than him. The two wooden swords collided, but Dong Xi¡¯s sword move was pulled away in time, making a feint. Liang Yan looked at Dong Xi curiously. He quickly reacted and sent Dong Xi flying with her sword. The instant Dong Xi was sent flying, she flipped over andnded on the ground. She was not surprised in the slightest. No matter what, Eldest Senior Brother was also ate-stage Golden Core cultivator, so it was very normal that she could not beat him. Instead, it was Liang Yan who kept his sword and said, ¡°You said that you¡¯ll use the same sword move, but yours seems to be different?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve improved it,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°What do you think? Is it okay?¡± When Liang Yan heard this, he was shocked. ¡°You¡¯re quite bold, aren¡¯t you?¡± Liang Yan said. Master Yijian was also using this sword technique, but little Junior Sister had actually modified it? Although Eldest Senior Brother said it tactfully, Dong Xi heard it clearly. This time, Dong Xi did notugh and said with a serious face, ¡°Senior brother, although I¡¯m young and my cultivation is low, I know one thing¡­ Learning isn¡¯t a rigid thing. What others are suitable for might not be suitable for you, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Liang Yan frowned and looked at Dong Xi. ¡°You¡¯re the only young and reasonable person I¡¯ve ever met.¡± Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t doubt it. The opening move you used just now was just for show. There¡¯s no other use. The first move is to draw the sword in front of the chest, but you have to put it behind the back. This doesn¡¯t match the first move. Moreover, when you attacked just now, you should have realized that the bigger the movement of the sword, the slower the speed¡­¡± When Liang Yan heard this, he pondered for a long time before he nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯re right, but the creator of this sword technique is a mighty figure with profound cultivation. His understanding of the sword technique is higher than ours. If you can discover it, he is definitely aware of it as well.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s also adapted to the local conditions. Perhaps the swordsmanship created by our senior is suitable for him alone? It¡¯s also possible that he¡¯s cultivated some kind of movement technique or has some powerful body fortification technique, so he doesn¡¯t need to have as many scruples as we do. Perhaps our senior just needs to strike out with power.¡± This time, Liang Yan did not say anything. After thinking about it once more, he realized that Dong Xi¡¯s words made sense. ¡°Senior Brother, think about it carefully,¡± Dong Xi continued. Liang Yan pondered for a long time before he raised his wooden sword again and said, ¡°Junior Sister, let¡¯s try again.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll show you the results of my recentprehension, Senior Brother,¡± Dong Xi raised the wooden sword in her hand and said. Liang Yan was right. The higher one¡¯s cultivation, the better one¡¯sprehension of swordsmanship. Therefore, in Liang Yan¡¯s eyes, his Junior Sister¡¯s sword technique which had been improved was indeedcking in many ws. Dong Xi had been sent flying seven times by Liang Yan. Fortunately, Dong Xi¡¯s body-tempering had not fallen behind. Although Dong Xi was panting heavily, she was not so tired that she could not lift her sword. Chapter 254 - 254 Communication 254 Communication Dong Xi had just stood up and was ready to fight again. Liang Yan put away the wooden sword in his hand and said, ¡°Little Junior Sister, what loopholes have you found? Shall we have an exchange?¡± Dong Xi felt a sense of acknowledgment from her Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s words, and she was very happy. ¡°No problem. I¡¯ll show you the secret manual,¡± said Dong Xi. As she spoke, Dong Xi put away her wooden sword and took out the finished drawings. ¡°Senior Brother, take a look,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°This is the first move. I realized that if you do this, you will have a w in your chest area¡­¡± As Liang Yan listened to Dong Xi¡¯s words, he looked at the so-called secret manual. He was instantly dumbfounded. This¡­ What the hell is this drawing? Liang Yan looked at the annotations beside the painting and realized that he did not recognize these words at all. Of course, it was normal for Liang Yan to not recognize the words. When Dong Xi wrote it, she did not want to show it to anyone, so she used Simplified Chinese characters from her previous life. She also used many symbols and Arabic numbers. If Liang Yan could recognize it, then it would really be strange. Dong Xi exined the first style without stopping, her face full of pride, as if she had discovered a huge secret. She felt even more that she was a genius. After saying that, Dong Xi looked at the Eldest Senior Brother. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, did you understand what I just said?¡± Liang Yan shook his head with a serious expression, then nodded. He understood a little, but he did not fully understand. Dong Xi was speechless. Forget it, not everyone would understand the stickman drawing. Dong Xi stood up helplessly and took out her wooden sword. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, take a good look. I¡¯ll demonstrate it for you.¡± Upon seeing Dong Xi¡¯s demonstration, Liang Yan finally understood. Initially, Liang Yan had thought that as long as one¡¯s cultivation was high, one would be able to achieve a faster speed. However, looking at his Junior Sister¡¯s serious attitude, Liang Yan suddenly realized that he was wrong. Since ancient times, the way of the sword had been popr because it was broad and profound. As Dong Xi demonstrated, she exined a lot. Liang Yan also took out his wooden sword and gestured along with Dong Xi¡¯s movements. This time, Liang Yan held back 70 percent of his power, and Dong Xi was no longer sent flying. The two of them continued to attack each other. Just as the two of them were studying together, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived and disturbed the atmosphere. Liang Yan lifted the restrictions of the cave abode and saw a deer outside. Dong Xi looked at the deer and found it familiar. She then looked at his Senior Brother in surprise. Liang Yan looked a little embarrassed. He coughed a few times and said, ¡°Tell Song Qingfeng that I¡¯m busy these days and give me a few more days.¡± At this time, the deer suddenly spoke. It was Song Qingfeng¡¯s voice. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°You still want to bezy? Senior Brother, if you don¡¯t treasure this opportunity to earn spirit stones, I¡¯ll find someone else.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not cking off. I¡¯ll personally deliver it to you in a few days,¡± Liang Yan said with a serious expression. The deer turned around and saw Dong Xi. He looked as if Song Qingfeng was here. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Ah? Junior Sister is also here? If you don¡¯t understand something, you cane to me. Why bother Eldest Senior Brother? At that time, Master told you to follow me, your Second Senior Brother.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she did not feel guilty at all. She said loudly, ¡°I¡¯m studying swordsmanship with Eldest Senior Brother.¡± ¡°Forget it,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°You still don¡¯t like me, your Second Senior Brother.¡± The meaning behind his words was somewhat unclear, making Dong Xi feel a little guilty for a moment. With that, the spirit talisman on the deer¡¯s body burned, and the deer disappeared. Dong Xi turned to look at her Senior Brother. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, could it be that Second Senior Brother is that deer?¡± Dong Xi had stayed in the world of cultivators for quite a long time, so she had seen many things. Even if Eldest Senior Brother said that Second Senior Brother¡¯s original form was a deer, Dong Xi could still ept it. When Liang Yan heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, a smile appeared on his face. He said, ¡°That¡¯s just Song Qingfeng¡¯s puppet. If he knows what you¡¯re thinking, he¡¯ll probably die of anger.¡± Dong Xiughed foolishly. Fortunately, Second Senior Brother was not here. ording to how petty Second Senior Brother was, he would definitely hold a grudge. Speak of the devil. Song Qingfeng was not that far away from them, so he came over personally. Song Qingfeng waved his fan with one hand and put the other behind his back. Dong Xi only had one thought left. This is bad. Second Senior Brother is here to settle the score. ¡°Junior Sister,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile, ¡°is your Second Senior Brother such a stupid deer in your eyes?¡± Although Song Qingfeng was smiling, Dong Xi was being very careful. Dong Xi lowered her head and nervously clutched the wooden sword. The wooden sword that had been perfectly fine before started to have scratch marks from Dong Xi¡¯s anxious clutching. Chapter 255 - 255 You Guys Practice, I’ll Watch 255 You Guys Practice, I¡¯ll Watch v ¡°No¡­¡± Dong Xi said with a guilty conscience. Song Qingfeng snorted and looked at the two people in front of him. He said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys practicing the sword? You guys practice, I¡¯ll watch.¡± Dong Xi looked at the wooden sword in her hand, then at Liang Yan. For a moment, she did not know what to do. Liang Yan¡¯s expression was indeed natural. He kept the wooden sword in his hand and said, ¡°Weren¡¯t you in a hurry for the pills? I¡¯ll immediately go and refine it, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± With that, Liang Yan ran off. Dong Xi looked at her Eldest Senior Brother and was dumbfounded. In the past, it was Second Senior Brother who was afraid of Eldest Senior Brother. But now, it was the other way around? Dong Xi said, ¡°E-Eldest Senior Brother¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, Eldest Senior Brother had already run far away. Dong Xi then looked at Second Senior Brother, who was flipping through Dong Xi¡¯s stickman notes. ¡°Did you draw all of this?¡± asked Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi nodded honestly. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°That¡¯s true. Only you could have written such ugly words.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. You can be fierce, but you can¡¯t humiliate people like this! Song Qingfeng tidied up the paper and handed it to Dong Xi. He said, ¡°You¡¯re still young, why do you have to work so hard? In terms of cultivation speed, you¡¯re ahead of many people. It¡¯s not necessarily a good thing to cultivate too fast. You have to be careful in everything you do.¡± Dong Xi, who had always been well-behaved, shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s not a good thing to cultivate too fast, but it¡¯s definitely not a good thing to cultivate too slowly.¡± Song Qingfeng frowned and asked, ¡°Junior Sister, why do you say that?¡± Dong Xi said ambiguously, ¡°Because¡­ I have a reason to work hard.¡± Seeing that Dong Xi did not want to tell him, Song Qingfeng did not continue to ask. It was true that she had been working hard, but he was worried that Dong Xi¡¯s mental state would not be able to keep up if she cultivated too fast. Song Qingfeng patted his clothes and said, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll bring you along the next time I go on an experiential training, so that you can broaden your horizons.¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng in surprise and said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, when do you have time to go out and gain experience?¡± Song Qingfeng waved the fan in his hand and said with a smile, ¡°After I enter the top three in the inter-sect tournament.¡± ¡°Good luck, Second Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi said. Song Qingfeng smiled. He did not care about the false reputation. He just wanted to know who Dong Xi was. ¡°Good luck to you too,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°You¡¯ve also entered the top 100. It¡¯s good to go out and broaden your horizons.¡± The sparring ended with Second Senior Brother¡¯s interruption. Dong Xi was thinking that she would be going to thepetition in a few days¡¯ time. That ce was the territory of the Thunder Sound Temple. It was originally in the Green Cloud Sect, but the things that the Green Cloud Sect had done made everyone unable to trust them, so they changed the ce at thest minute. Although Dong Xi¡¯s strength was not high, she could still take this opportunity to see the moves of other sects. Now that there was still more than half a month¡¯s time, she had to make good use of it to cultivate. After saying goodbye to Second Senior Brother, Dong Xi went to the alchemy room. The primary alchemy room was already full, so Dong Xi could only grit her teeth and go to the intermediate alchemy room. She sat in the alchemy room for a long time. When she thought of thepetition, Dong Xi returned to her cave abode. After removing the restriction, Dong Xi entered and was immediately stunned. The Immortal¡¯s cave was covered in hundreds of leaves. Liu Qing¡¯s tree was also withered and listless, and the ground was covered in ayer of fallen leaves. There were cobwebs everywhere. The flower beds and experimental fields seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Even the pond was dry, and the soil at the bottom of the pond had cracked. Such a scene caused Dong Xi¡¯s brain to be stunned. She did not know how to react. Although Dong Xi did note back often, she had long believed that this was her home. She shared this home with Liu Qing, Songsong, and Big Snake. That¡¯s right, Big Snake! Dong Xi immediately ran to the cave dwelling, opened the door, and entered. She found it empty inside. The snake¡¯s decorations had all disappeared, and only the stone bed and table were left. Dong Xi¡¯s ears rang. The surroundings were so quiet that she could even hear her own breathing. What on earth had happened? Could it be that Big Snake was discovered? But where were Liu Qing and Songsong? Tears instantly rolled down Dong Xi¡¯s face. A hand appeared and wiped the tears away. Dong Xi raised her head in shock and looked at the huge snake standing in front of her. The surrounding illusion dissipated little by little, and it returned to its previous lively appearance. ¡°Oh, so you are capable of crying?¡± Big Snake asked in surprise. ¡°Why did you leave for so many days?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s body stiffened, and her eyes were filled with tears. She could not react in time, and her emotions could not be adjusted at all. Was it just an illusion? But why did the illusion feel so real? In the past, Dong Xi could tell at a nce that the ghost forest that the Big Snake conjured up was an illusion! Chapter 256 - 256 Are You Sick? 256 Are You Sick? Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief, and his body felt a little warmer. Dong Xi could not help but ask, ¡°Are you sick? Why did you have to create such a barrier?¡± Su Cheng frowned and looked at Dong Xi with dissatisfaction. However, he did not say anything, and just jumped on top of the Big Snake¡¯s head. His big tail drooped on Dong Xi¡¯s face. !! Dong Xi raised her hand and held Songsong in her arms, and Songsong squeaked. In Dong Xi¡¯s mind, Songsong¡¯s voice also appeared. Songsong said, ¡°Little Xi! Isn¡¯t Songsong¡¯s illusion very powerful? Did I scare you?¡± Dong Xi immediately fell silent. After a long time, Dong Xi looked at Songsong. Dong Xi gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I suddenly want to try squirrel meat and see if it¡¯s delicious.¡± Songsong looked at Dong Xi in shock and said, ¡°Why¡­ Was Songsong not powerful enough? Squirrels aren¡¯t tasty and don¡¯t have much meat.¡± Dong Xi looked at Songsong¡¯s pitiful appearance and said with tears of joy, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. I was so scared that I thought you had left.¡± Songsong held Dong Xi¡¯s face and patted her gently. It said, ¡°Little Xi, don¡¯t be afraid. Songsong will never leave.¡± When the atmosphere was just right, a cold snort was heard. Dong Xi suddenly remembered that she had misunderstood Su Cheng just now. Umm¡­ Dong Xi was a little scared and could only squeeze out a smile. Dong Xi said, ¡°Big Snake, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve mistakenly judged you.¡± Su Cheng snorted coldly and said with contempt in his eyes, ¡°You can¡¯t see through such a low-level illusion. If my true body were to cast a spell, you would be trapped for the rest of your life.¡± Dong Xi immediately took advantage of the situation and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯re right. My cultivation is too low. I can¡¯t even see through the illusion. I¡¯ve judged a good person wrongly. I shouldn¡¯t have done that.¡± ¡°Are you saying that I¡¯m a good person in your heart?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s lips curved up. Dong Xi immediately shook her head, and Su Cheng¡¯s face immediately darkened. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi viciously, as if he would deal with her if she said one more word. ¡°No, you¡¯re a good snake, not a good person,¡± said Dong Xi with a serious face. Dong Xi was very strict about whether it was a human or a snake. Su Cheng was speechless. Are you ying word games? Liu Qing was not as heartless as Songsong. The snake¡¯s imposing manner made Liu Qing not dare to step forward. Liu Qing stood under the tree and waved to Dong Xi. Dong Xi was about to go over when she heard Su Cheng say, ¡°You didn¡¯te back for such a long time, and you¡¯re leaving already. When are you going to help me with the healing? Do you really think that I¡¯ve given you my spirit stones for nothing?¡± Dong Xi was a little embarrassed. She thought that those spirit stones had been exchanged for points and could not be exchanged back¡­ Dong Xi immediately put on a servant¡¯s expression and said, ¡°I was wrong. I¡¯ve been in closed-door cultivation all this time and just came out. If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll treat your injuries now?¡± After saying that, Dong Xi secretly looked at Su Cheng. He had thought that such a good attitude would make the Big Snake less angry, but Su Cheng¡¯s expression turned even uglier. ¡°It seems that not only did you forget to heal me, but you also forgot about the pills,¡± Su Cheng said. Dong Xi was stunned, not knowing how to exin. Dong Xi had indeed forgotten. She had forgotten everything when she was cultivating. Moreover, Dong Xi had previously refined a lot of medicinal pills for the Big Snake, and they were used up so quickly? ¡°Have you taken all those medicinal pills?¡± asked Dong Xi. One had to know that there were still more than a dozen chances to enter the frog statue. Su Cheng touched the bracelet on his wrist and said, ¡°Of course, the more pills, the better.¡± Dong Xi sighed softly. She had to admit that she had led a hard life. He had no choice. The Big Snake was a financial backer. Dong Xi looked at the snake, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, ¡°I have to participate in the sectpetition soon. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to refine pills for a long time, and I can¡¯t treat your injuries. Can you wait until Ie back?¡± Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi was surprised that the Big Snake was so easy to talk to. ¡°Take me with you,¡± Su Cheng said faintly. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng in shock, her face full of question marks. What was the Big Snake thinking? It was apetition where all the sects were gathered. If the Big Snake followed her, wouldn¡¯t it be courting death? ¡°Really?¡± Dong Xi asked in disbelief. ¡°Really!¡± Su Cheng nodded. ¡°All the big sects will be there. Aren¡¯t you afraid they¡¯ll find out?¡± asked Dong Xi with a frown. Su Cheng¡¯s face was cold, but Dong Xi could still see Su Cheng¡¯s disdain. Su Cheng said, ¡°So what if a few big sects work together? They won¡¯t be able to discover me either.¡± Dong Xi thought of the Big Snake¡¯s injured tail and the injuries in its veins. She did not know where the Big Snake got the courage to speak like this. She did not know if the Big Snake was pretending or not, but Dong Xi did not believe it at all. Chapter 257 - 257 What to Do After Being Discovered? 257 What to Do After Being Discovered? ¡°What if we¡¯re discovered?¡± Dong Xi carefully asked. ¡°Well then there¡¯s one thing that will happen¡­¡± Su Cheng said with a smile. ¡°You¡¯ll be buried with me.¡± Dong Xi suddenly felt a lingering fear and thought about how to reject Su Cheng. He continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t bring me, I¡¯ll make destroy the Alchemy Sect.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. How could he threaten people like this? She had no choice now, right? If Dong Xi was given another chance, she would have just roasted this little ck snake and eaten it when she first picked it up. As soon as she had this thought, she felt a strange feeling. She looked up and saw Su Cheng¡¯s cold eyes. Dong Xi suppressed the thoughts in her heart in fear. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Yes, you said it yourself. I have to. With you around, I¡¯ll have the confidence.¡± Su Cheng knew that Dong Xi did not mean what she said, but he did not expose her. Dong Xi watched as Su Cheng entered the cave before running to Liu Qing¡¯s side. When Liu Qing saw Dong Xiing over, she happily came down from the tree and hugged Dong Xi affectionately. Dong Xi did not respond to Liu Qing in time just now, causing her to feel a little embarrassed. However, there was nothing she could do. She could not defeat the Big Snake, so he could only be obedient. ¡°I was talking to the Big Snake just now, sorry,¡± said Dong Xi. Liu Qing said understandingly, ¡°It¡¯s okay. That guy is really scary. You can talk to him first. I¡¯ll wait. It¡¯s okay.¡± Liu Qing could not tell Su Cheng¡¯s cultivation, but they were all demons and could instinctively feel Su Cheng¡¯s fear. It was a very strange feeling. Liu Qing could not tell if it was her bloodline or her cultivation, but she was very sure that the Big Snake was very powerful. It could destroy Liu Qing¡¯s soul with just a move of his fingers. Dong Xi looked at the sensible Liu Qing and felt very warm. She said, ¡°How have you been these past few days? Are you satisfied with this ce?¡± Speaking of this, Liu Qing immediately said, ¡°Very good! The spiritual energy in the previous vige was too little, but the spiritual energy here is abundant. I think I¡¯m about to break through now.¡± Dong Xi looked at Liu Qing¡¯s happy expression and was also very happy. She also told Liu Qing that she would be going out tomorrow and asked her to cultivate well. She also asked Songsong to stay at home and apany Liu Qing. Liu Qing agreed, but she was hesitating to tell Dong Xi something. ¡°Liu Qing, just say what you want to say,¡± said Dong Xi. Liu Qing sighed and said with her head lowered. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just miss Ah Leng. Ever since she regained consciousness, we¡¯ve always been together. But now that she¡¯s out alone, I keep worrying.¡± Dong Xi consoled her. ¡°The path of Immortal cultivation is lonely. There will be no one to apany you all the time. If I can get a jade slip to Ah Leng, I will definitely get her toe and see you.¡± ¡®How good would it be if everyone had amunication jade slip?¡¯ Dong Xi thought. ¡®When I return, I¡¯ll buy amunication jade slip for Liu Qing.¡¯ Time flew by quickly. In the early morning, Dong Xi finished her training and stood up. Today was the day of departure. He had agreed with the Big Snake that they would go together. Dong Xi stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave abode. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she saw a ck shadow fly out from the door and attach itself to Dong Xi¡¯s wrist. The snake patterns were exactly the same as before. Dong Xi rolled down her sleeve and wanted to cover it up, but she felt a little helpless. Was the Big Snake doing this because he was afraid that Dong Xi would go back on her word? What Dong Xi thought was right. Su Cheng was afraid that Dong Xi would go back on her promise at thest minute and was toozy to talk nonsense with Dong Xi, so he directly turned into a snake tattoo and attached himself to Dong Xi¡¯s arm. Dong Xi told Liu Qing to look after Songsong and told her not to run around. She also told her to leave a lot of spirit fruits behind for fear that Songsong would mess around at home. After settling everything, Dong Xi took out her little leaf and flew to the square to gather. Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core cultivators were all there, a total of 100 people. By the time Dong Xi arrived, almost all of them had already arrived. Dong Xi wanted to look for a familiar figure, but she could not find him after a long time. Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother had not arrived yet. The other disciples who were close to them had not made it into the top 100 because their cultivation was not high enough. Dong Xi let out a soft sigh. She took out hermunication jade slip and was about to urge her Senior Brothers when she saw people walking over one by one and saying excitedly, ¡°Junior Sister, Junior Sister Dong Xi!¡± ¡°Senior Brother Xiong Ye!¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Previously, the two of them had practiced together and had a good rtionship. Xiong Ye came to Dong Xi¡¯s side. Just as he was about to say something, Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother has also entered the top 100?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Xiong Ye said. ¡°It¡¯s too difficult. Let¡¯s not talk about bringing glory to the sect. As long as I meet the people of the Ningtian Sect, I, your Senior Brother, will also teach them a good lesson.¡± ¡°What¡¯s your rank, Senior Brother?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Just as she said that, Dong Xi noticed that Xiong Ye¡¯s expression immediately changed subtly. Dong Xi was a little confused. Xiong Ye was silent for a long time before he said in embarrassment, ¡°The same as you, Junior Sister.¡± Chapter 258 - 258 The Most Important Thing Is Participation 258 The Most Important Thing Is Participation Dong Xi could not help but smile. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The most important thing is to participate. Friendshipes first.¡± What a coincidence. Dong Xi was ranked 100th in the Qi Refinement stage, while Senior Brother Xiong Ye was ranked 100th in the Foundation Establishment stage. Both of them were at the bottom, and this made the two of them appreciate each other. Xiong Ye did not really care about the ranking since he had already tried his best. He took out two spirit fruits and gave them to Dong Xi. Xiong Ye said, ¡°Junior Sister, keep this well.¡± Although this spirit fruit was not anything too great, it was not cheap either. ¡°Senior Brother, I don¡¯t want it,¡± said Dong Xi immediately. ¡°If you need it to refine pills, just send it to the pharmacy hall.¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t ask you to help me refine the pill. I just wanted to thank you,¡± Xiong Ye said, embarrassed. ¡°Huh?¡± Dong Xi doubtfully said. ¡°You¡¯re thanking me?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Xiong Ye said. ¡°When Ipeted with Duan Leng the other day, someone ced bets to bet on you. I¡¯m not familiar with Duan Leng, so I ced all my money on you. I never thought that¡­ I¡¯d made a huge profit.¡± Dong Xi was instantly petrified. She felt as if she had missed out on a hundred million. ¡°Senior Brother, if there¡¯s such a good thing in the future, you must, must help me ce a bet,¡± said Dong Xi with a pained expression. Xiong Yeughed and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you alchemists shouldn¡¯t becking in money, right?¡± ¡°Who said so?¡± Dong Xi said with a righteous tone. ¡°Those are just rumors! Besides, who would mind having too many spirit stones?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Xiong Ye nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely help Junior Sister ce a bet if such a thing happens again in the future. I hope you can create another glorious achievement.¡± In the end, Xiong Ye still gave her the two spirit fruits. Dong Xi also gave Xiong Ye two bottles of medicinal pills. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, keep this well, it will definitelye in handy. I don¡¯t have much else, but I have a lot of pills. If you meet the people of the Green Cloud Sect, give them a big surprise!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, Junior Sister.¡± Xiong Ye nodded. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll ept it.¡± As the two of them chatted, almost everyone had arrived. This time, the leader was the rtively steady Master Yi Kun. In order to make his disciples listen to him, Yi Kun even borrowed the prison tower from the Sect Master. The prison tower was a small ck room that blocked the five senses of the divine sense. Those who entered could only meditate and do nothing else. The few troublemakers who went this time immediately became well-behaved when they saw Yi Kun. In fact, Yi Kun could easily take care of these disciples. The reason why he brought the Prison Tower was just to scare the new disciples. Dong Xi stood beside the Eldest and Second Senior Brothers and looked at Master Yi Kun. When she noticed that everyone had quieted down, Dong Xi said in a low voice, ¡°Senior Brother, what¡¯s that in Yi Kun¡¯s hand?¡± Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never experienced it before. I¡¯ll let your Second Senior Brother tell you.¡± Dong Xi instantly understood what Liang Yan meant. With one look, it was clear that Second Senior Brother had been forced into it before. Dong Xi looked at song Qingfeng with a smile. Song Qingfeng put away his fan and said with an unnatural expression, ¡°How would I know? I¡¯m the pride of the sect, how could the Sect Master lock me in that thing?¡± Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng with a meaningful look and did not say anything. Song Qingfeng gave Liang Yan a warning look, telling him not to talk nonsense. Liang Yanughed contemptuously. He looked at the Prison Tower in Yi Kun¡¯s hand and said, ¡°It is said that there are 81 spaces in that tower. Those who go in will have their divine sense and five senses blocked, and they can¡¯t cultivate until theye out.¡± Song Qingfeng immediately let out a grunt. Then, he shut up immediately. Song Qingfeng looked at the Prison Tower, still a little scared. After a moment of silence, Song Qingfeng said again, ¡°If it¡¯s as simple as you say, it¡¯s really not scary. The main thing is that there are illusionary figures inside, chanting incantations in front of you day and night.¡± After saying that, Song Qingfeng felt Liang Yan and Dong Xi sizing him up. The two of them looked exactly the same. Song Qingfeng coughed awkwardly and said, ¡°I was told by someone else¡­¡± Liang Yan gave Dong Xi a look, and Dong Xi immediately smiled. Dong Xi had a preliminary understanding of the use of this Prison Tower. In the future, she would definitely be obedient and be a good disciple of the sect. Daoist Yi Kun took out an airboat. This airboat was of a much higher grade than the one Dong Xi and Ke Xin had been on. The golden airboat had a dragon¡¯s head at the front and a dragon¡¯s tail at the back. It was surrounded by arrays and had four floors. Those who knew about it would be going for apetition, but those who did not would think it was a vacation. Daoist Yi Kun took out a top-grade spirit stone and threw it into the dragon¡¯s head. The dragon¡¯s head let out a long cry, and Dong Xi instinctively used her spiritual energy to protect her ears. ¡°Board the ship in an orderly manner,¡± Daoist Yi Kun shouted. At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s mind returned to her body. She was led by her two Senior Brothers and they rushed towards the airboat. Chapter 259 - 259 Where’s the Cold and Aloof Attitude? 259 Where¡¯s the Cold and Aloof Attitude? Dong Xi waspletely stunned. Where was the cold and aloof attitude? Should not they wait for the others to go up before it was their turn? At this time, a Spiritual Force Helmet was put on Dong Xi¡¯s face. Liang Yan remembered to put up a protective shield for Dong Xi. The disciples of the Ningtian Sect watched as three people rushed towards the airboat, and one of them was covered with a protective shield. Dong Xi could only think of two words: thank you! !! Very quickly, Dong Xi became happy. Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother were smart, the three of them upied the three best rooms on the airboat. Of course, their rooms were not as nice as Master Yi Kun¡¯s room. The view was also very good on the top floor. Dong Xi was directly thrown into the middle room by the two senior brothers. Looking at the soft bed and dressing table in front of him, Dong Xi immediately felt as if she had evolved from a barbarian to a civilized era. Inparison, Dong Xi¡¯s Immortal¡¯s cave was extremely simple, but that Immortal¡¯s cave had nothing to do with Dong Xi. Dong Xi had been living in the courtyard for a long time¡­ Dong Xi immediately jumped onto the bed and rolled around happily. A faint fragrance entered his nose, as if it had calming effects. The sect was indeed curious. This kind of magic tool should be a high-grade one, right? Just as Dong Xi was sighing with emotion, someone knocked on the door. Dong Xi stood up from the bed and opened the door. It was Second Senior Brother. Song Qingfeng smiled and said, ¡°How is it? Do you need to add anything? But it will take about two days. You will be in this room for these two nights.¡± ¡°No need, this ce is already very good,¡± said Dong Xi with satisfaction. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s satisfied expression, Song Qingfeng smiled and said, ¡°Compared to your Immortal¡¯s cave, this ce is indeed very good.¡± Dong Xi was not angry. She needed to be thrifty with her spirit stones. Dong Xi was not a person who enjoyed life. It was fine as long as he had a ce. She did not need too many material things in her life. ¡°Second Senior Brother, what grade is this airboat?¡± asked Dong Xi out of curiosity. ¡°It has such a high-end and grand atmosphere.¡± Song Qingfeng waved his fan and said, ¡°This is a treasure left behind by our founder. It¡¯s a Half-Immortal tool. Usually, there¡¯s no way we can¡¯t have the chance to ride this thing. I guess what the Green Cloud Sect did before scared them. In order to save their disciples from danger, they let us use this airboat.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes suddenly changed and he said in shock, ¡°What¡­? A Half-Immortal tool?¡± Liang Yan also walked out of the house. He looked at the two of them and said, ¡°You¡¯re not going to rest, and you still have time to chat?¡± ¡°What?¡± asked Song Qingfeng. ¡°Wasn¡¯t this trip a vacation? Or should I say that Eldest Senior Brother doesn¡¯t have much confidence in thispetition?¡± Liang Yan had been provoked by Song Qingfeng for the past 200 years and was used to it. Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°There are many geniuses in the cultivation world. I don¡¯t have the confidence that you do.¡± This was Dong Xi¡¯s first time participating in such apetition, but judging from the looks of her two Senior Brothers, it should not be their first time. The two Senior Brothers were both in the Golden Core stage. Their victory or defeat would affect the distribution of the resources in the Secret Realm and was very important. As for Dong Xi, who was at the bottom of the Qi Refinement stage, she was the one with the lowest cultivation in thepetition this time. Compared to Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, Dong Xi indeed looked like she was on a sightseeing tour. ¡°Good luck, my Senior Brothers,¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°defeat as many enemies as you can! Each of you should defeat at least 500 enemies!¡± The two of them, who were originally a little unhappy, were stunned when they heard Dong Xi¡¯s sudden words. Then, they looked at the slightly excited Dong Xi. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®good luck¡¯?¡± Liang Yan asked immediately. Song Qingfeng was also confused, ¡°How are we supposed to defeat 500 enemies?¡± Dong Xi frowned and bit her lip. She did not know what to say. Why did these two people focus on weird things? ¡°Well, what I mean is¡­¡± Dong Xi said. Before he could finish speaking, Dong Xi felt the two of them staring at her, as if they were humbly asking for advice. Dong Xi said helplessly, ¡°It¡¯s like you guys are fighting, and when you find that your spiritual energy is depleting, I will give you some pills. Simply put, it¡¯s to inspire you two, okay?¡± Song Qingfeng disyed his curiosity. He said, ¡°Then what about defeating 500 enemies?¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment and randomly said, ¡°Even though you¡¯re alone, you must have the will to punch hundreds of enemies.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but I use a sword, so do I have to punch them?¡± said Liang Yan as he came to a sudden realization. Dong Xi was extremely helpless. She really did not want to continue talking to these two people. At this moment, someone called out to Dong Xi. Dong Xi seemed to have been saved. She stretched her head out and saw that it was Senior Brother Xiong Ye on the deck of the airboat. Chapter 260 - 260 So It Was You Who Brought the Protective Shield 260 So It Was You Who Brought the Protective Shield When Xiong Ye saw Dong Xi, he was also very happy. When he saw Dong Xi standing between Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng, he immediately reacted and said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, so it was you who brought the protective shield!¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi¡¯s body reacted quickly and directly jumped onto the deck. She immediately covered Xiong Ye¡¯s mouth. She said, ¡°Senior Brother!¡± Xiong Ye was a little dumbfounded. He then heard Dong Xi clench her teeth and say, ¡°I¡¯m trying to save face, okay?¡± Xiong Ye¡¯s body was trembling a little, as if he was having a hard time holding it in. Dong Xi said in a low voice, ¡°Senior Brother, lower your voice and don¡¯t let others know. If others know¡­ Don¡¯t even think about having any pills from me in the future.¡± When Xiong Ye heard this, he immediately nodded his head obediently. Only then did Dong Xi let go of his hand. But seeing the smile on Xiong Ye¡¯s face, Dong Xi said helplessly, ¡°It¡¯s the protective shield that big Senior Brother gave me. I didn¡¯t want to do this.¡± Xiong Ye calmed himself down and tried to hold back hisughter. He said, ¡°The Senior Brothers love you so much, we all envy you. Why would weugh?¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and looked around. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, where do you live?¡± Xiong Ye pointed to the middle of the second floor and said, ¡°That¡¯s my room.¡± Xiong Ye¡¯s cultivation level was slightly higher than the Qi Refinement disciples, so he had more to do before he could board the airboat. When he came up, he could only grab a room on the second floor. Curious, Dong Xi went to Xiong Ye¡¯s room to take a look and found that this room was simpler. It was quite bare, and she did not even see a dressing table. Only then did Dong Xi understand the reason why her two Senior Brothers had brought her up. It was because the rooms on each floor were different, and the difference was quite big. When everyone had their own rooms, Yi Kun once again said loudly, ¡°All disciples, please be patient. We will set off in half an hour.¡± At first, Dong Xi wanted to go back to her room and wait for the airboat to take off. However, she had not imagined that she would see Senior Sister Gu Yao on the way. Therefore, she immediately gave up the idea of rxing and went to Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s room to chat. Senior Sister Gu Yao was at the 11th level of the Qi Refinement stage, but she lived in a corner of the 1st level. Although the room was simple, it was very quiet, which was in line with her personality. Dong Xi sat on the bench and watched as Senior Sister Gu Yao took out tea and spirit fruits. She also took out two bottles of Spirit Restore Pills and gave them to her. Gu Yao was stunned and said, ¡°Junior Sister, why are you giving me pills?¡± ¡°Think of it as me cheering for you, Senior Sister!¡± Dong Xi said. Seeing Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s confusion, Dong Xi gave her the same exnation as the one she gave to her two Senior Brothers. ¡°Senior Sister may not be able to use the other pills, but these Spirit Restore Pills will definitely be useful.¡± Gu Yao frowned and realized that Dong Xi had given her top-grade Spirit Restore Pills, so she could not ept it. Dong Xi directly stuffed the Spirit Restore Pills into her Senior sister¡¯s hand and even clutched her hand. She was extremely excited! Her Senior Sister¡¯s hand¡­ this hand was able to disy such amazing control of spiritual energy. This hand was so beautiful, so white and smooth, the only bad thing was¡­ Dong Xi did not have such hands. Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at her own hands, almost looking like she was crying. Dong Xi¡¯s face instantly turned serious and said, ¡°Senior Sister, have you forgotten that I¡¯m an alchemist? To us alchemists, giving away some pills isn¡¯t a big deal. Compared to these pills, I care more about the sect¡¯s honor. Senior Sister, my cultivation is too low, so I¡¯m probably only here to watch you all fight. Your sword technique is very powerful, so I hope you can win more resources for the sect. Only in your hands can this pill be put to full use.¡± Dong Xi was almost touched by these heartfelt words. After hearing that, Gu Yao¡¯s face also turned serious. Gu Yao thought for a long time and said, ¡°Junior Sister, I know that there are strong people out there. There are many people who are more powerful than me. Since you trust me, I will do my best.¡± Gu Yao¡¯s expression became more determined and her voice became steadier. ¡°Then, Senior Sister, please ept the pills,¡± said Dong Xi. Gu Yao raised her hand and took out a jade box. Gu Yao said, ¡°This is the Ice Doll. I got it by chance when I was out training. As a sword cultivator, I have no use for it. I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Ice Doll, a fifth-grade spiritual item, was an essential material for refining Tranquil Heart Pills. The Tranquil Heart Pills was a supplementary pill to resolve the Mental Demons. Dong Xi epted it and remembered in her heart that in the future, when she refined medicinal pills, she must send some pills to her Senior Sister. ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister. I¡¯ll ept it,¡± said Dong Xi. Gu Yao¡¯s face was slightly red as she said indifferently, ¡°Take it. I saw Junior Sister¡¯s swordsmanship in the Sword Sect and gained some enlightenment. I¡¯ve always wanted to ask Junior Sister for advice. I wonder if Junior Sister could give me some advice?¡± Dong Xi was a child who liked to help others, not to mention such a beautiful youngdy. She was more than willing to help her Senior Sister. Chapter 261 - 261 No Better Time Than the Present 261 No Better Time Than the Present Dong Xi immediately nodded in agreement. Dong Xi said, ¡°Let¡¯s start today?¡± Gu Yao did not expect that the little girl would be so anxious. She looked at Dong Xi in surprise and said, ¡°Thank you, I can¡¯t ask for more!¡± Although Dong Xi was a little out of ce, she was very serious when it came to serious business. Gu Yao said directly, ¡°That day, I saw your sword technique. It seemed to be very powerful. After fighting with you, I also gained some insights. Although my control of sword technique is better than Junior Sister¡¯s, in terms of understanding sword technique, Junior Sister¡¯s is much better than mine.¡± Gu Yao was very humble when she said that. After besides sword technique, Gu Yao was much better than Dong Xi. Dong Xi also knew her own limits and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Sister, you¡¯re being humble. I admit that I saw Senior Brother Liang Yan¡¯s all-out sword attack by chance, so I had some enlightenment. However, my understanding of swordsmanship is not very good. It can only be said to be rtively ordinary. The way of the sword is brilliant and emotionless, it is both for killing and protection¡­ Cultivators are born from heaven and earth, and their clothes, food, shelter, and transportation alle from heaven and earth, including our spiritual energy. After casting the spell, we can only rely on the spiritual energy in our bodies to cast the Sword Art, and its power is naturally rted to our cultivation, but if we borrow the power of heaven and earth¡­¡± Dong Xi exined seriously while Gu Yao also listened to her seriously. However¡­ Although she could understand what Dong Xi was saying, there was still a problem. Borrowing power of heaven and earth¡­ How could she borrow such power? Dong Xi could understand her Senior Sister¡¯s confusion. That day, Dong Xi happened to suddenly think of something and gained enlightenment. Dong Xi did not know how to exin. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi looked up at Gu Yao and said, ¡°Senior Sister, since I can¡¯t exin it well, let¡¯s go out. I¡¯ll show you. Maybe you¡¯ll learn something?¡± It was a great thing to have the opportunity toprehend other people¡¯s Sword Dao. Many people pretended not to be dumb after theyprehended some secret technique. None of them were as foolish as Dong Xi, who wanted to teach it personally. Gu Yao was a little touched. No wonder all the disciples of the Sword Sect liked Dong Xi. This girl was really likable. The two people directly came to the deck. There were not many disciples on the deck. Most of them were cultivating in their rooms. Only some people who were a bit excited as it was their first time taking an airboat were looking around. Dong Xi and Gu Yao were both famous people in the sect. One was the king of hard work, while the other was an icy beauty. No matter where they went, they would be the focus. Everyone¡¯s eyes asionally swept over the two of them. Gu Yao frowned and looked at Dong Xi. She wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to. Gu Yao thought that there were too many people, so she woulde again next time. However, Dong Xi did not care that others were secretly learning her technique. Despite learning this for a long time, all she could do is borrow the power of the wind. It would be impossible to copy her just by looking. Dong Xi did not take out her long sword. She said, ¡°Senior Sister, look at my feet.¡± Gu Yao was a little confused. Wasn¡¯t Dong Xi going to talk about sword techniques? Before Gu Yao could figure it out, Dong Xi suddenly moved. She directly jumped up to the second floor and then gently fell down. It looked no different from an ordinary movement technique. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, do you understand?¡± Gu Yao¡¯s face was solemn. Dong Xi looked at Gu Yao and knew that she did not understand anything. She sighed and took out her wooden sword, ¡°Senior Sister, now let¡¯s look at the sword technique.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s swordsmanship seemed to be in a mess, but it had an indescribable rhythm. Dong Xi was drawing the wind, using it to attack. Every sword attack contained the Qi of the Phoenix, so the killing power was naturally greater. Gu Yao still did not understand. Dong Xi demonstrated it a few times and Gu Yao felt a little embarrassed. She said, ¡°Junior Sister, I¡¯ll repeat what you did just now. I¡¯ll think about it when I get back.¡± Dong Xi was afraid that Gu Yao would go to a dead end, so before they parted, she said, ¡°Senior Sister, maybe I shouldn¡¯t say this, but if you really can¡¯tprehend and borrow power, don¡¯t hold it against yourself. Maybe it¡¯s not suitable for you. There are so many great Dao, there must be one that suits you.¡± Gu Yao looked into Dong Xi¡¯s clear eyes, as if she could see through her at a nce. No wonder Dong Xi could cultivate so quickly. Although she was young, her heart was more determined than many people. Dong Xi knew what she wanted and would not be affected by external things or outsiders. Although Gu Yao did not make any substantial progress with Dong Xi¡¯s advice, it helped her temperament a lot. Gu Yao decided to work hard first and leave the rest to to God¡¯s will. Dong Xi returned to her room. The rooms next door were very quiet. Dong Xi sneakily leaned against the crack of the door, wanting to see if Second Senior Brother was cultivating. But before she could see anything, the door opened. Dong Xi slipped and fell right in. A ball of spiritual Qi protected Dong Xi¡¯s lower body, so when Dong Xi fell, it did not hurt much. Chapter 262 - 262 Where Did This Maid Come From? 262 Where Did This Maid Come From? Song Qingfeng was lying on the bed with a tea table in front of him with spirit fruits and spirit wine on it. Behind him, a servant girl was massaging his shoulders and Fanning him. ¡°What do you want to do? Why are you sneaking around?¡± When Dong Xi saw this scene, she was stunned. If she remembered correctly, Second Senior Brother seemed to have a fire spirit root. It was not possible for him to feel hot, right? Furthermore, where did Second Senior Brother get a maidservant? Seeing the shock in Dong Xi¡¯s eyes, Song Qingfeng stood up and waved his hand, turning the maidservant into a small porcin doll. ¡°Senior Brother, you have such a good thing?¡± Dong Xi said with envy. ¡°Can this puppet help you refine pills?¡± Song Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Dong Xi and said, ¡°If puppets could be used for alchemy, what business would you have? Now tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Dong Xi stood up and said. ¡°I just came back and wanted to see what Second Senior Brother is doing.¡± Before thepetition, if she could improve a little, it would mean a higher chance of winning. Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts were correct, but Song Qingfeng did not care about such a small chance of winning. ¡°Since I took the trouble to take part,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll be in the top three.¡± From his tone, he was almost certain. Senior Brother Liang Yan did not dare to say so, but Song Qingfeng had such confidence. The grandpetition did not restrict the use of spiritual talismans and Dharma artifacts. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage could not even break through Song Qingfeng¡¯s defense. What was the point of suspense? Coming here was just a formality. Dong Xi was speechless. ¡°Second Senior Brother is mighty!¡± Dong Xi said. Song Qingfeng smiled with satisfaction. He said, ¡°Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. Don¡¯t be beaten into submission in the first round.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi was very vexed now. There was once a silence spell, why did she not learn it to silence this man?! Second Senior Brother was handsome and elegant. As long as he did not open his mouth, he would definitely be sought after by everyone. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely make it through the first round!¡± Dong Xi said. With that, Dong Xi turned around and left. Song Qingfeng¡¯sughter came from behind her, which was particrly harsh. Dong Xi angrily returned to her room, sat on her bed, and began cultivating. After a while, Dong Xi opened her eyes and found that she was not used to such a soft bed. She took out a hard futon from her storage ring and sat on it to continue cultivating. At this time, it was not dark yet, and there was no moon. Dong Xi could only use fire spiritual energy to temper her heart bit by bit. After Dong Xi had honed all her internal organs, she could proceed to the next stage of body tempering. Dong Xi was very serious in tempering, but the airboat was jolting. Dong Xi immediately got up and walked out of the room. As soon as she stepped out, Dong Xi was shocked. The airboat seemed to be wrapped in a dark cloud, and the protective shield of the airboat isted it from the dark cloud. After that, dense bolts of lightning flickered outside the protective shield. The purple lightning turned the protective shield purple as well. The boat trembled, and many disciples walked out of it. At this moment, Daoist Yi Gua said, ¡°All disciples, please calm down. It¡¯s just a thundercloud. It won¡¯t break the protective shield. Don¡¯t worry.¡± This was also Dong Xi¡¯s first time seeing thunderclouds at such a close distance. The airboat was still moving forward, and lightning kept exploding in the surroundings. Dong Xi thought of the possibility of body forging and wanted to try, but with so many people around, she could not show off. After that, Dong Xi thought of borrowing power. As for what power¡­ Dong Xi lowered her head and silently looked at the snake tattoo on his wrist. The corners of her mouth curled up into an evil smile. She immediately ced his finger on the snake mark and poured his fire spiritual energy into it. It was like a stone sinking into the sea. Su Cheng had a long dream. In the dream, he was still a little snake, slithering quickly in the jungle. On a hot summer day, he dived into the water and took a good swim. He did not need to worry about followers or demonic Qi. But not long after, the scene changed. Su Cheng found himself in a pot, and the temperature of the water in the pot was slowly rising. A little girl bared her teeth andughed, arrogantly saying that she wanted to eat snake soup. Su Cheng woke up and felt the heat around him and frowned. A voice appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. The Big Snake said, ¡°What is it?¡± Dong Xi knew that the Big Snake had woken up, and she immediately said, ¡°I remember that you have the power of lightning? Can you get the lightning outside¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Su Cheng said, ¡°No.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t do it?¡± Dong Xi bit his lips and said. ¡°I can, but I don¡¯t want to,¡± Su Cheng said. The little girl even dared to wake him up with fire spiritual energy, and now she was asking him to do things. Was he her ve? Chapter 263 - 263 Deal 263 Deal Dong Xi instantly understood what the Big Snake meant. Dong Xi said, ¡°I beg you, please help me this once. When we return, I will help you refine a few cauldrons of pills.¡± ¡°How many pills?¡± Su Cheng immediately asked. Su Cheng¡¯s voice was clearly raised, and Dong Xi could hear that he was ready toy out his demands. However, in order to temper her body, Dong Xi gritted her teeth and said, ¡°50!¡± !! ¡°Deal,¡± Su Cheng immediately said. Dong Xi was still a little excited. She was just about to take out the Thunderstruck Wood she had obtained in the newbie Mystic Realm and let the Big Snake store the power of lightning in it. The snake-shaped mark shed and then disappeared. Dong Xi looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, which were slowly dissipating. The airboat had already flown to the edge. Dong Xi had a premonition that the Big Snake was about to return. As expected, the moment the thundercloud was destroyed, Dong Xi¡¯s wrist felt as if it had been electrocuted. She rolled up her sleeves and saw the snake mark again. There were some faint purple electric arcs on it. Dong Xi immediately put down her sleeve and returned to her room. After closing the door and windows, Dong Xi said, ¡°Snake, where did you put the power of lightning?¡± ¡°I absorbed it,¡± the Big Snake said slowly. ¡°If you need it, just tell me.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Also, you promised me 50 furnaces of pills,¡± Su Cheng said again. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± In the end, the Big Snake absorbed the power of the lightning, but Dong Xi still wanted to refine pills for it? The snake took all the advantages? ¡°You demon beasts who have cultivated for a thousand years are indeed very shrewd,¡± Dong Xi gritted her teeth and said. Su Cheng was in a good mood and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± ¡°You must cooperate with me,¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°I want to refine my body. Otherwise, I can break my promise at any time and not refine pills for you.¡± ¡°Body refining?¡± Su Cheng was a little surprised. ¡°Using the power of lightning to refine the body?¡± In the past, only someone like Su Cheng was crazy enough to even imagine such a thing. ¡°Let¡¯s have a little lightning first, I¡¯ll get used to it,¡± said Dong Xi with a nod. The two of them had agreed before that Su Cheng would also give Dong Xi a little lightning, but the power of the lightning was weakened manifold. The little girl was a human with a mortal body. If she was tortured to death by lightning, where would Su Cheng find a girl to refine pills? When the power of lightning entered Dong Xi¡¯s body, she instantly felt numb. She quickly reacted and guided the power of lightning to temper her bones and muscles. However, before she could even temper his arm, the power of lightning was already gone. This feeling was as if he had scratched half of an itch, but it still did not relieve the itch. ¡°Continue,¡± Dong Xi said while biting her lip. Su Cheng was holding Dong Xi¡¯s wrist. He was very clear about the situation. This girl¡¯s body was much better than Su Cheng had imagined. What mortal body? Su Cheng had really misjudged her. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll do as you wish,¡± Su Cheng said in a low voice. What followed was two times more thunder and lightning than before. Dong Xi did not bother to talk to the Big Snake at this time. She immediately concealed her spiritual Qi, calming herself to resist the thunder and lightning in his body. After absorbing the power of the lightning with great difficulty, Dong Xi could smell the smell of burnt skin and flesh. Dong Xi frowned in disgust and cast a cleaning spell, and the smell dissipated. Dong Xi made a hand seal, and the pill furnace started burning. The power of lightning was felt good, but it had to be said that it was especially useful in awakening cell activity. Now, Dong Xi felt extremely energetic and full of energy. ¡°Continue,¡± said Dong Xi excitedly. Su Cheng also wanted to know how much the little girl could withstand. It was rare for a human girl to cultivate her body like this. Dong Xi persevered until nighttime. Only when the sky darkened did Dong Xi stop her body cultivation. ¡°Let¡¯s stop, it¡¯s enough for today,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng was shocked at first, but now he was numb. Seeing Dong Xi finally stop, he let out a sigh of relief. Dong Xi stood up and pushed open the window. The moon was hanging in the sky. ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°The moon hase out. I¡¯m going to cultivate well. We¡¯ll continue tomorrow.¡± Su Cheng was speechless. It was one thing for this girl to grind her fellow disciples, but she also wanted to grind the Big Snake to death? In the past, Su Cheng thought that he was already very diligent. In his long life as a snake, it was because Su Cheng was more diligent than other demonic beasts and had good talent that he could have such cultivation at such a young age. Seeing that Dong Xi had entered a state of cultivation, Su Cheng fell into a deep sleep once more. When the sun rose the next day, Dong Xi once again awakened Su Cheng, and he continued to be a tool. Su Cheng did not know why his temper was so good. If someone had been like this before, Su Cheng would have eaten them. Could it be¡­ because he had a request? Dong Xi trained like this until the afternoon and let Su Cheng go. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to train anymore, but he heard Daoist Yi Gua say, ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± Chapter 264 - 264 How Did It End up like This? 264 How Did It End up like This? Dong Xi spat out a mouthful of foul air. At this moment, even her breathing contained the power of lightning. Dong Xi was even thinking that as time passed, her resistance to lightning would definitely increase. When it came to transcending the Tribtion, it would be much easier. Perhaps she could really rely on the Lightning Tribtion to temper her body. Dong Xi stood up. Su Cheng was still lying on the coffee table. Dong Xi said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Su Cheng did not say anything and directly turned into a snake mark again. Dong Xi once again cast a cleaning spell and extinguished the sparks in the incense burner. When Dong Xi came out to talk to you, Eldest Senior Brother also came out. !! When Liang Yan saw Dong Xi, he was stunned. Before he could say anything, Second Senior Brother also walked out. Song Qingfeng was not as tactful as Liang Yan. He smiled and said, ¡°Junior Sister, what have you done?¡± Dong Xi was still a little confused, not knowing what he meant. Song Qingfeng did not say anything. He cast a spell on Dong Xi¡¯s headband, and Dong Xi¡¯s hair fell down. When Dong Xi saw her burnt hair and was stunned. There were side effects to refining the body with lightning? Liang Yan looked at Dong Xi¡¯s hair and could not help but say, ¡°How did it end up like this?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been suffering from serious hair loss recently,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°This hairstyle looks good.¡± Song Qingfeng was speechless. Even a ghost would not believe you! Liang Yan took it seriously. He said, ¡°There¡¯s an ointment in the world of cultivators called the hair-growing ointment. After using it, there are only three courses of treatment. Even monks will grow hair.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. She said, ¡°Is it really that good? Does hair grow fast?¡± There was finally hope for Dong Xi, and she had a bold idea. ¡°Not very fast,¡± Liang Yan replied honestly. ¡°It might take a month for it to reach your current length.¡± Dong Xi smiled with satisfaction. That was so fast! Song Qingfeng looked at Liang Yan with a faint smile. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, how did you know? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve also used it?¡± Liang Yan red at him, but Song Qingfeng was not afraid at all. Only then did Dong Xi feel that something was wrong. Dong Xi gave Liang Yan a greedy look and said, ¡°Two Senior Brothers, who has this medicinal paste? Why don¡¯t you try lending it to Junior Sister?¡± Second Senior Brother raised his hand and threw a porcin bottle to Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s expression changed as she looked at Second Senior Brother. ¡°I sell them for money,¡± Song Qingfeng immediately said. Liang Yan and Dong Xi looked at each other with disbelief. Song Qingfeng was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would not have given it to them. Dong Xi naturally would not shave her hair here, and once again tied her hair with a hairband. As they talked, almost all the people had gotten off the airboat. The three of them did not dare to dy any longer. They quickly jumped down and walked into the crowd. There were other airboats beside them. Some were in the shape of a ck turtle, while others were in the shape of a m. No matter which one it was, none of them were as imposing as Dong Xi and the others. Dong Xi could even reasonably guess that the reason why the Sect Master let Daoist Yi Gua drive this airboat was to show off. Such an impressive airboat would be an extremely dazzling existence wherever it was ced. Daoist Yi Gua was talking to Master Kong Se of the Thunder Sound Temple in front of them, trying to figure out how to settle these people. If one sect had 300 people, seven sects would have 2,100 people. Buddhist cultivators were originally very unpopr. If not for their strength, they could not be one of the eight major sects just by relying on their numbers. The two monks of Kong Se Sect brought Daoist Yi Gua to his residence. The moment he entered the Buddhist sect, the smell of incense was very strong, and Dong Xi felt that her mind was much clearer. Dong Xi¡¯s wrist was suddenly a little hot, but the sensation went away very quickly. Dong Xi remembered that Su Cheng was a Demon Lord and was very worried that Su Cheng would not be able to hide in front of Buddha. When they reached the room, Dong Xi said in a low voice, ¡°Big Snake, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. After that, Su Cheng did not say anything else. Dong Xi did not know if the Big Snake was putting on a brave front. However, at this moment, Dong Xi could not help the Big Snake at all. The Big Snake would not listen to Dong Xi either. If something really happened, it could only be¡­ The Big Snake deserved it! After Dong Xi checked the room and confirmed that there was no array or anything, she was relieved. It was time to contact her friends. Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to Senior Brother Kong Xing. [Senior Brother, are you there? I¡¯ve arrived at Thunder Sound Temple!] Kong Xing was very bored, so he immediately replied when he saw the message. [Where are you?] Dong Xi confirmed the location again and immediately sent a message. [The room next to the Northern Sound Pce.] After getting the location, Kong Xing replied once more. [Alright, the journey from the Ningtian Sect to where you are is long. Junior Sister, have a good rest today. We¡¯ll meet tomorrow.] Dong Xi frowned. This did not seem right. Was that it? He did not seem like the hospitable Senior Brother Kong Xing at all! Chapter 265 - 265 Confinement 265 Confinement Dong Xi discovered the problem and sent a message to test the waters. [Senior Brother, you don¡¯t seem right. Did something happen?] Kong Xing immediately sent a voice message, saying, ¡°Junior Sister, you know me well. Master locked me up and I can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Dong Xi also sent a voice message. Dong Xi said, ¡°I also brought a formation disk. I wanted to use this opportunity to ask for advice from Senior Brother, but it seems impossible now.¡± Kong Xing immediately sent a voice message. Kong Xing said, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± Dong Xi lowered her head andughed. She really had a formation disk, and it was a gift from Daoist Hong Yuan of the Array Sect. There was no harm in letting Senior Brother Kong Xing take a look at it. With Senior Brother Kong Xing¡¯sprehension ability, if he were to understand this formation, Dong Xi would have an endless supply of formation disks in the future. Kong Xing was indeed very fast. In less than 15 minutes, Dong Xi¡¯smunication jade slip flickered again. ¡°Which room, Junior Sister?¡± Kong Xing asked. Dong Xi made a hand seal to remove the restriction. Then, she walked out and saw Kong Xing in the courtyard. ¡°It¡¯s here, Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi happily said. Kong Xing ran over and immediately closed the door after entering. Judging from how careful he was, he must have sneaked out. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of slyness. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, aren¡¯t you still in confinement? Why are you out?¡± Kong Xing rubbed his bald head and helplessly said, ¡°I climbed over the wall.¡± However, that was not the case. Master Kong Xing had set up an array that allowed him to escape. This method was not good, so Kong Xing could not tell him. Afraid that Dong Xi would ask more, Kong Xing immediately said, ¡°Junior Sister, where is the formation disk? Quickly let me see.¡± In the Immortal cultivation world, there were no men and women who were not allowed to touch each other. A night of pleasure was not a big deal. There were even some people who specialized in dual cultivation, such as Hehuan Sect. They could also achieve the Great Dao in the end, but they had to deal with their Mental Demons. The two of them discussed the formation disk in the room. It really was not anything serious. Dong Xi took out the formation disk from her storage ring. Kong Xing took it and looked at the profound patterns on it. His eyes instantly lit up. Kong Xing said, ¡°This array disc is level 7? And not just one? Junior Sister, where did you get such a good thing?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a reward from the sect¡¯s Martial Uncle,¡± said Dong Xi. Kong Xing held the array disk and said with envy. ¡°Your Uncle-Master is so good. He dotes on you so much. All my Master does is practice is Iron Head Technique on me¡­¡± Kong Xing¡¯s words were filled with deep resentment, but Dong Xi said happily, ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t like it? I¡¯ll help you practice?¡± At this moment, Kong Xing was trying his best to memorize what was written on the formation disk and could not react in time. ¡°Huh? What?¡± Kong Xing looked at Dong Xi in confusion. Dong Xi was indeed very excited, as if she had discovered something incredible. Dong Xi said again, ¡°If Senior Brother doesn¡¯t like the Iron Head Technique, should I practice it for you? After I learn it, I¡¯ll protect you!¡± Kong Xing was speechless. Kong Xing sized up Dong Xi, and finally looked at Dong Xi¡¯s bun-like hair. Even though it was tied up with a hair band, it was still a little curly. Kong Xing said, ¡°Umm¡­ Junior Sister, you¡¯re a girl, learning the Iron Head Technique, isn¡¯t it a bit¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s good for a little girl like me to learn it!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s thinking was very simple. She would train her body to protect her heart so that no one would be able to pierce through it. If she learned this Iron Head Technique now, her head would not blow up in the future. When Dong Xi was forged into an iron wall, she would not be afraid of anything! Forget magical treasures and tools, she herself would be a tool. Her survival index was also rising. If he continued to work hard, she would be able to survive anything! Seeing Kong Xing¡¯s hesitation, Dong Xi said seriously, ¡°Senior Brother, can I learn it?¡± ¡°You can learn it,¡± said Kong Xing. ¡°Where can I learn it?¡± Dong Xi asked with a smile. ¡°Will you teach me, Senior Brother?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any skills,¡± Kong Xing shook his head. ¡°If you want to learn, you¡¯ll have to go to Martial-Uncle Wang Chi.¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°Okay. Hehe, where is Martial-Uncle Wang Chi? Is he busy? I¡¯ll go now, okay?¡± Kong Xing continued, ¡°Our Thunder sSound Temple epts outsiders to practice Buddhism. Martial-Uncle Wang Chi goes to the Practice Hall every two days during his morning practice to impart his skills. You can go tomorrow morning if you don¡¯t have to participate in thepetition.¡± Dong Xi made a mental note and bowed respectfully. She said, ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!¡± Chapter 266 - 266 Do You Understand Now? 266 Do You Understand Now? Kong Xing casually replied and then ignored Dong Xi. Kong Xing hugged the formation disk and read it seriously, his brows frowning and rxing at times. Dong Xi, who was at the side, also felt emotionally unstable. ¡°Senior Brother, do you understand now?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°I¡¯m going to memorize these patterns and then go to the Scripture Depository,¡± Kong Xing shook his head. After saying that, Kong Xing knocked his head in frustration. He said, ¡°This is so hard to memorize!¡± !! Dong Xi was also very helpless. When would these people in the Immortal cultivation world learn that no matter how good their memory was, it could not bepared to a piece of paper. Dong Xi took out a piece of paper and a pen, ced them next to Kong Xing, and then sat down, no longer speaking. Kong Xing looked at the pen and paper, then at Dong Xi, and the two of them looked at each other. Kong Xing suddenlyughed. ¡°See, I¡¯m so stupid. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to write them down? Isn¡¯t that better than using my brain?¡± Dong Xi looked at Kong Xing in disgust as she pushed away the pen and paper. She then took out a jade slip and copied down the formation disk. Dong Xi was speechless. This probably meant that some people were already in the civilized era, while some people were still in the Stone Age. After she finished copying, she kept the jade slip and said, ¡°Thank you, Junior Sister. I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± What? He¡¯s leaving? Kong Xing was a little embarrassed as well. He said, ¡°I snuck out. If I¡¯m discovered by Master, I¡¯ll be locked up for a few more days. I¡¯ll be released tomorrow morning. I¡¯lle over and take Junior Sister to find Uncle-Master Wang Chi.¡± Dong Xi sighed. No matter what, she had to wait, so she nodded in agreement. As night fell, Dong Xi opened the window and looked outside. Thunder Sound Temple¡¯s meditation room was different from the sect¡¯s. There was no skylight in the room, so Dong Xi could not guarantee that she would be covered in moonlight for the whole night. Now that the Big Snake was by her side, Dong Xi knew that her cultivation would not cause a spiritual energy disturbance, so she was not as careful as before. Dong Xi took the futon in the room, walked to the courtyard, sat down, and began to cultivate. The greatpetition was about to begin, and the various sects were also paying attention to each other. Dong Xi¡¯s actions were noticed by many people. Although they were curious, no one asked. When the sky was slightly bright, Kong Xing came over and woke up Dong Xi, who was cultivating. Kong Xing said, ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree yesterday that we¡¯re going to see Martial-Uncle Wang Chi today? Hurry up.¡± Dong Xi looked at the moon that had notpletely disappeared in the sky and was a little surprised. ¡°You¡¯re going there so early?¡± Dong Xi asked. Kong Xing said, ¡°It¡¯s not early anymore. Look at what time it is. Martial-Uncle Wang Chi¡¯s morning ss is about to start. Anyter and we¡¯ll bete.¡± Dong Xi did not dawdle and kept the futon, following behind Kong Xing. On the way, Dong Xi asked, ¡°Senior Brother Kong Xing, isn¡¯t today the great tournament?¡± Wouldn¡¯t it be bad if we don¡¯t go?¡± However, Kong Xing did not panic at all. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, our host is especially good at talking. With the host around, thepetition might start at noon. The host has never disappointed anyone.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, he remembered the high school principal in her previous life. Every time at the end of a big sportspetition, he would also give a lecture for a few hours, from grades to learning methods, then various ssic cases in China, and finally, life¡­¡± Dong Xi could not help but sigh. If the headmaster was also in this world, who would be better at lecturing, him or the host of Thunder Sound Temple? The two of them rushed to the ce. This ce was different from what Dong Xi had imagined. It was not overcrowded, and there were only three disciples in total. Now, there were only five people, including Dong Xi and Kong Xing. Dong Xi looked at Kong Xing in surprise. Kong Xing secretly transmitted his voice, ¡°Martial-Uncle Wang Chi is very strict. Many disciples came once and never came again.¡± If Kong Xing was not forced toe by his master, he would have run away long ago. Martial-Uncle Wang Chi did not force anyone. Wang Chi would teach whoever came, and it was fine if they did note. However, today, Wang Chi¡¯s gaze turned to Dong Xi. It was not for any reason, but because this was the first time in his life that he was teaching a little girl. If Wang Chi remembered correctly, this was the Iron Head Technique ss, right? Why was a little girl here? Could it be that she was pranked toe here? Even if she was pranked, it did not matter. She probably would note tomorrow. Recently, the host had also told the Wang Chi that the eight great sects would hold apetition here. Which sect did this girl belong to? The rest of the people sneaked a nce at Dong Xi. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Dong Xi sat behind with Kong Xing. Wang Chi did not ask anything and directly talked about the essentials of cultivating the Iron Head Technique. Then, he let the disciples cultivate on their own. Among the five of them, only Dong Xi was here for the first time. She looked curiously at the others who were practicing Qi while hitting their heads with wooden boards. Chapter 267 - 267 Can’t Bear to Do It 267 Can¡¯t Bear to Do It These wooden boards were not ordinary wooden boards. They were all Steel Wood, unique to the Immortal cultivation world. Dong Xi held the Steel Wood and pondered for a long time, but she could not do it. After all, this was Steel Wood¡­ Wouldn¡¯t her head be muddled if she knocked on it? Dong Xi wondered if Wang Chi had described the cultivation technique correctly. !! Dong Xi frowned and raised her head to meet Master Wang Chi¡¯s eyes. Master Wang Chi stood in front of Dong Xi and watched her next move. Dong Xi closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and smashed her head with the Steel Wood. However, the wood hit her head. Dong Xi was stunned. She raised her head and found that Master Wang Chi had stopped the wood from knocking on her head and was looking at Dong Xi. Dong Xi shouted in a low voice, ¡°Master Wang Chi.¡± ¡°The method is wrong,¡± Master Wang Chi said. ¡°You¡¯ll hurt yourself by doing this.¡± Dong Xi immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. Dong Xi said, ¡°Please guide me, Master Wang Chi.¡± Master Wang Chi did not answer directly, but started to talk about Buddhism with Dong Xi. Master Wang Chi said, ¡°As is taught by the Buddha, the Golden Body can change. There¡¯s nothing it can¡¯t do¡­ Divine salvation for all living beings ¡­ Dong Xi looked at Master Wang Chi in confusion. Master Wang Chi saw Dong Xi¡¯s puzzled expression and thought for a moment. He then said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re still young, so it¡¯s normal that you can¡¯t understand. The Iron Head Technique that we Buddhists practice looks like a cultivation technique, but if we want to cultivate it to a profound level, Buddhism is the foundation¡­¡± Dong Xi nodded, as if she had understood some of it. ¡°Have you ever read the scriptures?¡± Master Wang Chi continued. Dong Xi thought for a moment before nodding. ¡°Fa Hua Sutra.¡± ¡°Very good,¡± Master Wang Chi said with satisfaction. Dong Xi did not know what this ¡®very good¡¯ meant. Was it the Buddhist Scripture that was very good, or was Dong Xi very good? Master Wang Chi did not exin anything. He said, ¡°There was also a problem with the cirction of your cultivation technique just now. Your spiritual energy is protecting your head, so even if you break the Steel Wood, it¡¯s still spiritual energy and has nothing to do with your head.¡± Dong Xi looked at the Steel Wood in her hand, thinking about Master Wang Chi¡¯s words, and fell into deep thought. ¡®Fa Hua Sutra¡¯ advocated that all living beings had the nature of Buddha, and Buddha cut his meat to feed the wolves to save all living beings. Buddhist cultivators also often said: Take a step back, and the sea and sky will be clear. In order to cultivate this technique, she might need to retreat in order to advance. Therefore, she should not protect her head but find a way to remove the force that her head was bearing. After thinking through all this, Dong Xi had some experience. The body refining technique she cultivated had a method to dissipate force. With this thought, she instantly understood it¡­ Dong Xi picked up the Steel Wood again, dispersed the spiritual Qi on her head, and knocked it lightly. She remembered this feeling. It was very painful, and her head was still buzzing. She waited for the vibration to disappear. If the board had hit cotton, it would not have had such a powerful impact¡­ Master Wang Chi stood at the side and watched Dong Xi try it bit by bit. She even knew to switch sides when it hurt on one side. Dong Xi only used her spiritual Qi to wrap around her brain to protect it. The Iron Head Technique also began to circte. After that, when she started to knock her head against the Steel Wood board again, it did not hurt as much as it did at the beginning. Dong Xi¡¯s furrowed brows also rxed. Master Wang Chi nodded in satisfaction and walked to the side of another disciple. This girl¡¯sprehension was very good, but it was uncertain if she woulde again in the future, so he did not need to pay too much attention to her. Master Wang Chi had seen many talented disciples over the years, but these people were just ying around. They came for a day and never came again. As time passed, Master Wang Chi no longer cared. Master Wang Chi had taught them the cultivation technique, but it was none of his business whether they had learned it or not. The Immortal cultivation and the Buddhist cultivation were the same. The ultimate goal was to Ascend. However, how many people in this world could Ascend? Most people were just ordinary people. One morning, the five disciples practiced together for more than four hours. In other words, it had been more than five hours, from four in the morning to past nine. Dong Xi, who even Master Wang Chi did not think highly of at the beginning, persevered from the beginning to the end. Moreover, looking at Dong Xi¡¯s appearance, she did not seem to be very tired. Master Wang Chi was a little surprised, but thinking that Dong Xi might note in the future, he did not take it to heart. After saying a few words, he turned and left. After Master Wang Chi left, the remaining four people copsed on the ground. Dong Xi was still standing, and Kong Xing looked at Dong Xi in disbelief. Kong Xing said, ¡°Junior Sister, aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Dong Xi nced at Kong Xing with aplicated look in her eyes. She did not say anything for a long time. When Kong Xing saw Dong Xi like this, he thought that Dong Xi would say something like ¡®we must all study and work hard¡¯. In the end, Dong Xi¡¯s expression changed, and she said with a serious look, ¡°I¡¯m just pretending.¡± Kong Xing immediately rolled his eyes at Dong Xi and copsed to the ground again. Chapter 268 - 268 A Solid Foundation 268 A Solid Foundation Kong Xingy on the ground. ¡°What¡¯s there to pretend about? I¡¯m tired. You cultivators can be more honest.¡± Dong Xi did not say anything. She was really tired. She just wanted to empty his mind and couldn¡¯t even be bothered to think. Dong Xi was also very tired when she practiced swordsmanship, but she would notst more than five hours. No wonder everyone said that the foundation of Buddhism was solid. With such intensity, how could it not be solid? Dong Xi meditated for half an hour to recover her spirit, but she did not know that her sect¡¯s Senior Brothers were looking for her everywhere. Song Qingfeng looked at Liang Yan. Song Qingfeng said worriedly, ¡°Did you find Junior Sister?¡± Liang Yan shook his head. ¡°No. I haven¡¯t seen her this morning. There¡¯s no reply to mymunication jade slip either.¡± Song Qingfeng was a little angry. ¡°This girl, where did she go? Could something have happened? When we find her, I must tie her up with a rope.¡± Liang Yan was speechless. Liang Yan felt helpless. He looked at the angry Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. The whole cultivation world knows about the conflict between us and the Green Cloud Sect. They wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything in the Thunder Sound Temple.¡± As the two of them were talking, Xiong Ye quickly ran over and said, ¡°Two Senior Brothers, we¡¯ve found Junior Sister Dong Xi. I heard from someone that she left with a monk.¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s face turned even uglier and he said, ¡°What? A monk? Little Junior Sister has quite a wide circle of friends! There¡¯s actually an acquaintance in Thunder sound Temple?¡± Liang Yan nodded his head. It was fine if his Junior Sister was older, but how old was Dong Xi this year? Song Qingfeng looked at Xiong Ye again, and he said, ¡°Do you know where she went?¡± ¡°I heard it¡¯s a Practice Hall,¡± answered Xiong Ye immediately. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Liang Yan asked, puzzled. ¡°Yeah,¡± Xiong Ye said. ¡°I¡¯ve asked someone about it. The Practice Hall is where Master Wang Chi is teaching his techniques today. He¡¯s teaching the Iron Head Technique.¡± ¡°What?¡± Song Qingfeng was puzzled. Iron head technique? What is this girl trying to do? Song Qingfeng thought that he was smart enough to guess what most people were thinking, but he really could not figure out this Junior Sister. She was just a little girl. First, her hair was in that state. Now, she was going to learn some Iron Head Technique? Why is this girl learning all of these nonsense¡­ After that, the others would chat with Song Qingfeng and ask him what his Junior Sister had learned. Was he supposed to tell them that his Junior Sister practiced the Iron Head Technique? How could he say that? Not only did Song Qingfeng think so, but Liang Yan and Xiong Ye¡¯s faces also turned pale. Liang Yan even thought that perhaps there was a misunderstanding between his Junior Sister¡¯s gender because there were no female cultivators on their mountain peak. Liang Yan even told Song Qingfeng what he was thinking about. Song Qingfeng also felt that it made sense after hearing it. Perhaps this was the problem that had been troubling him for a long time. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother,¡± Song Qingfeng said, ¡°you¡¯re thinking the same thing. I think not only Little Junior Sister, but it also applies to Chi Yan.¡± Then, Song Qingfeng looked at Xiong Ye and wanted to say something, but in the end, he sighed. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°It¡¯s useless to count on you. The Sword Sect is not that good¡­¡± There were not many female cultivators in the Sword Sect, but even one of them looked more like a man than a male cultivator. By the way, Song Qingfeng had almost forgotten that his little Junior Sister Dong Xi was also a swordsman. ¡°This can¡¯t go on,¡± Liang Yan frowned, ¡°we need to think of something.¡± Song Qingfeng also said with a worried face, ¡°What can we do? Hold on, I have an idea.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Liang Yan asked immediately. Xiong Ye also looked at Song Qingfeng with curiosity. ¡°Master!¡± Song Qingfeng said seriously, ¡°First, we have to introduce a mistress to Master!¡± Liang Yan, ¡°¡­¡± Xiong Ye, ¡°¡­¡± Senior Brother Song Qingfeng was indeed different from the others. No one else could have thought of this method, and Xiong Ye could only admire him. Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°Junior Brother¡­ You want to introduce a Dao Pa to Master?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Song Qingfeng said seriously. ¡°I have an aunt who¡¯s over 600 years old. She doesn¡¯t have a cultivation partner yet. I¡¯ll send a message to askter.¡± Liang Yan was silent. Shouldn¡¯t he ask Master first? Or could it be that Master¡¯s marriage was arranged by his own disciples? Song Qingfeng took out hismunication jade slip and sent a message to his aunt. Liang Yan could not help but say, ¡°Junior Brother, should we first ask Master?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Song Qingfeng said casually. ¡°We¡¯ll have to ask sooner orter anyway. I¡¯ll see what my aunt thinks first.¡± The Song Family¡¯s people all had bad tempers. Maybe when his aunt saw the news, she would fly into a rage ande all the way here to teach Song Qingfeng a lesson. Chapter 269 - 269 Opportunity 269 Opportunity At that time, he could make his aunt stay and arrange for her to meet with his Master. That would give him a chance. Just as they were talking, Dong Xi, who had disappeared the entire morning, appeared again. Liang Yan received a reply from Dong Xi, who asked where he was and whether thepetition had started. Then, Song Qingfeng also received Dong Xi¡¯s reply, and the two sent their location to Dong Xi. Dong Xi rushed back with Kong Xing, and on the way, theypeted in movement techniques. Dong Xi did not use Ground Bending. Instead, she used the movement technique he had learned from the sect¡¯s Founding Master. The Founding Master¡¯s movement technique had an unexpected effect when facing an enemy, but when used to hurry on the road, it really could notpare to Ground Bending. The two of them arrived at the ce one after the other. Dong Xi excitedly shared the Iron Head Technique he had just learned with her Senior Brothers, but when she saw the expressions on her Senior Brothers¡¯ faces, Dong Xi immediately shut her mouth. Dong Xi secretly gave Xiong Ye a look, wanting to ask what had happened. After Xiong Ye saw this, he could only shrug his shoulders, indicating that he was unable to help. Dong Xi could only ept it. Sighing in her heart, she cupped her fists and said, ¡°Senior Brothers, I know I was wrong.¡± Kong Xing looked at her in confusion, while Song Qingfeng said, ¡°What did you do wrong?¡± ¡°My mistake was¡­¡± Dong Xi said. After thinking for a long time, she still did not know what to say. What did Dong Xi do wrong? Was it wrong to be too diligent? Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°My mistake was to learn the Iron Head Technique? But learning one more skill will help save my own life, is this wrong?¡± Song Qingfeng snorted and said, ¡°You were wrong to reply to Eldest Senior Brother first! You didn¡¯t reply me first!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Liang Yan, ¡°?¡± Xiong Ye and Kong Xing were both speechless. Xiong Ye even wanted tough. Senior Brother Song Qingfeng was so worried at first, but he could not say anything in front of Junior Sister Dong Xi. These Senior Brothers were so interesting. Liang Yan was helpless. He was the Eldest Senior Brother. There was nothing wrong with Dong Xix replying to Liang Yan¡¯s message, so why would Song Qingfeng be jealous? ¡°Next time, I¡¯ll definitely reply to your message first,¡± Dong Xi said. Liang Yan was instantly displeased. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi was also helpless. The two of them added together were over four hundred years old. Why were they still fighting for a woman? In the end, the cultivation world was inconvenient. Although themunication jade slip could be used as a mobile phone, it was far inferior to the smartphones in his previous life. ¡°If only we had a group chat¡­¡± Dong Xi said in a low voice. Although it was soft, everyone heard it. Everyone just listened, and only Kong Xing remembered it. Xiong Ye¡¯s Senior Brother in the Sword Sect sent him a message. After reading it, Xiong Ye said, ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly, thepetition is about to start.¡± Kong Xing was stunned and said in disbelief, ¡°This early?¡± Xiong Ye was very surprised. He looked at the sky and said, ¡°It¡¯s not early, is it?¡± It was almost noon. Usually, the sword grandmasters would be lining up to take a bath. ¡°Could it be that our Thunder Sound Temple¡¯s host didn¡¯t go up to speak?¡± Kong Xing asked again. Xiong Ye seemed to have thought of something and secretlyughed. He whispered, ¡°I heard from others that your host seemed to have been silenced by someone.¡± Kong Xing was speechless. Wt with the host¡¯s cultivation, he should be able to easily remove the silence spell. It seemed that the host knew that the crowd did not want to listen to the old man¡¯s nagging, so he just took advantage of the situation. Everyone arrived at the scene. As soon as Dong Xi arrived, a kitten jumped into Dong Xi¡¯s arms. Dong Xi also liked kittens very much. When she was in the welfare Institute, she could not raise cats, so Dong Xi would asionally feed stray cats. Dong Xi instinctively hugged the kitten. The kitten was very cute. There was a little purple in its ck eyes. But why were there cats here? Who might have raised it? Dong Xi looked around with the kitten in his arms, but she did not see anyone looking for the cat. Dong Xi looked at her two Senior Brothers. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior, senior, I found a cat.¡± Liang Yan took a look and said, ¡°This is from Beast Trainer Sect.¡± Dong Xi sighed softly. She was somewhat disappointed, but it did not matter. Dong Xi knew in her heart that it was impossible for a cat without an owner to suddenly appear here. ¡°There are special marks on the animals of Beast Trainer Sect,¡± Liang Yan continued. ¡°Look at the cat¡¯s neck.¡± Dong Xi lowered her head to take a look. Indeed, there was a mark, the mark of a rose. Dong Xi petted the cat for a long time before taking out a fish that he had caught previously from her storage ring and feeding it to the cat. The kitten did not hesitate and left Dong Xi¡¯s arms with the fish in its mouth. It then entered the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye. ... Chapter 270 - 270 A Cat and a Squirrel Together? 270 A Cat and a Squirrel Together? Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s reluctant expression and said, ¡°You like it a lot?¡± Dong Xi nodded, and Song Qingfeng said, ¡°It¡¯s not hard to get you a cat, but¡­ Are you sure a cat and a squirrel can live together?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. There was no way to confirm this. !! ¡°Forget it, forget it,¡± Dong Xi sighed. Everything had a firste, first served basis, so of course, Songsong was more important. The rules of thepetition were simr to the internal selection of the sect, but there were more people. There were 800 people in each realm, and the top 50 would be chosen. Dong Xi knew that she was naturally thest of these people, so she simplyy down. Although Dong Xi was not very powerful, her Senior Brothers were all very powerful! Dong Xi still had to cheer for her Senior Brothers. In reality, Dong Xi¡¯s rank was number 666. She was very satisfied with this number. There were a total of 32 arenas here, so thepetition would take at least a month. Dong Xi was not in the first round of thepetition, so she took out a pen and paper and started drawing in a corner. Dong Xi thought that since she had nothing to do, she might as well take this opportunity to read her Senior Brothers¡¯ fortunes and see the future trend. At this moment, Dong Xi was very rxed. There was nothing to worry about, not only because of the cultivation method, but mainly because of what Second Senior Brother had said. If Second Senior Brother entered the top 3, the sect would not be at a disadvantage in the distribution of resources. The main thing to be afraid of was that although the Senior Brothers had trump cards, some shameless sects would use the power of the entire sect to fight for the ranking. If Dong Xi had thought of this, those old foxes in the sect would naturally have thought of it as well. Perhaps the sect had also prepared a trump card for the Senior Brothers. Dong Xi was counting seriously when a figure came behind her. Dong Xi instinctively turned around and saw Kong Xing. Kong Xing said, ¡°Junior Sister, do you have any more paper and brush?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she took out some paper and gave it to Kong Xing, as well as a feather pen. Kong Xing held a pen and squatted beside Dong Xi, starting to write and draw as well. As Kong Xing wrote, he said, ¡°Junior Sister is really smart. This pen and paper are much better than those nk jade slips.¡± Dong Xi could not help but lean over and take a look at the what Kong Xing was drawing. Damn, Dong Xi could not understand it at all. Could it be that Kong Xing had also transmigrated from some new world? Dong Xi asked shamelessly, ¡°Senior Brother, What is this?¡± Kong Xing did not stop and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to chat in the group? Themunication jade slip is mainly about formations. I want to see if I can add some formations here. Perhaps I can do it. ¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Dong Xi did not quite understand, but she was also extremely shocked. Could it be that Senior Brother Kong Xing was a programmer of this world? Could he create a group chat? Dong Xi decided to ask more questions. This smart friend might be able to do it. Dong Xi coughed lightly and said, ¡°Senior Brother Kong Xing, since you can create something amazing like a group chat, could you also allow the people¡­ to see each other? Can we use a projection?¡± Kong Xing immediately frowned. The smart little monk seemed to be in a difficult position. Dong Xi said with some embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m just asking¡­ Hehe, if you can¡¯t do it¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Kong Xing said, ¡°It¡¯s not impossible, but whoever you want to meet, spiritual breath alone is not enough. You also need a divine soul.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. ¡°Then forget it,¡± said Dong Xi. The cost of it seemed too high to be worth it. Kong Xing tried his best to recall what he had learned all these years. After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°Maybe there are other ways. I¡¯ll figure it out in the future.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯ve been a great help to me by researching the group chat,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Kong Xing looked at Dong Xi¡¯s smiling face. He then looked at what Dong Xi wrote, extremely curious as to what Dong Xi was drawing. Looking over, Kong Xing was also confused. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, What is this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a divination, a rough prediction of one¡¯s luck,¡± Dong Xi said. Kong Xing immediately looked at Dong Xi in shock. He said, ¡°Junior Sister¡­ Aren¡¯t you a pill cultivator or a sword cultivator? This¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a burden to have more skills,¡± said Dong Xi seriously. Kong Xing said in surprise, ¡°Junior Sister is amazing. It¡¯s true that having more skills doesn¡¯t weigh down on you. However, divination isn¡¯t something that just anyone can cultivate. Some people can¡¯t even get started with it.¡± Dong Xi thought to herself, ¡®It¡¯s because these people have never studied basic mathematics and probability theory.¡¯ Kong Xing continued, ¡°No wonder everyone says that different professions are worlds apart. I don¡¯t understand anything that Junior Sister has drawn¡­¡± Chapter 271 - 271 They All Had Their Own Drawing 271 They All Had Their Own Drawing Even though he said that, Kong Xing didn¡¯t say that he wanted to learn, allowing Dong Xi to heave a sigh of relief. Dong Xi had been in this world for two years, and only Li Li had learned Arabic numbers. As for mathematics, Dong Xi had not taught him yet. ording to Li Li, divination was very difficult to begin with. Even though the divinators or fortune tellers had never learned mathematics and had the premise of probability theory, they could still calcte. In terms of intelligence, they were definitely among the top group of people. As long as she taught them a little, these people would make rapid progress in mathematics. By then, even Dong Xi might lose to them. Dong Xi had also made an agreement with Li Li that she would teach him mathematics after he had a breakthrough. !! The two of them squatted in a corner and drew their own drawings. Dong Xi¡¯s calction was faster, and the result was simr to her previous guess. ording to her calctions, the Ningtian Sect had a great advantage. Dong Xi put away the pen and paper in satisfaction, then looked at Kong Xing at the side. Kong Xing drew a beautiful pattern, and there were even symbols within the pattern. Dong Xi could not understand this at all. Seeing how serious Kong Xing was, Dong Xi did not want to disturb him, so she wrote him a note and left. It was rare for her toe out to broaden her horizons. Dong Xi also wanted to see how other cultivators fought. If he did not learn these real-lifebat techniques now, when would he learn them? Although Dong Xi was only at the Qi Refinement stage, the token in her hand could only allow her to watch the battles of Qi Refinement cultivators. After the top 50 were selected, thepetition of the other two stages would be open to everyone. Dong Xi stood in front of the projection screen, looking at the battle information of the Qi Refinement arena. Dong Xi found a familiar face, it was Senior Sister Gu Yao, who had defeated her previosuly. The one who fought Senior Sister Gu Yao was a disciple of Beast Trainer Sect. Dong Xi instantly thought of that little cat and made a decision. That¡¯s right, let¡¯s go and watch this match. What else is more attractive than this beautiful Senior Sister? In the 18th arena, Dong Xi squeezed through the crowd and found that there were a lot of people. Thinking about it, not only was Senior Sister Gu Yao beautiful, but she was also so powerful. She should be admired by many people. Just by standing there, she was already very pleasing to the eye. Some people were born to stand in the spotlight. Although there was no spotlight in the cultivation world, Senior Sister Gu Yao could still attract everyone¡¯s attention. The disciple fighting with Senior Sister Gu Yao was also at the 11th level of the Qi Refinement stage. He looked like a middle-aged man, and his contracted beast was a Lightning Tiger. Dong Xi immediately frowned. Thispetition was extremely disadvantageous. Everyone knew that metals could conduct electricity, and the other party was a Lightning Tiger. Wouldn¡¯t that be a perfect counter? If Dong Xi could think of it, so could everyone else. Everyone looked at the beauty on the stage. They all had worried looks on their faces, as if they were the ones who would be defeated. Everyone was worried for Gu Yao. Gu Yao indeed looked calm and did not seem to be worried at all. After that, Gu Yao took out the wooden sword that she used to practice in her sect. Everyone knew that wood would not conduct electricity. However, a wooden sword was just an ordinary wooden sword. To sword practitioners, a treasured sword was very important, just like the beasts of the Beast Trainer Sect. Gu Yao was originally fighting two Beast Trainer Sect disciples at once, but now she had broken one of her arms. Everyone was sure that Senior Sister Gu Yao would lose this time. Dong Xi even wanted to lend her sword to her Senior Sister. Although she did not know what material her sword was made of, she was sure it was not made of metal. Unfortunately, thepetition had already begun, and the ring had a protective shield. Unless the two of them decided who would win or one of them gave up, the protective shield would not be opened. Gu Yao held her wooden sword and looked at the disciple of Beast Trainer Sect. She said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me.¡± The disciple of Beast Trainer Sect was called Chen Wei. Seeing Gu Yao take out her wooden sword, Chen Wei was sure that he would win thispetition. Chen Wei¡¯s expression looked much better. Chen Wei smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Fairy. I won¡¯t ruthlessly destroy a flower.¡± As he spoke, Chen Wei patted the Lightning Tiger¡¯s head. Chen Wei continued, ¡°This guy won¡¯t either.¡± Gu Yao knew that he underestimated her, and she was very unhappy. However, her expression was still calm. The sharp tongue was useless. Only the winner could give a victory speech. Chen Wei and the Lightning Tiger moved at the same time. Chen Wei knew that this was the first match and many of his trump cards could not be revealed. Gu Yao looked as the tiger rushed at her. She knew that she had to take it out first before dealing with the disciple from the Beast Trainer Sect. Compared to the Lightning Tiger, which had strong resistance, it was clear that it would be easier to attack Chen Wei. Gu Yao¡¯s wooden sword flickered and she used her movement technique to attack Chen Wei. Chen Wei knew very well that he could not allow the swordsman to get close to him. He immediately retreated andmanded the Lightning Tiger to block the sword strikes. Chapter 272 - 272 You Know It In Your Heart 272 You Know It In Your Heart A lightning bolt struck in front of Gu Yao. Gu Yao¡¯s body paused for a second before she retreated rapidly. Even though Gu Yao had a high ponytail and was dressed in neat clothes like Dong Xi, she still looked like a fairy when she did this. Gu Yao tapped on the ground and charged at Chen Wei again. Gu Yao also knew that the disciples of Beast Trainer Sect were not as strong as she was. !! After all, the disciples of Beast Trainer Sect all relied on the power of demonic beasts. It was notparable to the power that sword cultivators cultivated themselves. The Lightning Tiger saw that its master was about to be injured and immediately pounced toward Gu Yao. Gu Yao and the Lightning Tiger started to fight. Chen Wei was at the side, throwing out some talismans at any time. Gu Yao fell into a passive position. She could not let this drag on. If this continued, her spiritual energy would be depleted. Although Dong Xi had given her the Spirit Restore Pill, she could not start taking the pill in the first round, right? The girl and the tiger fought back and forth on the stage, making everyone extremely nervous. Gu Yao turned her wrist and used her sword technique again. She pretended to attack the tiger but used the first move of her sword technique to block it for a moment. Then, she turned around and attacked Chen Wei. The Lightning Tiger knew that he could not make it in time, so it could only cast lightning at Gu Yao again. Gu Yao did not have any intention of stopping. Even if she was injured, she had to defeat Chen Wei. Without the lightning Tiger, Chen Wei was like a sitting duck. He could only look at the protective shield on Gu Yao¡¯s body. Gu Yao waved her sword with a determined look in her eyes. Chen Wei took out his Dharma artifact and nned to fight back, but Gu Yao easily broke through it. When the tiger rushed back, Gu Yao¡¯s sword was already on Chen Wei¡¯s chest. Blood was flowing out of Gu Yao¡¯s wrist and dripping to the ground. When the crowd below the stage saw this scene, they all cheered. Some of these people were not disciples of the Ningtian Sect, but most of them were sword cultivators. The protective shield on the ring opened and a monk walked up, announcing Gu Yao¡¯s victory. He then read out the next person who would be fighting in the ring. Gu Yao put away her wooden sword and cupped her fists, ¡°Thanks for letting me win.¡± Then, Gu Yao jumped off the ring. Dong Xi immediately went up to her. Seeing Gu Yao injured, Dong Xi was very distressed. ¡°Hurry up and eat this, Senior Sister,¡± said Dong Xi as he took out a bottle of pills. Gu Yao looked at the porcin bottle in her hand and felt warm in her heart. Gu Yao smiled. ¡°There are free healing cultivators in thispetition. Let¡¯s go find them for healing. Don¡¯t waste the pills.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Senior Sister¡¯s cold temperament disappeared, and she instantly became the big sister next door, bing really likable. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go with you, Senior Sister,¡± said Dong Xi. Gu Yao returned the pill to Dong Xi and Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, keep it. There are still manypetitionster, and it might be useful.¡± The two of them talked as they walked toward the healing point. The rankings had to be determined in a short time, so they naturally had to use all their strength during thepetition, so it was inevitable that there would be injuries. After a discussion, the sects decided that each sect would send someone to set up a free medical point. The people at the medical center were almost all cultivators with wood or water spirit roots. Wood spirit root cultivators had better healing abilities. Dong Xi also knew that the wood spirit root could heal injuries, but she had never learned it in detail. She could only use spiritual Qi to heal injuries, and the effect was naturally not as good as those professionals. Dong Xi apanied Gu Yao to a female cultivator and chatted with her for a while. The female cultivator then brought Gu Yao into a room. Dong Xi was waiting at the door, and there was an endless stream of people who came to treat their injuries. She instantly thought of Second Senior Brother. He could take out so many pills so easily. No wonder he said that thispetition was not a challenge to him. He had all kinds of pills. Unless his head was cut off, Second Senior Brother could not only heal his injuries but also eat a lot of Spirit Restore Pills. Even if he could not win, he could exhaust his opponent to death. Dong Xi leaned against the wall, and the Big Snake¡¯s voice appeared in her mind. The Big Snake said, ¡°Give your Senior Sister one of the Exorcism Pills you made.¡± Dong Xi was taken aback. Then, his eyes widened as if he had thought of something. The Exorcism Pill was used to clear the demonic Qi. If he¡¯s asking her to give one to Senior Sister, could it be that Senior Sister¡­ Dong Xi immediately became a little nervous, and blood quickly flowed to her head. Dong Xi said, ¡°What do you mean?¡± If Dong Xi¡¯s guess was right, then the Masked Moon Sect had said that the demonic race had invaded the sect. Everyone, even Dong Xi, felt that it was impossible. They wanted the demons to take the me. But now, Senior Sister Gu Yao was poisoned by demonic Qi? What was going on? Did the Masked Moon Sect say that to make the demons take the me, or did they really discover something? Su Cheng said ambiguously, ¡°It¡¯s exactly what you¡¯re thinking,¡± Then, Su Cheng fell into a deep sleep again. Chapter 273 - 273 Eat This Pill 273 Eat This Pill Dong Xi once again tried to call out to Su Cheng, but there was no sound at all. Dong Xi was extremely anxious outside, but Gu Yao still did note out. After a long time, the door finally opened. Dong Xi looked up and saw Senior Sister Gu Yao walking out of the house. Dong Xi immediately went up to her. She said anxiously, ¡°Senior Sister, how is it? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?¡± Gu Yao noticed that Dong Xi was very anxious, and even had a thinyer of sweat on her forehead. When Dong Xi had met earlier, she had not been like this. Although Gu Yao did not understand what was going on, she said patiently, ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s not a big injury. I¡¯m fine now.¡± Dong Xi did not ask any more questions, directly taking out a porcin bottle and pouring out a pill for Gu Yao. ¡°Senior Sister, take this pill,¡± said Dong Xi with a serious expression. Gu Yao felt that it was too wasteful to eat pills like this. Besides, there was nothing wrong with it, so she did not need to eat it at all. However, Dong Xi insisted that Gu Yao eat it. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, listen to me. I¡¯ll only be at ease when I see you eat it.¡± Seeing Dong Xi like this, Gu Yao thought for a moment and took the pill. Gu Yao ate the pill and looked at Dong Xi again. She said, ¡°Is it okay now? You can rx.¡± Dong Xi could finally rx when she saw Gu Yao eat the pill. Gu Yao did not have much demonic Qi in her body, so one Exorcism Pill should be enough. She would let the Big Snake take a look at her next time. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Sister, you can go back and rest,¡± said Dong Xi. After they parted, Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip again and sent a message to Song Qingfeng. [Second Senior Brother, where is Eldest Senior Brother? Why can¡¯t I contact him?] Song Qingfeng replied. [He probably went to fight, right? The geniuses of the eight big sects are all here. Eldest Senior Brother is a sword cultivator, so, of course, he¡¯s going to fight.] Song Qingfeng was also very curious. Little Junior Sister is also a sword cultivator, why didn¡¯t she go fight? Usually, Little Junior Sister would grind so much, but now she didn¡¯t? It was really rare. Dong Xi sighed and replied. [Forget it. I can look for you. Where are you now?] Soon, Dong Xi came to Song Qingfeng¡¯s location and sat across from him. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, I didn¡¯t expect you to end the battle so quickly.¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s puppet maidservant brought a te of spirit fruits to Dong Xi, and Dong Xi ate them without any hesitation. Song Qingfeng said lightly, ¡°This level ofpetition is really boring.¡± Dong Xipletely ignored his boastful words. Second Senior Brother was a cheater, how could he say such things? Forget it, business is more important. ¡°Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi, ¡°you have to be careful of the people from the Beast Trainer Sect. There¡¯s something wrong with them.¡± Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi in surprise, his fingers tapping on the tea table. He said, ¡°Oh, really? Little fellow, did you notice something wrong?¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Today, I watched Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s battle with the disciple from the Beast TrSiner sect. Although Senior Sister won, she was injured by the other party¡¯s demonic beast. When I apanied Senior Sister to the healing spot, I suddenly noticed a little demonic Qi on Senior Sister¡¯s body.¡± Hearing this, Song Qingfeng immediately became serious. He said, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s demonic Qi?¡± ¡°I¡¯m very sure.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°My spiritual aura is somewhat special. Even if the demonic Qi is faint, I can detect it. I¡¯m absolutely sure.¡± As the Big Snake could not be exposed at the moment, Dong Xi could only take the credit himself. At the same time, Dong Xi thought to himself, the kitten that had jumped into his arms that day, did it really like her? Now, it did not seem like it. It was probably because Dong Xi also had some demonic Qi. After hearing these words, Song Qingfeng frowned and did not look up. He stood up and said, ¡°You go back to your room first, I¡¯ll go look for Master Yi Kun.¡± Dong Xi nodded. Just as she was about to leave, Song Qingfeng stopped her. Dong Xi turned to look at Song Qingfeng, who said, ¡°Little Junior Sister, go back and lock the doors and windows. You must protect yourself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother, I know what to do,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Second Senior Brother had been very good to Dong Xi for a long time, so Dong Xi was not afraid of those demons. She even had strong demons by her side, so these small fries were not scary at all. Even if Dong Xi had really been contaminated with demonic Qi, she still had so many Exorcism Pills. Although she did not know why the Big Snake had asked her to prepare these Exorcism Pills, it might be because he wanted to turn over a new leaf and be a good person. No matter what, they were nowpletely useful. Dong Xi left Song Qingfeng¡¯s room. She did not go back to her room directly, but went to the projection screen and recorded all the disciples who went against the Beast Trainer Sect today. When she had the time, she could check them one by one to see if these people had been contaminated with demonic Qi. Chapter 274 - 274 Trouble Is Here 274 Trouble Is Here When Dong Xi returned to her room, she immediately activated the restriction. A bell suddenly rang from outside. Then, Thunder Sound Temple activated the sect¡¯s grand formation. Kong Xing also sent a message to Dong Xi. [Junior Sister, something happened. Don¡¯t go out for the next few days.] Dong Xi replied. !! [Okay, thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother.] After that, Dong Xi sent a message to her Senior Brothers and sisters, and then anonymously posted on the messenger jade slip that something had happened in the inter-sectpetition, telling everyone to stay in their rooms and not go out. Those who coulde here topete were all smart people and geniuses. None of them were stupid and they cherished their lives very much. No one would be so bold as to act rashly. Dong looked at the various messages in the messenger square and smiled. She put away the jade slip and prepared to continue using the power of lightning to temper her body. When it was dark, Dong Xi let out the tool Su Cheng and sent a message to Song Qingfeng. [Second Senior Brother, how is it? Is there a problem with the Beast Trainer Sect?] Song Qingfeng replied quickly. [I¡¯ve already found demonic Qi on the four of them, and I don¡¯t know when they were infected.] Dong Xi thought for a moment and replied. [Senior Brother, I have an idea. Don¡¯t just think about the disciples. We should also look into those demonic beasts.] Dong Xi had just sent the message when a sound came from outside the door. Dong Xi turned to look at the door, and the sound seemed very strange to Dong Xi. rms rang in her heart. Dong Xi¡¯s hair stood on end. Even though she felt that she had seen many things, she could not help but feel a little nervous in the face of such a situation. Before Dong Xi took it out of her ring, she stuck the talisman her Master had given her on the door. However, she was still worried that something would break in. Dong Xi thought quickly and had an idea. Dong Xi quickly sent a message to her two Senior Brothers. [Senior Brother, help! There¡¯s something outside my door!] After sending the message, Dong Xi took out many small dresses from her ring. These were all gifts from Su Cheng. Right now, she could not care less about how pretty these little dresses were. Dong Xi only had one thought. That was to save her own life! Dong Xi checked the effects of the dresses one by one and finally found the one with the best defense and speed. Then, she put on the pair of boots given by the Sect Master. Not only that, Dong Xi even took out a hair band made of defensive runes and tied it around her hair. The tortoiseshell that the Big Snake had given him was also worn around her neck. At this moment, Dong Xi was wearing red boots and a green dress. A ck turtle shell was around her neck, and her hair was tied up with a yellow hairband. This color scheme was quite cool. If it was any other day, Dong Xi would not wear these at all. But now, she had no choice. As long as they could save her life, it was fine. Dong Xi then took out the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman Su Cheng gave her. Only then did she feel a sense of security. Even if she could not fight, she could at least hold on until her two Senior Brothers came over. Dong Xi secretly leaned against the door and looked outside. She happened to meet a pair of yellow eyes, the vertical pupil looking straight at Dong Xi. Dong Xi immediately recognized that it was the kitten from earlier in the day. It was said that cats only had such eyes when they were hunting. Combined with what happened to Senior Sister Gu Yao today, Dong Xi no longer felt that kittens were cute. Dong Xi took a few steps back and called out to Su Cheng a few times in his heart. However, Su Cheng did not make a sound. Dong Xi felt helpless. He did not usually sleep, but he had to sleep now? Dong Xi was so anxious that she could not sit still. She did not know what to do. She turned her head and saw a shadow by the window. Dong Xi immediately became even more afraid, her hands reacting faster than his brain. He threw out a defensive talisman and stuck it on the window. Dong Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯te any closer, or I won¡¯t be polite to you!¡± ¡°Meow¡­¡± Normally, Dong Xi¡¯s heart would soften when she heard this sound, but when she thought of the kitten and the demons, Dong Xi¡¯s heart was as hard as iron. ¡°It¡¯s no use, I won¡¯t be soft-hearted,¡± said Dong Xi. The kitten meowed a few more times, but Dong Xipletely ignored it. The kitten scratched the door unhappily. Dong Xi sat on the bed, deep in thought. If the kittens outside were really contaminated with demonic Qi, they should be afraid of the Exorcism Pill. If Dong Xi could feed the kitten the Exorcism Pill, would the problem be solved? But the problem was that Dong Xi did not dare to open the door at all. What do cats like? Catnip did not exist in the cultivation world! Dong Xi rummaged through her storage ring for a long time and finally found the spirit fruit she had bought to tease Songsong. Dong Xi dug out the core of the fruit and threw it out through the crack of the door. Then, she turned her spiritual Qi into wood spiritual Qi to stimte the growth of the spirit fruit. The kitten squatted beside the fruit tree and watched it grow. Then, it looked at the crack in the door. Dong Xi took out the Exorcism Pill and was about to crush it when he was stopped by Su Cheng, who had woken up. ¡°Have you ever seen a cat eat a spirit fruit?¡± Su Cheng asked. Chapter 275 - 275 Not That Stupid 275 Not That Stupid Dong Xi heard Su Cheng¡¯s voice and was stunned. Su Cheng continued, ¡°You can¡¯t be thinking of crushing the pill and scattering it on the spirit fruit, right?¡±
Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi was busted. He had seen through her. She bit her lip and did not say anything. ¡°These demonic beasts aren¡¯t that stupid,¡± Su Cheng said again. Dong Xi heard Su Cheng still mocking her, so she whispered, ¡°You ignored me when I called you just now¡­¡± Su Chengughed and then said in a weird tone, ¡°You didn¡¯t tell me that you¡¯ve hidden so many Exorcism Pills in secret either.¡± ¡°When we made the deal, we only talked about the rules,¡± Dong Xi said seriously. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that I would hand over all the pills I refined. Big Snake, don¡¯t go too far, okay?¡± After saying that, Dong Xi paused for a moment and continued in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing I didn¡¯t give it all to you back then. Otherwise, I¡¯d be in a very passive position now.¡± As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, a wave of Sanskrit chanting came from outside. At this moment, the sound of Sanskrit chanting was like the sound of nature. Dong Xi¡¯s spirit was instantly lifted, and he took out hermunication jade slip to send a message to Kong Xing. [Senior Brother Kong Xing, I didn¡¯t know your temple¡¯s Sanskrit had the ability to inspire people!]
Kong Xing, who had been captured to chant Sutras, did not have time to reply. In front of the host, Kong Xing did not have the guts to ck off. Su Cheng transformed into his half-human, half-snake form again and appeared in the room. Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, Su Cheng¡¯s tail reached out and brought the kitten in. Dong Xi was so scared that she jumped onto the bed. Then she remembered that Su Cheng was a Demon Lord, and they were on the same side! Dong Xi stared at Su Cheng. If Su Cheng did anything outrageous, Dong Xi would immediately crush the teleportation talisman and leave this ce. Su Cheng saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions and was a little speechless. Then, he waved his hand and Dong Xi¡¯s Exorcism Pill flew out of her grip, and into Su Cheng¡¯s hand. Dong Xi was taken aback, and she almost crushed the teleportation talisman. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead. She remembered that Su Cheng had the space element, and most of the equipment she was wearing came from Su Cheng. If Su Cheng did not let Dong Xi leave, Dong Xi definitely would not be able to run away. All that stuff that she was wearing on her body was a joke to Su Cheng. Su Cheng did not care about her at all. He raised his hand and fed the Exorcism Pill to the kitten.
The cat looked at Su Cheng. Su Cheng said coldly, ¡°Eat it.¡± The kitten swallowed it obediently. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Then, looking at the change in the kitten, Dong Xi said, ¡°The demonic Qi on the kitten¡¯s body is all gone?¡± Su Cheng ignored Dong Xi and put his hand on the kitten¡¯s head. ¡°You¡­¡± Dong Xi immediately said nervously. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Su Cheng calmly raised his head. His dark golden eyes were simr to the kitten¡¯s. However, Su Cheng had a sharp face, but it was a little more demonic. ¡°Let me see,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°I¡¯ll see what this Beast Trainer Sect is hiding.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately understood. It seemed like he was about to perform a Soul Search! She remembered reading in a novel that Soul Searching was very cruel. Those who had their souls searched would have their souls destroyed. Dong Xi immediately said tactfully, ¡°Big Snake, didn¡¯t you say that it is very difficult for demonic beasts to cultivate? Who knows how many years it took for this little fellow to develop its wisdom. Now that there is no demonic Qi in its body, should we give it a way to live?¡± The kitten might be guilty, and Dong Xi would also support the Soul Search, but¡­ Su Cheng looked at Qing Xi and said, ¡°Who said it¡¯ll die if I search its soul?¡± ¡°Even if it doesn¡¯t die, its spirit will be affected in the future,¡± said Dong Xi immediately. ¡°How is the kitten going to cultivate in the future?¡± As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi as if he was looking at an idiot. Su Cheng¡¯s hand still did not move away, and the kitten did not dodge. Instead, it rubbed itself against Su Cheng¡¯s hand. Su Cheng smiled and used his spiritual sense to enter the cat¡¯s spiritual sense. Dong Xi kept looking at the kitten and found that it did not show any signs of difort. It was very obedient. After a while, Su Cheng retracted his hand. Dong Xi found that the kitten was sitting on the bed, meowing happily and licking its paws. ¡°Nothing happened?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. The cat rolled her eyes at Dong Xi and turned around, ignoring her. Dong Xi was speechless. She seemed to have been despised by the kitten. It did not matter. It was not that Dong Xi was stupid. It was those novels that were written wrong. Dong Xi coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. She looked at Su Cheng and said, ¡°Big Snake, did you find anything?¡± Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi immediately said,¡±What is it?¡± Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi and said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t talk to people who wear green dresses.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. Was there something wrong with this snake¡¯s brain? Chapter 276 - 276 If He’s So Great, Then He Would Not Speak for the Rest of His Life 276 If He¡¯s So Great, Then He Would Not Speak for the Rest of His Life Dong Xi¡¯s green dress was a gift from the Big Snake himself, and now he¡¯s saying he doesn¡¯t want to talk to people wearing it? Oh, fine. Dong Xi would wear it every day in the future. If he¡¯s so great, he would not speak for the rest of his life. Su Cheng really did not say anything, but his voice appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s consciousness. Su Cheng said, ¡°There are a few little fellows who sneaked out of the Demonic Realm and disguised themselves as demonic beasts, hiding in the Beast Trainer Sect.¡± Dong Xi suddenly thought of a sentence and calmed herself down. She looked at Su Cheng and said, ¡°I have a piece of advice for you. When you find a cockroach, there are already countless of them lurking in the dark.¡± !! Dong Xi saw Su Cheng nod and thought he understood, but Su Cheng said, ¡°What cockroach? What kind of species are cockroaches?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Was this the legendary generation gap? Forget it, Dong Xi did not want to argue with snakes that did not like green. ¡°They¡¯re a type of insect,¡± said Dong Xi seriously. ¡°There¡¯s a creature in this world that I¡¯ve never seen before?¡± Su Cheng frowned. ¡°The world is so big, so is it surprising that there are things you¡¯ve not seen before?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°There are too many things you haven¡¯t seen.¡± Su Cheng was silent for a moment before he said, ¡°Go back and tell your Master that one-third of Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s disciples and demonic beasts have been contaminated with demonic Qi. The monks¡¯ Sanskrit sounds can suppress it, but there¡¯s no way to clear it. After years of experiments, only the Exorcism Pills can clear the demonic Qi.¡± After Dong Xi heard this, he looked at Su Cheng curiously. Dong Xi said, ¡°Why are you so interested in clearing the demonic Qi?¡± Wasn¡¯t Su Cheng a Demon Lord? Without demonic Qi, could he still be considered a Demon Lord? Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°I want to be a good person. Is there a problem?¡± Dong Xi already knew about this. Su Cheng¡¯s inner core was in Dong Xi¡¯s stomach. Although it was poisonous, it did not have any demonic Qi. ¡°Alright,¡± said Dong Xi tteringly. ¡°You can be whatever kind of person you want to be, Old Man. You can also be a ghost cultivator.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s face suddenly became serious. He said, ¡°I¡¯m very young.¡± ¡°How old are you?¡± Dong Xi asked with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m 12.¡± Su Cheng was speechless. Su Cheng was silent. 12 years old? Even with a fraction of his age, he would be older than Dong Xi, so if Dong Xi said Su Cheng was old, Su Cheng could ept it. Seeing Su Cheng admit it, Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ll send a message to Master immediately. I don¡¯t have many exorcism pills either. I¡¯ve given you a lot of pills before, so I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t help Beast Trainer Sect now. I¡¯ll have to ask the Sect Master toe out.¡± ording to Dong Xi¡¯s understanding of the Sect Master, he should be able to gain a lot of benefits by helping the Beast Trainer Sect this time. Dong Xi took out the jade slip, and Su Cheng immediately came forward and asked curiously, ¡°How are you going to contact your Master?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as there¡¯s spiritual breath,¡± said Dong Xi immediately. Su Cheng¡¯s face turned ugly. The little cat approached Su Cheng, trying to please him, but he threw it out. The kitten meowed pitifully, but Su Cheng did not give in. He scolded, ¡°Go back to your master.¡± Dong Xi raised her head and looked outside. The first thing he saw was the door that Su Cheng had destroyed. ¡°What about the door?¡± asked Dong Xi with a headache. ¡°Have you forgotten that you have wood spiritual energy?¡± Su Cheng coldly said. ¡°Even if I have wood spiritual energy, I can¡¯t make a door,¡± said Dong Xi with a headache. ¡°You can think of a way,¡± Su Cheng said disdainfully. ¡°Your two Senior Brothers are here.¡± After saying that, Su Cheng changed back to the mark on Dong Xi¡¯s wrist. Dong Xi looked at the broken door and the tree and fell into deep thought. The Big Snake was angry again? With such an unstable emotion, it was impossible to guess if she offended the Big Snake just now. Dong Xi sighed softly and plucked the spirit fruit. Then, she threw out a small fireball, burning the small tree to ashes. He looked at the broken door again. Hmm¡­ How was Dong Xi going to exin? Dong Xi thought with a bitter face, unconsciously raising his hand to touch the back of her head. She suddenly thought of something. The hole in the door¡­ ¡°Junior Sister, how are you?¡± asked Song Qingfeng. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Dong Xi immediately left the room and saw Second Senior Brother rushing over. Song Qingfeng was stunned when he saw Dong Xi. He said, ¡°Junior sister, why are you dressed like this?¡± Even if Dong Xi did not look in the mirror, she knew that her current attire was somewhat out of ce. However, now was not the time to chat. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, why are you so slow?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words reminded Song Qingfeng that what she was wearing was not important. He quickly used his divine sense to scan the room, but he found nothing. ¡°Junior Sister, where¡¯s the monster you were talking about?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. ¡°It already ran away,¡± said Dong Xi with a frown. Chapter 277 - 277 You Can Fight Monsters by Yourself? 277 You Can Fight Monsters by Yourself? Song Qingfeng widened his eyes and said in surprise, ¡°The monster ran away? Junior Sister, you¡¯re amazing. You can fight monsters by yourself now?¡± In this way, Song Qingfeng found Dong Xi¡¯s outfit a lot more pleasing to the eye. So she wore such an outfit to fight the monster. It was not a bad thing. Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± This was a beautiful misunderstanding. Second Senior Brother was really daring. Dong Xi was just a Qi Refinement stage trash. When facing a demonic beast, of course, she would protect her own life. She would not dare to show off. ¡°Second Senior Brother, you might not believe it, but the demonic beast ran away on its own,¡± said Dong Xi. Hearing this, Song Qingfeng felt strange, but he also believed Dong Xi. As for why the demonic beast was looking for his Junior Sister, Song Qingfeng guessed that she must have some secret. Song Qingfeng did not continue asking and looked at the hole in the door. Feeling nervous, Song Qingfeng sized up Dong Xi again and said, ¡°Is the door broken? Did the demonic beast hurt you?¡± ¡°No, Second Senior Brother,¡± Dong Xi said guiltily. ¡°I was the one who broke the door.¡± ¡°What?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. ¡°Did you run int the door? This door is made of steel and wood, so how could you have damaged it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just practicing the Iron Head Technique!¡± Dong Xi said unconfidently. ¡°You¡¯re quite powerful!¡± Song Qingfeng said. Dong Xi was afraid that Song Qingfeng would ask her to demonstrate it again, so she immediately said, ¡°I see that the Thunder Sound Temple has activated their formation. Second Senior Brother, what is the situation now? Where are Eldest Senior Brother and the others?¡± ¡°Come with me,¡± Song Qingfeng said while waving his fan. ¡°You¡¯ll find out soon.¡± In the beginning, Song Qingfeng thought that it would be fine for his Junior Sister to hide. However, it seemed that it was not safe to hide, so he decided to take her with him. Dong Xi nodded obediently. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Junior Sister, are you really going to wear this out?¡± Her colorful outfit was a little blinding to the eyes¡­ Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s current outfit was the one that could give her the highest chance of survival. Currently, Thunder Sound Temple was in danger, and there were still six years before Dong Rourou¡¯s birth. Looking at the circumstances, Dong Xi¡¯s future was very good, and she did not want to die young. Although this outfit was ugly, it could really save her life! ¡°Second Senior Brother, I don¡¯t want to be like this either, but this outfit¡¯s defensive power is very high,¡± Dong Xi said. The current Dong Xi had some understanding of spirit weapons, tools, and the like. Therefore, when the Big Snake had given her the clothes, Dong Xi thought that they were just a pile of ordinary clothes. She had not expected them to be treasured tools. The one Dong Xi was wearing was a high-grade bejeweled tool. It could be said to be a must-have when going out. This also made Dong Xi understand that the Big Snake was even more afraid that Dong Xi would be killed by someone identally. ¡°Your clothes aren¡¯t bad,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°But isn¡¯t this green dress a terrible match with red boots?¡± Song Qingfeng thought, ¡®When his aunt came, would it be possible for her to teach Dong Xi how to dress better?¡¯ No matter what, he had to change this girl¡¯s taste in beauty. ¡°Second Senior Brother,¡± Dong Xi said innocently, ¡°this pair of boots was given by the Sect Master. It¡¯s very useful for escaping.¡± ¡°Forget it,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a sigh. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t feel embarrassed.¡± Dong Xi smiled and jumped onto Song Qingfeng¡¯s fan. She said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m very thick-skinned.¡± ¡°I¡¯m d you think so,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a meaningful tone. When Song Qingfeng brought Dong Xi to the ce, Dong Xi could no longer smile. There were at least 800 people below. By this time, thepetition had already stopped, and all the disciples had gathered in groups from their respective sects. This was only part of the crowd. Many more people were still meditating in their meditation rooms. Song Qingfeng led Dong Xi to the group from the Ningtian Sect. Liang Yan was right in front of the group, checking all his Junior Brothers and Sisters to see if anyone had been infected by the demonic Qi. Seeing Song Qingfenge back with Dong Xi, Liang Yan immediately said, ¡°Hurry up and help.¡± The disciples were all dressed in the same uniform, and only Dong Xi stood out in her brightly-colored clothes. ¡°Junior Sister,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile, ¡°are you going to be alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Dong Xi stiffly replied stiffly. As she said that, he muttered in his heart, ¡®It doesn¡¯t matter, I don¡¯t care, so it¡¯s not embarrassing.¡¯ Dong Xi calmed down and secretly controlled a wisp of spiritual energy. Dong Xi might not be good at fighting, but his perception of demonic Qi was still pretty good. No, to be precise, the Big Snake¡¯s perception was not bad. After the spiritual Qi circled around the group, Dong Xi secretly told Song Qingfeng what she found. Although she tried to be discreet, Dong Xi¡¯s colorful clothes attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, Song Qingfeng was isted from the outside world. Chapter 278 - 278 Did It Bite You? 278 Did It Bite You? ¡°Are you sure?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. ¡°Of course,¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you¡¯ll know when you check it yourself.¡± Song Qingfeng came to a disciple and checked his body with his spiritual energy. Finally, he looked at his bare feet. ¡°When did you get this injury?¡± Song Qingfeng asked seriously. !! The disciple was stunned as well. They had always been investigating the disciples whopeted with Beast Trainer Sect, but this disciple had neverpeted with anyone from Beast Trainer Sect. The disciple frowned and thought for a long time before looking at Song Qingfeng. He said with uncertainty, ¡°The day we arrived, I saw someone from Beast Trainer Sect with a Divine Golden Leopard, so I took out a piece of meat to y with it.¡± ¡°Did it bite you?¡± Song Qingfeng immediately asked. The disciple revealed the injury on his bare foot, which was a light scratch. The disciple said, ¡°It didn¡¯t bite me. I was just teasing it when it scratched me with its ws. So, I didn¡¯t take it seriously.¡± Song Qingfeng took out a pill and was about to feed it to his Junior Brother. Dong Xi happened to see it and immediately said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, wait!¡± Song Qingfeng turned around and saw Dong Xi holding a pill. Dong Xi said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, let him eat this one. You don¡¯t have to waste your pill.¡± This Senior Brother only had a little bit of demonic Qi, even less than Senior Sister Gu Yao. He did not need to consume such a good pill. Eating it was like using a butcher¡¯s knife to kill a chicken. Furthermore, it waspletely wrong. Poison Subduing Pill, a fifth-grade pill! Its function was to fix the toxins in the body in one ce, so that the toxins would not circte through the meridians and blood. In that way, the toxin would not spread, and he could save his life. Dong Xi estimated that Second Senior Brother would not have any medicinal pill to remove the demonic Qi, so he used this medicinal pill to control the demonic Qi. However, the diligent and thrifty Dong Xi could not just sit by and do nothing. After all, it was such a precious medicinal pill. Song Qingfeng looked at the pill in Dong Xi¡¯s hand and took it. He sniffed it. He had never smelled it before, nor had hee into contact with such a pill. ¡°What kind of pill is this?¡± asked Song Qingfeng. ¡°Second Senior Brother, this is an Exorcism Pill,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°It can clear the demonic Qi in the body.¡± ¡°What?¡± Song Qingfeng asked in shock, ¡°How did you get this pill?¡± After all, no one could possibly prepare some pills that would never be used. Could it be¡­ Did Junior Sister already know that this would happen? Dong Xi had already thought of a reason. She said, ¡°The demonic creature in the mine gave me a lingering fear, and that drove me to research and create the Exorcism Pill. In the end, I really found this pill recipe, so I made it and brought some with me.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°This Exorcism Pill is indeed better than my pill. How many more do you have?¡± Dong Xi rummaged through her storage ring before finally taking out a porcin bottle and obediently handing it to her Senior Brother. Dong Xi said, ¡°Ten pills.¡± Ten pills per batch? Furthermore, it was perfectly refined? The first time she refined a new pill, and she was able to refine it perfectly? He was afraid that even his Master might not be able to do such a thing. As for those reasons, they were no longer important. Song Qingfeng had always known that his Junior Sister had a secret. Song Qingfeng took out a bottle of Poison Subduing Pills and gave it to Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°I¡¯ll use this to exchange with you.¡± A third-grade item for a fifth-grade item. The Exorcism Pills could only remove demonic Qi, but the Poison Subduing Pills could deal with all kinds of poisons. Dong Xi profited greatly from this deal. Dong Xi took the porcin bottle and said with a smile, ¡°Second Senior Brother, you¡¯re so generous!¡± Song Qingfeng was also very happy to hear Dong Xi¡¯s praise. At this time, an electric current suddenly ran through Dong Xi¡¯s arm, and it went numb. Dong Xi¡¯s smile froze. Su Cheng¡¯s voice appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. He said, ¡°So you¡¯ve hidden a lot of pills!¡± Dong Xi was speechless. This was the bad thing about having a bodyguard with her at all times. She could not have any secrets. ¡°When we get back, I¡¯ll refine a few batches of pills for you, alright?¡± Dong Xi replied in her sea of consciousness. ¡°20 cauldrons,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°Woah, you can¡¯t exploit me like this,¡± said Dong Xi with dissatisfaction. Su Cheng could hear Dong Xi¡¯s dissatisfaction, and he casually said, ¡°I¡¯ll guarantee your safety before you return to the sect.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately said, ¡°Deal!¡± Wouldn¡¯t it have been better if the Big Snake had said so earlier? To ensure the safety of this period of time, not to mention 20 batches, even 40 batches would be fine! This thought appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Su Cheng¡¯s voice appeared in her mind again. Su Cheng said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know I¡¯m aware of all your thoughts?¡± Chapter 279 - 279 Not a Gentleman 279 Not a Gentleman Dong Xi was speechless. She said, ¡°Prying into other people¡¯s thoughts is not what a gentleman would do.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a gentleman,¡± Su Cheng said. After saying that, Su Cheng left Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. Su Cheng really did not know what Dong Xi was thinking now. !! When Dong Xi was arguing with the snake in her sea of consciousness, Song Qingfeng had already made him eat the Exorcism Pill. After a short while, he sensed again and found that the original bit of demonic Qi had disappeared. Song Qingfeng realized the value of the pill. Perhaps it was more valuable than the Beauty Pill. Song Qingfeng coughed a few times and was about to send a voice message to Dong Xi, but he suddenly remembered that this silly Junior Sister rarely sent voice messages. After thinking for a moment, he took out a message jade slip and began to write. Dong Xi felt the message jade slip and took it out to take a look. She did not expect it to be from Second Senior Brother. The two of them were together, so why did they need to send each other a message? Dong Xi opened it. [Junior Sister, do you want to work together again?] Dong Xi was indeed Song Qingfeng¡¯s Junior Sister. He did not need to say anything and immediately understood what he was trying to say. Dong Xiughed. No wonder Second Senior Brother¡¯s family was so rich. He was such an enterprising person. Dong Xi immediately replied. [Deal!] Song Qingfeng did not expect Dong Xi to reply so quickly, but he was stunned when he saw the one word. Junior Sister¡­ Why did not you ask what the cooperation is about? This silly Junior Sister¡­ He was afraid that she would be scammed in the future. Song Qingfeng could not help but say a few words, but he heard Dong Xi say with a smile, ¡°If it was someone else, they would definitely be on guard, but aren¡¯t you my Senior Brother? Even if the sky falls, Senior Brother will bear it for me. Naturally, you won¡¯t cheat me.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words made Song Qingfeng very happy. His smile was like a spring breeze, attracting the attention of many goddesses around him. Although he was very good-looking, his words were ruthless. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°You¡¯re really thinking too much. I won¡¯t help you. If the sky falls, you¡¯ll have to bear it yourself.¡± Dong Xi and Song Qingfeng had been together for two years, so how could she not know that Song Qingfeng had a sharp mouth but a soft heart? He was so cute. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°One day, when I¡¯m aplished in my studies, I will be able to take care of myself, and I¡¯ll help you too. ¡°Okay,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. ¡°Senior Brother didn¡¯t dote on you for nothing.¡± As the two of them chatted andughed, Liang Yan quietly went behind them and said, ¡°What are you talking about? Why are you allughing like this?¡± Just as Dong Xi was about to say something, Song Qingfeng immediately gave her a look. Song Qingfeng did not say anything, but Dong Xi understood. Dong Xi was silent, and song Qingfeng said mysteriously, ¡°Senior Brother, I have another money-making task. Are you in?¡± Dong Xi looked at her two Senior Brothers. This scene seemed familiar. The Eldest Senior Brother was just as tempted as before. Liang Yan said, ¡°What is it? Or are youcking people to refine pills?¡± Dong Xi and Song Qingfeng looked at each other andughed at the same time. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Song Qingfeng said. Liang Yan did not reject him directly this time. He said, ¡°What kind of pill is it this time?¡± Dong Xi saw that Song Qingfeng only moved his lips but did not make a sound, so he must have sent a message to his Eldest Senior Brother. Liang Yan¡¯s face was filled with shock. He looked at Dong Xi and then at Song Qingfeng. Liang Yan nodded and said, ¡°If there¡¯s such a good thing in the future, you must call me.¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. ¡°With our rtionship, how can I ever forget you?¡± Liang Yan was now a sixth-grade alchemist, and it was very expensive to get someone with such skill to refine pills for them. Only Eldest Senior Brother would work so hard without anyints, not for the sake of money. The three of them came to a consensus. Meanwhile, Yi Kun also returned. The entire Beast Trainer Sect was now locked up in istion. At first, the leader of the Beast Trainer Sect, Master Wu Wang, did not agree, but faced with the collective opposition of the other seven major sects, he could only endure it. Master Wu Wang did not know when the demonic race had invaded his sect. After a quick investigation, he found that one-third of the people and demonic beasts he had brought with him this time had been contaminated with demonic Qi. He did not know what the rest of the disciples in the sect were like now¡­ Wu Wang immediately sent a message to the Sect Master, but there was no response. After that, he sent a message to another Elder whom he had a better rtionship with, but there was still no response. Master Wu Wang was instantly anxious. He recalled that before he left the sect, the Sect Master had given him a jade slip and told him to crush it if he encountered any trouble. At first, Master Wu Wang did not take it to heart, believing that there would not be any trouble. Although there was a gap in strength between the eight great sects, they still would not attack them in broad daylight. However, he did not expect that he would encounter such a huge problem. Chapter 280 - 280 Something Happened to Beast Trainer Sect 280 Something Happened to Beast Trainer Sect Master Wu Wang hastily took out the jade slip and immediately crushed it. A wisp of the Sect Master¡¯s soul came out. Without waiting for Master Wu Wang to say anything, the Sect Master¡¯s soul said, ¡°Wu Wang, something has happened to Beast Trainer Sect.¡± Daoist Master Wu Wang stared nkly, then immediately said, ¡°Sect Master, you know about it? One-third of our disciples and demonic beasts have been contaminated with demonic Qi. How is the sect now? Did you receive my message?¡± The Sect Master of Beast Trainer Sect sighed and said, ¡°The sect is in a worse state than yours. I¡¯ve activated the sect¡¯s protective formation, so none of my disciples can leave. I know that you haven¡¯t removed the demonic Qi, so I¡¯m asking you to lead a team. Quickly ask for help from the other sects. We need to rely on them so that our Beast Trainer Sect disciples can be safe and sound!¡± !! Master Wu Wang frowned and said, ¡°But¡­ are they willing to help?¡± The eight great sects were in apetitive rtionship. Perhaps these people would be willing to see the Beast Trainer Sect fall? However, the Sect Master of Beast Trainer Sect said firmly, ¡°They all call themselves Righteous sects. If you ask them in private, you will definitely be rejected. But if you ask them in front of everyone, these people will definitely agree. If they don¡¯t¡­ they¡¯ll be shunned.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± said Wu Wang with a nod. ¡­ Master Wu Wang immediately went to see the other seven Elders. Although he could not let the sect disciples leave this ce, he was free toe and go. Wu Wang found the seven people and told them the Sect Master¡¯s words and his request for help. Master Wu Wang said, ¡°Currently, our sect has activated the sect¡¯s protective array. The disciples in the sect can not leave. The Sect Master has tried his best to control the demonic Qi in the sect. I hope that Fellow Daoists can help us.¡± The Thunder Sound Temple¡¯s Abbot, Xuan Chen, said, ¡°Since Sect Master Wu Ren is so righteous, the Thunder Sound Temple is willing to help. Our Diamond Sutra has a suppressing effect on demonic Qi, so we will send 108 Buddhist cultivators to help.¡± Master Wu Wang immediately stood up and expressed his thanks. The other sects also expressed their willingness to help, but if they wanted to help, they would have to discuss it with their respective Sect Masters. If they did not do anything and angered the Beast Trainer Sect, it may result in the Beast Trainer Sect releasing their disciples and demonic beasts contaminated with demonic Qi. That would have a great impact on the East Continent. When a person was infected with demonic Qi, his mind and temperament would be more violent over time. Cultivation would also require more demonic Qi, which would thenpletely corrode one¡¯s mind. In the past, the Immortal cultivation world had rejected the demon race because the demon race liked to fight and kill. The seven sects discussed for a night, and in the end, all the sects sent people to support. Some sects pulled out records of fighting against the demon race from the ancient books in their own library halls. They sorted out their meridians, resisted the demonic Qi, and suppressed the demonic Qi with medicinal pills¡­ They also took them out for experiments. ¡°It would be great if we had the recipe for the Exorcism Pill. It¡¯s the best way to remove the demonic Qi,¡± said Master Lingxu. Sect Master Wei Nan, who was standing beside Lingxu, sighed. Wei Nan said, ¡°That¡¯s true, but it¡¯s rumored that the Exorcism Pill¡¯s recipe was destroyed by the demon race back then. I wonder if anyone has managed to re-develop the Exorcism Pill?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very difficult,¡± Master Lingxu said. ¡°What kind of genius can do it¡­¡± After so many years of being on the path of pill refinement, Master Lingxu was more and more aware of the difficulty of pill refinement. Everything that was left behind by the ancestors that had something to do with the demon race and demonic Qi was all destroyed, so how could they possibly refine Exorcism Pills? ¡°It¡¯s okay, ¡± said Wei Nan. ¡°Sect Master Wu Ren is a righteous man. What he¡¯s doing now has effectively contained the demonic Qi and stopped it from spreading. The Alchemy Sect will send some disciples to help my eldest disciple investigate the truth of the demonic Qi incident in the Beast Trainer Sect.¡± ¡­ The people of the eight sects were all rushing to Beast Trainer Sect. Sect Master Wu Ren was loyal and guarded the formation personally. He released ten people at a time. When the demonic Qi in the ten people¡¯s bodies was controlled, Wu Ren would release another ten. Dong Xi needed the earth fire in the alchemy room to make a third-grade Exorcism Pill, so she could not help much at the moment. However, this third-grade pill was a piece of cake for Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng. The two of them could even refine four cauldrons at the same time. Even Second Senior Brother, who had always regarded money as dirt, was now refining pills day and night. In just one night, the two of them had refined more than 400 Exorcism Pills! Song Qingfeng immediately sent a message to someone to take the pill and put it in the store. He also started to promote it on the square where the message jade slip was. Dong Xi originally wanted to teach Second Senior Brother some marketing techniques from her previous life, but when she opened themunication jade slip, it was full of information about the Exorcism Pill. Dong Xi knew that it waspletely unnecessary. Chapter 281 - 281 Business Talent 281 Business Talent Dong Xi knew that Second Senior Brother¡¯s talent in business was as amazing as his talent in cultivation. On themunication jade slip square, the crowd also started to discuss. [Have you guys heard? The Exorcism Pill can clear the demonic Qi.] [Really? Doesn¡¯t that mean that Beast Trainer Sect can be saved?] !! [Beast Trainer Sect is really interesting. I heard that the Rainbow Store said that Beast Trainer Sect will get a 50 percent discount if they buy it!] ¡­ Dong Xi looked around casually. She did not that Second Senior Brother would give people a 50 percent discount. This way, not only would he be able to help Beast Trainer Sect, but he would also gain a good reputation and earn spiritual stones. He might not have such arge order in the future. When Beast Trainer Sect heard the news, they immediately sent people to buy the Exorcism Pills. The first person to test the pill was Sect Master Wu Ren. As the Sect Master of the Beast Trainer Sect, he was also contaminated with demonic Qi. Even Wu Ren¡¯s cultivation was quietly eroded by the demonic Qi, not to mention the disciples. Demonic Qi was really evil. Wu Ren took the Exorcism Pill and immediately consumed it. As soon as he sat down, he began to feel the changes in his body. He found that the demonic Qi in his body seemed to have been scattered in an instant. The demonic Qi that had already condensed in his dantian began to dissipate. Wu Ren was very happy. He ate two more pills and found that the effect was better. He immediately asked people to distribute the remaining pills to the disciples. The Ningtian Sect was very surprised when they found out that the Rainbow Store was selling Exorcism Pills. He did not know if this pill just happened to have the same name, or if it really could eliminate demonic Qi. The Rainbow Store was very powerful. They had brought out the legendary Youth Pill before, and now they had the Exorcism Pill. It seemed that there was a high chance that the Exorcism Pill would even start to sell outside of the Eastern Continent in the future. After a day, the Ningtian Sect learned that the Exorcism Pill in the store was genuine! ¡°Get someone to buy some immediately,¡± said Wei Nan immediately. The crisis that Beast Trainer Sect was facing this time made Wei Nan understand that he had to be on his guard. Until now, Beast Trainer Sect had not found out how they had been contaminated by demonic Qi. Those demons were better at hiding than people had imagined. If such a thing happened to Ningtian Sect in the future, what would they do? When they bought the Exorcism Pill, Wei Nan found out that only the Beast Trainer Sect bought it at half price. The others had to buy it at the original price. Wasn¡¯t this clearly a big seed of resentment? The Elder of the Ningtian Sect haggled with the manager of the Rainbow Store for a long time. In the end, it was a 30 percent discount. The manager of the Rainbow Store even requested that the Ningtian Sect not tell anyone. The Elder of the Ningtian Sect was very satisfied when he found out that other than the Ningtian Sect, the other sects only had a 10 percent discount. The Rainbow Store did not expect that Love Smoke Tower would also send people to purchase the pills. The person who came was Lady Rong. Lady Rong said, ¡°I want all the Exorcism Pills in the store!¡± The Demon Lord had sent a message to tell Lady Rong to purchase the Exorcism Pill. Although it was a little expensive, it was better than relying on Dong Xi, that half-baked little girl. The Love Smoke Tower was a special ce in the Immortal cultivation world. Many people knew about this ce, but no one could say where it was. The manager took a sip of water and prepared to haggle again. He did not expect that Lady Rong would buy it at the original price without haggling at all. As a businessman, he naturally liked to get customers in such a forthright way. This was definitely the best business he had done in the past few days. The manager of the shop was very happy and gave her five Exorcism Pills as a gift. Lady Rong was very touched. This human was not bad. He even gave her a gift? And it was not just one pill, but five pills, which could really be of great use. The demonic Qi on Niu Shan¡¯s body was increasing. The Demon Lord¡¯s Token could temporarily suppress the demonic Qi in Niu Shan, but it would go out of control one day. When Niu Shan¡¯s demonic Qi invaded his eyes, he would be a half-awake state. Without his consciousness, Niu Shan would be extremely terrifying. Now, the five free Exorcism Pills were just enough for Niu Shan to consume. They would at least be able to suppress Niu Shan for a few years. The transaction waspleted very quickly. As Lady Rong walked out, she sent a message to Su Cheng, telling him everything that happened. She also said that the manager of the shop was a good person. Su Cheng had been by Dong Xi¡¯s side for so long that he was no longer the resentful seed he was before. Looking at the news of Lady Rong, Su Cheng was silent. Su Cheng could not help but wonder if he had made the wrong choice. Could he really be at ease if he allowed Lady Rong to manage the Love Smoke Tower? She even paid full price for Dong Xi¡¯s pills. Su Cheng tactfully replied to Lady Rong¡¯s message, asking her to bring someone who could bargain to go with her next time. Lady Rong only saw the Demon Lord¡¯s reply after she got out of the teleportation formation. Lady Rong muttered to herself. ¡°Bargain? What¡¯s that?¡± Rong Niang returned to Love Smoke Tower in confusion. She passed through the thin spatial barrier and returned to Tengshe Street. Chapter 282 - 282 Haggling 282 Haggling There were demons and humans on the streets. Most of them had a little demonic Qi on them. Qianqian saw Lady Rong and shouted, ¡°Lady Rong.¡± Lady Rong turned around and saw a cute little girl not far away. She waved her hand happily. Lady Rongughed. She had picked up this little girl thest time she went out. Qianqian quickly ran to Mother Rong¡¯s side and said, ¡°Sister Rong, did you go out just now? Did something interesting happen outside? Is there any news of Little Xi?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Lady Rong shook her head and said, ¡°Dong Xi should be at Thunder Sound Temple now, participating in the sectpetition.¡± Just as Qianqian was about to say something, Lady Rong continued, ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯ve juste from outside. Do you know what haggling is?¡± ¡°Haggling?¡± Qianqianughed and said, ¡°A cousin from my tribe is very good at it!¡± Mother Rong looked around but did not see Qianqian¡¯s cousin. She said, ¡°Where is your cousin?¡± Qianqian looked around and did not see her cousin. She said unhappily, ¡°She probably went to speak with some demon beasts.¡± Most of the people here were demon beasts. Although there were humans, there were very few of them. Therefore, the people here were rough and tough, and they were not as smart as the people in Fotai City. That ¡®cousin¡¯ from the Yuqian Tribe had been here for a few days, and she was like a fish in water. As expected, not long after, a group of demon beasts chased after the Qianqian¡¯s cousin. These demon beasts looked really angry. Yi Li hid beside Qianqian, and the demon beasts chasing after her stopped immediately when they saw Lady Rong. They called out respectfully, ¡°Lady Rong.¡± ¡°Why are you guys chasing him?¡± asked Lady Rong, nodding. Hearing Lady Rong¡¯s question, everyone started talking. ¡°This b*stard, he said I¡¯m destined to have no children.¡± ¡°They said that I was cuckolded and that my wife hadmitted adultery long ago.¡± ¡°I said that doing business is bound to be a loss.¡± ¡­ Lady Rong also understood why they were angry. She waved her hand to silence the crowd. Then, she looked at Yi Li, who was hiding beside Qianqian. Yi Li was a newly transformed little demon beast. She was very scared when surrounded by these demon beasts. Qianqian reached out and pinched Yi Li¡¯s arm. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Lady Rong is looking at you¡­¡± Yi Li knew that she could not avoid this, so she smiled and said, ¡°They asked me to tell their fortunes, so I¡¯ll tell them whatever I tell them. I can say that I¡¯m wrong, but I can¡¯t say that I¡¯m lying to them, right?¡± Lady Rong looked at the group of demon beasts who were waiting for the case to be solved. She did not know what to say. She could only wave her hand and ask them to leave. ¡°From today onwards, no matter if it¡¯s a human or a demon beast, no one in my Love Smoke Tower can tell fortunes! If you disobey, you will be immediately expelled from the Love Smoke Tower.¡± After saying that, Lady Rong turned around and walked into Love Smoke Tower. She said in a low voice, ¡°Qianqian, take your cousin ande with me.¡± Only then did Qianqian immediately pull Yi Li and follow behind Lady Rong. The two of them had just entered the house when the door was immediately closed. ¡°We shouldn¡¯t havee here,¡± Yi Li said fearfully, ¡°Why did you bring me in? Let¡¯s hurry up and leave, or elsedy Lady Rong will be angry.¡± After all, Lady Rong had chased away all the demons with a wave of her hand, not to mention weaklings like Yi Li and Qianqian. Seeing that Yi Li was about to run away, Qianqian immediately pulled her back and said, ¡°Uncle, it was Lady Rong who asked us to follow her.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Li was confused. ¡°Lady Rong asked us to follow? Why?¡± Lin Li was very curious. Mother Rong also turned around and looked at the two of them. Mother Rong said, ¡°Yi Li, do you know how to haggle?¡± When Yi Li heard this, she immediately nodded and said, ¡°Of course. Back then, when I was in human form, I was very poor and had to be thrifty with spirit stones¡­¡± At the mention of the past, Tu Li looked like she wanted to cry. She could not bear to recall the past. However, Lady Rong did not know about this. She was only concerned if Yi Li knew how to haggle or not. From the looks of it, this fox was still somewhat useful. ¡°Alright,¡± said Lady Rong. ¡°You can haggle for me in the future. I¡¯ll give you 30 percent of the spirit stones we save.¡± Yi Li¡¯s eyes widened in excitement. She was so excited that she could not even maintain her illusion, and she transformed from an old man into a handsome young man. Seeing Yi Li¡¯s appearance, Lady Rong took a long time toe back to her senses. She said, ¡°Give me your spiritual breath. I¡¯ll bring you along the next time I go shopping.¡± Yi Li was very excited. She could finally go out. Tengshe Street was very good, but after a long time, it had be very boring. Lady Rong did not make Yi Li wait for long. Three dayster, the store delivered another batch of Exorcism Pills. Lady Rong immediately called Yi Li and the two of them went to the store together. The two receptionists were still the same as before. When they saw Lady Ronge again, they were instantly happy! Chapter 283 - 283 The Seed of Resentment Is Here 283 The Seed of Resentment Is Here When the manager saw that it was Lady Rong, his lips curved up. This seed of resentment was here again. It was still great to work with such a person. A buyer who did not bargain was a good buyer. However, the manager did not expect that this time, Rong Niang was well prepared. The entire time, Lady Niang did not say a word. She was only there to provide money. With Lady Rong as her backing, Yi Li was even more aggressive in bargaining. She talked about the righteousness of the human race, about the unity of the human race, and then said that the Exorcism Pill was a third-grade pill that could be mass-produced. She also said that Love Smoke Tower would purchase it often in the future¡­ In the end, the manager admitted defeat and chose topromise. The manager said, ¡°10 percent off, only 10 percent off. All the sects have this price. If it¡¯s any less, I won¡¯t be able to exin it to the others. We¡¯ll also be making a loss!¡± Yi Li did not believe him at all. She said, ¡°Manager, isn¡¯t this a bit wrong? We¡¯ve been in the cultivation world for many years, and everyone knows how profitable medicinal pills are. How can there only be a 10 percent profit? Our Love Smoke Tower is different from those sects. Those sects can¡¯t buy as many as we do. In the future, no matter how many Exorcism Pills you have here, our Love Smoke Tower will take them all. Our Great Lord doesn¡¯tck money!¡± Yi Li pestered him for a long time, and the manager could only say that 10 percent was the limit. If he wanted to continue, he had to ask the owner first. Yi Li was not in a hurry. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. When the manager came back, he told him that the most he could offer was a 20 percent discount. A 20 percent discount did not sound like much, but since the Love Smoke Tower bought a lot of pills, it was quite a hefty sum in the end. Yi Li turned to look at Lady Niang, who was very happy but still looked calm. Lady Niang nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± However, she appeared really anxious when she paid the spirit stones, as if she was afraid that the shop would go back on their word. After sending off the people from Love Smoke Tower, the manager of the Rainbow Store fell into deep thought. Wasn¡¯t the master of the Love Smoke Tower Su Cheng, the Demon Lord? Why would a Demon Lord buy so many Exorcism Pills? It can¡¯t be that he¡¯s preventing everyone from clearing the demonic Qi in their bodies, right? But that did not make sense. If that was the case, how could the Boss not know? How could he sell it at a 20 percent discount to the people from Love Smoke Tower? The manager couldn¡¯t understand. Perhaps Boss had forgotten? The manager sent a message to his Boss. The Boss did not exin anything and only asked the manager to do what he had to do. Song Qingfeng was also very confused as to why his Junior Sister would ask him to sell it to Love Smoke Tower at a 20 percent discount. Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi with a faint smile and said, ¡°Little Xi, you have to give us a reason for this.¡± Dong Xi was only doing this for her own benefit. As long as the Big Snake could buy Exorcism Pills, he would not keep posting her to refine pills all day. Although Second Senior Brother would ask, Dong Xi would not tell him the truth. Dong Xi smiled like a cunning Fox. She said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, if the Love Smoke Tower keeps buying third-grade pills, they¡¯ll be a big customer that gives you a stable ie, right? ¡± Song Qingfeng furrowed his brows and made a judgment in his heart. The Exorcism Pill was a rare pill, so even if little Junior Sister came to negotiate, Song Qingfeng would not agree to sell it to the Love Smoke Tower. Song Qingfeng also did not understand why Love Smoke Tower wanted to buy the Exorcism Pill. He said, ¡°Little Junior Sister, why did Love Smoke Tower buy so many Exorcism Pills? A few hundred years ago, Love Smoke Tower came to the cultivation world, but then they disappeared. Thetest news I heard about them is that their master, the Demon Lord Su Cheng, failed his Tribtion.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s arms felt much heavier after hearing Song Qingfeng¡¯s words. Just as Second Senior Brother mentioned it, Dong Xi said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, what did Love Smoke Tower do? Why do the eight great sects want to deal with Love Smoke Tower?¡± Song Qingfeng waved the fan in his hand as if he was reminiscing. He said, ¡°When I was young, I heard from my Elders that in the northernmost area, there is a small ce called Qinan City. It was invaded by the demonic race, and 80 percent of the cultivators in the city died, turning it into an empty city. Even those who survived were unable to resist the demonic Qi, and in the end, they were tortured to death by the Mental Demons. Speaking of this, Song Qingfeng sighed. He continued, ¡°At that time, the people from the Disha Sect who were the closest went to investigate. All they saw was the Demon Lord Su Cheng leaving that ce.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Could it be that Dong Xi had judged the Big Snake wrongly? The Big Snake was evil to begin with? Dong Xi instantly thought of the tale of ¡®The Farmer and the Viper¡¯ that she had learned in her previous life. Just as she had this thought, a weak power of lightning spread from her arm. Dong Xi came back to her senses and looked at Song Qingfeng. ¡°Second Senior Brother, in the future, we¡­ should we less medicinal pills to Love Smoke Tower?¡± Just as he finished speaking, another wave of lightning power spread out. Chapter 284 - 284 Protest 284 Protest Dong Xi immediately felt a little numb, but she endured it. She knew that the Big Snake was protesting. When they returned, Dong Xi had to ask what had happened back then. Dong Xi stood up and said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, I¡¯ll be going back first. See you tomorrow.¡± Unexpectedly, Song Qingfeng did not let Dong Xi go at all. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Don¡¯t give me that. Go back and start your closed-door cultivation. It hasn¡¯t been peaceful these few days. You can cultivate here. I don¡¯t have to be distracted to take care of you.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. No matter what she said, it was useless. In the end, Dong Xi could only agree. However, she brought her two Senior Brothers to cultivate in the courtyard for a night. !! She even took advantage of the time when the two of them cultivated you to use fire spiritual essence to wake up the Big Snake. ¡°You¡¯re ying dead now?¡± Dong Xi asked in his spiritual sea. ¡°You weren¡¯t so tired when you used lightning to shock me earlier.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s cold voice also sounded in her mind. He said, ¡°I need Exorcism Pills, and you¡¯re not selling them all to me? Are you going to refine more for me?¡± Dong Xi coldly snorted and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t even ask you. What¡¯s your rtionship with Love Smoke Tower? They are known as evil, and they are treating you like their master.¡± Su Cheng was silent for a long time. Dong Xi thought that Su Cheng had admitted it. Su Cheng said, ¡°If I am really that bloodthirsty, how do you think the cultivator who saw me survived?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then said, ¡°Could it be that the cultivator lied?¡± ¡°No,¡± Su Cheng said. Dong Xi was even more confused. Dong Xi said, ¡°What¡¯s going on then?¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that Su Cheng also felt the demonic Qi in Qinan City, so he took action to help the city. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s a step toote,¡± Su Cheng said. Su Cheng said it as if it was a pity, but his tone did not indicate it. An idea shed through Dong Xi¡¯s mind. She said, ¡°Toote? Then, the people from the Disha Sect saw it, so they mistakenly thought that Su Cheng killed everyone?¡± Su Cheng made a sound of agreement. Things were just so coincidental. Because Su Cheng had been in Love Smoke Tower all year round, his body was more or less contaminated with demonic Qi, so it made people misunderstand. When he came to the world of cultivators, he used spiritual energy to cultivate, but he soon found out that the demonic energy in his body that he was so proud of had be a burden. After thinking for a long time, Su Cheng decided to disperse his cultivation and re-cultivate. Su Cheng had to start from the Qi Refinement stage again. Although the difference in strength was huge, Su Cheng was determined, and his state of mind was excellent. It was like a well-dug pond that just needed to be filled with water. Therefore, Su Cheng¡¯s cultivation speed was not slow. Dong Xi did not even ask for confirmation and believed it. Dong Xi did not know that this was because the two of them had already signed the Contract of Equals. Two of their souls were bound by the Contract of Equals. If they lied, the other party would quickly find out. ¡°If that¡¯s the case,¡± Dong Xi sighed, ¡°this demon is really unlucky. He¡¯s been a scapegoat for hundreds of years.¡± Su Cheng did not care about this at all. If he did, he would have been dragged down by this reputation. ¡°From now on, you have to supply me with 20 batches of Exorcism Pills every month. Otherwise, don¡¯t call me if you have any trouble next time,¡± Su Cheng said. Dong Xi knew that she was in the wrong, so she did not haggle and immediately agreed. It was only 20 cauldrons. Even if Dong Xi did not have the time to refine them, she could still afford to buy them. After Su Cheng fell into a deep sleep, Dong Xi also cultivated quietly. At that moment, the eight great sects called for an emergency meeting at the Beast Trainer Sect. All the Sect Masters went. The people who came here to provide reinforcements only found out that the demonic beasts were the first to be infected by the demonic Qi. However, where did this demonic Qie from? Everyone immediately thought of Su Cheng. Two years ago, he failed to pass the Tribtion and no one knew where he was hiding. Could everything that happened today be Su Cheng¡¯s doing? The eight great Sect Masters spoke one after another. ¡°Destiny Valley, did you guys figure out where that guy is?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that he¡¯s at the Ningtian Sect?¡± ¡°Nonsense¡­ You came to investigate yourself, and did you find any trace of the Demon Lord at our Ningtian Sect?¡± ¡°Mo Han¡¯s calctions can¡¯t be wrong.¡± Wei Nan also knew how powerful Mo Han was. He frowned and said, ¡°I¡¯m not suspecting Daoist Master Mo Han, but you¡¯ve alsoe to investigate, and there¡¯s no trace of him at all. How can our Ningtian Sect be protecting the Demon Lord?¡± The Sect Master of the Flower Valley said, ¡°Could it be that Su Cheng ran away when Destiny Valley went to investigate? That giant snake was able to escape from the joint forces of our eight big sects, so it must have some ability. Moreover, Daoist Master Mo Han can only use one hexagram for divination every month, right?¡± When the others heard this, they thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s not impossible for Su Cheng to run to the Beast Trainer Sect!¡± someone said. Chapter 285 - 285 Can You Activate the Hexagram 285 Can You Activate the Hexagram Wei Nan insisted on thinking independently, not letting this group of people lead him astray. He looked at Master Tian Chen of Destiny Valley and said, ¡°Master Tian Chen, can Master Mo Han perform a divination this month?¡± Master Tian Chen took out hismunication jade slip and started to talk to Mo Han in front of everyone. After a short while, he sent a voice message and said, ¡°Uncle-Master, I¡¯ve already performed divination once this month.¡± The crowd was instantly a little disappointed, and even Master Tian Chen frowned. Soon after, he took out his astrbe and began calcting. !! Everyone looked at the astrbe, and as it flickered with light, everyone became nervous. But then, the light on the astrbe dimmed bit by bit, and everyone was very disappointed. ¡°Still nothing,¡± Tian Chen sighed. ¡°Tian Chen,¡± the Masked Moon Sect¡¯s Sect Master said from the side. ¡°Your ability to use the hexagram is not as good as your Martial Nephew¡¯s? ¡± Tian Chen said indifferently, ¡°Su Cheng was seriously injured before, but he still survived the Tribtion. Now, he has recovered for two years. There¡¯s a gap between our cultivation realms, so it¡¯s normal that I can¡¯t calcte and detect him. Mo Han can calcte it because of his talent, but he also overuses his body every time he starts a divination. Well, you can try it yourself.¡± Although the Sect Master of the Masked Moon Sect was a little disdainful, he could not afford to offend the diviners of the Destiny Valley, so he could only keep his mouth shut. After a discussion, they decided to temporarily seal off Beast Trainer Sect and wait until at least next month for Daoist master Mo Han to perform a divination and calcte the position of the Demon Lord. ¡°Tian Chen,¡± the Sect Master of the Masked Moon Sect said again. ¡°You¡¯d better tell Mo Han quickly. Don¡¯t let us waste a month¡¯s time in vain.¡± After receiving Mo Han¡¯s reply, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Han¡¯s monthly divinations were basically used on Dong Xi. It was easy for divination to go astray, and for them to reach a dead end. The more Dong Xi¡¯s fate was obscured, the more Mo Han wanted to see it. Even if he suffered a bacsh every time, Mo Han still continued to court death. It was only a month. It might be a long time for mortals, but a month was nothing for cultivators. He could use this time to clear all the demonic Qi of the sect disciples. Master Wu Wang of the Thunder Sound Temple also received Exorcism Pills from his sect and immediately gave them to his disciples. In the past five days, it was confirmed that all the participating disciples and demonic beasts had no more demonic Qi. Thunder Sound Temple announced that thepetition would continue. The information was still announced on the screen for everyone to check. After being locked up for more than half a month, everyone could finallye out for some fresh air. Dong Xi had been locked in her room by Second Senior Brother for half a month. After hearing the announcement, there was a knock on the door. Dong Xi opened the door and found Eldest Senior Brother at the door. Dong Xi looked curiously at Liang Yan, whose eyes were red, and said, ¡°Senior Brother, what¡¯s wrong? Why do you look so haggard?¡± Liang Yan did not say anything, using his actions to answer Dong Xi¡¯s questions. Liang Yan began to take out porcin bottles from his storage ring. Not only was Dong Xi surprised, Song Qingfeng was also very surprised. Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan had known each other for 200 years, but this was the first time he saw Liang Yan so diligent. ording to Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s current cultivation, even if he refined pills without rest, he would not be this tired. However, considering Liang Yan¡¯s current condition and the amount of pills he had, there was only one possibility. Eldest Senior Brother must have refined six furnaces of medicinal pills at the same time and used his divine sense to the limit. Liang Yan ced the pills on the table, filling it up. This light cough seemed somewhat familiar. At that time, Dong Xi seemed to have experienced the same thing. It had to be said that the Eldest Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister were bing more and more simr. In the past, whether it was alchemy or sword practice, the Eldest Senior Brother had never been so diligent. ¡°Everything¡¯s here, so pay up,¡± Liang Yan said. Although the Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s eyes were red, there was still excitement in his eyes. Song Qingfeng sighed when he saw this. This eldest Senior Brother who was above themon popce had finally lowered his head for the sake of money. If Liang Yan knew what Song Qingfeng was thinking, he would naturally refute him. What did he mean by lowering his head for money? Those were all spiritual stones, more than a thousand high-grade spiritual stones! If he could make some more, he would be able to pay off his debts. Thinking of this, Liang Yan decided that he could wait for a while to finish his swordsmanship. He would take advantage of the demonic Qi to settle all his debts. In another half a year, the debt collector woulde. Song Qingfeng gave the agreed reward to Liang Yan and even kindly gave the Eldest Senior Brother a Spirit-Nourishing Pill to replenish his spirit energy. Liang Yan did not ept it, but Song Qingfeng gave it to him anyway. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°The Thunder Sound Temple¡¯s Abbot said that thepetition will continue. Who knows when you¡¯ll go up to the ring? You should adjust your condition quickly, or you¡¯ll lose. How are you going to answer to the Sect Master and Master if you lose?¡± Chapter 286 - 286 It’s My Turn This Time 286 It¡¯s My Turn This Time Liang Yan fell silent. Thinking about how his Master had been nagging him for decades over this matter, Liang Yan immediately swallowed the pill. At this time, Dong Xi also impatiently said, ¡°It¡¯s my turn soon, right?¡± Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be your turn sooner orter.¡± !! Just as he finished speaking, Dong Xi received a message from Xiong Ye. [Junior Sister, you¡¯re on the big screen. Ring seven, and you¡¯re up for the third match.] Dong Xi saw the message and looked at Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, it¡¯s my turn. I¡¯ll go to the seventh arena now for the third match.¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s excitement, Song Qingfeng was worried that her Dao Heart would be affected if she lost the first round. Frowning, he thought for a moment and said, ¡°Little Junior Sister, I¡¯ll give you some protective items, okay?¡± Dong Xi shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Cultivators can¡¯t rely too much on treasures, and you can¡¯t rely on them for your entire life. There will always be times when they don¡¯t work.¡± Song Qingfeng said, ¡°There are times when treasures are useless. But your Second Senior Brother is useful. It¡¯s okay. Take it if you want it.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng with aplicated expression. Just as he was about to say something, Liang Yan said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, can you also be my Senior Brother?¡± Song Qingfeng did not say anything. Dong Xi blinked. She did not expect that even a serious person like the Eldest Senior Brother would start to go astray. The current Dong Xi was finding it increasingly difficult to link her Eldest Senior Brother to the person who had made Dong Rourou give her a quick death. She even suspected that it might have just been a dream. Song Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Liang Yan and said, ¡°You¡¯re already so old, and you still want to fight with Little Junior Sister? You should go and bring glory to our Ningtian sect. If you get a good ranking, when we go outter, no one will dare to look down on us.¡± Liang Yan was speechless. Who would dare to look down on the Young Master of the Song family? The disciple of Master Lingxu? ¡°That¡¯s right, Senior Brother, you have to work hard!¡± Dong Xi nodded. Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng had already gotten used to the strange words Dong Xi would say at any time, and they epted it quite well. After taking the pill, Liang Yan¡¯s mentality returned to normal. He nodded and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely work hard.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be able to go and cheer for you when Eldest Senior Brother enters the top 50,¡± said Dong Xi. Only then did the three of them head to the square. It was very lively here. The disciples who did not have a written examination were all frightened during this period of time. It was a good time to join in the fun. Dong Xi was short, so she was immediately drowned by the crowd when she entered the square. It was not until Second Senior Brother brought Dong Xi to the iron fan that Dong Xi could see the big screen clearly. On the screen, it showed that Dong Xi¡¯s opponent was fairy Hua Yun from the Hundred Flower Valley. Dong Xi was very happy. It was said that the Hundred Flower Valley was filled with beautiful fairies. She wondered if they were even more beautiful than Senior Sister Gu Yao. Moreover, Dong Xi still did not know what cultivation level this fairy was at or what cultivation technique she was using. It was better for her to find out from Senior Brother Xiong Ye. Dong Xi immediately took out hismunication jade slip and sent a message to Xiong Ye. [Senior Brother Xiong Ye, can you please help me find out more about this Hundred Flower Valley¡¯s Fairy? Her name is Hua Yun.] Not long after, Dong Xi received Xiong Ye¡¯s reply. The information was very detailed, and one could tell at a nce that senior Xiong Ye had researched and written it for a long time. [Hundred Flower Valley¡¯s Hua Yun, ninth level of Qi Refinement stage. Water, wood, metal spirit roots. Her magic tool is an Illusionary Spirit Umbre, hehe¡­ Don¡¯t worry, Junior Sister. I¡¯ve already asked around, but that¡¯s all I know so far. I hope I can help you.] Dong Xi looked at the message, and senior Xiong Ye¡¯s honest smile appeared in her mind. She was very touched, and Dong Xi immediately replied. [Thank you, Senior Brother. When I return to the sect in the future, I¡¯ll spar with you again.] Xiong Ye immediately replied. [Alright, I was waiting for you to say that.] Dong Xi kept the jade scroll and started to study the information about Fairy Hua Yun that Senior Brother Xiong Ye had sent. Fairy Hua Yun¡¯s cultivation realm was two levels higher than Dong Xi¡¯s, and she also had a Dharma artifact. With one look, one could tell that it was a mental-type attack. Furthermore, she had three spirit roots, but she represented the Hundred Flower Valley. Her strength was definitely not bad. At present, she could only see this much. She must have other trump cards. On the other side, after Fairy Hua Yun found out that Dong Xi was at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage. She did not waste any time inquiring about Dong Xi¡¯s information. Fairy Hua Yun said, ¡°She¡¯s only at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage. She¡¯s probably sent by the Ningtian Sect to make up the numbers. A few days ago, the Green Cloud Sect attacked the disciples of the Ningtian Sect. Many people were affected. It¡¯s normal that they don¡¯t have enough disciples.¡± Opposite her was Hundred Flower Valley¡¯s Senior Sister, Hua Xiang. Hua Xiang frowned and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you can¡¯t underestimate your enemy like this. This person is young, which means she¡¯s a new disciple in the Ningtian Sect. In just two years, she¡¯s reached such a cultivation level, and she has three spiritual roots. She must have had some secrets. No matter how bad the Ningtian Sect is, those senior disciples can¡¯t be inferior to such a neer. In my opinion, this Dong Xi might have some treasure!¡± Chapter 287 - 287 Crooked Ways 287 Crooked Ways Fairy Hua Yun did not mind at all. She smiled and said, ¡°Senior Sister, you¡¯re right. For a new disciple to cultivate so quickly, it¡¯s possible that she¡¯s using some crooked ways and has an unstable foundation. I also have three spirit roots, so I¡¯m very clear about my cultivation speed. Moreover, I¡¯ve been cultivating for 40 years. I can¡¯t possibly lose to a little girl who has only been cultivating for 2 years.¡± Seeing that her Senior Sister was about to say something, Fairy Hua Yun immediately continued, ¡°Senior Sister, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m confident. If this little guy really has some treasure, I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Hearing her Junior Sister¡¯s words, Hua Xiang nodded, but still said worriedly, ¡°Our sect is different from other sects. Our Hundred Flower Valley uses a points system. The more victories you win this time, the more resources you¡¯ll get when you return. Junior Sister, you¡¯re already in your forties, so you should return as soon as possible to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.¡± If one had not reached the Foundation Establishment stage at age 40, it would be consideredte. It would be impossible to reach the Golden Core stage in this lifetime. Furthermore, Fairy Hua Yun¡¯s participation in thepetition this time had already been questioned by the sect¡¯s people. If she won too little, when she returned to the sect, the original resources would also be divided up by others. At that time¡­ It was unlikely that she would even reach Foundation Establishment. Fairy Hua Yun also had some good fortune and had a few treasures with her. These were also her trump cards. Fairy Hua Xiang was trying to persuade her. A few decades ago, Fairy Hua Yun had found a cultivation technique by chance as she stumbled into a cave. If other cultivators did not reach the Foundation Establishment stage after 30, they would have no hope of reaching the Golden Core stage. However, Fairy Hua Yun consumed a lot of spiritual energy to temper her meridians, so her cultivation speed was very slow. There was also a hint on her cultivation technique that she only needed to build her Foundation before the age of 50. Because of her special cultivation technique and treasures, Fairy Hua Yun did not think much of Dong Xi, who was at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage. The second match on the 7th arena had already ended. The sect¡¯s Senior Sister at the scene informed Hua Yun, and only then did Fairy Hua Yun rush over to the arena. Dong Xi stood below and saw Hua Yun in a pink dressing from the air. Dong Xi could not help but sigh in her heart. She had really put on an act¡­ This appearance was really like a fairy descending to the mortal world, but Qi Refinement stage cultivators could not walk in the air at all. Some could not even ride a sword and fly. This time, Fairy Hua Yun waspletely relying on her movement technique. However, this act¡­ She would definitely have to pay the price of spiritual energy. They had not even started thepetition yet, and this woman was already wasting spiritual energy. This was really too unreliable. Just as Fairy Hua Yun was about to walk onto the stage, the flower umbre in her hand scattered many petals. Hua Yun turned around and showed her beauty. The surrounding crowd immediately gasped in admiration. Dong Xi did not want to go up at this time and let otherspare her to Fairy Hua Yun. She obediently waited for the 15 minutes to end before climbing up the stage. Compared to Fairy Hua Yun¡¯s way of appearing, Dong Xi¡¯s way of appearing was indeed a little ugly, and boos came from below. In addition to Dong Xi¡¯s Green dress, red boots, and the yellow defensive talisman on her head, there was noparison at all between her and Hua Yun. Fairy Hua Yun looked at Dong Xi, who was opposite her. Hua Yun was stunned for a moment. Previously, when she heard that Dong Xi was only 12 years old, Hua Yun had thought that he would be a tender and cute girl. But now, she saw a girl in front of her who was a little shorter than her and dressed weirdly. She was too different from what Hua Yun had imagined. Dong Xi did not want toe out like this either, but Senior Brother Xiong Ye had just sent a message saying that someone had started a bet, and the odds were 1 to 42! Senior Xiong Ye also sent a voice message. Xiong Ye said, ¡°Junior Sister, I¡¯ll help you ce a bet of 30 lower spirit stones. Whether we can make a profit or not depends on your fight.¡± When Dong Xi heard the news, she frowned. He bet only 30 spirit stones? There¡¯s not much to earn from this, right? It was true. Everyone knew that the disciples of the Sword Sect did not have much money. Before Dong Xi went up the stage, he secretly bet 1,000 high-grade spirit stones on herself and changed the odds to 1:27. Dong Xi listened to the crowd¡¯s analysis of her chances of losing, and even said that Dong Xi was almost certain to lose the battle. Dong Xi gritted her teeth and took out all her equipment. She would also make those who looked down on her pay the price. ¡°You¡¯re Dong Xi?¡± asked Hua Yun. ¡°That¡¯s right, please give me some pointers, Fairy Hua Yun,¡± Dong Xi saluted. Hua Yun smiled and said, ¡°I see that your attitude is quite good. I will definitely give you some guidanceter. You are still young. If you lose, don¡¯t cry.¡± Dong Xi looked at Hua Yun. Dong Xi said, ¡°Fairy, there¡¯s a saying that I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯ve heard of?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the saying?¡± Hua Yun asked, furrowing her brows. Chapter 288 - 288 The Villain Dies from Talking Too Much 288 The Viin Dies from Talking Too Much Dong Xi still had the appearance of an obedient little girl, but her words were as infuriating as they could get. Dong Xi said, ¡°Fairy, don¡¯t you know? Viins die because they talk too much. The one who speaks first may not have thestugh.¡± Hua Yun¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. She said, ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see who will have thestugh.¡± Right after that, the flower umbre in Hua Yun¡¯s hand attacked Dong Xi. Dong Xi did not know what kind of attack this umbre had, so she naturally could not take it head-on. !! Dong Xi held her sword in one hand and quickly made a hand seal with her other hand, covering herself with an earthen yellow shield. The moment the flower umbre was put on, it stopped, then opened and started to spin. Dong Xi watched as the flower umbre turned from one to two, and then to four. Dong Xi seemed to have recalled something and immediately closed her eyes. If she fell for the illusion at this time, then she would bel like a sitting duck. In the face of a spiritual attack, all the physical defenses that Dong Xi had prepared were useless. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were closed. The wind around her flowed along with the spiritual Qi, and a clear picture of the arena was outlined in her mind. ¡°Fireball,¡± said Dong Xi as she raised her hand. The fireball flew urately toward the flower umbre. Hua Yun¡¯s expression changed instantly. She immediately waved her hand and threw out a ball of water vapor to block it. It had been many years since she had seen someone use such a low-level attack like a fireball. As expected, she was a little girl who had just entered the sect. She only knew basic attacking methods. Dong Xi immediately formed a hand seal, and the flying fireball began to split into two, then four, spinning in the air. Hua Yun¡¯s expression turned even uglier. This little girl, if she had the ability, then she should close her eyes forever. Hua Yun retracted her flower umbre, which instantly turned into a deadly weapon, and sheunched an attack at Dong Xi. The moment Hua Yun approached, Dong Xi immediately opened her eyes and looked at Hua Yun. Dong Xi said, ¡°Fairy, didn¡¯t anyone tell you in the past to never get close to sword cultivators?¡± After saying that, the sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand had already stabbed out. The first move that she had practiced countless times immediately wrapped around Hua Yun. Hua Yun¡¯s reaction was very fast. She opened her flower umbre instantly, and there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy on the umbre. Dong Xi¡¯s first move had been blocked. It seemed that this umbre was not of a low grade. Dong Xi naturally did not think that she could win in one strike. If she really won, it could only be said that her opponent was a pushover. As soon as Dong Xi moved and raised HER foot, spirit nts appeared where She had been standing. It seemed that fairy Hua Yun wasn¡¯t brainless. At least, in that instant, Hua Yun had nted a seed under Dong Xi¡¯s feet. Dong Xi dodged it with her boots on, and with a swing of her sword, she destroyed more than half of the spirit nts. The crowd below the stage did not expect that Dong Xi would actually be able to put up a fight against Fairy Hua Yun. Everyone looked at the two figures on the stage. ¡°The Hundred Flower Valley¡¯s movement technique is truly impressive, but I didn¡¯t expect the Ningtian Sect¡¯s movement technique to be so impressive as well,¡± someone said with a sigh. ¡°The founder of the Ningtian Sect is very good at body movement,¡± the person beside him said with a smile. ¡°Everyone knows that.¡± The person who spoke at the start said doubtfully, ¡°Eh? Wasn¡¯t the technique already lost? If the movement and sword skills of the Founding Master of the Ningtian Sect could be passed down, the Ningtian Sect wouldn¡¯t have allowed the Green Cloud Sect to surpass them and take the number one spot.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± asked one of the disciples. ¡°Are you trying to insult our Green Cloud Sect?¡± ¡°What? We can¡¯t say it just because you don¡¯t like it?¡± the man immediately retorted. ¡°We all know what your sect has done, so it¡¯s not too much for us to join forces to ostracize you!¡± ¡­ When Dong Xi and Hua Yunpeted in body techniques and spell techniques, Dong Xi¡¯s sword technique could not break Hua Yun¡¯s defense, and Hua Yun¡¯s spell technique could not hurt Dong Xi either. Dong Xi was so tired that she was panting, but she felt very happy in her heart. Dong Xi was not afraid of losing. She had used the first two moves of her Sword Art, but there were still two moves that she had not used! At this moment, Hua Yun¡¯s expression turned serious. It had to be said that Hua Yun underestimated her opponent at the beginning. Dong Xi was very strong. However, this wasn¡¯t enough. Hua Yun hadn¡¯t used her trump card yet, so Dong Xi definitely could not win. The battle between the two had been going on for almost an hour. Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation level was only at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage, so her spiritual Qi should be almost exhausted, right? However, Dong Xi fought with Hua Yun for another 15 minutes. Hua Yun solemnly threw the flower umbre into the sky and suspended it above her head. Hua Yun quickly formed hand seals, and a ball of energy fluctuations formed in her hands. ¡°It¡¯s the Smiling Flower move,¡± someone immediately shouted from below the ring. This technique was the ultimate technique of Hundred Flower Valley. He did not expect that this not-so-famous Fairy Hua Yun would be able to use it. Dong Xi felt the energy fluctuation in Hua Yun¡¯s hand and also started to gather strength, preparing to use the third move of her Sword Art. Hua Yun¡¯s perception of the power of heaven and earth was stronger than that of ordinary people. Hua Yun was using her own spiritual Qi to support the Smiling Flower skill. However, Dong Xi had taken the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth for her own use as she prepared for her next move. Chapter 289 - 289 She Is a Pill Cultivator 289 She Is a Pill Cultivator The two of them attacked at the same time, and their spells and swords collided with great power. Dong Xi¡¯s skirt emitted bursts of light, blocking part of the impact. The remaining force circted a few times in Dong Xi¡¯s body before beingpletely absorbed by her. Looking at Fairy Hua Yun again, the flower umbre that was originally floating in the sky had a broken corner. Hua Yun¡¯s face was a little pale and there was not much spiritual energy left in her body. The power of Dong Xi¡¯s sword surprised everyone. What was even more surprising was that Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual power was so deep. Fairy Hua Yun was two levels higher than Dong Xi, so she could not use this move as she wished. From the beginning to the end, Dong Xi had not taken any medicinal pills. It was truly strange that she could still be in high spirits after using such a sword technique. The recovery of Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual Qi was very slow. Even with the mini spirit gathering formation prepared by the Big Snake, it was not of much use during the day. Dong Xi clearly knew that she did not have much spiritual energy in his body. However, it did not matter. As an alchemist who had just entered the sect, she had many Spirit Restore Pills, all of which were of the highest quality. In front of everyone, Dong Xi took out the Spirit Restore Pill and ate it. When Fairy Hua Yun saw Dong Xi taking the pill, she also immediately took it. The crowd below the stage said enviously. ¡°Taking a pill in the first round, how extravagant.¡± ¡°No one would have thought that the gap between the two of them would be so huge. They actually fought for so long. If they didn¡¯t take any pills, they probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter the second round.¡± ¡°Thepetition this time will be much more difficult than the past. We have to be more careful from now on.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi looked at Hua Yun opposite him. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Fairy Hua Yun, I¡¯ve taken so many of your attacks. This time, it¡¯s your turn to take mine.¡± Hua Yun¡¯s expression changed slightly. Dong Xi¡¯s sword style changed and she used the fourth style. Fairy Hua Yun immediately tried to control the flower umbre to block, but she failed a few times. The flower umbre remained on the ground, unmoving. Hua Yun¡¯s eyes widened. She realized that a vine had wrapped around the flower umbre. If she remembered correctly, the spirit nts on the ground were all nted by Hua Yun herself previously. Why were the nts going against herself? When Dong Xi saw Hua Yun¡¯s reaction, she smiled very happily. Dong Xi said, ¡°The spirit nts that you nted aren¡¯t obeying you. Are you angry?¡± Low-level spirit nts did not have a mind of their own, so whoever had the stronger wood spiritual energy would naturally be able to control them. Dong Xi also did not expect that Fairy Hua Yun¡¯s Wood spiritual energy would be so weak. It was likely that fairy Hua Yun¡¯s Wood spirit roots weren¡¯t that good either. Of course, Hua Yun was angry, but she could not bicker now. Hua Yun looked at the sword attacking at her. If she gave up on resisting, not only would she be heavily injured, but she would also be sent flying. By then, she would lose. Hua Yun was very vexed. She also admitted in her heart that Dong Xi was very strong, so strong that Hua Yun did not expect that she would have to use her trump card in the first round. Hua Yun bit her lip and took out a golden brick with an ugly expression. That¡¯s right, it was a gold brick. It was shining. This gold brick rapidly grew in Hua Yun¡¯s hand, and then she threw it at Dong Xi¡¯s sword technique. It instantly shattered the sword technique, and even the ring¡¯s protective barrier was affected. Thismotion immediately attracted the attention of many people. Even a few Elders from the sects looked over. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s swordsmanship, the Green Cloud Sect¡¯s Daoist Master Huai Li¡¯s expression became subtle. Back then, Daoist Yijian used this sword technique to trample on the Green Cloud Sect¡¯s face. It seemed that the girl in the seventh ring was Daoist Yijian¡¯s disciple. Daoist Master Huai Li transmitted his voice to the sect¡¯s disciples, telling them that if they were to meet this Dong Xi, they would have to teach her a lesson. A portion of the disciples did not take it seriously. Perhaps Dong Xi would lose thispetition. However, Daoist Huai Li knew that the oue of this match had already been decided. Dong Xi would definitely win. The disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley had no more spiritual energy. It was too difficult for an ordinary cultivator without spiritual energy to win against a sword cultivator. Although Hua Yun managed to block the attack, her face turned even paler. Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s expression, the audience was also very curious. ¡°Why?¡± one of them could not help but ask, ¡°Both of them have taken medicinal pills, so why does Dong Xi still have spiritual Qi, while Hua Yun doesn¡¯t?¡± A disciple from the Ningtian Sect said arrogantly, ¡°You guys don¡¯t know? Our Junior Sister Dong Xi is a pill cultivator!¡± Someone said in shock, ¡°A pill cultivator? But this move of hers, shouldn¡¯t she be a sword cultivator?¡± Of course, the disciples of the Ningtian Sect would not let go of such an opportunity to gain face. They immediately told everyone that Dong Xi was a dual cultivator of sword and alchemy, and she was quite good at both of them. She could already perfectly refine the Spirit Restore Pill. Although the speaker¡¯s tone was calm, everyone was shocked. Perfect pill refinement? Didn¡¯t that mean that Dong Xi had eaten a top-grade Spirit Restore Pill? Chapter 290 - 290 A Fantasy 290 A Fantasy Dong Xi had a lot of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills in her hands. It was simply impossible to exhaust Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual energy. The only exception was if she encountered an opponent with crushing strength, otherwise, it was simply a fantasy. The expressions of everyone from the Hundred Flower Valley instantly turned ugly. Could it be that Hua Yun really could not hold on? The gold brick in Hua Yun¡¯s hand was considered her trump card. If she did not have any more treasures, she would definitely lose. Dong Xi watched as Hua Yun ate the Spirit Restore Pill again. She did not attack and put away the sword in her hand. !! Dong Xi¡¯s hands began to form seals. When the people from Hundred Flower Valley saw this, they all felt that it was very familiar. As the spiritual power in Dong Xi¡¯s hands increased, someone immediately said in shock, ¡°This one looks like Smiling Flower from the Hundred Flower Valley!¡± When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately looked over and started talking. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s simr, but it¡¯s also different.¡± ¡°Where did this girl learn this? Did she just learn it?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this a little too exaggerated? She only saw the hand seals and she can imitate them?¡± Of course, it was not that simple. Dong Xi had only sensed the direction of the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and had a sudden inspiration. She felt that if hemunicated with the spiritual Qi ording to this direction, there might be a good result. She just wanted to try it out. It turned out to be really good. Dong Xi pushed the spiritual energy ball out. Facing this imitation of the Smiling Flower skill, Hua Yun was no longer as calm as she was at the beginning. She raised the gold brick in her hand in a panic. Dong Xi¡¯s move disturbed Hua Yun¡¯s state of mind. How could this be? How did this girl know the sect¡¯s secret technique? Before Hua Yun could figure it out, she saw the flower umbre on the ground fly up and turn into two, four¡­ They were like blooming flowers, mesmerizing one¡¯s mind. Hua Yun instantly became like a marite,pletely frozen on the spot. There was only one thought in her heart ¡ª Ningtian Sect¡¯s Dong Xi was too evil. Hua Yun controlled the water spiritual energ to sweep across her eyes and instantly woke up. Although the moves used by Dong Xi were somewhat different from Hua Yun¡¯s moves, they were generally simr, and their effects were the same. Although Hua Yun did not know how Dong Xi could replicate her spell technique, she knew that if she did not fight back, she would be exhausted to death by Dong Xi. That girl was only at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage! Hua Yun raised her hand and called back the golden brick in the air. This golden brick was different from the flower umbre. It was Hua Yun¡¯s natal treasure and had already been partially refined. It would definitely not be snatched by Dong Xi. Hua Yun kept on striking the gold brick with her hand seals. The gold brick gradually expanded to the size of a fighting ring. Hua Yun waved her hand, and a huge gold brick smashed toward Dong Xi. The crowd below the stage also became nervous. Such arge gold brick, Dong Xi had no ce to hide. How would Dong Xi resist? Or should she just jump down from the ring and admit defeat? Dong Xi looked at the gold brick above her head, thinking that this thing was really useful. The owner could just smash anyone they didn¡¯t like. Of course, Fairy Hua Yun probably didn¡¯t like her either. Seeing the golden brick getting closer and closer, Dong Xi¡¯s feet moved as if she had taken a step, but he disappeared on the spot. After watching for a long time, they found that Dong Xi had actuallye to Fairy Hua Yun¡¯s side and directly swung the sword in her hand. Fairy Hua Yun reacted quickly and immediately activated a protective barrier, retreating. However, Dong Xi was even faster and was riding on Hua Yun¡¯s head in an instant. Hua Yun was extremely angry and said with a face full of anger, ¡°Get down here.¡± Dong Xi put away the long sword in her hand and reached out to grab Hua Yun¡¯s ear. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m not going down. I¡¯ll lose if I go down. I don¡¯t believe that your gold brick can attack with such precision. In other words, you¡¯ll hit us both.¡± Even after a long time, the gold brick still did not fall. Hua Yun had no way of getting Dong Xi down. Dong Xi¡¯s defense was like a turtle shell. Hua Yun only had an ordinary small dagger on her. When Hua Yun¡¯s spiritual energy was exhausted, the gold brick could no longer be maintained and returned to its original form and fell to the ground. Only then did Dong Xie down from Hua Yun¡¯s head with a smile. Dong Xi cupped her fists and bowed, saying with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Senior Sister Hua Yun, for saving my life.¡± Hua Yun was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood. Dong Xi immediately took out a Vitality Reinforcement Pill and handed it to Hua Yun. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, take care of your body. I didn¡¯t hurt you, so why did you vomit blood? Don¡¯t tell me he suffered internal injuries.¡± Hua Yun really wanted to say that this was all because she was angered by Dong Xi. However, Hua Yun opened her mouth and blood spurted out again. Hua Yun was not pretentious. She took the pill from Dong Xi and ate it. Hua Yun said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re really capable.¡± Dong Xi humbly said, ¡°I¡¯m learning from Senior Sister.¡± Hua Yun¡¯s face was cold. She put away the flower umbre and gold brick, turned around, and jumped down from the ring. Chapter 291 - 291 Afraid of Being Angered to Death 291 Afraid of Being Angered to Death Fairy Hua Yun did not want to continue talking to Dong Xi. She was afraid of being angered to death. After Hua Yun left, the people from Hundred Flower Valley also hurriedly left. The arena was silent for a moment before deafening cheers erupted. The disciples of the Ningtian Sect were the loudest. Apart from Dong Xi, who was a disciple of the Ningtian Sect, the rest of the people were cheering because most of them bet a few spirit stones on Dong Xi¡­ !! Therefore, these people¡¯s cheers were the most genuine, and those who ced their bets all started talking. ¡°If I knew this would happen, I would have bet more!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not the only one who¡¯s regretting it. I regret it too! I only bet five low-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote for you to regret not believing in Dong Xi.¡± ¡°So, you¡¯ve ced a lot of bets?¡± ¡°Not much, just two middle-grade spirit stones. I made a little bit of money.¡± ¡­ There were all sorts ofments. In fact, when everyone ced their bets, they did not expect Dong Xi to win. No matter how powerful Dong Xi was, her cultivation level was still low. She was at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage, and even in the Ningtian Sect sect, she had onlye to participate in thepetition because he was ranked 100th. Among all the disciples who came to participate in thepetition, Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation was amongst the weakest. Dong Xi¡¯s victory was aplete surprise. The odds were 1 to 27, and this allowed people who ced bets on her to earn some money. Someone suddenly thought of something and immediately said, ¡°That¡¯s not right. When I ced my bet, I remember it was 1 to 42. How did it be 1 to 27? What kind of ruthless person was she to have such foresight?¡± Dong Xi smiled faintly and left the arena without showing off. She immediately went to collect the money. Dong Xi ran to the ce where he ced the bet and saw Xiong Ye there. Xiong Ye happily gave over 100 low-grade spirit stones to Dong Xi. Xiong Ye said, ¡°Junior Sister, look, so many of them are yours.¡± As Xiong Ye spoke, he did not forget to count. Xiong Ye happily continued, ¡°Junior sister, can you still win the next round? I¡¯ll continue to bet on you.¡± Dong Xi did not dare to speak blindly. After all, she did not even know who ger next opponent would be, so she did not dare to say anything. ¡°Senior Brother, with my cultivation level, it¡¯s already an opportunity for me to win one round. If I encounter someone above the tenth level of Qi Refinement stage in the second round¡­¡± Xiong Ye understood and helplessly said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t feel pressured. Next time, I¡¯ll bet five low-grade spirit stones. It doesn¡¯t matter if I win or lose.¡± Dong Xi nodded. This was for the best. Small gambles were good for lifting the mood, while big gambles were dangerous. If her Senior Brother rashly ced a big bet and lost¡­ Forget spirit stones, he might have to pay with his precious treasured sword. As the two of them were chatting, a familiar voice said from behind, ¡°What are you guys doing?¡± Dong Xi turned around and saw that it was his Eldest Senior Brother Liang Yan, who was staring at the two of them as if they had done something dirty. ¡°Junior Sister, I¡¯ll take my leave first. It¡¯ll be my turn to go up the stage in a while,¡± Xiong Ye immediately said. Dong Xi looked at the light screen not far away. Xiong Ye still had five more matches. Why was he in such a hurry? It was obvious that he was running away. Dong Xi sighed in his heart. She turned around and said with a careful look, ¡°E-Eldest Senior Brother.¡± Liang Yan immediately saw through Dong Xi. He said, ¡°Stop pretending. Just tell me. I won¡¯t fall for your tricks.¡± Dong Xi was silent for a moment and started to think. Eldest Senior Brother was also like this, right? Did he change too quickly? Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s thoughtful look, Liang Yan said, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, I¡¯ll go and tell Song Qingfeng in a bit.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. If Second Senior Brother knew that Dong Xi had shamelessly ced a bet on herself, wouldn¡¯t he ridicule her to death? Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Please don¡¯t, Eldest Senior Brother. If you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you need to snitch on us? Second Senior Brother¡¯s cultivation is already so difficult. There¡¯s no need to tell him about such a small matter.¡± A hint of impatience shed across Liang Yan¡¯s face, but his eyes glowed as he said, ¡°Then hurry up and say it.¡± If he did not hear wrongly, Dong Xi and Xiong Ye were talking about some spirit stones¡­ Dong Xi sighed helplessly and told him about how someone had ced a bet on her, and how she earned a portion of spirit stones. When Liang Yan heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he immediately became excited. Liang Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t even know there were such practices.¡± Dong Xi waved her hand and said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, you¡¯ve been working hard in your cultivation. You rarely pay attention to the outside world. It¡¯s normal for you to not know about such things. It was Senior Brother Xiong Ye who told me about it.¡± ¡°Where can I ce a bet?¡± Liang Yan asked. Dong Xi was just about to go collect the spirit stones. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, follow me. We¡¯ll be there in a moment.¡± Chapter 292 - 292 The Gap Is So Huge 292 The Gap Is So Huge The ce to ce the bet was in a room near the light screen, and no one knew who created this room. Liang Yan had a match today as well. He had wanted to ce a bet on himself, but when he saw the odds: 38,861 to 1¡­ There was no need to ce any bets. There were so many people betting on Liang Yan¡¯s victory, so what was the point of betting? No matter how many spirit stones he gambled, he would not win much. !! Liang Yan frowned and looked at Song Qingfeng¡¯s betting odds: 51,388 to 1¡­ This was even more than Liang Yan. How could these people be so sure that Song Qingfeng could win? Could it be that Song Qingfeng had already revealed his trump card? No, ording to Song Qingfeng¡¯s wealth, he would not have the same magic weapon even if he changed one every day. Have the people who ced their bets gone crazy? They knew that they could not win much, but they still bet on Song Qingfeng? Eldest Senior Brother was too innocent and did not know many things. In this world, there were many people who were good-looking. People were willing to spend money on good-looking people, and this gave them happiness. There were not many opportunities to spend money on such¡­ High-profile men. Dong Xi had also seen the wagers on her two Senior Brothers. Once she saw it, she was taken aback, and she was extremely envious. The difference was so huge. Dong Xi thought that it was a little embarrassing for her to have odds of 1 to 27. However, it did not matter. Dong Xi could just cry secretly. In the next moment, when the cultivator paid off all the spirit stones that Dong Xi had won¡­ Dong Xi¡¯s mood was instantly healed by the spirit stones. From the pile of spirit stones that Dong Xi had received, Liang Yan could see that there were high-grade spirit stones among them. He immediately frowned. Liang Yan was indeed envious, but he could not say it out loud. Who would have known that Liang Yan had managed to earn 1,000 high-grade spirit stones just by refining six batches of pills at the same time and working for such a long time? No one knew how hard it had been for him. On the other hand, his Junior Sister had earned so many spirit stones so easily. If Dong Xi knew what Eldest Senior Brother was thinking, she would definitely tell him the difference between capitalists and workers. Liang Yan shifted his gaze away with great difficulty. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, ¡°Junior Sister, are the odds very high?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was a little embarrassed as she said, ¡°Only 1 to 2¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you one more chance,¡± said Liang Yan. ¡°1 to 27,¡± said Dong Xi with a serious face. Liang Yan was speechless. No wonder she could earn so much. These people had been deceived by Little Junior Sister. Little Junior Sister was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger! When the two of them left, Liang Yan suddenly said, ¡°Next time, when you ce a bet for yourself, help me ce a bet too.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to win. You know my strength. The next time I meet someone stronger, I might not win¡­ If we¡¯re not confident, we can¡¯t bet rashly, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re trying to make a fortune in secret,¡± said Liang Yan. Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi was just about to retort when Liang Yan continued, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, who was the one who said that we¡¯ll definitely win two rounds?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi did not know how to answer Liang Yan¡¯s question. She could only sigh and say, ¡°Fine, I will fight to the death.¡± ¡°Well, you don¡¯t need to risk your life, ¡± Liang Yan said. ¡°But it¡¯s normal for cultivation to be a little bumpy. Do you still have the Soul-Amassing Lamp that the sect borrowed? I will be sure to capture your soul even if you die.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi could not take it anymore. She knew that all the good things about her Eldest Senior Brother were fake. When faced with spirit stones, her Eldest Senior Brother was heartless! As if he could feel Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts, Liang Yan¡¯s lips curled up. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t risk your life, just use all your strength.¡± Just as the two were about to leave, Song Qingfeng suddenly appeared and said, ¡°Ah, it seems like you won a lot?¡± Dong Xi had already put away the spirit stones, so how did Second Senior Brother know that Dong Xi had won a lot? Dong Xi blinked her eyes and wanted to fool him. She said, ¡°It¡¯s not much, it¡¯s a small matter.¡± Song Qingfeng could not help but smile. He said, ¡°You think you can fool me like this?¡± Dong Xi wanted to continue resisting, but she suddenly thought of something and looked at Second Senior Brother in shock. Dong Xi said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, you¡­ Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re the banker behind this betting operation?¡± Song Qingfeng waved the fan in his hand and nodded. ¡°Not bad, you have good eyes.¡± Dong Xi suddenly felt a sense of defeat. She should have known that someone had started a betting den in the Ningtian Sect and Thunder Sound Temple. Other than Second Senior Brother, who else could do this? No wonder Second Senior Brother¡¯s family was so rich. With Second Senior Brother¡¯s brain, the others could only follow behind him and pick up some scraps to eat. If Second Senior Brother had lived for a few more centuries, his wealth would have gotten astronomical¡­ Chapter 293 - 293 Eat Meat and Drink Soup 293 Eat Meat and Drink Soup Dong Xi¡¯s eyes became more determined when she thought about how powerful her Second Senior Brother was. Dong Xi decided that in the future, she would tightly hug onto Second Senior Brother¡¯s thigh so that she could eat free meat, drink soup, and live a well-off life. Just thinking about it made her feel that the future was promising. Liang Yan looked at the proud Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°So many people bet on you? You didn¡¯t fake the bet yourself, right?¡± Song Qingfeng immediately said with dissatisfaction, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re just using your own yardstick to measure the heart of a gentleman. In your eyes, is your Junior Brother that kind of person?¡± !! Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and did not say a word. But his eyes seemed to be saying that Song Qingfeng could do such a thing for publicity. Song Qingfeng was speechless and said helplessly, ¡°Everyone wants to catch a big fish with a small one, so can you me me for taking advantage of the situation? Why should I push myself into the eye of the storm? With so many people cing their bets, all I can say is that¡­ I¡¯m too popr.¡± Liang Yan stood on the spot and fell into deep thought. ¡°Senior Brothers, do you want to take a break?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Two Senior Brothers still have apetitionter, right? After your rest, you two will bring glory to the sect!¡± Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan both agreed and the three of them walked toward the room. Song Qingfeng said as he walked, ¡°I was worried that your cultivation realm was unstable and your spiritual energy was not strong enough. I didn¡¯t expect your cultivation to be so great. You can even fight those above your cultivation realm.¡± Dong Xi received the praise, and her face was full of smiles. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re speaking as if you¡¯ve seen it with your own eyes.¡± Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I did see it.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Song Qingfeng. Liang Yan also looked at Song Qingfeng in surprise. Dong Xi said, ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that before the top 50, the disciples of each cultivation realm can¡¯t watch thepetition of other cultivation realms?¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s the rule,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. ¡°But I have a good rtionship with the Thunder Sound Temple¡¯s Abbot.¡± It was not out of the question to curry favor with important people. It was not too much for Song Qingfeng to give a bottle of pills to watch his Junior Sister¡¯s match. Dong Xi and Liang Yan were shocked at how many friends Song Qingfeng had. Why were there people who were close to Song Qingfeng everywhere? After returning to the meditation room, both Song Qingfeng and Liang Yan had gone to thepetition in the afternoon. Dong Xi could not go and watch, so he simply did not go out. ording to the two Senior Brothers¡¯ terrifying betting odds, even if they won, she would not get many spirit stones, so why bother? Dong Xi obediently woke the snake up and continued to use the power of lightning to temper her body. ¡°You can¡¯t be thinking that you can keep using it just because you absorbed that little bit of lightning power, right?¡± Su Cheng said after waking up. Dong Xi said in surprise, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me¡­ It¡¯s gone?¡± Su Cheng nodded. ording to Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation intensity, that bit of lightning power was long gone. Dong Xi sighed and stood up. ¡°In that case¡­ I¡¯ll have to make a trip out.¡± Su Cheng thought that Dong Xi had found a treasure with the power of lightning, but he did not expect that Dong Xi would enter another courtyard while casually strolling around Thunder Sound Temple. She happened to run into a disciple, who was wearing the uniform of the Earth Fiend Hall. Dong Xi immediately stepped forward and stopped the man. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, I would like to ask if the disciples of the Earth Fiend Hall live here?¡± The disciple looked at the uniform of the Ningtian Sect that Dong Xi was wearing and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Who are you looking for?¡± Dong Xi smiled and took out a small bottle of Spirit Restore Pill. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, I have something to ask. Are there any people with lightning spirit roots among you?¡± The disciple immediately said, ¡°There is.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately said, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Our Thunder Grandmaster is one of them,¡± the disciple replied. Dong Xi was speechless. Your Grandmaster? How could Dong Xi possibly defeat him? With a casual wave of the Old Grandmaster¡¯s hand, Dong Xi would not even be able to move a muscle. She would immediately turn into ashes. ¡°Are there any among the disciples?¡± asked Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s well-behaved appearance made it impossible for others to realize that she was up to no good. The Earth Fiend Hall disciple pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°Yes, Senior Brother Baili and Junior Brother Qian Yun have lightning spirit roots.¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment. Her Senior Brother¡¯s cultivation should not be low, so it should not be a bad idea to look for he Junior Brother. Dong Xi said, ¡°Qian Yun¡­ What¡¯s his cultivation level?¡± When the disciple from the Earth Fiend Hall heard this question, he immediately became alert and returned the Spirit Restore Pill to Dong Xi. The disciple then said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to hear about our Junior brother¡¯s strength? Aren¡¯t you two fighting in thepetition? Are you trying to extract information from me? You little girl, you don¡¯t look very old, but you¡¯re quite scheming.¡± Chapter 294 - 294 A Spar 294 A Spar Dong Xi immediately exined, ¡°Senior Brother, no, no. I¡¯ve never seen a lightning spirit root before. I came here to have a spar. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t beat someone with a lightning spirit root¡­ Just tell me if Daoist Qian Yun is in the Qi Refinement stage or Foundation Establishment stage.¡± ¡°The Qi Refinement stage,¡± the man replied. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Qi Refinement was fine, she could still exchange pointers. Dong Xi once again stuffed the Spirit Restore Pill into this man¡¯s hand. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble Senior Brother to help me pass on a message. Tell him that Dong Xi of the Ningtian Sect wishes to spar with fellow Daoist Qian Yun.¡± !! The disciple from the earth fiend Pce took a few nces at Dong Xi before turning around and entering the courtyard. Dong Xi did not realize the seriousness of the matter until a very loud voice said, ¡°Qian Yun, your admirer is outside. She wants to see you.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°???¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened, and she really wanted to rush in and cover that person¡¯s mouth. However, unexpectedly, the man continued to shout, ¡°It¡¯s Dong Xi from the Ningtian Sect. The little girl said she wanted to spar with him, but who doesn¡¯t know that our Junior Brother Qian Yun has many admirers?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. There were so many people in the Earth Fiend Hall, but Dong Xi just had to meet someone with such a big mouth, and his voice was so loud¡­ Dong Xi had an impulse to immediately escape from this ce, but when she thought about it, her reputation had already been ruined, and she still could not borrow the power of lightning. Wouldn¡¯t it be a waste of time if she left now? Dong Xi gritted her teeth and stood in ce. After a while, the Fellow Daoist who had gone in to pass the message came out, followed by a group of people who were watching the show. When Dong Xi saw so many people looking at him, she felt her scalp go numb. These people were very enthusiastic, and it was obvious that their cultivation was not very good. They were guaranteed to be no match for Dong Xi¡¯s Senior Brother. Dong Xi silently cursed in her heart, but her face did not show it at all. She was even more natural and unrestrained, as if she did not care about this group of people watching her. ¡°I¡¯m Dong Xi from the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi cupped his fists at the crowd. I¡¯ve heard that Daoist Qian Yun has a lightning spirit root. I wonder if we can have a spar?¡± Dong Xi did not even know who Qian Yun was, and was only looking for a tool with a lightning spirit root. Qian Yun had seen many admirers who came to look for him, but he had never seen one who did not even look at him. Moreover, this little girl did not look very old, so how could she be an admirer? There was a high chance that his Senior Brother was talking nonsense again. ¡°So it¡¯s Fairy Dong Xi, I¡¯ve long heard of your great name.¡± Qian Yun also cupped his fists. Dong Xi did not believe in these polite words at all. Dong Xi had only joined the sect for a short time, so how could she have such a reputation? Qian Yun saw that Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were clear, and her face was filled with eagerness. She did not have the shyness of a young girl at all, as if she really just wanted to fight. Qian Yun had an idea of what was going on. After thinking for a moment, Qian Yun said, ¡°Master said that Immortal cultivators are supposed to learn from each other and grow. Please enlighten me, Junior Sister.¡± When Dong Xi heard Qian Yun agree, she immediately said, ¡°Are we going to find a ce with fewer people to spar now?¡± Qian Yun nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, ¡°Excuse me, is Junior Martial Sister a sword cultivator?¡± ¡°It can be considered half a sword cultivator,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. As for the other half, Qian Yun didn¡¯t ask, and Dong Xi did not say. The two of them wanted to go to the back mountain of Thunder Sound Temple to spar, and the crowd followed them closely. Dong Xi was helpless. She had indeede to get beaten up, but getting beaten up secretly and being beaten up by a group of people were twopletely different things. Dong Xi and Qian Yun tactfully asked everyone to leave, but no matter what, everyone had to stay and cheer for them. How could Dong Xi not understand that these people just wanted to watch a good show? Dong Xi had no choice but to ¡®thank¡¯ the Senior Brother who had passed the message. The two of them found a ce to spar. Qian Yun made his preparations and noticed that Dong Xi did not take out her sword. Qian Yun said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re not going to take your sword?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush, Senior Brother, please make your move,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Qian Yun could not see through Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation either. She did not look too old, so her cultivation should be very low. However, to be able to participate in thepetition at such a young age, there must be something amazing about her, and she should not be underestimated. As the battle began, both of them lost theirposure. Qian Yun casually threw a basic lightning strike. This was in line with Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts. Dong Xi did not even dodge and immediately put on a khaki-colored protective barrier. As soon as the lightning struck, the protective shield shattered. Dong Xi took the lightning strike head-on. Everyone was dumbfounded by Dong Xi¡¯s actions. Dong Xi was so young¡­ Could she be an idiot? The lightning targeted her, and yet, she did not even dodge the attack? Dong Xi stood in ce. After absorbing the power of lightning in her body, she said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother, please continue.¡± Qian Yun saw that nothing had happened to Dong Xi, but her already curly hair had be even more curly. Chapter 295 - 295 Is Her Hair Naturally Curled Up? 295 Is Her Hair Naturally Curled Up? Qian Yun thought, ¡®Did Dong Xi¡¯s hair roll up naturally?¡¯ In the gap between his attacks, Qian Yun was still lost in his thoughts. The first attack was blocked by Dong Xi. Qian Yun knew of Dong Xi¡¯s abilities. This time, he formed a hand seal and said, ¡°Thunder and Lightning.¡± Dong Xi could feel the power in Qian Yun¡¯s hands. She thickened the protective shield appropriately and once again resisted the attack. Qian Yun gradually increased his strength and used half of his strength. Qian Yun shouted, ¡°Lightning Power!¡± ¡°Earth Power!¡± Dong Xi shouted. This was an earth-type spell technique that Dong Xi had learned in the Cultivation Technique Hall, but she had never used it before. The lightning in the air seemed to be held by a pair of invisible hands. After a moment of crackling, it finallynded on Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s hair was tied up into a bun, but it started to puff up. Her face also turned dark. There was even smokeing out of her mouth, and she looked more and more miserable. The surrounding crowd looked at Dong Xi and fell silent. Didn¡¯t she say she wanted to spar with Junior Brother Qian Yun? It was true that Qian Yun was stronger, but this girl was just here to get beaten up. It was some. Seeing Dong Xi in such a sorry state, Qian Yun retracted his hand and said, ¡°Junior Sister, are you okay?¡± Dong Xi made a hand seal, and after using a cleaning spell, her face became white and clean again. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, how about we just leave it at that?¡± Qian Yun asked. Dong Xi was thinking the same thing. She would go back and absorb the lightning power in her body beforeing back to find Qian Yun again. ¡°That¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s continue sparring when we have time,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Sure,¡± Qian Yun nodded. ¡°Senior Brother, do you want to exchange spiritual breath?¡± asked Dong Xi. When the crowd saw Dong Xi¡¯s anticipation, they immediately fell silent. In order to get Qian Yun¡¯s spiritual breath, she was going to risk her life like this? She knew that he would be beaten up, but she still wanted to do it? Qian Yun looked at Dong Xi, unable to express himself in a few words. In the end, he still left his spiritual breath behind. Dong Xi left happily, leaving behind a group of onlookers from the Earth Fiend Hall. After a long time, someone said, ¡°Look at Fellow Daoist Dong Xi, doesn¡¯t she look like he has obtained the spiritual breath of her beloved man?¡± When everyone heard this, they started to talk about it. ¡°She must be extremely happy.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist Dong Xi is so young, yet she already know how to admire handsome guys?¡± ¡­ Qian Yun did not agree with what everyone was saying. As the person in question, Qian Yun felt that something was not quite right. However, he could not pinpoint what exactly was wrong. Dong Xi was a sword cultivator, but she came to spar without a sword. This really did not make sense. Qian Yun pondered for a long time, but he still could not figure out what this fellow Daoist Dong Xi was up to. He could only wait and see. Since he had given his spirit breath, he should be able to know what Fellow Daoist Dong Xi want to do. Dong Xi did not know that she had be a topic of conversation for the people of the Earth Fiend Hall. Even if she knew, she would not take it to heart. Only the strong would be discussed by others, while the weak would only be dust. At this time, Dong Xi did not have the time to think about that. A dark yellow protective barrier covered her entire body. She maintained the shield, trying her best not to let the power of lightning leak out even a little. After returning to the meditation room, she would refine all of the lightning power. This trip was not in vain. Dong Xi used the Earth Bending movement technique and hurried back home. A few of her fellow sect members saw her, but she disappeared too quickly, she did not even greet them. When Dong Xi arrived at the meditation room, she pasted a defensive talisman on the door, then began to meditate and refine the power of thunder and lightning. However, she did not expect that when she opened her eyes again, hermunication jade slip was about to explode. Dong Xi looked at the jade slip that kept shing. For a moment, she did not know what was going on. Why were there so many people looking for her while she was meditating? Could something have happened again? Dong Xi activated the jade slip curiously. Second Senior Brother¡¯s messages popped up as quickly. There were hundreds of messages in total. Dong Xi was stunned and then randomly clicked on a voice message. She heard Second Senior Brother gritting his teeth and saying, ¡°Dong Xi, where are you?!¡± Dong Xi suddenly shivered and immediately replied to Second Senior Brother¡¯s voice message. She said, ¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here. I was just meditating.¡± Song Qingfeng immediately sent a voice message. He said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to exin?¡± Dong Xi did not understand what was going on at all. She quickly said, ¡°Exin what?¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s voice message was quickly sent over. He said, ¡°You¡¯re just a little girl! How old are you? You¡¯re so young, and you already know how to chase after men? How can you destroy our reputation like this? That guy from the Earth Fiend Hall isn¡¯t even qualified to carry my Junior Sister¡¯s shoes!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Regardless of whether he was qualified or not, Dong Xi did not need anyone to carry her shoes¡­ Chapter 296 - 296 I’m Only There to Fight Him 296 I¡¯m Only There to Fight Him Dong Xi knew in her heart that it was probably the group of people from the Earth Fiend Hall who were spouting nonsense outside. Dong Xi sighed and immediately sent a voice message to Second Senior Brother. She said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, I went there to fight, not to chase after men, okay? I didn¡¯t even know who that person is before I met him.¡± Song Qingfeng sent a random message, and he said, ¡°Then why did you ask for Qian Yun specifically?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right, I¡¯m just asking who has a lightning spirit root!¡± Dong Xi hurriedly exined. Song Qingfeng was stunned when he heard the voice message. After he came to his senses, he immediately said, ¡°What lightning spirit roots? What did you do this time?¡± Dong Xi smiled and then sent a voice message, saying, ¡°I¡¯m doing body refinement.¡± Song Qingfeng immediately fell silent and controlled his emotions. He sent a voice message, ¡°You wait there, don¡¯t run around.¡± Dong Xi blinked her eyes and hesitated for a while. Although she really wanted to run, she was afraid that she would anger Second Senior Brother. He¡¯ll kill her, and that would be more of a loss than gain. Dong Xi could only stay where she was and continue to check the messages in themunication jade slip. She found that there were messages from other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. Many of them were just here to watch the show, so Dong Xi casually exined. Only Kong Xing¡¯s reply was different. [Junior Sister, tomorrow, the Iron Head Technique.] Dong Xi immediately replied. [Got it, Senior Brother.] Kong Xing saw Dong Xi¡¯s message and immediately replied. [Are you really going? I thought you¡¯d be scared after thest time.] ¡°Why are you afraid?¡± Dong Xi sent a voice message. ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m not particrly tired.¡± Even exhaustion had a critical point. Dong Xi admitted that practicing the Iron Head Technique was very tiring, but she had not reached her limit yet, so she could still bear it. After a long silence, Kong Xing sent a voice message, ¡°Out of all the 2,400 disciples from all eight sects that participate in this tournament, you¡¯re the only one who is a freshie. You¡¯re the only one who just joined a sect. Junior Sister, you are more like a monk than the monks of the Buddhism sect.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi did not want this to happen either, but she had no choice. She would basically reach her own deadline in eight years. Eight yearster, she will be in a life-threatening situation. That¡¯s right, there are still six years left. Dong Xi had to reach Foundation Establishment within these few years. If it had been two years ago, Dong Xi would not have dared to think this way, but now it was different. Dong Xi was now at the seventhyer of the Qi Refinement stage. Even if she wanted to reach the upper limits of the Foundation Establishment stage, eight years would be enough. ¡°We¡±, it¡¯s not that hard. At the end of the cultivation, all the hard work will belong to ourselves,¡± Dong Xi said via voice message. Kong Xing said in the voice chat, ¡°Junior Sister, I heard that you went to the Earth Fiend Hall to pursue some guy? Junior Sister, it¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, but you¡¯re still so young¡­¡± Dong Xi only heard half of it before she immediately sent a voice message, ¡°That¡¯s just a rumor, Senior Brother. I¡¯m just going to fight with Qian Yun. There¡¯s no love between us. It¡¯ll only dy my cultivation.¡± Kong Xing was delighted, and he said with a hollow voice, ¡°Junior Sister, I think you¡¯re more suitable for Buddhist cultivation.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. The two of them chatted more before a voice came from outside. Dong Xi knew that it was Second Senior Brother. Dong Xi hurriedly got up and opened the door. She found her two Senior Brothers there. Dong Xi said in surprise, ¡°Why is Eldest Senior Brother here?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll exin everything to you today,¡± Liang Yan said with a frown. ¡°Otherwise, don¡¯t even think about leaving the house.¡± Junior Sister is very young and her talent is not bad. Those shameless sects actually used a method like Beauty Trap to lure her? Are they trying to steal a genius disciple of the Ningtian Sect? Impossible, this was impossible! If they were tricked away like this, how would Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng face their Master and the Sect Master? Dong Xi was already a little annoyed by the exnation. She said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I¡¯ve said it before, I only went there to fight with that guy. There are very few lightning spirit root users. I¡¯m very grateful that Senior Brother Qian Yun is willing to fight me.¡± Song Qingfeng was still rational, but he did not want to believe the Earth Fiend Hall. He believed that this cunning Junior Sister would not be so easily deceived. ¡°Then tell me,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°What¡¯s the situation with that body refinement ¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother, the power of thunder and lightning can temper one¡¯s body. Did you know that?¡± ¡°Everyone knows that the Heavenly Lightning from the Heavenly Tribtion can be used to train the body,¡± Song Qingfeng said. Dong Xi suddenly thought of something. The human body was too weak, and the Heavenly Dao had set up those Heavenly Lightning to help refine the human body. If a person could withstand all the Heavenly Lightning, his physical strength would probably easily surpass that of a demonic beast. However, the human body was too weak, and it was impossible for it to withstand the Heavenly Lightning. Luckily, humans were an intelligent race and knew how to use all kinds of treasures to help even the odds with the Lightning Tribtion. Chapter 297 - 297 That’s Indeed the Case 297 That¡¯s Indeed the Case If Dong Xi could temper her body to a certain degree, wouldn¡¯t she be able to continue tempering her body with the help of the Lightning Tribtion? Song Qingfeng did not know that a casual sentence could cause his Junior Sister to have so many wild ideas. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s silence, Song Qingfeng continued, ¡°So, you went to find Qian Yun just to use the lightning spirit root to temper your body?¡± ¡°That¡¯s indeed the case,¡± Dong Xi nodded. Song Qingfeng frowned and said, ¡°He¡­ was he willing?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s why I went to fight him. I just¡­ didn¡¯t fight back.¡± Song Qingfeng immediately knew why the rumors were so ridiculous. She did not even fight back. What else could she have other than true love? No one would have thought that this little girl would actually use the power of lightning to temper her body! Dong Xi thought for a moment and told him about her cultivation. She said, ¡°Senior Brothers, if you use lightning to train your body, your body will slowly be immune to lightning. I want to keep using lightning to train my body so that it will be easier for me to pass the Lightning Tribtion.¡± After leaving Dong Xi¡¯s ce, Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng no longer suspected that Dong Xi was in love. This Little Junior Sister was a cultivation fanatic. There was only cultivation in her world and no love. Even if she had a man, he was just a tool. Song Qingfeng looked at Liang Yan who was deep in thought. He waved the fan in his hand and said, ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t really want to do what Little Junior Sister said, do you?¡± Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and did not say anything. The two of them grew up together. How could Song Qingfeng not know what Liang Yan was thinking? Liang Yan did not say anything, which meant that he was thinking the same. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Senior Brother, what Little Junior Sister said might make sense. But you have to know that your next Tribtion will be the Nascent Soul stage¡¯s Lightning Tribtion. Do you think such a thing is possible? If there¡¯s any mistake, you¡¯ll be annihted.¡± The method was not bad, but it was toote. Junior Sister¡¯s cultivation level was low now. She was currently refining her body, and when she reached the Golden Core stage, she might be able to do it. ording to Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s talent and age, he was a person who threatened the Heavenly Dao. His Nascent Soul Lightning Tribtion would be much more powerful than what their Junior Sister would face. Liang Yan was already at thete Golden Core stage. It was a waste of time to train his body now. He had to seize the time to search for natural treasures and prepare for his Tribtion. Song Qingfeng tried to persuade Liang Yan. Liang Yan knew that Song Qingfeng had good intentions. Although they did not get along since they were young, they were still brothers when it came to right and wrong. ¡°I know,¡± Liang Yan said with a serious face. After taking a few steps, Liang Yan said, ¡°Junior Sister¡¯s idea is quite crazy, but it isn¡¯t impossible. I¡¯ll train and refine my body in the future. If my body is stronger, I¡¯ll have a higher chance of surviving when I go out traveling.¡± Then, Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°You can also refine with me.¡± Just as Song Qingfeng was about to refuse, Liang Yan said in a tone that he could not refuse, ¡°If you don¡¯t practice it, I¡¯ll immediately tell Master that you set up a private betting den in the Buddhist temple!¡± Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± Song Qingfeng was starting to treat his Senior Brother like a true brother, and he just had to say such things and destroy the illusion. ¡­ The next morning, before the moon had disappeared, Dong Xi jumped up from the futon. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng on her wrist. She said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that there¡¯s no more power of lightning? There¡¯s some now, right?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s cold voice appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. He said, ¡°I¡¯m not lying. You¡¯ve run out of the power of lightning, but I still have some.¡± Dong Xi was seething with anger, feeling as if she had been deceived. ¡°And you were the one who asked me to wake you up,¡± Su Cheng continued. Su Cheng kept the time and was very punctual. If the little girl dared to be unhappy¡­ Next time, he¡¯s not going to wake her up, and let her bete. Dong Xi¡¯s anger immediately dissipated. She was not very angry at first, but she was suddenly electrocuted, and it did not feel good. Dong Xi put away the futon, made a hand seal, and used a cleaning technique to clean herself up. Then, she went out. Now, she did not need Kong Xing to lead the way, and Dong Xi could find the ce. In addition to the few people he had met before, there was also a disciple from another sect in ss. From their clothing, they should be from the Masked Moon Sect. Seeing Dong Xi enter, this person was not very surprised. The two of them looked at each other. This Masked Moon Sect disciple was tall and sturdy, much bigger than Dong Xi. The muscles on his body were even more solid, and his arms were thicker than Dong Xi¡¯s legs. Dong Xi did not doubt in the slightest that this person¡¯s punch could shatter steel and wood. It waspletely understandable for such a person to practice the Iron Head Technique. After all, he looked like a physical cultivator. The two of them nodded as a form of greeting. Dong Xi still stood in her previous position, and not long after, Master Wang Chi walked in. Chapter 298 - 298 Again? 298 Again? Wang Chi looked at the crowd. When he saw the disciples of the Masked Moon Sect, he remained calm. However, when he saw Dong Xi, he was a little surprised. This little girl¡­ again? Could it be that the forgetfulness training was too simple? It did not seem so. It didn¡¯t matter. She could hold onst time, but she might not be able to this time. !! The Iron Head Technique was not something that could be easily cultivated. It required years of cultivation. There were not many people in Thunder Sound Temple who could endure it now. When these people returned to their sects, would they have the fortitude to cultivate the technique on their own? Wang Chi did not say anything unnecessary. He taught everyone a few warm-up moves, then took out a piece of Steel Wood and told them the essentials of the Iron Head Technique. This disciple of the Masked Moon Sect was called Tie Zhu. He was indeed a body cultivator. Tie Zhu took the Steel Wood and carefully observed it for a moment. Then, he smashed it down on his head. His body shook and he fainted instantly. Dong Xi was speechless. Everyone also stopped what they were doing and looked at Tie Zhu on the ground in confusion. Dong Xi did not know if should say that this person was too honest or that he was too stupid. Although he was a body cultivator, he did not have to be so ruthless, right? He was probably the first person in the world to knock him unconscious right after starting the ss, right? Master Wang Chi did not say anything, but his thoughts were simr to Dong Xi¡¯s. Such inflexible cultivators were even more of a headache than those who ran away. When would the disciples learn that they needed to use their brains to cultivate? Wang Chi sighed softly and went forward to inject spiritual Qi into Tie Zhu to wake him up. Tie Zhu clutched his head and sat up. He opened his eyes and angrily said, ¡°Who is the shameless one who dared to attack me from behind?¡± Dong X, ¡°¡­¡± Master Wang Ch, ¡°¡­¡± The remaining people were all silent. This person¡­ Was he here to be funny? Tie Zhu shouted for a long time, but when he saw the expressions of the people around him, he suddenly remembered what he had just done. Today, Tie Zhu seemed to¡­ He hade here early in the morning¡­ Furthermore, no one had sneaked an attack on him. It was Tie Zhu who had knocked himself out. Tie Zhu¡¯s face immediately turned red and he smiled awkwardly. He instinctively wanted to scratch the back of his head, but the pain made Tie Zhu grimace. This was really¡­ It was too painful. Master Wang Chi saw that Tie Zhu had woken up. He stood up, tidied up his clothes, and then looked at the crowd. He said, ¡°You¡¯ve just started cultivating, so you can be gentler.¡± This sentence was clearly directed at Tie Zhu, and everyone understood. After Master Wang Chi had finished speaking, Dong Xi was about to use cultivation to cultivate when she suddenly realized that there was an additional person beside her. Dong Xi looked over in surprise and saw Tie Zhu at the side. He revealed his white teeth andughed foolishly. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Umm¡­ Junior sister, I really can¡¯t bear to do knock myself out again. Why don¡¯t¡­ why don¡¯t we work together and take turns?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Tie Zhu could not bear to do anything to himself, but he was prepared to knock Dong Xi unconscious? Dong Xi did not dare to agree. Tie Zhu had been so ruthless to himself just now. Wouldn¡¯t he be even more ruthless to hit Dong Xi? ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m also embarrassed to act against you,¡± said Dong Xi with a refusal. Tie Zhu raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. The pain made him suck in a breath of cold air and quickly put down his hand. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister, as Immortal cultivators, we can¡¯t be soft-hearted. Why don¡¯t we do this¡­ Just imagine I¡¯m a demon beast, okay? Maybe we can take action immediately.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Was this Senior Brother the key to the problem? Just as Dong Xi was thinking of a way to reject Tie Zhu, Master Wang Chi said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk when you¡¯re cultivating,¡± Dong Xi immediately picked up a brick and smacked it on her head without listening to what Tie Zhu said. Tie Zhu was worried that he would be driven out by Master Wang Chi, so he returned to his ce obediently. Perhaps it was the pain in the back of his head that made Tie Zhu panic. Even if Tie Zhu was a boor, he did not do it too hard. Dong Xi had originally thought that this was her second time here and that she would feel better this time with the foundation she had built up before. However, she did not expect it to be even more tiring than before. Dong Xi sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at his fellow brothers lying around him. She took out a bottle of Body Refining Pills and ate one pill. Fortunately, Second Senior Brother had made a lot of them before, and there were still some left. The medicinal power flowed slowly through Dong Xi¡¯s meridians and slowly seeped into her flesh and blood. As expected of a Body Refining Pill. When the medicinal effects of the pill took effect, Dong Xi immediately felt as if she had recovered and was in high spirits. No wonder Senior Brother Kong Xing said that ordinary disciples would note here more than three times. Normally, there were only four people. Kong Xing was forced toe by his Master, and the other three¡­ The other three had be Wang Chi Master¡¯s disciples the moment they entered Buddhism. It was impossible for them to run now, so they could only persist whether they liked it or not. Chapter 299 - 299 Shocking 299 Shocking Dong Xi now understood that Master Wang Chi never expected people toe again after his training. This also aroused Dong Xi¡¯spetitive spirit. Only with pressure would there be progress. Dong Xi would not leave. She also wanted to see how much she had grown under Master Wang Chi¡¯s strict control during this period of time. Dong Xi tidied up her clothes and stood up calmly. She casually used a cleaning spell to clean herself up. When the others saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, they struggled to look over, their eyes filled with shock. !! Dong Xi gave Kong Xing another pill. The originally exhausted and paralyzed Kong Xing did not even have time to react before the pill dissolved. Kong Xing trusted Dong Xi, so he allowed medicinal power to circte in his body. Not long after, Kong Xing stood up. The two of them left under the envious gazes of the others. ¡°Junior Sister, what pill did you give me just now?¡± Kong Xing asked after they came out. ¡°It¡¯s a fifth-grade Body Refining Pill,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°My second Senior Brother refined it for me.¡± When Kong Xing heard Dong Xi mention the item so easily, it was as if it was not even worth mentioning. Only then did Kong Xing remember that Dong Xi was also a pill cultivator. That¡¯s right, Dong Xi was a pill cultivator. Kong Xing, who originally wanted to buy some medicine from Dong Xi, immediately dispelled the thought. Usually, even if Kong Xing worked hard, he could not afford to eat a fifth-grade pill. To be able to eat one today, he had totally lucked out. After returning to his room, Kong Xing received news from his other Junior Brothers as expected. [Senior Brother Kong Xing, what did Fellow Daoist Dong Xi give you today? Can you help your Junior Brothers buy some? You know, we can¡¯t hold on much longer.] Kong Xing smiled as he replied. [Why? Is Master¡¯s personal guidance not enough?] The few of them were afraid that Kong Xing would tell on them, so they immediately replied. [We¡¯re very content, but wouldn¡¯t it be perfect if we had pills?] Kong Xing smiled helplessly and replied. [Junior Brother, don¡¯t think about it anymore. I¡¯ve asked Junior Sister Dong Xi, and she said that its a Body Refining Pill. We can¡¯t afford it!] After a long time, his junior brother replied. [Sorry to disturb you.] Even through themunication jade slip, Kong Xing could see how lonely his Junior Brothers were. Kong Xing shook his head, took out some paper, and started to write and draw. This was a technique he had learned from Junior Sister Dong Xi, and it was indeed very useful. ¡®Junior Martial Sister gave Kong Xing a fifth-grade pill, and Kong Xing had nothing to repay her with.¡¯ He quickly created a group chat on themunication jade slip. ¡­ Dong Xi did not know that a pill she gave out casually would have such an effect. She took out hismunication jade slip and set a time to fight with Qian Yun again. [Senior Brother Qian Yun, are you busy? Shall we spar?] Without waiting for Dong Xi to return to the meditation room, Qian Yun replied. [There¡¯s apetition today, so I have to wait until veryte. Can you wait, Junior Sister?] When Dong Xi saw that her ¡®tool¡¯ was willing to spar with her, she was instantly happy. Dong Xi immediately replied to the message. [I don¡¯t have any matches today. I¡¯ll wait for you, Senior Brother.] Qian Yun did not know if the rumors from the past two days had affected Dong Xi. Qian Yun had also asked his Senior Brother who Dong Xi was looking for that day, and found out that Dong Xi was not really looking for him. She was only looking for the lightning spirit root. Right now, the rumors outside were all about the inner disciples of the Earth Fiend Hall being in love with each other. Qian Yun felt that this was not good. After thepetition, he had to go back to the sect and tell his Master. Qian Yun pondered for a moment before sending another message. [Junior Sister, let¡¯s meet at the Lotus Pond today. What do you think?] There were a lot of onlookers at the back of the mountain. He wanted to change to a quieter ce. Dong Xi immediately replied. [No problem.] Dong Xi flipped through the Big Snake¡¯s Body-Tempering Cultivation Technique manual and studied it again and again. She put down the book and began to study the rhythm of her muscles. Time flew by, and Dong Xi arrived at the Lotus Pond at the agreed time. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, and there were little turtles was on the leaves. The surroundings were very quiet, and there were not many cultivators here to see the scenery. Dong Xi observed his surroundings and saw Qian Yun¡¯s figure appear at the end of the bottomne. Qian Yun walked over and cupped his fists, ¡°I made Junior Sister wait for a long time. It took me some effort to get rid of those nosy people.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± The two of them, who were originally magnanimous, really looked like they were on a date after being tricked like this. Dong Xi also did not waste time. Smiling as he said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I just got here.¡± Seeing that Qian Yun was about to say something, Dong Xi continued, ¡°Senior Brother, time is limited. Shall we start now?¡± Qian Yun had wanted to apologize on behalf of his Senior Brothers, but when he saw Dong Xi¡¯s face, it was as if she was not bothered by the rumors at all. Qian Yun nodded in agreement. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s begin.¡± Dong Xi was prepared to continue being beaten up when he heard Qian Yun say, ¡°Junior Sister, please make the first move in this spar.¡± ... Chapter 300 - 300 I Really Can’t Beat Him 300 I Really Can¡¯t Beat Him Dong Xi was instantly stunned. A thought suddenly appeared in her mind: Does Qian Yun also want to be beaten up? However, Dong Xi had already finished asking around. Qian Yun was at the 11th level of the Qi Refinement stage. Dong Xi really could not beat him. The two of them persisted for a while. Dong Xi saw that Qian Yun had no intention of attacking and sighed in her heart. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, please enlighten me.¡± Dong Xi still did not take out his sword. She raised her hand and began to form hand seals. Dong Xi said, ¡°Power of the Earth.¡± A huge earth hand appeared in the air and smashed towards Qian Yun. The attack was easily repelled. Qian Yun retracted his hand and looked at Dong Xi. He said helplessly, ¡°Junior Sister, can you be more serious?¡± Dong Xi did not say anything, nor did she look at Qian Yun. Dong Xi frowned, deep in thought. It was unknown if she had heard Qian Yun¡¯s words. Qian Yun did not disturb Dong Xi and just looked at her as she pondered. After a while, Dong Xi formed another hand seal. She used the Power of the Earth again, but it was slightly different from before. Qian Yun felt the ground beneath his feet move, and the cobblestone path seemed to have be a flowing stream. Qian Yun instinctively used his flying magic tool and nced at the serious-looking Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s hand seals became faster and faster. At the same time, Dong Xi¡¯s entire body was wrapped in khaki-colored spiritual Qi, as if she was in an eggshell. As Dong Xipleted her hand seals, a huge fist slowly rose from the ground and smashed toward Qian Yun in the sky. Qian Yun did not dare to act this time and immediately flew up a few hundred feet. Qian Yun shouted, ¡°Divine Lightning!¡± Qian Yun¡¯s cultivation was stillcking, so he could not use the perfected Divine Lightning skill. However, even this half-baked skill was hard for many people to bear. To be able to use this move to resist Dong Xi¡¯s Power of the Earth also meant that Dong Xi¡¯s attack this time was much stronger than before. However, Qian Yun had not expected that after the Divine Lightning had nullified the Power of the Earth, Dong Xi would actually appear under the Divine Lightning and voluntarily get struck by it. The power of the Divine Lightning was much weaker after being consumed by the Power of the Earth, but it definitely did not feel good to be struck by lightning. Dong Xi absorbed the power of the lightning and began to meditate, refining it. In this way, Qian Yun seemed to have realized something. At first, Dong Xi asked around who had lightning spirit roots, then said she wanted to spar, and even let lightning strike her continuously. Could it be that Junior Sister Dong Xi¡­ liked to be struck by lightning? This was indeed very strange. There were actually people who liked to be struck by lightning? What was Dong Xi trying to do? Qian Yun did not continue to attack. He stood quietly beside Dong Xi as if he was protecting her. When Dong Xi opened her eyes, Qian Yun said seriously, ¡°Junior Sister, are you really here to spar with me?¡± Dong Xi knew she could not hide it anymore. Just as she was about to exin, sounds came from the grass behind him. The two of them looked at the grass at the same time. Qian Yun shouted, ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± A group of people walked out from the grass one after another. They were all Qian Yun¡¯s Senior Brothers. Everyoneughed awkwardly and started talking. ¡°You guys continue to chat. Don¡¯t pay attention to us. We¡­ were just passing by.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re just passing by.¡± ¡°By the way, Junior Sister, you¡¯re definitely not here to spar with Junior Brother Qian Yun, right? We understand.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi realized that there was going to be a new round of rumors. She quickly said, ¡°No, I¡¯m only here to spar.¡± Dong Xi took out the iron sword that he had prepared earlier. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, please enlighten me.¡± Dong Xi had justprehended a little bit of the Power of the Earth and was interrupted by these people. The Power of the Earth was kind of spiritual Qi. If it could be poured out by the vast earth, its power would be very great. However, it was not that simple. Dong Xi had onlyprehended a little bit. When she had time in the future, she would slowly cultivate it. For now, she would focus on body cultivation. When Qian Yun saw that Dong Xi had taken out an iron sword, he wanted to remind her that using an iron sword was not a good idea. However, he was afraid that his Senior Brothers would misunderstand and say that he was being lovey-dovey with Dong Xi, so Qian Yun could only shut his mouth. He thought to himself, ¡®Forget it, when we spar, I¡¯ll have to control my strength.¡¯ He wanted to let his na?ve Junior Sister know that an iron sword was not a good choice of weapon to deal with cultivators with lightning spirit roots. Dong Xi naturally knew about this. She was not a fool. Moreover, everyone knew that iron was conductive. The reason why Dong Xi used an iron sword was to better conduct electricity. She was using it deliberately for body tempering. Such a good opportunity, how could she miss it?! Qian Yun threw out a spell technique, and Dong Xi did not even think before raising her iron sword to meet the lightning attack. It looked as if she was fighting, but in reality, she purposely blocked the attack. At first, Qian Yun still wanted to warn Dong Xi, so he did not hit him too hard. Dong Xi happily received the power of the lightning, feeling the electricity coursing through her body. After she did this a few times, not to mention Qian Yun, even the spectators realized that something was wrong. Chapter 301 - 301 Refreshed 301 Refreshed All of the onlookers who had sparred with Junior Brother Qian Yun had been electrocuted before. When they saw Qian Yun throwing lightning, they all wanted to dodge it. Why was this Dong Xi looking for trouble? After being electrocuted for a long time, Dong Xi felt refreshed. Qian Yun was also stunned by Dong Xi. The two of them were sparring intensely, but they didn¡¯t even use a fifth of their strength. They were just fighting like children. Dong Xi felt that it was about time. She put away her iron sword and said, ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother.¡± Qian Yun was speechless. !! Guidance? Where was the guidance? Wasn¡¯t it just casually using a few lightning bolts? Any new disciple could do it. Qian Yun could not help but feel suspicious. Could it be that this Junior Sister Dong Xi really wanted to spend some time with him? However, Dong Xi¡¯s expression did not seem like it. After all, Dong Xi¡¯s gaze had never stopped on Qian Yun¡¯s face. What was it for? Qian Yun watched Dong Xi leave and pondered for a long time. Qian Yun could not figure it out, but on the way back, he heard the words of a few Masked Moon Sect disciples. ¡°The genius disciples of the Ningtian Sect came to participate in thepetition two years after joining the sect.¡± ¡°You mean that¡­ Dong Xi?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. None of you would have guessed that Dong Xi is a body cultivator at such a young age!¡± Qian Yun listened for a long time until the sound gradually faded away. ¡°Body cultivation?¡± Qian Yun muttered to himself. Qian Yun suddenly recalled that there was a rumor in the Earth Fiend Hall that had been circting for a long time. The Lightning Grandmaster of the Earth Fiend Hall had previously used the power of lightning to temper his body¡­ However, this was only a legend, and no one dared to ask the Lightning Grandmaster. However, Fellow Daoist Dong Xi¡¯s abnormal behavior over the past few days caused Qian Yun to think of this. The power of lightning was indeed useful for body-tempering, this was without a doubt. Qian Yun was born with lightning spirit roots, and his body was also much stronger than people of the same age. After he started cultivating, the effect of lightning spiritual energy on his body was even more obvious. Qian Yun had always thought that this was an extra benefit from the path of cultivation. However, he had never thought that he would be reminded by a new disciple of the Ningtian Sect to use the power of lightning to temper his body. Qian Yun smiled helplessly and left. After returning to his meditation room, Qian Yun could not help but take out hismunication jade slip and send a message to Dong Xi. [Junior Sister, are you refining your body?] When Dong Xi saw Qian Yun¡¯s message, she sighed helplessly. She suddenly felt that it was over. Dong Xi had long since guessed that this matter would not be hidden for long. Senior Brother Qian Yun would definitely find out. Would Qian Yun still be willing to continue being a tool after knowing the situation? This was hard to say. Dong Xi thought for a moment and sent a voice message to Qian Yun, apologizing sincerely. She said, ¡°Senior Brother Qian Yun, I¡¯m sorry. I happened to know that lightning can temper one¡¯s body. I¡¯ve tried it before, but the effect wasn¡¯t very good. It¡¯s all thanks to you for sparring with me these few days¡­¡± Qian Yun¡¯s brows twitched. So it was true. The jade slip in his hand once again received Dong Xi¡¯s voice message. She said, ¡°I¡¯ve disturbed Senior Brother for the past few days. I didn¡¯t tell you the truth. It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯ve already asked someone to send you a bottle of Body Refining Pills. Please forgive me. In the future, if you don¡¯t want to, I won¡¯t bother you again.¡± Dong Xi still had to look around to see if there were any other Senior Brothers she could spar with. Qian Yun¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard about the Body Refinement Pills. Although this Junior Sister was young, she was quite aplished in body refinement. Qian Yun did not even have time to write and quickly sent out a voice message. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, you didn¡¯t disturb me, but you gave me a lot of ideas. I¡¯ve never trained my body before, can you teach me?¡± Other people would try their best to find Qian Yun to rub off on the power of lightning, but Qian Yun was like a child holding a treasure without knowing it. It would be a pity if he did not know how to use it. If it was Dong Xi¡¯s own body refinement technique, she would definitely agree, but it was Su Cheng who gave it to her. She was silent for a moment before sending a voice message. ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯ll have to get permission first.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for Junior Sister¡¯s reply,¡± said Qian Yun. Dong Xi put away themunication jade slip and immediately began to call Su Cheng. However, after shouting for a long time, there was no response. Dong Xi had no choice but to threaten, ¡°If you continue to ignore me, I won¡¯t be able to control my fire spiritual energy. I might burn you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve dealt with humans, but it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve met someone as unreasonable as you,¡± Su Cheng said helplessly. Heaven and earth could bear witness to this. Which one of those people would live to the point of being unreasonable in front of Su Cheng? Dong Xi¡¯s face was also slightly red. She coughed lightly and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious¡­ About the body refining technique you gave me, can I teach it to others¡­¡± Chapter 302 - 302 Not for Outsiders 302 Not for Outsiders Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Su Cheng ruthlessly said, ¡°No!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Dong Xi asked, somewhat puzzled. ¡°I won¡¯t teach any of my techniques to outsiders,¡± Su Cheng said coldly. Dong Xi nodded and took out hermunication Jade slip again, rejecting Qian Yun. Qian Yun did not necessarily have to learn Dong Xi¡¯s body cultivating technique. He just wanted to know how one could borrow the power of lightning to temper one¡¯s body. After being rejected by Dong Xi, Qian Yun went to find a body refining Senior Brother of the Masked Moon Sect. Seeing Tie Zhu, Qian Yun instantly understood what was going on. Since ancient times, body cultivators had always been a group of burly people. Their bodies were their weapons, their muscles were solid, and their blood vessels were vigorous. But looking at Junior Sister Dong Xi again, her small arms and legs did not look like a body cultivator at all! No wonder Dong Xi said that the cultivation technique could not be passed on to outsiders. Just from the fact that one would not be too big after cultivating it, one could tell that the cultivation technique was of a very high grade. Body shape and figure were important for girls, but Qian Yun was a man, so it did not matter. Qian Yun used the movement technique he obtained in the past to barter with Tie Zhu, asking for his body refining technique. Tie Zhu was also an honest person. He told Qian Yun that this cultivation technique was not very highand could only be cultivated to the fourth level. If he wanted to continue to train his body, he had to change to another cultivation technique. Qian Yun still expressed his thanks and went to find Dong Xi with the cultivation technique he had obtained. From then on, the disciples participating in the inter-sect tournament would see Qian Yun and Dong Xi together from time to time, both getting electrocuted on purpose. In the beginning, everyone thought that there was something strange between the two. A few dayster, Dong Xi found a Fellow Daoist who used a hammer as a weapon¡­ This was a story forter. ¡­ On the second day after Dong Xi and Qian Yun came to an agreement, Dong Xi went up topete again. She won the first round and entered the top 400. If she won this match, she would be able to enter the top 200 and return to the sect to make her two Masters proud. Just as Dong Xi was about to set off, she ran into Liang Yan at the door. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi. Liang Yan patted Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder in an uncharacteristic manner. Then, he gritted his teeth and took off the ornaments on his treasured sword, handing them over to Dong Xi. ¡°Little Junior Sister, fight well,¡± Liang Yan said. This sword tassel was a treasure that Liang Yan had specially asked someone to forge. With the tassel¡¯s enhancement, one could easily lock in on their opponent and not miss their sword techniques. Dong Xi did not know what the sword tassel was for, but seeing Liang Yan¡¯s expression as if he had sold his wife, she knew that it must be something good. Dong Xi received it with both hands and immediately said, ¡°Thank you for your reward, Senior Brother!¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words caused Liang Yan¡¯s expression to change drastically. He immediately retracted his hand from the sword tassel and said, ¡°Reward? This isn¡¯t a reward. I¡¯m only lending it to you!¡± It was rare for Liang Yan to be so emotional. This was enough to show that although the sword tassel was not as good as a sword, it was definitely a treasure. Dong Xi blinked her eyes and said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, tell me the truth, how many crystals did you put in here?¡± Having been exposed, Liang Yan coughed a few times in embarrassment and said, ¡°Nothing much.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of slyness. She deliberately said, ¡°It¡¯s good that it¡¯s not much. This way, even if I lose, you won¡¯t have any burden. It doesn¡¯t matter if I lose, right?¡± Liang Yan¡¯s eyes went wide as he said sternly, ¡°Junior Sister, you must win! Master said that if you win two rounds, you¡¯ll get a reward when you go back.¡± Dong Xi suppressed herughter and pretended to sigh, ¡°But Junior Sister¡¯s ability is limited. If I can¡¯t get the reward, then it¡¯s destined. I should forget it.¡± Liang Yan replied, ¡°How old are you? How can you ept your fate? You can¡¯t have such thoughts.¡± ¡°Senior Brother,¡± Dong Xi said deliberately. ¡°If Junior Sister really wins, can you share half of the spirit stones you earn with me?¡± Liang Yan was speechless. So this was the little girl¡¯s trap. Even though Liang Yan felt his heart ache, he still nodded and said, ¡°Alright! As long as you win, I¡¯ll give you half of the spirit stones I earn!¡± Only then did Dong Xi head to the arena. When she passed by the betting area, Dong Xi took a look at it and saw that the odds were 1 to 6. She could not help but click his tongue. Even the Senior Brothers of the Ningtian Sect would not dare to bet on Dong Xi¡¯s victory. They had thought that the odds would be quite high, but it was only 1 to 6. This also showed that Eldest Senior Brother did not bet just a little, he should have bet all his assets, right? No wonder the Eldest Senior Brother had taken out the sword tassel¡­ Wasn¡¯t this a must-win? Originally, Dong Xi had also wanted to continue betting on herself, but from the looks of it, there was no need. 1 to 6, there was no profit to be made! Chapter 303 - 303 The Road to Wealth Is Cut Off 303 The Road to Wealth Is Cut Off Dong Xi had just discovered that her path to wealth had been cut off. Eldest Senior Brother was truly ruthless. Dong Xi sighed a few times in silence, then turned and walked towards the first arena. This time, the opponent hade very quickly. By the time Dong Xi reached the ring, her opponent was already there. Dong Xi looked at the burly figure on the stage andughed. He could be considered an acquaintance. This time, Dong Xi¡¯s opponent was Senior Brother Tie Zhu, who had gone to learn the Iron Head Technique with her. Many disciples of the Masked Moon Sect had alsoe to watch. !! This was because they had heard that Junior Sister Dong Xi of the Ningtian Sect was also a body cultivator, so they were curious and wanted toe over to take a look. However, after seeing Dong Xi, these people were more or less disappointed. Tie Zhu¡¯s body was extremely solid. He could destroy a low-grade spiritual weapon with one punch. When they looked at Dong Xi again, there was no trace of body cultivation. her arms and legs were thin, and everyone suspected that Senior Brother Tie Zhu would kill Dong Xi with one punch. This Dong Xi¡­ was she really a body cultivator? The crowd was puzzled as they surrounded the ring to watch the two of them bow. ¡°Senior Brother Tie Zhu, what a coincidence,¡± Dong Xi said in a friendly manner. Tie Zhu also giggled and did not forget to ask, ¡°What a coincidence. By the way, Junior Sister, what kind of pill did you eat before? Can you sell me some?¡± They were all body cultivators, so Dong Xi naturally knew how attractive Body Refining Pills were to body cultivators. The conversation between the two also aroused the curiosity of the surrounding crowd. While everyone was waiting to hear, Dong Xi did not say anything. She only took out hermunication jade slip and gave Tie Zhu a look. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, let¡¯s talk in private. Let¡¯s add spiritual breath first.¡± Tie Zhu nodded and immediately took out hismunication jade slip. Under the gazes of hundreds of people, he added Dong Xi as a friend. Although Tie Zhu was simple-minded, his body had been trained and tempered. All body cultivators were worthy of respect. The hard work and sweat that body cultivators put in behind them were many times more than that of ordinary cultivators. Furthermore, this Senior Brother Tie Zhu was also an 11th level Qi Refinement stage cultivator. To be able to reach this level was enough to show that Senior Brother Tie Zhu¡¯s talent was extraordinary. Tie Zhu against Dong Xi¡­ No one would doubt the final oue of this duel. This was also Dong Xi¡¯s first time meeting a body cultivator. Now, Dong Xi had already reached the third stage of body refinement, reaching the minimum standard of tempering the spirit body mentioned in the cultivation technique. Not knowing what tier Tie Zhu was, Dong Xi could not help but want to test it out. Dong Xi did not take out her sword and directly cupped her fists. ¡°Senior Brother, please enlighten me.¡± When Tie Zhu heard this, he did not hold back and started to use his fist techniques. Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique was very outstanding. If she wanted to dodge Tie Zhu¡¯s punch, she would be able to do so. However, Dong Xi¡¯s fist turned into a palm, and she directly rushed forward. Qian Yun was also watching from below. When he saw the thin and small Dong Xi forcefully take Senior Brother Tie Zhu¡¯s punch, it felt like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However, Dong Xi actually managed to catch it. Every cell in Dong Xi¡¯s body was moving in a special rhythm. The power of Tie Zhu¡¯s punch dissipated bit by bit along with the rhythm. Tie Zhu was shocked when he saw this scene. Then, heughed and said, ¡°Satisfying! Only when you fight with physical cultivators can you have such a good learning opportunity. I¡¯m a man, but I can¡¯t evenpare to a girl.¡± Tie Zhu did not mean it, but the audience¡¯s faces suddenly looked a little embarrassed. Dong Xiughed and said, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re wrong. There is no fixedw for Immortal cultivators. No matter if it¡¯s body cultivation or spell cultivation, what they seek is the Great Dao. It¡¯s just that different paths lead to the same destination.¡± Tie Zhu was stunned, and so were the people below the stage. Some Buddhist cultivators even came forward in deep thought. Even the way Master Xuan Chen looked at Dong Xi had changed. This child was very Buddhist! ¡°Let¡¯s continue, Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi once again rushed toward Tie Zhu. Dong Xi had never dared to imagine a fight like this before. Tie Zhu kicked out, and Dong Xi retaliated with her palm. She used the force to flip her body in the air and continued to attack Tie Zhu. As the two of them fought fervently, the crowd below the stage also felt their blood boiling. It had to be said that a battle between body cultivators was much better to watch than a battle between spell cultivators. The two of them fought until they were out of breath. Tie Zhu stopped first, one of his eyes swollen from Dong Xi¡¯s punch. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister, today¡¯s fight was very refreshing. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, we¡¯ll continue topare notes. But now, it¡¯s time to determine the winner.¡± Dong Xi was also in a sorry state. The corner of her mouth had turned green, and there was even a trace of blood. Dong Xi saw Tie Zhu take out a ring and put it on his finger. Dong Xi frowned and also took out a long sword from her storage ring. The tassel on the sword started to shake because of Dong Xi¡¯s movements. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll apany you to the end,¡± said Dong Xi. Tie Zhu saw Dong Xi take out a long sword. Tie Zhu said in shock, ¡°You¡­ Aren¡¯t you a body cultivator? Why are you using a sword?¡± Chapter 304 - 304 It’s Not a Burden to Have More Skills 304 It¡¯s Not a Burden to Have More Skills ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s not a burden to have more skills, so I¡¯ll learn them all,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Tie Zhu did not know what to say for a moment. He could only give Dong Xi a thumbs up. Dong Xi was a sword cultivator. If Tie Zhu asked around, he would find out. However, Tie Zh was a simple-minded person. He only knew how to cultivate and did not ask for information. He directly came to thepetition. Tie Zhu was still wearing the ring. He touched it with his hands and looked at Dong Xi. He said, ¡°Next, Senior Brother will experience Junior Sister¡¯s sword technique.¡± Dong Xi made an opening gesture and said with a smile, ¡°Please give me some pointers, Senior Brother.¡± The ring on Tie Zhu had high-grade spiritual Qi. When Dong Xi struck it with her sword, it made a sound of metal colliding. Dong Xi knew that thispetition would not be easy. The sword tassel that the Eldest Senior Brother had lent to Dong Xi was also useless in thispetition. The sword tassel was mainly used to lock onto the target. However, Tie Zhu¡¯s movement technique was not good, so Dong Xi¡¯s every move could hit him anyway. Dong Xi¡¯s sword technique was like a storm, attacking Tie Zhu. Tie Zhu was like a rock, allowing the attacks to fall freely. The two of them fought for a few rounds and were both very tired, but neither of them could do anything to the other. Although Tie Zhu managed to block all of Dong Xi¡¯s moves, he also exhausted a lot of his energy. Tie Zhu wanted to seize the opportunity to counterattack, but Dong Xi¡¯s movements were so agile that he could not grasp her. The two of them stopped at the same time and ate their pills. Dong Xi¡¯s face was red from exhaustion, and Tie Zhu¡¯s back was also drenched in sweat. Tie Zhu looked at Dong Xi, who was also very tired. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, why don¡¯t we take a break mid-fight?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you, Senior.¡± This was the first time everyone had seen such a harmoniouspetition. The two of them sat on both sides, trying to recover their physical strength and spiritual energy. Everyone below the stage saw this and was instantly dumbfounded. If they allpeted like this, how long would thispetitionst? Tie Zhu and Dong Xi were very assured of each other. They were not afraid of a sneak attack, so they generously started to rest. After almost 15 minutes, Tie Zhu opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xi. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister, did you rest well?¡± Dong Xi had the dual assistance of the Body Refining Pill and the Spirit Restore Pill, so she had long recovered and had been waiting for Tie Zhu. Hearing Tie Zhu¡¯s words, Dong Xi opened her eyes and stood up. She stretched her back and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue!¡± The two of them fought again for more than an hour. Dong Xi felt the arm that was holding the sword tremble slightly, and Tie Zhu was not any better. The audience did not expect Tie Zhu to fight with Dong Xi for so long. Tie Zhu¡¯s cultivation was four levels higher than Dong Xi¡¯s, and he was also a physical cultivator. This really should not have happened! On the stage, Tie Zhu did not have such a psychological burden. After all, Tie Zhu had personally seen Dong Xi practice the Iron Head Technique. Dong Xi was able to keep up with Master Wang Chi¡¯s intense training and even maintain her physical strength, so she was naturally very powerful. These body cultivators never judged their cultivation based on their appearance. There was a huge difference between eating pills to increase one¡¯s cultivation and cultivating with one¡¯s heart. In the cultivation world, strength had always been the deciding factor, not cultivation. Whoever won was the most powerful. The two of them looked at each other and said at the same time, ¡°Why don¡¯t we¡­¡± The two of them instantly understood each other¡¯s thoughts. Tie Zhu smiled and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s take another rest.¡± Dong Xi immediately sat down, and the crowd below the stage began to discuss. Thispetition had been going on for a long time, and it had attracted the attention of the Elders. If this continued, what would happen to the rest of thepetition? Only after Master Xuan Chen sent someone over to ask did he find out what happened. It turned out that the two of them had fought to a draw, and now they hade to an agreement to rest. After resting, they would continue thepetition. After a short discussion, Master Xuan Chen and the other Elders decided that the two of them were tied. When Tie Zhu heard the Elders¡¯ decision, he did not feel embarrassed. He smiled and said, ¡°Junior Sister, from now on, you¡¯re my blood-rted younger sister. Only fighting with you can make me feel so satisfied. Next time, I¡¯ll go to the Ningtian Sect to find you, and we¡¯ll continue topare notes!¡± It was very refreshing to get along with such a straightforward person like Tie Zhu. ¡°Brother Tie Zhu, today¡¯spetition was great. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, let¡¯s continue.¡± Dong Xi said. Before the two of them could finish speaking, Master Xuan Chen waved his sleeve and chased them out of the arena. After Dong Xi steadied herself, she looked at the Senior Brothers around her, and her heart suddenly thumped. Today¡¯s match was a draw, so what about the Senior Brothers who had bet on Dong Xi? Especially Eldest Senior Brother, who had gambled all his assets¡­ Dong Xi was silent. Looking at the tassel on her sword, Dong Xi¡¯s heart felt heavy. How could she exin this? Chapter 305 - 305 Maybe I’ll Win 305 Maybe I¡¯ll Win Dong Xi activated Earth Shrinking to leave, wanting to return to the meditation room to hide. However, she did not expect to see her Senior Brother¡¯s figure from afar when she was about to reach the door. Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi puffed out her chest and encouraged herself. He could not me Dong Xi for this. Who knew that it would end up in a draw? Dong Xi did not even use her trump card. It was those Elders who did not give her a chance and chased her away. If she continued to fight, she might win! Moreover, Dong Xi had already said that she might not win. Small gambles were good for the mood, but big gambles would make them bankrupt. Eldest Senior Brother should not blindly believe in them. However, no matter how she thought about it, the moment Dong Xi moved her foot, he ran away. Dong Xi ran directly to Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng¡¯s room. She shouted as he ran, ¡°Second Senior Brother, help! Song Qingfeng was like a magicmp. As long as he was called three times, he would definitely appear. Dong Xi saw a familiar figure not far away and immediately ran forward, hiding behind Song Qingfeng. ¡°Second Senior Brother, save me!¡± Dong Xi said. Song Qingfeng looked at his big Senior Brother who was rushing over. He smiled and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯ve been defeated?¡± Liang Yan¡¯s face was cold as he looked at Song Qingfeng. He said, ¡°It¡¯s a draw., and the dealer took it all all. All my spirit stones are in your pocket.¡± Song Qingfeng opened his fan and waved it, protecting Little Junior Sister behind him. He said, ¡°You¡¯re right. Why? Could it be that Eldest Senior Brother is not willing to ept his loss?¡± Liang Yan was speechless. All of them were trying to provoke Liang Yan with their words. Liang Yan¡¯s spirit stones were all earned from his hard work in alchemy, and they were taken away by Song Qingfeng just like that? How could Liang Yan be convinced? Those were the spirit stones that he had earned with great effort! In fact, he did not even have these spirit stones in his hands for long. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Second Senior Brother blocking the Eldest Senior Brother. She poked his head out from behind the Second Senior Brother. Dong Xi smiled and handed over the sword tassel in his hand. Dong Xi said embarrassedly, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, I really didn¡¯t mean to harm you. Senior Brother Tie Zhu is a body cultivator. It¡¯s rare for me to meet him, so I thought of sparring with him. I didn¡¯t expect the Elders to judge it as a draw and even chase him down.¡± Liang Yan looked over, and Song Qingfeng immediately blocked Dong Xi behind him. Liang Yan frowned in dissatisfaction, and Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, I wonder if you can beat someone at the 1lt level of the Qi Refinement realm 11 when you¡¯re at the 7th level fo the Qi Refinement realm? And he¡¯s a body cultivator.¡± Liang Yan did not say anything. He understood the logic behind this and understood that victory and defeat were verymon things in the cultivation world. However, Liang Yan¡¯s heart really ached at the loss of those spirit stones. Liang Yan red at Song Qingfeng. A well-fed man doesn¡¯t know how a starving man feels. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s all in the past now,¡± Liang Yan said, his heart aching. Liang Yan treated this one month of pill refining as cultivation. Dong Xi felt a little sad when she saw her Eldest Senior Brother leave. Thinking about how her Eldest Senior Brother only had so much money and had lost, Dong Xi felt a little guilty. ¡®Forget it. I¡¯ll just give all these spirit stones to Eldest Senior Brother when I have the chance in the future. Today¡¯s incident will be a lesson for Eldest Senior Brother. I think he¡¯ll be more careful when making decisions in the future and won¡¯t be so reckless.¡¯ Song Qingfeng nced at Dong Xi and knew that she was soft-hearted, so he snorted coldly. It was not clear whether he was trying to warn Dong Xi or his Eldest Senior Brother. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Never borrow money or gamble with your wealth. Now that Eldest Senior Brother has lost so much, it¡¯s a good lesson to avoid going down the wrong path in the future.¡± Dong Xi looked at the serious-looking Second Senior Brother and felt that his words were even more senior than Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s. ¡°Second Senior Brother, where did Eldest Senior Brother go?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Can Eldest Senior Brother not be angry and take things too hard?¡± ¡°You¡¯re looking down on our Eldest Senior Brother,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. ¡°If he can¡¯t even endure this, how could he have lived in the world of cultivation for so many years?¡± Dong Xi blinked her eyes and said, ¡°Then Second Senior Brother, what is Eldest Senior Brother doing?¡± Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi and hit her head with his fan. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°You really don¡¯t understand, or are you just pretending? Since Eldest Senior Brother is so short on spirit stones, he¡¯s probably off to refine pills.¡± Dong Xi could not help butugh out loud. Although his Eldest Senior Brother was in a rather miserable state, Dong Xi stillughed out loud. Song Qingfeng was right. Liang Yan started to make pills as soon as he returned to the meditation room. It didn¡¯t feel good to have nothing, not to mention that he still had so many debts to pay. The news of Dong Xi and Tie Zhu¡¯s draw quickly spread among the Qi Refinement realm disciples. Chapter 306 - 306 I’m Looking at You in a New Light 306 I¡¯m Looking at You in a New Light The new disciples of the Ningtian Sect were indeed impressive, and some people even said that Dong Xi was the dark horse of this inter-sect tournament. Whether she was a dark horse or not, Dong Xi did not know. She only knew that she had won twice and entered the top 200. If Dong Xi won again, she would enter the top 100. Dong Xi thought about Second Senior Brother¡¯s promise. If she could enter the top 100, he would be given a mount as a reward. !! Although Dong Xi had a flying magic tool, one required spirit stones while the other required spiritual Qi. If she really had a mount, it would save her a lot of trouble when she went out to gain experience in the future. Dong Xi was a little eager to try. Those who could enter the top 100 were almost all at the 11th or 12th level of the Qi Refinement stage. Some people were even at the great circle of perfection, just one step away from the Foundation Establishment. In the past day, Dong Xi hadpeted again. This time, his opponent was a Buddhist cultivator from Thunder Sound Temple, and he was at the 11th level of Qi Refinement. Standing in the ring, the small monk saluted and said, ¡°Amitabha, this Little Monk¡¯s name is Hui Zhi.¡± ¡°Dong Xi,¡± Dong Xi immediately saluted. ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you,¡± Hui Zhi said. ¡°I heard that you have a high understanding of Buddhism. If you have time in the future, you cane to Thunder Sound Temple and discuss it with us.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± What did he mean by a high understanding of Buddhism? In both of Dong Xi¡¯s lives, she was only praying to the Buddha right now. She wanted to make ast-minute effort to pray, but she did not know if Buddha would see Dong Xi¡¯s sincerity and let her win again. Although this was what Dong Xi was thinking, she could not say it out loud. She said respectfully, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re too kind. If I have time in the future, I¡¯ll definitelye here and learn from you.¡± The two of them greeted each other courteously and started to fight. Hui Zhi had a metal spirit root. ording tomon sense, metal spirit roots were for output, but Hui Zhi was using it for defense. Hui Zhi used the Golden Bell Shield to protect himself, which gave Dong Xi a headache. Previously, she had encountered Senior Brother Tie Zhu, who was a body cultivator. Now, she had encountered Hui Zhi, who was mainly focused on defense. If Dong Xi could not break this Golden Bell Shield, there was no need to continue thepetition. Dong Xi took out her long sword and struck the Golden Bell Shield, but it did not break Hui Zhi¡¯s defense. No one would have thought that Hui Zhi would use such a strong defensive move! When Dong Xi heard the sounding from the Golden Bell Shield, she suddenly felt a little emotional. How good would it be if she could use sound wave attacks now? But even if she could not break the shield, she was notpletely out of options. Since her swordsmanship did not work, she would try her spells. Hui Zhi was a metal-type, so she tried fire. The temperature of Dong Xi¡¯s fire spiritual energy was different from that of ordinary people, and because of this, her alchemy furnace exploded several times. Not long after, Hui Zhi, who was in the Golden Bell Shield, could not bear it any longer. Hui Zhi helplessly opened up a little bit of the Golden Bell Shield, wanting to get some air. However, the floor of the ring suddenly trembled. A dirt-yellow palm suddenly appeared, and along the gap of the Golden Bell Shield, it directly lifted the entire Golden Bell Shield. Hui Zhi knew that something was wrong. He immediately jumped up and dodged the terrifying punch. Dong Xi¡¯s control of the Power of the Earth was bing more and more smooth. This was not the only move she knew. Dong Xi did not want to end up with another draw, so she immediately used her strongest move. Victory or defeat would be decided in an instant. Using the Power of the Earth to limit Hui Zhi¡¯s space of activity, Dong Xi¡¯s lips moved slightly, and she muttered an obscure Sanskrit phrase. The people below the stage could not understand what Dong Xi was saying, but they saw a lifelike fire dragon appear behind her. The mes pieced together to form Fire Dragon scales. The dragon bared its fangs and brandished its ws as it floated in the air. No one dared to look directly at it. Following Dong Xi¡¯s gaze, the fire dragon slowly opened its eyes and let out a silent roar. Then, it charged toward Hui Zhi with its body covered in mes. The crowd was shocked by this scene. They had never seen this spell before. Moreover, was such a powerful move really something that a 7th level Qi Refinement cultivator could use? Hui Zhi would have no choice but to jump down and admit defeat, right? Just as everyone was feeling anxious for Hui Zhi, they saw a golden man walk out of the sea of fire. Unlike before, this man had a Kasaya on him. When everyone saw this scene, they all became excited. ¡°Everyone, look, Hui Zhi is fine.¡± ¡°Amazing! He could withstand the dragon?¡± ¡°As expected, thepetition this time is much more powerful than the ones we¡¯ve had in the past.¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably because that Kasaya is powerful. so he is able to dodge it. I¡¯m afraid Dong Xi is going to lose.¡± ¡­ The crowd below the stage was bustling, expressing that they did not think highly of Dong Xi. After all, in everyone¡¯s eyes, this was Dong Xi¡¯s final trump card, and yet she could not hurt Hui Zhi. In that case, wouldn¡¯t the next move be Hui Zhi¡¯s showtime? Dong Xi was also surprised to see Hui Zhie out of the fire. ¡°As the saying goes, ¡®real gold fears no fire¡¯,¡± Dong Xi muttered to herself in a low voice. Chapter 307 - 307 Well-Deserved Reputation 307 Well-Deserved Reputation As Hui Zhi came out of the fire, the fire dragon also disappeared. Hui Zhi put his hands together and praised, ¡°Everyone says that Junior Sister is the dark horse of thispetition. Now that I¡¯ve experienced it, you¡¯re indeed worthy of your reputation.¡± ¡°Senior Brother is too kind, but didn¡¯t you dodge my attack?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Hui Zhi touched the Kasaya on his body and said, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to this Kasaya.¡± Dong Xi bit her lip and did not say anything. After all, equipment was also a part of one¡¯s strength, and the cultivation world acknowledged this rule. When travelling, the more life-saving items one had, the higher the chance of survival. No one had ever put away their equipment before fighting. If you can¡¯t win in equipment, then you¡¯re not as good as others. ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, it¡¯s Senior Brother¡¯s turn to attack now,¡± Hui Zhi said. After saying that, Hui Zhi began to make hand seals. Dong Xi immediately became serious. She would not give up until the end. Everyone thought that Dong Xi would not be able to deal with it. Dong Xi knew that she still had a move she had not used yet, and it was time to try it out. Dong Xi¡¯s hands quickly formed seals, and her movements gradually sped up. The crowd¡¯s eyes could not keep up with her speed. ¡°Dong Xi actually still has an ultimate move?¡± ¡°How terrifying. It¡¯s a good thing I didn¡¯t meet Dong Xi in my matches.¡± ¡°Needless to say, the moreplicated the hand seals are, the more powerful the moves will be.¡± ¡­ At the same time as Hui Zhi made his move, Dong Xi alsopleted her hand seal. She raised her hand and pushed, and the square golden mark collided with Hui Zhi¡¯s spell technique. With a loud bang, Dong Xi waved her hand, and a huge brown palm blocked in front of her. The aftermath of the explosion blew Dong Xi to the edge of the ring before she stopped. For a moment, the surroundings were silent. Everyone stared at the arena, wanting to know who won. When they saw the slender figure, everyone was shocked. ¡°What kind of spell is this? Who has seen it before?¡± ¡°Never. I¡¯ve seen many disciples from the Ningtian Sect, but I¡¯ve never seen anyone use this skill.¡± ¡°Dong Xi of the Ningtian Sect has something special.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi looked at the fallen Hui Zhi and walked over. Seeing that Hui Zhi¡¯s eyes were closed, Dong Xi thought for a moment before taking out a pill for Hui Zhi to eat. Hui Zhi ate the pill and woke up. Looking at Dong Xi, he said, ¡°Junior Sister is indeed amazing.¡± ¡°Senior Brother is also very strong,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°I lost,¡± Hui Zhi said, shaking his head. Dong Xi was instantly overjoyed. It did not matter if she won or lost, but she had obtained the mount that Second Senior Brother had promised. After leaving the ring, Dong Xi happily went to the betting area and got a bag of spirit stones. She hummed a little tune as she walked toward the Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s meditation room. Dong Xi stood at the door and knocked for a long time, but no one appeared. Dong Xi thought that her Eldest Senior Brother was not around and was just about to leave when the door opened. When Dong Xi saw her Eldest Senior Brother, she was stunned. She had never seen such a slovenly Eldest Senior Brother. His face was covered in a beard and his eyes were bloodshot. Looking into the room, there was an alchemy furnace with a terrifyingly high temperature. Therefore, Eldest Senior Brother must have been refining pills all this time. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± asked Liang Yan. Dong Xi immediately nodded and took out the bag of spirit stones. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, this is for you.¡± Liang Yan furrowed his brows, his eyes clearly bloodshot. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, I won today,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°This is all earned. I¡¯ll give you half.¡± Liang Yan was stunned at first, then he looked at his Junior Sister. Dong Xi lowered her head and took out another Spirit Restore Pill for Liang Yan. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t tire yourself out. Otherwise, you¡¯ll get white hair.¡± Liang Yan held the bag of spirit stones in one hand and the Spirit Restore Pill in the other as he stared at Dong Xi in a daze. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first and won¡¯t disturb you from continuing your alchemy.¡± Watching Dong Xi¡¯s back as she left, Liang Yan¡¯s eyes welled up with tears. Little Junior Sister is so good, so much better than Song Qingfeng! After Liang Yan consumed the Spirit Restore Pill, he opened the bag to take a look. The light from the spirit stones made him even more touched. Dong Xi left Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s ce. She did not return to her own meditation room, but happily went to Second Senior Brother¡¯s meditation room. Song Qingfeng was not surprised to see Dong Xi, but he was a little surprised about another matter. This little girl was so persistent about her mount that she could get into the top 100 just for her mount? Song Qingfeng was thinking that if he had said top 50, Dong Xi would have brought even more surprises. ¡°Second Senior Brother, what kind of mount are you going to give me?¡± Dong Xi boasted shamelessly. Could it be the legendary Deep Sea Flood Dragon?¡± Song Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Dong Xi¡¯s sparkling eyes. He said, ¡°You really dare to ask for it?! Deep Sea Flood Dragon? Second Senior Brother is waiting for you to be more powerful in the future so that you can catch a few of them for me to y with!¡± Chapter 308 - 308 Eccentric 308 entric Dong Xi pouted her lips. Dong Xi said, ¡°Second senior, I have a story to tell you.¡± ¡°What story?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. ¡°A long time ago, there was azy guy who wanted to fly, but he didn¡¯t put in the effort to cultivate, ¡± Dong Xi said immediately. ¡°So, he found a Junior Sister and asked her to cultivate so that she could carry thezy guy as she flew.¡± Song Qingfeng was speechless. ¡°Little girl, who are you talking about?¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°Second Senior Brother, you can¡¯t be like this!¡± Dong Xi said seriously. ¡°Other Junior Sisters have Deep Sea Flood Dragons as mounts. What about me¡­¡± Before she could finish, Song Qingfeng handed over a Demon Beast Bag. Dong Xi took out an egg from the bag and was speechless. Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say what this is¡­¡± Song Qingfeng came forward with great interest. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, do you know that ¡®blind openings¡¯ are popr these days?¡± ¡°Blind opening?¡± Dong Xi asked. Dong Xi gritted her teeth and almost could not hold it in. What the hell was this ¡®blind opening¡¯? The loot box was already so popr in the cultivation world? How could such a smart person like Second Senior Brother believe in such unreliable things? Dong Xi was very suspicious that this blind opening was Second Senior Brother¡¯s own creation. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. ¡°Blind opening means randomly choosing a demon beast egg and hatching it. It¡¯s said that it might give you a top-tier mount! It¡¯s the legendary Deep Sea Flood Dragon. Junior Sister, it¡¯s all up to your luck!¡± Dong Xi looked at the egg that was slightly smaller than a basketball in her hand. Although she was not sure what would hatch out of it, there was one thing that Dong Xi was sure of. This egg was definitely not a Deep Sea Flood Dragon! The Deep Sea Flood Dragon was a top-grade mount, and it was definitely not something Dong Xi could hatch at will. Dong Xi sighed softly. It did not matter. No matter what it was, it was good as long as it could be used as a means of transportation. ¡°Second Senior Brother, How do I hatch this demon beast egg?¡± asked Dong Xi curiously. Song Qingfeng threw the bag to Dong Xi and said, ¡°Take this bag and throw in a few spirit stones. This bag will help you hatch the eggs.¡± Dong Xi threw in five low-grade spirit stones, and it did not take long for the bag to absorb all of them. She threw in another five mid-grade spirit stones, and again, it did not take long for it to absorb all of them. The smile on Dong Xi¡¯s face was gone. She threw the bag to Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, I really can¡¯t afford this Demon Beast Bag. You should keep it for yourself¡­¡± At this rate of consumption, Dong Xi might as well go back and continue using the little green leaf. Song Qingfeng looked at the Demon Beast Bag that was thrown back and was very curious. What kind of demon beast would hatch from this egg? Song Qingfeng also knew that his luck had always been bad, so he wanted to test his Junior Sister¡¯s luck. Who knew that his Junior Sister clearly did not want to be a sucker. If Dong Xi did not hatch it, Song Qingfeng would have chosen it for nothing. ¡°Little Junior Sister,¡± Song Qingfeng said earnestly, ¡°although you need some spirit stones to hatch it, you can ride it after it hatches. That will save a lot of spirit stones. Don¡¯t you think so? ¡± Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng with a faint smile, obviously not falling for it. ¡°Second Senior Brother, although you¡¯re right, don¡¯t these newly hatched demon beasts need to be cared for? It needs to be fed, right?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°If it hatches a Taotie, won¡¯t it eat me as well?¡± Song Qingfeng frowned. This Little Junior Sister was too smart and much harder to deal with than Eldest Senior Brother and Junior Sister Chi Yan. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°if you hatch a Taotie, you¡¯ll make a big profit! Don¡¯t let your thoughts run wild, how could we possibly be so lucky? It¡¯s impossible.¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, you said that we can¡¯t be opportunistic. We shouldn¡¯t y this kind of game of probability. I¡¯d better be down-to-earth and wait for the day when Second Senior Brother catches a Deep Sea Flood Dragon.¡± ¡­ Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s impassiveness, Song Qingfeng could only helplessly take out a bag and throw it to Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pay for the spirit stones for the incubation. Look at how stingy you are.¡± Dong Xi looked at the familiar patterns on the bag. This bag seemed to be¡­ It¡¯s Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s spirit stones, right? Dong Xi blinked. Thinking of how her Eldest Senior Brother had lost so many spirit stones, she nodded and agreed. Dong Xi said worriedly, ¡°Second Senior Brother, no matter what it hatches, I can do whatever I want with this little demon beast, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Song Qingfeng nodded and said. Only then did Dong Xi nod her head. If she was not satisfied with the hatching, she could take it out and sell it. She had to earn some money. As for the Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s spirit stones, they were now back in Dong Xi¡¯s hands. It was really a pity. As expected, the heavens¡¯ will always reincarnate. Everything will go to whoever it belongs to in the end. Chapter 309 - 309 Traveling Together 309 Traveling Together Now that Dong Xi had so many spirit stones, she did not feel any heartache at all. She grabbed a handful and threw them into the bag. After saying goodbye to Song Qingfeng, Dong Xi hung the Demon Beast Bag on her body and walked back to her room with satisfaction. Before she could reach the door, she saw a huge creature sitting at the door from afar. Dong Xi walked closer and found that it was actually Senior Brother Tie Zhu. ¡°Senior Brother Tie Zhu,¡± Dong Xi said in astonishment. Tie Zhu heard the voice and immediately raised his head. When he saw Dong Xi, his eyes lit up. He said, ¡°Junior Sister!¡± Tie Zhu¡¯s gaze was as if he had seen some kind of treasure, making Dong Xi feel a little ufortable. ¡°Senior Brother, why are you here?¡± Dong Xi coughed a few times. Tie Zhu lowered his head and said, ¡°Junior Sister, I sent you a message, but you didn¡¯t reply¡­¡± His tone was filled with grievance, but when coupled with his huge body, it was somewhatical. Dong Xi immediately took out hermunication jade slip. Seeing the message on it, Dong Xi said, ¡°I was busy just now, so I didn¡¯t read the jade slip. Senior Brother, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Tie Zhuughed naively and scratched his head. He said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, it¡¯s just¡­ About the Body Refinement Pill¡­¡± After saying this, Tie Zhu sneered, looking a little silly. Dong Xi did not have many Body Refining Pills left. She could not refine any fifth-grade pills for the time being. Her two Senior Brothers would always refine two cauldrons of pills for her when they were in a good mood. Therefore, Dong Xi did not have the confidence to give an entire bottle to others. Dong Xi took out two pills and gave them to Tie Zhu. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, I don¡¯t have many Body Refining Pills left. After all, it¡¯s a fifth-grade pill. I can¡¯t refine it yet¡­¡± Tie Zhu held the two pills. He was surprised and at a loss for what to do. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, how many spirit stones do these cost? I¡¯ll give it to you now.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she knew that Tie Zhu had misunderstood. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯ll give you these two.¡± Tie Zhu shook his head. ¡°No, I can¡¯t take them. I¡¯m a coward, but I know that fifth-grade pills are very expensive.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, didn¡¯t you say that I¡¯m your biological sister?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Tie Zhu frowned and hesitated for a moment. He still said, ¡°I just can¡¯t. As an elder brother, I shouldn¡¯t take it for free.¡± This was also the first time Dong Xi had encountered such a stubborn person. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t have to give me spirit stones. Can you promise me one thing? These two Body Refinement Pills will be your reward.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Tie Zhu asked curiously. Dong Xi said, ¡°After a while, I might go to the Frost Ice Sea. However, I¡¯ve never traveled far before. I¡¯m a little worried about going alone. I wonder if Senior Brother has time to travel with me?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s purpose for going out was to train her body. She could find someone else, but it would waste some time. Tie Zhu, who was also a body cultivator and had good strength, naturally became the most suitable candidate. ¡°Frost Ice Sea?¡± Tie Zhu asked. Tie Zhu looked at Dong Xi in shock. He frowned, and Dong Xi guessed that Tie Zhu was in a difficult position. Tie Zhu said with some embarrassment, ¡°Junior Sister, I can¡¯t swim.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± If she did not know anything else, it would not matter. But when it came to swimming, Dong Xi had to talk about it. ¡°Senior Brother, you have to learn how to swim,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°I almost died twice because I didn¡¯t know how to swim. In order to avoid such a thing from happening again, I learned how to swim.¡± Tie Zhu raised his head and saw Dong Xi¡¯s serious expression. Tie Zhu knew that Dong Xi was not lying. He thought for a moment and nodded. Dong Xi continued, ¡°It¡¯s not a burden to have more skills. We don¡¯t cultivate so that we can stay in the Eastern Continent forever. When we travel in the future, we may encounter many difficulties. It would be best if we can avoid them in advance.¡± When Tie Zhu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, ¡°Junior Sister is right. I will start learning once I return. When do you want to leave?¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°It might take some time. Once it¡¯s confirmed, I¡¯ll send a message to Senior Brother. We¡¯ll confirm the time. What do you think?¡± Tie Zhu immediately agreed. He looked at the bottle with the two pills and said, ¡°Alright, since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take the pills.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Zhu thought for a moment and looked at Dong Xi with a silly smile again. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, two pills aren¡¯t enough for me. Do you know where I can buy Body Refining Pills?¡± Dong Xi thought about it and agreed. She could give two to Tie Zhu, but she could not keep giving him free pills. And ording to Tie Zhu¡¯s personality, he might not even want it if she gave it to him directly. ¡°Senior Brother, you can go to the Rainbow Store and inquire about it when you have time,¡± said Dong Xi. Chapter 310 - 310 He Would Never Miss Such an Opportunity 310 He Would Never Miss Such an Opportunity Although the store did not have Body Refinement Pills yet, Dong Xi could go to Second Senior Brother and give him a suggestionter. ording to Second Senior Brother¡¯s shrewdness, he would never miss such an opportunity. Tie Zhu nodded. He would ask when he had the time. After Tie Zhu left, Dong Xi entered the meditation room and told Song Qingfeng about the Body Refinement Pill through her jade slip. !! As soon as she sent it, the jade slip lit up. Dong Xi thought it was a message from her Second Senior Brother, but it turned out to be a message from Kong Xing. [Junior Sister, when are you free? Come to my ce.] Dong Xi typed a question mark and sent it over, and Kong Xing sent another message. [The Group Chat Array has been created. I need to modify your jade slip. Bring it with you.] Dong Xi, ¡°?!¡± After recovering from her shock, Dong Xi immediately sent a message. [Understood, Senior Brother. I¡¯ll be right there.] Dong Xi turned around and left the room, hurriedly running towards Kong Xing¡¯s residence. Not long after Kong Xing sent the message, Dong Xi arrived. ¡°You¡¯re quite fast,¡± Kong Xing said with a smile. Dong Xi took out the jade slip and respectfully handed it to Kong Xing. Dong Xi said, ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother! Senior Brother is amazing! It¡¯s only been a short while, and the formation is alreadypleted.¡± Kong Xing was also a little proud, but he quickly calmed down. He said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing much. I¡¯ll only be considered powerful after I¡¯ve studied and understood that formation disc of yours.¡± ¡°We each have our own uses,¡± Dong Xi shook her head. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be humble, Senior Brother.¡± Kong Xing took out a brush and began to drawplex runes on Dong Xi¡¯s jade slip with his spiritual power. When the runes were formed, Kong Xing quickly sent out two seals and imprinted the runes into the jade slip. After everything was done, Kong Xing inspected it before returning the jade slip to Dong Xi. ¡°Try it, Junior Sister,¡± said Kong Xing. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. She took the jade slip and inserted her spiritual Qi. The jade slip lit up. Dong Xi selected the lives of the Eldest Senior Brother and the Second Senior Brother and started a conversation. As expected, an interface of the three people chatting together appeared. Dong Xi sent a message. [Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, are you surprised? Are you surprised?] After sending the message, without waiting for the two Senior Brothers to reply, Dong Xi looked at Kong Xing. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, I don¡¯t know how to thank you¡­¡± Kong Xing waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I even ate your pills. There¡¯s nothing to thank me for. You helped me sell the pill recipe for such a high price. I should be the one thanking you.¡± When Dong Xi heard Kong Xing¡¯s words, he felt that the Senior Brothers beside him were all very honest. Except for Second Senior Brother. As expected, Second Senior Brother replied the fastest. [Little Junior Sister, how did you do that!?] Dong Xi smiled as she picked up the jade slip and replied. [It was Senior Brother Kong Xing who helped me add an array to the jade slip.] This was not the first time Song Qingfeng had heard the name ¡®Kong Xing¡¯. He thought about it for a moment and realized that Kong Xing was the one who had brought Dong Xi to learn the Iron Head Technique. However¡­ Kong Xing was a Buddhist cultivator, right? How did he know how to use formations? Seeing that Song Qingfeng did not reply, Dong Xi sent another message. Second Senior Brother, you know Senior Brother Kong Xing as well. He¡¯s the Senior Brother who sold us the Youth Pill recipe. Song Qingfeng, ¡°?? ¡± What the hell, what kind of talent was this? Why didn¡¯t theye into contact with each other before? Dong Xi thought for a moment and sent another message. [Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother Kong Xing and Senior Brother Tie Zhu are both body refiners. If they go to buy pills, can you give them a discount?] Song Qingfeng immediately replied. [Discount? Little Junior Sister, you¡¯re looking down on Second Senior Brother too much. In the future, I will take care of all of the pills that Kong Xing needs.] Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi felt that something was not right. Why was Second Senior Brother suddenly so generous? Song Qingfeng thought that he had outsmarted Dong Xi. He sent a message. [As long as Kong Xing is willing to hand over this array to me, not just the Body Refining Pill, all pills below grade-6 will be free of charge!] Dong Xi was silent. Second Senior Brother¡¯s n was so obvious that even an idiot would facepalm. Dong Xi still replied. [I¡¯ll ask Senior Brother Kong Xingter.] Song Qingfeng immediately replied. [If you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll go and talk to him myself.] Dong Xi told Kong Xing what Song Qingfeng said. Kong Xing was stunned. The reason why Kong Xing had researched this formation was to repay Junior Sister Dong Xi, but he had never thought that he would be able to exchange it for such good conditions. ¡°Sure!¡± Kong Xing immediately replied. After hesitating for a moment, even Kong Xing agreed. He even felt like he was disrespecting the art of alchemy by getting so many free pills this way. Dong Xi was also very happy. This was truly a win-win situation. ... Dong Xi had just told Song Qingfeng about Kong Xing¡¯s agreement when Eldest Senior Brother sent them a message. [Why can everyone else eat it for free? As your Senior Brother, why can¡¯t you give me pills for free too?] Chapter 311 - 311 It’s All Because of You 311 It¡¯s All Because of You The group of three was silent for a moment before Dong Xi remembered that this was a group chat. Eldest Senior Brother did not speak, but he could still see the messages. Now that he was caught by Eldest Senior Brother, Dong Xi was nervous for Second Senior Brother. Song Qingfeng was not afraid of Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s questioning at all. !! Song Qingfeng and Eldest Senior Brother had been at each other¡¯s throats for the past 200 years. This was nothing. Song Qingfeng sent a message. [Eldest Senior Brother, don¡¯t treat yourself as an outsider. I¡¯ll tell you the reason why I agreed to give free pills below grade-6. It¡¯s all because of you. After you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you can refine grade-6 pills. We still need you to refine those pills. I can¡¯t feel at ease if anyone else is doing this task.] Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi silently mourned for Second Senior Brother in her heart. He was too brave. He actually dared to say that. Did he forget that Eldest Senior Brother was also a sword cultivator? Last time, Dong Xi analyzed the swordsmanship with Eldest Senior Brother. Eldest Senior Brother was either refining pills or fighting every day. He like to call it a ¡®spar¡¯. Especially now, Second Brother was the best opponent to spar with. When Liang Yan saw the message, his expression turned ugly. Liang Yan replied. [You¡¯re the one treating me as an outsider. Why don¡¯t you spar with me tonight? That¡¯s not a big deal, right?] When Dong Xi saw this sentence in the group chat, she could not help butugh secretly. What did she just say? She had guessed it right. However, Dong Xi did not know that in the past 200 years, her two Senior Brothers had been like this. Second Senior Brother had been annoying Eldest Senior Brother since he was young. He wanted to anger Eldest Senior Brother every day. When Eldest Senior Brother was angry, he would fight with Second Senior Brother. Song Qingfeng replied immediately. [Do you think I¡¯m afraid? It¡¯s just a spar, right? It¡¯s just nice to let you see the new palm technique you¡¯ve learned.] After saying this, there were no more messages in the group chat. Dong Xi knew that the two Senior Brothers had probably gone to chat privately. At this moment, Song Qingfeng sent another message to Dong Xi. [Little Junior Sister, tell Kong Xing that I¡¯ll send someone to deliver the Rainbow Store¡¯s token another day. At that time, Kong Xing will take the token and can take any medicinal pills he wants when he visits the store. At the same time, tell Kong Xing to bring the array formation when he visits.] Dong Xi knew that the upgrade of themunication jade slip was a huge leap for the cultivation world. It was like how Dong Xi¡¯s cell phone had entered the smartphone era in her previous life. Humans were social animals, and no one would reject a few people chatting together. When the time came, Song Qingfeng only needed to mass-produce themunication jade slips that could be used for group chat and sell them to the entire cultivation world. Giving Kong Xing some free pills was nothing inparison to the profits of the upgradedmunication jade slips. Dong Xi ryed Song Qingfeng¡¯s words to Kong Xing. At this moment, Kong Xing also realized that something was amiss. Second Senior Brother of the Ningtian Sect should be someone from the Rainbow Store. An array formation could be exchanged for free pills. If he could research more array formations¡­ Dong Xi did not know what Kong Xing was thinking at this moment. After bidding farewell to Kong Xing, Dong Xi happily took the jade slip and left. On the way, she even pulled Chi Yan and Ke Xin into the group chat. Dong Xi happily greeted her two sisters. However, after waiting for a long time, no one paid any attention to her. Dong Xi could only sigh softly. It seemed that these two sisters were training in seclusion. Forget it. As youths, they should all work harder. Dong Xi returned to the meditation room and looked at the Demon Beast Bag. After thinking for a moment, she took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message anonymously in the square. [Fellow Daoists, have you ever hatched a demon beast egg blindly? Did anyone get something good?] New things would always attract countless people. After a while, someone started to reply to Dong Xi¡¯s question. [Blindly hatching a demon beast egg? Fellow Daoist, you much be rich!] [One demon beast egg costs 188 medium-grade spirit stones. If I had these spirit stones, wouldn¡¯t it be nice to buy a demon beast directly?] [You don¡¯t understand. It¡¯s boring to buy it directly. It¡¯s better to hatch one yourself.] [Would you still be so happy if you got a tier 1 ck Rat?] [Previous poster, are you here to make fun of me? What kind of rat is born from eggs?] [I have to answer this question. Previously, before I left, I paid respects to the Spirit Treasure Immortal and blindly hatched a Thunderbird.] [Really? I¡¯ll pray and worship the Spirit Treasure Immortal every day in the future.] [Everyone, let¡¯s pay our respects together!] ¡­ Dong Xi looked at these messy replies, put away the jade slip, and walked out. If Dong Xi remembered correctly, there was also a Spirit Treasure Immortal in Thunder Sound Temple. Oh, Immortal of Spirit Treasures, I am a devout and sincere believer. I am willing to willing to use the spiritual energy to exchange for a cute and powerful Deep Sea Flood Dragon! Dong Xi lit the thickest incense in the Spirit Treasure Immortal Pce, knelt down, and kowtowed. Then, in front of the Spirit Treasure Immortal, she put a few more spirit stones into the Demon Beast Bag, hoping that this method was correct and that she could get good ones. Chapter 312 - 312 Rearing Demonic Beasts? 312 Rearing Demonic Beasts? From then on, no matter where Dong Xi went, she would always bring the Demon Beast Bag with her. She was very careful, as if there really was a Deep Sea Flood Dragon inside. Not long after, Kong Xing also discovered this matter. Every time he went to learn the Iron Head Technique, Tie Zhu and Kong Xing would stand beside Dong Xi. Today, after ss, the three of them walked out together. Kong Xing looked at Dong Xi¡¯s Demon Beast Bag and said, ¡°Junior Sister, are you raising a demon beast?¡± Dong Xi first nodded, then shook her head. Kong Xing was a little confused. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Not yet. It¡¯s just an egg now. We¡¯ll only know what kind of demon beast it is when it hatches.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, can you let me take a look at the egg?¡± Kong Xing asked curiously. ¡°Maybe I can recognize what kind of egg it is.¡± Dong Xi nodded and took out the egg from inside and handed it to Kong Xing. He scanned the area with his spiritual Qi and could only determine that it was an earth-type demon beast. As for what kind of demon beast it was, he could not guess. There were so many demon beasts in this world. If they were easy to recognize, no one would do business blindly. Kong Xing could not recognize it, but he had other ways. He said, ¡°Junior Sister, have you heard of the Wishing Technique?¡± Dong Xi blinked and nodded lightly. She had indeed heard of this in her previous life. ¡°I know a little about it,¡± Kong Xing said after thinking for a moment. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi even suspected that she had misheard. She looked at Kong Xing in surprise and said, ¡°Senior Brother, you are a Buddhist.¡± As a Buddhist, he actually learned the art of Wishing. Was this good? Moreover, this cultivation technique was supposed to be learned by cultivators from Daoist sects. Kong Xing rubbed his bald head and whispered, ¡°Junior Sister, didn¡¯t you say that having more skills wouldn¡¯t be a burden?¡± Dong Xi immediately fell silent. At this moment, Dong Xi also understood that she should not talk too much about the great principles. If she talked too much, she would be in trouble. Dong Xi remained silent, not knowing what to say. After a long silence, she said, ¡°Senior Brother, let¡¯s talk about this Wishing Technique first.¡± Kong Xing smiled and raised his head, only to see Tie Zhu curiously approach him. Kong Xing said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m not lying. To be honest, the Art of Wishing is profound. I only know a little.¡± In her previous life, Dong Xi had heard others talk about it. It was said that the Wishing Thnique came from the Book of Luban. It could be used to lower Yin energy, enter the devil, chant spells, and so on. It was said to be a special God, but it had long been ssified as feudal superstition. Dong Xi was very curious, so she investigated this Wishing Technique. It was said that people who learned this would start to get bad luck. It was also because of this that the technique slowly disappeared in her previous life. Thinking of the bad luck, Dong Xi looked at Kong Xing, and her expression became a little awkward. Kong Xing turned around and saw Dong Xi¡¯s conflicted expression. Kong Xing said, ¡°Why the long face?¡± Dong Xi hesitated for a moment, then said, ¡°Senior Brother, have you ever heard anyone talk about bad luck?¡± When Kong Xing heard this, he smiled and said, ¡°Junior Sister, there may be such talks, but it¡¯s just a legend.¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Kong Xing continued, ¡°Wishing Technique, I only know a little incantation. I can help you bless this demon beast egg. It might be useful, but it might not.¡± As Kong Xing spoke, heughed. After a pause, he said, ¡°No one can say for sure.¡± ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡± Dong Xi nodded. Kong Xing brought Dong Xi to his meditation room. Tie Zhu was also very interested, so he followed them to his room. After entering the room, Kong Xing looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi immediately understood and took down the Demon Beast Bag before handing the demon beast egg to Kong Xing. Kong Xing sat down cross-legged and carefully ced the demon beast egg in front of him. The palms of Kong Xing¡¯s hands were facing each other, separated by an inch, and the fingertips were opposite each other. ¡°Heavenly Fire against the Moon, Earth Fire against the Sun¡­¡± Dong Xi listened attentively, her eyes never leaving the demon beast egg. However, she found that the demon beast egg had not changed at all. Dong Xi rested her chin on her hands. Perhaps the inside of the demon beast egg had already begun to change. Tie Zhu looked drowsy as he listened to the incantation. Dong Xi looked at Kong Xing, the monk, and began to recite the Daoist incantation. Dong Xi felt that it was a little funny. After Kong Xing finished reciting the incantation, he retracted his hand and put his palms together. Kong Xing said, ¡°Amitabha, I¡¯m sorry.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and said, ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t have to feel guilty. If it¡¯s really so useful, even the Buddha will want to learn it.¡± Kong Xing widened his eyes and said with a familiar look. ¡°You can¡¯t be rude.¡± Hearing his tone, Dong Xi knew that Kong Xing was only joking. Chapter 313 - 313 Is That All? 313 Is That All? As the two of them spoke, Tie Zhu also woke up. He looked at the two of them and said, ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Kong Xing nodded and returned the demon beast egg to Dong Xi. Dong Xi happily took the demon beast egg and put it back into the Demon Beast Bag again. Then, she threw in two handfuls of spirit stones. Tie Zhu and Kong Xing looked at Dong Xi¡¯s actions. Their hearts ached, and they were also very curious about what woulde out of this demon beast egg in the end. Dong Xi still had apetition in the afternoon, so she did not stay any longer. She bid farewell to Kong Xing and left. As soon as Dong Xi and Tie Zhu left, Kong Xing received a voice transmission talisman from his Master, Master Zhi Xian. ¡°Kong Xing,e to me,¡± said Master Zhi Xian. Kong Xing was instantly terrified, afraid that his Master would find out that he had secretly used the Wishing Technique. The journey that originally took less than 15 minutes had taken Kong Xing an hour. On the way, he was thinking about how to tell his Master. As for foreign spell techniques, he naturally had to learn them if they were useful. No matter how much Kong Xing hesitated, the time hade. Kong Xing entered his Master¡¯s courtyard and sighed. He thought that during this period of time, his Iron Head Technique had been cultivated quite well. How many times should he be able to withstand his Master¡¯s smacking? Kong Xing entered the room. His Master was sitting by the window. The sunlight shone into the room and happened to shine on his Master¡¯s bald head. It was also because of this that his Master¡¯s face became even more dignified. Kong Xing immediately went forward and sped his hands together to salute. Kong Xing said, ¡°Master, disciple has arrived.¡± Master Zhixian opened his eyes and looked at Kong Xing seriously. Master Zhixian said, ¡°Kong Xing, I heard that you have been spending a lot of time with Fairy Dong Xi of the Ningtian Sect?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Master,¡± replied Kong Xing honestly. After getting to know Dong Xi, Kong Xing¡¯s wallet became thicker and thicker, and he did not have to worry about resources anymore. Kong Xing felt that it was a very good thing to be able to get to know Dong Xi. Even Master Xuan Chen had said that Dong Xi had a Buddhist nature. Kong Xing was just about to praise Dong Xi to his Master when he saw his Master frown. Master Zhi Xian said, ¡°Kong Xing, do you remember the Eight Precepts of Buddhism?¡± ¡°I remember it in my heart,¡± Kong Xing said with his head lowered. ¡°You¡¯re still young, and your mind hasn¡¯t settled down yet. In the future, stay away from women¡­¡± Master Zhi Xian said seriously. Only now did Kong Xing understand what his Master was trying to tell him. Kong Xing was stunned. He wanted to burst outughting. It was as if what his Master said was ridiculous. ¡°Master, Dong Xi and I are like brothers. She¡¯s not a woman to me!¡± Kong Xing said. ¡°Her Iron Head Technique is even better than mine!¡± Master Zhixian: ¡°? ¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Master Zhi Xian frowned. ¡°Iron Head Technique?¡± This was the first time Master Zhi Xian had heard of a Fairy practicing the Iron Head Technique. After all, this technique¡­ In any case, even Master Zhi Xian did not persevere when he learned the technique. However, Buddhist cultivators had their own ways of progression. Zhi Xian was not an arhat. It did not matter whether he knew the Iron Head Technique or not. Kong Xing nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s the Iron Head Technique. Martial Uncle Wang Chi thought that Dong Xi would only go once. He didn¡¯t expect that Dong Xi woulde three times!¡± After saying this, Kong Xing paused for a moment and continued,¡±Furthermore, Master Xuan Chen also said that Dong Xi has the Buddha¡¯s nature and wanted to take her as his disciple. However, he heard that Dong Xi is the disciple of Master Lingxu and Master Yijian, so he didn¡¯t take her as his disciple. ¡± Zhi Xian was speechless. Now that he said it, this girl was really great. In the future, this little girl could really be an expert and support Kong Xing. This way, they could walk further on the path of cultivation. Thinking of this, Zhi Xian sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. You¡¯re not children. You all have your own ideas. I can¡¯t control you. You can do whatever you want.¡± ¡­ Thispetition was Dong Xi¡¯s fourth round. Before Dong Xi came, she had specially used a pen and paper to calcte her own fortune. The divination was not very good. Dong Xi probably stopped here. Dong Xi was a little disciple at the 7th level of Qi Refinement. Facing a group of Senior Brothers and Sisters at the 11th or 12th level of Qi Refinement, she was indeed too weak. However, she did not know who her opponent was today. Dong Xi arrived at the arena. Looking at the people on the stage, Dong Xi immediately smiled. What a coincidence! Today¡¯s opponent was Senior Sister Gu Yao. Previously, during the sect selection, Dong Xi had lost to Senior Sister Gu Yao. It had not been long since then. If Dong Xi wanted to turn the tables, it was close to impossible. Although Dong Xi had also improved, she was not the only one who had improved. Dong Xi looked at Senior Sister Gu Yao on the stage and found that she was even thinner than when she first came here. Senior Sister¡¯s straight back was like a green bamboo or a sharp sword. It seemed that during this period of time, Senior Sister Gu Yao had been cultivating very hard. Chapter 314 - 314 Observation 314 Observation Today, there were a lot of people below the arena, which also reflected that Senior Sister Gu Yao was very popr. However, Dong Xi did not know that many of these people were here to see her. Dong Xi was the only one who had reached the 7th level of Qi Refinement. Everyone said that Dong Xi was the dark horse of thispetition and was very interesting. Qian Yun was also in the crowd. He had originally agreed to spar with his fellow disciples. However, when he heard that Dong Xi was going topete today, Qian Yun stood up his fellow disciples and came here to observe. There was no reason. He just wanted to see how strong Junior Sister Dong Xi was. Speaking of which, Dong Xi had often sparred with Qian Yun before. However, Dong Xi was only doing it to refine her body. Most of the time, she was beaten up passively and did not show her strength at all. Dong Xi climbed onto the arena and waved at Senior Sister Gu Yao. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister Gu Yao, long time no see. You¡¯ve be even more beautiful.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words resonated with the crowd below the stage, and they all nodded. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s expression, Gu Yao¡¯s serious expression rxed and revealed a smile. Gu Yao said, ¡°You¡¯re so talkative.¡± Gu Yao only knew that her opponent was Dong Xi after seeing the screen. She did not expect such a coincidence. Gu Yao did not underestimate her Junior Sister Dong Xi. She improved very quickly, so every time shepeted with Dong Xi, Gu Yao would try her best. Although Gu Yao liked this Junior Sister very much, no swordsman liked to be taken lightly. They treated eachpetition seriously as a form of respect for swordsmen. Dong Xi took out a long sword. Qian Yun¡¯s eyes widened when she saw the sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Dong Xi finally took out her sword. When Dong Xi and Qian Yun were sparring, she had been using the iron sword just to be struck by lightning. In order to cultivate, Junior Sister Dong Xi really used all sorts of methods. ¡°I¡¯ve improved a little during this period of time. Please enlighten me, Senior Sister.¡± Dong Xi cupped her fists and said respectfully. Gu Yao also took out her long sword and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you taught me how to borrow power previously, and I also have some insights. Today, please help me guide you.¡± The two of them attacked at the same time. Their starting moves were very simr. Two beauties with different styles attacked at the same time. At this moment, their auras were unexpectedly harmonious. Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s control of the sword was very good. In addition to Dong Xi¡¯s guidance in borrowing momentum, Gu Yao had alsoprehended a little. Her sword moves were like an inescapable. Dong Xi¡¯s long sword stabbed out halfway, but she could no longer move. Dong Xi sighed in her heart. Senior Sister Gu Yao was indeed awesome. Her hand control of the sword was truly amazing. Dong Xi withdrew her sword and changed her stance, preparing her attack. However, when she moved, she found that her path had already been blocked by Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s Sword Qi. Dong Xi could only return to the starting point and use the first move of the sword technique to forcefully sh out a path. Senior Sister Gu Yao quickly withdrew her sword move and blocked Dong Xi¡¯s sword move. At this moment, Dong Xi dodged in a sh. Leaving the pressure of the sword move, Dong Xi let out a breath and began to think. Dong Xi suddenly understood. Martial artspetitions were like chess. Some people would be rash and reckless, like Senior Brother Tie Zhu. Some people would be cautious, like Senior Sister Gu Yao. When Gu Yao attacked, she already knew where Dong Xi would retreat to, so she blocked off all the paths of retreat in advance. Dong Xi finally understood. She had been too reckless before. It turned out that thepetition was not only about cultivation and spells, but also about brains. Perhaps it was because Senior Sister Gu Yao was smart that she could control the sword so well. Dong Xi raised the sword in her hand and looked at Gu Yao again. Gu Yao could clearly feel that Dong Xi¡¯s aura had changed, and she knew that Dong Xi had be serious. Dong Xi¡¯s sword technique split into two. One was hidden in the shadow of a sword. Gu Yao blocked the first sword attack, and Dong Xi quickly swung the second sword. Dong Xi attacked very quickly, and the two of them fought faster and faster, dazzling everyone. In a collision, everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s sword make a crisp sound. ¡°It¡¯s broken,¡± said Qian Yun nervously. If a swordsman did not have a sword, wouldn¡¯t she be crippled? Many people were nervous for Dong Xi, but a portion of them said otherwise. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright. Junior Sister Dong Xi still has two moves that she can use. Junior Sister Dong Xi can do it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Junior Sister Dong Xi is not only a sword cultivator, but she also has powerful spells.¡± ¡°Think about it, Dong Xi is now facing a swordsman. Would Gu Yao give Dong Xi time to cast a spell?¡± ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique isn¡¯t bad either. If you want to dodge, you might be able to.¡± ¡­ Everyone started arguing. Gu Yao saw that Dong Xi¡¯s sword had broken and was about to stop when she realized that Dong Xi was very happy. The sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand began to change. The originally wide sword body slowly became longer, and the entire long sword was dyed purple. Seeing the change, Dong Xi was very happy. She held it tightly in her hand and prepared to continue the duel. Chapter 315 - 315 Is This Your True Strength? 315 Is This Your True Strength? Two purple longswords appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s hands. Everyone started discussing in shock. ¡°What is this sword? How did it be two?¡± ¡°It looks very powerful. Junior Sister Dong Xi can turn defeat into victory?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything more. We all know that treasures that can change their forms are at least Treasured Tools.¡± !! ¡°I suddenly feel a little envious. She could use a Treasured Tool in the Qi Refinement stage. I¡¯m a Senior Brother who is already at the Golden Core stage, but I only have a low-grade tool.¡± ¡­ Gu Yao looked at the sword in Dong Xi¡¯s hand and said with a smile, ¡°Junior Sister, is this your true strength?¡± She had never heard of Dong Xi¡¯s second sword. Dong Xi had been hiding it until today. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Dong Xi had hidden it well. Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°Senior Sister, it¡¯s not that exaggerated. Just think of it like¡­ I¡¯m struggling on the verge of death.¡± ¡°Junior Sister is modest,¡± Gu Yao said in surprise. Gu Yao knew that Dong Xi had not used her Central ins spells or the seal. Dong Xi held the two swords and adjusted to the weight. Then, she looked at Gu Yao confidently and said, ¡°Please enlighten me, Senior Sister.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll make my move.¡± Gu Yao raised the sword in her hand. Seeing Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s serious expression, Dong Xi immediately got ready. Dong Xi immediately sensed that something was wrong. Dong Xi subconsciously used her spiritual energy to cover herself with a protective barrier. Ding¡­ A tiny Sword Qi collided with the protective shield. Dong Xi immediately became alert and focused to the extreme. If it was not for her sixth sense, Dong Xi would have lost already. Dong Xi frowned as she looked at Senior Sister Gu Yao. A streak of Sword Qi swam around Senior Sister Gu Yao, as if adding a mysterious halo to her. A cool breeze blew past, and Senior Sister Gu Yao¡¯s ck hair moved slightly. Gu Yao smiled and said, ¡°Very vignt.¡± Dong Xi did not have time to say anything before her gaze was attracted by the Sword Qi around Senior Sister Gu Yao. Sword Qi? Senior Sister Gu Yao actually had a trump card as well. Senior Sister Gu Yao was only a few years older than Dong Xi, but she actually had this level of Sword Qi? Dong Xi was shocked. The impetuous emotions that she had just felt seemed to have been pulled down by an invisible hand. Dong Xi was a little lucky, and her cultivation speed was not bad. However, there was always someone better than her. While cultivating, one would not forget their original intention¡­ What was her original intention? Dong Xi narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, a long sword appeared in front of her and stabbed toward Dong Xi¡¯s heart. Dong Xi wanted to dodge, but she was unable to do so¡­ That¡¯s right, Dong Xi¡¯s original intention was to live on. Everything Dong Xi had done was not for the sake of being praised, nor was it for the sake of bing famous. She just wanted to survive. However, looking at all the living beings in the world, which one of them did not want to live? Mayflies lived and died in the blink of an eye for humans. Mortals only lived for a hundred years, but Immortals in the cultivation world only lived for a moment. These cultivators seemed to have lived for hundreds of thousands of years longer than ordinary people, but in the long period of time, it was just a small ripple. ¡­ When Gu Yao¡¯s Sword Qi reached Dong Xi, she realized that Dong Xi¡¯s condition was not right and immediately stopped. As expected, in the next second, Dong Xi sat cross-legged on the stage. The heaven and earth Spiritual energy was like a flood that rushed towards Dong Xi, washing away her meridians, flesh, and even¡­ her spirit root. At this moment, the figure in front of Dong Xi slowly faded. The face and figure that Dong Xi thought she would never forget in her life also began to blur. Dong Xi was a little dizzy as she floated in the void, her entire body drifting with the flow. Dong Xi did not know how long this state wouldst, but sooner orter, Dong Xi would reach the end. Dong Xi opened her eyes and found that she was still in the arena. There were also cultivators meditating below the arena. Dong Xi could not believe it. She actually had an Epiphany on the arena?! Dong Xi blinked her eyes as she looked around for Senior Sister Gu Yao. As soon as this thought appeared, the scene of the arena appeared in her mind, without her even turning around. Dong Xi was stunned. This was¡­ Divine Sense? Only cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage would have Divine Sense? Dong Xi was only at the Qi Refinement stage¡­ Something was wrong? 9th level of Qi Refinement? Dong Xi clicked her tongue. No wonder everyone wanted to have an Epiphany. This Epiphany would save them a lot of time to cultivate. At this moment, Dong Xi realized that Senior Sister Gu Yao was not in the arena. Dong Xi felt annoyed. She stood up and cast a cleaning spell on herself, looking around. Why wasn¡¯t Senior Sister Gu Yao here? Dong Xi did not know that during this period of Enlightenment, a lot of time had passed. Even the people in the crowd were different. Some of them had already started their closed-door cultivation because of Dong Xi¡¯s Enlightenment. Some of them had just arrived, so they were meditating below. ... Chapter 316 - 316 What a Good Life 316 What a Good Life In a ce where Dong Xi could not see, a few Elders were also meditating. Enlightenment was theprehension of the Heavenly Dao and was not affected by the cultivation realm. The Elders might be able to gain something from theprehension. The Elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion looked at Master Yi Kun of the Ningtian Sect. The Elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion said enviously, ¡°Ningtian Sect, what a good life.¡± Master Yi Kun smiled without hiding it, as if he was the one who wasprehending it. !! ¡°This is all thanks to your Heavenly Secret Pavilion,¡± said Yi Kun. Master Yi Kun thought to himself, ¡®If these old guys knew that he had an Epiphany in Fotai City for half a year, would their jaws drop?¡¯ Just thinking about this, Master Yi Kun was secretly delighted. ¡°This child has a bright future ahead of her,¡± said Xuan Chen. ¡°Please guide her well. We must not let such a talent go astray.¡± Master Yi Kun knew Master Xuan Chen¡¯s good intentions, but he was unwilling to listen. Master Yi Kun said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This girl canprehend the Heavenly Dao at such a young age. It can be seen that she is very clear. From her state of mind, if there are no major changes, she definitely won¡¯t make a mistake.¡± ¡°That¡¯s for the best,¡± said Master Xuan Chen. The Green Cloud Sect Elder who was standing at the side had mixed feelings. He could only me himself for not having Dong Xi among the disciples of the Ningtian Sect that he had intercepted and killed half a year ago. He had paid such a huge price,pensated the Ningtian Sect with so many spirit stones and treasures, and even sacrificed a Half Immortal Artifact to kill those disciples who had nothing to do with the overall situation? How hateful. ¡°The road of Immortal cultivation is still very long. I wonder if Daoist Master Yi Kun heard of a particr saying?¡± the Elder of the Green Cloud Sect asked. Master Yi Kun looked at the Green Cloud Sect Elder warningly, but the Green Cloud Sect Elder continued, ¡°The heavens are jealous of talents. With such talent, I wonder if she can withstand the Golden Core Lightning Tribtion.¡± Master Yi Kun was also a sword cultivator. As a sword cultivator, how could he endure such provocation? Yi Kun raised his hand and a Sword Qi attacked the Green Cloud Sect Elder. Daoist Master Yi Kun gritted his teeth and said angrily, ¡°If no one teached you how to conduct yourself properly, I can teach you!¡± The Green Cloud Sect Elder immediately took out a book and said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say who¡¯s the one who teaches who.¡± Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Master Xuan Chen said, ¡°Don¡¯t do anything. She¡¯s awake.¡± Xuan Chen did not say who it was, but everyone understood. Everyone looked at the arena at the same time and saw that Dong Xi had already stood up and cast a cleaning spell. Master Xuan Chen was the first to react. He disappeared from the clouds and appeared on the arena. When Dong Xi saw the monk who had suddenly appeared, she was stunned. She did not seem to know this person. ¡°Little girl,¡± Master Xuan Chen said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m Master Xuan Chen of Thunder Sound Temple. You¡¯ve been Enlightened for three months. This arena has been sealed along with you for three months.¡± Dong Xi had not expected this person to be the chatterbox that Senior Brother Kong Xing had been talking about. Dong Xi was somewhat surprised. When he heard that the arena had been sealed for three months, Dong Xi said somewhat embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Master Xuan Chen said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to apologize. Everything is fated and has its own cause and effect. To be able to gain Enlightenment here means that you are very fated with the Buddhist Sect¡­¡± When Master Yi Kun heard Xuan Chen¡¯s words, she immediately realized that something was wrong. This old monk was really something. He actually poached people in front of Master Yi Kun? She even called her a ¡®little girl¡¯, making her seem so close to her? This old man! If Xuan Chen really poached Dong Xi away, the Sect Master would shave Yi Kun¡¯s head when he returned! Master Yi Kun hurriedlynded on the arena and interrupted Xuan Chen¡¯s words. Master Yi Kun said, ¡°Little Xi, you suddenly had an Epiphany in thispetition. It¡¯s all thanks to your Senior Sister Gu Yao that she stopped. Otherwise, you would definitely have won. After the discussion of the Elders, we have decided to give Gu Yao the victory. Do you have any objections?¡± Dong Xi looked at Master Yi Kun. Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°No, I don¡¯t have any objections at all. Senior Sister Gu Yao already has Sword Qi. I can¡¯t beat her at all.¡± Dong Xi knew her limits. She was at the 9th level of Qi Refinement stage, so she might be able to fight her. However, she was at the 7th level of Qi Refinement stage, so she was no match for Senior Sister Gu Yao. ¡°Not bad, little girl,¡± said Daoist Master Yi Kun with a smile. ¡°Come, follow me back. I¡¯ll help you consolidate your cultivation realm.¡± Everyone knew that there was no problem withprehending and increasing the cultivation realm. There was no need to consolidate it. Master Yi Kun said this because he wanted to hide Dong Xi away, so that these old things would not try to poach her. Everyone was very clear in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do. They could only watch as Daoist Master Yi Kun took Dong Xi away. On the way, Dong Xi said, ¡°Martial Uncle, three months have passed. Has thepetition ended?¡± Chapter 317 - 317 A Prolonged Battle 317 A Prolonged Battle Daoist Master Yi Kun said, ¡°It¡¯s not over yet. You¡¯ve upied one of the arenas, so the progress has slowed down. The Qi Refinement stagepetition has just ended. If you woke up a few days earlier, you could still watch the finals. The Golden Core stagepetition is very slow. Now, we¡¯re about to have the top 3pete. I think we can go back after this round.¡± As thepetition progressed, the difference in cultivation between everyone was about the same. Thepetition allowed them to eat pills and use magic tools. Everyone was in a protracted battle. It was normal for apetition tost for a few days. A few days was just a moment for cultivators. No one cared. Top 3? Dong Xi immediately perked up and said, ¡°My two Senior Brothers¡­¡± !! Daoist Master Yi Kun looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°They¡¯re stillpeting. You don¡¯t have to worry about them.¡± Liang Yan had been in thete Golden Core stage for many years. He might have already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. These young people were all very shrewd and liked to hide their true strength. In addition, Liang Yan had alsoprehended his own sword path, so he was very difficult to deal with. And Song Qingfeng¡­ Even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would have a headache fighting against Song Qingfeng with all his treasures. Dong Xi immediately heaved a sigh of relief and followed Yi Kun to the meditation room. Yi Kun sat down and said, ¡°Little Xi, you¡¯veprehended the Dao of Time?¡± Dong Xi shook her head. Daoist Master Yi Kun thought that he had guessed wrong. Dong Xi said honestly, ¡°I¡¯m not sure either.¡± If one had to say, Dong Xi felt that she wasprehending the Dao of Survival. Daoist Master Yi Kun told Dong Xi to stay away from the other Sect Elders for the next few days because they did not have any good intentions. In the end, he told Dong Xi to leave. Dong Xi came out and ran straight to the Golden Corepetition. This was the Golden Core stagepetition, and the Qi Refining stage disciples¡¯ cultivation was too low, so they could not see anything. However, Dong Xi still wanted to cheer for her two Senior Brothers. Dong Xi rushed to Second Brother¡¯s arena first. Song Qingfeng was wearing a long robe that was flowing with precious energy. Coupled with his outstanding appearance, he looked even more handsome. Song Qingfeng was still using a fan. His opponent was a disciple in the perfected Golded Core stage. Dong Xi could not see the opponent¡¯s moves clearly. She could only see crackling lights asionally appear on Song Qingfeng¡¯s body. It was as he was being attacked by firecrackers. After the light disappeared, Song Qingfeng waved his fan and threw out many high-grade talismans. Dong Xi could not help but sigh. This style of fighting was really heroic, but it was boring. The opponent could not break through Song Qingfeng¡¯s defense at all. Dong Xi squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the next arena, where the Eldest Senior Brother was. Eldest Senior Brother was still wearing the Ningtian Sect uniform. Dong Xi also noticed that there was a faint light on it. Dong Xi pouted. Sure enough, this was also a special favor given by the Sect Master. Dong Xi¡¯s guess was correct. The Sect Master would not be unprepared. Although they were both wearing sect uniforms, it was apletely different matter. Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s clothes were probably augmented with all kinds of array formations. They were no longer ordinary sect clothes. His opponent was a Green Cloud Sect disciple. The Ningtian Sect had been suppressed by the Green Cloud Sect for so long, and he even attacked a Ningtian Sect disciple. Liang Yan did not hold back at all in his battle. However, the other party was not a kind person. Qi Rui¡¯s cultivation was at the perfected Golden Core Realm, just one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm. Many Qing-Yun Sect disciples came to cheer for Qi Rui. There were also many disciples from the Ningtian Sect who cheered for Liang Yan. ¡°Go!¡± Dong Xi stepped forward and shouted, ¡°Go, Eldest Senior Brother!¡± When Liang Yan heard the sound, he knew that Little Junior Sister had woken up. Little Junior Sister¡¯s Epiphany was not short. Dong Xi stood below the arena and continued to shout, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, you can do it! It doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t beat him. At the very least, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Liang Yan was speechless. Liang Yan retracted his sword and kicked Qi Rui. Can¡¯t beat him? Swordsmen never give up! When Liang Yan kicked, he did not forget to re at Dong Xi. Dong Xi acted as if she did not see it and continued to shout, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother is mighty! I¡¯m cheering for you!¡± Qi Rui was not weak to begin with. He flipped over and dodged Liang Yan¡¯s kick. He raised his hand and a book floated in the air. Dong Xi looked over curiously. This was the first time she saw a book cultivator. Who knows what books these Green Cloud Sect people read every day? Liang Yan turned his wrist, and red spiritual energy filled the long sword. mes danced on the long sword, and one could tell that it was powerful just by looking at it. Dong Xi recalled that when he saw the sword of his Eldest Senior Brother in Fotai City, she had been in a state of Enlightenment for half a year. Now that she saw it again, could she get another Enlightenment¡­ Hehe¡­ Dong Xi rubbed her hands together excitedly. She was looking forward to thepetition. Qi Rui calmly reached out and flipped open the book. He flipped through more than ten pages before stopping. Dong Xi looked at this scene. Was this studying like a cker? Flipping through a dozen pages with a wave of his hand? Chapter 318 - 318 Sounds Very Powerful 318 Sounds Very Powerful In an instant, Qi Rui formed aplicated seal. His eyes widened as he shouted, ¡°Sacrifice!¡± Dong Xi had been looking at the arena seriously. She was sure that she did not blink, but the two people on the arena had disappeared just like that? Before Dong Xi could be puzzled for long, the enthusiastic audience started to exin. ¡°You don¡¯t know this. This is our Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s Earth Mark Prison!¡± !! This name sounded very powerful. The Green Cloud Sect disciple who spoke had a look of sharing honor and disgrace, as if he was the one who used this move. A few honest people began to ask. Actually, there was no need to ask. This guy would tell them himself. ¡°This Earth Mark Prison is to bring people into their own Domain. Once they break the Domain, they cane out,¡± said the Green Cloud Sect disciple. As he spoke, the Green Cloud Sect disciple gloated. After a pause, the Green Cloud Sect disciple said again, ¡°In this Domain, Eldest Senior Brother is a God. As long as he enters, even if his opponent doesn¡¯t die, he¡¯ll be severely injured.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she could not help butugh. He had seen people who liked to brag, but he had never seen someone who was so willing to brag. How could there be such a crushing move when the two of them were of simr strength? Wouldn¡¯t that be an Immortal technique? From Dong Xi¡¯s point of view, it might be a little troublesome for Eldest Senior Brother to be brought into this Domain, but it was not to the extent that he would be severely injured even if he did not die¡­ It was impossible. What Dong Xi did not know was that Liang Yan was having a tough time in the Domain. A book appeared in front of Liang Yan. It looked like the book in Qi Rui¡¯s hands. ¡°Don¡¯t deceive yourself when you¡¯re sincere¡­¡± an ethereal voice said. Liang Yan was confused. After three breaths, Liang Yan did not reply. A ruler appeared out of thin air and flew towards Liang Yan. Liang Yan smiled when he saw the ruler. He might not be able to memorize, but he definitely had no problem fighting. Liang Yan rushed forward with his sword in hand. Strangely, when the ruler and the sword collided, Liang Yan felt a sudden pain in his palm and almost dropped the sword. Liang Yan observed his surroundings for a moment, but all he could see was an orange glow. He could not see Qi Rui at all. ¡°You¡¯re ying tricks,¡± Liang Yan said. Liang Yan used the fourth move of his sword towards the void. Liang Yan was at the Golden Core stage, so the power he used was much stronger than Dong Xi. Dong Xi, who was below the arena, could clearly feel the arena¡¯s protective shield shaking a few times. Dong Xi opened her eyes wide and looked towards the arena, but she still did not see Liang Yan. Dong Xi lowered her head in disappointment. The disciples of the Green Cloud Sect began to speak arrogantly. ¡°It¡¯s useless to struggle. The Eldest Senior Brother of the Ningtian Sect will definitely lose. Our Eldest Senior Brother is already in the perfected Golded Core stage, while the Eldest Senior Brother of the Ningtian Sect is only in thete Golden Core stage. He can¡¯t beat him at all!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, your Ningtian Sect will always be number two!¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± ¡­ Dong Xi and the disciples of the Ningtian Sect were extremely angry. Everyone clenched their fists. Dong Xi looked at the arena and gritted her teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t speak too early. Thepetition hasn¡¯t ended, and none of you have won.¡± Everyone from the Green Cloud Sect mocked, ¡°You guys continue to be stubborn. Senior Brother Qi Rui is number one in the Golden Core stage. There¡¯s no need to doubt this.¡± ¡°So what?¡± the Ningtian Sect disciples immediately said. ¡°He didn¡¯te out either. Maybe his neck was slit by Senior Brother Liang Yan.¡± The people of the Green Cloud Sect immediately roared, ¡°Bullsh*t! Senior Brother Qi Rui¡¯s Domain still exists!¡± ¡­ Liang Yan did not know that they were arguing about who would win. Liang Yan heard the ethereal voice asking questions again. Ling Yan calmly put away his long sword and cast a spell. The mes were directed at the book. This time, the ruler did not appear to attack Liang Yan. The book quickly dodged the fireball attack. Liang Yan suddenly understood that attacking the book was the right move. It was just a book. If it was burned, so be it. Liang Yan threw fire-type spells at the books again and again. Qi Rui, who was in the air, had a very bad expression. In Qi Rui¡¯s eyes, Liang Yan was a boorish man who did not even answer his questions and went back to attacking. Why did this guy not answer the questions properly? If Liang Yan kept thinking about answering the questions, he would be addicted to this ce. This Domain also existed by confusing the other party. Humans could not answer all questions, but as long as they encountered a difficult problem, they would always think about it. However, Liang Yan did not seem like he cared about the problem at all. He was toozy to even think. Qi Rui had never seen such a person before. Qi Rui controlled the book to dodge Liang Yan¡¯s attack while he started reading the book again. Along with this poem, massive snowkes appeared in the void. Any one of them was lethal. When Liang Yan saw this scene, he immediately raised his hand and formed a seal. Liang Yan said, ¡°Sky Full of mes.¡± Chapter 319 - 319 What’s the Dog Barking For? 319 What¡¯s the Dog Barking For? A sea of fire suddenly appeared in the sky, and then, like a meteor shower, they fell down one by one. The mes and snowkes collided, creating a series of sounds. The huge energies collided, and the Domain could no longer be maintained. In the end, it shattered. When the noisy crowd heard the noise, they immediately looked at the arena. When they saw Liang Yan, the people from the Ningtian Sect immediately shouted. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother has broken through the Domain.¡± ¡°Green Cloud Sect, why are you still barking?¡± The people from the Green Cloud Sect were unwilling to be outdone and shouted one after another. ¡°So what if you¡¯re out? I¡¯ll deal with you guys. What do you need to look at?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, your Ningtian Sect will definitely lose. Our Eldest Senior Brother is the best.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi shielded the surrounding noise and looked at Eldest Senior Brother who was standing in the arena, letting out a sigh of relief. Not bad. He did not have any injuries and could continue fighting. After that, Dong Xi was a little annoyed. How could he have forgotten to ce her bet on Eldest Senior Brother? It was a mistake. Dong Xi had a mysterious faith in Eldest Senior Brother that he would definitely win. Qi Ruinded from the sky, still holding a book in his hand, looking very sanctimonious. Liang Yan could clearly see that the so-called Domain was not something Qi Rui could withstand with his current abilities. It was all because of the book in his hand. From the looks of it, this book was a very high-grade treasure. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired.¡± Liang Yan frowned. ¡°If you¡¯re tired, just admit defeat,¡± Qi Rui said with a smile. Liang Yanughed coldly. What was Qi Rui thinking? ¡°What I mean is that this boringpetition should end,¡± Liang Yan said. Liang Yan raised his hand and drew a blood sign. A drop of blood essence appeared on his fingertip and Liang Yan drew a symbol on his forehead. Qi Rui¡¯s expression changed drastically when he saw this. Liang Yan¡¯s aura rose steadily and stopped at the perfected Golden Core stage. The onlookers were even more shocked. Qi Rui had no doubt that if Liang Yan broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm now, there would be no problem at all. He did not expect that someone would suppress their cultivation just to pretend to be a weakling? However, it had to be said that Qi Rui was in a difficult position now. Liang Yan had alreadyprehended Sword Dao, and he was already on par with Qi Rui when he was in the advanced Golden Core Stage. Now that Liang Yan was in the perfected Golden Core stage, he would be even more difficult to deal with. However, Qi Rui did not expect Liang Yan to not attack immediately. He only took the tassel off his sword. Not only did Qi Rui not think of it, but Dong Xi did as well. Eldest Senior Brother had lent this sword tassel to Dong Xi before. Of course, Dong Xi knew the function of the sword tassel. It could lock onto a target and was very useful when necessary. What was Eldest Senior Brother doing with it now? Did he think that the tassel was in the way? However, Liang Yan answered their doubts before they could ponder for too long. Liang Yan took out a dark green stone from his storage ring. Qi Rui reacted quickly and immediately cast a spell. Although he did not know what Liang Yan¡¯s stone was for, Qi Rui felt that he could not let Liang Yan install this stone. Liang Yan¡¯s reaction was also very fast. He quickly distanced himself and shed out with his sword. Then, he quickly pressed the stone on his sword. He did not know what this stone was, but it instantly fused with the sword. With the addition of the stone, the longsword seemed to be upgraded. The mes at the tip of the sword became even hotter, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted. Liang Yan rushed forward and shed down with his fifth sword move. When Dong Xi saw this scene, she puffed out her chest and felt very proud. This sword move was optimized by Dong Xi back then. At this moment, Liang Yan¡¯s aura soared as he wielded his sword. Qi Rui knew that he could not sh head-on with the swordsman, so he immediately dodged. However, he did not expect Liang Yan to be even faster, and he almost instantly released a second Sword Qi. Liang Yan¡¯s two Sword Qi seemed to be able to track Qi Rui as he ran around. The Sword Qi came one after another, increasing to seven. Qi Rui could no longer dodge. Liang Yan casually shed Qi Rui off the stage. Master Xuan Chen walked onto the arena with a smile and announced that the winner was Liang Yan from the Ningtian Sect. The people from the Ningtian Sect cheered and humiliated the people from the Green Cloud Sect who had boasted shamelessly just now. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Liang Yan jumped off the stage and ran towards Dong Xi. When he arrived in front of Dong Xi, Liang Yan immediately held Dong Xi up with one hand. Without saying anything, he started to walk away from the crowd. Dong Xi struggled a few times and said awkwardly, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, what are you doing? There are so many people here. It¡¯s too embarrassing.¡± Liang Yan did not say anything. He only put Dong Xi down after returning to the meditation room. Liang Yan said, ¡°Who says I can¡¯t beat him?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was speechless. She thought that she had offended Eldest Senior Brother somehow. Chapter 320 - 320 Unparalleled in the World 320 Unparalleled in the World So Eldest Senior Brother was here for this? Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°I didn¡¯t say that. Eldest Senior Brother is the best. He¡¯s unparalleled in the world. How can he lose? I absolutely don¡¯t believe it.¡± Dong Xi praised for a long time, but Liang Yan¡¯s stare made her feel guilty. Dong Xi stuttered and could not continue. ¡°Then tell me, did you bet on me winning?¡± Liang Yan asked. ¡°?¡± !! Umm¡­ Did Dong Xi dare to say it out loud? Liang Yan looked at Dong Xi¡¯s expression. How could he not know? Liang Yan¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. He said, ¡°You didn¡¯t even bet on me winning. How can you say you trust me?¡± Dong Xi was like a mute person. She had no way to speak of her bitterness. Dong Xi sighed lightly and said, ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, do you believe me?¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Liang Yan said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she immediately said firmly,¡± If you don¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll say it too. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to bet on you, but I just woke up. I don¡¯t have the chance to buy anything.¡± Liang Yan furrowed his brows before rxing. He had almost forgotten that Little Junior Sister had been having an Epiphany all this while. ¡°How is Song Qingfeng?¡± Liang Yan changed the topic. Dong Xi said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just went to take a look. The opponent was very miserable. He couldn¡¯t break Second Senior Brother¡¯s defense at all. There was nothing to see. So, I went to see you.¡± Liang Yan¡¯s expression improved a little, as if he had finally suppressed Song Qingfeng for once. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, what was that stone you took out at the end?¡± asked Dong Xi. Liang Yan did not want to say anything. However, the more Liang Yan did not want to say it, the more someone spoke on his behalf. Song Qingfeng came in from outside and said, ¡°That¡¯s Second Senior Brother¡¯s birthday gift to Eldest Senior Brother. ¡± When Dong Xi heard the voice, she hurriedly raised her head and saw Second Senior Brother, who had an outstanding bearing, walking over in a carefree manner. ¡°How is it, Eldest Senior Brother?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. ¡°Is it useful? It¡¯s too rare. You¡¯ve kept it for more than 80 years, and you¡¯re finally willing to take it out and use it¡­¡± Dong Xi looked at the Eldest Senior Brother in shock. Liang Yan¡¯s face was expressionless and he did not respond to Song Qingfeng. Liang Yan looked at Song Qingfeng and said, ¡°You won?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be confused about?¡± Song Qingfeng asked. ¡°I already said that this kind ofpetition is very boring, but Master forced me toe.¡± Song Qingfeng had a helpless expression. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to go to the mortal world?¡± Liang Yan asked. Song Qingfeng smiled. He looked calm, but it made him seem abnormal. ¡°Why must we go to the mortal world?¡± Liang Yan asked. ¡°Si Kong has been gone for so long.¡± Song Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯ll go look for him.¡± ¡°Do you believe that?¡± Liang Yan snorted coldly. When Dong Xi heard the name Si Kong, she felt like she had heard it somewhere before. However, after thinking for a long time, she could not remember. ¡°Senior Brothers, who is Si Kong?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°He¡¯s the Third Senior Brother,¡± Song Qingfeng said with a smile. Dong Xi instantly remembered. She said, ¡°It¡¯s Third Senior Brother!¡± No wonder it sounded familiar. Liang Yan saw that Song Qingfeng did not want to say more, so he did not ask further. He chased the two of them out and said, ¡°Go back and have a good rest. The finals will be held tomorrow. After that, we can return to the sect.¡± Song Qingfeng did not care about the finals. Master had said that as long as he could get into the top 3, he could go to the mortal world. Dong Xi returned to the meditation room and sat down on the mat, deep in thought. After a long time, Dong Xi opened his eyes wide and muttered to herself, ¡°I remember now.¡± Si Kong was Dong Xi¡¯s Third Senior Brother. There were only a few lines in the original book. Dong Xi had read the original book and found that Dong Rourou was the main character. Everything started eight yearster. The book said that Si Kong was the emperor of the mortal world and cultivated the path of the Human Emperor. Dong Xi was shocked. She did not expect that there was a Senior Brother who was an Emperor! Master¡¯s attitude towards her two Senior Brothers was very subtle. Dong Xi had been in the sect for more than two years and had never seen her Third Senior Brother. Master also looked indifferent. If Second Senior Brother wanted to go to the mortal world, he had to get into the top 3 in thepetition. Dong Xi felt that there must be a lot of unknown stories in this. The mortal world¡­ The original body¡¯s home was in the mortal world. If Dong Xi had been a little more ruthless and killed Dong Rourou before she grew up, she would been able to rest easy, right? However¡­ Dong Xi could not do it. Dong Xi only wanted these eight years. When the eight years were up, Dong Rourou would return, and Dong Xi would leave on her own. At dawn the next day, Dong Xi finished her cultivation and ran to the arena. Dong Xi had never seen Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brotherpete. In any case, it did not matter who won. Dong Xi was happy. The first ce would be the one from Lingxu Peak! At this moment, there was only a huge arena in the square. There were people around it, and most of them were disciples of the Ningtian Sect. Chapter 321 - 321 Why Didn’t He Come? 321 Why Didn¡¯t He Come? The two Senior Brothers did note. Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message in the group chat. [Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, why aren¡¯t you two here?] However, after staring for a long time, no one in the group replied. After 15 minutes, Liang Yan rode on his sword andnded on the stage. Liang Yan¡¯s long sword had an extra tassel. He was toozy, as if he did not care about thispetition at all. Liang Yan waited on the stage for two hours, but Song Qingfeng did not appear. The surrounding crowd started discussing. Dong Xi sent a few messages to Song Qingfeng using hermunication jade slip, but there was no response. Dong Xi even thought that Second Senior Brother might not have woken up yet. Just as Dong Xi was about to turn around and leave to look for Second Senior Brother¡­ Master Xuan Chen suddenly appeared on the stage. Liang Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Xuan Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to look for Fellow Daoist Song Qingfeng.¡± ¡°No need, Song Qingfeng won¡¯te,¡± Liang Yan said. Xuan Chen frowned. Liang Yan continued, ¡°At this point, Song Qingfeng probably isn¡¯t here anymore.¡± Song Qingfeng came to thepetition because he wanted to go to the mortal world. He did not care about the ranking at all. Master Xuan Chen still sent people to Song Qingfeng¡¯s meditation room to look for him. As expected, there was no one there. Only then did Master Xuan Chen announce that the first ce was Liang Yan. Liang Yan also did not care about the ranking. It seemed that the Sect Master had chatted with Liang Yan for the entire night. Liang Yan had to get first ce this time. Otherwise, the Ningtian Sect would be suppressed by the Green Cloud Sect for decades. ¡­ On the way back to the sect, everyone still took the airship they came in. However, Second Senior Brother, who was supposed to be next door to Dong Xi, was reced by someone else. Dong Xi secretly asked Eldest Senior Brother about it, wanting to know why Second Senior Brother insisted on going to the mortal world. Liang Yan did not say anything. He only said that Dong Xi was still young and should not care about adults¡¯ matters. Dong X, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi felt that Eldest Senior Brother¡¯s words were too perfunctory. On the second day of their journey back, Dong Xi received a message from Second Brother. [Little Junior Sister, are you guys heading back?] When Dong Xi saw the message, she sent a voice message excitedly. She said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, where did you go?¡± Song Qingfeng also replied, ¡°Hehe, now that I¡¯m not there, you start to miss me, right? I went to do something big!¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Dong Xi asked doubtfully. ¡°Children shouldn¡¯t pry into adult matters,¡± Song Qingfeng said perfunctorily. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± If he did not allow anyone to inquire about it, then why did he even say it? Now that he had said it, he still did not allow anyone to inquire about it. Seemingly noticing Dong Xi¡¯s speechlessness, Song Qingfeng smiled and said, ¡°Little Junior Sister, I¡¯m going to the mortal world. When Ie back, I hope you¡¯ve already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re going to be gone for so long?¡± Dong Xi shouted in shock. Dong Xi did not know what Second Senior Brother was going to do, but with his Golden Core cultivation base and his body full of treasures, he was an existence that could overturn the clouds and rain in the mortal world. But why did it take so long? Was Second Senior Brother¡¯s matter very troublesome? Song Qingfeng sent another voice message. He said, ¡°Perhaps it won¡¯t be too long. You should cultivate well. Oh right, I got someone to send something to your cave abode.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She said, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when we get back,¡± said Song Qingfeng. Song Qingfeng did not reply after he said that. Dong Xi was not sure if the ¡®signal¡¯ of the jade slip was only avable in the cultivation world, and there would be no connection after leaving the cultivation world. Dong Xi started to circte the cultivation technique in her body. Her right eyelid twitched a few times as she frowned. Dong Xi suddenly felt uneasy. What was Second Senior Brother going to do? This question was hidden in Dong Xi¡¯s heart. When she returned to the sect, her Eldest Senior Brother and Master Yi Kun went to report to Sect Master Wei Nan. Dong Xi then went straight to her Master¡¯s cave. ¡°Master, I¡¯m back! Open the door!¡± Dong Xi shouted. Dong Xi raised her hand and patted the stone door. Daoist Master Lingxu had already calcted that Dong Xi and the others would return in the next two days and had been waiting. Upon hearing Dong Xi¡¯s shout, Master Lingxu immediately stood up and deactivated the restriction. ¡°Little Xi, you always make such a bigmotion every time youe over,¡± said Daoist Master Lingxu. It sounded a little disdainful, but Lingxu indeed had a smile on his face, as if he enjoyed it. Although Master Lingxu did not go, he heard that the three disciples performed well this time. He was very proud of them. There was no need to mention Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng, but this little disciple actually entered the top 100. The 7th level of Qi Refinement entered the top 100, which made Lingxu very surprised. Furthermore, everyone said that the biggest winner of this inter-sectpetition was Dong Xi. Although her ranking was not too good, she was the only one who had gained an Epiphany. Chapter 322 - 322 Envy 322 Envy Master Lingxu thought. Dong Xi had only entered the sect for two years and had already had two epiphanies. This time, she had even reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement. Thinking of this, Master Lingxu was a little envious. He originally thought that Dong Xi was here to ask for a reward, but Dong Xi said in a familiar tone, ¡°Master, why did Second Senior Brother go to the mortal world?¡± Daoist Lingxu was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, ¡°Children shouldn¡¯t ask about adult matters.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± !! Dong Xi was a little mad. Couldn¡¯t there be another exnation? Dong Xi¡¯s expression became serious. He narrowed his eyes and looked very serious. She said, ¡°Master, you know that I have a vague intuition after cultivating your cultivation technique. Second Senior Brother¡¯s trip to the mortal world this time is a little dangerous. Although I don¡¯t know what to do, but¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Lingxu directly interrupted Dong Xi¡¯s words. He said, ¡°Little Xi, you know that your Second Senior Brother has the same cultivation technique as you. Since you can sense it, Qingfeng should also know. ording to my understanding, Qingfeng must have made full preparations.¡± ¡°This time?¡± Dong Xi raised her head and said. ¡°Master, could it be that something happened to Second Senior Brother when he went to the mortal world before?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± said Spiritual Void. ¡°Master, please tell me. I¡¯m really worried,¡± Dong Xi pleaded. In all fairness, in the Ningtian Sect, the person who treated Dong Xi the best was Second Senior Brother. No, it should be said that in the entire cultivation world, only Second Senior Brother treated Dong Xi the best. Although he would asionally bully her, it was also a harmless joke. Daoist Lingxu looked at Dong Xi¡¯s worried expression. He raised his hand and gently patted Dong Xi¡¯s head. He said, ¡°Your second Senior Brother interfered in the affairs of the mortal world and vited the Heavenly Law.¡± Dong Xi suddenly thought of something and said in shock, ¡°Master, could it be¡­ Second Senior Brother is also dating a mortal?¡± Lingxu smiled and said, ¡°Girl, what are you thinking about? You don¡¯t have to worry too much. I¡¯ve already sent a message to your Third Senior Brother. If there¡¯s anything, your Third Senior Brother will help. There won¡¯t be any problems.¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard about this Emperor Senior Brother. The Emperor had supreme power. With Third Senior Brother, what Second Senior Brother wanted to do should be smoother. ¡­ Song Qingfeng sent Dong Xi a final voice message and jumped off the tform. Every time he went to the mortal world, Song Qingfeng would be very emotional. However, this time, he did not have the time to feel anything. He found that he was surrounded by people. These people were wearing armor and holding weapons. Song Qingfeng frowned. Just as he opened the fan in his hand, he saw the crowd make way for him. A familiar figure appeared in front of him. ¡°Bring him back,¡± Si Kong stepped forward and said. Song Qingfeng looked helpless. His master, that old man, had indeed secretly told Third Senior Brother. ¡°Third Senior Brother, you¡¯re so busy. Why are you here?¡± asked Song Qingfeng. Si Kong was wearing a python robe with a four-wed golden dragon on it. Si Kong sped his hands behind his back and looked at Song Qingfeng. He said lightly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you woulde here to find me?¡± Song Qingfeng was speechless. Not bad. Song Qingfeng was certain that besides his Master, his nosy Eldest Senior Brother had also told Third Senior Brother about it. Was Song Qingfeng that unreliable to them? ¡°Bring him back,¡± said Si Kong. The guards immediately surrounded him. Song Qingfeng had just arrived in the mortal world and did not want to cause trouble. Moreover, Song Qingfeng¡¯s cultivation had been sealed by his Master. He was no match for Third Senior Brother. Song Qingfeng sighed and followed him back. ¡­ Dong Xi returned to the cave dwelling. Just as she reached the door, she saw a deer running out. Dong Xi still remembered that it was Second Senior Brother¡¯s voice when the deer spoke. Seeing the deer again, Dong Xi hugged the deer¡¯s neck happily and said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, is it you?¡± Immediately after, a loud sound was heard. Dong Xi looked at the deer head in her arms and was instantly dumbfounded. Umm¡­ Did she pluck off Second Senior Brother¡¯s head? Dong Xi squatted on the ground and pressed the deer head back in a panic. In the end, she pressed it askew. But at least it triggered the mechanism. The deer with its head tilted spat out a token and a letter. The token was made of purple jade. It was warm to the touch and seemed to have an endless stream of spiritual Qi inside. There were two words on it: Rainbow Store. Dong Xi picked up the letter. There were six big words written on it: Little Junior Sister, open it personally. Dong Xi removed the restrictive spell and walked into the cave dwelling. Sitting on the praying mat, she opened the letter and began to read it seriously. The letter was basically saying that Second Senior Brother was going to the mortal world to gain experience. During this period of time, he was cing Dong Xi in charge of the Rainbow Store. He asked Dong Xi to use her brain more and not miss out on ways to make money. Chapter 323 - 323 Generous 323 Generous Cultivators should not care about these worldly possessions, but Dong Xi could help cultivators take a shortcut. They should be treated rationally and bnce the rtionship between cultivation and external objects. Finally, he told Dong Xi that she could use the items in the Rainbow Store as she wished, but she could not spend more than 1,000 top-grade spirit stones a year. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw this. 1,000 top-grade spirit stones! She could not finish using them at all! Second Senior Brother was so generous. Even after he left, he still missed Little Junior Sister. Dong Xi decided that she would help Second Senior Brother take care of the Rainbow Store. Before Second Senior Brother returned, she would open up Rainbow Stores all over the Eastern Continent. !! Dong Xi was still happy when something suddenly jumped onto her face. Dong Xi sneezed when she saw the furry thing. She suddenly thought of something and took it off her head. She shouted happily, ¡°Songsong!¡± Songsong hugged Dong Xi¡¯s arm and said affectionately, ¡°Little Xi, you¡¯re finally back. If you hadn¡¯te back, Songsong would have been hungry!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and said, ¡°You Little Fellow, you only know how to eat.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi looked at Songsong seriously. She had not seen it for half a year, but its hair seemed to be denser and the color darker. Under the sunlight, its golden fur made Dong Xi want to stroke it. Dong Xi hugged Songsong intimately for a long time before she raised her head and saw the willow tree not far away. How strange, why did Liu Qing note out? Dong Xi casually yed with its tail and said, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Liu Qing here? Where did she go?¡± ¡°Liu Qing fell into a deep sleep.¡± Songsong raised its head and said, ¡°Two months ago, Liu Qing said she was a little sleepy, so she fell asleep.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She had heard from others that demon beasts relied on sleep to cultivate. It seemed that the spirit Qi on Lingxu Peak was very abundant. Liu Qing was about to advance. Dong Xi suddenly thought of something. She lowered her head and looked at Songsong who was much brighter. Dong Xi said, ¡°Songsong, have you advanced?¡± Speaking of advancement, Songsong became excited. Songsong jumped out of Dong Xi¡¯s arms, onto her shoulder, and then climbed onto her head. ¡°Of course,¡± Songsong said proudly, ¡°Songsong is now at thete-stage of tier-2.¡± The grade of demon beasts was different from humans. Late-stage tier-2 was basically equivalent to humans¡¯ grandpletion of Qi Refinement stage. In other words, the current Songsong was even more powerful than Dong Xi. ¡°So powerful?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°It¡¯s not that Songsong is powerful,¡± Songsong said happily. ¡°It¡¯s the grass that is powerful. After eating and sleeping, my cultivation will rise.¡± Dong Xi thought of the grade-3 herbs and felt her heart ache. Fortunately, Second Senior Brother was generous and only asked for a few fish. But at the same time, this also confirmed Dong Xi¡¯s idea. In the future, when she went out, she must bring Songsong along. This little thing would probably require a lot of good things to increase its cultivation. She would bring it with her and let Songsong find food on its own. Dong Xi put down Songsong and turned to walk into the cave abode. Songsong watched Dong Xi leave in confusion. However, when it thought that the cave abode was the territory of the giant snake, Songsong did not follow her in. It just stood there and watched Dong Xi enter the cave abode. Dong Xi did not want to enter the cave either, but the snake said that he had something to discuss. After the stone door behind her slowly closed, Dong Xi looked at the mark on her arm. She said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you have something important to discuss?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Su Cheng appeared in front of Dong Xi. Even though Dong Xi had seen his face many times, she still felt that he was too handsome. ¡°Think of a way to go to the Beast Trainer Sect,¡± said Su Cheng indifferently. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment before squeezing out a smile. Dong Xi pointed at herself and said, ¡°You mean to let me sneak into the Beast Trainer Sect?¡± Su Cheng looked straight at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Who else could it be other than you?¡± Dong Xi spread out her hands and said, ¡°How can I survive? Are you making things difficult for me? With my little cultivation, people will notice me the moment I get close.¡± Su Cheng casually threw a storage bag over and said, ¡°There¡¯s a Beast Trainer Sect token here, as well as a disciple¡¯s uniform. Change into it.¡± Dong Xi frowned and looked at Su Cheng. She said, ¡°These¡­ Did you kill that Beast Trainer Sect disciple?¡± Su Cheng nodded, indicating that she was right. ¡°The token still has that disciple¡¯s mark on it,¡± said Dong Xi speechlessly. ¡°It¡¯ll be discovered immediately.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± said Su Cheng. ¡°I¡¯ve already erased the mark. You can take it and go in.¡± Dong Xi looked at the rxed Su Cheng. After a moment of silence, she said, ¡°They¡¯re from the Beast Trainer Sect. I should have a demon beast with me when I go in, right?¡± Su Cheng looked out the window and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t there that squirrel?¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said with a serious expression, ¡°I can help you, but I can¡¯t let Songsong be implicated with me. If I remember correctly, there are demons in the Beast Trainer Sect. I guess you went to the Beast Trainer Sect because of the demons, right?¡± Chapter 324 - 324 Tool Beast 324 Tool Beast Su Cheng did not say anything. The two of them looked at each other for a long time, but Dong Xi did not give in at all. After a long time, Su Cheng lowered his head and sighed helplessly. Then, Su Cheng disappeared from the cave abode and coiled around Dong Xi¡¯s arm. The cold feeling made Dong Xi shiver. Su Cheng¡¯s voice rang in her mind. ¡°You have a beast now,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± This was really lowering his status. She thought that Su Cheng would go and catch a demon beast for her. She never expected that Su Cheng would actually be a tool beast for her. Dong Xi had just returned to the sect. If she went out again, she had to give her Master a reason. It was easy to find an excuse. Dong Xi said that her cultivation level had increased too quickly and that she needed to go out to experience and stabilize her cultivation level. Thus, Lingxu agreed. However, Master Lingxu was also worried that Dong Xi would be targeted by the people of the Green Cloud Sect, so he gave Dong Xi a jade pendant, which contained three of Master Lingxu¡¯s strongest attacks. ¡°Little Xi, keep this jade pendant well. If you encounter bad people, send them to the afterlife with this,¡± said Master Lingxu. ¡°I understand, Master,¡± replied Dong Xi obediently. Dong Xi put away the jade pendant and rushed to the Beast Trainer Sect. When she was about to reach the ce, she put on the Beast Trainer Sect disciple uniform and wore the waist token that the snake had processed on her waist. At the same time, he used the bead ne¡¯s function to change her appearance, turning herself into an ordinary person, who would never stand out in a crowd. Su Cheng felt that this disguise was too low-level. Anyone with a cultivation base above the Golden Core stage would be able to see through it with a single nce. Su Cheng sighed and formed a seal for Dong Xi. Then, Dong Xi swaggered into the Beast Trainer Sect. After entering the Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s array, the array did not react at all. Dong Xi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, the Big Snake was very reliable! But¡­ After entering the Beast Trainer Sect, Dong Xi did not know anyone here. Where should she go? Dong Xi strolled aimlessly. Suddenly, someone shouted from behind, ¡°The person in front.¡± Dong Xi subconsciously stopped in her tracks and turned around to see the two Beast Trainer Sect disciples. ¡°Senior Martial Brothers, are you calling me?¡± Dong Xi bowed honestly. One of the disciples looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Which Peak are you from?¡± Dong Xi had already made preparations in advance. Upon hearing this, Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Surging Wave Peak.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, do you have anything to do?¡± the disciple asked. ¡°If you¡¯re not busy, can you help us?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. Wasn¡¯t this an opportunity? It was a good opportunity to infiltrate the inner circle! Dong Xi smiled and stroked the ck snake on her arm lovingly. Dong Xi said, ¡°Sure. Senior Brother, just say it. My little snake and I can help.¡± Dong Xi had just finished speaking when an electric current ran through her arm. Dong Xi was stunned, and her fire spiritual energy immediately surged. Come, hurt each other! But this time, the Big Snake did not retaliate. He remained silent. The two disciples looked at the snake on Dong Xi¡¯s arm and were very surprised. The disciple who spoke earlier said, ¡°It¡¯s rare to see a girl treat a snake as a pet. How should I address you, Junior Sister?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°Dong¡­ Dong Li.¡± The disciple nodded and said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Li, we¡¯re both from Qinsong Peak. I¡¯m Yuan Shao, and he¡¯s Cao Zhen. Things have happened in the sect during this period of time, and we¡¯re short of manpower. Senior Brother Le Jin, who went with me to feed the thunder tigers, went out to carry out a sect mission. The two of us must ensure that all the tigers are fed. But with just the two of us, we can¡¯t separate all the tigers. Our demon beasts are also afraid of the thunder tigers and can¡¯t help.¡± As he spoke, Yuan Shao looked at the Demon Beast Bag helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s fate that we met each other,¡± said Dong Xi immediately. ¡± We¡¯re both senior and junior. It wouldn¡¯t be good if I don¡¯t help.¡± Seeing that Dong Xi had agreed, Cao Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them brought Dong Xi to where the thunder tigers were. Before Dong Xi reached the ce, she heard the roar of a tiger. The roar of a ferocious beast was truly soul-stirring. Dong Xi felt herself trembling. However, this was not the end. In an instant, a huge thunder tiger flew in front of Dong Xi and opened its mouth as if it wanted to eat Dong Xi. Dong Xi was so scared that her heart almost stopped beating. She was afraid that she would die before she couldplete his mission. He immediately took out two defensive talismans. However, he did not expect that at this critical moment, a green barrier would suddenly appear on his body. The thunder tiger immediately crashed into the cage and let out a wail. Cao Zhen and Yuan Shao were both used to it. Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s appearance, the two of them took out the food to feed the thunder tiger. Yuan Shao said, ¡°Are you scared? It¡¯s fine. They¡¯re all locked up. As long as we don¡¯t go in, the tigers won¡¯t be able to hurt us.¡± Chapter 325 - 325 What Do You Need Me to Do? 325 What Do You Need Me to Do? When Dong Xi heard this, she nodded and calmly withdrew the defensive talisman. Then, she began to observe the thunder tiger. Dong Xi was currently more than 1.6 meters tall, but she had only reached the thunder tiger¡¯s calf. Dong Xi discovered that the eyes of these three thunder tigers were glowing red. It was the demonic Qi. No wonder they needed more help feeding the tigers¡­ Dong Xi came just in time and worked for the sect for free. ¡°Senior Brother, what do you need me to do?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Wait,¡± said Cao Zhen. Dong Xi watched as Cao Zhen took out a porcin bottle, took out two pills, and put them into the chicken¡¯s stomach. Dong Xi was especially familiar with this pill. Wasn¡¯t it the Exorcism Pill? No wonder a tiger could only eat one. If one of them ate more than one, what would happen to the demonic energy on the other thunder tigers? After Cao Zhen processed the chicken, he handed it to Dong Xi. Cao Zhen said, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Li, the three of us will fly to different cester. When the thunder tigers are separated, we will put the chicken in.¡± This was too simple. ¡°No problem.¡± Dong Xi immediately nodded. The three of them took the chicken and flew in different directions. The thunder tiger also chased after the three of them. Everything went ording to n, but just as they threw the chicken in, an ident happened. The thunder tiger smelled the chicken that was thrown in and roared in dissatisfaction. Then, it left. Dong Xi saw it clearly and was also shocked. Dong Xi looked at Cao Zhen beside her and said, ¡°Senior Brother, what¡¯s the problem? ¡± Cao Zhen frowned and was also very puzzled. Cao Zhen said, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this. We¡¯ve always fed them with this method in the past.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yuan Shao also walked over and asked. ¡°Are the tigers refusing to eat?¡± ¡°Senior Brother, what should we do?¡± Cao Zhen asked seriously. ¡°Could it be that the demonic aura on the thunder tiger¡¯s body had increased? But¡­ If the thunder tiger doesn¡¯t eat the Exorcism Pill, the demonic aura on its body will only increase.¡± Demon beasts were simple-minded. If a human was infected by the demonic Qi, they could still resist it. However, if a demon beast was infected by the demonic Qi, it would soon be controlled by the demonic Qi. The demon beasts would be iparably brutal and ruthless, slowly walking to the opposite side of humans. ¡°Why don¡¯t we wait and see?¡± Yuan Shao said. ¡°Let¡¯s see if the thunder tiger will eat itter.¡± The three of them waited for a long time, but the three tigers were still fighting and did not eat the chicken at all. When Dong Xi saw this scene, she started to think. ¡°Senior Brother, is this how you usually feed them?¡± asked Dong Xi. Cao Zhen looked at the thunder tiger and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve been feeding them like this for half a year. They¡¯re always fighting to eat. What¡¯s wrong with them today?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, her jaw almost dropped. Dong Xi said with some difficulty, ¡°Senior Brother¡­ Is it possible that the thunder tiger is tired of eating chicken and wants to eat something else?¡± Yuan Shao looked at Dong Xi and was very surprised. Yuan Shao said, ¡°Tired of eating chicken? Can a tiger be picky?¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°Senior Brother, think about it. Not to mention the thunder tiger, even if we humans eat chicken for half a year continuously¡­ Do you still want to eat it?¡± Yuan Shao was speechless. Cao Zhen was also speechless. Then, he looked at the chicken that was thrown in and said, ¡°Then what should we do? I¡¯ve already thrown in my rations, and there¡¯s no extra Exorcism Pills¡­¡± This Exorcism Pill¡­ Dong Xi did have quite a few, but if she took them out now, wouldn¡¯t she be a great seed of resentment? Now that he was already working for nothing, how could she still pay out of her own pocket? ¡°Senior Brother, is it not possible to use telekinesis?¡± Dong Xi asked tentatively. Telekinesis was an entry skill in the cultivation world. Dong Xi could use it, but she did not like it. Yuan Shao¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. He looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re really smart!¡± As Yuan Shao spoke, he raised his hand and formed a seal, wanting to take out all the chickens. However, Yuan Shao tried a few times, but the chicken he threw in did not react at all. ¡°Why isn¡¯t it moving?¡± Yuan Shao frowned. As he spoke, Yuan Shao looked at Cao Zhen beside him. Yuan Shao said, ¡°Junior brother, you try.¡± Cao Zhen nodded and made a hand seal. Seeing that the chickens still did not move, Dong Xi sighed and said, ¡°It might be a problem with the barrier, causing us to fail to use telekinesis.¡± Yuan Shao agreed with this statement. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Senior Brother, why don¡¯t you try finding a stick and pull out the chickens?¡± Yuan Shao took out a magic tool. It looked like a fishing rod with the ability to extend and retract. Dong Xi and Cao Zhen thought that the problem would be solved just like that. However, they did not expect that when the magic tool hooked the chicken, it would suddenly stop moving. Dong Xi and the others looked over and saw a huge w stepping on the magic tool. Chapter 326 - 326 Stealing Food from the Tiger’s Mouth? 326 Stealing Food from the Tiger¡¯s Mouth? Dong Xi looked at the giant w and suddenly thought of a phrase: Snatching food from the tiger¡¯s mouth. Dong Xi and the others wanted to pull out the rod, but with a p of lightning, the fishing rod broke. Yuan Shao was very distressed. He had spent a lot of points exchanging for this tool. The three of them tried many methods, but they could not take out the chicken. Dong Xi watched as Yuan Shao¡¯s Dharma artifact was destroyed. Cao Zhen then took out a puppet Dharma artifact. However, Dong Xi immediately stopped him. ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t try anymore. If you break your tool, it¡¯s not worth it anymore. We might as well buy more Exorcism Pills,¡± said Dong Xi. Cao Zhen was silent for a moment, and his heart ached. Cao Zhen frowned and said, ¡°But if we don¡¯t try, how can we take out the chicken?¡± Dong Xi already had an idea. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, is there any other food now?¡± Yuan Shao immediately nodded. There was other food. At this moment, Dong Xi thought of two ways. One was to learn the substitution technique from Kong Xing. However, there were still three thunder tigers inside, and there was uncertainty in the substitution skill. Dong Xi was worried that when she used the substitution technique, the tiger would be swapped out instead of the chicken¡­ That would really be bad. The second method was to let Yuan Shao and Cao Zhen lure the thunder tiger away while Dong Xi tried to take out the chicken. Although there were some risks, they could be controlled. Dong Xi sighed lightly. Thinking that if she did not enter Hell, who would? Dong Xi told Yuan Shao and Cao Zhen the method. Yuan Shao was not bad. He gave the meat of an unknown demon beast to Dong Xi. Yuan Shao said, ¡°You guys go and lure the Thunder Tiger away. I¡¯ll go in and get the chicken.¡± Yuan Shao¡¯s spiritual energy entered the fishing rod, and the broken fishing rod became a little longer. Dong Xi agreed. Since someone was willing to be a hero, Dong Xi did not need to be in the limelight. Dong Xi picked up the meat, tore off a small piece, and threw it into the barrier. Then, she jumped up and shouted, luring the thunder tiger in another direction. When Yuan Shao saw the thunder tiger leave, he immediately began to pull out one of the chickens, and he really did pulled out one. The three of them continued to use this method to pull out the remaining chickens. However, just as thest chicken was about to be taken out, a thunder tiger noticed their n. The thunder tiger swung its w at the fishing rod, and the rod, which was already half broken, broke again. The chicken on the fishing rod also stopped in the magic barrier. While Yuan Shao and Cao Zhen were frowning, Dong Xi threw in a fishing that covered the chicken. The thunder tiger immediately roared, as if it had lost face. The tiger waved its ws at the fishing. However, it was still a little slow. Dong Xi took out the chicken. ¡°I was scared to death. Luckily, I was faster.¡± Dong Xi patted her chest. The thunder tiger in the barrier sensed that it was being yed and kept roaring. Its strong body mmed into the barrier crazily, causing the barrier to tremble. ¡°Senior Brother, is there any problem with this barrier?¡± Dong Xi asked worriedly. ¡°The Sect Master set up this barrier, so there shouldn¡¯t be any problems,¡± said Yuan Shao. After saying that, Dong Xi looked at the fishing that Dong Xi threw on the ground in surprise. Yuan Shao said, ¡°Junior Sister, why do you have a fishing?¡± ¡°You can have a fishing rod, but why can¡¯t I have a fishing?¡± Dong Xi raised her eyebrows. ¡°I got this fishing rod because my contracted demon beast is a cat, and it especially likes to eat fish,¡± said Yuan Shao. ¡°Also, this fishing rod would catch some fish of good quality.¡± Yuan Shao could even exchange the fish for some spirit stones. Dong Xi smiled and stroked the little snake on her arm. She said, ¡°My little snake also likes to eat fish.¡± After that, the electric current once again passed through Dong Xi¡¯s arm. However, Dong Xi remained calm. However, Dong Xi was already used to this little bit of electricity. The spiritual energy swirled, and the power of lightning was instantly absorbed. This fishing was also made by Dong Xi in order to catch fish during the novice trial. Fortunately, she did not throw it away after using it. However, she did not expect to be able to use it this time. Seeing that Yuan Shao still wanted to ask something, Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Senior Brother, now that the Exorcism Pill has been taken out, let¡¯s hurry up and feed the thunder tigers again.¡± This time, it was changed to other food. As expected, the thunder tiger obediently ate it. Dong Xi saw that the three thunder tigers had calmed down, and redness in their eyes started to fade. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Dong Xi saw a trace of pain on the thudner tigers¡¯ faces. Dong Xi looked at Yuan Shao and said, ¡°Senior Brother, hasn¡¯t the demonic Qi in our sect¡¯s beenpletely eliminated yet?¡± Yuan Shao immediately made a gesture to stop talking. Cao Zhen was even more direct, covering Dong Xi¡¯s mouth. No matter how stupid Dong Xi was, she knew that she had said something wrong. Dong Xi obediently shut her mouth. Cao Zhen whispered, ¡°Were you expelled from the sect? How dare you spout nonsense?¡± Chapter 327 - 327 It’s Not That Simple 327 It¡¯s Not That Simple Cao Zhen raised his head and looked around. Then, he said in a very low voice, ¡°Demonic Qi¡­ It has nothing to do with us. Your cultivation is also low, so there are many things you don¡¯t know. Don¡¯t talk too much and just cultivate on the Surging Wave Peak.¡± This time, it was a lesson for Dong Xi. It might not be so easy to sneak into the Beast Trainer Sect. She could fish in troubled waters, but she had to be careful not to be involved in other things. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi honestly. After separating from Yuan Shao and Cao Zhen, Dong Xi ate the Hidden Spirit Pill and concealed her fire spirit and wood spirit roots. Then, Dong Xi called out to Su Cheng in her consciousness. ¡°Big Snake, are you there?¡± asked Dong Xi. Su Cheng hummed faintly. Dong Xi was a little excited when she heard Su Cheng¡¯s response. She said in her consciousness, ¡°Big Snake, what are we investigating? Where should I go?¡± Dong Xi came in with the token of the Beast Trainer Sect disciple who was killed by Su Cheng. However, no matter what, she was still an illegal resident. There was no cave abode here. Therefore, she needed to know what the Big Snake wanted to do, so she could decide where to go next. Su Cheng said, ¡°Demons must have invaded the Beast Trainer Sect. There are some things that the Beast Trainer Sect did not discover at all. I need to check it out personally. As for the residence¡­ You make the arrangements.¡± Dong Xi was silent. Umm¡­ He was simply a scumbag. He had tricked her toe out, but he did not arrange a ce for her to stay? He asked Dong Xi to look for amodation herself? Could it be that Dong Xi was like a vagrant, sleeping on a tree every day? And she had to be constantly on guard against being discovered? Su Cheng knew all of Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts, but he did not understand what a ¡®scumbag¡¯ was. Was it an insult, saying that he was not a good snake? At the thought of this, Su Cheng epted it indifferently. It did not matter. Su Cheng was not a good snake anyway. He would just be a scumbag for the time being. Dong Xi sat on a rock, worrying about where to go next. A familiar figure appeared on the bridge not far away. Tiger striped patterns, the ¡®Chuan¡¯ character on its forehead¡­ Dong Xi¡¯s pupils constricted, and her heart was also very nervous. The little cat suddenly increased its speed and rushed toward Dong Xi. Dong Xi only had one thought in her mind. She had been recognized. Dong Xi shouted in her sea of consciousness, ¡°Big Snake, this little cat has recognized me. What should I do? Would the kitten tell its owner? What should I do? Why not run first? We¡¯ve been in here for half a day. It¡¯s not embarrassing even if we run away.¡± Dong Xi kept talking while Su Cheng said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Alright? How could this be? If they were discovered, what would happen if the Beast Trainer Sect took Dong Xi as a hostage? Second Senior Brother, had even gone to the mortal world. Did she need to rely on those lousy alchemy and sword cultivation fellow disciples? They could not even afford the ransom! While Dong Xi was still thinking, the little cat had already arrived in front of Dong Xi. There was no demonic energy on its body. The little cat was just a good-looking cat. The little cat stopped in front of Dong Xi. It did not jump onto Dong Xi¡¯s body directly. Instead, it stared at the snake on Dong Xi¡¯s arm. The kitten meowed a few times. Dong Xi could not understand at all. At this moment, Su Cheng said in Dong Xi¡¯s consciousness, ¡°Follow this little cat.¡± ¡°?¡± When Dong Xi was confused, what kind of deal did Su Cheng make with the little cat? ¡°What did you say to the little cat?¡± Dong Xi asked in her sea of consciousness. Su Cheng did not say anything. Dong Xi stood up and pretended to walk out. ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to tell me, I¡¯m going back!¡± said Dong Xi. Just as he took a step, Dong Xi jumped up on the spot. Her entire body was twitching, as if she had suddenly started breakdancing. ¡°Big Snake, you¡¯re killing me!¡± Dong Xi said in her sea of consciousness. Su Cheng was sure that Dong Xi was not used to the power of lightning of such intensity. Su Cheng could hear Dong Xi¡¯s anger and said calmly, ¡°Follow the little kitten. There¡¯s a ce to sleep.¡± ¡°How can you be so kind?¡± Dong Xi frowned. ¡°Aren¡¯t I a scumbag?¡± Su Cheng asked directly. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi was silent for a moment before returning to normal. At this moment, Dong Xi had figured out some things. She said in her sea of consciousness, ¡°Big Snake, there¡¯s still something I don¡¯t understand. You¡¯re so strong, and no one noticed you after so long in the Ningtian Sect. If you came to the Beast Trainer Sect alone, you would definitely be stronger than me bringing you here. Why did you ask me toe?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll understand in the future,¡± Su Cheng said happily. After saying that, Su Cheng ignored whatever Dong Xi said. Dong Xi could only brace herself and follow behind the little cat. After walking for a long time, she saw a bamboo forest. The cat slowed down and turned around to meow. Dong Xi looked towards the depths of the bamboo forest. There was a small bamboo house that could be vaguely seen. Dong Xi said softly, ¡°Isn¡¯t that a house in the depths of the bamboo forest? Little multicolored cat, is this our destination?¡± Chapter 328 - 328 Was Su Cheng Reliable 328 Was Su Cheng Reliable The little cat meowed again, but Dong Xi did not understand. The little cat jumped into Dong Xi¡¯s arms and did not go down. Dong Xi immediately started to pet the cat. She enjoyed it very much. She carried the little cat and walked forward. If she met the owner of the little catter, how would she exin it? Could the little cat betray Dong Xi? Was Su Cheng reliable? At this moment, Dong Xi was in a very passive situation. Ever since she entered the cultivation world, Dong Xi seemed to have been passive. Dong Xi sighed at her bitter life. She followed a small path and walked toward the depths of the bamboo forest. A small bamboo house appeared in front of Dong Xi. The small bamboo house was surrounded by a fence. There was arge open space in the courtyard where ordinary flowers and nts were nted. The little cat jumped out of Dong Xi¡¯s arms and found a corner to hide in. Then, it looked at Dong Xi outside and meowed a few times, as if telling her to follow him in. Dong Xi was somewhat speechless. The little cat could get inside, but could Dong Xi get inside? This little cat was a little stupid. Dong Xi frowned. This was the Beast Trainer Sect. Of course, they could not climb over the fence. It was better to call for help directly. ¡°Hello, is anyone there?¡± Dong Xi shouted. After shouting for a long time, no one responded. Just as Dong Xi was about to leave, the bamboo door opened. Dong Xi turned around and saw a young maning out of the house. He was dressed in white and looked like andscape painting in the thick and colorful bamboo forest. Dong Xi always remembered that this was the cultivation world. In the cultivation world, one could never judge a book by its cover. Perhaps this young man was an old man who had lived for thousands of years. But if that was the case, why couldn¡¯t the little cat transform? ¡°You are¡­?¡± asked Dong Xi. The young man looked at Dong Xi and was slightly taken aback. He did not expect Dong Xi to ask such a question. Dong Xi looked at the young man and frowned. The young man said with aplicated expression, ¡°It seems that you are the one who came to visit? I should be asking you that question, right?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she said awkwardly,¡±I am Dong Li, Ying Lang Feng. I identally came here and couldn¡¯t find the exit. Please forgive me, Senior.¡± Dong Xi could not tell the cultivation level of this youth at all. Therefore, this youth was at least at the Golden Core stage and above. There was nothing wrong with calling him ¡®Senior¡¯. The youth sized up Dong Xi, then walked out and opened the fence. The youth said, ¡°Come in.¡± There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on the young man¡¯s body. This was very abnormal. When Dong Xi was hesitating whether she should go in, she felt the hem of her clothes being pulled. She looked down and saw the little cat biting the hem of her clothes. ¡°Da Fu said that he found a disciple to help him catch fish to eat. You¡¯ll be in charge of taking care of Da Fu in the future,¡± said the young man. Da Fu? Dong Xi looked at the dumb cat. Dong Xi still remembered his identity as a disciple of the Beast Trainer Sect. Dong Xi said, ¡°Disciple understands.¡± Dong Xi had just entered the courtyard when she said, ¡°How should I address you, Senior?¡± The young man¡¯s voice was cold and a little hoarse as he said, ¡°Guo Rui.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be responsible for taking care of Da Fu from now on.¡± Dong Xi bowed respectfully and said, ¡°Does Martial Uncle Guo have any other instructions?¡± ¡°Not yet,¡± said Guo Rui. Guo Rui turned around and entered the house. Dong Xi noticed that this Martial Uncle¡¯s legs seemed to be inconvenient. Dong Xi had only been in the cultivation world for two years, but she already knew who the Sect Masters of the major sects were, as well as some Elders who liked to show off. As for this Martial Uncle¡­ Dong Xi had never heard of him. Dong Xi thought for a moment and decided to ask the Beast Trainer Sect disciples. Coincidentally, when Dong Xi helped feed the thunder tiger, she added Yuan Shao and Cao Zhen¡¯s spiritual breath. Now, she could contact them. Dong Xi sent a message to Yuan Shao. [Senior Brother, do you know Martial Uncle Guo Rui?] Yuan Shao replied very quickly. [Never heard of him.] Dong Xi looked at the message and frowned. Her mind started to run wild. Dong Xi was now an illegal citizen. Could it be that Guo Rui was also an illegal citizen? It can¡¯t be, right? Dong Xi had seen Da Fu during thepetition, which meant that Guo Rui had also gone to thepetition, so it was impossible for him to be an illegal citizen. Dong Xi changed her words and sent Yuan Shao another message. [Senior Brother, do you know who lives in the bamboo forest of Fengyu Mountain?] Although Yuan Shao was puzzled, he still replied. [Junior Sister, there¡¯s an array formation in the bamboo forest of Fengyu Mountain. After crossing the mountain, we¡¯ll leave the Beast Trainer Sect. How can there be anyone living there?] Dong Xi sat on the steps with Da Fu in her arms, looking around in confusion. This was indeed the bamboo forest of Fengyu Mountain, right? Dong Xi did not give up and continued to send messages to ask Yuan Shao. [Among the Senior Brothers from our sect who are participating in thepetition, is there anyone whose spirit pet is a little calico cat?] Yuan Shao thought for a moment and replied. [Many of them. Our sect has a lot of cat ves and even more cat owners.] Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± ... Chapter 329 - 329 Really From the Beast Trainer Sect? 329 Really From the Beast Trainer Sect? Dong Xi asked around, but there were no clues. Was this Guo Rui really from the Beast Trainer Sect? Dong Xi helplessly grabbed Da Fu¡¯s stomach and shouted ¡®Big Snake¡¯ in her sea of consciousness. ¡°Big Snake, Big Snake, is it really okay for me to be here?¡± Dong Xi asked in her sea of consciousness. ¡°What do you need me to do next? Don¡¯t tell me I¡¯m supposed to be sitting here just petting the cat?¡± Dong Xi mumbled for a long time, but she did not get any response. !! On the contrary, Da Fu kept calling out. Dong thought for a moment and said to herself, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go catch fish for Da Fu first.¡± There was a small river at the back of Fengyu Mountain. Dong Xi followed Da Fu to the river, thinking of catching a few more so that she could bribe Guo Ruiter. However, when they reached the river, Dong Xi was dumbfounded. The fish in this river was actually a tier-3 fish? These fish were all at the peak of the Qi Refinement realm? How could Dong Xi dare to catch more? It would probably be difficult to catch one. Before entering the Beast Trainer Sect, Dong Xi was worried that her spirit root might expose her identity, so she ate a medicinal pill given by her Master. Right now, Dong Xi could only use the earth spirit root. Unfortunately, the earth spirit root was the weakest among the few spirit roots. Dong Xi sighed and took out the fishing from her storage bag. He hoped that the fish here would be a little stupid. At least she could feed Da Fu. Dong Xi threw the fishing into the river and waited for the fish to enter the. Then, she suddenly pulled the back. Dong Xi had thought that everything would go smoothly, and a hint of joy appeared on her face. At this moment, two water arrows shot out. One shot toward Dong Xi¡¯s hand that was holding the fishing, while the other shot toward her face. Dong Xi immediately circted the earth spiritual energy to create a protective barrier for herself. She did not dare to take this damage head-on. Dong Xi took the fishing and immediately dodged it. Another water arrow shot out from the water and hit the fishing. The was broken, but the fish did not die. Dong Xi looked at the broken fishing and sighed. She happened to see Da Fu licking its ws on a rock, basking in the sun. Dong Xi did not dare to leave any traces behind. She put away the broken fishing and walked to Da Fu. Dong Xi squatted down and looked at Da Fu. Dong Xi said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish. As a cat, how can you not know how to catch fish? Come here, I¡¯ll teach you immediately.¡± Da Fu, ¡°?¡± Before Da Fu could react, Dong Xi carried Da Fu to the water¡¯s edge and said, ¡°Go, use your ws to p the fish. This way, you can eat your own food in the future and don¡¯t need to beg other people to feed you.¡± Dong Xi clenched her hands into fists and tried to provoke Da Fu. Dong Xi also wanted to see what the little cat was capable of. Was the little cat a hidden big demon? Da Fu gave Dong Xi a human-like look. The contempt in his eyes was clear. Dong Xi noticed that the fish in the water had all fled. This phenomenon meant that the school of fish had encountered their nemesis. Just now, the school of fish had attacked Dong Xi arrogantly. As soon as Da Fu arrived, the school of fish fled. This meant that Da Fu¡¯s cultivation was definitely above the grade-3 school of fish. Dong Xi even tried to goad Da Fu. She said, ¡°Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and do it. Do you not dare? No way! Cats are afraid of fish!¡± Da Fu red at Dong Xi and quickly jumped out. It was so fast that Dong Xi could barely see Da Fu¡¯s afterimage. Not long after, Da Fu returned with a fish in its mouth. Da Fu threw the fish on the ground and meowed at Dong Xi a few times, as if it was showing off. Dong Xi snorted coldly and picked up the fish. Dong Xi said, ¡°Very good, this fish is mine.¡± Da Fu protested, but Dong Xi red back at it. Dong Xi smiled cunningly at Da Fu and said, ¡°I must let you know that the human heart is sinister!¡± Da Fu looked at Dong Xi with an aggrieved expression. Dong Xi would not be soft-hearted, and she even provoked Da Fu to continue catching fish. She said, ¡°Since you¡¯re so good at catching fish, go catch a few more. We¡¯ll treat it as cultivation. How about that?¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she stunned the fish and prepared it by the river. She wanted to start a fire to roast the fish, but her fire spirit root was sealed, and she could not ignite it. Dong Xi could only helplessly choose to eat sashimi. The fish in the cultivation world also contained spiritual energy, and the meat was very sweet. Unfortunately, there was no mustard or green onion, otherwise, it would have been even more delicious. Dong Xi ate a piece regretfully. As soon as she ate it, her expression changed drastically before she could even marvel at how delicious it was. Dong Xi spat out the residue in her mouth and saw that Da Fu had caught a fish and was about to eat it. Dong Xi immediately grabbed a stone and threw it at Da Fu. Da Fu reacted quickly and jumped away. Da Fu dodged the attack and instantly exploded! ¡°Meow!¡± Dong Xi understood Da Fu¡¯s anger. After all, she had snatched food from the cat¡¯s mouth a few times, which really annoyed the cat. However, they really could not eat the fish! Chapter 330 - 330 Interrogation 330 Interrogation Dong Xi ran to Da Fu and carried it. Dong Xi¡¯s expression was serious as she said sternly, ¡°Da Fu, you also ate the fish here before, right? So, you have demonic Qi on you?¡± Da Fu could not speak humannguage, and Dong Xi could not understand Da Fu¡¯s reply. Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at the little cat in her arms. The little cat was baring its teeth and its eyes were red. !! Dong Xi knew that her guess was right. If the little cat went crazy, Dong Xi would not be a match for it. Dong Xi quickly took out two Exorcism Pills from her hidden storage ring and fed them to Da Fu. She gently stroked Da Fu and sensed that Da Fu¡¯s restlessness had quieted down again. Dong Xi raised Da Fu and looked into its eyes.¡±Da Fu, listen up. I know you can understand. There¡¯s something wrong with the fish in the river. You can¡¯t eat it anymore.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi pondered for a moment and continued, ¡°No, to be precise, don¡¯t eat anything in the Beast Trainer Sect.¡± After that, Dong Xi took out a Fasting Pill and fed it to Da Fu. She said, ¡°Da Fu, eat this until the matter is investigated.¡± Da Fu called out and did not object. It obediently ate the Fasting Pill. Dong Xi let out a sigh of relief. This little cat was obedient. Dong Xi used the cleaning spell to clean up the ce. Then, she carried Da Fu and began to investigate along the river. Dong Xi¡¯s perception was definitely not bad. There was demonic energy in this river. Dong Xi went upstream to find the barrier of Fengyu Mountain. After passing through the array, they arrived outside the Beast Trainer Sect. Coincidentally, the ce where the demonic Qi was dense happened to be inside the array. A cool breeze blew past, and Dong Xi felt a little dizzy. Dong Rourou, who had killed her, as well as the Eldest Senior Brother, who had asked Dong Rourou to give Dong Xi a quick death, all appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Dong Xi felt that something was wrong. She chanted a calming sutra to calm herself down and quickly retreated. Dong Xi had only sniffed this demonic Qi once. It was so powerful. It was really terrifying. Dong Xi¡¯s fire spiritual energy was sealed, so she could only grab the snake¡¯s head and shake it. She said, ¡°Big Snake, wake up quickly. Can you stop pretending to be asleep?¡± Su Cheng opened his eyes and felt the world spin. Then, he heard Dong Xi¡¯s voice. Dong Xi said, ¡°You¡¯re finally awake. Is this the ce you¡¯re looking for?¡± Su Cheng did not even need to look. He was very familiar with the demonic Qi not far away. Su Cheng transformed into his human form, his ck hair draped over his shoulders as he walked towards the ce where the demonic Qi was dense. Dong Xi wanted to call out to Su Cheng, but she remembered that Su Cheng was a Demon Lord. How could a Demon Lord be afraid of demonic Qi? Dong Xi saw Su Cheng take out something called Dong Xi and throw it to the side. Soon, that thing disappeared. Dong Xi saw it clearly the moment it disappeared. What Su Cheng threw away was a photostone. Dong Xi curiously took a few steps forward and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to seal this demonic Qi?¡± ¡°This bit of Demonic Qi is fine. Wait a minute.¡± Su Cheng shook his head. After saying that, Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi. His eyes were still cold, but Dong Xi was not afraid. ¡°You¡¯d better stay away from here. Don¡¯t get infected by this demonic Qi,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi obediently retreated. She did not tell Su Cheng that there was something wrong with her spiritual aura. Although the demonic Qi made Dong Xi ufortable, the demonic Qi would be exhausted after circting the spiritual Qi for a few rounds. After a while, seeing Su Cheng walk out of the area with dense demonic Qi, Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Are you trying to set a long line and catch a big fish?¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi. Su Cheng did not say anything. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Strange, you are a demon, right? You didn¡¯t release this demonic Qi?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any demonic Qi left,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. ¡°How can I do such a dirty thing?¡± ¡°You¡¯re really the strangest demon I¡¯ve ever seen,¡± said Dong Xi in a low voice. Su Cheng did not say anything. He moved his body and once again wrapped aroundd Dong Xi¡¯s arm. Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Go back? Back to where? Dong Xi pondered for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Although she knew that it was impossible, she still said, ¡°Are you asking me to return to the Ningtian Sect?¡± ¡°Go to Guo Rui¡¯s ce,¡± Su Cheng said in her sea of consciousness. Dong Xi shrugged her shoulders. She knew that the snake would not let her go so easily. She sighed helplessly and carried Da Fu back along the river. What made people curious was that this time, Guo Rui seemed to know that Dong Xi wasing back. Lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, Guo Rui opened the door for Dong Xi when he saw her. He said lightly, ¡°Did you eat fish?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she stopped in her tracks and looked at Guo Rui with astonishment in her eyes! Chapter 331 - 331 So What If I Eat It? So What If I Don’t Eat It? 331 So What If I Eat It? So What If I Don¡¯t Eat It? Dong Xi looked at Guo Rui in confusion. This guy seemed to know something¡­ Dong Xi bit her lip and looked at Guo Rui¡¯s face. She said, ¡°So what if I eat it? So what if I don¡¯t eat?¡± ¡°If you eat it, you can¡¯t stay here anymore,¡± said Guo Rui indifferently. When Dong Xi heard this, her expression changed and she stared at Guo Rui, her eyes wide. !! This fellow must have known, or else he would not have said that. ¡°Is there something wrong with the fish?¡± Dong Xi frowned. Guo Rui smiled but did not say anything. In Dong Xi¡¯s eyes, this was basically a tacit agreement. This made Dong Xi even more confused. ¡°Since you already know, why don¡¯t you say it?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°You even asked Da Fu to catch fish from the river? Are you really Da Fu¡¯s master?¡± Da Fu was a stupid cat, and it did not know right from wrong. As its owner, Guo Rui did not even stop it from eating the contaminated fish? ¡°If you don¡¯t take good care of him, why raise him?¡± Dong Xi continued. Guo Rui looked at Dong Xi with a faint smile. After Dong Xi finished speaking, Guo Rui said, ¡°Are the Beast Trainer Sect disciples so disrespectful now?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She had almost forgotten that Dong Xi was only a new disciple of the Beast Trainer Sect who was living under someone else¡¯s roof. How could she teach her Uncle-Master a lesson? Dong Xi was a little annoyed. It was all because Guo Rui¡¯s face was too deceiving. He looked about the same age as Dong Xi in her previous life. ¡°Little Girl, there¡¯s one more thing I said wrong. Who told you that Da Fu is my pet?¡± Guo Rui said with a smile. ¡°You didn¡¯t raise Da Fu?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. ¡°The Contract of Equals does not restrict the freedom of the other party. Of course, that includes food and drink,¡± said Guo Rui. Guo Rui emphasized thest word, food, as if he was reminding Dong Xi. Dong Xi said, ¡°But¡­ Uncle-Master, even if it¡¯s a Contract of Equals, Da Fu¡­¡± Dong Xi almost blurted out the word ¡®demonic Qi¡¯. Fortunately, she caught herself in time and raised her head to see Guo Rui¡¯s yful expression. Guo Rui seemed to know what Dong Xi Yao was talking about. Seeing that Dong Xi did not say anything, he seemed a little disappointed. Dong Xi changed her words and said, ¡°If anything happens to Da Fu, won¡¯t your soul be damaged as well?¡± ¡°No,¡± said Guo Rui lightly. ¡°How can you be so sure?¡± asked Dong Xi. As the two of them were talking, Da Fu jumped into Guo Rui¡¯s arms. Guo Rui touched Da Fu and looked at Dong Xi. Guo Rui said, ¡°Haven¡¯t we already tried?¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi looked at the man and cat with a strange expression. Was this little cat really that stupid? It had already been treated as a test subject, yet it still ran over to be petted and yed with? Guo Ruiyzily on the bamboo chair and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t Da Fu fine?¡± ¡°Da Fu is fine?¡± Dong Xi said speechlessly. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because¡­¡± It was because of her! All thanks to Dong Xi! However, Dong Xi could not say it out loud. Dong Xi suddenly felt as if someone had set a long line to catch a big fish. Dong Xi was the biggest fish. Guo Rui smiled and said after a moment, ¡°I see that your cultivation is still low. You won¡¯t be able to catch any fish for Da Fu. Today, the Virtue Benevolence Hall said that they are short of hands, and they need some help. Tomorrow morning, you can go and take a look. ¡± Dong Xi felt extremely aggrieved, but she could only agree. ¡°Yes, I will remember that,¡± replied Dong Xi. Although Dong Xi could temporarily stay in the bamboo house, Guo Rui did not generously give her a house. Fortunately, Dong Xi was used to sleeping in the open every day, so it was just like switching up a different sleeping location. Dong Xi took out a praying mat and sat down. After entering a meditative state, a strand of divine sense extended out from the room. Just as it was about tond on Dong Xi, it was bounced off. ¡°You¡¯re really protective,¡± said Guo Rui. Su Cheng was the only one who heard this. The little ck snake climbed down from Dong Xi¡¯s arm. Then, a light shed and a figure appeared in the courtyard. Su Cheng did not respond to Guo Rui¡¯s teasing. Looking at the figure in the room, Su Cheng said, ¡°That¡¯s much better than you not caring about the stupid cat¡¯s life.¡± Dong Xi kept calling Da Fu a stupid cat, and Su Cheng followed suit and went astray. Guo Rui smiled. His emotions fluctuated, and his eyes turned red. Su Cheng realized this and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be trapped by such low-level demonic Qi.¡± There was a smile on Guo Rui¡¯s face, and his eyes were a little dark red. He was really a little evil. ¡°What do you mean trapped?¡± Guo Rui asked. ¡°This feeling of being filled with power is very fascinating.¡± Su Cheng knew that Guo Rui did not mean what he said. Su Cheng said, ¡°How can your shoes not get wet if you walk by the river all the time? You¡¯re borrowing demonic Qi every day now. When the demonic Qi takes over, it¡¯ll be your death date, right?¡± Chapter 332 - 332 No Way 332 No Way At that time, Su Cheng and Guo Rui had both discovered the influence of the demonic Qi, so they left the Demon Realm to find a way to get rid of the demonic Qi. Unexpectedly, Guo Rui still had no way. Guo Rui looked at Su Cheng enviously. Guo Rui said, ¡°You have outstanding talent. How can Ipare to you? If the eight great sects hadn¡¯t disturbed youst time, you would have sessfully passed the Lightning Tribtion and Ascended, right?¡± Su Cheng did not mention this matter and directly changed the topic to the Beast Trainer Sect. Su Cheng said, ¡°You¡¯ve been in the Beast Trainer Sect for so long. Do you know where this demonic qies from?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. You should have sensed it before you came, right?¡± Guo Rui said helplessly. ¡°This bamboo house is actually an array formation. I can¡¯t get out at all.¡± !! Su Cheng looked at Guo Rui and said, ¡°Looks like your demonic Qi problem is more serious than I thought¡­¡± This bamboo house was a huge array that could suppress the demonic Qi on Guo Rui¡¯s body. It was also because of this array that Da Fu was like a stupid cat. Guo Rui did not deny it and asked curiously, ¡°Old Su, how did you get rid of the demonic Qi so cleanly?¡± Su Cheng smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. You just need to disperse your cultivation and cultivate again.¡± Guo Rui was stunned and said in disbelief, ¡°Are you really going to disperse your cultivation? Why didn¡¯t you reach the Immortal Ascension stage two years ago?¡± ¡°When I first came here¡­¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°I use up all my cultivation.¡± Guo Rui said in shock, ¡°Old Su¡­ You¡¯re really crazy.¡± Su Cheng smiled and took out a bottle of Exorcism Pills and threw it to Guo Rui. Su Cheng said, ¡°Take your medicine first. We¡¯ll talk about dispersing your cultivationter.¡± Guo Rui looked at the figure cultivating in the courtyard again and said, ¡°Who is this girl to you?¡± Su Cheng lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression. Su Cheng said, ¡°Nothing.¡± Guo Rui chuckled a few times, not believing it at all. ¡°You and I have known each other for so long. Do you really think I¡¯m a fool?¡± Guo Rui said. ¡°This girl has your soul imprint in her sea of consciousness, and your inner core is also in her body. From the looks of it, her bone age is only 12 or 13 years old. Otherwise, I would have thought that she was your Dao Companion.¡± Su Cheng frowned. This matter had to be exined clearly. ¡°This girl saved me,¡± said Su Cheng. Guo Rui rolled his eyes at Su Cheng. Guo Rui said doubtfully, ¡°This girl¡¯s cultivation is so low. You can y with her to death with just a stretch of your hand. How?¡± Su Cheng transformed into his human form and was much taller than Guo Rui. He looked down at Guo Rui and said, ¡°Believe it or not, but if you want to live, you have to find a way to protect her during this period of time.¡± Guo Rui looked at Su Cheng¡¯s snake tail and said something that hit his sore spot. Guo Rui said, ¡°What is it? You¡¯ll kill me for her? You can¡¯t even fully transform into a human now, and you still dare to talk big?¡± Su Cheng was not angered. He looked at Dong Xi¡¯s thin figure and said, ¡°Doesn¡¯t your race know a little about the Heavenly Dao? There are many things that I don¡¯t say, but you know in your heart. Don¡¯t pretend to be confused.¡± Guo Rui was speechless. Guo Rui¡¯s family had the talent of knowing the future by looking at the past. However, Guo Rui could not tell the fate of this girl. The current Guo Rui could only rely on his talent. Perceiving this girl was the key to Guo Rui¡¯s survival. Guo Rui kept looking at Dong Xi. Su Cheng did not say anything else. He turned around and left. He transformed into a little ck snake again and coiled around Dong Xi¡¯s arm. He nced at Guo Rui and closed his eyes. When Dong Xi was cultivating, the spiritual energy around her was abundant. Su Cheng closed his eyes and followed Dong Xi¡¯s breathing rhythm. Dong Xi cultivated for a whole night and was extremely happy. The spiritual energy in this courtyard was even denser than that of the cave abode. One had to know that there was still half a spiritual vein below Dong Xi¡¯s cave abode! Dong Xi was a little reluctant to leave this ce. Although Guo Rui¡¯s personality was a little strange, but¡­ For the sake of cultivation, Dong Xi could endure humiliation. The dark night passed and the sky started to brighten. Dong Xi woke up and stretched her body. After a night of cultivation, Dong Xi loved the spiritual energy even when she breathed. However, this ce was also a little bad¡­ Dong Xi could not practice his swordsmanship openly. It did not matter. Who could still practice the sword when they reached the Beast Trainer Sect? Dong Xi wanted to go to the Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s library to take a look. She might see some pretty good spells. However, before Dong Xi left, she still had to make a trip to the Virtuous Benevolence Hall that Guo Rui mentioned. Virtue Benevolence Hall was in charge of all matters in the Beast Trainer Sect. Dong Xi rushed over with her identity token. The manager of Virtue Benevolence Hall took a look, then casually picked up a jade token at the side and threw it to Dong Xi. The manager said, ¡°That¡¯s your mission!¡± Chapter 333 - 333 The Manager Is Poor at Delegation 333 The Manager Is Poor at Delegation Dong Xi took the jade token and found that the task was to water the spirit nts. Dong Xi was very puzzled. Watering? Those were all done by disciples with water spirit roots. Dong Xi had an earth spirit root now, and she was a trash with low attributes. She could loosen the soil for the spirit nts, but watering them? This manager was quite poor in delegating tasks. Dong Xi could not figure it out, but she had already epted the mission, so she still had to go. !! ording to the jade token¡¯s guidance, she easily arrived at the Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s spirit herb garden. There were a lot of spirit nts here. No matter what, Dong Xi had taken the exam at the Ningtian Gate, so she recognized all these spirit nts. Their levels were not high, only at tier one or two. Dong Xi stood at the door and saw a disciple holding a pole. When that disciple saw Dong Xi, he immediately passed the pole to Dong Xi. The disciple said, ¡°Junior Sister, it¡¯s your turn now. I¡¯ll be going back.¡± After saying that, the disciple ran away. Dong Xi hurriedly shouted, ¡°Senior Brother, Senior Brother, don¡¯t go yet. Where can I get water? I don¡¯t have a water spirit root!¡± When the disciple heard this, he stopped in his tracks and pointed in a direction. The disciple said, ¡°There¡¯s a well over there.¡± After saying that, the disciple ran away. Dong Xi walked in with the carrying pole. She muttered, ¡°He ran really fast. Is he being chased by ghosts?¡± Dong Xi had yet to realize the seriousness of the situation. She took the bucket and walked in the direction that disciple had mentioned. Soon, they saw a well. There was a barrier on the well, as if it was afraid that people would fall into it. Dong Xi had never fetched water before. Every time she threw the bucket down, it would float on the surface of the water. She could not fetch water at all. Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then picked up a stone and ced it in a bucket, filling it with water. However, after bringing the bucket up, Dong Xi instinctively used her spiritual energy to investigate. Then, her expression changed drastically. Such water¡­ could it be used to water spirit nts? Dong Xi turned around stiffly and saw that the spirit nts behind him had moved. One of the me Flowers even grew teeth and looked especially scary. At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation technique suddenly started to circte rapidly. She lowered her head and found a Ghost Vine slowly approaching. ¡°What the hell is this?!¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Is the entire Beast Trainer Sect full of demonic Qi?¡± Since things had alreadye to this, could it be that the disciples had not reported it? Doesn¡¯t the sect care? Dong Xi threw an Exorcism Pill into the bucket and started watering the spirit nts. The spirit nts slowly quieted down. However, no matter what, she had to persist for six hours. She would ask Guo Rui when she got back. Dong Xi had a premonition that Guo Rui knew about Dong Xi¡¯s background, so he was absolutely confident in letting Dong Xie. Dong Xi was sitting beside the field, with a bucket of water beside her. ording to Dong Xi¡¯s opinion, it would be best if these spirit nts that had been infected by the demonic Qi were dried up or not watered. However, she had a job to do. She even used the waterdle to practice her swordsmanship. If she encountered any spirit nt that was contaminated with demonic Qi and was restless, Dong Xi would directly pour water with the Exorcism Pill on it, and the spirit nt would immediately be obedient. Those spirit nts that were tainted by the demonic Qi did not have intelligence. After attacking many times, these spirit nts also realized that Dong Xi was not to be trifled with, so they all behaved. Dong Xi was in a corner, holding a waterdle to practice her swordsmanship, and flying in a corner with these spirit nts that were contaminated with Demonic qi. After the mission waspleted in eight hours, Dong Xi threw down the bucket anddle and ran to the bamboo house. As soon as Dong Xi entered the courtyard, she shouted, ¡°Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master.¡± Just like yesterday, Guo Rui was resting on the bamboo chair. At this moment, the setting sun hung on the bamboo branches. Dong Xi pushed open the gate. Crack¡­ Dong Xi did not say anything she wanted to say. She looked at the broken fence in her hand in disbelief and looked at Guo Rui in shock. Guo Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled. He said, ¡°Pay up.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. She could encounter such scammers everywhere she went. Or did her strength really increase after tempering her body? Dong Xi looked at the fence door in her hand. The vines that were originally used to secure it had already broken. Dong Xi put the gate aside and said, ¡°I¡¯m not paying. I¡¯ll fix it for you in a while.¡± Although Dong Xi was rich now, she could not let others bid at will, right? Guo Rui looked at Dong Xi in surprise but did not say anything. He said, ¡°Why did youe back in such a hurry?¡± ¡°Martial Uncle, you know everything, don¡¯t you?¡± Dong Xi immediately said. ¡°Those spirit nts are contaminated with Demonic qi?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s expression was serious, and Guo Rui could not give her a perfunctory answer. Guo Rui smiled and nodded with a rxed expression. ¡°Everyone in the sect knows about it, right?¡± Dong Xi continued. ¡°How would I know?¡± Guo Rui said. ¡°Little Girl, it¡¯s not your ce to care, so don¡¯t be too¡­¡± However, before Guo Rui could finish, Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t care? Then why did you let me go? You want me to catch fish for Da Fu? Guo Rui, what are you trying to say? Do you have to beat around the bush like this, guessing and wasting time?¡± ... Chapter 334 - 334 Stop Pretending 334 Stop Pretending Guo Rui was silent for a long time before he said, ¡°You even stopped calling me Martial Uncle¡­¡± Dong Xi stopped pretending. Guo Rui should know her identity anyway. As for the rtionship between Guo Rui and the Big Snake, Dong Xi did not care. She just wanted to know what else she needed to do. Dong Xi looked at Guo Rui and waited for his answer. Guo Rui also looked at Dong Xi. A momentter, Guo Rui was defeated. Guo Rui thought of Su Cheng, who would attack at the slightest disagreement. He looked at Dong Xi with eyes full of inquiry. Guo Rui said, ¡°Forget it. Your temper is bad enough. I really don¡¯t know how Old Su can stand it.¡± Old Su? Dong Xi was a little surprised. She knew that Guo Rui was talking about Su Cheng. It seemed that the rtionship between the two of them was deeper than Dong Xi had thought. ¡°You two know each other?¡± asked Dong Xi. Guo Rui nodded. Dong Xi asked curiously, ¡°How did you meet him?¡± Guo Rui smiled and said nothing. ¡°Fine.¡± Dong Xi waited for a moment and said. Dong Xi thought of something. She looked at Guo Rui and said, ¡°You are also a demon?¡± This word was very subtle. Guo Rui was also very curious about the rtionship between Dong Xi and Su Cheng. He wondered what Old Su had done to make this girl willing to work for the two of them. ¡°Cut the crap,¡± Guo Rui changed the topic and said, ¡°You¡¯ve almost walked all over the Beast Trainer Sect these past two days. What did you find?¡± Guo Rui changed the topic! Since he did not dare to answer, Guo Rui was 99 percent a demon. Dong Xi secretly noted this down in her heart. She said, ¡°The Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s water source, spirit nts, and some demon beasts are all contaminated with demonic Qi. Although the Beast Trainer Sect disciples know a little, they don¡¯t dare to say anything.¡± Who could make the Beast Trainer Sect disciples shut up? ¡°That¡¯s right. The Sect Master of the Beast Trainer Sect, Wu Ren, is doing his best to save the sect. But now, there are people in the Beast Trainer Sect who are going against Wu Ren,¡± said Guo Rui with satisfaction. ¡°Who is it?¡± Dong Xi frowned. ¡°I don¡¯t know who exactly it is, but I can guess quite urately.¡± Guo Rui shook his head. ¡°You know how to perform divination too?¡± asked Dong Xi curiously. ¡°I guess so?¡± Guo Rui thought for a moment and said. Dong Xi looked at Guo Rui and said in confusion, ¡°Since you can calcte it, why don¡¯t you just find a loophole and tell Wu Ren?¡± Guo Rui, ¡°¡­¡± Guo Rui also wanted to go out, but he could not. Moreover¡­ ¡°Why should I help Wu Ren?¡± asked Guo Rui. Dong Xi looked at Guo Rui¡¯s half-smile and suddenly remembered that if Guo Rui was a demon, he would not help the Beast Trainer Sect at all. Instead, he would cause trouble. ¡°You were the one who put the demonic Qi in the water?¡± Dong Xi asked with her eyes wide open. ¡°Did you do all of this to the Beast Trainer Sect?¡± Guo Rui did not say anything, and Dong Xi did not expect him to answer. Dong Xi took out a pen and paper and began to write and draw. It¡¯s just fortune-telling. Who doesn¡¯t know how to do it? Dong Xi wrote two whole pages. When she was done, she took the two pieces of paper to read. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that I know that this matter has nothing to do with you.¡± Guo Rui kept looking at Dong Xi and suddenly understood why Old Su treated this girl so specially. This girl was very special. Everything she did was different from other people and demon beasts. Even Guo Rui was attracted by Dong Xi¡¯s strange behavior. ¡°I can¡¯t say that it¡¯spletely unrted,¡± Guo Rui said lightly. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment and checked the calctions again. ¡°Could it be that I¡¯ve made a mistake in my calctions? No way!¡± Dong Xi frowned. Guo Rui continued, ¡°That¡¯s because I came to the Immortal cultivation world at that time. In order to confuse the Heavenly Secrets, I set up a formation here. I thought that I wouldn¡¯t be discovered. I didn¡¯t expect that someone would use the formation I left behind toe here in the past 1,500 years.¡± This time, it was the demon race. He did not know who it was. Su Cheng and Guo Rui came here only to hide their demonic energy and not be discovered. However, after this person came, he went ahead and invaded a sect. There was too much information in Guo Rui¡¯s words. Dong Xi held the piece of paper and stood there. After a long time, she came back to her senses and said in a low voice, ¡°Are you really from the Demon Realm?¡± Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°But¡­ Why don¡¯t you have any demonic Qi on you?¡± Guo Rui smiled, his eyes curved. With his face, he really looked like a young man. Guo Rui said, ¡°I don¡¯t have demonic Qi because I¡¯m powerful.¡± Dong Xi looked at Guo Rui and smiled. She said sincerely, ¡°You¡¯re indeed powerful. You¡¯re so powerful that you can¡¯t even leave this bamboo house.¡± Guo Rui¡¯s face instantly darkened, and the smile on his lips disappeared. If it was in the past, he would have smacked this little girl¡­ Chapter 335 - 335 Can’t Say It 335 Can¡¯t Say It Forget it, if it was in the past, Guo Rui would not have done anything to Dong Xi. Guo Rui was willing to talk, but because he had been trapped here for too long and spent all day with a stupid cat, he could not argue with someone else now. Guo Rui did not argue too much with Dong Xi. He said, ¡°Did you go to the spirit herb garden today to pick spirit herbs?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Of course, as an alchemist, how could she not pluck herbs? !! Seeing that picking spirit nts had be an instinct, even if these spirit nts were contaminated with demonic Qi, she would still pick them. ¡°Wait for a while,¡± said Guo Rui. ¡°Go to the river at the back of the mountain and fill up a bottle of water. Then, we¡¯ll go back.¡± If this little girl was a magical transformation cultivator, she could still stay here and help, but she was only a Qi Refinement stage cultivator. What could she do? Perhaps, she could only help deliver some letters or whatever. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard that. She could return to the sect? Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. Su Cheng said, ¡°Dream on.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. ¡°Then what do you want me to do?¡± Dong Xi asked in her sea of consciousness. ¡°Wait a moment, let¡¯s go to the Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s canteen,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi agreed. Although she did not know what Su Cheng was up to, there were so many people in the canteen. There should not be any idents. Dong Xi purposely came to the canteen during mealtime. There were really a lot of people here, but almost all of them were in the Qi Refinement stage. Dong Xi also ran into acquaintances, Yuan Shao and Cao Zhen, who she had just met. The two of them also saw Dong Xi. Cao Zhen immediately shouted, ¡°Junior Sister Dong Li!¡± Dong Xi turned around and saw that the two of them were also holding tes. Dong Xi went over. ¡°Hello, Senior Brother. You¡¯re here to eat too?¡± Dong Xi called out. ¡°That¡¯s right. After dinner, we still have to go to the Rose Pce to clear weeds,¡± Yuan Shao said bitterly. Dong Xi originally wanted to say that weeding was not difficult, but when he thought of the spirit nts that were contaminated with demonic Qi, Dong Xi¡¯s expression instantly became indescribable. It seemed that those weeds were not much better¡­ ¡°Senior Brother, what happened to the sect?¡± Dong Xi asked vaguely. ¡°What can we do?¡± Cao Zhen did not say anything. He took out hismunication jade slip and gave Dong Xi a look. Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and read the message Cao Zhen had sent. ¡°Junior Sister, you can enter the sect now but not leave. If you want to leave, you have to go on a mission. If you can leave in the future, you have to run quickly.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened, and she bit her lip. Her expression was very serious. What was that? She could not go out? Dong Xi immediately sent a message to Cao Zhen. [Can¡¯t go out? Can you contact the outside world?] Cao Zhen did not continue to reply. Instead, he shook his head at Dong Xi. This¡­ This was troublesome¡­ Dong Xi really did not expect to encounter a hellish difficulty the moment he came out to train¡­ Dong Xi sent another message. [Senior Brother, what is the Sect Master doing? Doesn¡¯t he care about this?] Cao Zhen replied quickly. [It¡¯s said that the Sect Master has already gone into seclusion.] At such an important time, the Sect Master was in seclusion? There was only one possibility, and that was that the current Sect Master could not even protect himself. Dong Xi had never thought that she could turn the tide in this storm. Even if she wanted to, she did not have such great ability. Now, she had to think of a way to contact her Master and report everything to the sect so that everyone could be on guard. As for Dong Xi¡­ Although those two did not seem very reliable, but at least they were Big Shots. Dong Xi¡¯s life was not in danger. Even so, Dong Xi still put on the turtle shell magic tool and stuck a few defensive talismans on his clothes. Only then did she feel a little safe. The three of them sat together and ate. Cao Zhen looked at Dong Xi¡¯s arm. Cao Zhen said in surprise, ¡°Junior Sister, where¡¯s your demon beast?¡± Dong Xi looked at her arm. The little ck snake had already disappeared. When the Big Snake asked Dong Xi toe over, she knew that the Big Snake was probably here to look for something. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s too stuffy, so it went out to get some fresh air,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Cao Zhen did not ask further. Demon beasts and humans had different habits. It was just that Junior Sister Dong Li did not seem to like putting demon beasts into the Demon Beast Bag. After finishing her meal, Dong Xi had just left to look for the Big Snake when she saw a ck shadow flying over and hanging on her neck. Dong Xi was speechless. Big Snake, don¡¯t you know how heavy you are? It was already so big now. It was no longer a small snake! The Big Snake almost broke Dong Xi¡¯s neck. After parting ways with her two Senior Brothers, Dong Xi went to the mountain gate. Just as she approached the mountain gate, two disciples suddenly appeared and stopped Dong Xi. ¡°The sect has activated the array. No one is allowed to go out!¡± said one of them. Chapter 336 - 336 Can’t Go Back 336 Can¡¯t Go Back Dong Xi immediately frowned. She was fine when she came, but now she could not go back. ¡°Big Snake, you tricked me!¡± Dong Xi said in his sea of consciousness. Although Dong Xi felt terrible in her heart, he did not seem to be affected at all. Originally, she wanted to get close to these two people and see if she could get anything out of them. !! However, Dong Xi took a step forward and noticed that there were red fluctuations in the eyes of the two disciples. Dong Xi, ¡°?! ¡± Didn¡¯t the eight great sects already help the Beast Trainer Sect disciples get rid of the demonic aura previously? Why was there still demonic Qi in the disciples guarding the door? Where did the Exorcism Pills that the Beast Trainer Sect spent so much money on go? Dong Xi had a million questions in his heart. All of this made Dong Xi¡¯s mind go numb, and her head was in a daze. The cultivation technique in her body spun wildly, and there was only one thought in her mind. The Beast Trainer Sect had been deceived. Dong Xi turned around and left. He called out to Su Cheng in his sea of consciousness and said, ¡°Big Snake, what do we do now? I can¡¯t get out!¡± Su Cheng did not remain silent this time. He said, ¡°Then don¡¯t go back. Let¡¯s go straight to the Skill Hall to take a look.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Wow, this Big Snake was really bold. Dong Xi knew she should not go, but she did not stop walking. She stood at the entrance of the Skill Hall and kept persuading herself. It was fine. If anything happened to the Beast Trainer Sect in the future, these cultivation techniques would disappear. It was such a pity. It would be better for Dong Xi to learn and pass it down in the future. Dong Xi exhaled a few times and walked inside with her head held high and chest puffed out. When she reached the door, she gave the waist token to the gatekeeping disciple. The gatekeeping disciple took a casual nce and allowed Dong Xi to enter. After Dong Xi entered, she found that there was no one here. She was immediately puzzled. Were all Beast Trainer Sect disciples so unmotivated? Just as Dong Xi was feeling puzzled, an old man sitting not far away nced at Dong Xi. The old man said, ¡°Those whoe to the Skill Hall now are all heartless.¡± Dong Xi came back to her senses and looked at the old man. She saw that the old man was wearing an Elder¡¯s robe. Dong Xi stepped forward and bowed respectfully. ¡°Martial Uncle, why didn¡¯t anyonee today?¡± ¡°What else can I do?¡± the old man said coldly. ¡°They all went to the Mission Hall.¡± Dong Xi recalled that Cao Zhen had said that he would try his best to ept the missions so that he would have a chance to escape. It seemed that most of the disciples thought the same. ¡°Martial Uncle, isn¡¯t it good for everyone to go and ept the mission?¡± Dong Xi pretended to be innocent and sweet. ¡°I¡¯ll choose a powerful spell technique today and cultivate it. After that, I¡¯ll go and do missions for the sect.¡± When the old man heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was stunned. Should he interrupt this girl¡¯s hot-blooded passion? The old man was silent for a long time before he said indifferently,¡±The eighth bookshelf on the right. There¡¯s apartment on the top shelf.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. There was something good there! ¡°I don¡¯t know if you can cultivate it, ¡± the old man continued. ¡°It was ced by Ancestor White Cloud. It¡¯s waiting for the fated person.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± They were all ced in the mezzanines, waiting for the fated person? No one would pry open the mezzanines for no reason, right? No wonder Senior Brother said that many ancient spells had been lost. If all the ancestors hid the skill manuals like this, no one would be able to find them, right? ¡°Thank you, Uncle-Master.¡± Dong Xi bowed respectfully and said, ¡°Now that I have received your guidance and know of this spell, it means that I am fated with spells.¡± When the old man heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was stunned on the spot. He recovered his senses and said with a smile, ¡°This girl is quite good at talking.¡± Just as Dong Xi was about to go and take a look at the spell, the old man continued, ¡°I see that you are very likable. If you have nothing to do in the future, just stay in your cave abode and try not toe out.¡± Dong Xi knew that the old man was giving her advice. It seemed that the old man knew something. ¡°Yes, I will remember it,¡± replied Dong Xi obediently. ¡°I can see that you¡¯re focused on spells. Go and take a look.¡± The old man waved his hand. Dong Xi cupped her fists and obediently took three steps back. Then, she turned around and happily ran towards the bookshelf. Dong Xi mumbled, ¡°The eighth bookshelf¡­ One¡­ Two¡­ Eight ¡­¡± After finding the bookshelf, Dong Xi took a look and could tell that it was all about the maintenance of spirit nts. Dong Xi thought to herself, ¡®Does this Ancestor White Cloud really want the art to be lost?¡¯ Dong Xi gathered the spiritual energy under her feet, lifted herself up, and rose to the top of the bookshelf. The bookshelf was spotless. Dong Xi knocked on the mezzanines, and sure enough, there was a hollowpartment. How could she take it out? Dong Xi struggled for a long time, and finally gave up thinking. Dong Xi gathered the spiritual energy in her palm and pped it directly. These bookshelves were all made of steel and wood. If it was an ordinary Qi Refinement stage cultivator, they might not be able to open them. However, Dong Xi also cultivated her body. With a single palm strike, there was a palm print on the bookshelf, and there was even an additional¡­ Cracks. ... Chapter 337 - 337 Carry Forward 337 Carry Forward Dong Xi continued to punch at the crack, and a hole was instantly revealed. Dong Xi took out a jade slip. She did not expect to be the one to carry forward the Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s spell techniques in the future. Dong Xi immediately looked at the jade slip in her hand. There were twoplicated words on it. ¡®Earth Evasion¡¯ Dong Xi was extremely happy. She would have many more life-saving methods in the future. It did not matter if she was flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or drilling in the ground! Dong Xi held the jade slip and could not stop smiling. She identally saw another book. It was a book named ¡®Demon Flower Care.¡¯ Dong Xi¡¯s interest was piqued. The Demon Flower was a type of attack spirit nt. It was as big as a manhole cover. During the reproduction process, the flower te would be evenrger. All the goods near the Demon Flower would be eaten and used to feed the Demon Flower itself. The disadvantage was that this spirit nt was very difficult to grow. Many cultivators had tried to raise the Demon Flower to increase theirbat strength, but the survival rate was very low. There were also many uncertain factors in battle. This book, Demonic Flower Care, exined in detail how to germinate, elerate the growth of the nt, and what the conditions for the reproduction device were. Dong Xi read the book and suddenly had a bold idea in her heart. If shebined the Demon Flower and the Earth Evasion together¡­ This was also a very good attack method. Dong Xi smiled, closed the book, and took out a nk jade slip to copy it. Therefore, people should read more books. After Dong Xi finished copying the book, she looked around again. Dong Xi found a book that contained somemonly seen and highly alternative spell techniques. Compared to the other books, this one looked a little sloppy and was even much thinner than the others. However, the name of this book was very attractive to Dong Xi. It was called Beast Taming Technique. These few words were concise andprehensive! The other Beast Trainer Sect disciples might not care, because they would learn the basics after entering the sect. Dong Xi nced at the sleeping little ck snake. Who would¡­ refuse the chance to order around¡­ a Demon Lord? Dong Xi immediately took out a nk jade slip and started to copy the Beast Taming Technique. After everything was done, Dong Xi was about to leave. Seeing that the old man was still meditating, the old man looked at the sunlight outside with a face full of desire. ¡°Uncle-Master, do you want to bask in the sun?¡± Dong Xi asked in confusion. The old man turned around and looked at Dong Xi. The old man restrained his expression and said, ¡°You got the spell?¡± Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°I got it. It¡¯s an earth-type spell. I happen to be an earth-type.¡± The old man nodded and did not say anything. Dong Xi looked at his legs and said, ¡°Martial Uncle, are your legs inconvenient? Do you need me to help you?¡± ¡°No need.¡± The old man shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ll be going back now. Martial Uncle, I don¡¯t know how to address you,¡± Dong Xi scratched her head and said. ¡°Master Wushan,¡± said the old man indifferently. Dong Xi remembered this in her heart. After bowing respectfully, she left the Skill Hall. After leaving the Skill Hall, Dong Xi could not help but be excited. She had a great harvest today. She obtained an escape technique, the Earth Evasion, and the book ¡®Demon Flower Care¡¯. In the future, she could secretly nt flowers in the soil and use them to attack. Of course, she also had the Beast Taming Technique. When she returned, she would definitely take a good look. Dong Xi had an unfair contract with the snake. If she learned the Beast Taming Technique, she should be able to fight against the snake. Just as Dong Xi was thinking about where she should go to cultivate, the earth suddenly shook. Dong Xi was shocked. Was there an earthquake? Dong Xi thought of Master Wushan who was unable to move in the Skill Hall. She frowned and ran back. Regardless of whether it was really inconvenient or not, since Master Wushan had given Dong Xi an opportunity, Dong Xi should go and take a look. What if there was anything she could help with? Dong Xi ran back and saw that the building was shaking. The disciples who had been guarding outside had disappeared. Dong Xi rushed in and saw that Master Wushan was still sitting on the spot. Without needing to think, Dong Xi rushed over and carried the old man along with the praying mat out. Master Wushan had his eyes closed and felt that something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, he saw a head. ¡°You¡­¡± Daoist Wushan said. ¡°Little Girl, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Martial Uncle, my Elders taught me to run to an open space during an earthquake,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Dong Xi carried Master Wu Shan into the courtyard and then put him down. Master Wushan looked at Dong Xi with aplicated expression. Master Wushan said, ¡°You can actually move me?¡± Dong Xi did not think too much about it and squatted beside Master Wushan. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°You are not heavy. I am born with divine strength.¡± Cough, cough, bragging. If she did not cultivate her body, her original body would be much weaker than those children in the cultivation world. ... Chapter 338 - 338 Something’s Wrong! 338 Something¡¯s Wrong! Master Wushan frowned and muttered to himself, ¡°Something¡¯s not right!¡± Master Wushan was sealed on the futon and was unable to leave. Many of the Elders in the sect had been deceived at the beginning. They had been tricked into making everyone the center of the array to seal the demonic Qi. After they seeded, they could leave. However, after they seeded, everyone realized that this so-called array core only trapped these Elders. The demonic Qi was still there. !! By the time they discovered it, it was already impossible for the Elders to leave. They werepletely sealed on the array core and could not move. If they were to leave by force, it would result in disastrous consequences. Previously, the demonic Qi only came out from small cracks. If these people forcefully left, the cracks would be bigger. At that time, the Beast Trainer Sect would be enveloped in demonic Qi. However, how could this little girl carry Wushan so easily? Daoist Wushan pondered for a long time. In the end, he could only think that the earthquake had loosened the seal. Dong Xi put Master Wushan down and looked around. There were very few people around the Skill Hall, and there was nothing unusual. Dong Xi looked at Master Wushan again and said, ¡°Martial Uncle, do you know why there was an earthquake? I¡¯ve never seen such a strong earthquake!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. Your cultivation is very low. Hurry up and go back.¡± Master Wushan shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ll send you back first,¡± Dong Xi nodded and said. ¡°No need, I can do it myself,¡± said Master Wushan. Dong Xi did not force him. She felt that Master Wushan cared about his face and that it was inconvenient for Dong Xi to stay here. She cupped her fists and left. After Dong Xi left, Master Wushan supported himself on the ground and tried to stand up. However, he was unable to stand up. He realized that he seemed to have grown on the futon. Master Wushan was instantly stunned. This¡­What was going on? Could it be that the seal from a few years ago only sealed them onto the futon? No one would have thought that a little disciple would carry out Master Wushan and the futon together, right? Master Wushan immediately fell silent. He sat on the spot and raised his head to look at the sky. The setting sun shone on Master Wushan¡¯s body, giving him ayer of gold. Master Wushan smiled bitterly. He had wanted to bathe in the sun for a long time. This time, he had to touch the sun because¡­ He could not get up on the futon, and his cultivation was suppressed. Sitting in the courtyard like this was no different from the stone blocks in the sect. The originally lively Skill Hall was now very deserted. It was estimated that no one woulde today. He would wait until he saw some disciples tomorrow, and ask them to carry him back. However, Dong Xi did not know that her subconscious actions had opened the door to a new world for Master Wushan. From then on, the disciples of the Beast Trainer Sect carried the Elders everywhere. Some Elders who wanted to save face even got out small pnquins and let two disciples carry them. Of course, Dong Xi did not return to the Bamboo Courtyard at this time. Big Snak told Dong Xi to go to the ce where the photostone was ced. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go when you ran so fast?¡± Dong Xiined. ¡°Why did you make me your tool?¡± Su Cheng¡¯szy voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. He said, ¡°It¡¯s so that you can see the world.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Should I thank you?¡± Dong Xi gritted her teeth. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite,¡± said Su Cheng lightly. Dong Xi was almost angered to death, but Su Cheng looked calm andposed. The two of them quarreled, but their speed was not slow at all. Dong Xi did not dare to use Earth Shrinking here, so she could only eat the Wind Speed Pill to increase her speed. When she reached a certain speed, his visibility became much lower. Dong Xi narrowed his eyes and looked around warily. Dong Xi said, ¡°Are you demons all blind? It¡¯s so dark, I can¡¯t see anything clearly.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m blind?¡± Su Cheng asked coldly. When Dong Xi heard this, she fell silent. Su Cheng was not blind, but Dong Xi was. If Dong Xi was not blind at that time, she would not have picked up Su Cheng and brought him back. She would not have appeared in the Beast Trainer Sect now. Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi did not say anything, so he subconsciously entered Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness and happened to hear this sentence. Su Cheng¡¯s eyes shed with joy. He looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for me, the disciples of the Beast Trainer Sect would have killed you that day, right?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. Su Cheng continued, ¡°That¡¯s not right either.¡± Dong Xi thought that Su Cheng had a conscience and wanted to say something nice. Su Cheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll be able to wait for the Beast Trainer Sect disciples. You would have lost your life during the Ningtian Sect disciple¡¯s trial.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Why was this Big Snake so narrow-minded? How could he remember such a trivial matter so clearly? However, Su Cheng was right. He had already repaid Dong Xi¡¯s life-saving grace. Chapter 339 - 339 Demonic Qi Is Black? 339 Demonic Qi Is ck? Dong Xi did not want to dwell on this topic, so she said, ¡°Why did the visibility suddenly drop? The demonic Qi is ck?¡± Su Cheng shook his head and said very patiently, ¡°Demonic Qi has no color. When ites into contact with spiritual energy, it will be dim and dark.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no spiritual energy in the Demon Realm?¡± asked Dong Xi curiously. ¡°Then how do you cultivate?¡± ¡°Cultivation in the Demon Realm doesn¡¯t require spiritual energy, because it¡¯s all demonic Qi,¡± said Su Cheng. It was a long story, and Su Cheng did not have much patience. He said directly, ¡°You just stand here. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Dong Xi obediently stood on the spot and used the earth spiritual energy to protect herself. Although it could absorb demonic energy, the speed was very slow. Dong Xi was also afraid that the demonic energy would bring irreversible effects. The surroundings were very quiet. Su Cheng did not make any sound as he walked. Dong Xi¡¯s heart palpitated. She subconsciously spread out her spiritual energy and immediately realized that something was wrong behind her. She pped her palm behind her, causing the wind to blow up the fallen leaves. Dong Xi could not see what it was. She could only sense that it had disappeared. What good things could be hidden in the demonic Qi? Dong Xi immediately changed into a green dress and red shoes. At this moment, she could not care less about his identity. Staying alive was the most important thing. Dong Xi was very d that she had the earth spirit root. The earth spirit root had the best defense. As long as the thing that tried to attack did not leave, it would leave a mark on the ground. Dong Xi¡¯s earth spiritual Qi would quickly detect it. Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation technique suddenly started to circte. Dong Xi vigntly observed the surroundings. Dong Xi realized that something was wrong in all four directions. However, she would need at least three breaths of time. Within three breaths, Su Cheng would probably be back. This time, Dong Xi¡¯s perception was wrong. The things did not care about Dong Xi at all, and they all rushing towards Su Cheng. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Su Cheng was a Demon Lord. It was impossible for these little things to be in any danger to him. After calming herself down, Dong Xi felt that Su Cheng had always been helping her. Could Dong Xi do something to help Su Cheng now? Dong Xi looked at the darkness in front of her and pondered for a moment before taking out a formation disk. It was also a gift from the sect Elder. This array disc was a little special. The reason why it was a high-grade was not only because of its attack. It was because no matter what kind of spirit root the cultivator had, the spiritual Qi injected into the array disc would cause different attacks. Dong Xi thought for a moment and took out the Thunderstruck Wood. The power of lightning could destroy evil spirits, so it should have some effect on demonic qi as well. Dong Xi caught the Thunderstruck Wood and guided the power of lightning into the array disk. Then, he saw that a small world seemed to be confined. Dong Xi was shocked. Was this a Domain? He actually hid his Domain in the array disc. No wonder her Master said that Master Hong Yuan was a genius of the Ningtian Gate. Following the activation of the array disc, Dong Xi used the Thunderstruck Wood to cast a spell. Bolts of lightning struck the dark demonic Qi. The dense demonic Qi was struck and faintly dissipated. Dong Xi¡¯s face lit up as bolts of lightning struck down. Su Cheng had just taken out the photostone and was about to leave when he noticed something strange behind him. Su Cheng slowly stretched out his hand. At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down. Su Cheng was speechless. However, there was no end to this. Lightning struck down one after another. This lightning waspletely useless against Su Cheng. However, anyone would be irritated if they were struck too many times. Su Cheng walked out of the demonic Qi with a gloomy face. He saw a little girl dressed in colorful clothes not far away. She was ying with the array disc and wood very happily. Su Cheng immediately knew where the annoying lightning came from. Su Cheng walked towards Dong Xi with a gloomy face. When Dong Xi saw Su Cheng, she immediately put away the array disc and the Thunderstruck Wood, lifted her skirt, and ran over. Just as Su Cheng was about to ask, Dong Xi reacted even faster. Dong Xi took out a defensive talisman and stuck it on Su Cheng¡¯s body. Dong Xi looked around warily and said, ¡°You¡¯re finally out. Be careful. We don¡¯t know what¡¯s lurking around us.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s anger was instantly extinguished. He said honestly, ¡°Got it.¡± ¡°Did you get the photostone?¡± asked Dong Xi. Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Then let¡¯s leave quickly.¡± Dong Xi did not want to ask what was inside the photostone at all. She was afraid that if she said more, she would be used as a tool by the Big Snake. After saying that, Dong Xi turned around and was about to leave, but Su Cheng had no intention of leaving. Dong Xi stopped and looked at Su Cheng. Su Cheng raised his hand, and there seemed to be something surging in the demonic Qi. Then, Su Cheng clenched his fists, and the sound of something exploding came from the demonic Qi. Dong Xi looked at the demonic Qi that had quieted down a little bit and immediately fell silent. ... Chapter 340 - 340 Just A Rookie 340 Just A Rookie Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then walked to Su Cheng¡¯s side and took down the defensive talismans one by one. Forget it, Dong Xi was just a rookie. Su Cheng looked at the little girl who had just reached his chest. In order to enter the Beast Trainer Sect, she had taken off her iconic bun, leaving only her hair that had been curled up after being electrocuted and casually tied into two braids. Su Cheng frowned and made a hand seal. The defensive talisman on his body instantly disappeared. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng in confusion. Dong Xi said, ¡°Where are my defensive talismans?¡± Dong Xi frowned. There was still some baby fat on her cheeks. Her bright eyes were like a clear spring in summer, making people want to dive into them. Su Cheng¡¯s pupils suddenly changed, and Dong Xi immediately sensed the killing intent. Instinctively, he took a few steps back and kept a distance from the Big Snake. After a moment, Su Cheng¡¯s expression rxed. He nced at Dong Xi and said indifferently, ¡°If I remember correctly, these defensive talismans were given by me, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a socialist that collects money from the people, and then distributes it back to them,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Xi was a little annoyed. What the hell was she saying? Su Cheng did not understand, but he smiled and looked at Dong Xi meaningfully. Dong Xi roughly understood. She knew that Su Cheng would not pursue the matter, but she could forget about getting the defensive talisman back. Dong Xi felt a little pained. The Thunderstruck Wood in her hand was almost used up, and Dong Xi identally broke it. Dong Xi looked at the damaged Thunderstruck Wood in her hand and felt a chill in her heart. She had really suffered a great loss this time. When Su Cheng saw this scene, he was in a good mood andughed gloatingly. Dong Xi stomped her feet and turned to leave. Su Cheng took this opportunity to raise his hand and form a seal. This seal was veryplicated. The green seal was like a flourishing flower. Su Cheng pushed the seal out, and itnded in the area where there was dense demonic Qi. Dong Xi sensed the voice behind him. She turned around again and found that the demonic Qi seemed to have faded a lot. ¡°You sealed this ce?¡± asked Dong Xi. Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi continued, ¡°If you do this, what if they find out?¡± Su Cheng ced his hands behind his back, looking like an expert. Su Cheng said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. They all think that it was Guo Rui who did it.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Alright, since that was the case, it was good to seal the demonic Qi here. ¡°Is there any way to get rid of all the Demonic Qi here?¡± asked Dong Xi. No one in the cultivation world knew more about demonic Qi than Su Cheng. Dong Xi asked the right person, but there was no result. ¡°No.¡± Su Cheng shook his head. ¡°Demonic Qi and spiritual energy are two different things. They can only dissipate bit by bit with time.¡± This time, Dong Xi did not follow. She said, ¡°Big Snake, I realized that I can absorb demonic Qi. Why don¡¯t I stay here and cultivate while you go ahead?¡± Su Cheng immediately understood what Dong Xi meant. She wanted to turn herself into a spirit nt by consuming all the demonic Qi. Su Cheng said, ¡°You know the consequences of being contaminated by demonic Qi.¡± Dong Xi saw Su Cheng¡¯s gaze and said with a smile, ¡°I know, but demonic Qi doesn¡¯t seem to work on me. I realized that I can use demonic Qi to cultivate, and I don¡¯t even need to convert it, so I gave it a try.¡± Su Cheng lowered his head and stared at Dong Xi, making her feel guilty. Dong Xi thought that Su Cheng would not agree, but Su Cheng returned to his original form without saying a word and sat on arge rock. Su Cheng¡¯s voice appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. He said, ¡°You cultivate, I¡¯ll protect you.¡± Although Su Cheng was much smaller now, Dong Xi felt an inexplicable sense of security when she saw him. Dong Xi knew because she had always regarded Su Cheng as her backer. She immediately sat on the fallen leaves on the ground. The falling leaves rustled. As Dong Xi entered a meditative state, the surroundings became quiet again. Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi and closed his eyes. Previously, Dong Xi had coincidentally discovered that the demonic Qi did not seem to have any effect on her. She recalled that she could use spiritual energy to cleanse the Big Snake of his poison, so she thought that this spiritual energy might be special. When Dong Xi was cultivating, it would take a long time for her to absorb the water, wood, and fire spiritual energy and transform it into purple energy. Although it would take a long time to absorb the demonic Qi, it would be easier as long as the spiritual Qi circted once. Su Cheng had thought that Dong Xi would spend the night again. However, he did not expect that Dong Xi would open her eyes only after three days. Dong Xi looked inside her Dantian, then raised his head to look at Su Cheng. He wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Cheng asked. A cold voice rang out in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. Dong Xi had long since gotten used to it and was very indifferent. However, if one looked carefully, one could still find that Dong Xi was feeling somewhat guilty. Chapter 341 - 341 Gritting His Teeth 341 Gritting His Teeth Dong Xi revealed a ttering smile and said, ¡°Big Snake You¡¯re a good snake, aren¡¯t you? If I do anything wrong to you, you probably¡­ won¡¯t get angry, right?¡± Su Cheng stared straight at Dong Xi. Su Cheng¡¯s emotions fluctuated greatly. In the next moment, Su Cheng¡¯s figure appeared in the dense forest again. Su Cheng¡¯s skin was fair. When he got excited, the arteries on his neck could be seen clearly. Dong Xi did not even need to say anything. Su Cheng could understand it with just a slight sense. Su Cheng said, ¡°You you¡¯re really bold, aren¡¯t you?¡± If Su Cheng had not said it through gritted teeth, Dong Xi might have thought that Su Cheng was praising her. Dong Xi lowered her head obediently, not daring to look at him. The Big Snake¡¯s inner core was in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. She did not expect it to have such an effect. Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation had been very smooth just now. The cirction and absorption of demonic Qi had also be much faster. After circting it for threerge cycles, Dong Xi realized that something was not quite rightThe snake¡¯s inner core seemed to be tainted with some demonic Qi. Dong Xi whispered, ¡°I didn¡¯t want this to happen either. Who knew that when the demonic Qi saw your inner core, it would be like a mother seeing her baby. It would immediately pounce on you. No matter how hard I tried, it couldn¡¯t be stopped¡± It was very normal to encounter idents in the cultivation world. This little bit of demonic Qi was settled with an Exorcism Pill. However, in the future, Dong Xi would have to be more careful when she used demonic Qi to cultivate. In this way, the giant snake¡¯s inner core would be a burden. Dong Xi took out the Exorcism Pill and was about to consume it when she checked the inner core again and found some changes. The Big Snake¡¯s inner core was suspended in Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. The purple spiritual energy was like a wave, hitting the surface of the inner core again and again. Upon closer inspection, the inner core had a faint purple glow. The demonic Qi surrounded the inner core like a dark cloud, floating with the inner core. An idea suddenly appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. It was just a little whimsical, but Dong Xi still wanted to try. Dong Xi tried to control the demonic Qi. At first, the demonic Qi did not move at all. Dong Xi was depressed and used the purple spiritual Qi to p the inner core. After venting his anger, she tried again. Su Cheng looked at the demonic Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s hand in shock. ¡°You¡± Su Cheng said. Why could this girl use demonic energy? Where did this girle from? Could it be that she was also from the Demon Realm? But it did not look like it. Previously, Dong Xi did not have any demonic Qi on him. From the age of her bones, Dong Xi was only a child in her teens. She did not look like someone who had scattered her cultivation and re-cultivated. Dong Xi looked at the demonic Qi in her hand. It changed shape ording to her will and she was very satisfied. After ying for a while, Dong Xi blinked and looked at Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, ¡°Big Snake, can you use the power of your inner core?¡± Su Cheng nodded his head. If Dong Xi was within a hundred feet of Su Cheng, Su Cheng could indeed use the power of his inner core. If she was more than a hundred feet away¡± Wait a minute, Su Cheng seemed to know what this girl meant. Su Cheng raised his hand. When he saw the demonic Qi in his hand, his expression was a littleplicated. This feeling was both familiar and strange. It was really wonderful. It had been many years since Su Cheng had used demonic Qi, but the demonic Qi he had now waspletely different from before. If the demonic Qi in the past was a wild beast, the demonic Qi now was an obedient dog. Moreover¡­ There was no bacsh? Su Cheng lowered his head and pondered as he looked at the demonic energy dancing in his hand. However, Su Cheng knew very little about family bloodlines and spirit bodies. He could not understand at all. If Dong Xi could really tame the demonic Qi, it would be different. Su Cheng came back to his senses and looked at Dong Xi. Su Cheng said, ¡°Remember, don¡¯t show it in front of others in the future.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I promise I won¡¯t. I¡¯m not stupid,¡± said Dong Xi. If other people knew that Dong Xi could use demonic Qi, they would not let Dong Xi have a good time, be it Righteous or Demonic. When Su Cheng heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he frowned and said doubtfully, ¡°You¡¯re not stupid?¡± Dong Xi frowned. Su Cheng revealed an undetectable smile. He turned around and walked back. Su Cheng said, ¡°Follow me.¡± Dong Xi agreed and immediately left with him. Before leaving, she immediately absorbed some demonic Qi. However, he could not absorb too much, or else Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual energy might not be able to suppress it, and it would be easy for the demonic Qi to leak out. The two of them returned to Guo Rui¡¯s bamboo house. This time, the fence door was closed, and so was the bamboo house door. Dong Xi stood in the courtyard and shouted for a long time, but no one answered. ¡°Isn¡¯t Guo Rui not allowed to leave?¡± Dong Xi asked curiously. ¡°Why isn¡¯t he here?¡± At this moment, a cat¡¯s meow came from inside the house. Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Su Cheng said, ¡°Then that means Guo Rui doesn¡¯t want to open the door for us.¡± Chapter 342 - 342 We Know 342 We Know Dong Xi agreed with Su Cheng. She shouted, ¡°Uncle-Master, I¡¯ming in.¡± How could a fenced door stop Dong Xi? Dong Xi directly jumped over the gate and entered the courtyard. Then, the door opened and Da Fu rushed out and jumped into Dong Xi¡¯s arms. Guo Rui followed suit. ¡°How infuriating,¡± Guo Rui said angrily. ¡°The door is closed. Can¡¯t you tell that you¡¯re not wee?¡± ¡°We know that you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Martial Uncle. If you really didn¡¯t wee us, you would have activated the restriction long ago,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Guo Rui, ¡°¡­¡± Guo Rui was so angry that heughed. Looking at the little girl carrying Da Fu, Guo Rui said, ¡°Dong Xi, you little girl, you¡¯re really like a mother. When you¡¯re begging me, you call me ¡®Senior Uncle¡¯ or ¡®Uncle Master¡¯ affectionately. After you¡¯ve used me, you actually dare to call me by my name.¡± Dong Xi saw that Guo Rui was about to dig up old scores and immediately said, ¡°Martial Uncle, what happened to you? Why don¡¯t you wee us?¡± Guo Rui¡¯s eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You really don¡¯t know?¡± Dong Xi shook her head with a nk expression. ¡°What did you do at the back of the mountain?¡± asked Guo Rui. Dong Xi instantly understood. She said honestly, ¡°Since you already know, you should understand that this has nothing to do with me.¡± Guo Rui clenched his fists in anger and paced back and forth at the door. He looked a little older than before. Guo Rui said,¡± Stop exining. You¡¯re a nest of snakes and rats! ¡± ¡°Uncle-Master, Su Cheng is a snake, but I am not a rat,¡± said Dong Xi as she puffed out her chest. The next second, the snake lying on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder opened its eyes and looked at Guo Rui. Guo Rui immediately shut up. Seeing that the scene had quietened down, Dong Xi said, ¡°Martial Uncle, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words were like a fire, instantly igniting a barrel of gunpowder. Guo Rui said, ¡°How can I not be angry? You¡¯re clearly selling me out by doing this!¡± Then, Guo Rui heard Su Cheng¡¯szy voice. Su Cheng said,¡± You can¡¯t go out anyway. You have to contribute something. ¡± Guo Rui did not say anything else. Dong Xi put down Da Fu and said, ¡°Uncle-Master, I¡¯m reading a book at the side. If you need anything, just call me.¡± Dong Xi left, but Su Cheng did not. ¡°You have an agreement with them?¡± Su Cheng asked. ¡°How could I have the ability to do that? ¡± Guo Rui shook his head. ¡°Making an agreement with them is like ying the lute to a cow. Have you ever seen anyone reason with a mad dog?¡± ¡°Then why did these people let you stay here for so long?¡± asked Su Cheng curiously. Guo Rui¡¯s n was adept in divination. They could look into the past as well as the future. However, they were not good at fighting. For such a Guo Rui to be able to stay in a corner of the Beast Trainer Sect where demonic Qi was rampant, he must have something to rely on. Su Cheng had already guessed something, but he still wanted to hear what Guo Rui had to say. ¡°This is the core of the formation,¡± said Guo Rui. Guo Rui and Su Cheng had a thousand years of friendship. The two of them were able to leave the Demon Realm together because they trusted each other. Back then, there was a passageway between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm. However, after the great war between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm tens of thousands of years ago, the mighty figures of the Immortal cultivation world sealed the passageway. 1,500 years ago, there was a crack in the barrier between the two worlds. At that time, Su Cheng had already reached the realm of the Demon Lord. However, his Ascension path was sealed, and he could not proceed. If he stayed in the Demon Realm, no matter how high his cultivation was, he would one day be devoured by the demonic Qi. Su Cheng went to Guo Rui to see what the future would be like. Guo Rui knew what Su Cheng was thinking then. Guo Rui still remembered how he had answered back then. He said, ¡°We won¡¯t know until we tried. We have to try.¡± The heavens had the virtue of cherishing life. Even if these people did things that wereparable to Ascending to the heavens, they were still given a chance for survival. Su Cheng¡¯s thoughts had always influenced Guo Rui. Guo Rui also went to check the seal of the Immortal realm¡¯s mighty figure again. In the end, they found a way to escape the seal. Guo Rui and Su Cheng agreed that the two of them would go to the cultivation world from different directions. If anyone could reach it alive, they would try their best to find a way to Ascend. Guo Rui did not expect that the two of them would actuallye to the cultivation world. However, the gap that Su Cheng passed through became bigger and bigger every year, allowing countless demonic Qi to enter the cultivation world. Su Cheng imitated the sealing array here and managed to block the demonic Qi. Guo Rui had arrived at the Beast Trainer Sect through the gap. In order to resist the Mental Demons, Guo Rui used the seal to suppress the demonic Qi on his body. This bamboo house was also the core of the array formation. How could the demons that followed Guo Rui here dare to approach? Chapter 343 - 343 Double-Edged Sword 343 Double-Edged Sword Even Guo Rui¡¯s cultivation was suppressed to the point where he could not use demonic energy, let alone those demons. Su Cheng listened to Guo Rui¡¯s words and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t this like a double-edged sword?¡± Guo Rui smiled bitterly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to do this either, but there¡¯s no other way.¡± Su Cheng looked at Guo Rui and said seriously, ¡°Think carefully. My purpose here is to Ascend. If you continue to dy here, even if you have a long life, you will die one day. Without destruction, there will be no establishment. You are an Immortal beast, so you shouldn¡¯t use demonic Qi.¡± Guo Rui¡¯s thoughts were veryplicated, but he did not say anything, nor could he say anything. Su Cheng only reminded Guo Rui and did not let him make a decision. Su Cheng said, ¡°Think about it.¡± Such a choice was very painful. Their current cultivation was just one step away from Ascending. Now that they had scattered their cultivation and started all over again, it was equivalent to all their years of hard work being wasted. Guo Rui sat on the futon and pondered for the whole night. Dong Xi had also sat outside for the entire night. She originally wanted to study how the demonic Qi would turn into purple spiritual energy after being absorbed. Could purple spiritual energy turn into demonic Qi? However, Dong Xi had just tried and felt something strange in the bamboo house. The demonic Qi in Dong Xi¡¯s body was attached to Su Cheng¡¯s inner core. Dong Xi allowed the purple spiritual energy to devour it at will. There was no reaction at all. ¡°I almost forgot that there¡¯s a formation here,¡± muttered Dong Xi. This array was very powerful. No wonder Guo Rui said he could not leave this ce. As the moon rose, Dong Xi did not waste any time and entered a meditative state once again. When Dong Xi was cultivating seriously, she noticed that the unknown elements around her had increased exponentially. Su Cheng, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the bamboo house. Then, he looked at Dong Xi. Su Cheng¡¯s expression became even moreplicated. At this moment, Dong Xi was surrounded by a gray object. She was absorbing the surrounding energy crazily. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual energy was already circting very quickly, and her meridians were faintly aching. If Dong Xi had not tempered her meridians before, she would not have been able to withstand such an absorption speed. After a night, the door of the bamboo house was opened. Dong Xi, who was cultivating, also opened her eyes. Her eyes shed, and she felt refreshed from the breakthrough. Dong Xi stretched and said with a smile, ¡°Good morning, Uncle-Master.¡± Guo Rui nodded. Dong Xi felt that something was wrong with Guo Rui today. Compared to the past, Guo Rui seemed like an ordinary person. Dong Xi scratched the back of her head. Forget it, it was normal for these big shots to return to their original state. Dong Xi had no right to ask. Dong Xi checked her own cultivation and was instantly shocked. ¡°I broke through! I broke through!¡± Dong Xi jumped up happily. This was not normal. Dong Xi vaguely remembered thatst night, she seemed to have felt a strange energy. It was especially strong, and Dong Xi had only absorbed a small portion of it by daybreak. However, she did not expect that this small portion would send her to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage. Guo Rui looked at Dong Xi, who was extremely happy, and his face gradually darkened. Su Cheng knew what had happened. Looking at the defeated Guo Rui, Su Cheng felt a little amused. However, Su Cheng was happy that Guo Rui could let it go. If an Immortal beast fell into the Demon Realm, it would have to cultivate demonic Qi if it wanted to escape. However, once it left the Demon Realm, the demonic Qi would be like gangrene, which was detrimental to cultivation. Dong Xi went from the small courtyard to the bamboo forest. She performed a set of fist techniques and felt the power. She was very happy. Guo Rui stood on the steps and watched Dong Xi practice. He was very envious. Guo Rui¡¯s current cultivation was not evenparable to a child¡¯s Just as Guo Rui was feeling depressed, Su Cheng appeared in front of him. Su Cheng handed Guo Rui a small spirit-gathering array. Su Cheng said, ¡°Take it and cultivate.¡± Guo Rui, ¡°¡­¡± Guo Rui thought, ¡°Fine. I have a long life and good talent anyway. I¡¯ll eventually be strong again.¡± ¡°Wait until you start cultivating with spiritual energy instead of demonic Qi,¡± Su Cheng continued. ¡°The inheritance in your body will be unlocked bit by bit.¡± Guo Rui was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Cheng. Guo Rui suppressed his excitement and was a little confused. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Guo Rui asked. ¡°You didn¡¯t ask me,¡± Su Cheng said indifferently. Guo Rui, ¡°¡­¡± How could he ask? Guo Rui did not even know about this. If Guo Rui had known, he would have started to disperse his cultivation and re-cultivate a few hundred years ago. Why would he wait until today? Su Cheng immediately saw through Guo Rui¡¯s thoughts. Su Cheng shook his head and said, ¡°This time, it¡¯s not a Heart Tribtion for you. You have to go through it yourself.¡± Guo Rui stood rooted to the ground and started thinking. Chapter 344 - 344 How Do You Know? 344 How Do You Know? After a long time, Guo Rui came back to his senses and looked at Su Cheng. Guo Rui said, ¡°How do you know? Could it be that you also have an inheritance? Since you also have one, your ancestor must be someone strong. What race are you from?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s hands were behind his back as he looked at the figure jumping up and down in the distance. Su Cheng did not say anything, and Guo Rui did not continue to ask. ¡°You¡¯re just hiding it,¡± said Guo Rui. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you can keep it a secret for the rest of your life.¡± After saying that, Guo Rui took the small spirit-gathering array and the praying mat into the house. After closing the door, the courtyard returned to silence. Dong Xi also stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground. She took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to her Master, Senior Brothers, and Senior Sisters, but no one responded. Dong Xi also slowly began to believe that the current Beast Trainer Sect had no way of contacting the outside world. Dong Xi sighed lightly and took out the voice transmission talisman that her Master had given her from her storage ring. Dong Xi had asked for these voice transmission talismans from her Master. She wondered if they would be useful now. Dong Xi folded the paper crane seriously. Watching the paper crane fly away bit by bit, Dong Xi immediately followed. When the paper crane flew to the Beast Trainer Sect¡¯s array, it actually stopped. A momentter, it flew around like a headless fly. In the end, it triggered the secret protection device and instantly became motionless and fell to the ground. Dong Xi frowned. Even high-grade voice transmission talismans could not fly out? What should she do? Was she really going to be trapped? Did she have to fight with the disciples of the Beast Trainer Sect for a mission just to get out? As Dong Xi was thinking, a sound came from behind her. Dong Xi turned around and saw Su Cheng. ¡°Even the voice transmission talisman can¡¯t leave. What should I do?¡± Dong Xi asked subconsciously. Su Cheng was experienced and knowledgeable. He would definitely have a way, right? Su Cheng did not disappoint Dong Xi. He looked down at Dong Xi and spoke in a calm tone, as if he did not care about this matter. ¡°Stand up,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng and said unhappily, ¡°You don¡¯t have a solution?¡± ¡°I have a way.¡± Su Cheng shook his head. Dong Xi said excitedly, ¡°Is there really a way?¡± Su Cheng nodded. His long and narrow eyes carried a tsundere look as he said, ¡°Since I brought you in, I will naturally bring you out.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she became happy. He really gave off a sense of security! ¡°Follow me,¡± said Su Cheng. Su Cheng had Dong Xi change her appearance. With a wave of his hand, he took out a bunch of defensive talismans and covered Dong Xi¡¯s body. Even if Dong Xi¡¯s Master came, he might not be able to recognize her. Dong Xi suddenly felt her body be heavy. These defensive talismans made Dong Xi feel as if she was wearing heavy armor. However, these defensive talismans were much more useful than armor. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi beside him and said, ¡°Are you ready?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m ready.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°But we¡¯re leaving. Don¡¯t we need to take care of Guo Rui?¡± ¡°You¡¯re so kind. Nothing will happen to Guo Rui,¡± said Su Cheng in surprise. Even if Guo Rui had already dispersed his cultivation and re-cultivated, he still had a powerful body and the talent to know the past and the future. How could these small fries from the Beast Trainer Sect hurt Guo Rui? Dong Xi shut her mouth. After hearing Su Cheng¡¯s words, Dong Xi immediately understood that Guo Rui wasn¡¯t that simple. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Su Cheng asked again. ¡°I¡¯m ready!¡± Dong Xi replied honestly this time. After saying that, Dong Xi widened her eyes, wondering how the snake would bring her out. Su Cheng raised his hand and carried Dong Xi up. Then, he rushed towards the Beast Trainer¡¯s Sect¡¯s mountain gate at an extremely fast speed. The mountain gate was the technique of the entire sect¡¯s protective array formation. Su Cheng¡¯s spell technique made the entire array a little shaky, and the mountain gate was also cracked. Two ovepping figures shed past. The spy from the demon race of the Beast Trainer Sect also discovered this situation and immediately sent people over to repair the array formation. At this time, Su Cheng had already brought Dong Xi to the foot of the mountain. Guo Rui looked at the sky, especially at the slight shaking of the array. Guo Rui did not even need to use his divination talent to know what was going on. This was all done by Su Cheng. In the corridor outside the Skill Hall, Master Wushan immediately took out amunication jade slip and contacted the other Elders. At the same time, he ordered his disciples to carry him to the mountain gate. Those who were closer to the mountain gate also rushed into the crack. Very soon, the array formation was repaired. In a short 15 minutes, more than 40 people from the Beast Tamer Sect actually ran out. Dong Xi stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the spirit fields in front of him. She smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯re finally out!¡± Initially, Dong Xi had thought of all kinds of possibilities. She thought that Su Cheng would break the array and that he might have some kind of magic tool or high-grade talisman. Chapter 345 - 345 Extremely Powerful 345 Extremely Powerful He did not expect Su Cheng to break the formation so violently. It was truly iparably powerful. Dong Xi turned around and was about to praise Su Cheng when she saw that Su Cheng¡¯s expression was especially bad and his lips were especially pale. The moment Dong Xi turned around, Su Cheng¡¯s tall body smashed toward Dong Xi. The moment he touched her, he turned back into a small snake. The little ck snakey limply on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder. At this moment, Su Cheng was very simr to when Dong Xi had just picked him up. Dong Xi was quite frightened and immediately injected spiritual energy into Su Cheng¡¯s body to investigate. There were still some toxins that had not been cleaned up on Su Cheng¡¯s body. Other than this, there were no other injuries. It was just that Su Cheng¡¯s spiritual energy had been exhausted. Dong Xi gave some spiritual energy to Su Cheng, but found that it was not very effective. The little spiritual energy that Dong Xi had injected was like a stone sinking into the sea. Dong Xi gave all of her spiritual energy to Su Cheng, and she ate a top-grade Spirit Restore Pill. Although this bit of spiritual energy was not of much use, it was still better than nothing. After doing all this, Dong Xi did not dare to stay any longer. She immediately took out the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman and disappeared from the spot with the little ck snake. The Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman could not teleport at a fixed location, so Dong Xi did not know where she would be sent to. The golden power ofws surrounded Dong Xi, and her body slowly dissipated. When Dong Xi reappeared, she saw a deep pool in front of her. The dark green water emitted a chill that made people¡¯s hair stand on end at a nce, as if there was a huge beast here. Dong Xi walked a little further away and took out hermunication jade slip to send a message to her Master. Dong Xi told Master Lingxu everything that the Beast Trainer Sect had discovered was wrong. At present, it was basically confirmed that the Beast Trainer Sect had been infiltrated by the demons. The demons even hid it from the seven great sects. In Dong Xi¡¯s opinion, her Master had to quickly tell the Sect Master about this matter. He might not have time to pay attention to her for a while. However, in the next moment, his Master¡¯s angry roar came from the jade slip. Lingxu said,¡± Little Xi, how did you know about these things? ¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± She only told her Master that she went out to train. She did not tell him that she was going to the Beast Trainer Sect! Dong Xi coughed a few times. Forget it, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. Dong Xi sent a voice message. Dong Xi said, ¡°Disciple knows her mistake.¡± ¡°Where are you now?¡± asked Lingxu nervously. ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± replied Dong Xi honestly. Then, she realized that something was wrong. Before Master Lingxu lost his temper, Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, I ran away from the Beast Trainer Sect and used a Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman. I don¡¯t know where I was teleported to now. I only know that there¡¯s a veryrge deep pool beside me. The water in the pool is dark green and it¡¯s surrounded by very tall stone walls¡­¡± ¡°Go and see if there are any cities nearby. Be careful of demon beasts. If there¡¯s any danger, use the jade pendant I gave you. I will report this matter to the Sect Master now.¡± After Dong Xi agreed, she put away themunication jade slip and stood up from the big rock. She looked at the pond water and immediately climbed up the stone wall. Dong Xi felt uneasy. He knew that this was because of the cultivation technique. There might really be something in this deep pool. It was frighteningly quiet here. There were no birds or beasts, and there was not a single fish in the pond. Now that Su Cheng was in a deep sleep, it was impossible for him to help Dong Xi. The defensive talisman that he had stuck on Dong Xi¡¯s body was not removed. Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual energy gathered on her hands and feet, and she quickly climbed up. Her speed was very fast, and she even used some movement techniques. However, Dong Xi had just climbed halfway when he felt a strong winding from behind her. She reacted quickly. The first thing she did was to use her spiritual energy to create a protective barrier for herself, then use Ethereal Steps to quickly dodge. The water pir hit the stone wall, and half of it copsed instantly. Dong Xi did not have time to look back. She used the Earth Evasion Technique and hid inside the stone wall. The stone wall behind Dong Xi kept copsing. Dong Xi ran for 15 minutes, shuttling through the stone wall. It consumed more spiritual energy to shuttle through the earth. Not long after, Dong Xi¡¯s spiritual energy was exhausted and she immediately came to the surface. There wererge trees all around, and some small spirit beasts had started to appear. Dong Xi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Dong Xi did not dare to stay any longer after eating the top-grade Spirit Restore Pill. She took out her flying magic tool and left immediately. Dong Xi thought to herself, ¡®What exactly is in the water?¡¯ Is it a fish? Dong Xi did not think too much about it and took out themunication jade slip to read. She had been in the Beast Trainer Sect for too long and had always been out of contact. No one could contact Dong Xi. Dong Xi had only been thinking about escaping earlier, so she had not had the time to look at it. Now, she realized that there were already over a hundred messages. Ke Xin and Chi Yan came out of seclusion and saw Dong Xi¡¯s group chat. At first, they were a little surprised, butter on, when they both had improvedmunication jade slips, they still did not receive a reply from Dong Xi. Chapter 346 - 346 Are You Still Alive? 346 Are You Still Alive? Ke Xin did not receive a reply from Dong Xi for a long time, so she sent another message. [Sister, are you still alive?]Chi Yan immediately sent a message. [Don¡¯t worry, I just saw Dong Xi¡¯s life token. It¡¯s still lit.] Dong Xi saw the conversation between the two and hurriedly replied. [I¡¯ve always been alive. I went to a ce, but I can¡¯t send a message.] When Ke Xin saw Dong Xi¡¯s reply, her mood immediately became much better. She hurriedly sent a message. [Sister, you scared me. Where are you? I¡¯ll pick you up?] When Dong Xi saw Ke Xin¡¯s message, she smiled and replied. [No need. I don¡¯t know where this is either. I¡¯ll talk to you when I get back.] Seeing that Dong Xi was safe and sound, Chi Yan felt relieved and sent a message. [Have a safe journey.] After Dong Xi finished chatting with her sisters, she was very surprised to see a message. It was actually a message from Cao Zhen. [Junior Sister, the mountain gate has been sted open by a mighty figure. Run, run quickly!] Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Could Dong Xi say that this crack was caused by the snake on her body? Dong Xi also wanted to know if Cao Zhen hade out. [Senior Brother, you guys ran out too?] When Cao Zhen saw this message, he smiled and hurriedly replied. [I happened to be feeding the thunder tiger at that time. When I passed by the mountain gate, I ran out. Senior Brother Yuan Shao didn¡¯t get to escape. His reaction was slow. When he arrived at the mountain gate, he was already unable toe out. Junior Sister, have youe out?] Dong Xi replied. [I also ran out.] Cao Zhen,¡±That¡¯s good! Junior Sister, where are you? The two of us can take care of each other.] Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Senior Brother Cao Zhen, we can¡¯t be together anymore. If this goes on, my identity might be exposed. Dong Xi thought for a moment and sent a message to Cao Zhen. In that case, he probably would not follow her anymore, right? When Cao Zhen saw this message, he thought for a moment and replied. [We¡¯re already out, so what¡¯s the point of going home? We have to think of a way to help Senior Brother Dian and the others. I want to go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to ask for help.] Dong Xi replied immediately. [In that case, I¡¯ll send a message to the Fellow Daoists of Thunder Sound Temple first and then go home. Senior Brother, I really want to go home. It¡¯s good to live peacefully for a hundred years. I¡¯m still so young I don¡¯t want to die.] After Cao Zhen saw it, he could not persuade her anymore. Cao Zhen replied. [Everyone has their own aspirations.] Dong Xi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She put away the jade slip and hurried back to the sect. The forest was dense, and one could not see the end of it. From time to time, some birds would attack Dong Xi. If Dong Xi could beat them, she would fight back. If she could not beat them, she would try her best to hide. Fortunately, three days had passed and the Hidden Spirit Pill had lost its effectiveness. After flying for a long time, she finally saw a city at the border of the forest. Dong Xi¡¯s exhausted body suddenly regained strength. She could finally talk to someone. Dong Xi jumped down from her flying tool and looked at the city in front of her. A weathered que hung on the city gate. ¡®Qinan City¡¯! There were knife marks on the sign, as if it wanted to split the sign. Looking at the peopleing and going, this city was very prosperous. Dong Xi looked at the sign and pondered. She muttered to herself, ¡°Qinan City?¡± It sounded very familiar. He felt like he had heard this name before. Dong Xi pondered for a long time. She nced at the little ck snake and immediately remembered. Wasn¡¯t this the city where the demons massacred all those years ago? Because of this, Su Cheng was treated as an evil demon. She actually ended up here by ident. Dong Xi took out a jade slip and sent the location to her Master and Senior Brothers and sisters. Then, she began to walk toward the city. Just as she reached the city gate, someone stopped her. ¡°20 low-grade spirit stones to enter the city,¡± said the man. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too expensive?¡± Dong Xi still remembered that when she went Fotai City, she only paid 5 low-grade spirit stones. The guard looked at Dong Xi with disdain. The guard said, ¡°If you think it¡¯s expensive, you can choose not to go in.¡± When the old man behind Dong Xi saw this scene, he said, ¡°Girl, you shouldn¡¯t skimp on the spirit stones. Qinan City is next to Xing¡¯an Forest and there are often beast tides. I think it¡¯s getting dark again, and it might get dangerous. It¡¯s safer to stay in the city.¡± Dong Xi had never been here before. Hearing the old man¡¯s words, she instantly felt that 20 low-grade spirit stones were indeed not expensive. ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± Dong Xi cupped her fists. Dong Xi had already taken off her defensive talisman and put it away carefully. She was wearing the men¡¯s clothing that she had just bought in the cultivation world. It looked very cheap at a nce. ... At Dong Xi¡¯s waist was a shabby storage bag that was used by poor people. Dong Xi counted 20 low-grade spirit stones and gave them to the guard. Just as she was about to enter, the guard stopped Dong Xi again. The guard said, ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Chapter 347 - 347 Charging for Spirit Pets 347 Charging for Spirit Pets Dong Xi looked at the guard in confusion. The guard pointed at the snake on Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°We also charge for spirit pets. Same price.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± The snake had given Dong Xi a lot of spirit stones before, so she could not just leave the snake behind just to save 20 low-grade spirit stones. Of course, she could not just give the spirit stones to the guards. After all, she did not want to expose her wealth. Dong Xi frowned and began to bargain with the guard. When the guard became impatient and wanted to chase Dong Xi away, she unwillingly rummaged through her entire body and took out 20 low-grade spirit stones and gave them to the guard. The sky was especially gloomy, as if it was going to rain heavily. As more and more people entered the city, Dong Xi also quickened her pace. With so many people entering the city, it would be a problem to find a ce to stay at night. Many years ago, this ce was still a small border city. Now, because there were more peopleing here to catch demon beasts, it became prosperous. As they entered the city, they were greeted by a mor. The cultivators here basically lived a life of bloodshed, and their personalities were more violent. Fighting was forbidden in the city, but g duels were allowed. There was arge arena in the center of the city, which was specially used to settle grudges between the cultivators in the city. The city was divided into eight areas. It was said that when it was built, the people of Destiny Valley came to take a look. If they built it ording to this blueprint, they would have the strength to fight against the demons in the future. Dong Xi searched for half a day, but all the inns were already packed. Seeing that the heavy rain wasing, Dong Xi thought that she had to have a ce to hide from the rain. She looked at the tavern opposite and walked in. The tavern was filled with burly men dressed in animal skins. As soon as Dong Xi entered, a pungent smell assaulted her nose. The smell of sweat was mixed with the smell of alcohol. Dong Xi frowned and raised her hand to cast a cleaning spell. The smelly house was immediately cleaned up, and the smell of sweat on the burly man¡¯s body was also gone. When the waiter saw this situation, he was stunned and looked at Dong Xi who had just entered. The waiter was very puzzled. This Fairy looked young and did not look like a rich person. She most likely wanted to hide here from the rain. ¡°Hmm, do you have any good wine?¡± Dong Xi nodded. He was a guest, and a cultivator at that. The waiter led Dong Xi to the side and pointed at the sign on the wall. The waiter said, ¡°An ordinary turbid wine, a slightly spicy zing me Wine, and a rtively fresh Green Bamboo Wine There¡¯s also the Golden Cicada Wine, which is much more expensive.¡± Dong Xi took out 10 low-grade spirit stones and said, ¡°A pot of turbid wine.¡± When the waiter heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was not surprised. The waiter said, ¡°Little Fairy, please wait a moment.¡± Dong Xi found a seat by the window and sat down. Not far away, a few strong men who were drinking and ying dice shouted, ¡°Little girl.¡± Dong Xi looked over. Two of them walked over with wine jugs in their hands. One of them said, ¡°Little girl, you drink too?¡± Dong Xi nodded. It had already started to rain outside. The raindrops fell on the green stone bricks, sshing patterns. The two of them sat opposite Dong Xi. Because of their burly figures, it looked a little crowded when they sat together. ¡°Are you here to hide from the rain?¡± asked one of them. Dong Xi did not pay attention to them. She just looked at the two of them warily, wondering what they were trying to do. Another person said, ¡°It¡¯s obvious that you just came. You can¡¯t afford to stay in an inn. Business is especially good on rainy days.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. ¡°Is there anything wrong with the rain?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if it rains,¡± said the person who had spoken earlier. ¡°But its a different story when there is thunder. Once there is lightning and thunder, the demon beasts in the forest wille out.¡± Dong Xi looked at the thick dark clouds outside and felt that the situation was not good. The man continued, ¡°You just got here. Do you want to join our team? When the weather is clear, we¡¯ll go to the forest to catch demon beasts. If we catch high-level demon beasts, let alone an inn, we can even buy a house.¡± Dong Xi could tell at a nce that one of them was at the 7th level Qi Refinement stage, while the other was at the 5th level. With their cultivation, they actually wanted to capture a high-level demonic beast? Dong Xi pretended to be flustered. She whispered, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do. My cultivation level is too low, so I might drag you all down.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Our Boss can teach you how to cultivate,¡± said another person. She pretended to be a noob to gain their sympathy. The two of them did not know what kind of dirty ideas she had. She went along with them and said, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± the brawny man immediately said. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to meet our Bosster. Our Boss is especially good to neers. You¡¯ll know when you go.¡± At this moment, the waiter brought out the turbid wine from the kitchen. He walked quickly to Dong Xi¡¯s table and ced the wine in front of Dong Xi. Chapter 348 - 348 Kind Reminder 348 Kind Reminder When the waiter put down the wine, he identally spilled some of it. The waiter quickly took the handkerchief on his shoulder and began to wipe it. The waiter said, ¡°Little Fairy, please forgive me. I didn¡¯t hold it properly. Be careful when you drink it. This turbid wine will stain your clothes if you spill it.¡± When the waiter said to be careful, his tone became a little more serious. Dong Xi nced at the waiter. Dong Xi waved her hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. You didn¡¯t spill too much. Go do your work.¡± Dong Xi knew that this was the waiter¡¯s kind reminder to Dong Xi to be careful with these men, and do not simply get involved with them. When the person opposite saw Dong Xi order the turbid wine, he said in disdain, ¡°How can you drink this cheap wine? Waiter, bring my sister some Green Bamboo Wine and put it on my tab.¡± The waiter had already said what he needed to say. The business still had to continue. If he offended the Boss for a little child, the waiter would not have a good life. The waiter immediately said, ¡°Alright, please wait a moment.¡± The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The rainwater flowed along the eaves and formed a curtain of water. At this moment, thunder sounded outside. The people who were drinking in the room put down their dice. The two people in front of Dong Xi stood up and said, ¡°Okay, Little Sister. Let¡¯s go and see Boss now.¡± Dong Xi frowned and said unwillingly, ¡°I haven¡¯t finished drinking this wine.¡± Dong Xi just wanted to hide from the rain. Now that it was raining so heavily, why would she go out and get wet? Dong Xi was not stupid! ¡°The demon beasts are besieging the city. The City Lord has ordered everyone in the city to contribute,¡± the burly man immediately said. The waiter walked over with the Green Bamboo Wine. Hearing the brawny man¡¯s words, the waiter said, ¡°Women and children can choose not to go. Immortals, why don¡¯t you let Little Fairy wait in the tavern?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Big brothers, I¡¯ll wait for you here. My cultivation is too low. If I go, you¡¯ll have to worry about protecting me.¡± Dong Xi nodded. The few burly men thought that it was true. It was not easy to fool the people in the city now. Now that one finally came, if she were to be killed by the demon beasts, the loss would be too great. ¡°Alright, you wait here. Fifth Brother, you stay here with Little Sister,¡± said the burly man. When the Fifth Brother heard this, he immediately took a step back and widened his eyes. Fifth Brother said, ¡°Why can¡¯t you stay? Once the patrol team finds out, I¡¯ll be whipped!¡± Everyone looked at each other. They had all kinds of reasons to leave. No one was willing to stay here. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Big Brothers, you don¡¯t need to apany me. It¡¯s raining so heavily. I can¡¯t leave. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± She watched as all these guys put up protective barriers and walked into the rain. After everyone left, the waiter sighed and said, ¡°As expected, neers will be targeted.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she asked curiously, ¡°Big Brother, why do you say that? Wouldn¡¯t it be better for a neer to join them than to be alone?¡± ¡°Those people didn¡¯t ask you to join them. They have other ns.¡± The waiter shook his head. ¡°What n?¡± asked Dong Xi doubtfully. The waiter shut his mouth. That word was forbidden. The owner had set up a restriction on his body. The waiter only had mixed spirit roots and his cultivation was only at the 2nd level of the Qi Refinement stage. If he said it, he would probably turn into ashes without any resistance. Dong Xi saw that the waiter was unwilling to say anything, so she circted her cultivation technique to test it out. Then, she took out a pen and paper and began to calcte. ¡°Big Brother, do you know what cultivation level the Boss of these people has?¡± Dong Xi asked after calcting. ¡°The Boss is known as the ¡®Lone Wolf¡¯,¡± said the waiter. ¡°He¡¯s a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for whether he has a stronger backer, I don¡¯t know.¡± Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that it was the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. ording to Dong Xi¡¯s current Qi Refinement Stage, she could still escape if she could not defeat a midle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for his backing, it was impossible for them to guard Lone Wolf and the others every day. Dong Xi waved his hand and took out a spirit fruit to give to the waiter. Dong Xi said, ¡°Big Brother, this is the Dazzling Fruit. I picked it on the way here. I don¡¯t have anything to give you. Take this as my gratitude.¡± This spirit fruit was picked in the Frog Space previously. A second-grade spirit fruit was nothing to her. She had plenty of them. Of course, for a waiter at the 2nd level of Qi Refinement stage, this was a rare treasure. Whether it was exchanged for spirit stones or eaten by the waiter, it was very good. It couldpletely support the waiter to the 3rd level of Qi Refinement stage. The waiter advised Dong Xi to leave quickly. Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s raining heavily outside, and I have nowhere to go. If they want to find me, no matter where I hide, these people will find me.¡± Chapter 349 - 349 Very Accurate in Judging People 349 Very urate in Judging People When the waiter heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he did not try to persuade her anymore. He had been a waiter here for 20 years and had seen thousands if not ten thousand cultivators. He was very urate in judging people. This little girl did not look very old and did not look like a disciple who hade out to gain experience. The waiter inexplicably felt that Dong Xi was not that simple. Dong Xi took a sip of the Green Bamboo Wine. The fragrance of the bamboo filled the air as it entered her mouth. At the same time, the heat also entered her muscles bit by bit. No wonder these strong men were willing to drink. This wine could strengthen one¡¯s body. When she left, she would definitely buy more and drink it after tempering her body. The effect would definitely be better. ¡°Big Brother, why is there a beast tide here?¡± asked Dong Xi. The waiter put away the spirit fruit and said, ¡°I heard that there is a big demon beast in this forest that spends most of its time sleeping. Thunder can wake the big demon beast up. When it wakes up, the big demon beast wille out to look for prey. Its appetite is even more terrifying. In order to avoid the big demon beast¡¯s pursuit, the small demons can only run here.¡± Dong Xi clicked her tongue in wonder. From the sound of it, the big demon beast should be very powerful and definitely not an ordinary big demon beast. Otherwise, the City Lord would have long brought people to kill it. Dong Xi and the waiter stood in front of the window and watched as the birds in the sky attacked the barrier. Then, they were killed by the sword cultivators who were flying on their swords. At this moment, a patrol came over to check. When they saw the two of them, one was a little girl, and the other was a trash at the 3rd level of Qi Refinement stage, the patrol left immediately. After a long time, the sky darkened and the heavy rain finally stopped. The tavern was bustling again, and the waiters were busy greeting the guests. Dong Xi sat by the window, watching the bustling crowd passing by, listening to these people bragging about how many demon beasts they had killed just now. Dong Xi felt that those burly men wereing back soon. She held her chin and wondered what these people wanted to do. After a while, this group of people walked in anxiously. Seeing that Dong Xi was still there, they heaved a sigh of relief and smiled even more brightly. The person who invited her to drink at the beginning walked forward and said affectionately, ¡°Little Sister.¡± For some reason, this guy really treated her like his sister. All the wine on the table had been drunk. In both of her lifetimes, this was Dong Xi¡¯s first time drinking wine. To be honest, the turbid wine was really not good to drink, but the Green Bamboo Wine was better. Dong Xi was a little tipsy, but her mind was still clear. As long as she circted her spiritual energy, the effects of the alcohol would dissipate, but Dong Xi liked this state very much. Dong Xi stood up with a red face and smiled at them. She said, ¡°Big Brother.¡± She was just like an inexperienced girl. The few of them came forward and surrounded the small table. ¡°I¡¯m Baki,¡± the leader said. ¡°Sister, you¡¯ve finished your wine. Are you leaving with me?¡± ¡°Brother, where are we going?¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Go to the Boss and follow me. I guarantee you¡¯ll have a good life,¡± Baki said. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement as she said, ¡°I can really eat delicious food?¡± ¡°Of course, you¡¯ll know when we get there,¡± Baki patted his chest and said. ¡°Sure!¡± Dong Xi said. Baki and the others paid the bill and brought Dong Xi out of the tavern. When the other customers saw this scene, they looked on enviously. The waiter sighed. It had just rained, and the streets were still a little wet. The wind that blew past still carried the smell of blood. Dong Xi, who was a little tipsy, immediately sobered up when the wind blew. Baki brought Dong Xi to the west. Perhaps he had never met such a sensible neer, but Baki was especially happy. He passed by the stall and bought some spirit fruits for Dong Xi. Dong Xi did not refuse. She continued to eat the spirit fruit as she followed. Soon, everyone arrived at a courtyard. Baki asked the others to wait outside while Baki went in to report. Not long after, he ran out and called everyone in. The courtyard was not big, but this was Qinan City, where every inch ofnd was worth gold. How could a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator afford to buy a house? He was probably fishing for some unorthodox business. Dong Xi immediately became vignt. She stuck two defensive talismans on her body, wore the magic tool of the turtle shell, and carried the Spatial Jade Pendant in her arms. Dong Xi only had two Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talismans left. She wanted to be thrifty with them, so she would not use them unless she had no other choice. Dong Xi followed him into the building and saw two people sitting on chairs. Dong Xi took a casual nce and found that the two of them had the same cultivation base, the middle Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. Baki stepped forward and smiled at one of them.¡±Boss, this is my new sister. She came to the city to take shelter from the rain today. She didn¡¯t have a ce to stay, so I brought her back.¡± Chapter 350 - 350 The Underestimated Genius 350 The Underestimated Genius One of them had a squarish face, bald head, and a full beard. He was wearing tiger-skin clothes and had a metal ring hanging from his ear. It looked like a magical artifact. This person said, ¡°Haha¡­ Isn¡¯t this too much of a coincidence? A bunch of bachelors, and you brought back a youngdy.¡± Dong Xi looked over and knew that this person should be Lone Wolf. As for the other person, Dong Xi did not know who he was. When Dong Xi was secretly sizing up the two of them, Baki patted Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Sister, this is the Boss!¡± Baki¡¯s strength was not small. Only Dong Xi, who was a body cultivator, could withstand it. However, Dong Xi thought about it and realized that she had to pretend to be weak here, right? Dong Xi called him ¡®Boss¡¯ before looking at Baki with a pained expression. She said, ¡°Brother Baki, it hurts.¡± ¡°We¡¯re just a bunch of boorish men,¡± Baki said with a smile. ¡°We¡¯ve always used a lot of strength¡­ I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Lone Wolf waved his hand and said, ¡°Take your Sister down to rest.¡± After everyone left, the person opposite Lone Wolf cupped his fists and said, ¡°Congrattions, Old Wolf. I was worried that I wouldn¡¯t be able toplete the mission just now. Now, I¡¯m about toplete it.¡± Lone Wolf was also happy. He said, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the strength of our brothers. Otherwise, how could we havepleted it? There are almost no Qi Refinement cultivators outside. If we didn¡¯t meet this silly girl, I¡¯m afraid we would have to think of a way to ambush the Foundation Establishment cultivators.¡± The man sighed and said, ¡°You¡¯vepleted your mission. I don¡¯t know what to do with my mission.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve been brothers for so many years. If you need help, just call me,¡± said Lone Wolf. ¡­ Dong Xi stayed in a room and knew that the people outside would monitor her actions. As long as she acted like a normal cultivator, it would be fine. Dong Xi cast a cleaning spell and began to meditate and cultivate. However, without the moonlight, her cultivation speed was terrifyingly slow. Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts drifted back to the time when she had just entered the sect and cultivated extremely slowly. Dong Xi was shocked and opened her eyes. No, this cultivation speed was very wrong. Although it was not as fast as under the moonlight, it was much faster than when Dong Xi first started cultivating. Dong Xi knew that her spirit root value was also slowly increasing. She did not know how much it had increased by now It turned out that Dong Xi was an underrated genius. Dong Xi cultivated for about two hours before lying down to sleep. The people watching outside saw that Dong Xi had been lying down for a long time. She should have really fallen asleep, so they went to look for Boss. In the following days, no matter where Dong Xi went, there would always be people following her. These people would even guide Dong Xi in her cultivation. Dong Xi did not hesitate and said, ¡°Brother Baki, are you all body cultivators?¡± ¡°Other than body cultivators, who else would have such a good body? Those sword cultivators are as thin as weak chickens. I¡¯ll kill one with a punch.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. She and other body cultivators had a lot to talk about! ¡°Brother is really amazing!¡± Dong Xi immediately praised. ¡°I won¡¯t learn about swordsmanship in the future! I¡¯d rather learn body cultivation from you. Brother, teach me how to refine my body. I promise to learn well.¡± When Baki and her brothers heard this, they immediatelyughed. Baki said, ¡°Sister, you have thin arms and legs. You want to practice body cultivation? Forget it, I see that other girls are ying with flower petals. That¡¯s pretty good.¡± Dong Xi pouted. ¡°No, I want to learn body cultivation. After I be a body cultivator, I won¡¯t be skinny anymore.¡± Baki wanted to continue refusing, but thinking about it, this girl did not have many days left to live, so he agreed. Baki said, ¡°Alright, you can learn it if you want to, but let¡¯s be blunt, body refinement is very painful. If you can¡¯t endure it, I won¡¯t care about you anymore. When the timees, don¡¯t ask me for anything else.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately nodded. ¡°I promise I can do it. Thank you, Brother. I promise I¡¯ll persevere until the end,¡± said Dong Xi. It had to be said that Dong Xi¡¯s strong gaze perfectly satisfied Baki¡¯s indescribable heart. Baki smiled. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Brother, when will I learn? There¡¯s no time like the present. Shall we start today? I also want to kill a swordsman with one punch!¡± Dong Xi narrowed her eyes like a cunning fox. ¡°You¡¯re just a little girl,¡± Baki immediately said. ¡°You just need to strengthen your body. You don¡¯t have to worry about killing someone with one punch for now.¡± Baki originally wanted to rest for two days, but who knew that this girl would not even wait for a single day? Forget it. Anyway, in less than seven days, Boss would go toplete the mission. At that time, everything would be over. Chapter 351 - 351 Leg Technique 351 Leg Technique Baki asked Dong Xi to go to the courtyard and start practicing her leg techniques. Baki said, ¡°This leg technique is very unusual. No matter if you are a mortal or a cultivator, as long as you practice martial arts, your lower body is the most important part. This leg technique can not only attack but also refine your body. When you master it, even if you can¡¯t beat him, you can still run away. No one will be able to catch up to you.¡± Dong Xi began to practice ording to Baki¡¯s instructions. After kicking 300 times, Dong Xi¡¯s legs were a little sore. In the past, Dong Xi had trained her legs by running with weights. She had never practiced this kind of leg technique before. Now, it seemed that this kind of leg technique was somewhat effective. When she practiced 500 times, Baki said, ¡°It¡¯s your first time practicing today. 500 times is enough. Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to walk tomorrow.¡± Dong Xi was not in a hurry. After returning to the sect, she would have plenty of time to cultivate. Dong Xi thought to herself, ¡®Baki is quite generous. I drank the Green Bamboo Wine as soon as I came here. This wine was not cheap, but it¡¯s good for body tempering.¡¯ After leaving the tavern, Baki brought the slightly tipsy Dong Xi to a restaurant and ordered roasted venison. However, the roasted venison was not very good. It could not bepared to the roasted venison Dong Xi had in her previous life. Fortunately, there was spiritual energy in the venison. When it entered her mouth, it had a fragrance and a chewy texture. Baki and the others kept letting Dong Xi eat. Dong Xi¡¯s bowl of meat was never empty, and she looked very enthusiastic. If she was a sentimental person, she would probably be so touched that he would cry. Dong Xi did not feel that way. He also knew that Baki and the others did not treat Dong Xi well. He did not even know Dong Xi¡¯s name. In the eyes of Baki and the others, she was probably a piglet waiting to be ughtered, ready to be killed at any moment. Dong Xi ate the venison calmly, not afraid of being poisoned. After all, there was the inner core of the Big Snake in her Dantian. What could be more poisonous than the inner core of the Big Snake? No matter how poisonous it was, it would be nutrients for the Big Snake¡¯s inner core. Seven days passed by in a sh. In these seven days, Dong Xi had already mastered the leg technique. Her Master had also sent a message to ask about her condition. Dong Xi had told him where she was and that she was learning leg techniques from others. Master Lingxu was upset and warned Dong Xi not to simply ask random people to teach her things. In the end, he told Dong Xi to be careful. If there was any trouble, she would immediately crush the jade pendant to escape Dong Xi listened to the old man¡¯s long speech and agreed with a smile. Then, she continued to practice her leg technique in the courtyard. ¡­ This morning, Dong Xi woke up as usual and raised her hand to cast a cleaning spell on herself. Opening the door, he saw Lone Wolf and everyone waiting in the courtyard. Dong Xi was not surprised. After all, these people had taken care of Dong Xi for many days. It was about time. ¡°Boss, are we going out?¡± Dong Xi pretended to be curious. Are we going to catch demon beasts?¡± A cunning look shed in Lone Wolf¡¯s eyes. He said, ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re going to catch demon beasts. Otherwise, how can we eat and drink so well?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll follow Boss¡¯s arrangements,¡± Dong Xi nodded and said. Dong Xi walked into the crowd. Someone quietly stood behind Dong Xi and blocked her way. At this moment, she was already surrounded. Dong Xi sneered in her heart. Was she afraid that she would run away? Dong Xi circted her cultivation technique. Currently, it seemed that there was no danger. She followed the crowd out. These people¡¯s cultivation levels were not very high, and they did not have flying magic tools. They could only rely on their legs to travel. Fortunately, these people were all body cultivators. Although they were very tired, no one fell behind. Of course, Dong Xi was not among these people. Dong Xi had just left the city gate when she stopped. Lone Wolf looked at Dong Xi coldly and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Dong Xi immediately put on an extremely aggrieved look. She rubbed her leg and said, ¡°Boss¡­ I can¡¯t walk anymore. You guys are too fast.¡± Lone Wolf gave Baki a look and said, ¡°Baki, you carry her.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Baki nodded. Dong Xi was lying on Baki¡¯s back. The smell of sweat rushed into Dong Xi¡¯s nose. Dong Xi would rather be carried by the Big Snake than be carried by Baki. Baki was too smelly. In the end, Dong Xi could not help but use a cleaning spell on Baki, and she instantly felt much better. Baki also noticed it. Baki smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re too pretentious.¡± ¡°Big Brother, you won¡¯t be able to find a partner if you don¡¯t bathe,¡± said Dong Xi softly. Baki was stunned. Baki said, ¡°What do you know!¡± Dong Xi did not say anything. Baki continued on his journey seriously. Dong Xi watched as everyone headed toward the depths of the forest, feeling even more puzzled. Dong Xi came from the south and knew that the level of the demon beasts in the depths of that ce was higher. Where were these people going? These first and second-tier demon beasts could not even satisfy their appetites? Chapter 352 - 352 Human Bait 352 Human Bait Everyone walked all the way to the territory of tier 4 demon beasts. If they walked any deeper, they would really be going on a suicide mission. Lone Wolf gave Baki a look, and Baki immediately took out a porcin bottle from his storage bag. Baki opened the porcin bottle, poured out the powder inside, drew a big circle around everyone, and then put the porcin bottle away. Dong Xi was an alchemist. Frowning, she immediately smelled what it was. This powder was the feces of a tier 7 demon beast, the Mountain Suppressing Ape. Demon beasts mostly relied on their excrement to divide their territory. With this, those tier 4 demon beasts would not dare toe over at all. ¡°Boss, it¡¯s done,¡± Baki said. ¡°You guys went out hunting. Do you remember the ce I marked earlier?¡± Lone Wolf nodded. ¡°Of course I remember.¡± Baki rubbed his fists and said. ¡°Then go quickly,¡± said Lone Wolf. After thinking carefully for a moment, she realized that something was wrong. The earring that Lone Wolf had been wearing was gone. Dong Xi remembered that when she went out in the morning, Lone Wolf was still wearing the earring. From the looks of it, the earring should be a magic tool. As for what type it was, Dong Xi was not sure. Seeing that Baki and the others were about to leave, Dong Xi followed suit. ¡°Stop!¡± shouted Lone Wolf. Dong Xi looked at Lone Wolf in confusion. Dong Xi said, ¡°Boss, you called me?¡± ¡°They¡¯re going hunting. What are you going to do?¡± asked Lone Wolf with a gloomy face. Dong Xi was very puzzled. Dong Xi said righteously, ¡°Of course I¡¯m going to help.¡± ¡°How are you going to help?¡± asked Lone Wolf. ¡°It¡¯s better for you to stay put. Wait here.¡± Dong Xi then looked at Baki. Baki only nced at Dong Xi for a moment before turning around, not daring to look at her. Baki¡¯s actions made Dong Xi feel that something was wrong. ¡°Hurry up and go,¡± Lone Wolf continued. ¡°I¡¯m going, Boss,¡± said Baki and the others. After saying that, everyone quickly left, leaving Dong Xi and Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Little Girl, theey¡¯re going to catch a tier 4 Blood Moon Lightning Tiger. The few of them aren¡¯t good enough to catch it. I¡¯m going to help. You stay here and don¡¯t go out, understand?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Seeing Lone Wolf leave, Dong Xi was speechless. In the eyes of these people, was Dong Xi really that stupid? They brought Dong Xi here and then drew a circle, then asked her to stay? Then why did he bring Dong Xi along? Wasn¡¯t this asking for trouble? Dong Xi knew that the excrement of a tier 7 demonic beast was quite expensive. Dong Xi sat down and began to meditate, absorbing the Qi of nts and vegetation. After about 15 minutes, Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked in the direction she came from. Sure enough, another group of people walked over. These people were dressed much better than Lone Wolf and the others. At the very least, they were dressed in Daoist robes. There should be more than 20 people in this group, surrounding a raised chair. The red roof of the sedan chair was particrly eye-catching in this forest. They stopped in front of Dong Xi. A feminine man was sitting in the pnquin. The man¡¯s temperament was different from Su Cheng. Su Cheng was scary. This man, on the other hand, was disgusting. ¡°You¡¯re the bait?¡± the man asked. The man¡¯s voice had a feminine tone to it. It sounded like fingernails scratching a ckboard, and it was especially ear-piercing. Dong Xi had goosebumps all over her body. However, that did not stop her from catching the strange word. Bait? As expected, she was right. They were using Dong Xi as cannon fodder. ¡°I¡¯m not. I¡¯m waiting for my big brother toe back,¡± said Dong Xi. The little girl¡¯s innocent voice rang out, and it was out of tune with the current atmosphere. When the feminine man heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he instantlyughed. Then, he looked at the person beside him and said, ¡°Take her away.¡± ¡°Why should I follow you?¡± Dong Xi struggled. ¡°My Big Brother is very powerful! He¡¯ll bring people to settle the score with you.¡± However, no matter what Dong Xi said, these people did not answer. ¡°Let go of me! Help!¡± Dong Xi shouted. ¡­ Baki, who was hiding not far away and watching everything, frowned. Baki had aplicated expression as he looked at Lone Wolf and said, ¡°Big brother, are we just going to let them take her?¡± Lone Wolf raised his hand and hit Baki. Lone Wolf said, ¡°What else do we do? If we don¡¯t hand her over, how can we earn spirit stones? Even if we don¡¯t want spirit stones and don¡¯t give them bait, we have to be bait ourselves. You Qi Refinement stage cultivators will all be targeted. If it wasn¡¯t for me, you would have died several times! It¡¯s best to throw away softheartedness. We cultivators don¡¯t have to have a Bodhisattva heart!¡± Baki looked at his other brothers and sighed. ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t look. Big Brother, I¡¯m going to the toilet.¡± ¡°Get lost,¡± said Lone Wolf. Chapter 353 - 353 Very Tactful 353 Very Tactful Dong Xi was taken away by these people. After walking far away, she stopped struggling. These people continued to head south. Dong Xi sighed lightly. When they came here, Baki had carried her on his back. Now, she had to walk herself. The feminine man did not tie Dong Xi up. Seeing that she was quite obedient, the feminine man smiled and said, ¡°This little girl is very tactful.¡± It was very slow to rely on just two legs. Even if it was slower, they arrived at the ce two dayster. Dong Xi saw a deep pool and immediately fell silent. Was this group of people crazy? Why would they provoke this damn thing? Dong Xi secretly read her fortune. Shaoyang. It meant that the process was bumpy, but they could still go back. However, Dong Xi thought that it was easy for problems to arise when he calcted for herself. Dong Xi looked at the feminine man in the sedan chair and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, do you need me to read your fortune?¡± The effeminate man frowned in surprise. He did not expect this girl to know how to read fortunes. ¡°That¡¯s fine too, but if it¡¯s not urate¡± said the feminine man. He stopped halfway because she felt that there was no point saying it. He wanted to say that he would take this girl¡¯s life if she did not calcte correctly, but after thinking about it, he was going to kill her anyway. Did he need to warn her? Dong Xi took out two pieces of paper and began to write and draw. When a guard saw this, he said, ¡°Is this divination? Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s drawing runes?¡± Dong Xi did not raise her head. She said, ¡°This is a mortal paper. There¡¯s no spiritual energy on it. You¡¯ll know when you sense it.¡± Seeing that the guard still had something to say, she continued, ¡°Don¡¯t talk. If you disturb me again, something will go wrong.¡± Dong Xi finished calcting very quickly. Looking at the paper that she had calcted, Dong Xi looked at the feminine man not far away and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, can you give me a word?¡± ¡°A word? Any word?¡± the feminine man asked. ¡°Then my word is ¡®human¡¯!¡± Dong Xi wrote the word ¡®human¡¯ on the paper and was stunned. He was actually not going to die? Dong Xi said, ¡°ording to my calctions, the word ¡®human¡¯ will be the word ¡®prison¡¯. When the word ¡®sun¡¯ is added to ¡®human¡¯, it also bes the word ¡®sun¡¯.¡± ¡°Speak normally,¡± the feminine man said impatiently. ¡°That is to say, you will be imprisoned today because of something,¡± said Dong Xi seriously. The feminine manughed and said disdainfully, ¡°I will be imprisoned? You¡¯re the one imprisoned now, aren¡¯t you? Since you know how to calcte, why didn¡¯t you calcte that there would be such a cmity in your life?¡± Dong Xi looked at the feminine man calmly and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already calcted my own fortune, and the result is that I¡¯m fine. So, Fellow Daoist, do you want to make a bet? ¡± The effeminate man looked at this little girl. He could stranger her to death with one hand, and she actually wanted to gamble? It was really funny. Dong Xi continued, ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, you¡¯re at the Intermediate Nascent Soul stage. A tier 7 demon beast can probably make you suffer. Yet, you brought people to this deep pool. You must have something that shields your aura on you¡± The feminine-looking man was surprised. This girl did not look very old, but she could tell his cultivation level? The feminine-looking man did not believe that Dong Xi had calcted it. The feminine-looking man said, ¡°My nickname ¡®Zhi Lang¡¯ is considered a tyrant and famous in the city. It¡¯s normal for you to find out.¡± Dong Xi looked at Zhi Lang as if she was looking at an idiot. Dong Xi said speechlessly, ¡°Have you seen the demon beast in the deep pool? You still dare toe and fight with it?¡± Zhi Lang ignored Dong Xi. He looked at the guards around him and said, ¡°Get ready. Let¡¯s do it.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir,¡± the guards immediately replied respectfully. ¡°Same as before,¡± said Zhi Lang. ¡°When the flood dragones out of the deep pool, you guys can cut its scales and take its blood. Be quick.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the guards replied. Blood extraction? Just to extract blood? Dong Xi could not understand. No matter how powerful the flood dragon was, it was still a flood dragon. Why would he go through so much trouble? At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness rang with Su Cheng¡¯s voice. Su Cheng said, ¡°There¡¯s a dragon vein on this flood dragon¡¯s body. Not long ago, it passed the Lightning Tribtion and is now officially weak.¡± When Dong Xi heard Su Cheng¡¯s voice, she felt much more at ease. She said in her sea of consciousness, ¡°Big Snake, are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Su Cheng saidzily. ¡°I haven¡¯t fully recovered yet. My body is still weak. I¡¯ll borrow your divine sense for a while.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Alright, use it however you want. Anyway, Dong Xi still could not control her spiritual awareness. ¡°Even the flood dragon in its weakened state almost killed me. I ate the Wind Speed Pill and wore the Speed Boots. I even had a Speed Talisman stuck on my body¡± Dong Xi sighed. ¡°No matter what, the flood dragon is a demon beast. Its body is strong, and its strength is even stronger,¡± said Su Cheng. ¡°Can a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator defeat it?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°If he can defeat it,¡± said Su Cheng, ¡°he wouldn¡¯t just be taking its blood. You have to believe in the greed of humans.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 354 - 354 What Race? 354 What Race? Although Dong Xi was also a human, she felt that Su Cheng was right. ¡°Oh right, is the blood of this flood dragon useful to you?¡± asked Dong Xi. If it was useful When Dong Xi became stronger, she could consider helping Su Cheng. ¡°I don¡¯t need such an inferior and mixed bloodline,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi could hear some pride in Su Cheng¡¯s tone. She was also a little curious. What kind of race was Su Cheng? Why did it look down on someone with a dragon vein? Zhi Lang did not give Dong Xi too much time to think. Dong Xi was tied to the cliff. The deep green pool and the steep stone wall. The escape from before was still vivid in his mind, but now, it was about to happen again¡­ Zhi Lang stood at the side and looked at the surrounding guards who were about to set up the array. Zhi Lang picked up a stone and smiled. ¡°Little girl, are you ready?¡± The stone was not big, but it was wrapped in spiritual energy, causing arge ssh. Dong Xi watched as the deep pool calmed down. Then, circles of ripples appeared. The ripple in the deep pool grew bigger and bigger, like boiling water, constantly rolling. Finally, a head surfaced. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened. This time, she saw it clearly. It was something with a dragon¡¯s beard and looked like a snake! Dong Xi took out the jade pendant that she had hidden. A stream of spiritual energy was injected into it. The jade pendant emitted a violent energy fluctuation. The rope that was tied up was also broken by this energy. A pale golden palm attacked the deep pool. The big head immediately shrank back. The moment Dong Xinded on the ground, she immediately used her Earth Evasion to sink into the ground. Zhi Lang subconsciously grabbed Dong Xi¡¯s leg, wanting to lift her up, but was dragged into the ground by Dong Xi. Dong Xi propped up a protective shield and shuttled through the giant rocks. She did not forget to kick Zhi Lang, who was grabbing her ankle. The cliff behind her copsed once again, and the earth trembled. Zhe Liang that was grabbing Dong Xi¡¯s foot refused to let go. ¡°Damn it, why is this flood dragon recovering so quickly?¡± Zhi Lang cursed. Dong Xi cursed Zhi Lang in her heart How could hepare a human¡¯s recovery speed to a demon beast¡¯s? If Zhi Lang was thinking like this, he had already lost. At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s Earth Evasion had already been used to the extreme. He was carrying a person and affecting his speed. Fortunately, Zhi Lang was not stupid enough to attack Dong Xi now. As Dong Xi ran, she ate the Spirit Restore Pill. Zhi Lang was shocked when it saw this scene. It thought that it had caught someone as bait, but it turned out to be a person who pretended to be a weak? Where did this girle from? How could he have so many good things on him? She consumed pills like they cost nothing! Dong Xi ran for an hour until he was thrown out of the rocky area. When she was surrounded by loose soil, Dong Xi stopped. He used Earth spiritual Qi to push away the surrounding soil, forming a square space. Dong Xi sat down and ate a top-grade Spirit Restore Pill. Then, she looked at Zhi Lang. ¡°I thought you had some ability. I didn¡¯t expect you to be an empty shell. Tell me, how many pills did you take to raise your cultivation to this level?¡± Dong Xi said. Zhi Lang red at Dong Xi and said,¡± Even if I took pills to improve myself, I¡¯m still stronger than you. Do you believe that I¡¯ll kill you right now?¡± Dong Xi smiled contemptuously as she held a jade pendant. Dong Xi looked at Zhi Lang and said, ¡°You can try and see who will die first, you or me?¡± Zhi Lang did not dare to gamble. Dong Xi¡¯s attack was a Soul Formation stage attack. Wolf said, ¡°Who exactly are you? You¡¯re definitely not an itinerant cultivator!¡± Dong Xi looked at Zhi Lang innocently and said, ¡°When did I say I was an itinerant cultivator?¡± He looked like he had been deceived. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Who exactly are you? What are you doing here?¡± Dong Xi said with a serious face, ¡°Listen well. I¡¯m Dong Li of the Beast Trainer Sect!¡± Zhi Lang was stunned when he heard this. He said, ¡°Beast Trainer Sect?¡± Zhi Lang had heard of the Beast Trainer Sect. It was one of the eight great sects, but he had never heard of her name. However, at such a young age, she already had so many good things on her. She must be the personal disciple of some Elder? Dong Xi stood up and looked at Zhi Lang who was deep in thought. She said, ¡°Do you still remember the fortune I read for you at the beginning?¡± Zhi Lang was stunned. Dong Xi said, ¡°You can stay here.¡± Finished talking, Dong Xi formed a seal and burrowed into the ground. Zhi Lang angrily threw a spell in the direction where Dong Xi had disappeared. The protective barrier on Dong Xi¡¯s body was instantly shattered, and dozens of defensive talismans on her body were also shattered. Even so, Dong Xi still spat out a mouthful of blood. Chapter 355 - 355 Fake 355 Fake Dong Xi could not help but sigh. The original level was indeed different. Even if this guy was a fake, it was not something Dong Xi could withstand. Fortunately, she had burrowed very deep into the ground just now. This imposter did not have an earth spirit root yet. For a while, this fellow would not be able toe out. Dong Xi crawled out of the ground. In front of her was a pile of unknown grass, and there was a shadow above her head. Dong Xi raised her head and saw a smooth butt. Seeing that his butt was about toe close, Dong Xi immediately drilled back into the soil. The demon beast with a smooth butt was also shocked and quickly ran away. Dong Xi waited for a moment beforeing out to take a look. Realizing that there was nothing wrong, Dong Xi took a few breaths of fresh air and immediately climbed out. Then, she cast a cleaning spell. If Dong Xi was not mistaken, that demon beast with a smooth butt was a Hairless Silver Boar. It was powerful in battle, but it was especially timid. It would be very difficult for Zhi Lang toe out. He did not have an earth spirit root, so he could only dig bit by bit. If he dug too fast, the soil would copse easily. Dong Xi could not defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator opponent yet, so she could trap Zhi Lang for a while. When he came out, Dong Xi would have already returned to the sect. Dong Xi took out a long sword and made a wooden sign here. She marked it so that she could remember that Zhi Lang was trapped below. After everything was done, Dong Xi felt the fluctuations of themunication jade slip. He took out the jade slip and saw that it was a message from Senior Brother Shu Fa. [Junior Sister Dong Xi, Master said that you¡¯re currently in Qinan City? There¡¯s a mission from the sect that just happens to be there. Do you want to take it?] Dong Xi thought about it and knew that if it was an ordinary mission, Senior Brother Shu Fa would not specially find him. Dong Xi replied. [I¡¯m not taking it. Senior Brother, ask the others.] Shu Fa saw Dong Xi¡¯s reply and thought for a moment before sending another message. [Mission reward is 3,000 points and one Sword Array Trial.] Dong Xi immediately replied when she saw the generous reward. [I¡¯m already here. It¡¯s not good to trouble others, right? Senior Brother, tell me?] Shu Fa quickly sent a message to Dong Xi. [The youngest daughter of the City Lord of Zhaofeng City went missing. I heard that thest time she appeared was in Qinan City. The Sect Master said that you happened to be there, so it¡¯s appropriate to give this mission to you.] Dong Xi instantly understood that this had been rigged. Of course, Dong Xi was also the one who benefited. Dong Xi also understood that the daughter of the Zhaofeng City Lord was not easy to find and even gave the mission to the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi did not agree immediately. She said in her sea of consciousness, ¡°Big Snake? Do you want to ept this mission?¡± ¡°Why are you asking me about your mission?¡± asked Su Cheng. ¡°I dare to ept it just because you said so. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to do it if I¡¯m alone¡± Dong Xi replied honestly. ¡°You¡¯re already dressed like this. How can you be afraid?¡± Su Cheng smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll give you 100 batches of Exorcism Pills. Are you going or not?¡± Dong Xi gritted her teeth and said. ¡°200!¡± Su Cheng immediately said. Dong Xi did not hesitate at all. She took out hismunication jade slip and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll refuse the mission.¡± ¡°Forget it, 150 batches will do,¡± said Su Cheng helplessly. ¡°You have so many spirit stones. If you send someone to the Rainbow Store¡± Dong Xi pondered in puzzlement. Speaking of the Rainbow Store, Dong Xi thought of something and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. How could I forget? Where did Second Senior Brother put the token?¡± Dong Xi took out the little turtle and was about to rush back to the sect when she suddenly felt a tremor not far away. Dong Xi raised her head and saw arge group of pigs following behind the pig with a smooth butt. Dong Xi was speechless. Was it necessary? Wasn¡¯t it just a nce at its butt? Did it have to call so many pigs over? She cursed in her heart, but her hands were quick. She injected spiritual energy into the little turtle, and the little turtle instantly grew to the size of a praying mat. Dong Xi immediately jumped on it and fled south of the forest, leaving a faint purple light in the air. This time, Dong Xi finally understood the use of the earring on Lone Wolf¡¯s ear. Lone Wolf had used this magical treasure to trap a tier 4 Blood Moon Lightning Tiger inside. The rest of the people outside would sneak an attack on the Blood Moon Lightning Tiger from time to time. The trapped tiger could only circle around inside no matter how hard it tried. ¡°So that¡¯s how it¡¯s used¡± Dong Xi muttered softly. Dong Xi could not help but think that she did not see it in Lone Wolf¡¯s ears before. At that time, did Lone Wolf use his magic tool on Dong Xi to trap her? It turned out that Lone Wolf was not afraid of Dong Xi running away because he felt that Dong Xi would not be able to escape at all. Dong Xi was very angry. She suddenly had an idea, and a wicked smile appeared on her face. Chapter 356 - 356 Life Is Like a Play 356 Life Is Like a y Thank you readers! Dong Xi sorted out her emotions and shouted, ¡°Boss, Brother Baki!¡± The girl¡¯s voice was like ark¡¯s, exploding in the forest. Lone Wolf was shocked and looked back. Baki was the first to speak. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lone Wolf looked at Dong Xi, who was sitting on the flying magic tool. Lone Wolf was slightly stunned and said in shock, ¡°Sister, where did you go? When we went back, we found that he was nowhere to be seen. You scared us to death.¡± If the viciousness in Lone Wolf¡¯s eyes was not so obvious, Dong Xi might have believed it. Dong Xi sneered in her heart. Life was like a y, it all depended on acting skills. Dong Xi said with a face full of lingering fear, ¡°Boss, just as you left, a demon beast came over and scared me. Fortunately, Senior Zhi Lang saved me.¡± When Lone Wolf heard the name Zhi Lang, he became nervous. Lone Wolf said, ¡°Senior Zhi Lang? Where is he? Why are you alone?¡± Dong Xi said with a sorrowful expression, ¡°The flood dragon is too strong. We couldn¡¯t defeat it at all. We were almost wiped out. Fortunately, Senior Zhi Lang held the flood dragon back. He let me ride his flying magical treasure back to find reinforcements.¡± As she spoke, she looked at Lone Wolf and the others. A smile appeared on his face as if he had just survived a disaster. Lone Wolf said, ¡°I¡¯m so lucky to bump into you, Boss. I don¡¯t even know where to go to get help. Big Brother, let¡¯s hurry. If we¡¯re anyter¡­ I¡¯m afraid Senior Zhi Lang won¡¯t be able to hold on. ¡± When Lone Wolf heard what Dong Xi said, he was very suspicious. ording to Lone Wolf¡¯s understanding of Zhi Lang over the years, how could Zhi Lang sacrifice his life for justice? One person stayed behind to hold back the flood dragon, and the ask the others to leave? Zhi Lang should have wanted everyone to be his scapegoat. However, Lone Wolf did not suspect Dong Xi. After all, this girl looked harmless. She was still so young and her cultivation was also low. If this girl had not seen Zhi Lang before, she would not have said such nonsense. There might be some misunderstanding here? However, it should be true that Zhi Lang was in danger. Lone Wolf thought for a moment and realized that this was an opportunity to befriend the forces behind Zhi Lang. Lone Wolf shouted, ¡°Brothers, work hard. Let¡¯s hurry up and kill the Blood Moon Lightning Tiger. We¡¯ll return to the city.¡± With that, Lone Wolf rushed forward, each move more vicious than thest. Dong Xi was helping from the side. From time to time, she would throw out a small fireball. It looked like it was only the size of a fingernail and did not have much power. In the end, the Blood Moon Lightning Tiger let out a roar and died. It dropped its inner core and fur. Lone Wolf put away the Bloody Moon Lightning Tiger¡¯s corpse and looked at everyone. Lone Wolf said,¡± Today, I know how much effort everyone has put in. I¡¯ll give it to you after I sell this Bloody Moon Lightning Tiger. ¡± ¡°Thank you, Boss,¡± Baki and the others immediately said. Lone Wolf waved his hand, and the earring returned to his hand. Lone Wolf put it back on and walked back with the others. Dong Xi sat on the little turtle and said, ¡°Boss, only one person can sit on this flying magical treasure. I can sit on it myself. I don¡¯t need Brother Baki to carry me.¡± After Dong Xi said that, she smiled as if she was thinking about these people. Lone Wolf looked unhappy, but he did not snatch the flying magic tool. He said, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go back quickly.¡± Outside the city, Dong Xi got off the magic tool and put away the flying magic tool that everyone coveted. She said that she would return it to its original owner after she rescued Senior Zhi Lang. Dong Xi obediently followed beside Baki. She had no intention of taking paying at all. Lone Wolf did not care about this small amount of money. Lone Wolf paid off all of their entrance fees. After entering the city, Lone Wolf headed straight for the West District. Dong Xi saw that Lone Wolf was so familiar with this ce and knew that he had walked this way a lot. Dong Xi deliberately said, ¡°Boss, this isn¡¯t the way back, is it? Where are we going?¡± Lone Wolf ignored Dong Xi, but Bakiughed loudly. Baki said, ¡°Hahaha¡­ Sister, Boss always says I¡¯m stupid, but you¡¯re even more stupid than me. ¡± Dong Xi looked at Baki in confusion. She said, ¡°Brother Baki, where do you think Boss is taking us?¡± ¡°Is there a need to ask?¡± Baki said confidently. He must be going to the ce where the Bloody Moon Lightning Tiger is sold.¡± Lone Wolf, ¡°¡­¡± Why were all of them so stupid? Lone Wolf could not understand. ¡°Shut up,¡± said Lone Wolf. ¡°When we get there, you guys stay outside. I¡¯ll bring Sister in.¡± ¡°Boss, where are we going?¡± Baki asked in confusion. ¡°Why is it that Sister can enter?¡± Chapter 357 - 357 The Zhao Family 357 The Zhao Family Lone Wolf looked at everyone impatiently and said, ¡°Zhao Family.¡± Thank you readers! Baki immediately became much more obedient and did not dare to say anything else. The West District was where the rich lived. There were not many families here, and every family had at least a Soul Formation stage ancestor. It was also because of the strength of these rich families in Qinan City. For so many years, the demon beasts in the forest could be blocked all because of these rich families. Dong Xi looked at the magnificent building in front of her and the two simple words on the que. !! ¡®Zhao Manor¡¯ ¡°Sister, be careful when you speak to Lady Caiter. Lady Zhao doesn¡¯t have a good personality,¡± said Lone Wolf. Zhao Shurou? Dong Xi felt that she had heard this name before. Dong Xi¡¯s memory had always been very good. Once again, she recalled the contents of the book before she transmigrated. There were hundreds of characters in the book. Dong Xi really could not remember such a small number of characters, but he remembered Zhao Shurou. ording to the book, Zhao Shurou¡¯s cultivation was high and she had hundreds of guards. Later on, she took a fancy to Dong Tianya, who had gone out to look for opportunities. She wanted to force Dong Tianya to submit. At this time, Dong Rourou was already at the Golden Core stage. She still had the halo of the female lead, and she had spent a lot of effort to save Dong Tianya. Moreover, Dong Rourou had also injured her blood essence. For the sake of her future cultivation, she had taken the Deep Sea Extreme Ice Blood Lotus¡­ Thinking of this, Dong Xi¡¯s heart thumped. Dong Rourou¡¯s blood essence was injured, and Zhi Lang wanted human bait just to get the flood dragon¡¯s blood. Was it rted to Zhao Shurou¡¯s cultivation technique? As for the missing Miss Zhang, it couldn¡¯t be rted to these things, right? Since they were here, Dong Xi would definitely go in with Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf stood in front of the guard and said a few words to him with a smile. The guard didn¡¯t care about this at all. He said with a cold expression, ¡°Wait here.¡± A guard walked in while Dong Xi and the others waited outside. After a while, the guard who went in came back. The guard looked at everyone and said, ¡°Who is the messenger? The Lady only wants to see the messenger.¡± Lone Wolf immediately pushed Dong Xi out. He used a lot of strength, causing Dong Xi, who was unprepared, to almost fall. ¡°It¡¯s this girl who brought back the information,¡± Lone Wolf said with a ttering expression. Lone Wolf¡¯s performance of praising the high and trampling on the low was extremely thorough. The guard proudly pointed at Dong Xi and said, ¡°You, follow me.¡± Dong Xi obediently followed the guard and entered. After entering the door, Dong Xi felt that her entire body was being seen clearly. This feeling of not having any privacy was really unpleasant. However, as soon as he felt this, a powerful divine sense wrapped around Dong Xi. Dong Xi revealed a smile. This was the Big Snake¡¯s move. Dong Xi lowered her head and followed behind the guards. They walked for a long time in the huge garden. In the middle, three people led the way. They guessed that they had arrived in front of a house. The maid who led the way told Dong Xi to wait while the maid went in to report. Not long after, the door opened and a charming female voice said, ¡°Come in.¡± Dong Xi immediately walked forward. She did not dare to look around the room, but only stole a nce at the person who spoke. This made Dong Xi very puzzled. The cultivation world was filled with handsome men and beautiful women. Dong Xi was about to get tired of aesthetic appreciation. However, this woman had an ordinary appearance. It was really strange. The woman seemed to bezy and did not take the matter of the wolf to heart at all. The woman said, ¡°Are you here to help the wolf deliver the message?¡± Dong Xi nodded and stood there obediently. She had never been so serious in school since she was young. ¡°How dare you?¡± The maid beside the woman rebuked angrily. ¡°You¡¯re cultured. Why aren¡¯t you answering?¡± Dong Xi lowered her head and answered honestly, ¡°Yes, Madam. Zhi Lang has been trapped by a flood dragon. He asked me toe back and help him find help.¡± ¡°Flood dragon?¡± Zhao Shurou smiled. Why did he go again? This little thing has quite a conscience. I didn¡¯t dote on him for nothing.¡± Dong Xi also figured it out. As expected, the wolf went for Zhao Shurou. This was how the cultivation world was. The strong were respected. Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, as long as they were strong enough, there would be people who would rely on them. ¡°Madam, please think of a way to save Senior Zhi Lang,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°That flood dragon is too powerful.¡± Of course, it was powerful. When Zhi Lang saw it, the first thing he did was run away. However, her divination calctions showed that he was safe, so Dong Xi wanted to see what was in the deep pool. It did not disappoint Dong Xi. The flood dragon was snow-white, had a snake face and a dragon¡¯s beard, and had a dragon horn on its head. Dong Xi had seen it in the ¡®Encyclopedia of Demon Beasts in the Cultivation World¡¯. This was the Deep Sea Flood Dragon that Dong Xi had been thinking about for a long time. The Deep Sea Flood Dragon was known for its speed, and itsbat strength was very strong. Dong Xi was able to escape twice probably because the Deep Sea Flood Dragon had just passed the Lightning Tribtion, and was weak at the moment. Otherwise, how could she have escaped? Chapter 358 - 358 I’m Afraid He’s Already Dead 358 I¡¯m Afraid He¡¯s Already Dead The Deep Sea Flood Dragon had passed the Lightning Tribtion and reached tier-7, which was equivalent to a human Soul Formation stage cultivator. Thank you readers! Zhi Lang was naturally no match for the Deep Sea Flood Dragon. Previously, he had relied on the array formation and the flood dragon¡¯s recent Lightning Tribtion to obtain the blood, but it was not always that easy. This time, Zhi Lang was lucky to have bumped into Dong Xi. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. Dong Xi was not afraid of being exposed. With her bead ne, she could change her appearance, and the jade pendant given by her Master, coupled with Earth Shrinking, it would definitely not be a problem for her to escape. She was not afraid of being discovered. She could just change her clothes and appearance. Zhao Shurou looked at Dong Xi¡¯s anxious expression and was a little surprised. Zhao Shurou said, ¡°Girl, why are you in such a hurry?¡± ¡°?¡± As a good actress, shouldn¡¯t Dong Xi be very anxious now? That worthless Zhi Lang had no chance of surviving a Soul Formation stage Deep Sea Flood Dragon, alright? ¡°Madam, Senior Zhi Lang only went to get the blood for you¡­¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°I wasn¡¯t the one who asked him to go,¡± Zhao Shurou said as she blew a puff of white smoke. ¡°?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. She did not expect Zhao Shurou to be a scumbag? Zhao Shurou said again, ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to worry. I forcefully raised Zhi Lang¡¯s cultivation using pills. He could have lived for thousands of years and apanied me to live happily here. However, he had to be jealous and use its high cultivation to cut Wuma¡¯s face¡­ I don¡¯t know where he heard that the blood of Deep Sea Flood Dragon is beneficial to me, so he secretly brought people there.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s big mouth was too quick. She did not expect that this Zhi Lang was also blinded by loove¡­ Zhao Shurou continued, ¡°Based on Zhi Lang¡¯s cultivation, he¡¯s probably already dead. Even if I go, I can¡¯t do anything. The Deep Sea Flood Dragon has already reached tier-7¡­¡± Dong Xi wanted to say something, but in the end, she shut her mouth. ¡°Alright, you can leave now. Pretend you don¡¯t know anything about this,¡± said Zhao Shurou. Dong Xi nodded and walked out obediently. Dong Xi originally wanted Zhao Shurou to go over and take a look. If she could find out Zhi Lang¡¯s situation, Dong Xi could no longer use her current identity. But now, it seemed that Madam Zhao Shurou was heartless and Zhi Lang might have to stay underground for a few more days. That¡¯s good. When Zhi Langes back alive, he will give up on Zhao Shurou, right? Dong Xi was looking forward to seeing the two of them break up. Zhi Lang had run away from home and was being sought revenge. Zhi Lang had captured so many people as bait, so he should pay the price. When she was about to leave, Dong Xi saw a man hanging in the courtyard. His upper body was naked and covered in blood. The man seemed to have noticed Dong Xi¡¯s gaze. He opened his eyes and nced at Dong Xi. Dong Xi also saw this person¡¯s face clearly. There was a scar on his face, and it was a shocking sight. As soon as she met this person¡¯s gaze, Dong Xi immediately lowered her head and obediently followed the maid outside. ¡­ When they walked out of the door, they saw Lone Zhi Lang and the others. When everyone saw Dong Xi, their eyes lit up and they immediately rushed over. Everyone was talking at once. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re finally out.¡± ¡°You saw Madam Zhao Shurou?¡± ¡°What did Madam say?¡± ¡­ Dong Xi saw the few guards ring at them like tigers eyeing their prey. She immediately said, ¡°Boss, Brothers, let¡¯s go back and talk.¡± ¡°Fifth Brother, take your sister back. We¡¯ll go and sell the Blood Moon Lightning Tiger,¡± said Lone Zhi Lang. The Fifth Brother did not want to go back. Lone Wolf red at him and said, ¡°Hurry up. If you dawdle any longer, you won¡¯t get a share.¡± Dong Xi wanted to say that she could go back on her own, but Lone Wolf would not agree. Dong Xi could only bring Old Fifth to their resting ce. Of course, Dong Xi did not want to go back with them. After all, there was still a sect mission to bepleted! Just as Dong Xi was thinking about how to shake off Old Fifth, she suddenly heard a voice behind her. Dong Xi smiled. Good timing! Originally, Madam Zhao Shurou had let Dong Xi leave so easily, and Dong Xi was already very surprised. From the looks of it now, they should have sent someone over to silence her. ¡°Fifth Brother, someone is following us,¡± said Dong Xi softly. Just as Old Fifth was about to turn around, Dong Xi immediately pulled Old Fifth back. Dong Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯t look behind us. Let¡¯s split up and gather at the door.¡± ¡°No, Boss told me to follow you all the time,¡± said Old Fifth. ¡°We have to lure these people away. If they find out where our house is, it won¡¯t even be safe for us to stay in the future,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi persuaded for a long time. At the next intersection, the two of them separated. Chapter 359 - 359 Disappeared 359 Disappeared The person behind him did not hesitate and followed Dong Xi. Thank you readers! Dong Xi, who was followed by the killer, obviously did not walk like a normal person, but he pulled arge distance away with one step. The assassin split open and increased his speed, but after turning, he still lost track of her. The killer stood at the intersection in a daze and looked around. He did not see Dong Xi¡¯s thin figure at all. He grabbed a random person and asked if he had seen a little girl. Everyone shook their heads. The killer frowned. How was he going to report back? Could it be that he had suddenly disappeared? After the killer left, Dong Xi, who was disguised as a man, stood up from behind a stall. Even a messenger needed to be killed? It was indeed impossible to be a good person in the cultivation world. Dong Xi shook her head and sighed. Just as she was about to turn around, the stall owner in front of Dong Xi suddenly took out a knife and shed at the stone block. ¡°What? You don¡¯t want to buy my things after looking at it? You want to leave just like that?¡± asked the stall owner. Dong Xi was shocked and quickly looked up. The stall owner had a fierce expression. Dong Xi looked at the scrap metal on the stall and fell into deep thought. Was this a forced sale? The stall owner probably thought that Dong Xi was a little girl and was easier to bully. Dong Xi calmly sized up the stall owner and then looked at the knife on the stone block. Dong Xi said, ¡°How many spirit stones does this saber cost?¡± The stall owner did not expect Dong Xi to ask such a question and was instantly stunned. The stall owner said, ¡°You want my saber? You really have guts.¡± The stall owner casually took out a metal knife from his stall and threw it to Dong Xi. The stall owner said, ¡°You buy this one.¡± Dong Xi took a look at it. It was just a de made of ordinary iron. Even if she gave it away, she would be despised. He came here to set up a stall and even forced people to buy and sell. Wasn¡¯t this just in robbery? Was he afraid of the rules of Qinan City? Dong Xi took the saber and smiled. Dong Xi looked at the stall owner and said, ¡°I can buy it, but you have to answer the question.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± the stall owner asked subconsciously. ¡°Have you heard of Qiao Xiaoyan?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Qiao Xiaoyan?¡± The stall owner said impatiently. ¡°Who is he? Is he very famous?¡± ¡°You should know how to get to the Rainbow Store, right?¡± Dong Xi sighed. ¡°That¡¯s a second question,¡± said the stall owner. Dong Xi took out two low-grade spirit stones and threw them to the stall owner. Dong Xi said, ¡°Can you tell me now?¡± The stall owner caught the spirit stone and sneered, ¡°Just two? Do you think I¡¯m a beggar?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want it, then forget it. Give it back to me. I¡¯ll ask someone else.¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± said the stall owner. ¡°There¡¯s no kind-hearted person in the entire city.¡± Dong Xi held the Mortal Iron Sword, turned around, and said, ¡°It¡¯s such a big city. If I walk a little further, there will always be kind-hearted people.¡± ¡°You little girl,¡± said the stall owner. ¡°You¡¯re so stingy. Go to the East District and take a look.¡± ¡°Thanks, you¡¯re the kind-hearted person in this city,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°Get lost quickly,¡± the stall owner waved his hand. ¡­ Dong Xi followed the stall owner¡¯s instructions and arrived at the East District. Soon, she found the Rainbow Store. It was worth mentioning that Qinan City was so big, but the scale of the Rainbow Store was very small. Dong Xi looked at the shop that was the size of a small shop in the vige and fell into deep thought. This shop did not seem like Second Brother¡¯s style, right? Qinan City was one of the five main cities of the East Continent. Such arge city should be the main ce to umte wealth. How could they let go of such a fat piece of meat? Dong Xi walked in curiously. The shop was indeed not big. There were only two shelves. The two attendants in the shop leaned against the shelves and were a little sleepy. Dong Xi knocked on the counter. One of the attendants woke up and looked at the young man in front of him. The attendant said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, what do you need?¡± Dong Xi did not say anything and directly took out the token. The waiter was shocked when he saw the token. He hurriedly stood up and said, ¡°B-Boss.¡± They did not know what the Boss looked like. Those people said that every time the Boss came, he would look different. The workers only needed to remember the token. Dong Xi nodded. She was a substitute, but she was still the Boss. ¡°Why is this ce so small?¡± asked Dong Xi in puzzlement. Another attendant woke up and made an inviting gesture. He said, ¡°Please follow me.¡± Dong Xi followed the attendant and passed through the wall. Only then did she realize that the wall was just a smokescreen. After passing through the array, there was another world behind it. The room was five stories high. A graceful woman walked forward and handed the mask to Dong Xi. The woman said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, please.¡± Dong Xi took the mask and heard the attendant and the woman talking. The woman became even more respectful. The woman looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Boss, pleasee upstairs.¡± Dong Xi followed the woman through the crowd. In the air, a Fairy was holding a pipa and ying it. It sounded so good, one would just melt. Chapter 360 - 360 No Need 360 No Need Thank you readers! When they reached the top floor, a maid came forward to help Dong Xi take off her coat. Dong Xi immediately stopped her. Although it was a little tattered, it would be usefulter. ¡°No need,¡± said Dong Xi. The masked woman waved her hand, and the maid left. The woman took off her mask, revealing a face that could topple a country. ¡°My name is Xiao Han,¡± the woman said with a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that the Boss wasing, so I didn¡¯t prepare in advance.¡± Dong Xi directly interrupted the polite conversation. Dong Xi reached the second floor and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Do you have any leads on Qiao Xiaoyan?¡± ¡°Qiao Xiaoyan?¡± Xiao Han was stunned. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Han shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of him, but don¡¯t worry, Boss. I¡¯ll send someone to look for him now.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Dong Xi nodded. Dong Xi sent Xiao Han away and did not allow the maid to follow. She wandered around the Rainbow Store alone. From afar, she saw a group of people gathered together, watching a cultivator take something from afar. Dong Xi stood at the edge and saw that everyone was nervous for the cultivator. There was a small hole on the side of a crystal cover. By controlling the spiritual energy, one could take out the item inside and take it for themselves. If he took it out, it would really be too profitable. However, it was not that easy. There was a tenfold gravity array inside the crystal cover. Moreover, the magic tools themselves were not small. If he wanted to take them out, he had to find a good angle and control them well. The surrounding crowd started to talk. ¡°Old Wang, it should work this time, right? Look, the crystal is already at the entrance of the cave.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen five people. This guy is the closest to sess.¡± ¡°That drum seems to be a high-grade artifact. If he takes it out, he¡¯ll make a big profit.¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be that easy. Look at this person. He¡¯s obviously at the end of his rope. It¡¯s too difficult to take this out.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi looked at it and felt that if this person did not adjust the angle, it would be impossible for him to take it out. Second Senior Brother was smart. It was hard not to earn money like this. Countless people wanted to take the bait. At this moment, Dong Xi heard the others talking. ¡°Wuma is so amazing. I¡¯ve only seen Wuma take it out before.¡± ¡°What¡¯s so amazing about Wuma? It¡¯s just a top-grade spirit weapon.¡± ¡°A top-grade spirit weapon is also a huge profit. See how many spirit stones a top-grade spirit weapon can be exchanged for.¡± ¡­ Wuma? Dong Xi fell into deep thought again. She seemed to have heard this name before? It seemed that the one who Zhi Lang was jealous of was named Wuma? Zhao Shurou¡¯s new favorite? Dong Xi clicked her tongue. It seemed that this Wuma was more talented than Zhi Lang! Dong Xi stepped forward and tried to get close to the person who had just spoken. Dong Xi said, ¡°I think that Wuma is a smart person. It¡¯s definitely not easy to get a top-grade artifact. It¡¯s better to get a top-grade spirit weapon. Profit is profit!¡± When everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they were shocked. They reacted and gave Dong Xi a thumbs up. One of them said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re smart.¡± Dong Xi waved her hand and said, ¡°I don¡¯t deserve it. I¡¯m just a little smart. Fellow Daoists, what¡¯s Wuma¡¯s cultivation base?¡± ¡°He seems to be in the early stage of the Golden Core stage, but his control is very strong,¡± said one of them. The rest of the people followed suit. ¡°The woman who came with Wuma has a low cultivation level. She has just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.¡± ¡°Hehe, in my opinion, Mama took that jade hairpin not to exchange for spirit stones, but to make that woman happy.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Although that woman is wearing a mask, it can be seen that she is definitely beautiful. If we can have a night together, let alone a jade hairpin Hahaha¡± ¡­ The topic of their conversation slowly changed. Dong Xi smiled awkwardly and turned to leave. At this moment, Dong Xi had not realized anything. Xiao Han found Dong Xi and said that she had news of Qiao Xiaoyan. Dong Xi immediately perked up. Dong Xi could not help but praise him in her heart. Second Senior Brother¡¯s people were indeed powerful and efficient! ¡°Boss, Qiao Xiaoyan is the daughter of the Zhaofeng City Lord. Three months ago, someone saw her bring some people to Qinan City. After that, no one has seen Qiao Xiaoyan again.¡± ¡°Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s subordinates have all disappeared?¡± Dong Xi frowned and asked. ¡°Who were they? Is there any trace that can be investigated?¡± Xiao Han shook her head and said, ¡°No. Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s subordinate, Wuma, took a top-grade treasured jade hairpin from us with Qiao Xiaoyan three months ago. The two of them should have disappeared together. ording to the rules here, if there¡¯s no news for more than three months, they either left this ce or¡­¡± The spirit fruit in Dong Xi¡¯s hand instantly fell to the ground. Dong Xi could not help but say, ¡°This is quite a coincidence.¡± Chapter 361 - 361 You Tricked Me 361 You Tricked Me Who would have thought that after disappearing for three months, Dong Xi would actually run into him? Thank you readers! ¡°Alright, you can leave first,¡± Dong Xi waved her hand and said. ¡°Yes,¡± said Xiao Han. Seeing Xiao Han leave, Dong Xi angrily took out amunication jade slip and sent a message to Senior Brother Shu Fa. [Senior Brother, are you there?] Shu Fa replied after a moment. [Junior Sister, what¡¯s the matter? Did you find Qiao Xiaoyan?] Dong Xi wrote two words and stopped. She could not help but send a voice message. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, you tricked me, didn¡¯t you? Qiao Xiaoyan had Wuma by her side. How could something happen? Wuma is an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, and your Junior Sister is just a Qi Refinement trash. You want me to ept a mission? Hmph, I want toin to Master!¡± Shu Fa might be afraid that Dong Xi would reallyin, so he immediately replied to the voice message. Shu Fa said, ¡°What is it? Qiao Xiaoyan had a Golden Core expert following her? Zhaofeng City Lord didn¡¯t tell me this. It¡¯s my negligence, I apologize to you.¡± Dong Xi heard the voice message and said coldly, ¡°If an apology works, why do I need Master?¡± Shu Fa, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi continued to send a voice message. ¡°This mission can be given to whoever you want. I¡¯m not doing it anyway.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, half of the reward will be deducted if you fail the mission. Have you thought about it?¡± Shu Fa said. Dong Xi was speechless. Right now, Dong Xi only had a few hundred points. If they deducted the reward, she would still owe the sect a lot of points. In the past six months, Dong Xi had been outside and had not refined many pills. She did not have any stock at all. Shu Fa sent a voice message again. ¡°Junior Sister, this is Senior Brother¡¯s dereliction of duty. Wait in Qinan City. Senior Brother will go over to help you now.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± ¡°Senior Brother, do you want to get a share of the reward too?¡± Dong Xi sent a voice message. In order to increase credibility, Shu Fa sent a voice message saying, ¡°No, Senior Brother is not that¡­ Poor.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Was it appropriate to use poverty on Dong Xi? Just the token given by Second Senior Brother alone could be used for 1,000 top-grade spirit stones every month, not to mention that the Big Snake had given him half a spirit vein. Hehe, Senior Brother Shu Fa really knew nothing. Shu Fa said in a voice message, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Fellow Daoist Mo Han has read my fortune. He said that it¡¯s not suitable to do it this month.¡± Heh¡­ To pick an auspicious day to deal with the demon race, these Sect Masters were really too particr. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Senior Brother toe over,¡± said Dong Xi via voice chat. ¡­ Dong Xi could not stay in the Rainbow Store forever. She had used 1,000 top-grade spirit stones to exchange for a high-grade spirit tool that could change her appearance. Not to mention a Soul Formation cultivator, even a Form Synthesis cultivator would not be able to discover it. Dong Xi casually walked on the street and found that there was a cultivation field for body refinement here. However, one had to pay 20 low-grade spirit stones to enter. Dong Xi was very curious about which one was better to use, this cultivation ground or the sect¡¯s sword-testing stone. The training field was filled with Gravity Stones. Dong Xi had just entered and waspletely unprepared. She immediately knelt down due to the force of the gravity. When the group of people saw Dong Xi like this, they immediately burst intoughter. ¡°This is a neer.¡± ¡°The first time we¡¯re meeting, and you¡¯re already giving me a big bow?¡± ¡°Kid, you¡¯re quite polite! Hurry up and get up, hahaha.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi silently stood up from the ground and stretched her body. She felt that it was worth the spirit stones. Dong Xi did not have many body refiners around her, so she could not learn much. However, this ce was different. When Dong Xi saw others practicing their legs, she would follow suit. When others practiced their arms, she would secretly learn from them. A day passed. Dong Xi left reluctantly until night fell. If they were allowed to spend the night here, Dong Xi would want to stay here for an entire month. After leaving, Dong Xi thought of the Green Bamboo Wine. After tempering her body, the effect of drinking the wine was quite good. She turned around and walked towards the small tavern. Every time he walked far away, Dong Xi felt that something was wrong. She quickly circted her cultivation technique as if she was warning him. Dong Xi dragged her tired body and saw a man holding a sword at the end of the street not far away. He looked at Dong Xi coldly like a demon beast preparing to hunt. This person had a scar on his face, and it was a ghastly sight. That¡¯s right, Dong Xi had seen this person before. It was in Zhao Shurou¡¯s courtyard. It was the man who had been hung up and was on the verge of death. The two of them looked at each other and did not speak. Dong Xi had an inexplicable premonition. This man was here for Dong Xi. Dong Xi stopped and did not turn around to escape. The rules of the Qinan City forbade fighting. Even Soul Formation cultivators had to abide by this rule, let alone these low-level cultivators! Chapter 362 - 362 Shock 362 Shock Of course, rules were rules. If this person had directly captured Dong Xi and killed her in private, no one would have found out. Thank you readers! Dong Xi secretly took out the Speed Talisman and stuck it on her body. If something went wrong, she would immediately run away. However, before she left, Dong Xi felt that she could talk to this man. Dong Xi was very sure that the person she saw in the courtyard was this man. Zhao Shurou had treated him so badly, so how could he still risk his life for Zhao Shurou? Although Dong Xi had some guesses, she would only know if it was correct after testing it out. The man was surprised to see Dong Xi walking over instead of running away. What surprised the man was what happened next. Dong Xi walked forward and looked at the man. She said calmly, ¡°Wuma?¡± Wuma, ¡°?¡± ¡­ Dong Xi did not trust the shops outside. In the end, she brought Wuma back to the Rainbow Store. The two of them sat face to face. Dong Xi could not bear to use the good work Second Brother left to entertain Wuma, so she could only give Wuma a bowl of the Green Bamboo Wine she had bought. Wuma saw Dong Xi take a sip. Wuma picked up the bowl and finished it in one gulp. ¡°Did Zhao Shurou ask you toe?¡± asked Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at Wuma, her tone was very certain. Wuma leaned back in his chair and looked at Dong Xi. It seemed that everyone had underestimated the little girl. This girl¡¯s strength and background were not that simple. It was also because of this that Wuma came back with Dong Xi. Wuma faintly felt that Dong Xi might really be able to help. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Wuma nodded. Dong Xi saw that Wuma was so cooperative and said, ¡°How did you recognize me?¡± ¡°Your eyes,¡± said Wuma. His appearance could change, but his eyes would never change. ¡°Nonsense, I only nced at you.¡± Dong Xi said in disbelief. ¡°And hair,¡± said Wuma again. ¡°Where is Qiao Xiaoyan?¡± asked Dong Xi. Wuma said excitedly, ¡°The City Lord sent you?¡± ¡°You can say so.¡± Dong Xi shrugged. ¡°It¡¯s a long story,¡± Wuma sighed. Wuma was originally Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s personal bodyguard. The two of them had developed feelings for each other over time. If Qiao Xiaoyan wanted to be cultivationpanions with Wuma, the Zhaofeng City Lord would naturally not agree. After all, Wuma was a Golden Core guard. Qiao Xiaoyan had the temper of a youngdy. When she saw that her father did not agree, she eloped with Wuma. Zhaofeng City Lord was furious and threatened that he would never have a daughter like her. Three months ago, Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s life token suddenly cracked. The City Lord of Zhaofeng City sent people to contact Qiao Xiaoyan and Wuma, but they could not reach them at all. The City Lord of Zhaofeng City immediately panicked. There was no news from the people he had sent out to find her. With no other choice, Zhaofeng City Lord asked for help from the Ningtian Sect. When this mission was being graded, he identally mixed this difficult mission into the D-grade mission pool, and was then assigned to Dong Xi. ¡°What a touching love story!¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°Qiao Xiaoyan was in danger? You can¡¯t even save her with your Golden Core cultivation?¡± Qiao Xiaoyan and Wuma, one was a Golden Core cultivator and the other was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. They actually sent Dong Xi, who was at the Qi Refinement stage, to save them? Was this a joke? Wuma¡¯s expression was gloomy as he said, ¡°That day, I was at the Rainbow Store and helped the youngdy get the jade hairpin. Zhao Shurou took a fancy to me¡­ Zhao Shurou grabbed the Young Miss and forced me to submit¡­¡± At this point, Wuma seemed to be at a loss for words. Dong Xi said, ¡°So, you followed Zhao Shurou?¡± ¡°If I can save Young Miss, I don¡¯t mind dying.¡± Wuma shook his head and said, ¡°But Young Miss said that if I do anything against my will to save her, Young Miss will self-destruct and her soul will be destroyed.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she felt extremely emotional. Qiao Xiaoyan was also a staunch woman. ¡°So, Qiao Xiaoyan is in Zhao Shurou¡¯s hands?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Wuma nodded. ¡°So, Zhao Shurou used Qiao Xiaoyan to force you toe and capture me?¡± asked Dong Xi. Wuma nodded. Dong Xi sighed and fell into deep thought. ¡°In that case, bring me back,¡± said Dong Xi after a long time. Wuma did not expect Dong Xi to say this. He raised his head and looked at Dong Xi in disbelief. ¡°You will die,¡± said Wuma. Of course, Dong Xi knew that Zhao Shurou did not want Dong Xi to live. It was just that Dong Xi had escaped. Dong Xi said righteously, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll sacrifice my life for justice.¡± Wuma did not make a move. Wuma said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, neither I nor Young Miss would do such a thing.¡± Chapter 363 - 363 Detailed Discussion 363 Detailed Discussion Dong Xi looked at Wuma¡¯s serious expression and was very satisfied. Thank you readers! There was nothing wrong with helping such a person. She was afraid of those who stabbed him in the back. Wuma said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be anxious. Listen to me properly. This matter needs to be discussed in detail. Do you know where Qiao Xiaoyan is?¡± Hearing Wuma¡¯s words, Dong Xi immediately took out a pen and paper and drew a simple map. Then, he handed it to Wuma to see and let Wuma supplement and perfect it. ¡°Qiao Xiaoyan is trapped in this barrier?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Wuma nodded. Dong Xi casually took a stool and drew a veryplicated array on it with blood. ¡°Do you have a nk formation te?¡± asked Dong Xi. Wuma shook his head. Dong Xi was not in a hurry. She opened the door and asked Xiao Han to send over two low-grade nk formation disks. The could have anything they wanted in the Rainbow Store. Dong Xi carved the formation into the formation disk. After she seeded, she handed the formation disk to Wuma. ¡°ce this outside the barrier. I¡¯ll help you save Qiao Xiaoyan,¡± said Dong Xi. In an instant, Wuma felt that Dong Xi was an expert. ¡°Is this really possible?¡± Wuma asked excitedly. ¡°Can she really be saved?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if we can save her or not,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°At least we can get her out of the barrier without alerting anyone.¡± Dong Xi had experimented with the giant snake before, so it could not be fake. Wuma heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Alright, as long as we can get out of the barrier, it will be much easier to get out of the Zhao Manor. When will we make our move?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We still need a helper. Wait a minute. This is the perfect time to perfect the escape n,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°How many days did Zhao Shurou give you?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Five days,¡± said Wuma. Dong Xi nodded, then took out hermunication jade slip and urged her to hurry up. This time, Dong Xi almost did not recognize him. With tears in her eyes, she said, ¡°You¡­ Are you Senior Brother Shu Fa?¡± Shu Fa looked at the little Junior Sister in front of him who was dressed like a boy and had shaved her head. He was a little speechless. ¡°If you¡¯re Dong Xi, then I¡¯m Shu Fa,¡± Shu Fa exined. Dong Xi removed the magic tool on her body and revealed her true appearance. She grew a little taller and slimmer. She was still bald. This time, Dong Xi did not want to expose her hair, so she shaved her head. However, Dong Xi had never expected that Senior Brother Shu Fa would be even more ridiculous. He had actually turned into a charming beauty. This figure, this appearance¡­ He was almost prettier than Senior Sister Gu Yao. Shu Fa also removed his disguise, and a person wearing the uniform of a Ningtian Sect disciple appeared. When Dong Xi thought of Senior Brother¡¯s charming appearance just now, she could not help but think of a word, ¡®sanctimonious¡¯! ¡°Senior Brother, why are you dressed like this?¡± Dong Xi asked in confusion. ¡°I heard that Madam Zhao Shurou is very attractive. I have to be careful,¡± Shu Fa said seriously. Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi wanted to say that Senior Brother Shu Fa was worrying too much, but when she thought about how Zhao Shurou had taken a fancy to Dong Tianya and how her taste was not that good, Senior Brother Shu Fa¡¯s worry was understandable. Thinking of this, Dong Xi suddenly became nervous. Looking at Shu Fa, Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, do you think Zhao Shurou sent people to capture me because she likes me?¡± ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Shu Fa couldn¡¯t help butugh. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Senior Brother Shu Fa was really not polite. Since the helper had arrived, Dong Xi called Wuma over. The three of them began to discuss. Wuma looked at the charming Fairy beside Dong Xi and nodded his head, which could be considered as a greeting. Dong Xi told Shu Fa about the n she had discussed with Wuma. Shu Fa was also very surprised after hearing it. Shu Fa faintly felt that even if he did note, Junior Sister Dong Xi could still save her. No wonder those Martial Uncles, Song Qingfeng, and Liang Yan were all so nice to Junior Sister Dong Xi. She had such a unique way of thinking. And she was very special. Shu Fa held the map that Dong Xi drew. Shu Fa looked at it for a long time before saying, ¡°Junior Sister, is this really feasible? What if the recement method doesn¡¯t work?¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve tried. It should be fine. Even if it doesn¡¯t work, it¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°But how do you know that Qiao Xiaoyan is the only one here?¡± Shu Fa asked. Dong Xi did not answer, but turned around to look at Wuma. Wuma immediately said, ¡°I¡¯ve already checked. Young Miss is the only one in the array. asionally, some maids will go in. It won¡¯t be long before theye out. These maids¡¯ cultivation levels aren¡¯t high either.¡± Dong Xi simply and roughly took out a wooden basin and two empty jars of Green Bamboo Wine. ¡°If the person who is swapped out isn¡¯t Qiao Xiaoyan, Senior Brother, you can handle it. We can continue to swap.¡± Shu Fa, ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 364 - 364 Protective Treasures 364 Protective Treasures ¡°How do I leave the residence after the recement?¡± Shu Fa asked. ¡°Have you thought it through?¡± Thank you readers! ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve already nned it out. When the timees, Senior Brother will hold Zhao Shurou back while the three of us run.¡± Shu Fa, ¡°¡­¡± Shu Fa squeezed out a smile and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you really don¡¯t treat Senior Brother as an outsider. ¡± Dong Xi smiled and Shu Fa continued, ¡°Then have you ever thought that Senior Brother might not be able to beat Zhao Shurou?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a high chance that he¡¯s not a match for her,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°But Senior Brother, you¡¯vee so far. It¡¯s impossible that the Immortal Sect Master didn¡¯t give you any protective treasures, right?¡± Shu Fa was silent again. Shu Fa had always thought that he was smart, but he did not expect that he would be schemed against one day. Dong Xi was indeed Song Qingfeng¡¯s Junior Sister, the two of them werepletely the same. Shu Fa raised his head and saw Dong Xi¡¯s smiling face with ill intentions. He immediately understood. ¡°Little girl, how can you tease your Senior Brother like that?¡± Shu Fa said helplessly. At this moment, Dong Xi became serious. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t worry. No matter how powerful the restrictions in the Zhao Manor are, you can just follow them. When the timees, I¡¯ll just substitute them for you outside. The garden in the southeast corner is not bad.¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to Shu Fa on the map. Shu Fa also understood what Dong Xi meant. Dong Xi had no intention of entering the Zhao Manor. Thinking of Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation, Shu Fa felt that it was better not to let Dong Xi enter. If something really happened, Martial Uncle Lingxu and those few disciples would definitely make Shu Fa pay the price. Dong Xi once again took out his storage ring and found three spirit talismans to distribute to Shu Fa and Wuma. ¡°This talisman can conceal one¡¯s aura and shield one¡¯s divine sense,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°It onlysts for the time for an incense stick to burn. You must be careful.¡± As he spoke, Dong Xi handed the extra piece of paper to Wuma. After Wuma rescued Qiao Xiaoyan, he will paste it on Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s body. The three of them went to the Zhao residence one after another. Wuma took the token given by Zhao Shurou and walked in. Then, she used the Substitution Spell to send Shu Fa into the southeast corner of the Zhao Manor. She aimed to swap Senior Brother Shu Fa with a stool in the manor. Seeing Shu Fa disappear and be reced by a stool, Ma Wu¡¯s heart rxed. Their first attempt seeded, which greatly boosted their confidence. The two of them followed the map and found the ce where Qiao Xiaoyan was imprisoned. They searched around, dealt with the guards, and threw the stool inside. Qiao Xiaoyan was a little puzzled when she saw a stool appear out of thin air. She went forward to pick the stool up. Unexpectedly, the moment she touched the stool, the world spun and Qiao Xiaoyan appeared in front of the person who had been thinking about her day and night. Qiao Xiaoyan was extremely delighted. She ignored the shackles on her body and charged straight at Wuma. Wuma hugged Qiao Xiaoyan and looked at the other ces sensibly. She seemed to be unhurt. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll leave first,¡± said Wuma. Everything seemed to be going very smoothly. Just as the few of them were about to reach the southeast corner, a huge divine sense swept over. Shu Fa and Wuma had high cultivation levels and could still resist. However, Qiao Xiaoyan was forced to the ground by the pressure of this divine sense. Wuma released his divine sense to envelop Qiao Xiaoyan. Even so, the two of them were still unable to move an inch. This¡­ What should he do? Could it be that they were all going to be captured and brought back? Both of them had spirit talismans on them. Logically speaking, they should not have been discovered. However, Qiao Xiaoyan had juste out and Zhao Shurou had already discovered her. The only exnation was that there was a warning array in the room. Wuma looked at Shu Fa and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, if you can leave, you should leave quickly. Zhao Shurou wants to deal with us. If you don¡¯t leave¡­ I¡¯m afraid ¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Shurou had already arrived on top of them. Zhao Shurou looked at Shu Fa with a sharp gaze. Zhao Shurou said lightly, ¡°Bringing a big beauty to save a little beauty? Wuma, your luck with women is not bad¡­¡± Wuma gritted his teeth and resisted the pressure of the Soul Formation stage. Wuma shouted angrily, ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± Zhao Shurou looked at Qiao Xiaoyan, who was in Wuma¡¯s arms. She smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°Little Beauty, how is it? I said before that men are unreliable. Look, you¡¯ve found an even prettier one after going out for a few days.¡± Qiao Xiaoyan wanted to curse her, but she could not say anything under the absolute pressure. Shu Fa was at the Nascent Soul stage and was more powerful than Wuma. But now, Shu Fa was also very hesitant. If Shu Fa was alone, he would definitely be able to escape. However, Wuma and Qiao Xiaoyan would fall into Zhao Shurou¡¯s hands again. Even if they did not die, they would most likely be skinned. Even if he brought Wuma and Qiao Xiaoyan along, Shu Fa might not be able to escape. The moment Shu Fa hesitated, a deafening sound came from above, and the ground shook. Everyone looked over and saw a huge wind dending on the protective shield. Chapter 365 - 365 Where Did The Helpers Come From? 365 Where Did The Helpers Come From? This was not the end. Following that, waves of losses crashed over. In an instant, the protective barrier was on the verge of shattering. Thank you readers! At this moment, Zhao Shurou could not care less about the three little fellows and immediately flew out. Zhao Shurou shouted, ¡°Who dares to make an enemy of my Zhao Manor?!¡± Two cultivators appeared in front of Zhao Shurou. Looking at themotion just now, they knew that these two were at the Soul Formation stage. ¡°Zhao Shurou, die!¡± One of the old men gritted his teeth and said. Zhao Shurou roared, ¡°The two of you? You want to kill me?¡± Dream on!¡± !! ¡­ Shu Fa saw that Zhao Shurou could not estimate them at all, so he immediately said, ¡°Hurry up and leave.¡± Shu Fa and the others sessfully arrived at the southeast corner. Dong Xi used a wooden basin and a wine jar to swap them out with the Substitution Spell. Looking at the sky, Dong Xi waved at Shu Fa and the others. Dong Xi said, ¡°Quick, follow me.¡± Dong Xi led the way, but Wuma had to use all his strength to keep up. He was not surprised by the Substitution Spell, but he was very envious of Dong Xi for having the movement technique of Earth Shrinking. When they entered the Rainbow Store, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Qiao Xiaoyan took a sip of tea and looked at the little baldy in front of her. ¡°What happened?¡± Shu Fa asked. ¡°Where did the helperse from?¡± ¡°Senior Brother, I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve heard that money can make the world go round,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Shu Fa frowned. It was not that he did not believe it, but¡­ ¡°Do you have something that can tempt a Soul Formation cultivator?¡± Shu Fa asked curiously. Dong Xi shook her head. ¡°Of course not,¡± she said. ¡°I¡¯m such a poor person¡­¡± Shu Fa, ¡°¡­¡± She was still holding a grudge. Dong Xi looked at Qiao Xiaoyan who was standing at the side. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have it, but the best father in the world does.¡± Qiao Xiaoyan was speechless. Qiao Xiaoyan reacted and said excitedly, ¡°You mean, my father sent those people? My father¡­ Didn¡¯t he say that he wanted to sever our father-daughter rtionship?¡± Dong Xi was a little envious. In her two lifetimes, all the fathers she met were scum. In her previous life, her father had abandoned her mother the moment Dong Xi made a move. When her mother died young, Dong Xi went to an orphanage. In this life, her father had more than 30 concubines. No matter how many children he used, he might not remember them. Qiao Xiaoyan did not say anything. After this experience, Wuma was still a little afraid. He said, ¡°Miss, let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°Go back? You know that my father won¡¯t let us be together. You want me to go back?¡± Qiao Xiaoyan was extremely furious. When she saw Shu Fa at the side, Qiao Xiaoyan instantly broke down. Qiao Xiaoyan raised her hand and pointed at Shu Fa. She said, ¡°Is what Zhao Shurou said true? You left for a few days and found another woman? Do you like this woman? If it¡¯s true, I¡¯ll leave now and give up my seat for her.¡± Shu Fa, ¡°¡­¡± What was this? If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t havee. After making such a long trip and not helping much, he was even forced to get involved in a love triangle? When Dong Xi heard these words, sheughed without giving him any face. Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s expression was extremely ugly as she said, ¡°Little Master, I don¡¯t me you Buddhist cultivators for not understanding feelings. I hope you won¡¯t meddle in this matter.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she could not stopughing. Shu Fa helplessly took down his magic tool. His tall figure was revealed. Shu Fa said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t want to hide it, I was just afraid of Zhao Shurou.¡± Qiao Xiaoyan immediately understood what he meant. Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s face instantly turned red when she thought of her earlier behavior and those words. No matter what, this was her savior. How could she say that? Qiao Xiaoyan bowed and said, ¡°I¡¯m being unreasonable. I apologize to you. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Shu Fa waved his hand, indicating that it was alright. ¡°Fellow Daoist, if the two of you are truly in love with each other, you should go back and have a good talk with the City Lord. The City Lord is doing this for your own good,¡± said Dong Xi. Qiao Xiaoyan nodded and looked at Dong Xi. Qiao Xiaoyan said, ¡°Little Master, I have another question.¡± ¡°Please speak, Miss Qiao,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°How did you find my father?¡± Qiao Xiaoyan asked. Qiao Xiaoyan did not believe that a young monk could have her father¡¯s spiritual connection. ¡°It¡¯s very simple. I¡¯ll send a message at the square saying that I have a clue about you. All I have to do is wait for your father toe to me,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Qiao Xiaoyan fell into deep thought. Dong Xi watched Shu Fa use his longsword to cut off Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s shackles and personally sent the two of them downstairs. After the two left, Shu Fa said, ¡°City Lord Qiao is a good father. If it weren¡¯t for those two who sensed it in time, I¡¯m afraid none of the three of us would have escaped.¡± Chapter 366 - 366 What a Good Father 366 What a Good Father Thank you readers! Dong Xi did not exin in detail what was going on. Could City Lord Qiao really take out so many spirit stones to save his daughter? Perhaps he was willing. Otherwise, why would he look for the Ningtian Sect? However, he could not spend a lot of money to invite two Soul Formation cultivators over. There were too many possibilities. Dong Xi first used his alternate ount to post a message in the square, saying that Qiao Xiaoyan had gone missing and that City Lord Qiao was depressed. It was said that he was willing to spend a lot of money to find his daughter. In order to snatch limited resources, many people in the cultivation world were very poor. When they heard that City Lord Qiao was willing to spend a lot of money to find his daughter, everyone paid attention to it. They all wanted to know how much City Lord Qiao was willing to pay. Seeing that more people were discussing, Dong Xi continued to post on her side ount, saying that she knew Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s whereabouts and wondered if she could get some tips. As expected, City Lord Qiao¡¯s men took the initiative to contact Dong Xi. Dong Xi then told City Lord Qiao about Qiao Xiaoyan¡¯s current situation. After that, Dong Xi continued to lead the way, saying that City Lord Qiao had actually taken out a good item to hire Soul Formation cultivators to save his daughter. He was really a good father. If she could live in City Lord Qiao¡¯s city, it would definitely be very safe. City Lord Qiao¡¯s reputation as a good father spread far and wide. Many itinerant cultivators ran to Zhaofeng City to seek shelter. The lives of the citizens of Zhaofeng City also became better. If he did not save them, the reputation and poprity that he had painstakingly gained would be lost, and City Lord Qiao would have no hope of advancing to the six main cities. Moreover, the one who was captured was City Lord Qiao¡¯s daughter. City Lord Qiao thought about it and finally decided to take out something good. The other party had already paved the way just to deal with Zhao Shurou. Even if City Lord Qiao sent someone to cripple Zhao Shurou, Qi Nancheng would not do anything. After all, City Lord Qiao was just a good father who was crazy for his daughter. City Lord Qiao offered a reward for Zhao Shurou just for his daughter. It was that simple. Dong Xi did not tell anyone about this. She was sure that City Lord Qiao loved Qiao Xiaoyan very much and would only treat Qiao Xiaoyan better in the future for the sake of her status as a good father. Shu Fa looked at Dong Xi¡¯s smiling face. Shu Fa suddenly had an idea in his heart. Perhaps this matter was not as simple as what his Junior Sister had said. However, no matter what Dong Xi did, she used her Qi Refinement stage cultivation toplete this task. She was really amazing. At the same time, Shu Fa felt a little emotional because of Dong Xi¡¯s actions. It turned out one could also borrow strength to fight strength in these missions. There was no need for him to fight head-on. His worldview was immediately opened, and the cultivation realm barrier that had been troubling him for a long time also loosened. Shu Fa cupped his fists and bowed to Dong Xi. Shu Fa said, ¡°Thank you, Junior Sister. I¡¯ve learned a lot.¡± Shu Fa was now preparing to go back and break through. Shu Fa said, ¡°Junior Sister, are we going back?¡± ¡°Not for now. I found a good ce here. Senior Brother, you can go back first.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. When Shu Fa heard this, he could not help but say, ¡°Hmm? A good ce? In that case, I won¡¯t go back.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Dong Xi frowned and said helplessly, ¡°Senior Brother, that¡¯s a ce for body refinement. You¡¯re not a body cultivator, so why are you joining in the fun?¡± ¡°What?¡± Shu Fa asked in surprise. ¡°Junior Sister is also a body cultivator?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Shu Fa cupped his fists and said, ¡°As expected, Junior Sister is still the best.¡± Dong Xi sent Shu Fa away and stayed in Qinan City alone. Of course, it was not entirely because of body refinement. Now that Zhao Shurou was injured and her whereabouts were unknown, the entire Qinan City was going to be reshuffled. Dong Xi had to work hard for Second Senior Brother. After spending so many spirit stones, she had to be a little useful at least, right? The shops and casinos under the Zhao family¡¯s name were the targets of everyone. Everyone had an unwritten agreement, which was firste, first served. Dong Xi had no interest in gambling dens. She just wanted more shops. With shops, what could she not do? Qinan City was in turmoil. Xiao Han found Dong Xi and said worriedly, ¡°Boss, we seized so many shops¡­ I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy to operate¡± Dong Xi finally understood why the Rainbow Store was located in the best location and had the biggest signboard in other ces, but why it was so low-key in Qinan City. It was because it was being suppressed! Dong Xi thought for a moment and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Is Qinan City afraid that we¡¯ll be the only one and dominate the market? We¡¯ll just make somepetitors, such as the Red Clothes Shop and the Green Clothes Shop¡­ Open more andpete with each other. As long as they don¡¯t find out, hehe Let their spirit stones go into our pockets!¡± Xiao Han¡¯s brows rxed as she lowered her head and smiled. Xiao Han said, ¡°Boss is indeed powerful. We didn¡¯t think of such a method. This subordinate will arrange for someone to do it now. It will definitely be done well.¡± Chapter 367 - 367 Still Alive! 367 Still Alive! Thank you readers! After that, Dong Xi sent a message to Second Senior Brother, who had lost contact with her, and was prepared to receive no reply. However, she did not expect Second Senior Brother to reply this time. [Good, as expected of my Junior Sister. This idea is very good. If it were Eldest Senior Brother, I¡¯m afraid he would never be able to think of it.] Dong Xi, ¡°!!!¡± Dong Xi immediately sent a message. [Second Senior Brother is still alive!] Song Qingfeng, ¡°¡­¡± Song Qingfeng replied helplessly. [Of course I¡¯m alive. I just went to the mortal world, not to reincarnate.] Dong Xi replied quickly with a smile. [When is Second Senior Brothering back? There¡¯s still a big matter waiting for Second Senior Brother to do!] Song Qingfeng, [What is it?] Dong Xi, [Second Senior Brother, I have the whereabouts of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon.] Song Qingfeng was silent for a long time after reading the message. Finally, he sent a voice message. He said, ¡°Very good. I hope that when I return, Junior Sister will be able to capture the Deep Sea Flood Dragon and offer it to Second Senior Brother who loves you dearly.¡± Dong Xi heard a man¡¯s voice in the background. She asked, ¡°Who are you chatting with?¡± Just as Dong Xi was about to type a question, Song Qingfeng sent another voice message. His voice was a little impatient. Song Qingfeng said, ¡°Junior Sister, Third Brother wants your spiritual breath to add you as a friend. Don¡¯t add him.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Third Senior Brother? What was there to hesitate about? She had to add him now! This was the future Human Emperor, a thigh for her to hug! If she did not hug him now, what was she waiting for? When Si Kong saw Dong Xi¡¯s name on the jade slip, he smiled and shook the jade slip. Si Kong said, ¡°Second Senior Brother, I¡¯ve disappointed you!¡± When Song Qingfeng saw this scene, he was a little angry. He picked up the jade slip and sent a voice message to Dong Xi. He said, ¡°Am I the person who loves you the most!? Why aren¡¯t you talking?¡± ¡­ ¡°That¡¯s more like it,¡± Song Qingfeng said in the voice chat. Seeing that Second Brother was finally not angry, Dong Xi was relieved. ¡°Second Senior Brother, when will you be back?¡± Dong Xi asked again. When Second Brother woulde back would determine how long this token couldst. ¡°There are still some things that need to be done. I¡¯ll go back after I¡¯m done,¡± said Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi did not continue to ask for the exact time. She said in the voice chat, ¡°Second Senior Brother, if you¡¯reing back soon, please inform me in advance.¡± This way, Dong Xi would be mentally prepared. Song Qingfeng¡¯s voice carried a hint of a smile as he said, ¡°Okay.¡± Song Qingfeng put away the jade slip, but he kept smiling. Si Kong was very curious. Si Kong ced the chess pieces on the chessboard and said, ¡°This little Junior Sister seems to have a good rtionship with you?¡± There was naturally a reason for Si Kong¡¯s words. Si Kong and Song Qingfeng had been brothers for more than a hundred years. Other than the decades they had spent in the mortal world, they had also lived together for more than a hundred years. Song Qingfeng was not an easy person to get along with. He was very proud and did not seem to care about anyone. The Third Senior Brother, Si Kong, who had no sense of existence, was still okay, but Song Qingfeng and the Eldest Senior Brother had been fighting for 200 years. This was also the first time he saw Song Qingfeng being so approachable. Therefore, Si Kong was more interested in this little Junior Sister he had never seen before. ¡°My Junior Sister apprentice is naturally on good terms with me,¡± said Song Qingfeng. Song Qingfeng ced the chess piece on the board. On the chessboard, Song Qingfeng¡¯s piece was about to capture Si Kong¡¯s chess piece. Si Kong was about to lose, and Song Qingfeng could not help but feel proud. However, in the next second, Si Kong¡¯s chess piecended and cut Song Qingfeng¡¯s dragon in half like a long sword. Song Qingfeng lost interest and threw the chess piece into the box. ¡°I¡¯m not ying anymore,¡± said Song Qingfeng. ¡°We agreed that if you win, I¡¯ll help you find that person you¡¯re looking for,¡± said Si Kong lightly. ¡°I can find myself,¡± Song Qingfeng said. ¡°You¡¯re a prince now, and you¡¯re learning the art of weighing the pros and cons every day. If I want to win against you, I might as well find that person myself.¡± ¡°The world is so big. How can you do it by yourself?¡± asked Si Kong. ¡°Then you don¡¯t need to worry about it. I do it myself,¡± said Song Qingfeng. ¡°Second Senior Brother, have you forgotten?¡± asked Si Kong. ¡°What did you do in the mortal world more than ten years ago?¡± Si Kong remembered that his Master was very angry at that time. It was as if his Second Senior Brother had interfered in the mortal world¡¯s matters and had even mistaken him for someone else Chapter 368 - 368 I Won’t Get the Wrong Person Again 368 I Won¡¯t Get the Wrong Person Again Thank you readers! ¡°Of course not,¡± said Song Qingfeng. ¡°This time, I definitely won¡¯t get the wrong person.¡± ¡°Second Senior Brother, Master has sealed part of your cultivation. How are you going to find him?¡± Si Kong could not help butugh. Song Qingfeng knew that Si Kong was also afraid that something would happen to him. Song Qingfeng looked at Si Kong and said, ¡°Junior Brother, there¡¯s no need to persuade me. I promised Father that I would find them. Even if I became a mortal, I would still find them, let alone now that I have ten percent of my cultivation. Thest time was an ident, but it¡¯s impossible this time.¡± Because the power of bloodline could not be profaned. Si Kong did not say anything else. He watched as Song Qingfeng stood up and waved his fan as he left. Si Kong did not stop him. Master had said that this was Second Senior Brother¡¯s Heart Tribtion. If he could not find someone, Second Senior Brother¡¯s cultivation speed would continue to be very slow. But who was Song Qingfeng looking for? It could actually affect one¡¯s state of mind? After Song Qingfeng left the Imperial Residence, Si Kong sent someone to look for him and promised to help Song Qingfeng find him. He could directly say that he had a water spirit root? These mortals did not know how to check for spirit roots. After thinking for a moment, Song Qingfeng asked the person to wait. Song Qingfeng took the jade slip and found Mo Han from Destiny Valley. Song Qingfeng said through voice chat, ¡°Fellow Daoist Mo Han, do you want to open calcte my fortune? The price is not a problem.¡± Although Mo Han was young, but his name was very resounding in the Eastern Continent. It was said that Mo Han¡¯s divinations were never wrong. Mo Han quickly replied, ¡°Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist, but I¡¯ve already performed divination this month.¡± Song Qingfeng frowned. He knew Mo Han¡¯s rule that he only do divination once a month. Although it would take a month, Song Qingfeng could afford to wait. Song Qingfeng said in the voice chat, ¡°Is next month okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but Sect Leader Wu Ren of the Beast Trainer Sect has already booked next month,¡± Mo Han said in a voice message. Song Qingfeng thought that it would be fine to wait for another month. Song Qingfeng said in the voice chat, ¡°The month after next?¡± ¡°Masked Moon Sect has reserved it,¡± Mo Han said. ¡­ Song Qingfeng asked for a few months and suddenly had an idea. Perhaps Mo Han did not want to perform divination at all? What did Mo Han know? The people of Destiny Valley were all mysterious. No one was willing to deal with them because they knew a little too much. Song Qingfeng thanked him and Mo Han breathed a sigh of relief. He almost lost his reputation. Mo Han did not know what Song Qingfeng wanted to ask, but he vaguely knew that he could not answer this question. Song Qingfeng thought it and looked for Dong Xi again. Didn¡¯t Little Junior Sister know how to calcte too? If Mo Han refused to calcte his fortune, Song Qingfeng could ask Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng could only try his best now. He did not care if his Junior Sister was right or not. She could just give him a direction. At this moment, Dong Xi was training her body in the body training field. Hearing that Second Brother was looking for her and wanted Dong Xi to read his fortune, she asked curiously, ¡°Second Senior Brother, why didn¡¯t you ask the people from Destiny Valley for help?¡± ¡°I¡¯m keeping the fertile water to myself,¡± Song Qingfeng said in the voice chat. ¡°Little Junior Sister, if you can calcte it, I¡¯ll give you all these spirit stones.¡± ¡°Thank you for your concern, Second Senior Brother. What are the characteristics of the person you¡¯re looking for?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°Let me see.¡± ¡°642 years old this year. Water spirit root,¡± Song Qingfeng replied immediately. Dong Xi took out the turtle shell that Li Li had given him. It was the first time she was using itit. Dong Xi arranged the tortoise shells properly and struck them with a binding technique. The tortoiseshells floated in the air, and forming a ring. Dong Xi cast thest spell, and the ring fell to the ground. Dong Xi took a look, took out a pen and paper, and began to calcte. After a long time, Dong Xi raised her head and confidently sent a message to Song Qingfeng. [Second Senior Brother, I didn¡¯t find anyone who meets your requirements.] Song Qingfeng gave up and nned to go out and search for it slowly. Dong Xi then sent another message. [I found a 642-year-old woman, but she doesn¡¯t have a water spirit root. However, I think there¡¯s only one person who can live for more than 600 years in the mortal world. Second Senior Brother, do you want to go and look for her?] ¡°Location,¡± Song Qingfeng replied immediately. Dong Xi could not figure out the exact location. She only told Second Brother a general direction and some of the surrounding environment. Dong Xi then sent a message. [Southwest direction, surrounded by water on all sides, wooden houses.] Song Qingfeng replied immediately. [Thank you, Junior Sister.] Dong Xi, [Why do we need to thank each other? Why don¡¯t you give me a few more blind eggs? Perhaps I can hatch a Deep Sea Flood Dragon?] Song Qingfeng replied, [It¡¯s easy. As long as you¡¯re good to me, you can take 100 blind eggs.] Chapter 369 - 369 Can’t Afford It 369 Can¡¯t Afford It In Dong Xi¡¯s mind, the scene of 100 Taoties instantly appeared. Although she knew that she would not be so lucky, such a scene sessfully made Dong Xi give up on the idea of continuing to hatch the blind egg. Thank you readers! Now, there was only one egg. Dong Xi could not afford to do such a thing. Dong Xi,[Forget it, I can¡¯t afford it.] Song Qingfeng replied, [Go to the Rainbow Store and pick a magic tool.] Song Qingfeng knew that Dong Xi would not care about this. However, they were all cultivators after all. If Song Qingfeng wanted to find someone, he could not let his Junior Sister bear the karma. When Dong Xi saw Second Senior Brother¡¯s message, she immediately revealed a money-grubber look. Dong Xi smiled and said in the voice message, ¡°Thank you, Second Senior Brother. I won¡¯t hesistate.¡± Song Qingfeng¡¯s gloomy mood was also washed away by Dong Xi¡¯sughter. Song Qingfeng murmured, ¡°What a silly girl.¡± Song Qingfeng turned around and realized that Si Kong had already arrived. Song Qingfeng did not hesitate and said directly, ¡°Southwest, surrounded by water, wooden houses. Where is it?¡± ¡­ Dong Xi was also very happy to help Second Senior Brother solve his problem. Now, Dong Xi was no longer a Junior Sister who could only rely on her Senior Brothers. At least she could help her Senior Brothers do something. Dong Xi casually put away themunication jade slip. Just as he was about to put away the turtle shell on the ground, she found that everyone had surrounded her. A group of burly men surrounded Dong Xi and looked at the turtle shell on the ground with curiosity. ¡°Fellow Daoist, do you know how to read fortunes?¡± asked one of them. The others also stared at Dong Xi, waiting for her answer. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°I know¡­ Just a little.¡± Everyone immediately started talking. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re really amazing. Can you help me read my fortune and see when I can have a wife?¡± ¡°Go to the side. You¡¯re all cultivators. Why are you marrying a wife? That¡¯s called a Dao Companion! Fellow Daoist, tell me what kind of demon beasts I can catch this time and whether I cane back alive.¡± ¡°Is there a need to ask? You¡¯re already in the third level of body refining tier, so you¡¯ll definitelye back alive. Why don¡¯t you read my fortune and see if I can enter the Ningtian Sect?¡± ¡°How old are you? You¡¯ve reached the Foundation Establishment stage. How can the Ningtian Sect ept you? Fellow Daoist, you better read my fortune¡­¡± ¡­ Dong Xi looked at the people around him and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°How about this, each of you will fight with me. I will read the fortune of whoever wins. I guarantee that it will be true.¡± When everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they immediately quieted down. A momentter, they began to talk. ¡°Fellow Daoist, is this true? You¡¯re not joking?¡± ¡°Fellow cultivator, we are all body cultivators, so we have quite a bit of strength. We might not be too careful when we fight. It wouldn¡¯t be good if we hurt you.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi waved her hand to interrupt the crowd and took out a porcin bottle. Dong Xi said, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. I have the Vitality Reinforcement Pills. Even if I get injured, I won¡¯t me you.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s words unintentionally calmed everyone down. Immediately, someone said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go first!¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, please give me some pointers!¡± Dong Xi cupped her fists and said. It was fine for body cultivators to spar here, because under five times the gravity, everyone¡¯s movements would be slower, and they would not use spiritual power. As long as no one died, no one would care. The two of them walked to an empty space. The remaining body cultivators formed a circle, which wasparable to a boxing championship. Among them, some wanted to read fortunes, and some heard that a child was sparring with a strong man. Indeed, it was human nature to watch the drama unfold. ¡°Fellow Daoist, please go ahead!¡± said Dong Xi. This person was nine feet tall, twice the size of Dong Xi, and his small arms were as thick as Dong Xi¡¯s thighs. This person¡¯s muscles were full of strength, and it was also a symbol of diligent cultivation. His fist was as big as a bowl, and it was almost as big as a high-grade spiritual energy. Dong Xi was a little excited. She would be stronger if she met a stronger opponent. This was the essence of the cultivation technique that the Big Snake had given him. Because of the five times gravity, everyone¡¯s movements were slower than when they were outside. However, they was still much faster than those who were not body cultivators. Dong Xi did not dodge when she saw the fisting, but raised her hand to meet it. Dong Xi¡¯s thin arm formed a contrast with that person¡¯s arm. Some people did not dare to look at it anymore and turned their heads away. Dong Xi was not afraid at all. After receiving this punch, all the muscles in her body began to move rhythmically. When everyone saw this scene, they all started discussing in surprise. ¡°What is it? She actually blocked it?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, this Fellow Daoist is very powerful. I¡¯ve seen her almost every day for the past month. I¡¯ve never heard of her as a body refiner.¡± Chapter 370 - 370 Special Cultivation Method 370 Special Cultivation Method When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked and discussed animatedly. Thank you readers! ¡°What? She¡¯s also a body cultivator? Then why are there no traces of cultivation on the muscles on her body?¡± ¡°It should be a special cultivation technique.¡± ¡°Moreover, this girl dared to challenge everyone. This means that she has a certain level of strength.¡± ¡­ While everyone was discussing, Dong Xi had already fought with this person dozens of times. Dong Xi sometimes used her arms to block, sometimes her legs, and sometimes her back. It was like a piece of steel that had been tempered thousands of times, continuously tempering every part of his body. When Dong Xi felt that it was about time, she started to counterattack. Dong Xi returned the energy that was originally hidden in her body. The nine-foot-tall man fell to the ground with a loud sound. The people around him cheered. Body cultivators were like this. As long as they won with their strength, they were worthy of praise! Dong Xi stepped forward and stretched out her hand towards the person on the ground. This person pulled Dong Xi¡¯s hand in annoyance and used Dong Xi¡¯s strength to stand up. ¡°Thank you, Fellow Daoist,¡± the man said with a bruise on his face. Dong Xi took out a porcin bottle and took out a Vitality Reinforcement Pill for this person. It was not too much for him to eat a medicinal pill as he followed the body refinement. At this moment, everyone understood. It turned out that¡­ Dong Xi said that she had the Vitality Reinforcement Pills so that everyone would not worry¡­ It was prepared for everyone. Dong Xi¡¯s opponent was stunned when he saw the pill. Vitality Reinforcement Pill? Top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill? Dong Xi gave him the pill that he used to heal himself? Wasn¡¯t this a waste of heavenly treasures? Why would such a small injury require such a good medicinal pill? As a body cultivator, his skin was rough and his flesh was thick. He could still suffer more from such injuries. This person carefully ced the Vitality Reinforcement Pill into the porcin bottle. Then, he looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, another two rounds?¡± When everyone heard what he said, they immediately became anxious. Everyone immediately shouted in dissatisfaction. ¡°Fellow Daoist, is it our turn? He has already fought once and has no strength left. It¡¯s our turn.¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t even eaten the Vitality Reinforcement Pill. He probably hasn¡¯t thought of what to do. Let me do it. ¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi listened to the enthusiastic voices around her and said with a smile, ¡°Fellow Daoist, go and rest for a while. I¡¯ll spar with other fellow Daoists.¡± When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited. Dong Xi pointed at a burly man and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, please give me some pointers.¡± The person who was pointed at immediately became happy and said, ¡°Please!¡± The two of them fought back and forth, and everyone¡¯s blood boiled as they watched. They wondered when it would be their turn. Just like that, Dong Xi gave a Vitality Reinforcement Pill to each person she defeated. In the eyes of these body cultivators, this was a great thing. If he fought with this child, not only could he refine his body, but he could also obtain a top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill. Everyone rushed forward one after another. Even when they entered seclusion at night, Dong Xi was still not defeated. The other body cultivators who did not get the chance were very disappointed. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Fellow Daoists, don¡¯t be disappointed. I¡¯ll be back early tomorrow morning. Let¡¯s continue thepetition.¡± Everyone immediately shouted in high spirits, ¡°See you tomorrow!¡± ¡­ The news of Dong Xi sparring with others and giving them a divination calction if she lost and a top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill if she won spread throughout the entire Qinan City. Many people were tempted, but they heard that only body cultivators werepeting, so many people could not go. However, when Baki and the others heard this, they were very tempted. Body cultivator, these brothers are all body cultivators! No, he had to spar with this fool. The next morning, many people were already waiting outside the training ground before it opened. As soon as Dong Xi arrived, everyone immediately surrounded her and spoke enthusiastically. ¡°Good morning, Fellow Daoist.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, what we said yesterday still counts today?¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, if you lose, you will give me a top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill?¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, are your divinations urate?¡± ¡­ Dong Xi looked at the crowd of 100,000 people who were asking her all sorts of questions. Dong Xi said indifferently, ¡°Whether I give you the Vitality Reinforcement Pill or not, I need to see if you used your full strength. As for whether my divination is urate, you¡¯ll know when you win.¡± These words were extremely arrogant. Body cultivators were hot-blooded people. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, their fighting spirit was ignited. As soon as the door of the cultivation ground opened, everyone immediately walked in. Dong Xi also saw a few familiar people in the crowd. It was Baki and the others. Fortunately, Dong Xi had changed her appearance and body shape, so he should not be able to recognize her. However¡­ She could not use the leg technique he learned from Baki for the time being. Dong Xi chose a person and started sparring. After she chose a few opponents, everyone realized that Dong Xi¡¯s opponents were almost all at the thirdyer of body refining tier and above. Chapter 371 - 371 Not Everyone Can Do It 371 Not Everyone Can Do It Everyone realized this problem. It seemed that not everyone could be her opponent. Thank you readers! When it was afternoon, Dong Xi finally lost a match. Everyone immediately cheered. Dong Xi was also exceptionally happy. It would be meaningless if she kept winning. What Dong Xi wanted was to break through her own limits, not to win. Dong Xi stood up from the ground and rubbed her bruised face. She said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you won. What do you want?¡± The body cultivator was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he scratched his head and said, ¡°I¡­ There¡¯s nothing to calcte. I just want to earn a top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill¡­¡± Dong Xi smiled when she heard this. She took out two Vitality Reinforcement Pills and handed them to the body cultivator. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else you want to calcte, then I¡¯ll give you these two Vitality Reinforcement Pills,¡± said Dong Xi. The cultivator looked at the pills in his hand and immediately smiled happily. For body cultivators, the Vitality Reinforcement Pill was even better than the Spirit Restore Pill. Needless to say, this were top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pills! The cultivator¡¯s eyes lit up. He looked at Dong Xi like a big ck bear. The cultivator said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, I¡­ Can I continue topete with you?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t ask for more!¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯lle back tomorrow,¡± the cultivator said excitedly. Dong Xi had been fighting from morning to night. When she was tired, she would eat a Vitality Reinforcement Pill and a Spirit-Nourishing Pill to recover. This kind of arm surprised everyone. Which family¡¯s Young Master was this? Doesn¡¯t he feel heartache eating medicinal pills like this? However, whoever had such a Young Master would have a sessor in the future. For a moment, everyone was fearless and confused. It was really not a good feeling to meet such a rich and hardworking person. Baki and the other brothers squatted at the side, watching the two peoplepeting. ¡°Have you all reached the foundation level of body tempering?¡± asked Baki. The few of them said. ¡°I¡¯m on the second level.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± After Baki heard this, he pped Old Fifth on the head. Baki said, ¡°Look at you. You¡¯re not even at the third level of Body Refining Tier. You¡¯ve seen it for yourself. There are many people at the third level of Body Refining Tier and above in the entire Qinan City. We can¡¯t cultivate spells, and neither can we cultivate bodies. What path do we have in the future?¡± Old Fifth lowered his head and rubbed his head pitifully. He wanted to say something, but he felt that Baki was right. Baki sighed and said, ¡°Wait a moment. I¡¯ll go and try. A top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill can be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones. It¡¯s a free trade. As for you guys, cultivate well here for me. In the future, you¡¯ll have less to eat and drink. Except for some money to drink Green Bamboo Wine, the rest wille to the cultivation field.¡± The few of them looked at the burly men around them and knew that they were at the bottom. They all kept their mouths shut and had nothing to say. Dong Xi just finished a fight and saw Baki wanting toe over. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi let Baki go onstage. Baki rubbed his hands and walked forward excitedly. Baki said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, please guide me.¡± This was the first time Dong Xi had fought against Baki. However, because she was already familiar with Baki¡¯s leg techniques, she was able to dodge each of Baki¡¯s attacks skillfully. Baki was silent for a few times in a row, and his expression became serious. Baki knew that he was not very powerful, but he could not be so useless, right? Under five times the gravity, both of their movements were rtively slow, but the other party could easily dodge. Baki began to doubt his life. At the same time, he gave up on leg techniques and began to focus on fist techniques. Baki¡¯s attack was simr to Dong Xi¡¯s. They both believed that offense was the best defense and gave up all defense. Every time they attacked, their fists would hit the flesh. The two of them fought back and forth. After a round, Baki copsed on the ground. His entire body was in extreme pain, and even his nose hurt when he breathed. However, Baki was very satisfied. Even his bones felt great. Baki smiled at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Dong Xi was very surprised by Baki¡¯s outstretched hand. She also admired Baki¡¯s fighting style. If she had known earlier that Baki would y like this, Dong Xi would have thought of a way to spar with Baki. Dong Xi knew that Baki¡¯s injuries were not light, but she still only gave him a top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill. He could either consume it to heal his injuries, or if he was reluctant to consume it, he could go back to recuperate. The rules could not be changed. If they were changed, it would be difficult to exin to the others. Even so, Baki was still very satisfied. Baki held the Vitality Reinforcement Pill and smiled happily like a child. ¡°Thank you, Fellow Daoist,¡± Baki said. ¡°I¡¯ve learned a lot today. I look forward to sparring with you again in the future.¡± Baki took the pill and left. Dong Xi also ate one. Then, she chose her next opponent and continued thepetition. Chapter 372 - 372 Sparring and Breaking Through 372 Sparring and Breaking Through Dong Xi had thought that the sparring session with Baki was just a small interlude. She did not expect that there would be even more peopleing the next day. When asked about the reason, it turned out that Baki and Dong Xi had broken through during their sparring session and had actually reached the fourth level of Body Refining Tier! It was said that when a person was beaten up, it was possible to break through the limit. Dong Xi did not expect Baki to be so lucky. Because of this, more and more body cultivators came here every day. Even if they were cultivating, they had to be close to each other. Seeing this situation, Dong Xi felt that this could not go on, as no one could cultivate properly. Dong Xi decided to find the owner of this cultivation ground and have a good talk. Dong Xi saw that the owner of the cultivation ground was a middle-aged man in his thirties. This person had a pale face and no beard, so it was impossible to tell what cultivation level he had. However, judging from his figure, he was also a self-cultivator. The Boss¡¯s face was glowing. Dong Xi knew that the Boss was in a good mood because of the good news. In the past few days, the Boss had made a lot of money just from the tickets. The Boss was very friendly when he saw Dong Xi. After all, who would not like such a VIP? ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re very capable,¡± the Boss cupped his fists and said. ¡°Thank you for your praise, Fellow Daoist.¡± Dong Xi cupped her fists and said, ¡°I¡¯m Dong Li. May I know how I should address you?¡± ¡°San Yin,¡± said the Boss. Dong Xi said, ¡°Fellow Daoist San Yin, I¡¯ll cut to the chase. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve seen it for yourself these past few days. I¡¯ve been sparring with people in the cultivation hall. More and more people areing¡­¡± San Yin was a businessman. Once Dong Xi said it, San Yin immediately understood. San Yin was also worried that such a cash cow would go somewhere else. San Yin immediately said, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you that so many people havee over these past few days. From today onwards, 30 percent of my profits will go to you.¡± In any case, she did not need to do anything and could get 30 percent of the profits. This San Yin was really willing to spend a lot of money. Dong Xi liked to talk to such a straightforward person. Dong Xi said, ¡°Since Fellow Daoist is in so much pain, I¡¯ll be straightforward.¡± ¡°What else do you need, let me know?¡± San Yin asked. Even though he said this, San Yin was still a little depressed. Could it be that 30 percent of the profits was not enough? ¡°Fellow Daoist, I think you¡¯ve also realized that the cultivation ground is a little small, right?¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment and said. ¡°That¡¯s right. There are too many people. There¡¯s no ce to spar on the second floor,¡± said San Yin. ¡°Fellow Daoist, do you n to expand?¡± asked Dong Xi with a smile. San Yin turned his head and sighed. He said awkwardly, ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t want to expand? However, every inch ofnd in Qinan City is extremely expensive. Most of thend is in the hands of the nobles. It¡¯s already very difficult for me to get such arge area, so expanding is even more difficult.¡± Dong Xi was still smiling. Looking at the somewhat worried San Yin, Dong Xi said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, if I can provide thend, how about we split the profits 50-50 in the future?¡± San Yin¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Dong Xi and said in surprise, ¡°Are you serious, Fellow Daoist?¡± During the sparring session, this Fellow Daoist was already very generous and also very capable. San Yin guessed that he should be the Young Master of some family. Looking at it now, it was indeed so. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need to waste our energy with lies. Fellow Daoist, are you willing?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± San Yin nodded. San Yin had already thought it through. No matter how muchnd the other party took out, he could at least use it as a backer in Qinan City. He could take out an additional 20 percent of the profits in exchange for a powerful ally. This was a huge profit. However, Dong Xi gave San Yin an even bigger surprise. On the second day, Dong Xi asked Xiao Han toe over to discuss with San Yin. It was a contract written in ck and white. Both parties would be bound by the Heavenly Dao once they dripped their blood essence. Xiao Han invested in the shop next door that she got from Zhao Shurou. San Yin saw such a big empty space and hated to lose it, so he took over the renovation and restrictions. After Dong Xi found out, she was very satisfied and said two more gimmicks that could be done. For example, the title of Qinan City¡¯s number one body cultivator, or the group arena. There would be rewards after winning consecutively. At that time, everyone woulde here to support them for these gimmicks. Being in the limelight was a human instinct, especially for body cultivators. After being reminded by Dong Xi, San Yin seemed to have been enlightened. He even came up with some expert lectures and peer exchanges. The most amazing thing was that San Yin established the first Body Cultivator Alliance in the cultivation world here. San Yin said, ¡°All of you are body cultivators. We are the most bitter and tired people in the cultivation world, but we don¡¯t have the status we deserve. In the future, we will advance and retreat together. When we go out and meet body cultivators in trouble, we will help them if we can.¡± Dong Xi looked at San Yin, who was speaking passionately, and was full of admiration. Such a person was born to be a businessman. Chapter 373 - 373 Body Cultivator Alliance 373 Body Cultivator Alliance What was worth mentioning was that Dong Xi was the first member of this Body Cultivator Alliance. Dong Xi left the training field, hands behind her back, and walked slowly towards the Rainbow Store. At this moment, a familiar figure stood in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face. This guy had finally crawled out? Zhi Lang walked through the familiar street, but the days of being surrounded were gone. !! The guards who had gone with him to collect the blood had already entered the cycle of reincarnation. Only Zhi Lang was trapped on the ground, trying to survive. Zhao Shurou did note to Zhi Lang¡¯s rescue. Because the soil was loose, Zhi Lang did not dare to use brute force. If he used too much force, the soil might copse and bury him underground. He could only use the knife to dig the tunnel bit by bit. When Zhi Lang came out and looked at the wooden token on the ground, he was even angrier. Zhi Lang had to find this little girl and throw her into the Deep Sea Flood Dragon¡¯s stomach. He had to find Zhao Shurou and ask her why she did not save him. With Zhao Shurou¡¯s ability, as long as she went, how could she not notice? Zhi Lang was filled with anger as he walked towards the Zhao Manor. However, he did not know that the little girl he hated the most was just in front of him. Dong Xi crossed her arms, looking like she was waiting to watch a show. Dong Xi also wanted to know how Zhi Lang would react after knowing that Zhao Shurou was injured and escaped. Dong Xi followed him all the way to the Zhao Mansion. The Zhao Manor was already empty. The que outside the door had been changed to the name of the Liu Manor. Zhi Lang walked in and was immediately stopped by the guard. ¡°Where did Madam Zhao go?¡± asked Zhi Lang in confusion. ¡°She ran away!¡± the guard said disdainfully. Zhi Lang did not know what was going on. How long had it been? How could there be such a huge change? Zhao Shurou was at the Soul Formation stage, how could she run away? She did not even want the family business that she had painstakingly built up? Before Zhi Lang could understand, a group of people chased after him. Zhi Lang turned around and looked at everyone. His expression was very ugly. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t do anything rash. Qinan City forbids fighting in private.¡± That person said, ¡°Heh¡­ Who¡¯s fighting with you? Are you worthy?¡± Zhi Lang wanted to escape, but he realized that someone had thrown out an array disk. The spiritual Qi on Zhi Lang¡¯s body began to go out of control. Zhi Lang quickly retreated and saw a little bald head not far away. Originally, cultivators did not want to offend Buddhist cultivators, but he could not care less now. Zhi Lang wanted to control the small monk and open a path for himself. Qinan City forbade fighting, but as long as themotion was not too big, it was fine. If someone died¡­The guards of Qinan City would definitely interfere. All his thoughts were wonderful. Just as Zhi Lang was about to approach the little bald head, the little monk used his movement technique to quickly dodge. Zhi Lang was stunned. He felt that this movement technique was a little familiar. At this moment, a mockingugh entered Zhi Lang¡¯s ears, and Zhi Lang¡¯s expression instantly changed. ¡°Why?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°You don¡¯t take it seriously after suffering a loss?¡± ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Zhi Lang¡¯s facial features were distorted as he said. When Zhi Lang wanted to attack again, Dong Xi¡¯s figure had already retreated a hundred feet. Dong Xi stuck two Speed Talismans on herself again and used Earth Shrinking to escape. Zhi Lang wanted to give chase, but how could his enemies let Zhi Lang leave like this? Dong Xi ran away. However, she did not want to miss the drama. She immediately took out the jade slip and began to check the information on it. She even specially sent a message to ask. [Are there any Fellow Daoists from Qinan City? Did Zhi Lang run away?] This question instantly attracted many replies. [Who is Zhi Lang? What happened?] [Fellow Daoist Qinan City is here. I heard that Zhi Lang relied on Zhao Shurou and ran to zing City.] [Really? Maybe I can get a reward.] [Fellow Daoist above, no matter how bad Zhao Shurou is, she¡¯s still at the Soul Formation stage.] ¡­ Dong Xi continued to flip through and read a lot of gossip. ¡°Zhao Shurou needs to rely on blood to cultivate, so she can¡¯t kill cultivators. In order not to be discovered, she can only do it in a forest. Therefore, I¡¯m guessing that Zhao Shurou may be in zing City. Of course, it¡¯s also possible that she¡¯s in the forest in Qinan City and hasn¡¯t left at all. ¡± ¡°I know about Zhi Lang. He¡¯s been arrested by Qinan City. It¡¯s said that he was disturbing the peace.¡± [How was he punished?] [It¡¯s very simple for you. Wait for the next beast tide and go to the front line.] When Dong Xi saw this, she could not help but click her tongue. There were often beast tides in Qinan City. Usually, everyone would stay inside the protective barrier to resist the enemy, but someone had to go outside to stop the endless attacks of the demon beasts. Normally, the guards would be at the front. Of course, the benefits of the guards were also huge. Not to mention the high sry given by the City Lord, just the resources obtained from the demon beasts could also make a lot of money. If one did not have enough strength, one might not be able to survive outside the protective shield. Chapter 374 - 374 Trash 374 Trash Especially a trash like Zhi Lang. His cultivation relied on medicinal pills, so he could not survive. Dong Xi looked at the information on the jade slip and clicked her tongue. She did not know what Zhao Shurou had done to let down the City Lord. Suddenly, an idea came to Dong Xi¡¯s mind, and her eyes instantly widened. It would not be¡­ Zhao Shurou dared to flirt with the City Lord? Dong Xi did not know that this time, she had guessed correctly. In the past few days, Dong Xi had nothing to do. As usual, she threw arge number of spirit stones into the incubation bag. Dong Xi looked at the money that was dwindling day by day and felt extreme heartache. However, this time, Dong Xi felt that the demon beast egg seemed to move. Dong Xi rubbed her eyes and looked over again. She was sure that her eyes were not ying tricks on her and that the egg had really moved. Dong Xi was very excited. Shey on the table and stared at it intently. She thought about all the demon beasts that were born from eggs and became even more excited. Was this the happiness of a blind egg? Finally, the demon beast inside the egg began to peck at the shell. Dong Xi looked at the mouth that was exposed first. She already had a small confirmation in her heart that this was the bird n. What kind of bird could it be? So many spirit stones were needed to break out of the shell? The eggshell was pecked off, and the little guy inside poked its head out of the eggshell. Dong Xi looked at the featherless bird, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times. What was this? What bird could be balder than the current Dong Xi? It can¡¯t be an ostrich, right? Dong Xi reacted and shook her head. Impossible. How could there be an ostrich in the cultivation world? Dong Xi tried to summon Su Cheng, but Su Cheng ignored her. Instead, it was the little bird that opened its eyes and saw Dong Xi¡¯s bald head. It became excited. The little bird immediately stumbled towards Dong Xi. Dong Xi rubbed her head. Oh no, this ugly bird could not have mistaken her for its mother, right? The ugly bird twisted and fell, making a sound. However, it still stood up and walked toward Dong Xi with determination. When it reached Dong Xi¡¯s side, it ced its head in Dong Xi¡¯s hand, revealing his butt. The more Dong Xi looked, the more shocked she became. Damn it, why was he bing more and more like an ostrich? No way! Dong Xi scratched her head with her empty hand. She had spent so many Spirit stones. Even if it was not a Deep Sea Flood Dragon, it had to be a powerful demonic beast, right? Why was it just an ugly bird? However, the warmth in her hand made Dong Xi feel that this little fellow was indeed alive. Dong Xi sighed softly and epted her fate. Forget it. Dong Xi had spent so many spirit stones to feed the child. The child was ugly, so he could not me anyone else. He could only me Second Senior Brother. After all, he had been chosen by Second Senior Brother. The little fellow had just been born and needed to be fed. Dong Xi thought for a moment and took out the grass seed to feed the little fellow. The little fellow smelled it and avoided it in disgust. Dong Xi took a look. Heh¡­ How dare you be picky? Not even eating grass seeds? Dong Xi touched the bottom of her hand and pondered for a moment. She took out a piece of demon beast meat and found that it was not toote. Dong Xi started to worry. It was not toote to eat. What did she want to eat? Dong Xi tried to take out the spirit herbs in his collection and test them one by one. Then, Dong Xi¡¯s heart began to bleed. What kind of bird was this, only eating spirit herbs of third-grade and above? Raising such a bird, Dong Xi would probably die of poverty for the rest of her life. The expenses were already so high before it was born. Now that it was born, why did the expenses be even higher? Fortunately, it was still young. One spirit nt was enough for the little guy to eat for a few days. Dong Xi sighed softly. She looked at the little fellow in her hand. After eating the spirit herbs, it began to sleep. Dong Xi then ced it back into the Demon Beast Bag. Seeing that it was gettingte, Dong Xi stepped on the railing and went directly to the roof to meditate. When the moon set, purple clouds appeared in the sky. Dong Xi tried tomunicate with the purple clouds with her spiritual energy. However, as soon as she touched it, Dong Xi felt a strong suction force, as if it was about to absorb all the spiritual energy in her Dantian. Dong Xi jumped and quickly withdrew her spiritual energy. She did not expect that some of the purple Qi in the sky would actually be brought down. Dong Xi immediately sat down and absorbed the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in her body circted 49 times before she slowly opened her eyes. Dong Xi¡¯s face was filled with joy. She could feel that he was just a step away from Foundation Establishment stage. Her Dantian was filled with spiritual energy, and his meridians had been thoroughly tempered. She could break through at any time. It was also time to return to the sect. During this period of time, Dong Xi also sessfully reached the fifth level of Body Refining Tier after sparring with those body cultivators. The current Dong Xi¡¯s body was as strong as a 10th level Qi Refinement cultivator. However, Dong Xi was still thinking about that little clown bird. She wondered how this little fellow was doing. Did it wake up? Chapter 375 - 375 How Did It Come Out? 375 How Did It Come Out? Just as Dong Xi was about to open the Demon Beast Bag and take out the little fellow, she discovered that the Demon Beast Bag was empty. The little fellow was obediently sleeping on Dong Xi¡¯sp. Dong Xi was stunned. How did ite out? Dong Xi had just moved when the little fellow woke up. She stared at the bird, and four pupils stared back at her. That¡¯s right, four pupils. Dong Xi also realized that the little fellow had four pupils. Dong Xi still could not figure out what kind of demon beast this little fellow was. There was no such a type of demon beast in the ¡®Encyclopedia of Demon Beasts in the Cultivation World¡¯ that she had read before. Dong Xi pondered for a long time, but she could not think of anything. In the end, she decided to ask her two Masters when she returned. Her Masters were old and had seen many things. They would definitely know. Dong Xi picked up the little fellow and put it into the Demon Beast Bag. Just as Dong Xi stood up, he found the little fellow running out again. Dong Xi frowned and tried again. This time, Dong Xi saw with her own eyes that the restrictive spell that was about to be put on it was loosened, and the little fellow easily ran out. Dong Xi was a little stunned. Was this another one who ignored restrictions? If the Demon Beast Bag could not trap the little fellow, Dong Xi would have to spend a lot of effort to discipline it in the future. Dong Xi thought of this. At such a young age, she actually knew the ¡®joy¡¯ of raising a child in advance. Dong Xi could only put the little guy on her shoulder and jump down. At this time, the Rainbow Store was already bustling with activity. Dong Xi called Xiao Han over and told her that she was leaving. Xiao Han was a little reluctant to part with her. After thinking for a moment, she gave a storage jade bracelet to Dong Xi. Xiao Han said, ¡°Second Boss, Big Boss said that these are all for you. During this period of time, you have opened up the situation in Qinan City. Our Raimbow Store has benefited a lot. Big Boss specially prepared these for you. Big Boss said¡­ When the girl goes out, she needs some items with her.¡± As Xiao Han spoke, she winked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi rubbed her nose awkwardly. She coughed lightly and said, ¡°It¡¯s not that I deliberately hid my identity. I have enemies, so I can only hide my identity.¡± ¡­ ¡°What?¡± Dong Xi asked in shock. ¡°800 low-grade spirit stones to Fotai City? This is robbery!¡± One of them sat on a chair and said, ¡°You can run back by yourself! Why don¡¯t you take a look at how far it is? You think 800 is too expensive?¡± There was no teleportation array formation to zing City. If Dong Xi wanted to go back, she could only go to Fotai City. Fotai City was quite far from here, but it only cost 200 low-grade spirit stones at most. This person was obviously charging more. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll walk there myself!¡± Dong Xi frowned and said. Dong Xi had just taken a step when that person spat at the ce where Dong Xi had been standing. That person said arrogantly, ¡°You poor girl, you have no spirit stones!¡± Dong Xi clenched her fists tightly and chose to endure it in the end. She could not be impulsive. Dong Xi had to figure out the situation first. Dong Xi asked around, and through Xiao Han, she also obtained some internal news of Qinan City. In the end, she found out that this teleportation array was originally managed by Zhao Shurou, and the profits were also Zhao Shurou¡¯s. Now that Zhao Shurou had run away, the Liu Family had taken over the teleportation array. The Liu family was even more ck-hearted. They destroyed all the other teleportation arrays, leaving only this one that could be used. If they wanted to leave, they would charge 800 spirit stones! Dong Xi sent a voice message to Xiao Han. Dong Xi said, ¡°Can it be fixed?¡± ¡°Theoretically, it can be repaired,¡± Xiao Han replied honestly. ¡°We are businessmen. We don¡¯t have the skills to repair it.¡± No skills to repair it? Dong Xi immediately thought of Kong Xing. He wondered if Senior Brother Kong Xing could fix it. Even if he could not , he might know some expert who could fix it. Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a voice message to Kong Xing. She said, ¡°Is Senior Brother here?¡± Kong Xing quickly replied, ¡°I¡¯m here! Junior Sister has another way to earn money?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately smiled and said, ¡°There is indeed. Let¡¯s see if Senior Brother can ept it.¡± ¡°Tell me about it?¡± Kong Xing asked. ¡°Qinan City¡¯s teleportation formation has been destroyed. Senior Brother, can you repair it?¡± asked Dong Xi. This time, Kong Xing did not reply immediately. Dong Xi looked at the jade slip and sighed silently. Sure enough, good luck would not always apany her. Even Senior Brother Kong Xing could not repair a long-distance teleportation array. Just as Dong Xi was about to put away themunication jade slip, a message came from the other side. Dong Xi immediately perked up and quickly opened it to take a look. Then, a smiling face appeared. It was a message from Kong Xing. [Junior Sister, are you in Qinan City? I¡¯ll bring Senior Brother over.] Dong Xi immediately replied. [Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you here!] Chapter 376 - 376 Stealing Spirit Stones 376 Stealing Spirit Stones The little thing started pecking at the spirit stone. In just a moment, it had eaten one-third of the spirit stone. With the help of the magic ball¡¯s light, Kong Xing and Kong Yang could clearly see the little thing that was stealing spirit stones to eat them. ¡°What kind of bird is this?¡± Kong Xing asked. ¡°Where did ite from?¡± Only then did Dong Xi react. She immediately picked up the Clown Bird and said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother, this is mine. It just hatched and doesn¡¯t know anything. Don¡¯t lower yourself to its level.¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she took out a spirit stone and handed it to Kong Yang. ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯llpensate you with these spirit stones,¡± said Dong Xi. Kong Yang did not take the spirit stone. Kong Yang said, ¡°Junior Sister, wait a moment. I¡¯ll copy these runes first, then we¡¯ll go and take a look at the others.¡± Dong Xi nodded. The three of them copied down a few teleportation fformations and then pieced them together. Dong Xi instantly knew what these two wanted to do. The four teleportation formations were all exactly the same. The Liu family had upied one and destroyed three, but the locations of the destroyed teleportation formations were not the same. Byparing the locations of the destroyed teleportation formations, they would be able to make up for it. Dong Xi had a rough idea of how to fix it, but she did not know how to do it. The operation of the array required spiritual energy, and it was important for the operation to be smooth. It was originally destroyed. Even if it was repaired, the cirction of spiritual energy would still be blocked. Even if it was repaired, it still could not be used normally. Dong Xi looked at the two of them curiously. Kong Xing took out a piece of paper and drew aplete formation on it. Then, the two of them stood up. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, can it be repaired?¡± Kong Yang shook his head and said, ¡°No, even if there is a perfect repair medium, it won¡¯t be able tost very long. In the end, it will still break. This array is used by everyone who travels to Qinan City. It¡¯s not a one-time use. This one won¡¯t be able to withstand the wear and tear.¡± Dong Xi knew that Kong Yang was right, and her heart turned cold. Kong Yang continued, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We¡¯ll just draw another one.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s disappointed expression instantly disappeared. She said, ¡°Senior Brother is so awesome. You can just draw another one.¡± When Kong Yang saw Dong Xi¡¯s look of admiration, he immediately felt a little embarrassed. Kong Yang said, ¡°I might not seed. Let¡¯s try first.¡± Kong Yang took out a carving knife and drew a small version of the teleportation array beside it. Golden spiritual energy gathered at the tip of the knife. As Kong Yang finished drawing the final rune, the array emitted a bright light. Then, it returned to normal. The smooth lines drew a mysterious pattern. It was these patterns that supported everyone¡¯s teleportation. ¡°Senior Brother, you seeded just like that?¡± asked Dong Xi. Dong Xi had some good eyesight. The formation needed to be drawn in one go. Senior Kong Yang did not even need to eat the Spirit Restore Pill to draw a miniature version of the teleportation array formation. From this, it could be seen that Senior Kong Yang¡¯s cultivation was very high. ¡°Almost. We¡¯re just missing thest step.¡± Kong Yang nodded. ¡°Which step?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°The teleportation formation here needs to establish contact with Fotai City, so we must know the coordinates. Otherwise, they won¡¯t be able to connect it¡­¡± Kong Yang said. As Dong Xi listened to Senior Brother Kong Yang, she suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°Senior Brother, can this formation teleport us to zing City?¡± If it was possible, it would be much more convenient toe over in the future. ¡°Yes, we must know the coordinates of zing Formation,¡± said Kong Yang. Kong Xing smiled and said, ¡°Senior Brother, you go to Fotai City. I¡¯ll go to zing City. On my way back, I¡¯ll also go to Hongwu City. With the teleportation array, it¡¯ll be more convenient for us Buddhist cultivators to train.¡± Kong Yang thought that she was right and agreed. Dong Xi watched from the side as Kong Xing and Kong Yang made their decision. Dong Xi knew that she had found the right people. Kong Xing smiled as he looked at Dong Xi. Kong Xing said, ¡°Junior Sister, since you can redraw it, you don¡¯t have to spend a lot of money to buy this old one.¡± Hmm? Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. That¡¯s right, she had almost forgotten that she could save a lot of spirit stones by not buying these old formations. ¡°We¡¯re just helping to draw the formation,¡± Kong Xing continued. ¡°As for how to operate it, I¡¯ll need Junior Sister to think of a way.¡± ¡°Alright, I can do that,¡± Dong Xi immediately patted her chest and said. The next day, the three of them split up. Two went to find the coordinates, and one went to find the people. Five dayster, the sound of firecrackers rang out in Qinan City. The passersby all looked over. What good news was this? A middle-aged woman shouted, ¡°The teleportation array formations that connect Fotai City, zing City, and Hongwu City has beenpleted. One way only costs 188 low-grade spirit stones!¡± When everyone heard this, they immediately became serious. Was it really only 188 low-grade spirit stones? What happened to the Liu family? Why did they suddenly be so kind? Chapter 377 - 377 Ecstatic 377 Ecstatic Many cultivators rushed over to join in the fun. In the end, they found out that the owner of these three array formations was not the Liu family at all. Everyone was ecstatic and began to discuss. ¡°Finally, someone who dares to go against the Liu family.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The 800 low-grade spirit stones is half the price of what the Liu family charges.¡± ¡°At that time, I thought that I woulde here to catch demon beasts to earn some spirit stones. In the past two months, I couldn¡¯t even earn any money because of the travel expenses.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi watched from afar as everyone walked into the teleportation array with spirit stones. She was very satisfied. With so many people, how many spirit stones would he get? She had made a killing. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were bright, but a scream came from behind her. Dong Xi turned her head and saw more than ten men walking over with magic tools. Dong Xi¡¯s expression instantly turned serious. As expected¡­The Liu family would not let this go so easily. Dong Xi crushed the jade slip in her hand. The people of the Rainbow Store also gathered. Just as they were about to make their move, a familiar voice came from the sky. ¡°Little Xi.¡± Dong Xi was a little nervous at first, but when she heard this voice, she was stunned. Then, she looked up. She saw her Master standing in the air with a Buddha shawl on his arm, smiling at Dong Xi. Dong Xi immediately turned into a pitiful child, looking at her Master with tears in her eyes. ¡°Master!¡± Dong Xi bowed and said. Dong Xi did not expect that her Master would personallye to pick her up. Seeing that her parents hade, Dong Xi felt much more confident. When Master Lingxunded, Dong Xi bowed obediently and said, ¡°Master, why did youe to pick me up?¡± Master Lingxu looked at Dong Xi¡¯s teary appearance and was unmoved. He snorted softly. ¡°Some people are so happy that they don¡¯t even think about home. Some people even refused to go back when her Senior Brother came to pick her up. She even asked me, an old man, toe personally. Now, you¡¯re ming me?¡± Dong Xi chuckled and immediately went forward to massage his back. Dong Xi said fawningly, ¡°Master, I just happened to have an opportunity to train. I was just about to go back, but I was stopped by the high teleportation fee.¡± In this way, the Liu Family Head had toe. Otherwise, with so few people, they would not even be able to withstand a palm strike from a Soul Formation cultivator. ¡°Retreat,¡± said the group leader from the Liu family. Dong Xi saw that the Liu family members had all run away, and her worried heart also rxed. Dong Xi let go of her Master¡¯s sleeve and secretly looked at the retreating Liu family. Lingxu said, ¡°What, you still want to chase after them?¡± ¡°No!¡± Dong Xi immediately shook her head and said. Daoist Lingxu looked at Dong Xi¡¯s head, then at Kong Xing and Kong Yang. Lingxu said, ¡°Very good¡­¡± As soon as Daoist Master Lingxu said it, Dong Xi immediately knew that her Master had misunderstood. Dong Xi hurriedly said, ¡°Master, I didn¡¯t enter the Buddhist sect. I identally ruined my hair while cultivating. As for these two Buddhist Senior Brothers, I invited them to help.¡± When Linxu heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, his expression became much better. He said, ¡°Hmph, at least you still have some conscience.¡± Dong Xi chuckled and Lingxu continued, ¡°Recently, the world outside has not been good. Your cultivation is at the 9th level of Qi Refinement¡­¡± Halfway through his sentence, Lingxu eyes suddenly widened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your cultivation?¡± Lingxu asked in shock. After pausing for a while, Lingxu raised his hand to set up a shield around himself and Dong Xi. He said seriously, ¡°Little Xi, tell me the truth. Did you have some fortuitous encounters this time? Or did you take a shortcut? How did your cultivation increase so quickly?¡± The others only saw Lingxu¡¯s serious expression and his lips moving. ¡°It¡¯s a long story,¡± Dong Xi sighed. Master Lingxu nced at Dong Xi and said indifferently, ¡°Then tell me slowly.¡± Dong Xi looked at her Master¡¯s appearance and knew that it was impossible to muddle through. ¡°Not long ago, I broke through once in the Beast Trainer Sect. Then, when I was cultivating in Qinan City, I absorbed the purple Qi in the morning and broke through again. I directly reached the perfected Qi Refinement stage.¡± As for how she broke through in the Beast Trainer Sect, Dong Xi did not borate. She did not know what happened when she crossed three cultivation realms in a row. After hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Master Lingxu naturally thought that the increase in cultivation was rted to that purple Qi. ¡°You can go and absorb the purple Qi?¡± asked Master Lingxu. ¡°My cultivation is still shallow.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°The spiritual Qi in my Dantian is easily devoured by the purple Qi. I can only take advantage of it asionally.¡± Chapter 378 - 378 Grounded 378 Grounded Master Lingxu has cultivated for so many years and has also encountered people who canprehend purple Qi. However, this is the first time he has heard of someone who can absorb purple Qi. Even the legendary Innate Moon Spirit Body had no record of absorbing purple Qi. ¡°Your cultivation is growing very fast now, but it¡¯s still not enough in the cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak. Follow me back. Don¡¯t even think about leaving the Ningtian Sect before you reached the Foundation Establishment stage,¡± said Lingxu. Dong Xi was silent. Was she grounded? When she looked at her Master again, her gaze became stranger. Master Lingxu rolled his eyes at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Why? Do you have any objections?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll listen to Master¡¯s arrangements.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. Dong Xi handed over the task of re-carving the formation to Xiao Han. As for how to split the profits between Kong Xing and Kong Yang, there was no one more professional than Xiao Han. Master Lingxu casually threw out a flying magic tool. Dong Xi reluctantly bid farewell to everyone and followed her Master onto the magic tool. ¡°Master¡­¡± Dong Xi whispered. Master Lingxu nced at Dong Xi and said, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s just¡­¡± Dong Xi hesitated. ¡°Just say what you want to say,¡± said Lingxu. Dong Xi coughed lightly and said vaguely, ¡°Disciple discovered a flood dragon¡­¡± Dong Xi spoke very quickly. Master Lingxu frowned and said, ¡°Speak properly.¡± ¡°Master, I found a Deep Sea Flood Dragon in a deep pool in the forest,¡± said Dong Xi seriously. When Master Lingxu heard this, he nodded and said, ¡°Very good.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± That¡¯s it? Could it be that her Master did not have the urge to catch the Deep Sea Flood Dragon? Master Lingxu turned around and happened to see Dong Xi¡¯s expression. How could he not know what Dong Xi was thinking? Master Lingxu raised his hand and knocked on Dong Xi¡¯s forehead. Master Lingxu said, ¡°If you want to catch it, then work hard and catch it yourself. Even if I help you catch the Deep Sea Flood Dragon, do you think the Deep Sea Dragon will submit to you?¡± Dong Xi shook her head. She still had some self-awareness. Master Lingxu injected spiritual energy into the magic tool, and the magic tool slowly rose up. Then, it quickly disappeared from everyone¡¯s eyes. Dong Xi had just sat down when a small head popped out from the Demon Beast Bag at her waist. Dong Xi knew that the Demon Beast Bag could not contain the beast at all, so she directly took it out and ced it in her hand. It had only been six days since this little fellow hatched, and it was not as ugly as before. Some light golden fur grew out of its body, and it no longer looked like an ostrich. Instead, it looked like a chick that had just hatched. It had to be said that her current appearance was very cute. Dong Xi reached out to helpb the chick¡¯s fur. Daoist Master Lingxu also looked at the chick. ¡°Why are you raising another demon beast?¡± asked Daoist Master Lingxu. ¡°If I remember correctly, wasn¡¯t there still a squirrel and willow tree in the cave abode? Disciple, your talent is outstanding. You must not be too distracted¡­¡± Dong Xi hugged the chick and said, ¡°Master, Second Senior Brother promised me that if I can enter the top 100 in thepetition, he will give me a mount. Second Senior Brother gave me a demon beast egg. This is what it hatched from.¡± Master Lingxu looked at Dong Xi¡¯s indescribable expression and said, ¡°Little Xi, I see that you are usually very clever. Why are you being fooled by your Second Senior Brother now? Did he call this a mount? How can a little chick carry you?¡± The little chick seemed to understand what Master Lingxu said. It stuck its head out from the gap between Dong Xi¡¯s hands and stared at Master Lingxu. When Master Lingxu saw little chick¡¯s eyes, his expression instantly became serious. Dong Xi lowered her head and hesitated for a long time. Then, she said, ¡°Master is right. This little guy has a big appetite and eats all the good things. It will eat until I copse sooner orter. Since you said that I can¡¯t be distracted, I will raise the little guy a little and set it free.¡± Dong Xi felt a sharp pain in his finger as soon as he finished speaking. Dong Xi lowered her head and saw a ball of bright red blood on her fair fingertip. The edges of the chick¡¯s beak were also a little red. The little chick was the culprit. ¡°There¡¯s no need to set it free. It¡¯s not bad to raise it,¡± said Lingxu. The change in attitude was so fast that Dong Xi was stunned. After regaining his senses, Dong Xi picked up the chick¡¯s leg and lifted it upside down. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Master, this little thing has only hatched for less than two days and already has a fierce nature. Now that it¡¯s a little bigger, it dares to peck my finger. If it¡¯s a little bigger, won¡¯t it eat people?¡± Master Lingxu said seriously, ¡°Little Xi, because this little fellow has a fierce nature, you have to raise it and slowly convert it to change it! ¡° Chapter 379 - 379 Enlightened 379 Enlightened Dong Xi looked at her Master with a dumbfounded expression. She opened her mouth and said hesitantly, ¡°Master, what you said just now¡­ You sound like an enlightened Buddhist monk!¡± Daoist Lingxu was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. Daoist Lingxu said,¡± Hurry up and grow your hair out!¡± Dong Xi touched the hair on her head. When she saw her Master¡¯s disappointed gaze, she sighed softly. She took out hair growth cream from her storage ring and wiped it on her head. Dong Xi frowned and whispered, ¡°Master, this hair growth cream is useless. The story is all a lie. Senior Brother is also lying¡­¡± !! ¡°Humph!¡± Lingxu snorted coldly. ¡°Your body, hair, and skin are all from your parents. You were so reckless. Now you¡¯re ming the hair growth cream?¡± What did Dong Xi say? Her hair had been repeatedly electrocuted, and it would take a lot of effort to grow it back. It would be easier to shave it off and grow it back. Daoist Master Lingxu did not know that his beloved disciple had actually developed a new hair growth cream because it was useless. It even had some miraculous effects. Of course, this was all in the future. Dong Xi brought the chicken in his hand to Lingxu. The man and chicken looked at each other and looked especially stupid. Lingxu patted its forehead helplessly. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, you asked me to raise it. Do you know what kind of bird this little thing is? This little thing¡­ Can it really be used as a mount?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s tone was a little doubtful while Lingxu had aplicated expression. Upon closer inspection, there was even a hint of envy on his face. ¡°It¡¯s not a problem to be a mount,¡± said Lingxu. ¡°What kind of demon beast is this?¡± asked Dong Xi. Lingxu shook his head. It was not that he did not know, but he could not say it. A demon beast of this level was the favorite of the Heavenly Dao. Unless one exposed themselves, no one could say its name. Dong Xi saw her Master like this and immediately felt troubled. Was this little fellow very rare? Even someone as knowledgeable as his Master did not know? Forget it, I¡¯ll go back to the sect and take a look at the library. The speed of a Soul Formation cultivator was very fast. Even if he brought along Dong Xi, this little girl, it would not affect him. Moreover, they had flying magic tools now, so their speed was even faster. When night fell, the full moon in the sky slowly rose, and the master and disciple slowlynded on the sect square. Dong Xi immediately sent a message to Ke Xin and Chi Yan. When Dong Xi was about to reach the cave abode, she saw that the two of them were already waiting for her in front of the cave abode. Dong Xi ran over with a smile and hugged the two of them. ¡°I¡¯m back,¡± said Dong Xi. The other two hugged Dong Xi happily as well. After the moment of happiness, Chi Yan¡¯s lips twitched and he raised his hand to stroke Dong Xi¡¯s bald head. No, it was not as smooth now. It looked more like a kiwifruit. ¡°Junior Sister, what kind of trendy outfit are you wearing?¡± Chi Yan asked. ¡°Could it be that you want to enter the Buddhist Sect at such a young age?¡± Dong Xi said with a serious face, ¡°If my hair grows, it will affect my cultivation. Although cultivators don¡¯t have to wash their hair, it will be troublesome if my hair is too long when practicing the sword.¡± Ke Xin, ¡°¡­¡± Chi Yan, ¡°¡­¡± Although they knew that Dong Xi was talking nonsense, they felt that it made sense. ¡°Hurry up and recuperate, or else Master will think that you want to betray the sect,¡± Chi Yan said. Dong Xi opened the restriction of the cave dwelling and invited the two of them to sit inside. After entering, Dong Xi found that he had fallen into a swamp, surrounded by mud with a rotten smell, and there seemed to be something Dong Xi moving below. Chi Yan and Ke Xin were shocked when they saw this scene. They immediately looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s forehead was twitching. ¡°Be careful!¡± Chi Yan shouted. Following Chi Yan¡¯s voice, the creature in the mud jumped out and pounced on Dong Xi¡¯s head. Dong Xi did not dodge, nor did she activate her protective shield. A squirrel whose fur was getting thicker and thicker, jumped onto Dong Xi¡¯s head and said, ¡°Bad Little Xi, bad Little Xi. You promised to bring Songsong along, but you didn¡¯t.¡± As Songsong jumped onto Dong Xi¡¯s head, the environment disappeared. Chi Yan and Ke Xin looked at the squirrel on Dong Xi¡¯s head and gloated. Dong Xi looked ridiculous wearing a squirrel as a hat! Although the two of them were gloating, they were not new to the cultivation world. The squirrel¡¯s environment was so realistic. Not only was it visual, but it was also very realistic to touch. Most importantly, it was the smell. The smell just now almost suffocated the two of them. With such a powerful demon beast, why didn¡¯t Dong Xi bring it with her? This was because everything Dong Xi did outside was shameful. Dong Xi distributed the local specialties that she had brought back from Qinan City. The three of them sat by the pond in the backyard and began to barbecue. After sending the two sisters away, Dong Xi sat on the praying mat. Chapter 380 - 380 Breakthrough Again? 380 Breakthrough Again? Just as Lingxu returned to his cave dwelling, he suddenly noticed a fluctuation of spiritual energying from the next door. This kind of fluctuation of spiritual energy was not something that he cared about, but it did not seem to be something that could be caused by a Qi Refinement cultivator. Daoist Master Lingxu spread out his divine sense. When he saw everything next door, he was instantly stunned on the spot. Dong Xi had broken through again? Daoist Master Lingxu was shocked. It was as if a great war had urred in the Central ins. Dong Xi had just returned to the sect and had broken through? She had not eaten the Foundation Establishment Pill and had not made any preparations. How could she break through so easily? Master Lingxu came back to his senses and his figure began to dissipate. In the next moment, he appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s cave abode. !! Master Lingxu looked at Dong Xi, the willow tree, the squirrel, and the chicken with aplicated expression. Dong Xi was still closing her eyes to stabilize her cultivation realm. She looked inside her dantian and saw that the purple Qi had gathered into a ball. Drip¡­ In the end, it turned into a purple liquid and dripped into Dong Xi¡¯s Dantian. Her body shook. Dong Xi felt as if her body had changed, and it was no longer limited to the change in her cultivation realm. As for the other changes, Dong Xi could not tell if it was an illusion. Everything around Dong Xi turned into elements. The trees were wood elements, and the cave abode was earth elements¡­ She raised her head and saw arge ball of fire elements not far away. There seemed to be some wood elements too? Dong Xi was stunned. What was this? Dong Xi took a closer look and realized that this was her Master. Dong Xi quickly stood up and walked forward happily. ¡°Master,¡± replied Dong Xi respectfully. Daoist Master Lingxu¡¯s thoughts were pulled back. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s passionate call, a thought suddenly came to his mind. It seemed that the treasures in the storage ring were no longer safe. Now that the child achieved sess, she¡¯ll be asking for a reward again. ¡°You¡¯ve already reached the Foundation Establishment stage?¡± asked Daoist Master Lingxu. ¡°Master, do you remember what you promised me?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Daoist Lingxu nced at Dong Xi and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t forgotten.¡± Thinking about it this way, it was no wonder why Dong Xi had such an expression when he said that he would wait for her to reach Foundation Establishment before going to train. Lingxu wanted to refine a cauldron of Foundation Establishment Pills in the next two days. When Dong Xi broke through, Lingxu wanted to protect her. But before Lingxu could make a move, Dong Xi had already broken through. Looking at the happy Dong Xi in front of him, Master Lingxu did not say anything. He suddenly understood that these disciples all had their own opportunities. He had to let them out and let them find their own opportunities. Raising his head, he saw this resentful disciple looking at Daoist Lingxu eagerly. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, I have already broken through. You¡­¡± ¡°Your cultivation speed is so fast. You¡¯re going to suck me dry of my resources. I can¡¯t keep up at all.¡± Lingxu sighed. After pausing for a moment, Lingxu continued, ¡°Fine, fine.¡± After saying that, Lingxu resigned himself to his fate and took out a storage bag and gave it to Dong Xi. He said, ¡°You talk a lot, so your expenses must be quite high. This is all I can help you with.¡± Dong Xi took the storage bag, and Daoist Master Lingxu immediately turned around and left. Dong Xi was surprised to find that her Master, who had always been steady, seemed to be a little anxious this time. Dong Xi respectfully bowed to his Master¡¯s back and said,¡±Disciple respectfully sends off Master.¡± When Master Lingxu heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, his footsteps became even faster. Dong Xi watched as her Master disappeared before looking at her storage pouch and sighing. It seemed that her Master¡¯s family fortune was gone. His storage ring had be a storage bag. Dong Xi opened the storage bag and saw that it was filled with spirit stones. She silently retracted her previous thoughts. Dong Xi knew that she was too shallow. Her Master was an 8th grade alchemist, how could he be poor? With a lot of money in his pockets, Dong Xi was much more generous when feeding her little chicken. She actually gave two spirit stones at a time. The two spirit stones disappeared as she fed it to the chicken. Dong Xi frowned. This little chick would not have such a big appetite. Why did it disappear just like that? Could it be¡­ This little chick also had a storage bag? It can¡¯t be¡­ Two spirit stones were bigger than this little thing. How could the little chick put them away? Dong Xi grabbed the back of the little chick¡¯s neck and started to size it up. After looking around, Dong Xi suddenly had an idea. Could it be¡­ This little chick had a storage space? Dong Xi was speechless. To have a storage space, it was definitely not an unknown demon beast. Even Songsong only had a storage bag. What kind of demon beast was this little chick? Dong Xi felt that she still had to go to the Library Pavilion to take a look. Of course, before that, Dong Xi had to collect all her benefits. Now that he had been in the sect for three years, the novice benefits were long gone. Chapter 381 - 381 Foundation Establishment Pill 381 Foundation Establishment Pill Although they had already passed the novice stage, inner sect disciples could still obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill when they reached Foundation Establishment. Although Dong Xi did not use it, there would be people who needed it. Chi Yan did not need to worry. With Chi Yan¡¯s aptitude, she would definitely be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage smoothly. It was not the same for Ke Xin. She had to prepare more or less for Ke Xin. Dong Xi went to the Mission Hall and received the Foundation Establishment Pill. When Senior Sister Wang Ying saw Dong Xi, she said happily, ¡°Junior Sister, long time no see. A Senior Brother of the Sword Sect said that you went out to gain experience. I didn¡¯t expect you toe back so soon.¡± ¡°I just came back,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°Senior Sister Wang Ying, I haven¡¯t seen you for a few months. You¡¯ve be more and more beautiful.¡± Dong Xi had a smile on her face. She was now much taller than when she first arrived at the sect. In the past, she was only a little taller than a table, but now the table only reached her waist. Dong Xi had shaved her head. She had just grown a bit of hair, but her hair looked heroic. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Wang Ying smiled and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re so sweet. I¡¯ve been like this for decades, but Junior Sister is different every time we meet.¡± After saying that, Wang Ying thought that Dong Xi hade this time for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Wang Ying said, ¡°Junior Sister, are you preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Wang Ying praised, ¡°Three years ago, you just entered the sect. At that time, I taught you calligraphy. I didn¡¯t expect that in the blink of an eye, you had already surpassed me. No wonder Master Lingxu insisted on taking you as his disciple. Now it seems that Master Lingxu has great foresight.¡± Dong Xi humbly continued to exchange a few pleasantries before taking the pill and leaving. After leaving the Mission Hall, Dong Xi specially went to the outer sect, but she could not find Ke Xin¡¯s residence. Dong Xi took out a jade slip and said in a voice message, ¡°Sister, where are you?¡± After waiting for a long time, there was still no reply. Dong Xi thought that Ke Xin was in closed-door cultivation and was about to leave when she received a reply from Ke Xin. ¡°I¡¯m at Tuoling Peak. Sister, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Ke Xin said through voice chat. ¡°Why did you go back to Tuoling Peak?¡± asked Dong Xi. Dong Xi asked casually, thinking that Ke Xin had something to do. ¡°I entered Tuoling Peak and became an inner sect disciple!¡± Ke Xin said in a voice message. Without waiting for Dong Xi to be shocked, Ke Xin sent another voice message, ¡°When you were away, and when you didn¡¯t care about your good sisters, I was recruited by Elder Fu Rui.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi knew that she was wrong. However, when she was in the Beast Trainer Sect, there was really no signal at all. As soon as Dong Xi came out of the Beast Trainer Sect, she immediately sent a message to Ke Xin and Chi Yan. Ke Xin gave Dong Xi the location of the cave dwelling. In less than 15 minutes, Dong Xi had already arrived. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi who had suddenly arrived. She felt that there was some change in Dong Xi, but she could not tell. Without waiting for Ke Xin to think, Dong Xi stuffed a porcin bottle into Ke Xin¡¯s hand. Dong Xi said, ¡°I apologize.¡± Ke Xin looked at the porcin bottle and said, ¡°What is this?¡± Ke Xin was also an alchemist. Although she could not be like Dong Xi, who could concoct perfect pills every time, she could concoct many low-grade pills, so she did not have much need for pills. Dong Xi did not directly tell Ke Xin what it was. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Can¡¯t you open it and take a look?¡± Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi in surprise, then opened the porcin bottle. After smelling the fragrance inside, Ke Xin frowned. It was not shock, but that this medicinal pill had already surpassed Ke Xin¡¯s knowledge. Ke Xin did not recognize it at all. ¡°Little Xi, what¡¯s this? It seems to be of a high grade. What is it used for?¡± Dong Xi was now slightly taller than Ke Xin. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Foundation Establishment Pill.¡± Ke Xin, ¡°??¡± Ke Xin widened her eyes in shock and said in disbelief, ¡°I just reached the 5th level of Qi Refinement. Why are you giving me the Foundation Establishment Pill? It¡¯s not as good as keeping it for you to use. You¡¯ll definitely reach Foundation Establishment faster.¡± Dong Xi did not say anything immediately. She removed the restriction on her body and said, ¡°What do you think my cultivation level is now?¡± At the Qi Refining stage, one could only see the cultivation of one cultivation realm higher than oneself. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi curiously. Ke Xin almost fell into Dong Xi¡¯s arms. She was a little excited and a little scared. Ke Xin grabbed Dong Xi¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Little Xi, how did you cultivate so quickly? How long had he been out training? Tell me nicely, did you take some crooked path? Listen to me. It doesn¡¯t matter if your cultivation is slow. If the direction is right, you will eventually increase your cultivation¡­ If you take the wrong path, your life will be ruined. Your talent is so good, don¡¯t take the wrong path¡­¡± Chapter 382 - 382 Invite Me In? 382 Invite Me In? Seeing Ke Xin¡¯s earnest advice, Dong Xi said helplessly, ¡°Invite me in? Shall we talk inside?¡± Ke Xin immediately pulled Dong Xi into the cave. This ce was much more normal than Dong Xi¡¯s cave, like a normal room of a girl waiting to be married. Dong Xi sat on the chair and casually picked up the spirit fruit on the table to eat. ¡°I was wondering why you suddenly became bald,¡± Ke Xin said anxiously. ¡± Little Xi, are you already under the control of your Mental Demon? That¡¯s right, are you still Dong Xi? Wait a minute, tell me two things that only you and I know?¡± Dong Xi saw that Ke Xin was getting more and more ridiculous, so she immediately said, ¡°Sister, enough is enough.¡± Ke Xin was still stubborn as she stared at Dong Xi. Ke Xin¡¯s expression was solemn as she held a long sword in her hand. Dong Xi was speechless. Wait, why is this girl using a sword? Of course, now was not the time to ask this. If Dong Xi did not exin, she was afraid that this silly sister would stab her with her sword without hesitation. Dong Xi¡¯s face turned serious and said seriously, ¡°When you eat roast chicken, you like chicken butts!¡± Ke Xin, ¡°?¡± What is this? Dong Xi continued, ¡°You like a very peculiar vor of shaved ice. When you see a good-looking cultivator, you always want his spiritual breath. However, you don¡¯t dare to do so. During the beast tide, if you fall from the sky, you willnd face first.¡± ¡­ Ke Xin immediately told Dong Xi to shut up. If she continued to speak like this, Ke Xin would not be able to look at herself properly. She said, ¡°Alright, alright!¡± As Ke Xin spoke, she picked up the dragon w and stuffed it into Dong Xi¡¯s mouth. Ke Xin said, ¡°Stop talking!¡± Dong Xi rolled her eyes at Ke Xin and spat out the dragon w. ¡°I know too much?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°So, you want to poison me?¡± ¡°So, what exactly did you encounter?¡± Ke Xin asked. How did you cultivate so quickly?¡± ¡°Tell me, is it because I¡¯m too talented?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Ke Xin frowned and pondered for a long time. Thinking of Dong Xi¡¯s results in the sectpetition, Ke Xin nodded and said, ¡°What you said makes sense.¡± ¡°I have outstanding talent and a bit of luck,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°This Foundation Establishment Pill is for you. Take it as my apology.¡± Ke Xin did not hesitate and put away the Foundation Establishment Pill. After that, she poured a cup of tea for Dong Xi. Ke Xin said, ¡°This tea leaf was given to me by Master thest time I saw him. I can¡¯t bear to take it out when otherse.¡± Dong Xi drank a mouthful of tea and pondered for a moment before taking out two jars of Green Bamboo Wine from her storage ring. ¡°Drink this, it¡¯s good for your body,¡± Dong Xi said. Ke Xin immediately took out two wine bowls. After drinking with Dong Xi, she began to talk about how to be an inner sect disciple. In the previouspetition, Ke Xin had already passed three rounds. Ke Xin still tried her best. Elder Fu Rui also noticed Ke Xin because of this. After investigating Ke Xin, he discovered that Ke Xin actually had fire and wood dual spirit roots. However, wood and fire wereplimentary. He did not know why Ke Xin¡¯s spirit root value was so low. Fu Rui felt that this girl was young, but she still had some tenacity, so he recruited her into the inner sect. Ke Xin was different from Dong Xi when she entered the inner sect. She was not a closed-door disciple, nor was she a personal disciple. She had been here for three months and had not seen her Master. Dong Xi immediately understood what kind of life the ordinary Inner Sect disciples of the Ningtian Sect had. Inparison, Dong Xi was indeed lucky. Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°Elder Fu Rui¡­ Is he Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s master?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. But Senior Brother Rui Ming is more favored than me. His cave abode is right next to Master¡¯s, and the restrictions in Master¡¯s cave abode will never stop Senior Brother Rui Ming.¡± Ke Xin nodded. Of course, Elder Fu Rui and Senior Brother Rui Ming had signed a contract. Senior Brother Rui Ming was probably the only demon beast that Elder Fu Rui did not need to guard against. Ke Xin knew that Dong Xi and Rui Ming had a good rtionship. Ke Xin said, ¡°Thanks to you, Senior Brother Rui Ming came to visit me twice and asked me about your whereabouts. However, I was unable to contact you during that time.¡± Dong Xi thought of the message she had left Senior Brother Rui Ming, but no one had replied. ¡°During this period of time, he didn¡¯t reply to my messages.¡± Ke Xin directly said, ¡°He¡¯s in seclusion. Recently, Senior Brother Rui Ming has been so diligent that it¡¯s terrifying. Everyone says that Senior Brother Rui Ming is now extremely studious. He was influenced by you.¡± ¡°Senior Brother Rui Ming is a member of the demon beast race. If we were to really get involved, I¡¯m afraid we wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. When Dong Xi said this, she saw Ke Xin¡¯s expression change drastically and pushed Dong Xi out. ¡°Alright, you should go back too. Don¡¯t dy my cultivation!¡± Ke Xin said. Chapter 383 - 383 Ruthless 383 Ruthless The stone door closed ruthlessly, and Dong Xi was rebuffed. Dong Xi sighed helplessly. She looked at the wine cup in her hand and shook her head. Dong Xi turned his wrist and the wine cup disappeared. She turned around and walked out. Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique was even smoother than before. If one looked closely, one would realize that Dong Xi¡¯s distance with each step was even further. !! Dong Xi¡¯s speed was astonishing. Even when she passed by others, it would only make them feel as if a gust of wind was blowing past them. In less than 15 minutes, Dong Xi arrived at the Library Pavilion. She hade here often before and was already very familiar with the gatekeeping disciples. Seeing Dong Xie again, the disciple said enthusiastically, ¡°Junior Sister, you¡¯re back?¡± ¡°Yeah, I just came back today,¡± Dong Xi nodded and said with a smile. ¡°All the disciples have beenzy since you weren¡¯t around,¡± said the gatekeeper. ¡°It¡¯s better for Junior Sister to be in the sect.¡± ¡°Cultivation is for oneself. Why is it for the sake ofpeting with others?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether I¡¯m here or not. Only then will you have a chance to achieve the Great Dao in the future.¡± When the gatekeeping disciple heard this, he smiled and said, ¡°Junior Sister is amazing. She managed to see through the truth with just a few words.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯m going in,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Alright,¡± said the disciple guarding the door. ¡°There are more books in the library recently. If Junior Sister is interested, you can take a look.¡± After Dong Xi thanked him, she walked in. Dong Xi was already in the Foundation Establishment Stage and could go up to the second floor. However, what Dong Xi did not know was that an hour ago, Master Lingxu specially came over and ced three books in. Dong Xi walked along the bookshelves, looking for the books she wanted. In the end, Dong Xi stopped in front of a bookshelf. The collection here was filled with records of what he had seen and heard in the cultivation world. Dong Xi casually took out two books and looked through them. However, she did not find what she wanted. Then, he continued to search, but there was nothing. This book was not thick, and it was obvious that the author of this book had not been to many ces. However, he had not expected that he would receive a revtion from this book. On the 22nd page of the book, Dong Xi saw a portrait of a certain bird sitting in the middle of the book. It had golden feathers and a fiery red tail. It looked like a chicken, but it was muchrger and stronger. The strange thing was that this bird was a two-way bird, which had never been seen in the cultivation world. When Dong Xi saw this, she immediately became nervous. Her hands trembled as she flipped the pages. Dong Xi felt that she was very close to the truth. The surroundings were very quiet, and only the sound of flipping pages could be heard. Dong Xi continued to read, and this was what was written in the book. There were three small words at the top of the strokes, which seemed to be in the ancientnguage. After pondering for many days, she realized that these three words should be ¡®Divine Bright Bird¡¯. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes widened in shock and she closed the book. Bright Bird? Was it true? This little guy was actually an ancient divine beast? At this moment, little chick ran out of the Demon Beast Bag andnded on the book. Dong Xi sized up the little fellow. It did look like a chicken, and it only had yellow fur. If it was really a Bright Bird, it was an existence that was even stronger than the Deep Sea Flood Dragon. She had to nurture it! From today onwards, Dong Xi would be this little guy¡¯s food and clothing provider. No, if it was a Bright Bird, it could not continue to be called ¡®little chicken¡¯. It had to be a shy name. What should I call it? Dong Xi began to ponder. In the end, Dong Xi looked at the little yellow chick in her hand and said, ¡°How about Da Niu? This sounds very strong.¡± The little chick started to call out to Dong Xi. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Do you like it too? From now on, you will be called Da Niu!¡± At this moment, Su Cheng just woke up and felt lucky. Fortunately, Su Cheng had a name¡­ Back then, Su Cheng had just been picked up by Dong Xi. What did Dong Xi call Su Cheng? ckie? It sounded worse than Da Niu¡­ Su Cheng did not know why a chicken was called Da Niu. Dong Xi ced Da Niu back into the Demon Beast Bag. The next second, Da Niu stuck his head out and cried out a few times in dissatisfaction. ¡°I know you¡¯re suffering here, but I¡¯m poor too. When Mom is rich in the future, I¡¯ll definitely find you a better ce to stay,¡± said Dong Xi. When Su Cheng heard this, he closed his eyes helplessly. Mom? How old was this little girl? She actually became a chicken¡¯s mother? However, his ability to fool Su Cheng was still the same as before. Dong Xi took the book and intended to copy it. Dong Xi¡¯s face was filled with excitement. When the disciples guarding the door saw it, they knew that Dong Xi had gained something and were very envious. ¡°Junior Sister, did you find what you wanted?¡± asked the gatekeeping disciple. Chapter 384 - 384 Strange 384 Strange Dong Xi suppressed her excitement and the fire element in her body became more active. She nodded. After that, the gatekeeping disciple helped Dong Xi to copy it and handed it to Dong Xi. Seeing Dong Xi leave, the gatekeeping disciple looked on in puzzlement. Master Lingxu and Junior Sister Dong Xi were really a strange pair of master and disciple. Why did Master Lingxu let Junior Sister Dong Xie and find him herself? Couldn¡¯t he just give it to Dong Xi directly? Could it be that Master Lingxu did not want Junior Sister Dong Xi to know that he was secretly helping her from behind? Perhaps that was the case. Instantly, a master who was silently paving the way for his disciple appeared in his mind. The gatekeeping disciples were somewhat suspicious. Was Junior Sister Chi Yan really thest disciple of Lingxu? Why did he feel that Master Lingxu treated Junior Sister Dong Xi better? Could it be an illusion? Before the disciple could figure it out, Dong Xi had already left. Along the way, Dong Xi was immersed in joy. When Dong Xi wanted to share it with someone, the first person she thought of was Second Senior Brother. He opened the jade slip and had just written the words Divine Bird: Bright Bird when themunication jade slip split open. Dong Xi was speechless. Communication jade slip! Dong Xi¡¯s heart ached. She had been carrying themunication jade slip for so long. At the same time, she understood that it was no wonder that the book had written about ¡®Divine Bright Bird¡¯ in such a way. It waspletely different from the Bright Bird in Dong Xi¡¯s memories. It was because she could not write it at all¡­ Dong Xi sighed. So this was a secret that could not be told. No wonder when Dong Xi asked her master about it previously, her master refused to say anything. Now that he thought about it, it was ot that he did not want to say it, but that he could not say it at all. Dong Xi felt like a nouveau riche. She had wealth but no one to show off to. She could only secretly be happy. Dong Xi sighed lightly and took out her backupmunication jade slip. He activated the jade slip with a spell. Second Brother sent a voice message saying, ¡°Junior Sister, what is it? Why did you say half of it?¡± ¡°Nothing much. I¡¯m just asking. Have you found the person you¡¯re looking for?¡± Dong Xi replied. These words were worth pondering over. Dong Xi naturally did not understand and did not ponder over them. Dong Xi directly said via voice transmission, ¡°Second Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this? Junior Martial Sister is stupid and doesn¡¯t understand.¡± Song Qingfeng sighed softly, his voice filled with the vicissitudes of life. He said, ¡°Those with bloodlines, no spirit roots. Those with spirit roots, the bloodline is wrong. I don¡¯t know where the problem is. ¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she could imagine the expression on Second Brother¡¯s face. Dong Xi didn¡¯t know who Second Brother was looking for, so she just said through voice chat, ¡°Second Senior Brother, don¡¯t be anxious. Take it slow. Perhaps these two people aren¡¯t what you¡¯re looking for?¡± Song Qingfeng was silent for a moment before he said in a tired voice, ¡°I understand.¡± Just as Dong Xi was about to put away hermunication jade slip, another message came. She thought it was from her second senior brother, but when she opened it, it was from Senior Brother Rui Ming. ¡°Junior Sister, I heard you¡¯re back?¡± ¡°Yes, I just got back today,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°Junior Sister, are you still leaving aftering back this time?¡± asked Rui Ming. Dong Xi thought of the Divine Bird, Da Niu, and felt that if it stayed in the sect, there was a high chance that it would not be able to afford it. In addition, she originally wanted to go out and train after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, so she naturally could not stay in the sect for long. Her master was right. It was not peaceful outside the sect now, but there were many opportunities. Dong Xi had to go out more. When Dong Xi thought of this, she said in the voice chat, ¡°Senior Brother Rui Ming, I might have to go out in two days. Training outside is very beneficial for improving my mental state.¡± ¡°Where are we going? When are youing back? Junior Sister, have you thought it through?¡± ¡°I want to go to the Void Sea,¡± said Dong Xi. After a moment, Rui Ming sent a void message to Dong Xi. ¡°Junior Sister, can you bring me along?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she said in a voice message, ¡°Senior Brother also wants to go? Did Elder Fu Rui ask you to go out?¡± ¡°If other ces aren¡¯t possible, the Void Sea is.¡± Rui Ming said in the voice chat. Dong Xi did not understand why, so she did not ask further. She said, ¡°I¡¯ve already agreed to go with Brother Tie Zhu of Masked Moon Sect. Is Senior Brother Rui Ming willing to go with me?¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine too. We can keep each otherpany,¡± said Rui Ming through voice chat. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll contact Senior Brother once I¡¯ve decided what to do,¡± said Dong Xi through voice chat. ¡­ After putting away themunication jade slip, Dong Xi immediately ran to her Master¡¯s cave abode. Master Lingxu did not enter a meditative state and had been quietly observing Dong Xi¡¯s movements. Master Lingxu knew that there were many books in the library and he had already tried his best to hint at Dong Xi. Whether or not she could find the three books would depend on her own luck. Chapter 385 - 385 Does She Know? 385 Does She Know? Soon, Master Lingxu noticed Dong Xi¡¯s arrival and a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that this little disciple did not disappoint Master Lingxu. Master Lingxu smiled and stood up. Dong Xi shouted from outside, ¡°Master, master, open the door. Your little disciple is here.¡± Ling Xu smiled and waved his hand, revealing a thin crack in the restriction. Dong Xi directly entered. She watched as her Master walked out, and she said, ¡°Master, do you know what it is? But you just can¡¯t say it?¡± Daoist Master Lingxu looked at Dong Xi meaningfully but did not say anything. However, Dong Xi understood. Dong Xi bowed respectfully and said, ¡°Master, please give me some pointers!¡± Master Lingxu stroked his beard in satisfaction. It was really convenient tomunicate with smart people. It seemed that Little Xi already knew what that little guy was. Just as Master Lingxu was about to praise Dong Xi, she said, ¡°Master, disciple has already broken through. I want to go to the Void Sea.¡± Daoist Lingxu¡¯s expression changed drastically and instantly darkened. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Master, I¡¯m already at the Foundation Establishment stage. My Body Refining Tier has also reached the 5th tier. I also have the life-saving item that you gave me previously. Don¡¯t worry. I will definitely cherish my life.¡± Lingxu sighed and said, ¡°When are you going? Are you alone?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ll be going with Senior Brother Tie Zhu and Senior Brother Rui Ming from Tuoling Peak.¡± ¡°Little Xi, tell Master the truth. What are you doing in the Void Sea?¡± Master Lingxu asked seriously. ¡°The Void Sea is the territory of the sea demons. Human cultivators have no advantage there. If you can¡¯t convince me today, I won¡¯t let you go no matter what.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s expression immediately turned serious. She said, ¡°Master, you might not believe me, but Daoist Mo Han was the one who told me to go to the Void Sea.¡± ¡°?¡± Master Lingxu frowned. Master Lingxu asked in puzzlement, ¡°Mo Han? You know Mo Han? Little Xi, lying is not a good thing.¡± Daoist Mo Han was weak and usually recuperated in Destiny Valley. Only someone came to ask Mo Han for a divination every month. Little Xi had never been to Destiny Valley, so how did these two people know each other? Dong Xi immediately raised her hand and swore to the heavens. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, I¡¯m not lying. I can swear an oath.¡± Dong Xi bit her lip and said, ¡°Master, I used amunication jade slip to ask about body refinement in the square. Daoist Mo Han happened to be kind enough to sell me the information. He said that if I want to find the Ice of Extreme Cold, I have to go to the Void Sea. ¡± When Lingxu heard this, his eyes instantly widened. When Dong Xi finished speaking, he pointed at Dong Xi angrily and said, ¡°You little girl, you must be on guard against others. Haven¡¯t you heard of it? There are all kinds of people on themunication jade slip, and you believe everything they say? You still dare to randomly ask about body refinement? Aren¡¯t you afraid that your refinement will be ruined if you take random bad advice?¡± Seeing that her Master was angry, Dong Xi immediately lowered her head and allowed Lingxu to scold her. Dong Xi knew that her Master was saying this for her own good. If Dong Xi was really a ten-year-old child, she might have been misled. However, Dong Xi had experienced a huge information explosion in her previous life, so she still knew how to do the basic filtering. Dong Xi would also carefully check if the words of those people on the jade slip square were true or not. Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s good attitude of admitting her mistake, Master Lingxu sighed and said, ¡°Wait a minute. I¡¯ll ask Daoist Master Mo Han first. There are more and more imposters on themunication jade slip now. We should be careful.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Master is right. I was too impulsive.¡± Dong Xi nodded obediently. Master Lingxu took out amunication talisman and raised his hand to form a seal. Master Lingxu said, ¡°Daoist Master Mo Han, I am Lingxu. May I ask if you can guide my little disciple to the Void Sea?¡± Dong Xi could only sigh helplessly when she saw themunication talisman in her master¡¯s hand turn into a paper crane and fly away. Dong Xi took out another backupmunication jade slip and ced it in front of her master. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, why don¡¯t you try this jade slip? It¡¯s really useful.¡± Master Lingxu took a look and turned his head. He said disdainfully, ¡°Humph¡­ I don¡¯t need this thing.¡± Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to her Senior Brother. [Second Senior Brother, are you busy now?] Soon, Song Qingfeng sent a voice message. He said, ¡°No, I¡¯ve found the ce I¡¯m looking for, but the situation isplicated. I¡¯m still investigating.¡± Chapter 386 - 386 Wronged 386 Wronged Dong Xi noticed that Lingxu was looking over and immediately ced themunication jade slip in front of him. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, do you want to talk to Second Senior Brother?¡± Seeing that Dong Xi had already handed over the jade slip, Master Lingxu did not refuse. Dong Xi formed a hand seal and let Master Lingxu speak. ¡°Told Two, how did you find him?¡± Master Lingxu coughed a few times and asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to use spells in the mortal world?¡± When Song Qingfeng heard his Master¡¯s voice, he was stunned for a moment before he said, ¡°Master, I¡¯m innocent. I swear to the heavens that my cultivation has already been sealed by you. I only have 10 percent of it now. How dare I use a spell technique casually? It was Little Junior Sister who helped me find the person.¡± When Lingxu heard this, he looked at Dong Xi. She immediately waved her hand and said, ¡°Second Senior Brother asked me to help. I don¡¯t even know who I¡¯m looking for¡­ Master, it¡¯s Second Senior Brother¡¯s fault. When Second Senior Brotheres back, I¡¯ll teach him a good lesson on your behalf.¡± ¡°You helped him find it?¡± Lingxu snorted coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve divined the location for Second Senior Brother.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°I heard that Third Senior Brother was the one who helped him find it.¡± Destruction. Everyone was destroyed. No one could be left behind. The look in Master Lingxu¡¯s eyes slowly changed. If Song Qingfeng could find the person he wanted so easily, he would not have needed so many years. He had found the wrong person more than ten years ago. Master Lingxu thought that Dong Xi and Li Li had learned a little and were just fooling around. He did not expect Dong Xi to actually have the ability to perform divinations. Dong Xi was no longer nderous. Seeing her Master¡¯s expression, she knew that her Master was not very angry. She immediately let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, ¡°Master, do you know who Second Senior Brother is looking for? Is she his sweetheart?¡± Dong Xi was very gossipy in her heart, but she was stopped by her Master¡¯s re. ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t talk nonsense,¡± said Lingxu. Dong Xi quickly shut her mouth. The moment she quieted down, themunication jade slip lit up again. This time, it was not Second Brother¡¯s message but Mo Han¡¯s. Mo Han¡¯s voice was still cold. ¡°Dong Xi, give the jade slip to your Master,¡± Mo Han said. Dong Xi obeyed and respectfully handed the jade slip to her Master. Master Lingxu took the jade slip and said, ¡°Daoist Master Mo Han, I¡¯m Daoist Master Lingxu.¡± Mo Han said in a voice message, ¡°I received the voice transmission talisman from you just now. I did tell Dong Xi to go to the Void Sea to find the Ice of Extreme Cold. I can¡¯t say that I gave her advice. I just sold some information.¡± Daoist Master Lingxu had just heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Mo Han¡¯sst sentence and his expression became serious again. When it came to Mo Han, the price of his divination was never low. How much wealth did Dong Xi have? How could she afford it? Dong Xi rubbed her nose and said, ¡°I promised him¡­ The friendship of a future Alchemy Grandmaster.¡± At that time, Dong Xi was penniless. Other than painting a big picture, there was nothing else. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°And he agreed?¡± asked Daoist Master Lingxu. Dong Xi nodded. Master Lingxu¡¯s expression was suddenly surprised. In the end, he could only sigh and say, ¡°Daoist Mo Han has a strange personality.¡± Daoist Master Lingxu and Daoist Master Mo Han thanked him and then returned the jade slip to Dong Xi. Daoist Master Lingxu said, ¡°Forget it. Since it¡¯s Daoist Mo Han who¡¯s giving pointers, you can go.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master. You¡¯re the best,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Daoist Lingxu nced at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Even if I keep you here, I can¡¯t keep your heart here.¡± Dong Xi was silent. Seeing Dong Xi being defeated, Lingxu found it very interesting. He continued, ¡°Give me amunication jade slip.¡± Dong Xi came back to her senses and knew that her Master had already seen the benefits of the jade slips. She immediately took out one and ced it in front of Lingxu. Dong Xi said, ¡°Master, study it yourself. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, call your disciple over.¡± Seeing that Dong Xi was about to leave, Master Lingxu immediately said, ¡°Where are you going? Not leaving any spiritual breath?¡± ¡°I forgot about it,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Dong Xi immediately added her Master as a friend. Her Master also asked Dong Xi to add her Senior Brothers. Then, Lingxu took themunication jade slip and began to study it. After receiving her Master¡¯s affirmation, Dong Xi went to make arrangements for her trip. After leaving her Master¡¯s cave abode, Dong Xi returned to her own. The experimental farm in the courtyard was well taken care of by Songsong. Dong Xi was very pleased at first, thinking that Songsong had grown up. However, when she returned this time, she happened to see Songsong drooling as it stared at a few small spirit seedlings. Only then did Dong Xi understand why Songsong was taking care of the experimental farm . Chapter 388 - 388 Water Repellent Pill 388 Water Repellent Pill The Water Repellent Pill was a tier 2 medicinal pill. It was very simple, but Dong Xi had never refined it before. On this trip to the Void Sea, Dong Xi suddenly thought of something. If the thing she wanted to find was at the bottom of the sea, what should she do? Therefore, this Water Repellent Pill had to be refined. Dong Xi used her points to exchange for some medicinal herbs, and then let the Big Snake send her into the Frog Space. The required medicinal ingredients were almost ready. Dong Xi memorized the key points of refining the Water Repellent Pill and then walked towards the pill refining room. Dong Xi thought that with her current Foundation Establishment cultivation, it would be easy for her to concoct a tier 2 Water Repellent Pill. However, when she actually concocted it, she realized that it was not easy at all. Although the Water Repellent Pill repelled water, one must have some understanding of water spiritual power. Alchemists basically all had fire and wood spirit roots, and almost no water spirit roots. It instinctively repelled water spiritual energy, so there were not many Water Repellent Pills on the market. Dong Xi had failed the first batch. She lowered her head and looked at her hands. Her fingers were long and slender, and there were calluses on her knuckles from practicing the sword. Dong Xi¡¯s thinking was too simple. The Water Repellent Pill was meant for humans or demon beasts to eat and move freely in the water. It could extract the oxygen in the water for the human body. Of course, there was no such thing as oxygen in the cultivation world. Therefore, the senior who invented this pill must be a genius. The oxygen had the effect of supporting thebustion, so it was very easy for the fire to go too far during refinement, and in the end, it would be a useless pill. Dong Xi¡¯s fire spiritual Qi was already at a high temperature, so how could it not be crippled? Dong Xi opened the pill furnace and looked at the pitch-ck inside. She sighed helplessly. Fortunately, the furnace given by her Master was not bad. Otherwise, the furnace would have exploded. Dong Xi used a cleaning spell to clean up the pill furnace. Then, she took out another set of medicinal ingredients and began to refine. This time, Dong Xi was very careful. She only injected a little fire spiritual energy, and used the rest of the earth fire in the alchemy room. However, this time, Dong Xi still failed. Dong Xi scratched her head helplessly and sighed. She took out hermunication jade slip and started to call for reinforcements. Dong Xi looked at Chi Yan¡¯s name and thought for a moment before immediately swiping it. Little Senior Sister¡¯s mes were even more terrifying. It was better to forget about asking Little Senior Sister for help. In the end, Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin¡¯s name and smiled. That¡¯s right. At this time, she still needed Kexin, this fake sister. ¡°Sister, can you help me?¡± Dong Xi immediately said through voice chat. ¡°Hurry up and say it. Don¡¯t dy my cultivation,¡± Ke Xin immediately said through voice chat. ¡°Help me refine some pills. I¡¯ll give you the herbs. You refine them,¡± said Dong Xi through voice chat. When Ke Xin heard this, she was a little stunned. Ke Xin sent a question mark. ¡°?¡± ¡°Sister, are you crazy? You¡¯re already at the Foundation Establishment stage, and you want me, a 5th level Qi Refinement trash, to help you refine pills? You can¡¯t joke like this, right?¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t refine this pill. After thinking about it, I have no choice but to look for you,¡± Dong Xi said helplessly. ¡°What medicinal pill? You can¡¯t refine it either?¡± Ke Xin asked in a puzzled voice. ¡°Water Repellent Pill,¡± said Dong Xi through voice chat. ¡­ Ke Xin did not reject Dong Xi. She went to the pill refining room and found Dong Xi¡¯s room. Dong Xi saw that Ke Xin hade and immediately stood up. She grabbed Ke Xin¡¯s hand and ran into the pill room. ¡°Sister, I can only look for you now,¡± said Dong Xi. Ke Xin saw a jar on the ground. She stretched her head out to take a look. It was filled with ck waste. ¡°Little Xi, are there things you¡¯re not good at?¡± Ke Xin asked with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not good at many things. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I can¡¯t buy them, I wouldn¡¯t have refined them myself,¡± said Dong Xi with a shrug. When Ke Xin heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she also sighed lightly. Ke Xin said, ¡°What if I can¡¯t?¡± ¡°Try. If it really doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll think of another way,¡± said Dong Xi indifferently. As she spoke, Dong Xi cupped her fists in a fawning manner and continued, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you to make a trip. Good sister, I won¡¯t treat you unfairly.¡± When Ke Xin heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. Ke Xin said, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Dong Xi smiled meaningfully and said, ¡°Chicken butts are enough.¡± Ke Xin¡¯s expression immediately became serious as she said, ¡°You¡¯re trying to bribe me with chicken butts?¡± Dong Xi hurriedly pulled Ke Xin and said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy you that robe you liked before.¡± Ke Xin said with a triumphant look, ¡°Deal, Xiao Xi. Don¡¯t forget your promise.¡± ¡°You should try to refine some pills.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy you the Daoist robe if you seed.¡± Dong Xi had the token given by Second Brother, so a Daoist robe was nothing. Ke Xin sat down, tidied her clothes, and looked at Dong Xi. Ke Xin said, ¡°Where are the herbs?¡± Chapter 389 - 389 Mental Preparation 389 Mental Preparation Dong Xi immediately flipped her hand and took out the herbs. Dong Xi said, ¡°Here.¡± ¡°How should I refine it?¡± Ke Xin asked. ¡°I¡¯ve never concocted a Water Repelling Pill before. For tier 2 pills, I¡¯ve only concocted a Wind Speed Pill before. The sess rate isn¡¯t very high, so you have to be mentally prepared.¡± Ke Xin knew that Dong Xi was very strong. Usually, Dong Xi¡¯s pill concoction was perfect. This had be the benchmark in the Alchemy Sect. Ke Xin was afraid that if she did not refine it well, Dong Xi would be disappointed, so she said it in advance. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the sess rate. It doesn¡¯t matter even if all the pills are wasted,¡± said Dong Xi. As she spoke, Dong Xi pointed to the jar at the side. Dong Xi said, ¡°Look at how much I¡¯ve wasted.¡± After Dong Xi said this, Ke Xin no longer felt any psychological burden. Dong Xi took out her previous experience and told Ke Xin everything she could use. Ke Xin listened very seriously. Dong Xi had a unique understanding of pill concoction. After listening to a few words, she benefited greatly, unlike Ke Xin and the others, who werepletely imitating others in pill concoction. It was also Dong Xi¡¯s first time seeing Ke Xin concoct pills. From the moment Ke Xin injected her spiritual energy, Dong Xi frowned. She did not say anything and just quietly looked at Ke Xin¡¯s ruined furnace. Looking at Ke Xin¡¯s dejected appearance, Dong Xi said, ¡°If you give too much spiritual energy at the beginning, pill refinement is a continuous process. It¡¯s impossible to seed in a short time. If you inject too much spiritual energy in the early stages, you¡¯ll be too weak in theter stages. When fusing, the various parts of the pill refinement will be uneven, and it¡¯ll be easy for it to be wasted.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Ke Xin nodded. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°At the beginning, you should first use your spiritual energy to circle around the furnace. This is a hot furnace. This way, you can ensure that the medicinal herbs are heated more evenly in the furnace. Do you understand?¡± Ke Xin understood. In the past, pill refinement was something she had to ponder over by herself. Although there was a Senior Sister exining it in the Skill Teaching Hall, it was not as detailed as this. Perhaps¡­ Senior Sister did not understand this either. Later on, when Ke Xin entered the inner sect, she was still being let loose. Her Master had never seen her before, so no one would talk about these things. ¡°I¡¯ll keep trying,¡± said Ke Xin. This time, Ke Xin¡¯s spiritual energy was much more stable than before. Ke Xin only had fire and wood dual spirit roots, so she would not be affected by other misceneous spiritual energies. At the same time, her spirit root values were not high, and the temperature of the mes was not high. She did not need to grasp the elemental bnce here like Dong Xi. Ke Xin focused on the pill furnace, paying attention to the changes inside. When it was about time, she immediately formed hand seals and cast them one by one. After a while, there was no sound from the pill furnace, nor was there any strange smell. Could it be¡­ she seeded? Ke Xin suppressed the excitement in her heart and immediately stood up to check. Dong Xi also stood up. The two of them opened the pill furnace and were excited when they saw the three pills inside. ¡°You are indeed amazing. You seeded in the second batch. Sister, your talent is not bad,¡± said Dong Xi. Ke Xin suddenly became a little shy and said shyly, ¡°Not really.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the room instantly fell silent. Ke Xin raised her head and looked at Dong Xi. The two of themughed at the same time. Afterughing for a long time, Dong Xi pushed Ke Xin to the praying mat from behind and let Ke Xin sit down. ¡°It¡¯s not over yet. Continue refining,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°How much do you want to refine?¡± Ke Xin asked in puzzlement. Dong Xi raised his eyebrows. With his short hair, he looked like a young man. ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll stop until you can perfectly concoct the pill,¡± said Dong Xi. Ke Xin, ¡°?? ¡± ¡°Perfect pill concoction?¡± Sister, do you think I¡¯m like you? I have never refined a pill perfectly before. This is a tier 2 medicinal pill. I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t¡­¡± Dong Xi stood beside Ke Xin and said, ¡°You can!¡± Ke Xin was stunned for a moment. Looking at Dong Xi, Ke Xin¡¯s eyes were filled with unconfidence. Dong Xi looked down at Ke Xin and said firmly, ¡°Even if you couldn¡¯t do it in the past, you can do it today.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s gaze seemed to contain a magical power, and Ke Xin slowly calmed down. Ke Xin did not say anything. She followed Dong Xi¡¯s instructions and used the spiritual energy to heat up the furnace. Seeing Ke Xin¡¯s actions, Dong Xi immediately took out two sets of medicinal herbs and handed them to her. Dong Xi threw the medicinal herbs in one by one. Dong Xi watched Ke Xin from the side, wondering if she was writing something on the paper. The cauldron of pills seeded once again. It was clearly better than before. This time, there were four pills. Although they were all low-grade, it still gave Ke Xin confidence. Ke Xin had a lot of room for improvement. Although it was a little difficult, as long as she refined more and became familiar with it, there was still a lot of hope. Ke Xin secretly cheered herself on. Chapter 390 - 390 Experience 390 Experience Just as Ke Xin was about to continue refining, Dong Xi interrupted her. Dong Xi took the paper and said while reading, ¡°The heating time of the furnace can¡¯t be too long, but it can¡¯t be too short either. Wait until the temperature of the path is about the same as the temperature of the spiritual energy you injected. You can try to change the order of the medicinal herbs entering. Some spiritual nts have better medicinal properties the longer they are grown. Some are the opposite. You have to think of a way to make these medicinal herbs have the best medicinal properties¡­¡± Dong Xi said that this was all from her past experience. There was nothing to hide between sisters. Ke Xin was stunned when she heard this. Ke Xin suddenly felt that whenpared to Dong Xi in terms of alchemy, it was like a child ying around. Ke Xin waspletely wasting materials. After half a day, Ke Xin still had her mouth agape in shock. When Dong Xi finished speaking, Ke Xin said, ¡°So there is so much knowledge in alchemy.¡± Dong Xi smiled but did not say anything. Ke Xin continued, ¡°How do I know when the medicinal properties are the strongest?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no shortcut. We can only refine more,¡± said Dong Xi. Although she said it lightly, Ke Xin¡¯s heart trembled. No wonder everyone said that Dong Xi seemed to be living in a pill concocting room. The Spirit Restore Pills that Dong Xi concocted raised the sect¡¯s welfare by a whole level. Today, Dong Xi was able to clear up Ke Xin¡¯s doubts, and what she said was so reasonable. Even if she did not say anything, it was enough to make many alchemists think for a long time. This was something that Dong Xi hade up with after refining countless pills. Ke Xin sighed. This sister was clearly younger than her, but she had lived a very clear life. Ke Xin thought about herself¡­ The longer he stayed in the sect, the less she would think. Everything she did was based on books. Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin in a daze. She raised her hand and pinched Ke Xin¡¯s face. Now that Ke Xin was 15 years old, the baby fat on her face had slowly disappeared, and she had a beautiful oval face. Ke Xin instantly came back to her senses. Dong Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯t bezy, Sister. Continue refining. You help me refine pills, and I¡¯ll find your ws. We¡¯ll win!¡± Ke Xin pped Dong Xi¡¯s hand away. Ke Xin nodded with a serious expression. She took the medicinal herbs again and changed the order of the medicinal herbs ording to Dong Xi¡¯s words. Some herbs looked thick but could not withstand fire. Some looked ordinary but would burn for a long time. This was also Ke Xin¡¯s first time seriously examining these spirit herbs. She felt that it was very strange. She watched as these medicinal herbs became purer bit by bit. After burning them for a while, the medicinal effects would appear. Ke Xin also slowly understood when these medicinal effects were the best. Ke Xin copied Dong Xi¡¯s appearance and took out a pen and paper to record everything she found. After a dozen rounds of refining, Ke Xin opened the furnace again. This time, there were five medicinal pills inside, one of which was a middle-grade. ¡°It¡¯s really useful, sister. You¡¯re too amazing,¡± Ke Xin said excitedly. Dong Xi also noticed that Ke Xin had slowly mastered how to summarize her experience. This way, she did not need to watch from the side Dong Xi could help Ke Xin for a while, but not for a lifetime. In the future, no matter what kind of pills she refined or what cultivation method she learned, this method could be used. Ke Xin now also understood Dong Xi¡¯s words, and she knew that practice makes perfect. Ke Xin also understood why even though Dong Xi was young, she was always more powerful than the others. Other than Dong Xi¡¯s natural endowments being very good, Dong Xi had perseverance and wisdom that others did not have. Previously, he heard that Dong Xi had refined more than 10,000 batches of Spirit Restore Pills, and this was not counting the Vitality Reinforcement Pills, Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and other pills. Ke Xin and Dong Xi entered the sect at the same time. Even 100 Ke Xins added together would not be able to produce as many pills as Dong Xi. Although it was due to her cultivation speed, Ke Xin was not as hardworking as Dong Xi. On the other hand, Dong Xi was brave, smart, and had good aptitude. Therefore, Dong Xi entered the sect for three years, and she already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Many cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots could not do it. Ke Xin suddenly thought of something and raised her head to look at Dong Xi. Ke Xin said, ¡°Little Xi, you¡¯re a Perfect Foundation Establishment Cultivator? ¡± When Dong Xi participated in thepetition, she was only at the 7th level of Qi Refinement. Now, after half a year, she had already reached Foundation Establishment. It could not be that she would cultivate to the perfected 12th level of Qi Refinement stage in half a year, and then break through to the Foundation Establishment stage perfectly, right? However, Ke Xin could not figure out why Junior Sister Dong Xi was in such a hurry to reach the Foundation Establishment stage when she had such good aptitude and was still young. When the final meridian channels were all opened up, wouldn¡¯t it form a perfect cycle? Ke Xin was still thinking when Dong Xi said indifferently, ¡°I have obsessivepulsive disorder.¡± ¡°?¡± Still not understanding, Ke Xin frowned and said, ¡°Sister, are you sick? What was obsessivepulsive disorder? Can it be treated?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 391 - 391 Treasure, Not Food 391 Treasure, Not Food Dong Xi was a little helpless. ¡°I¡¯m not sick, but I pursue perfection.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. When Ke Xin heard this, she immediately understood. After that, Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi in shock. After a long time, she suppressed the shock in her heart and said, ¡°Sister, you¡¯re in the Perfect Foundation Establishment Stage?! ¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Sister, how did you do it?¡± Ke Xin asked excitedly. ¡°Teach me? My God, Chi Yan has a Heavenly Spirit Root, and she¡¯s only at the 11th level of Qi Refinement now. Chi Yan is so hardworking and hasn¡¯t even reached the Foundation Establishment realm. You¡­¡± Dong Xi could understand Ke Xin¡¯s shock, but if she were to really talk about her experience, she would not be able to say it. Dong Xi cultivated like the others, but her physique was special. Dong Xi did not know how to tell Ke Xin. She said, ¡°There¡¯s no secret. It¡¯s probably because I¡¯ve had an Epiphany twice¡­ When I was traveling, I encountered another opportunity¡­¡± When she was in the Beast Trainer Sect, Dong Xi was really confused. Even now, she still could not understand it. She clearly did not do anything and only cultivated for a night as usual, but in the end, she broke through two minor realms in one night. After Ke Xin calmed down, she pondered and said, ¡°I see. I should go out and travel.¡± Dong Xi thought of the disciples who had died in the first half of the year and could not help but worry about Ke Xin. Dong Xi tactfully said, ¡°Sister, why don¡¯t we wait until our cultivation level is higher and go out? It¡¯ll be safer that way.¡± Ke Xin knew that Dong Xi was worried about her. Ke Xin said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± Dong Xi felt that the reminder was enough, so she did not continue. Just as Ke Xin was about to continue refining pills, a small head appeared in Dong Xi¡¯s Demon Beast Bag. Compared to before, the little fellow¡¯s hair was even more sparse, and its entire head seemed to be much bigger. Compared to raising chickens, this growth speed was really slow! Da Niu came out of the Demon Beast Bag and swaggered around the alchemy furnace a few times. Finally, he jumped onto the jar that contained the discarded medicinal ingredients. Dong Xi saw Da Niu lose his bnce and fall into the jar. She immediately went forward to check, and Da Niu once again popped his head out. One of the few feathers on his head had fallen off, and he was holding an abandoned pill in his mouth. Seeing Dong Xie over, Da Niu immediately ate the pill and then went back into the jar, leaving his butt outside. Dong Xi looked on with aplicated expression. I was wrong before. This little thing¡­ It was easy to raise. ¡°Little Xi, what this is? Are you raising him?¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°As expected, I still understand you.¡± Ke Xin smiled and said, ¡°A chicken raised by you will taste especially delicious when the timees, especially the chicken butt¡­¡± ¡°?¡± Dong Xi immediately interrupted Ke Xin¡¯s fantasy and said, ¡°Stop having such dangerous fantasies. This little guy is a treasure.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Ke Xin said awkwardly. ¡°Treasure? So it¡¯s not food¡­¡± Dong Xi picked up a jar of discarded medicinal herbs and pills and said, ¡°Think about refining pills first. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± Ke Xin nodded, and Dong Xi walked out in a hurry. After Dong Xi came out, he immediately went to find Senior Sister Ling Xi. Dong Xi took out a Youth Pill and secretly gave it to Senior Sister Ling Xi. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, it¡¯s really hard to be on duty every day. Recently, Junior Sister received a medicinal pill. I wonder if Senior Sister likes it.¡± Ling Xi was instantly stunned. This kind of thing happened every day. She also knew that Dong Xi had a favor to ask of her. Under normal circumstances, Ling Xi should have refused. However, after hearing thetter part of the sentence, Ling Xi was unable to refuse. ¡°It¡¯s said that this Youth Pill can make you stay young forever. I¡¯m still young, so I don¡¯t have any use for it. I just wanted to give it to Senior Sister¡­¡± said Dong Xi. When Ling Xi heard the name of the pill, and she was unable to refuse. Dong Xi also understood Senior Sister Ling Xi¡¯s feelings at this moment. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Sister, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you. I just want to ask, how do you usually deal with those discarded medicinal pills in the sect?¡± Upon hearing this, Ling Xi heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°We send it to the herb garden. Although it¡¯s a discarded pill, it still has some medicinal properties. It can be turned into fertilizer in the herb garden and nourish the spirit nts.¡± ¡°Senior Sister, can you sell me some of these discarded pills?¡± asked Dong Xi with a smile. Hearing this, Ling Xi felt even more rxed. She said, ¡°I thought it was a big deal. There¡¯s no problem with the discarded pills. You can just take as many as you want.¡± What did Alchemy Sectck the least? Of course, they were discarded medicinal pills. She could have as many as she wanted. Chapter 392 - 392 Price 392 Price Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Senior Sister, I might want a lot. I might want it all the time in the future. Let¡¯s discuss the price. I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t be able to exin it to the sect in the future.¡± Seeing Dong Xi being so sincere, Ling Xi thought for a moment and said, ¡°How about this, one medicinal pill for 20 discarded medicinal pills. Whatever tier of medicinal pills you need, you can use whatever tier of medicinal pills to exchange for them. Is that okay?¡± ¡°Deal.¡± Dong Xi nodded happily. Although the discarded pills had lost some of their medicinal properties, if one could be exchanged for 20, Dong Xi would still be able to make a profit. If this continued, the pressure of raising Da Niu would not be too great. Dong Xi immediately exchanged for 2,000 discarded pills to feed Da Niu. Ling Xi would receive 100 tier 3 medicinal pills and could also exin to the sect. Ke Xin refined in the pill refining room for a little more than a month and finally refined ten top-grade Water Repellent Pills. Ke Xin excitedly called Dong Xi over. Ke Xin said, ¡°Sisters, look! I seeded! I refined the pill perfectly! This is the first time. I¡¯m so awesome!¡± Dong Xi had borrowed a lot of travel notes from the Library Pavilion, and most of them were about the Void Sea. Dong Xi was immersed in the sea of books and was unable to extricate herself. Suddenly, she was woken up by Ke Xin. Coming back to her senses, Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin. He saw Ke Xin holding the lid of the furnace with one hand and the edge of the furnace with the other. Her face was filled with excitement. A month had passed, and Dong Xi¡¯s hair had grown to the length of a wolf¡¯s tail under the insistence of using hair growth cream. Dong Xi smiled. The stray strands of hair on her forehead fell down. Dong Xi pulled her hair back, revealing her sharp eyes. Ke Xin was stunned on the spot when she saw Dong Xi¡¯s appearance. For some reason, she felt that Dong Xi and Senior Brother Song Qingfeng were bing more and more alike. Could it be that each side of the world nurtured the other side? Without waiting for Ke Xin to understand, Dong Xi put down the book in her hand and walked toward Ke Xin. Arriving in front of the pill furnace, Dong Xi looked inside and indeed saw ten pills. There were dark golden patterns on the pill and a pill fragrance. That¡¯s right, it was a perfect pill refinement. Dong Xi gave Ke Xin a thumbs up and said, ¡°Sister, you¡¯re amazing.¡± When Ke Xin heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she became even more pleased with herself. Compared to a perfect pill concoction, Dong Xi¡¯s approval was even more important. ¡± I don¡¯t need to use the pills that I refined earlier, ¡± Ke Xin said. ¡°We¡¯re sisters, so we can only use top-grade Water Repellent Pills!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and said, ¡°Alright, then you have to work hard on refining pills. This little girl is waiting to enjoy life with you in the future.¡± ¡°Sister, how many pills do you need?¡± Ke Xin asked with a serious expression. ¡°I¡¯ll quickly refine it for you. Don¡¯t waste your time.¡± ¡°100 pills should be enough,¡± said Dong Xi after thinking for a moment. Since there were only three people, 100 pills should be enough. ¡°Alright, give me a day. I¡¯ll give you the pills tomorrow,¡± said Ke Xin. Dong Xi nodded. Then, she took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to Rui Ming and Tie Zhu, telling them that they would set off in three days and that they should start preparing now. The only teleportation array to the Void Sea was in the city, so they agreed to meet there. Three dayster, Dong Xi bade farewell to her Master and left the Ningtian Sect with Songsong and Da Niu. Liu Qing would stay behind and take care of the spirit nts. Dong Xi wanted to put the two little fellows into the Demon Beast Bag, but they were both capable, and the demonic beast bag could not hold them at all. As soon as she put them in, the two little fellows popped their heads out. Dong Xi had no choice but to let the two little fellows stand on her shoulder. When they were about to reach the teleportation array, Dong Xi grabbed the two little fellows in each hand and said, ¡°The teleportation array charges ording to the number of people. If you cause me trouble, I¡¯ll abandon you guys.¡± After saying that, he ced the two little fellows back into the demon beast bag. It was unknown whether it was the threat or the two little fellows being sensible, but after Dong Xi arrived at the teleportation array, tey did note out to cause trouble. Dong Xi was very gratified and sessfully arrived at Fotai City. Songsong was the first to stick her head out. Not long after, Da Niu also stuck his head out. Dong Xi lowered her head and saw Songsong¡¯s face begging for praise. Songsong¡¯s voice rang out in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Songsong said, ¡°Little Xi, hurry up and praise me. This ugly guy wanted toe out just now, but I pressed him down. Isn¡¯t Songsong very powerful?¡± Dong Xi touched the pine in relief and said, ¡°The child has finally grown up. He knows how to care for others!¡± Songsong¡¯s eyes lit up even more as she said, ¡°Little Xi, this ugly fellow is disobedient. Why don¡¯t you let it go? It¡¯s fine as long as there¡¯s Songsong with you. Songsong is especially obedient!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 393 - 393 Must Earn It Back 393 Must Earn It Back To be honest, it was impossible for Dong Xi to set them free. But seeing Songsong¡¯s excited face, Dong Xi still found an excuse. ¡°Songsong, I can¡¯t let him go,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°This guy has eaten a lot of my good stuff. I have to earn it back. Otherwise, I¡¯ll lose too much.¡± Songsong tilted her head and thought for a long time. She felt that Dong Xi was right. However, when she saw the ugly guy who did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations, Songsong was still very puzzled. Songsong said, ¡°But¡­ Can this ugly guy really earn back the money he ate?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll definitely work!¡± Dong Xi nodded. Rui Ming watched the two of them interact and then looked at the crowd. He was a little reserved. This was also Rui Ming¡¯s first time in a big city. Perhaps he had been here before, but Rui Ming did not remember. ¡°Junior Sister Dong Xi, where are you meeting Senior Brother Tie Zhu?¡± asked Rui Ming. ¡°At the Ming Yang Teahouse on Wuji Street,¡± Dong Xi replied immediately. This was not the first time Dong Xi hade here. In order to sell fur, Dong Xi visited every corner of the city. The two of them walked straight to the teahouse. This was the first time Rui Ming had seen Tie Zhu, but he recognized him as soon as he entered. This was because Tie Zhu was too eye-catching among a group of refined cultivators. Other people had teacups in their hands, but Tie Zhu had a teacup. It seemed that drinking from the tea bowl was not enough, so he picked up the teapot and started drinking. After drinking the entire pot, Tie Zhu wiped the corner of his mouth and said, ¡°It¡¯s satisfying!¡± ¡°Junior Sister, is this Senior Brother Tie Zhu?¡± Rui Ming whispered. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± Dong Xi nodded. The two of them walked forward. Dong Xi said respectfully, ¡°Senior Brother Tie Zhu.¡± Tie Zhu turned around and saw Dong Xi. It was as if he had seen his family. Tie Zhu stood up and said, ¡°Junior Sister, you guys are finally here. Hurry up and drink some tea.¡± Tie Zhu picked up the teapot in his hand and prepared to pour tea for the two of them. By the time Tie Zhu reacted, the teapot had already been emptied. He said, ¡°I forgot. I finished it just now. It¡¯s too hot. I couldn¡¯t help it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, just one more pot will do,¡± Dong Xi also said with a smile. Dong Xi raised her hand and called for the waiter. She added a pot of tea and sat opposite Tie Zhu. ¡°I missed you thest time we parted,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°It¡¯s still fun to spar with Senior Brother.¡± ¡°Our sect¡¯s body cultivators aren¡¯t good enough.¡± Tie Zhu nodded. ¡°We don¡¯t even have an evenly matched opponent. It¡¯s even more boring.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. When I¡¯m free in the future, I¡¯ll have a good spar with my Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi. As he spoke, Dong Xi pointed at Rui Ming and said, ¡°Senior Brother, you can also spar with Senior Brother Rui Ming.¡± Tie Zhu looked at Rui Ming and said in surprise, ¡°This brother looks frail, but he¡¯s actually a body cultivator?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not considered a body cultivator,¡± said Rui Ming with a smile. ¡°My physique is just a little stronger.¡± When Tie Zhu heard this, he said, ¡°Just having a sturdy body is not enough. I¡¯m already at the fourth level of Body Refining Tier. Even your small body may not be able to withstand a punch.¡± As Tie Zhu spoke, he seemed to have seen a sh in the eyes of his skinny Junior Brother. Tie Zhu did not think much of it and just took it that his Junior Brother was embarrassed. Dong Xi shook her head helplessly and said meaningfully, ¡°Senior Brother, if you have the chance, you¡¯ll understand.¡± Tie Zhu still wanted to ask Rui Ming about his current Body Refining Tier level, but the waiter just happened to bring the tea. ¡°Sir, this is the tea you ordered,¡± said the waiter. Dong Xi poured tea for the three of them and started talking about the trip to the Void Sea. ¡°The Void Sea is at the northernmost part of the forest in Qinan City,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°There are many demon beasts in the forest. With our cultivation, it¡¯s impossible for us to pass through the forest directly. It¡¯s safer to take the teleportation array.¡± Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister is right. I heard that most cultivators in the Void Sea have water spirit roots. Junior Sister, you have fire spirit roots. You will be affected there.¡± Dong Xi had already made preparations. Water and fire were ipatible. The cultivators of the Void Sea were all on inds where fire spiritual energy was scarce. If they really attacked, Dong Xi¡¯s spell techniques would be greatly reduced. However, so what? No matter what, Dong Xi was still a sword cultivator! Before Dong Xi could speak, Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, don¡¯t be afraid. I can protect you.¡± Dong Xi was very gratified. Tie Zhu smiled and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you are still young, but you are very responsible in doing things. It suits my temper very well. Come, let¡¯s toast.¡± Tie Zhu raised the teacup in his hand. Rui Ming was stunned for a moment. When he realized that Tie Zhu was looking at him, he picked up the cup and touched it tentatively. It was good enough that drinking tea felt like drinking wine. Dong Xi was somewhat helpless. Tie Zhu smiled and said, ¡°Today, we¡¯re meeting at a teahouse. If it were a tavern, I would definitely get drunk with Fellow Daoist Rui Ming. ¡° Chapter 394 - 394 Get Drunk? 394 Get Drunk? Get drunk? Dong Xi suddenly had a feeling. He did not know if it was right to invite Senior Brother Tie Zhu to the Void Sea¡­ Senior Brother Tie Zhu, do you still remember what you are going to do this time? Seeing Dong Xi Zhi¡¯s gaze, Tie Zhu felt somewhat awkward. After a moment, Tie Zhu said, ¡°That, I was just joking. We still have to hurryter. How can we get drunk? Hehe¡­ Junior Sister Dong Xi, when are we leaving?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she looked at Tie Zhu without any doubt. Dong Xi said, ¡°We¡¯ll leave immediately after we finish drinking the tea.¡± The three of them were not slow-witted people. After drinking the tea, they went to the teleportation array. The cost of activating the long-distance teleportation array was very high. Therefore, he had to wait for a hundred people before the teleportation array could be activated. When Dong Xi and the other two arrived, there were already more than 60 people here. After waiting for an hour, there were finally 100 people. One of them blew on the conch, and everyone who had a teleportation token heard the sound. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Tie Zhu said excitedly. Dong Xi nodded and turned to look at Rui Ming. Rui Ming looked excited and confused. Dong Xi remembered that Rui Ming had said that Elder Fu Rui could not let him go to any other ce except the Void Sea. Why was this? Dong Xi was puzzled, but in the end, she did not ask and followed everyone into the teleportation array. The long-distance teleportation formation was naturally not asfortable as the Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman. It felt like taking a bus in her previous life. Dong Xi took out a praying mat and sat down. Rui Ming and Tie Zhu sat on both sides of Dong Xi, as if they were two guardians. Everyone closed their eyes. As the teleportation array was activated, all the runes on it lit up, and everything around them began to spin. If short-distance teleportation was like taking a bus, long-distance teleportation was like putting a bus on a pendulum. If it were not for the fact that cultivators had good physical fitness, they would probably have vomited until they fainted after two hours. Dong Xi allowed herself to be led out by the crowd. After getting off the teleportation array, the salty sea breeze blew over as she stepped on the ground. Dong Xi narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was actually a little hungry. ¡°Senior Martial Brothers, shall we try some seafood?¡± asked Dong Xi. Tie Zhu, ¡°¡­¡± In the beginning, Tie Zhu thought that Junior Sister Dong Xi had asked toe together because she had a tough battle to fight. But now, it seemed like she was here for a vacation? Tie Zhu did not say anything. Rui Ming said, ¡°Sure.¡± Tie Zhu also saw the love. As long as Junior Sister Dong Xi said it, Junior Brother Rui Ming would agree. Tie Zhu raised his head and saw Dong Xi¡¯s eyes. ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t like it?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°No, I just didn¡¯t expect that the always diligent Junior Sister Dong Xi would have such a side,¡± replied Tie Zhu. Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°Senior Brother, on the path of cultivation, there is tension and rxation. This is the right path. Let¡¯s go, Senior Brother. Let¡¯s go buy some seafood. I¡¯ll roast it for you.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, do you really know how to do it?¡± Tie Zhu asked in surprise. ¡°Junior Sister¡¯s barbecue is very good,¡± said Rui Ming in a low voice. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be your assistant.¡± Tie Zhu nodded. Dong Xi looked at Rui Ming again and said, ¡°Senior Brother Rui Ming, you can eat seafood?¡± ¡°I can eat fish,¡± said Rui Ming. Dong Xi was instantly relieved. It was normal for cranes to eat fish. Dong Xi found a ce to live, and Rui Ming volunteered to buy seafood. Unexpectedly, Rui Ming went for two hours this time. Dong Xi was a little anxious. Senior Brother Rui Ming was very fast, why had he not returned yet? Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message, but she did not receive any reply. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and took out the feather that Senior Brother Rui Ming had given her when they first arrived at the sect. Since she had never used this item before, Dong Xi followed Rui Ming¡¯s instructions and called Rui Ming three times with the feather. However, Rui Ming had yet to return, and Dong Xi became even more anxious. Holding the feather in her hand, Dong Xi could vaguely sense Rui Ming¡¯s direction. Dong Xi used sand to extinguish the fire. Then, he looked at Tie Zhu who was training his body not far away, and said, ¡°Senior Brother, I can¡¯t wait anymore. I¡¯m going to find Senior Brother Rui Ming. I can¡¯t be at ease if I can¡¯t contact him.¡± This was their first time here, and they were unfamiliar with the ce. If Rui Ming met a bad person, it would be difficult to handle. The two of them left the beach and followed the feather¡¯s guidance. The further they went west, the smaller houses and some fishing boats appeared in front of them. The sea breeze here was continuous. The sea breeze in the cultivation world was not as gentle as in his previous life. From the height of these houses, they could tell the cultivation and status of the cultivators here. Chapter 395 - 395 Split Up and Search 395 Split Up and Search The houses of ordinary height here would be overturned by the sea breeze. Therefore, in order to prevent the houses from being blown over, themoners built their houses very low. They had to bend down to enter the house. As for those who were powerful, they could design high-level protective shields. The materials used were also stronger, so the houses would be much taller. It was for this reason that the two-story building in the middle was particrly eye-catching. Dong Xi looked at the small building and his gaze became firm. Dong Xi could feel that Senior Brother Rui Ming was inside. He sighed helplessly. He had just arrived here and had already found the strongest person here. What was Senior Brother Rui Ming trying to do? Dong Xi suddenly regretted not asking clearly. If she had asked why Senior Brother Rui Ming was here, this would not have happened. After entering the city, Dong Xi was worried that he would implicate Senior Tie Zhu. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to go alone. Dong Xi pretended not to know where Rui Ming was and said, ¡°Senior brother, let¡¯s split up and search. You go there, I¡¯ll go to the other side. If you find Senior Brother Rui Ming, use themunication jade slip to contact him.¡± Tie Zhu did not think too much and directly said, ¡°No problem.¡± Watching Senior Brother Tie Zhu leave, Dong Xi used Ground Shrinking to rush toward the central two-story building. Dong Xi had thought that Senior Brother Rui Ming might have been caught and brought here, and that she needed to find a way to sneak in. However, Dong Xi walked around the courtyard and found a bird in the corner. The birdy on the ground, looking very pitiful. Dong Xi had seen Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s original body. Compared to this palm-sized one, Senior Brother Rui Ming was much bigger, but¡­What was happening now? Dong Xi reached out to pick up Rui Ming and found that Rui Ming had lost consciousness. Dong Xi was so frightened that she immediately injected some wood spiritual energy into him. When the healing wood spiritual energy circted a few times in Rui Ming¡¯s body, Rui Ming woke up. Dong Xi immediately left with Rui Ming and found an inn to stay in. She sent Tie Zhu the location. Dong Xi looked at Rui Ming and said, ¡°Senior Brother, what¡¯s going on? You¡¯re in danger as soon as you arrived?¡± ¡°I feel like something¡¯s missing,¡± Rui Ming sighed. ¡°That thing is in the building.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. No wonder Elder Fu Rui had asked Rui Ming toe. It seemed that the item that Senior Brother Rui Ming had lost was extremely important. ¡°Senior Brother, you can tell us. We can search together. It¡¯ll be much faster than you searching alone, right?¡± said Dong Xi. Rui Ming nodded. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Why did you faint just now? Did you fight with someone?¡± ¡°No.¡± Rui Ming shook his head. ¡°You didn¡¯t fight with anyone. I don¡¯t know what happened to you, but you suddenly fainted.¡± Moreover, Rui Ming¡¯s memory was missing. This was also one of the reasons why his cultivation had not improved for many years. ¡°Then do you know what¡¯s missing?¡± Dong Xi frowned. Rui Ming still shook his head. Dong Xi said, ¡°Presumably, Senior Brother is here to find that thing, but this matter needs to be discussed in detail. If Senior Brother wants to take any action, it¡¯s best to let me know.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Rui Ming nodded. ¡­ The two of them had just finished discussing when Tie Zhu ran back. Tie Zhu rushed in anxiously. Seeing that Rui Ming was fine, Tie Zhu immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Little Brother, where did you go? Are you lost?¡± Rui Ming¡¯s face was a little red. He lowered his head and said, ¡°Yes, I got lost.¡± Tie Zhu immediatelyughed. ¡°It¡¯s okay. If we need to buy anything in the future, I¡¯ll go buy it. Don¡¯t run around.¡± As soon as the three of them met, it became lively outside. Dong Xi looked at the closed door, but Tie Zhu had already opened the door and stuck his head out. Tie Zhu shouted towards the outside, ¡°Fellow Daoist, what did you guys talk about? What¡¯s themotion?¡± ¡°Miss Shangguan is throwing the embroidered ball!¡± The person outside said. ¡°What?¡± Dong Xi blinked and said. Throwing embroidered balls?¡± Tie Zhu was indeed the strongest talker in the cultivation world. Tie Zhu directly asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t throwing embroidered balls a gimmick in the mortal world? Howe there are people in the cultivation world who y like this?¡± ¡°Are you all outsiders?¡± asked the person from before. ¡°I can¡¯t really exin it. You should ask someone else, I¡¯m in a hurry to snatch the embroidered ball.¡± ¡­ The originally bustling inn suddenly quieted down, as if people were hollowed out. Dong Xi called the attendant over and gave him a handful of low-grade spirit stones. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Attendant, if you can answer my question, these spirit stones are yours.¡± There were seven or eight pieces of spirit stones. To the attendant, it was a lot! Chapter 396 - 396 Tell Us Everything You Know 396 Tell Us Everything You Know When the attendant saw the spirit stones, he smiled and said, ¡°Dear customer, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know.¡± ¡°Not bad. I¡¯m just curious about who the Young Miss of the Shangguan family is,¡± Dong Xi said with satisfaction. ¡°Why are you still ying such tricks in the mortal world in the cultivation world?¡± The attendant was immediately overjoyed. He could earn so many spirit stones with something that everyone knew. It was a bloody profit! ¡°This isn¡¯t a secret. Everyone in the Void Sea knows about it,¡± said the attendant. It turned out that the Shangguan family¡¯s ancestor was at thete stage of the clone realm, but his wife was a mortal. When he gave birth to his daughter, she died because of a difficultbor process. Unfortunately, the daughter he left behind was also a mortal and did not have spirit root. The Shangguan family¡¯s Patriarch did not want to see the younger generation passing away earlier than the older generation, so he looked around for some treasures to extend his daughter¡¯s life. The Young Miss of Shangguan should be in her forties now, but she still looked like an 18-year-old girl. There were also people who came to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by the Shangguan family. The reason was that the Shangguan Patriarch wanted to find a live-in son-inw for his daughter, so he ended up doing this in the mortal world. In the cultivation world, there was a lot to be said about throwing embroidered balls. Everyone had cultivation. In the end, what was snatched was not only luck, but also cultivation. It was not bad for such a person to be the son-inw of the Shangguan family. As for those who were fighting to be live-in son-inw, their thoughts were very simple. Miss Shangguan was a mortal. Even if she could rely on treasures to extend her life, she would only live for more than a hundred years at most. When Miss Shangguan died, Shangguan Patriarch could only nurture this son-inw. After all, this was his father-inw at the Soul Formation stage who could extend the lives of mortals. If he inherited the mantle, he would definitely have great achievements in the future. When the attendant said this, his eyes lit up. The attendant said, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid that you¡¯llugh at me. When we go outter, I also want to try my luck.¡± Although he knew that his cultivation was not enough, but¡­What if he was lucky? If the attendant was lucky enough to get the embroidered ball, every day would be a good day. Tie Zhu was a little confused when he heard the attendant¡¯s words. Tie Zhu said, ¡°It¡¯s understandable that Shangguan Patriarch doesn¡¯t look at cultivation when choosing a son-inw. But why doesn¡¯t he look at age?¡± ¡°Shangguan Patriarch said that the one who gets the embroidered ball is chosen by the heavens for Miss Shangguan,¡± said the attendant. ¡°No matter what cultivation level or age, the Shangguan family will recognize it.¡± The attendant was getting more and more excited, as if he could really catch the embroidered ball. When Tie Zhu heard this, he looked at Dong Xi and Rui Ming. ¡°Junior Brother, Junior Sister, I¡¯ll go take a look too. Are you guysing?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Dong Xi was silent. What was wrong with this Senior Brother Tie Zhu? ¡°Senior Brother, you also want to snatch the embroidered ball?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°There¡¯s no restriction anyway. It¡¯s fine to try.¡± Tie Zhu nodded. Dong Xi bit her lip and looked helpless. Tie Zhu finally reacted. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister, we¡­ do we have to do anything today?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You can go,¡± said Dong Xi helplessly. Dong Xi had yet to find any clues about the Ice of Extreme Frost. She would wait for more information. After Tie Zhu left, Dong Xi wanted to ask Rui Ming to rest in his room while she went out for a walk. Dong Xi had just stood up when Rui Ming also stood up. ¡°Senior Brother, didn¡¯t I tell you to rest here?¡± Dong Xi frowned. ¡°I don¡¯t trust you,¡± said Rui Ming. Dong Xi tried to persuade him, but Rui Ming refused. In the end, the two of them went out together. Dong Xi wanted to find someone to inquire about the news, but there was no one along the way. Dong Xi and Rui Ming looked at each other. Dong Xi said helplessly, ¡°Hmm¡­ Everyone went to snatch the embroidered ball.¡± Rui Ming¡¯s expression was a bitplicated. Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, what should we do?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look,¡± said Dong Xi after thinking for a moment. There were people in front of the Shangguan family¡¯s door. Dong Xi searched for a long time in the crowd, but she could not find Senior Brother Tie Zhu. Dong Xi had never seen such a scene in two lifetimes. Dong Xi looked at the Shangguan family with interest. The second floor was surrounded by a circle of incandescent stones. There was a redntern on each of the guardrails at a certain distance. It was very festive. A group of maids stood on both sides with flowers in their hands. The entire Shangguan Residence was covered with a blue protective shield, which made everything in the residence seem like a mirage. ¡°No wonder so many people came to join in the fun. If I could be the son-inw of the Shangguan family, I would have worked for a few hundred years less!¡± Dong Xi sighed. As soon as she finished speaking, a pleasant sound of a harp sounded, followed by a melodious flute sound. Apanied by the sound of a pipa, the momentum became louder and louder. Chapter 397 - 397 Willing to Live off a Woman 397 Willing to Live off a Woman At this moment, the crowd also quieted down. Everyone looked at the second floor of the Shangguan Residence. A figure appeared at the end of the corridor. She was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen. However, this figure was enough to make people willingly live off a woman. Just as Dong Xi was about to sigh, Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, I¡¯m going to snatch the embroidered ball too.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± What was going on? Not only one, but both her Senior Brothers were captivated by this beauty? Dong Xi was really regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have called her Senior Sister over instead. These Senior Brothers were too unreliable. It had only been the first day, and the two of them had already been defeated like this? ¡°Senior Brother, do you also think highly of this Miss Shangguan?¡± asked Dong Xi. Rui Ming shook his head. There was no expression of liking on his face. Instead, he frowned and looked miserable. ¡°I feel that the lost item is on this woman,¡± said Rui Ming. Dong Xi¡¯s expression changed drastically. She grabbed Rui Ming and said, ¡°Senior Brother, there¡¯s no need to do this. Things that are lost can be found. If we were to sacrifice our entire lives¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Rui Ming said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We demon beasts have very long lifespans. Not to mention that Miss Shangguan is a mortal, even Shangguan Patriarch, who is in the Soul Formation stage, can¡¯t live longer than me.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± He had a point. Dong Xi stood still, watching Rui Ming Shixiong walk into the crowd with determination. Dong Xi scratched her head. She really could not figure it out. Didn¡¯t they say that the crane race was very loyal and only had one spouse in their lives? She did not know what Senior Brother Rui Ming had lost that he was willing to devote his life to her? Dong Xi pondered for a long time, but there was no result. A slender and handsome man came out. The man said, ¡°Thank you all foring. My daughter has also reached the age of marriage. I have always wanted to find a good son-inw for my daughter so that I can apany her for the rest of my life. It can also help our Shangguan family maintain its reputation¡­¡± As soon as Shangguan Patriarch said that, everyone cheered. Miss Shangguan was beside Shangguan Patriarch. Dong Xi looked at her from afar and felt a little awkward. Everyone in the cultivation world had a deceptive face, and one could not tell their age at all. After saying that, Shangguan Patriarch took the embroidered ball from the maid¡¯s hand and ced it in Miss Shangguan¡¯s hand. ¡°Yun¡¯er, let¡¯s begin,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°Understood, Father,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er softly. Except, this casual sentence had hooked away the hearts of countless young geniuses. Dong Xi could not help but sigh. Unfortunately, this woman was short-lived. Just as this thought appeared in her mind, Dong Xi immediately shook her head. Forget it, Dong Xi was not qualified to say that. People could live for one or two hundred years even if they were short-lived, unlike Dong Xi who had just celebrated her 18th birthday in her previous life¡­ Shangguan Yun¡¯er held the embroidered ball, her long and slender fingers were very fair under the red embroidered ball. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was not interested in this matter, so she threw the embroidered ball casually. Her expression was calm, as if she did not care who could snatch the embroidered ball. Instead, Dong Xi cared a lot, her gaze never leaving the embroidered ball. She also saw that in order to snatch the embroidered ball, everyone disyed their abilities. All kinds of spells wrapped around the embroidered ball. Seeing that someone was about to get it, countless spells would attack. Dong Xi also saw Rui Ming and Tie Zhu among these people. However, with just one look, Dong Xi was sure that her two Senior Brothers would not get it. Dong Xi originally thought that this embroidered ball would be obtained by someone in no time. She did not expect that it was almost evening, and everyone was still fighting for it. Dong Xi yawned as she watched. She then jumped onto the roof opposite the Shangguan Residence and began to meditate. As soon as she closed her eyes, a cry of surprise sounded. Then, a strong wind blew against her face. Dong Xi subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she instantly recalled what Senior Brother Rui Ming had said. Shangguan Yun¡¯er had the item that Senior Brother Rui Ming had lost. Dong Xi raised her hand, and spiritual energy gathered. The Fist of Earth appeared and neutralized the spiritual energy on the embroidered ball. Dong Xi dispersed the spiritual energy and the embroidered ball fell into Dong Xi¡¯s hand. It was unknown what material the embroidered ball was made of, but it was actually not damaged at all after being snatched by everyone. At this moment, Dong Xi was standing on the roof alone. She was wearing a long green robe and had short hair that reached his neck. She really looked like a young man. The scene was silent for a moment. Then, immortal music sounded in Shangguan Manor, and the door slowly opened. Two rows of female servants walked out with flower branches in their hands. Everyone consciously made way for them. The female servants came to the room and bowed to Dong Xi. One of them said, ¡°Master, please enter the residence.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 398 - 398 Master, Please Enter the Residence 398 Master, Please Enter the Residence What arge fanfare. She wondered how Shangguan Patriarch felt about his son-inw¡­ Could the gender requirement not be so rigid? Seeing that Dong Xi was still in a daze, the maids said, ¡°Master, please enter the residence.¡± At this time, Dong Xi was riding a tiger and had no way to back down. If she did not go, it would be pping the Shangguan family¡¯s face. Dong Xi braced herself and came down from the roof. She patted the dust on her clothes and said, ¡°Umm¡­ Go in?¡± ¡°Pleasee in, Master,¡± the maids said. Rui Ming and Tie Zhu saw Dong Xi being brought in and immediately became anxious. What¡­ What is this? Junior Sister¡­ She¡¯s a woman! After Dong Xi entered the Shangguan Residence, the gate closed again. The onlookers then dispersed, leaving behind sounds of regret. Rui Ming and Tie Zhu looked at each other. This matter was a little out of their expectations. ¡°Junior Brother, did Junior Sister¡­¡± Tie Zhu said. ¡°She went in just like that?¡± ¡°I¡¯m also a little confused.¡± Rui Ming shook his head. ¡°What should we do?¡± Tie Zhu asked. ¡°Should we go back now?¡± Rui Ming shook his head and said, ¡°No. When Shangguan Patriarch finds out that something is wrong, Junior Sister will be in danger. I want to stay. Maybe I can help Junior Sister.¡± ¡°If I grabbed the embroidered ball, wouldn¡¯t this have happened?¡± Tie Zhu sighed. ¡°Me too.¡± Rui Ming nodded. Tie Zhu stared at Rui Ming with his eyes wide open. Tie Zhu said in surprise, ¡°You?¡± Rui Ming nodded seriously. Tie Zhu immediatelyughed and said, ¡°Haha, you? You don¡¯t even have hair¡­ Hahaha.¡± When Rui Ming heard Tie Zhu¡¯s words, he frowned and said, ¡°Senior Brother, I have fur all over my body!¡± Tie Zhu, ¡°¡­¡± Tie Zhu could not stopughing. He hugged Rui Ming¡¯s neck and said, ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯re really interesting. Let¡¯s go back first and send a message to Junior Sister. We¡¯ll see what happens.¡± At this time, Dong Xi was alone in the house. The ce was decorated with shells and corals, and the pirs around it were covered with shimmering shark gauze. Dong Xi said in her heart, ¡®Big Snake, save me! Don¡¯t sleep anymore, wake up quickly. Big Snake, wake up quickly. I¡¯ve been waiting for the wind and rain, waiting for you.¡¯ ¡­ There was no response for a long time, and Dong Xi immediately became anxious. What should she do? When Shangguan Patriarches, Dong Xi should just tell the truth. Shangguan Patriarch should not be so unreasonable¡­ Just as Dong Xi was about to give up on herself, Su Cheng¡¯s voice rang in her mind. ¡°Did you get into trouble?¡± Su Cheng asked hoarsely. To Dong Xi, this voice was like the sound of salvation. She quickly sat up straight and said excitedly, ¡°Big Snake, you¡¯re finally awake. If you continue sleeping, I¡¯m going to get a wife.¡± Su Cheng was speechless. ¡°What?¡± Su Cheng asked in confusion. ¡°A wife?¡± How old was this little girl? No, this girl was a woman. How could she marry another woman? Su Cheng was still puzzled when Dong Xi said, ¡°I came here to watch the show, but who knew that the embroidered ball woulde to me? At that time, I thought that Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s things were here, so I caught the embroidered ball. Now that I¡¯ve entered the Shangguan Residence, I¡¯ll immediately enter the bridal chamber¡­ What should he do? If Shangguan Patriarch finds out, can he kill me?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if he dares!¡± Su Cheng said coldly. Hearing Su Cheng¡¯s words, Dong Xi felt much more at ease. It was great to have a backer. ¡°Then I¡¯ll tell the truthter. I don¡¯tw ant to waste Miss Shangguan¡¯s time,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°No need. Didn¡¯t you say that Senior Brother¡¯s things are here?¡± Su Cheng said directly. ¡°Let¡¯s find it first.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Dong Xi said. When Shangguan Patriarches in, won¡¯t he find out that I¡¯m a woman?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t find out,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi was instantly overjoyed. She said, ¡°With your assurance, I can show my skills.¡± This time, Su Cheng ignored her. Footsteps could be heard from outside the house. Dong Xi adjusted her state of mind. Just as she sat down, the door was opened. Shangguan Patriarch entered with two maids. ¡°Good skills, Fellow Daoist,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch with cupped fists. ¡°Senior, you tter me. I¡¯m not even a ten-thousandth as skilled as you are.¡± Dong Xi immediately stood up and bowed. Shangguan Patriarch sized up this youth who was not even as tall as his daughter. No, he could be called a child. ¡°How old are you, Fellow Daoist?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked. ¡°What spirit root?¡± ¡°Junior¡¯s aptitude is dull. I have three spirit roots. There¡¯s no time to cultivate. I can¡¯t even remember how long I¡¯ve been cultivating for,¡± said Dong Xi. This was the art of speech. Only when there was truth and falsehood could one be confused. Shangguan Patriarch nodded. After a moment, he sighed and said ,¡±Forget it, this is all fate.¡± Chapter 399 - 399 Exciting 399 Exciting Dong Xi immediately became alert. Did Shangguan Patriarch acknowledge her as a son-inw? ¡°Little Ya, take this Fellow Daoist to Miss¡¯s room so that she can take a look,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch. Dong Xi pinched the back of her hand nervously, her heart actually started to pound. Umm¡­ They¡¯re about to enter the bridal chamber? How exciting! Dong Xi hade to the cultivation world and married a wife? Awooo¡­ It was too exciting. Shangguan Patriarch saw that Dong Xi was still standing there in a daze and thought that Dong Xi was nervous. Shangguan Patriarch smiled and said, ¡°Fellow cultivator, my daughter is as beautiful as a flower and has a very gentle personality. You don¡¯t have to be nervous.¡± Dong Xi nodded stiffly. Little Ya made an inviting gesture and said, ¡°Master, please follow me.¡± Dong Xi suppressed her excitement and bowed respectfully to Shangguan Patriarch. Dong Xi said, ¡°Junior will take his leave first.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi followed Little Ya and walked along the corridor to Miss Shangguan¡¯s boudoir. Dong Xi rubbed her hands, still feeling a little nervous. Dong Xi¡¯s storage bag also had a third-grade sunflower. He wondered if the beauty would like it. Little Ya sent someone to report. Not long after, a maid came out and said, ¡°Master, Miss invites you in.¡± Dong Xi looked at the door like a lecher. Dong Xi said, ¡°Alright¡­ I¡¯ll go in now.¡± Dong Xi entered the room and carefully sized it up. The window was made of thousand-year-old ice, the bed was made of ten-thousand-year-old incense wood, and the bed curtain was made of a foot-long material that could only be woven by the golden silkworm after ten years of spinning silk¡­ This ce was extremely luxurious. Dong Xi thought of her own cave abode¡­ She suddenly thought that it was a good idea to be a live-in son-inw for the Shangguan family. Shangguan Yun¡¯er sat in front of the dressing table, which was filled with shells and many jewels. The maid held a golden pearl and gestured something in front of Shangguan Yun¡¯er. At this moment, Shangguan Yun¡¯er had already taken off her veil, revealing a face that could topple a country. She was really beautiful, so beautiful that it made one feel pity for her. If Miss Shangguan did not want to return it, Dong Xi thought that living like this was not so bad after all. Dong Xi¡¯s mind was filled with wild thoughts. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Are you the one who snatched the embroidered ball just now?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s voice was as soft and weak as her appearance. Dong Xi raised her head and their gazes met in the mirror Dong Xi was stunned for a moment before she regained her senses. Dong Xi said, ¡°Miss Shangguan, it is me.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er waved her hand, allowing the maid to leave. Shangguan Yun¡¯er stood up and returned to her senses to look at the youth who had be much shorter. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression was a littleplicated. ¡°All of you can leave. I¡¯ll talk to this Fellow Daoist alone,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. The maids in the room nodded respectfully and then walked out of the room. When only Shangguan Yun¡¯er and Dong Xi were left in the room, Shangguan Yun¡¯er started to size up Dong Xi even more brazenly. Dong Xi was a little embarrassed by her stare. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, how old are you this year?¡± ¡°Exactly 132 years old,¡± said Dong Xi after thinking for a moment. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned for a moment before she said, ¡°You don¡¯t look like it at all.¡± Dong Xi did not feel guilty at all. She said, ¡°You can¡¯t judge a book by its cover in the cultivation world. I think Miss Shangguan grew up in the cultivation world, so you should know this very well.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded and did not continue arguing with Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re not from here, are you?¡± Dong Xi nodded. She had just arrived today and had not even changed her clothes. The locals of the Void Sea liked to wear thin shark muslin, and their hair would be decorated with all kinds of shells and feathers. Dong Xi was obviously a foreigner. ¡°Fellow Daoist, if we get married, can you take me to your house?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Why did Miss Shangguan want to go back to visit her inws? Could it be that the father and daughter of the Shangguan family had not reached a consensus? Looking at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s expectant expression, Dong Xi said, ¡°Perhaps¡­Maybe.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Dong Xi was even more confused and said directly, ¡°Miss Shangguan, I¡¯ll ask directly. Didn¡¯t Shangguan Patriarch find a live-in son-inw?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er bit her lip and looked at Dong Xi faintly. Shangguan Yun¡¯ er said, ¡°Are you really willing to be a live-in son-inw?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation. Dong Xi¡¯s heart was in a dilemma for a long time. She said with difficulty, ¡°I¡¯m willing.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er, ¡°¡­¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes reddened as she said, ¡°Forget it. You men are all like this. What is your intention by marrying me? You¡¯re all after my father. You might as well go to my father.¡± Dong Xi had never coaxed a woman before. Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er cry, Dong Xi immediately panicked. Chapter 400 - 400 I Don’t Stink 400 I Don¡¯t Stink Dong Xi hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, ¡°Miss Shangguan, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t stink. I use the cleaning spell three times a day¡­¡± Noticing that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was crying even harder, Dong Xi said in a panic, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯ve thought about it. With your suggestion, marrying Shangguan Patriarch is also possible¡­However¡­ Shangguan Patriarch is not willing.¡± Su Cheng, ¡°?¡± Su Cheng subconsciously released a bolt of lightning. Dong Xi endured it without changing her expression. Shangguan Yun¡¯er, ¡°¡­¡± The atmosphere was good, but Shangguan Yun¡¯er could not cry no matter what. Was this person a fool? Shangguan Yun¡¯er had nothing to say to a fool. Seeing that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was not crying, Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and then smiled. This smile made Dong Xi seem even more foolish. Shangguan Yun¡¯er let out a soft sigh. Looking at Dong Xi who was shorter than her, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said,¡± Forget it. You will be my husband in the future. I only have one request. ¡± ¡°Please tell me,¡± said Dong Xi curiously. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said with a serious expression, ¡°We¡¯re husband and wife in name. You can¡¯t touch me, and we won¡¯t be real husband and wife.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she burst intoughter. If it were any other request, Dong Xi might not be able to fulfill it. However, there was no problem with this request! Even if Dong Xi wanted to do something, she did not have such conditions¡­ Although Dong Xi was very happy, she could not agree to it immediately. ¡°Miss Shangguan, what do you mean?¡± Dong Xi pretended to be in a difficult position. Shangguan Yun¡¯er took a nce at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°You just want to learn from my father. I just want others to take the name of husband and get what they want.¡± After Shangguan Yun¡¯er finished speaking, she saw Dong Xi frowning and looking very troubled. ¡°Are you that impatient?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. ¡°I won¡¯t live for long anyway. When I die, you¡¯ll be able to take over, right? If you really can¡¯t do it, then go out¡­ I¡¯ll just pretend that I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Dong Xi came back to her senses and said, ¡°Miss Shangguan, don¡¯t worry. Although I¡¯m not very capable, if I can get your favor, I will definitely keep my chastity for you.¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s sincere gaze, Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately blushed. Dong Xi left, turning around every few steps. She then went to soak in the bathhouse, happily rubbing herself with flower petals. With her other hand, she sent a message to Tie Zhu and Rui Ming with a jade slip. [Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll bring my beloved wife to see Senior Brother in a while.] When Tie Zhu saw the message, he was very shocked. He quickly sent a voice message and said, ¡°Beloved wife? Junior Sister, are you crazy?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Junior Sister. You¡¯re a girl. How can you get a wife?¡± Rui Ming also sent a voice message. ¡°Who said that women can¡¯t get a wife?¡± Dong Xi said through voice chat. Tie Zhu, ¡°¡­¡± Rui Ming, ¡°¡­¡± These two people were simple-minded. They were rendered speechless by Dong Xi¡¯s words. Rui Ming thought for a moment and continued, ¡°Junior Sister, do you have any difficulties? Do you need my help?¡± ¡°No need. Everything is fine,¡± replied Dong Xi through voice chat. ¡°Junior Sister, have you forgotten what you¡¯re here for?¡± Tie Zhu asked. ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s easier to ask my father-inw for help,¡± said Dong Xi through voice chat. Tie Zhu, ¡°¡­¡± He felt that his worldview was being subverted. ¡­ Shangguan Patriarch sat on the chair and leaned forward slightly. He looked at Little Ya in shock. ¡°Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t chase that person away?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked. Little Ya clenched his fists imperceptibly and said, ¡°Yes, I heard from Little Yue that Miss has already asked the son-inw to wash up. They¡¯re going to consummate their marriage tonight.¡± Shangguan Patriarch was a little speechless. He did not know if he was happy or disappointed. Shangguan Patriarch sighed and said, ¡°Forget it. That¡¯s fine too. Although this Fellow Daoist¡¯s talent isn¡¯t good, he¡¯s still a cultivator. He can take care of Yun¡¯er until she dies. I can rest assured.¡± Little Ya stood where he was with his head lowered. He could not tell what was wrong. Little Ya said respectfully, ¡°Old Master, have you decided?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°You¡¯ll take care of the residence in the future. I¡¯ll leave in three days.¡± ¡°Understood,¡± replied Little Ya respectfully. Shangguan Patriarch had discovered a treasurend some time ago. Only those at the Soul Formation stage and above could enter, but such a ce was extremely dangerous. If he was alone in the Shangguan family, he would definitely go without hesitation. Chapter 401 - 401 Changing Her Words 401 Changing Her Words However, Shangguan Patriarch still had a daughter. Her daughter was a mortal. If Shangguan Patriarch could not return, how could Shangguan Yun¡¯er protect the family business? Those cultivators would probably swallow the Shangguan family alive and eat them clean. Now, he was choosing a husband for Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Although this cultivator might not be reliable, Shangguan Patriarch had nted people in the residence, especially the ambitious Little Ya. In this way, both sides would bnce each other. As long as Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s life tablet was not broken, Shangguan Yun¡¯er would be very safe until he died. After Dong Xi washed up, she was about to return to Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s room when she bumped into her father-inw, Shangguan Patriarch. Dong Xi immediately stopped, a hint of doubt shing in her eyes. What was going on? Father-In-Law wanted to eavesdrop? Was there a need to test her acting skillster? ¡°Shangguan Patriarch.¡± Dong Xi bowed respectfully. Shangguan Patriarch said with a smile, ¡°You still call me Shangguan Patriarch?¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment. Should she change her words? ¡°Father?¡± Dong Xi probed. ¡°Good boy,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch with a smile. Dong Xi obediently moved closer. If he was going to give her money, Dong Xi would immediately ept it. Shangguan Patriarch did not disappoint Dong Xi. He took out a bracelet and handed it to Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°This is a protective treasure. Keep it well. Father needs to go into seclusion in three days. In the future, I¡¯ll leave Yun¡¯er in your care.¡± Dong Xi was ttered and bowed,¡± Father, don¡¯t worry. I will take good care of Yun¡¯er.¡± Shangguan Patriarch smiled and wanted to praise him, but he suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°By the way, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Dong Li,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Dong Li?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked. ¡°The name is not bad.¡± Dong Xi smiled. Shangguan Patriarch patted Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder and inadvertently touched the bracelet Dong Xi wore. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°Dong Li, let¡¯s go back. A night in spring is worth a thousand gold.¡± Dong Xi was pushed back slightly by Shangguan Patriarch. Coincidentally, Shangguan Yun¡¯er opened the door. Dong Xi nced at Shangguan Patriarch and then entered Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s room. What was the meaning of this father and daughter duo? She felt that it was very strange. Once she found out what Senior Brother Rui Ming had lost, Dong Xi would definitely leave immediately. As soon as this thought shed through Dong Xi¡¯s mind, Su Cheng knew. Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Su Cheng said, ¡°You¡¯re not too stupid. I thought you were thoroughly sold, and even started counting the spirit stones you¡¯ll get from this family.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m quite stupid. You¡¯ve already sold me, yet I still helped you count the spirit stones,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°There¡¯s no time to talk nonsense now,¡± said Su Cheng. ¡°Pay attention to that bracelet.¡± ¡°I know,¡± said Dong Xi. Su Cheng suddenly said in surprise, ¡°You know, but you still want to wear it?¡± ¡°You¡¯re here with me, right?¡± Dong Xi said righteously. ¡°You and I will suffer together. What am I afraid of?¡± ¡°You already want to marry Shangguan Patriarch, yet you¡¯re still going to suffer together with me?¡± asked Su Cheng. Dong Xi raised her eyebrows. If she did not know that Su Cheng would be Dong Rourou¡¯sckey in the future, she would have thought that Su Cheng was jealous. Looking at it now, there was only sarcasm. ¡°An old man wants to eat a young grass like me?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°Dream on!¡± Su Cheng was speechless. ¡°Also, what did Shangguan Patriarch do to the bracelet?¡± Dong Xi continued. Su Cheng was afraid of being angered to death by Dong Xi. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s question, Su Cheng said directly, ¡°Shangguan Patriarch has set up a restriction on the bracelet. In the future, you can only listen to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. If you have any thoughts of resisting, your soul will be directly obliterated.¡± Dong Xi immediately let out a cold breath. Dong Xi said, ¡°Tsk tsk¡­ This dog is really ruthless!¡± She had just called him ¡®Father¡¯, but he was so ruthless that he did not even let her reincarnate! Su Cheng saw Dong Xi¡¯s sad face and his mood immediately improved. Su Cheng said, ¡°Shangguan Patriarch is at the Soul Formation stage after all. You¡¯re just an ant in his eyes.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face turned ugly as she said, ¡°How dare you treat me like this? Shangguan Patriarch, please leave. When youe back, I will definitely destroy the entire Shangguan family¡¯s fortune!¡± Su Cheng was speechless. This girl was really useless! Dong Xi did not care about the bracelet and directly entered the inner room. The inner chamber was brightly lit by the fire. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was wearing a red muslin, which made her skin appear even more creamy. Seeing Dong Xi enter, Shangguan Yun¡¯er nced at her with a warning look in her eyes. Dong Xi stood obediently on the spot and did not approach. Looking at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes, Dong Xi also knew that she should not dream of kissing her today. ¡°Yun¡¯er, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll sleep on the floor today,¡± said Dong Xi obediently. Chapter 402 - 402 At Least You Know Your Place 402 At Least You Know Your ce Shangguan Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t wait for Dong Xi to sleep on the bed before she heard Dong Xi say this. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned. After that, Shangguan Yun¡¯er regained her senses and said, ¡°At least you know your ce.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er got up and walked towards the bed, followed by the servant girl Little Yue. After serving the young miss to bed, she nced at Dong Xi. Little Yue frowned and quickly stepped forward. She said in a low voice, ¡°Young Master, please wait a moment. This servant will go and get you another bedding.¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll be fine outside,¡± said Dong Xi. Little Yue was anxious when she heard this. Little Yue said, ¡°No, Young Miss has already told Old Master that tonight is the wedding night. If you go out, how will Young Miss exin to Old Master tomorrow?¡± Dong Xi nced at the bed covered by the gauze curtain. She was certain that this Shangguan Yun¡¯er was not sleeping at all. Who could be so magnanimous that she could sleep with a man who was more powerful than her in the room? Dong Xi retracted her gaze and pretended to sigh, ¡°Young Miss, since you don¡¯t like me, why don¡¯t you reject me directly?¡± Little Yue red at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Young Miss is already giving you a status. Why are there so many questions?¡± Dong Xi sighed softly. This servant girl was quite tight-lipped. ¡°Forget it. You don¡¯t need to get a nket. I¡¯ll just meditate for a night,¡± said Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi directly sat down on the ground. Little Yue was worried that the Young Miss would be alone with Dong Xi, so she stood at the side. ¡°Little Yue, if you stay here, do you think Shangguan Patriarch will think that I¡¯m bringing you to enjoy the wedding night?¡± Dong Xi said helplessly. Little Yue was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. She red at Dong Xi angrily and said, ¡°What nonsense are you spouting!¡± Dong Xi opened her eyes and smiled. ¡°No matter what I do, I¡¯m still the family¡¯s Young Master and a cultivator. Why don¡¯t you try being impudent?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°I can¡¯t touch Shangguan Yun¡¯er, but do you think I can¡¯t touch a little maid like you?¡± Little Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she suddenly had an idea. This time¡­ Could it be that they had invited a wolf into the house? In the end, Little Yue walked out. Young Miss had a protective treasure on her, but Little Yue did not. Moreover, Dong Xi was right. If Little Yue was here, Old Master would definitely be suspicious. Little Yue left the room and closed the door. She turned around and saw Little Ya not far away. ¡°Is Miss already asleep?¡± asked Little Ya. Little Yue nodded. Xiaoya said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll report to the Old Master.¡± Little Yue looked at Little Ya¡¯s back and sighed. ¡­ Dong Xi sat on the ground. She felt that it was a great loss that she could not find any moonlight for the entire night. She could not cultivate with moonlight. However, her current cultivation speed did not seem to be very slow. She did not know if it was rted to the tempering of her meridians previously. After a night, there was finally some movement on the bed. Dong Xi opened her eyes. She saw a slender hand lift the veil, revealing a beautiful face that could topple countries. Dong Xi pursed her lips. She was in a good mood. The ancients were right! Just by looking at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face, one could tell that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had not slept that night. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was only a mortal. Although she looked young, she was already in her forties. The tiredness of not sleeping for a night was apparent on Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face, like a pearl covered in dust. Dong Xi stood up and casually cast a cleaning spell on Shangguan Yun¡¯er to make her look more energetic. ¡°Can¡¯t sleep?¡± asked Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er sat by the bed and shook her head. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°It¡¯s good to be a cultivator. You haven¡¯t slept for a night, but you¡¯re still in such a good state. I¡¯m only a little over 40, but you¡¯re already over 100 years old¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m over 100 years old, yet I¡¯m still living under someone else¡¯s roof. Although my wife¡¯s life is short, she¡¯s still living a life that makes others envious,¡± Dong Xi consoled. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er frowned and said, ¡°What did you call me?¡± ¡°Of course I called you ¡®wife¡¯. In the eyes of others, you¡¯re already my wife,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Forget it,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er with a smile, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, they can rest assured.¡± Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Father doesn¡¯t have to worry anymore, and you can try to rely on me. Maybe I¡¯m more reliable than you think?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er took a nce at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Are you reliable?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Forget it. You only see that I¡¯m doing well on the surface. You don¡¯t know that I¡¯m actually very upset. If you can take me away from here one day, perhaps I¡¯ll think that you¡¯re more reliable.¡± Chapter 403 - 403 Don’t Talk Big 403 Don¡¯t Talk Big ¡°Leave this ce?¡± Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and said. What¡¯s so difficult about that?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er stood up from the bed. Her gauze clothes hung down, revealing her beautiful figure, making Shangguan Yun¡¯er look extremely weak. ¡°Don¡¯t talk big!¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. ¡­ Dong Xi had also changed into a new set of clothes. The aqua blue mermaid gauze made Dong Xi look like a rich Young Master. Her hair was not too long, but it was styled by Little Yue, and there was a blue ice crystal on her waist. Dong Xi looked at the person in the mirror and was slightly stunned. This¡­ Isn¡¯t it a little too simr? It was no exaggeration to say that if Dong Xi held a folding fan at this moment, he would really look like Song Qingfeng. Little Yue saw Dong Xi in a daze and hung thest pearl on Dong Xi¡¯s waist. Little Yue said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Haven¡¯t you had nice things in your life? Be careful when you go out. Don¡¯t lose them. They belong to Young Miss.¡± Without waiting for Little Yue to finish, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Little Yue, don¡¯t be rude.¡± Little Yue suddenly felt a little wronged. She red at Dong Xi and finally lowered her head. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± said Dong Xi indifferently. Dong Xi used the cleaning spell on the two of them again. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, please?¡± After saying that, Dong Xi even raised her eyebrows. She said, ¡°Madam, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m really not a stinky man.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard Dong Xi¡¯s words and saw Dong Xi¡¯s smiling face, she seemed to be bewitched for a moment. She stretched out her hand and ced it in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Shangguan Yun¡¯er suddenly had a strange thought. Dong Xi¡¯s hand was small and soft, and actually looked more like a woman than Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s. Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not have time to think about it before she was brought out by a soft but irresistible force. Today¡¯s sun was just like usual. The bright sunlight shone on Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s body, making Shangguan Yun¡¯er feel as if a lifetime had passed. Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi holding his daughter¡¯s hand and said, ¡°What is it? You want to go out?¡± After saying that, Shangguan Patriarch looked at the bracelet Dong Xi was wearing. Shangguan Patriarch nodded in satisfaction. Dong Xi¡¯s face carried a trace of excitement. No matter how one looked at it, she looked like she wanted to go out and show off. ¡°Why don¡¯t you send someone to bring your two brothers to live in the mansion?¡± Shangguan Patriarch frowned and said. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hands turned cold in an instant, and her heart sank. However, in the next moment, a small hand held onto Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er suddenly felt a wave of warmth. Shangguan Yun¡¯er calmed her mind. Dong Xi still smiled and said, ¡°Father, if you don¡¯t return to your hometown, it¡¯s like traveling at night. Now that I have such a beautiful wife, and she¡¯s still in your territory, I also want everyone to see that they won¡¯t think about my beloved wife in the future.¡± As Dong Xi said that, she looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er affectionately, causing Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s scalp to go numb. Shangguan Patriarch thought for a moment and agreed magically. He said, ¡°Little Ya, you go with Miss and Young Master.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± replied Little Ya immediately. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Little Ya and did not say anything in the end. She was indeed relieved in her heart. Although the sunlight outside the house was hot, it made people yearn for adventure¡­ The first group of people left the Shangguan Residence and headed straight for the inn. Dong Xi did not forget to greet Rui Ming and Tie Zhu, and reminded them to pay attention to the way they addressed each other and not to expose themselves. Although Dong Xi and the others only had seven people, they were being watched by others along the way. Shangguan Yun¡¯er felt a little ufortable and looked at Dong Xi. She realized that Dong Xi was so calm, as if these people¡¯s gazes did not cause any trouble for Dong Xi. If Dong Xi knew what Shangguan Yun¡¯er was thinking, she would definitely show off. What kind of scene was this? The scene of the sectpetition back then¡­ When Dong Xi brought her men to the inn, Tie Zhu and Rui Ming were already waiting at the door. When they saw Dong Xi holding the pretty girl¡¯s hand, their eyes almost popped out. Junior Sister¡­ Was this for real? They¡¯re finished! When they returned to the sect, how were they going to exin to Master Lingxu and Master Yijian? Rui Ming opened his mouth and said, ¡°Junior¡­¡± Then, under Dong Xi¡¯s gaze, Rui Ming reacted and said, ¡°Junior Brother.¡± Dong Xi smiled and introduced them to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, these two are my elder brothers, Ming Zhi and Tie Nan.¡± Rui Ming, ¡°?¡± Tie Zhu, ¡°¡­¡± Did she change our names just like that? But why did Rui Ming¡¯s voice sound so much better? Why am I called Tie Nan? Chapter 404 - 404 Greetings, Elder Brother 404 Greetings, Elder Brother ¡°Greetings, Elder Brother,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er bowed and said softly. Dong Xi continued, ¡°This is my beloved wife whom I mentioned to my two brothers yesterday. She is Shangguan Yun¡¯er. The heavens must have blessed me. I am able to obtain such a beautiful wife because I was able to catch the ball of silk amongst tens of thousands of people¡­¡± Rui Ming looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er and frowned. Rui Ming¡¯s gaze was also a little confused¡­ As Dong Xi spoke, she suddenly saw that something was wrong with Rui Ming. She was shocked and secretly used a Soul Awakening Spell. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother!¡± Only then did Rui Minge back to his senses, and the gaze he gave Shangguan Yun¡¯er became even moreplicated. Shangguan Yun¡¯er also felt an inexplicable closeness to Rui Ming, but because of her identity, Shangguan Yun¡¯ er hid behind Dong Xi to avoid Rui Ming¡¯s gaze. Tie Zhu also noticed that something was wrong with Rui Ming. Tie Zhu gave him a warning re and said, ¡°Today is the first time Junior Brother has brought Madam here. Let¡¯s eat together. Big Brother will treat everyone.¡± Dong Xi nodded. After everyone finished eating, they left. Tie Zhu hugged Rui Ming and said, ¡°Junior Brother Rui Ming, this Miss Shangguan is indeed devastatingly beautiful. You are still young, so it¡¯s normal for you to be unable to extricate yourself. But now, this Miss Shangguan is our Junior¡­ Brother¡¯s wife. If you continue to interfere, you will inevitably be aughing stock.¡± Rui Ming lowered his head and his eyes were chaotic. Tie Zhu was still talking about something when Rui Ming suddenly stood up and said, ¡°Senior Brother, I want to go somewhere.¡± Tie Zhu was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°Where are we going? If you want to snatch the bride, I won¡¯t help you.¡± Rui Ming shook his head and said, ¡°I won¡¯t snatch the bride. I don¡¯t need your help either. Senior Brother, you can stay at the inn. Wait for Junior Sister to contact me. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Tie Zhu¡¯s reaction was slower, and Rui Ming had already walked out. Tie Zhu immediately chased after him, only to see a crane flying into the sky. Tie Zhu¡¯s eyes widened. He suddenly understood why Rui Ming said that his entire body was covered in fur¡­ Speed Wind Crane was very fast. Tie Zhu was a body cultivator, so he could not catch up at all. He ran along the street, and Rui Ming¡¯s figure disappeared. Tie Zhu was furious. He immediately took out hismunication jade slip and sent a message to Dong Xi. [Junior Sister, Junior Brother Rui Ming said that he was going somewhere, then he left me behind and ran away.] Dong Xi sensed that there was a message in themunication jade slip. She noticed that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had stopped and turned to look at the sky. Shangguan Yun¡¯er frowned, a trace of worry on her face. ¡°Husband, did you hear a crane¡¯s cry?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. Dong Xi looked up at the sky and shook her head, ¡°I didn¡¯t hear it.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s an illusion. Let¡¯s go back,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. ¡°Since you¡¯ve alreadye out, why are you in a hurry to go back?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°Madam, don¡¯t you want to walk around?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes lit up. She said, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course. There¡¯s a rouge shop not far away. Shall we go and take a look?¡± said Dong Xi. Women would always understand women. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was instantly overjoyed when she heard Dong Xi¡¯s words. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded. Ever since Dong Xi came to the cultivation world, she had never been to a rouge shop. One must know that Dong Xi had lived for 18 years in her previous life, and her taste had long been fixed. When Shangguan Yun¡¯er was trying colors, Dong Xi could give suggestions on colors and other aspects. Along the way, Dong Xi even used the cleaning spell to remove the rouge on Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face so that she could continue to try the next one. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was holding two types of rouge and did not know which one to choose. Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er so conflicted, Dong Xi went forward and took them all. Under Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s puzzled gaze, Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Since Madam likes them, then buy them all back.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned for a moment before suddenly remembering that over the years, her father had given her a lot of spirit stones. However, Shangguan Yun¡¯er had nevere out, so these spirit stones had no use. Later on, Shangguan Yun¡¯er had somewhat forgotten the use of spirit stones. While Shangguan Yun¡¯er was in a daze, Dong Xi had already paid the spirit stones and bought back the rouge that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had tried on. Little Yue put all of them into her storage bag and followed behind the two of them. She looked at the Young Miss¡¯s happy face and then looked at the Young Master¡­ Suddenly, Little Yue felt that this Young Master seemed to be not bad. His height was not a problem either. Today was probably the happiest day of her life. Not long after the two of them left, Dong Xi whispered a few words to Shangguan Yun¡¯er before leaving alone. Shangguan Yun¡¯er stood still and watched Dong Xi walk to a vendor and buy a bunch of red peaches before handing it to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, try it quickly. You have to eat it fresh. If you eat itter, the sugar on it will melt. It won¡¯t be as delicious as it is now.¡± Chapter 405 - 405 Happy? 405 Happy? Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi, and only after a long time did shee back to her senses. She nodded. Dong Xi held Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Madam, are you happy today?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not think too much and nodded. ¡°Madam, since you¡¯re happy, I¡¯ll bring you out often in the future,¡± continued Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er knew that it was impossible, but¡­ What if he could? The few of them returned to the Shangguan Residence, and only Little Ya was there to wee them at the door. ¡°Where¡¯s my father?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. ¡°Young Miss, Old Master is already in seclusion,¡± Little Ya said respectfully. ¡°Why is he in such a hurry?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er frowned. Little Ya did not say anything, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er said impatiently, ¡°Forget it, you can go back to your work.¡± Little Ya did not leave. She said, ¡°Miss, before Old Master went into seclusion, he told you to remember to take a medicinal bath.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er thought about how painful it was to soak in the medicinal bath every time and immediately frowned. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Little Ya¡¯s tone was a little tough as she said, ¡°Miss, this was arranged by Old Master.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er turned around and left angrily. Dong Xi saw that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was angry and did not give Little Ya a good look. Dong Xi directly turned around and walked in the direction that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had left. When they arrived at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s room, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was currently sitting on a chair and fuming. Dong Xi stepped forward. With a flip of his hand, the third-grade Ardent Yang Flower appeared in his hand. Dong Xi inserted the flower into Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hair. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi, and her eyes were somewhat stunned. ¡°My wife is so beautiful,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Shangguan Yun¡¯er raised her hand and touched her hair. She felt a burning sensation. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was the precious daughter of the Shangguan Patriarch, so she knew that this flower was extraordinary. She just did not expect that this nameless little cultivator would give it to her. Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er staring at her nkly, Dong Xi¡¯s face carried a smile. ¡°Madam, don¡¯t you want to go for a medicinal bath?¡± Dong Xi asked gently. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m not going.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er frowned. ¡°I¡¯ll go in ce of my wife,¡± said Dong Xi Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re taking the medicinal bath in my ce?¡± ¡°Is it possible?¡± asked Dong Xi. For a moment, Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not know if it would work. Dong Xi pretended to be affectionate and said, ¡°As long as Madam is happy, I¡¯ll do anything.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, her frown deepened. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s rationality was not bad. This little husband was not bad and should not suffer. But¡­ Shangguan Yun¡¯er really did not want to go. Soaking in the medicinal bath was painful, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er wanted to leave this kind of lifestyle behind. Dong Xi knew that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was conflicted, so she held Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s body was not in good condition or for some other reason, but her hands were always cold. They felt like a piece of top-quality jade. It was cold, but at the same time warm and nice to the touch. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, you and I are one. Besides, I¡¯m a cultivator, and my physique is better than yours. Perhaps the medicinal bath that you think is painful is veryfortable for me. Little Ya is just a servant. No matter how brave she is, she won¡¯t be able to spy on Madam¡¯s bath. Madam, don¡¯t worry. Of course, if Madam wants to see me take a bath, I will wee it.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s face was not serious. This kind of expression matched with Dong Xi¡¯s face, but it had some of the unruliness of a youth. ¡­ Under Dong Xi¡¯s persuasion, Shangguan Yun¡¯er agreed to let Dong Xi take a medicinal bath on her behalf. Moreover, they had agreed that if Dong Xi felt unwell, she woulde out immediately. At that time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er could also soak it herself. How could Dong Xi miss such an opportunity? Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation method could sense that something good would happen in this medicinal bath. Dong Xi took the pajamas that Madam had prepared and sneaked into the bathroom under the cover of Little Yue. When she entered the bathroom, the fog inside blocked her vision. Dong Xi was relieved. There must be a restriction here that could block divine sense. Dong Xi walked straight in and saw a superrge bathhouse. The surroundings were paved with top-grade spirit stones, which was enough to show that the Shangguan Patriarch had put in a lot of effort. Even if a mortal were to soak in such dense spiritual energy all day long, it would greatly improve their physique. The bathhouse was dark green and thick like ayer of duckweed. Dong Xi squatted down and touched the water with her hand. Then, she sniffed her hand. Dong Xi was now familiar with tens of thousands of spirit herbs. Even so, Dong Xi did not seem to be able to recognize what was in the medicinal bath. Chapter 406 - 406 Drinking 406 Drinking Dong Xi used her spiritual energy to absorb a drop of water from the pond. She circted her spiritual energy in her body and found nothing unusual. Only then did she take off her clothes and jump into the water. Seeing how much Shangguan Patriarch loved his daughter, he should not have done anything bad. This medicinal bath was most likely beneficial to the body. Dong Xi leanedfortably against the steps made of top-grade spirit stones, feeling the vigorous vitality in the pool. She thought to herself, ¡®What a good time to have a drink.¡¯ Since Dong Xi thought so, she naturally had to do so. Dong Xi took out a jar of Green Bamboo Wine and a wine cup and drank alone. Her Dantian was warm, and the Big Snake¡¯s inner core that had been silent for a long time also started to circte slowly. The snake mark on her arm seemed toe alive again, crawling all the way to Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder. The little snake¡¯s head was resting on Dong Xi¡¯s corbone. Dong Xi subconsciously grabbed the little ck snake and threw it into the Demon Beast Bag. Not long after, the little ck snake crawled to her neck again and stuck out its tongue. Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. ¡°Do you want to die?¡± asked Su Cheng. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. Then, she sank into the water and said, ¡°You were the one who peeked at me bathing first.¡± ¡°Peeping at you bathing?¡± Su Cheng said disdainfully. ¡°You¡¯ve peeped at me before too, haven¡¯t you?¡± Dong Xi thought of the Big Snake bathing in the pond in the cave abode. She suddenly swallowed and licked her lips. Dong Xi whispered, ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Although she said that, she was obviously not confident. At this moment, Su Cheng had transformed back into his half-human, half-snake appearance. He sat beside Dong Xi and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Forget it. They were not the same species anyway, so they were not very attracted to each other. Dong Xi felt the energy in the pond surging into the Big Snake¡¯s body. He immediately became anxious. This dog! Now, he actually wanted to snatch resources? Dong Xi did not have the time to drink. She immediately sat down and began to fight with the Big Snake for the energy in the pool. The medicinal bath waspletely consumed in less than two hours. Dong Xi walked out of the pool, her slender figure wrapped in a muslin robe. At this moment, Dong Xi still could not leave. Shangguan Yun¡¯er had said that every medicinal bath wouldst the entire night. When it hurt, she would scream in pain and smash things. Dong Xi cleared her throat and tried to get into a good mood. Then, she shouted at the top of her lungs, ¡°Ah! It hurts! Help!¡± She even knocked over a candlestick¡­ Just as Dong Xi was about to continue shouting, Su Cheng cast a Silence Spell on her. Dong Xi opened her mouth, but there was no sound at all. She clutched her neck and blinked at Su Cheng with a hint of anger on her face. Su Cheng was still in the water. His long hair floated on the surface of the water. After his beautiful face was soaked in water, it made people feel that he was not to be profaned. Of course, Dong Xi did not think so. Noticing that Dong Xi was looking over, Su Cheng cleared his throat and said, ¡°If you keep shouting like that, you¡¯ll be exposed.¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s dissatisfaction, Su Cheng continued, ¡°Would Miss Shangguan be so wild?¡± Dong Xi smiled as if she agreed with Su Cheng¡¯s words. Su Cheng then lifted the Silence Spell. Dong Xi squatted beside Su Cheng and said, ¡°Then what do you think we should do? Big Snake, think of a way.¡± Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi and picked up the half-empty wine ss. Su Cheng said, ¡°Just smash things. If anyonees, tell them to scram.¡± Dong Xi saw Su Cheng¡¯s rxed expression and could not help but think that snakes really liked water! Dong Xi threw and smashed the entire night and scolded two groups of people until dawn. In the morning, she put on the pajamas that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had given her. Su Cheng once again turned into a small snake mark and went to Dong Xi¡¯s arm. ¡°Miss, I¡¯ming in now,¡± Little Yue said from outside. ¡°Come in,¡± said Dong Xi. When Little Yue came in, Dong Xi had already finished cleaning up, leaving the room in a mess. Under the cover of Little Yue, Dong Xi once again returned to Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s room. At this time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was still not awake. Dong Xi stood at the side and looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er sleeping. Just as she was about to leave, she found that the beauty on the bed had woken up. Shangguan Yun¡¯er slowly woke up. When she saw Dong Xi, she immediately sat up. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re back?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said nervously, ¡°Are you alright? Does it hurt?¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no pain at all. Madam, don¡¯t worry. If you don¡¯t want to go in the future, I¡¯ll help you.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt, but Dong Xi did not say anything. Chapter 407 - 407 Not Worth Mentioning 407 Not Worth Mentioning In any case, everyone had secrets, so why bother asking? Dong Xi apanied Shangguan Yun¡¯er for breakfast. Shangguan Yun¡¯er took the initiative to let Little Yue bring Dong Xi to the cultivation room. ¡°You¡¯re a cultivator,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°I¡¯m a mortal. I don¡¯t need to cultivate, but you do. I won¡¯t selfishly interfere with your cultivation.¡± This was Dong Xi¡¯s first time entering the Shangguan Residence¡¯s practice room. Compared to the Ningtian¡¯s Sword Sect, it was naturally not worth mentioning. However, there was also a small-scale Spirit-Gathering Array here, so it could be used. ¡°Husband,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi turned around and saw Shangguan Yun¡¯er taking a storage pouch from Little Yue¡¯s hands. Shangguan Yun¡¯er passed the storage pouch to Dong Xi. ¡°Husband, these Dong Xi are not of much use to me. You can use them,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. Shangguan Yun¡¯er smiled and left with Little Yue. After Shangguan Yun¡¯er left, Dong Xi looked at the storage pouch in her hand. After opening it, Dong Xi was instantly shocked. This¡­ was she considered a mistress? Was this the benefit of marrying into a wealthy family? The storage bag was full of high-grade spirit stones. Dong Xi had only bought some rouge for Shangguan Yun¡¯er, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er had returned with such a huge gift? Dong Xi checked the Spirit-Gathering Array and found that there was an empty slot on it. She casually took a handful of spirit stones and ced them in. The spiritual energy in the cultivation room instantly became much denser. So this was how the Spirit-Gathering Array was used. Dong Xi sighed with emotion. This Young Miss Shangguan was really a good wife. Dong Xi¡¯s Demon Beast Bag lit up immediately, and the two little fellows ran out and sat on the Spirit-Gathering Array. Da Niu did not hesitate and directly started to eat the spirit stones on the spirit gathering array. In the next second, Songsong reacted and quickly grabbed Da Niu back. Songsong said, ¡°Why did you rush forward without even looking? Don¡¯t cause trouble. Otherwise, the Little Xi will disown you.¡± Dong Xi looked at the spirit stone that had already been eaten. Hearing Songsong¡¯s words, Dong Xi could not help butugh. Songsong was also a small little demon beast, and the Bright Bird was very strong. In order to pull Da Niu, Songsong probably used all her strength. Dong Xi picked Da Niu up and handed the spirit stone to Song Song. Songsong was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°This is the reward for Songsong.¡± Songsong was a contented little guy. She held the spirit stone and smiled happily. Songsong said, ¡°Little Xi, you¡¯re so nice.¡± Dong Xi felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Songsong. Shee took out another spirit stone and ced it on the Spirit-Gathering Array. Then, he ced Da Niu back into the Demon Beast Bag and gave him a third-grade spirit nt that did not taste too good. Da Niu did not mind. After all, he was not picky. Dong Xi sat in the Spirit-Gathering Array and looked at Songsong. Dong Xi said, ¡°Songsong, protect me. If anyonees, call me immediately.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Little Xi,¡± Songsong said. ¡°Songsong will definitely do it well.¡± Dong Xi closed her eyes in satisfaction and began to check her body bit by bit. The medicinal bathst night must have been useful. Otherwise, how could the Big Snake, who had such high standards, soak in it for the entire night? Dong Xi checked his body but found nothing. Dong Xi was a little surprised. She was very clear about her body. There was a little change, but¡­ As for what exactly had changed, Dong Xi thought about it for a long time, but still could not figure it out. Dong Xi sighed lightly and did not continue to be conflicted. She simply woke Su Cheng up. ¡°Big Snake, are you asleep?¡± asked Dong Xi. Su Cheng saidzily, ¡°No, I¡¯m not.¡± ¡°Big Snake, what was the effect of the medicinal bathst night?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t I notice anything?¡± After a moment of silence in her sea of consciousness, Su Cheng said indifferently, ¡°There really isn¡¯t any change?¡± ¡°I have a strange feeling, but I can¡¯t find the source.¡± Dong Xi frowned. Su Cheng did not say anything. Then, Dong Xi felt her inner core suddenly be restless. A wisp of green spiritual energy was swimming in her meridians. Although Dong Xi did not understand, she had an inexplicable trust in Su Cheng. When the green spiritual energy spread throughout her body, Su Cheng said again, ¡°Take a look now.¡± Dong Xi hurriedly started to check her body. Dong Xi said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Could it be that your inner core has already fused with me?¡± Su Cheng smiled without saying a word. Dong Xi circted her spiritual energy once. This time, she really discovered it. ¡°My spirit root?¡± asked Dong Xi doubtfully. It seemed a little different. ¡°That¡¯s right. Turns out you¡¯re not too stupid,¡± said Su Cheng lightly. Chapter 408 - 408 Proficient 408 Proficient Dong Xi sensed the spirit roots, but she still could not tell what was different. It was just that she seemed to be more proficient in cultivating. Dong Xi knew that his spirit root value was slowly increasing. However, this time, it seemed to be different from the previous times. Dong Xi did not understand and asked Su Cheng, but this time, Su Cheng did not answer for a long time. In the end, Dong Xi sighed helplessly. Forget it, at least she had benefited from this. At this moment, Dong Xi was like an abyss, absorbing all the spiritual energy in the Spirit-Gathering Array. The spiritual energy in Dong Xi¡¯s body turned purple bit by bit, and finally merged into the spiritual liquid obediently. Dong Xi¡¯smunication jade slip suddenly lit up, and he opened his eyes. Dong Xi did not dare to enter a meditative state in the Shangguan Residence. Otherwise, how could she have woken up so quickly? Dong Xi took out a jade slip and saw that it was a message from Senior Brother Tie Zhu. [Junior Sister, I lost contact with Junior Brother Rui Ming!] Dong Xi was shocked and immediately sent a message. [What did Senior Brother Rui Ming say before he left?] Tie Zhu quickly replied. [He said he was going to look for something, but he didn¡¯t borate. He won¡¯t reply to my message now.] Dong Xi immediately found Senior Brother Rui Ming on the list and sent a message. [Senior Brother, where are you?] However, she still did not receive a reply from Rui Ming. Dong Xi immediately became anxious. Dong Xi stood up and casually waved her hand, retrieving the spirit stones from the Spirit-Gathering Array and putting Songsong back into the Demon Beast Bag. Then, he hurriedly ran out of the mansion. The guards of the Shangguan Residence stopped Dong Xi. Dong Xi frowned and coldly said, ¡°What are you doing?¡± The guard did not dare to offend Dong Xi, but he could not let Dong Xi go out. The guard said, ¡°Young Master, it was Lady Little Ya who said that you and Young Miss cannot go out.¡± ¡°Go and call Little Ya over,¡± Dong Xi said with a cold snort. The guard nodded and immediately went to find Little Ya. Dong Xi stood at the door. No matter how the guards tried to persuade her, Dong Xi refused to leave. She waited for Little Ya to walk over. Little Ya did not let Dong Xi wait for too long and soon arrived at the door. Little Ya was about to exin when Dong Xi said directly, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. My brother is missing. Hurry up and send someone to look for him.¡± Little Ya was stunned. He was really not polite at all. Seeing that Little Ya did not speak, Dong Xi shouted angrily, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I can¡¯t order you around? My brother Ming Zhi has gone missing. Hurry up and find him. If you can¡¯t find him within three days, I¡¯ll hold you ountable.¡± After Dong Xi finished speaking, she turned around and left with an angry expression. Little Ya looked at Dong Xi¡¯s back as she left. A cold light shed in her eyes. Little Ya said, ¡°You really don¡¯t think of yourself as an outsider anymore.¡± ¡°Miss, should we go and look for it?¡± The guard immediately asked. Little Ya¡¯s face was cold as she said meaningfully, ¡°I¡¯m looking for the Young Mater¡¯s elder brother. He¡¯s an honored guest of our Shangguan Residence.¡± ¡­ The news of Dong Xi and Little Ya¡¯s conflict was soon passed to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. As soon as Dong Xi entered the room, Shangguan Yun¡¯er sized her up. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, are you alright?¡± Dong Xi ced her hands behind her back. When she saw Shangguan Yun¡¯er, Dong Xi smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Madam. I¡¯m fine,¡± Dong Xi said. Seeing that Dong Xi was fine, Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s furrowed brows also rxed. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re fine. I¡¯m afraid that Little Ya will target you.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m the master, and Little Ya is the servant. How can a servant target the master? Madam, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Dong Xi noticed that Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression was not right. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Even if she¡¯s against me, it doesn¡¯t matter. I still have Madam to help me.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression changed. She said, ¡°Husband, do you want to go out?¡± Dong Xi nodded and frowned. She said helplessly, ¡°My brother is missing, so I¡¯m a little anxious.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, the image of that silly youth suddenly appeared in her mind. Her heart also began to feel uneasy. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Who is it?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s Brother Ming Zhi. He went missing right after we left yesterday. Senior Brother Tie Nan searched for him for a whole night, but he still couldn¡¯t find him. He had no choice but to contact me. We just arrived at the Void Sea, and Brother Ming Zhi¡¯s cultivation isn¡¯t high either. I¡¯m afraid that he might encounter some danger outside.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er also became anxious when she heard this. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s look for him together. Father is in seclusion. I don¡¯t believe that Little Ya will dare to stop me.¡± Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er like this, Dong Xi immediately stopped Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madamm, Little Ya has already agreed to send someone to look for her. Let¡¯s not be anxious. There are many people in the residence that can help search for him. I think we will be able to find him very soon.¡± Chapter 409 - 409 Warm-Hearted? 409 Warm-Hearted? Shangguan Yun¡¯er was very surprised when she heard Dong Xi¡¯s words. In the end, she sat down again and said with a deep meaning. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this Little Ya to be so warm-hearted.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Dong Xi had been waiting for news of Little Ya. If the Shangguan family could not find her, it would be even more difficult for Dong Xi to find her alone. But what Dong Xi did not expect was that the first message she received was not from Little Ya and Tie Zhu, but from Rui Ming. Dong Xi saw that it was Rui Ming¡¯s name that had lit up. Dong Xi was excited and immediately opened it to check. Rui Ming had sent a message. [Junior Sister, I¡¯m in a Secret Realm.] Just as Dong Xi was about to ask if there was any danger, Rui Ming sent another message. [I saw your father-inw here.] ¡°?¡± Shangguan Patriarch went to a Secret Realm? Was closed-door cultivation fake? What kind of Secret Realm did he have to hide like this? Dong Xi immediately sent a message. [Senior Brother, protect yourself. Don¡¯t interfere with him. Where is the Secret Realm? Was it dangerous? When is Senior Brothering back?] Rui Ming quickly sent a message. [The Secret Realm is under a small ind in the north of the Void Sea. It¡¯s a little dangerous, but I can still protect myself. It¡¯s hard to say when I¡¯ll go back. I¡¯ll go back when I find what I¡¯m looking for.] Was he looking for something? Dong Xi frowned. Shangguan Yun¡¯er had what Rui Ming was looking for, but he was also looking for it in this Secret Realm? What is it? Why are they scattered everywhere? Dong Xi was sure that everyone had secrets, but Senior Brother Rui Ming had more secrets than anyone could imagine. Dong Xi sent a message. [Senior Brother, do you need help?] Rui Ming replied. [No need. It¡¯s very dangerous here. Don¡¯te over.] In the end, she calcted that there were many variables in Rui Ming¡¯s n, so it was still safe for now. Dong Xi did not dare to act rashly when he saw this divination. There were so many variables, and Dong Xi definitely could not be a variable which made it even moreplicated for Elder Brother. Putting away the pen and paper, Dong Xi turned around and saw Shangguan Yun¡¯er standing beside her. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi¡¯s handwriting. Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked curiously, ¡°Husband, what is this?¡± Dong Xi saw that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was very curious. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Arithmetic. I just wrote it down casually.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked curiously, ¡°¡±Arithmetic? Is it for fortune telling?¡± ¡°You can say so.¡± Dong Xi nodded. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes were filled with envy. She said, ¡°Cultivators are really good. They can live for a long time and learn a lot, unlike me¡­¡± As she spoke, Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression dimmed. Dong Xi looked at the dejected beauty, then at the pen and paper in her hand. She suddenly thought of something. ¡°Husband,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Only then did Dong Xi regain her senses. Looking at Shangguan Yun¡¯er, Dong Xi revealed a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve thought of it, Madam. You¡¯re saved,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face was filled with astonishment as she looked at Dong Xi in puzzlement. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, why do you say that? Aren¡¯t I fine now? My days are also very good. Why do you say that I¡¯m saved?¡± Dong Xi was still smiling. She said, ¡°Madam, do you want to be a cultivator too?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to recover. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said in disbelief, ¡°You¡­ what did you say?¡± ¡°Madam, do you want to be a cultivator?¡± Dong Xi asked again with a smile. ¡°Of course I do. How could I not?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said with a bitter smile. Being born in the cultivation world and bing a mortal is better than being born in the mortal world.¡± Dong Xi naturally knew that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had a belly full of grievances. Who would want to be a mortal when they saw others moving mountains and filling seas? ¡°Who said mortals can¡¯t cultivate?¡± Dong Xi asked again. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t even have a spirit root. How can I cultivate? Husband, don¡¯t make fun of me.¡± Dong Xi thought about how Dong Rourou would enter the Dao through martial arts a few yearster. Before that, Dong Rourou was also a mortal. Other than martial arts, there were also people who sought the taste of the world and entered the path through food. There were many paths to the Great Dao. There was no need to just stare at one path until it was dark. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er and said seriously, ¡°There was an old man in Xiangshan who liked to drink wine and entered the Dao with wine. He was called the Wine Immortal. There was a chef in the mortal world who searched for the taste of the world and entered the Dao with food¡­Which of these seniors isn¡¯t proficient in a Dao and have studied it deeply, eventually attaining a Great Dao? Why don¡¯t Madam try this method as well?¡± Chapter 410 - 410 What Can I Do? 410 What Can I Do? When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, she became more and more confused. She stood rooted to the ground. After a long time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°But¡­What can I do?¡± Dong Xi pulled Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Madam, you can take your time to think about it. The great path cannot be achieved overnight. You can only take big strides forward after you have chosen the path.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er seemed to have listened to Dong Xi¡¯s words. Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded her head, no longer at a loss even though it waste at night. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi pulling her hand, Shangguan Yun¡¯er felt a little strange in her heart. In the past, Shangguan Yun¡¯er would reject even Little Ya¡¯s touch, let alone men. But this time, it was extremely strange. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was actually able to ept Dong Xi holding her hand? Why? Was it because Dong Xi treated her very well? Or was it because this hand was soft, just like a girl¡¯s hand, and it was very nice to hold? Shangguan Yun¡¯er was puzzled. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Madam, what are you good at?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment. Then, she said hesitantly, ¡°I think that painting is not bad.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er said this, she sounded a little unconfident. No one had ever taught Shangguan Yun¡¯er how to draw. Everyone knew that her father loved her dearly, but they did not know that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was now in her forties. Twenty years had already passed since her father had gone into seclusion twice. In these forty years, in order to protect Shangguan Yun¡¯er, Shangguan Yun¡¯er never left the house. Painting was only Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s pastime when she was bored. Other than Xiao Yue, no one had seen Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s painting, and no one said that Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s painting was very good. Hearing Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s words, Dong Xi said, ¡°madam, can you draw something? May I admire it?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded and asked Little Yue to bring a brush and ink. Seeing that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was about to draw, Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Madam, shall we go to the courtyard to draw? I wonder if I can be the person in Madam¡¯s painting?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked into Dong Xi¡¯s eyes and felt a little warm in her heart. This was the first time someone had paid so much attention to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°Sure,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er smiled and said. Dong Xi held a fan in her hand as she stood among the flowers. Her eyes were burning as she looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Shangguan Yun¡¯er stood in front of the drawing board, especially focused. Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er like this, Dong Xi suddenly felt that Shangguan Yun¡¯er might really be walking down this path. When Shangguan Yun¡¯er was painting, she was always alone. Dong Xi took advantage of Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s painting and circted her spiritual energy for two weeks. Dong Xi had the wood spirit root, so she was even more suitable to stand among the flowers. After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er suddenly put down her brush. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°I¡¯m donoe.¡± Only then did Dong Xi stop circting her spiritual energy and walk to Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s side. There were a few brushes hanging on the drawing board. The tips of the brushes were stained with various colors of ink. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hands and hands were also stained with some, but Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not care. Her face was filled with joy. ¡°Husband, my drawing isn¡¯t very good. I¡¯m sorry to make a fool of myself,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi went forward to take a look and was instantly stunned on the spot. This¡­ Was it bad? In the painting, Dong Xi stood among the flowers with a fan in his hand. Even the wind blowing her hair and her eyes were vividly drawn. Dong Xi did not know how to evaluate this. Dong Xi did not know much about art appreciation, but she knew herself. In this painting, Dong Xi¡¯s charm was simply one of a kind. More importantly, Dong Xi felt that she looked a little like Senior Brother Song Qingfeng in the painting. Could it be because of the fan? Shangguan Yun¡¯er saw that Dong Xi did not speak for a long time and thought that it was because the painting was not good. She was immediately disappointed. ¡°Husband, if you don¡¯t like it, I won¡¯t continue painting it,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. As he said that, he told Little Yue to put away the painting. Dong Xi quickly snatched the painting and put it away. ¡°No, you have to!¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°This is a gift from Madam. Why don¡¯t I like it? It¡¯s just that the painting is too good. I¡¯m a little stunned by the painting. Madam, please don¡¯t me me.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard these words, she immediatelyughed. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, do you really think that my drawing is very good?¡± Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°It¡¯s not that I think so. It really is great. I don¡¯t need to tter you. Your abilities are obvious, Madam.¡± ¡°You¡¯re saying such nice things. How can I be that good?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. Finishing, Shangguan Yun¡¯er turned around and left. Dong Xi immediately left with her. Little Yue called the others over and put away the drawing board. Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun¡¯er had already returned to the room. Shangguan Yun¡¯er sat down and looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er sighed lightly and said, ¡°I know you¡¯re just saying nice things. How can I be that good? I¡¯m just casually painting¡­¡± Chapter 411 - 411 Confidence 411 Confidence Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s absent-minded appearance and suddenly understood. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s drawing was very good. Whether it was the mission or the scenery, they were all vivid. Why could she not step into the Dao? Mainly¡­ It was Shangguan Yun¡¯er whocked vital confidence. If Shangguan Yun¡¯er was unable to approve of her own painting, how could it be approved by the Heavenly Dao? Dong Xi stood up and held Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam,e with me.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was a mortal. By the time she reacted, she had already been brought out by Dong Xi. ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked in confusion. ¡°Madam will know soon,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er followed Dong Xi out the door. The servants of the Shangguan Residence stopped the two of them. Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°Move aside.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make things difficult for us, Young Master,¡± said the servant. ¡°Making things difficult for you?¡± Dong Xi said coldly. ¡°Let me ask you, is it Father-In-Law who doesn¡¯t want us to go out, or is it Little Ya who doesn¡¯t want us to go out?¡± The servant hesitated and said, ¡°Umm¡­¡± Dong Xi looked at the servant and knew. Dong Xi said, ¡°You¡¯re servants. Do you still want to control where your master goes? Who gave you the guts? Get lost!¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, the guard immediately hesitated. Dong Xi knew that if she did not act tough, she might end up like Shangguan Yun¡¯er in the future, imprisoned in this mansion. If that was the case, it would be too passive. Dong Xi angrily waved her sleeves. How could the guard be a match for Dong Xi? The guard immediately took a few steps back. Taking advantage of this moment, Dong Xi took Shangguan Yunrui and walked out. Dong Xi only stopped when she saw that no one was chasing after her. Dong Xi turned her head and saw Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes sh with excitement. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve made it out. It¡¯s good to be a cultivator,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°Madam, if you want toe out next time, call me, I¡¯ll bring you out,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Although Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation was not very high, no matter what, Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun¡¯er were the masters. The guards did not dare to do anything to the two of them. ¡°Alright!¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said happily. Dong Xi brought Shangguan Yun¡¯er and quickly walked forward. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, where are we going?¡± ¡°Madam, you¡¯ll know soon enough,¡± said Dong Xi. On the first day Dong Xi arrived at the Void Sea, in order to find Rui Ming, she had practically explored the entire ind. Therefore, Dong Xi was more like a local than Shangguan Yun¡¯er who had nevere out before. The two of them walked to a house made of sand and shells. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said in surprise, ¡°Art gallery?¡± ¡°Madam, you always feel that your paintings are not good enough.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll show you other people¡¯s paintings. Byparing them, we¡¯ll know whether they¡¯re good or bad.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not object and allowed Dong Xi to bring her in. Shangguan Yun¡¯er also wanted to know how the others were doing. Was her painting as good as Dong Xi said? The two of them were dressed in the same color. As soon as they entered, the waiter weed them warmly. The waiter said, ¡°You two siblings, do you want to buy a painting?¡± Dong Xi shook her head. The waiter was stunned and somewhat puzzled. Why were they here if they were not buying paintings? ¡°We¡¯re not siblings. This is my wife,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°?¡± Wife? She did not look like it at all. When the waiter came back to his senses, he said, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. Please forgive me. I didn¡¯t see it.¡± Dong Xi did not me him. Instead, she looked around the art gallery and said, ¡°These are all ordinary goods. They aren¡¯t worthy of our appreciation. Take out your signature treasure and let my wife take a look.¡± The waiter saw that the two of them were unfamiliar faces. This Madam¡¯s appearance was very outstanding, and her appearance and dressing also looked like someone from the Void Sea. The waiter remembered that the youngdy of the Shangguan family seemed to have just gotten married two days ago. The waiter immediately became respectful. ¡°Alright, distinguished guests, please follow me to the inner room,¡± said the waiter. Dong Xi held Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand and the two of them sat on the chairs. The waiter immediately brought tea. Not long after, a few maids came over with two paintings. A steward followed behind him. The steward came in and bowed respectfully. ¡°Honored guests, this is the treasure of our art gallery.¡± ¡°Open it, let¡¯s take a look,¡± said Dong Xi casually. The steward immediately gave the maid a look, and the maid understood and opened the scroll. One was of flowers and birds, and the other was of a painting of a Celestial Fairy mending the sky. The paintings were not bad. Dong Xi could see that there was spiritual energy in these two paintings. Chapter 412 - 412 Power of Laws 412 Power of Laws The first painting had some vitality, while the other one seemed to contain some the Power of Laws. It could be seen that the artists of these two paintings were not ordinary people. Just by looking at the strength of the brush, these two people¡¯s drawing skills were not as good as Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was only a mortal, so she could not see the level of spiritual energy. Shangguan Yun¡¯er only felt that these two paintings were pretty good. As for what was good about them, Shangguan Yun¡¯er could not say. From the details, it seemed that Shangguan Yun¡¯er wasn¡¯t too bad. It had to be said that Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s confidence increased a little after seeing the painting. ¡°We¡¯ll take these two paintings,¡± said Dong Xi. The waiter eyes lit up when he heard this. He did not even ask for the price and directly said that he wanted it. This was simply a sucker! ¡°Alright, wrap it up for the two distinguished guests,¡± said the waiter. ¡°How many spirit stones in total?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°It¡¯s not much, just five top-grade spirit stones,¡± said the waiter with a smile. To be honest, this price was indeed nothing to Shangguan Yun¡¯er and Dong Xi. But now, Dong Xi already had the habit of bargaining. Dong Xi subconsciously frowned and said, ¡°Five top-grade spirit stones? It¡¯s too expensive. Three spirit stones.¡± The steward was stunned for a moment and then said, ¡°Immortal Master, we can¡¯t sell it at the price you mentioned!¡± Hearing Dong Xi haggling, Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi in surprise. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was in her forties. This was the first time she had seen someone haggle. ¡°What can¡¯t I sell?¡± Dong Xi said indifferently. ¡°Your price can fool outsiders. I¡¯ve traveled far and wide. What haven¡¯t I seen?¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, the steward¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He said, ¡°Immortal Master, please take a look and add a little more. If I really let you buy it with three top-grade spirit stones, I won¡¯t be able to exin it to our boss.¡± ¡°Manager, do you know why this painting can be regarded as the treasure of the shop?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. ¡°Is it because you couldn¡¯t sell it? Even if I have five top-grade spirit stones, I won¡¯t be interested in the weakw energy in this painting. Only I am willing to buy it back to make my wife happy. If you ask for such a sky-high price, I¡¯ll forget about this deal.¡± The two of them bargained for a long time. In the end, Dong Xi agreed to pay an additional 200 high-grade spirit stones before buying the painting. Dong Xi took out Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s painting and said, ¡°Take a look at this painting. How is it?¡± The waiter knew that the person in the painting was this Immortal Master. Without decades of brush skill and strength, it was impossible for such a painting to be produced. The waiter looked carefully for a long time and said, ¡°I wonder who painted this painting. The most valuable thing about it is thebination of reality and illusion. The face in this painting is so real, and the clothes are indeed like an illusion. They blend perfectly with the background. The person in the scene warped the scene entirely¡­¡± When Dong Xi heard these words, she looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er with a smile. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face was slightly red. Dong Xi kept the painting and said, ¡°This is my wife¡¯s drawing of me. Isn¡¯t it amazing?¡± The waiter was speechless. Old people really could not understand the interest of this young man. ¡°Impressive!¡± said the waiter. Dong Xi was listening to the waiter praise Dong Xi. At this time, Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. ¡°You¡¯re really generous. You took my spirit stones to please other women,¡± said Su Cheng. The corners of Dong Xi¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as he replied to Su Cheng in his sea of consciousness. Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s not just any woman, okay? This is my wife!¡± ¡°Wife?¡± Su Cheng asked. ¡°Do you really think of yourself as a male?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so stingy, Big Snake,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Of course, I have my reasons for doing this.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er had lived for more than forty years, how could she be broken by such a small favor? Shangguan Yun¡¯er was Yao¡¯s husband, and Dong Xi was Yao¡¯s borrowed power. Both of them took what they needed. If Dong Xi was able to help Shangguan Yun¡¯er step into the Dao, she would have a great opportunity as a stepping stone. It would also open a convenient door for Dong Xi to handle matters in the Void Sea in the future. Shangguan Yun¡¯er took the painting and walked out with Dong Xi. When no one was around, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, why did you buy these two paintings? If you like it, I¡¯ll just draw a few more of you in the future.¡± Dong Xi came forward and smiled brightly. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ll buy it and show it to Madam. If such a painting can be the treasure of the shop, wouldn¡¯t Madam be the treasure of the shop?¡± Chapter 413 - 413 Go Back 413 Go Back Shangguan Yun¡¯er smiled shyly. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°You always say nice things.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Dong Xi had brought Shangguan Yun¡¯er out. If they went back now, who knew what the consequences would be? The two of them returned to the Shangguan Residence. When the guard saw the two of them return, he immediately reported it to Little Ya. Dong Xi looked at the guard holding the jade slip. She ignored him and brought Shangguan Yun¡¯er back to her room. ¡°We¡¯ll hang this painting in Madam¡¯s roomter, so you¡¯ll see it more often,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded and agreed. In the room, Shangguan Yun¡¯er gave the painting to Little Yue and asked her to hang it up. Dong Xi watched as Little Yue took the painting and walked out. Dong Xi said in a low voice, ¡°Madam, these two paintings are not bad. When you have nothing to do, you can look at them more.¡± Dong Xi originally wanted to say that these two paintings were painted by a Fellow Daoist who had entered the Dao through painting, but she was afraid that if she said it out loud, Shangguan Yun¡¯er would go into a dead end. It was better to let nature take its course. Shangguan Yun¡¯er would look at the painting every day and draw every day. Perhaps she would be able toprehend it sooner orter. Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door. Little Yue ran back with the painting in her hand. She bowed slightly and said, ¡°Young Miss, Young Master, Little Ya is here.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er frowned. Dong Xi said, ¡°We¡¯re not going to see her.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned. She turned around and looked at Dong Xi in surprise. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s surprised expression and said, ¡°Little Ya is a servant. Since she¡¯s here, do I still have to see her? Let Little Ya go back and wait. I¡¯ll see when I want to see her.¡± Little Yue was speechless. Little Yue looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er with a troubled expression. After all, in the past few decades, every time the Old Master went into seclusion, Little Ya was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion. However, this time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er stood beside Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Go and tell Little Ya that I won¡¯t see her!¡± When Little Yue heard this, she said excitedly, ¡°Yes, Miss.¡± Little Ya heard that Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not want to see her, and she was instantly stunned on the spot. This had never happened since the Young Miss spoke. Someone must have taught the Young Miss to say behave like this. It must be the so-called Young Master! Little Ya¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. She did not know what the Old Master was thinking. He actually threw an embroidered ball to pick a husband for the Young Miss, and found such a bad guy. If Little Ya had married the Young Miss, none of this would have happened. Little Yue watched Little Ya leave. Little Yue excitedly returned to the room and vividly described Little Ya¡¯s expression when she left. Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun¡¯er were even more delighted. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°This is also a way to kill Little Ya¡¯s prestige. This is the first time I¡¯ve felt so happy in decades!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and said, ¡°Madam, if you don¡¯t want to do anything in the future, don¡¯t do it. You don¡¯t have to look at the servants¡¯ expressions.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded excitedly, her eyes sparkling. ¡°Madam, do you want to draw a picture as a memento?¡± Dong Xi continued. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned for a moment. Previously, she only drew one painting a day. Why was she drawing again today? However, hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not feel disgusted. After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Since Husband said I should draw a memento, then I¡¯ll draw one.¡± ¡°Miss, be careful with your hands, ¡± Little Yue said immediately. ¡°You¡¯ll get calluses if you hold a brush for too long.¡± Little Yue had just said that when she felt a thorn behind her. Little Yue turned around and saw Dong Xi¡¯s sharp re. Dong Xi stretched out her hand and ced it in front of Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°So what if there are cocoons?¡± asked Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at the calluses on Dong Xi¡¯s hands and instantly understood that these were left behind by her sword practice. Shangguan Patriarch also practiced swordsmanship and had the same calluses on his hands. Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er staring at her hand, Dong Xi said seriously, ¡°Madam, you will only get what you give. I think you should know what I mean. You can make your own choice.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er thought of the possibility of stepping into Dao and her heart skipped a beat. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°I want to draw.¡± Dong Xi then smiled and said, ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t disturb Madam.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi walked out of the room and went straight to the practice room. However, she did not expect to see Little Ya at the door of the training room. Dong Xi did not stop and walked over directly. As soon as they arrived at the door of the training room, Little Ya bowed respectfully and said, ¡°Young Master.¡± Only then did Dong Xi stop. She nodded lightly and opened the training room. This attitude made it seem as if Little Ya was just a servant here and did not need to take it to heart at all. Chapter 414 - 414 Who Let You In? 414 Who Let You In? Little Ya gritted her teeth and walked into the training room. As soon as he entered the door, a ball of mes attacked him. Little Ya immediately stopped. Dong Xi said, ¡°Who let you in?¡± Little Ya frowned. Just now, when Dong Xi attacked, Little Ya could feel that Dong Xi was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage. It was also still very weak. The problem was that Dong Xi was the Son-Inw acknowledged by Old Master and Young Miss, so Little Ya did not dare to make a move easily. Little Ya stood at the door sullenly. Little Ya said, ¡°Young master, I have something to discuss with you.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Can we talk inside?¡± Little Ya asked. ¡°Forget it,e in,¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment and said. Dong Xi stood in ce and watched Little Ya walk in ande to her side. Little Ya was very tall. He was more than a head taller than Dong Xi. Cultivators in the cultivation world were generally higher because their bodies were nourished by spiritual energy all year round. The male cultivators were all over 1.9 meters tall. The Big Snake was much taller because it used his tail to support his body when he walked. The female cultivators were also tall and slender. Even Shangguan Yun¡¯er, a mortal, was more than 1.7 meters tall. Dong Xi was very envious. Now that Dong Xi was speaking with her head raised, her imposing manner was much lower. Dong Xi sighed helplessly. She was already growing fast, but she was only a little over 1.6 meters tall. He wondered when she would be able to grow taller. In her previous life, Dong Xi was malnourished and was only 1.65 meters tall. In this life, she should not be that short, right? Dong Xi sorted out her mind and said, ¡°Tell me, what is it? Why are you still so mysterious?¡± ¡°Young Master,¡± Little Ya lowered his head and said, ¡°Madam is not a cultivator. She is a mortal. I think you know that, right?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Little Ya continued, ¡°Since you already know, why did you still take the Young Miss out of the mansion? If anything happens outside¡­¡± Dong Xi looked at Little Ya¡¯s worried face and said impatiently, ¡°My wife is indeed a mortal, but she¡¯s not a prisoner. What¡¯s the point of going out? If he can¡¯t even protect his daughter at home, then wouldn¡¯t my father-inw¡¯s Soul Formation stage cultivation be in vain?¡± ¡°How bold of you!¡± Little Ya immediately shouted. Dong Xi did not think much of it and continued, ¡°I¡¯m indeed bold. If Father-In-Law was here, I would still say the same thing. Fellow Daoist Little Ya, you don¡¯t have to shout. Just because you¡¯re loud doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re right. I¡¯m not afraid of you. If my wife wants to go out in the future, I¡¯ll still bring her out.¡± Little Ya saw that Dong Xi was calm andposed. Suddenly, a strange thought appeared in Little Ya¡¯s mind. This Young Master was so confident. Could it be¡­ Which reclusive family was he from? Looking at Dong Xi¡¯s calm temperament, the more he thought about it, the more simr it was. Little Ya, who was already a little afraid, did not dare to do anything now. Little Ya frowned and said, ¡°Young Master, this is the Shangguan Residence, not the Dong Residence. Since you are the Young Master of the Shangguan family, you must follow the rules of the Shangguan family. Don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡± Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Little Ya. Dong Xi said, ¡°Previously, when I brought Madam out, Father-In-Law agreed. Now that Father-inw is in seclusion, if he wasn¡¯t, he would definitely agree to let us out. Fellow Daoist Little Ya, I advise you not to meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Little Ya frowned even more. Seeing Little Ya¡¯s expression, Dong Xi smiled and continued, ¡°What kind of spirit root does Fellow Daoist Little Ya have?¡± Little Ya was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Dong Xi to change the topic so quickly. Little Ya said honestly, ¡°Water¡­Wood spirit root.¡± At this moment, Dong Xi also discovered that most of the cultivators on this ind had water spirit roots. ¡°Your aptitude is quite good,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just so-so,¡± replied Little Ya. ¡°Fellow Daoist Little Ya, would you like to spar with me?¡± Dong Xi asked. Little Ya stood on the spot and looked at Dong Xi. his eyes were filled with surprise. Previously, he wanted to deal with Dong Xi, but he did not have the chance. Now that Dong Xi had delivered herself to his doorstep, no one could not me him for going overboard. ¡°Sure, Young Master!¡± Little Ya immediately said. Dong Xi had also encountered a water spirit root cultivator in the previouspetition. The water spirit root¡¯s attack power was not very strong, but it was a particrly good support spirit root. Dong Xi did not know what cultivation level Little Ya had, but she was the Young Master, and there was also the Big Snake. Dong Xi naturally had nothing to fear. Dong Xi made a gesture and saw Little Ya take out his sword. ¡°A sword cultivator as well?¡± asked Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi also took out an ordinary iron sword. This was something that Dong Xi had asked Xiao Han to help choose when she left Qinan City. Although it could notpare to his own sword, it was still a rare high-grade artifact. It had overdrawn Dong Xi¡¯s quota for a month. Chapter 415 - 415 Sparring With Sword Techniques 415 Sparring With Sword Techniques ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯spare notes on sword techniques,¡± said Dong Xi. When Little Ya saw Dong Xi also take out a sword, she was slightly surprised. Clearly, she did not expect that Dong Xi was also a sword cultivator. Little Ya originally wanted to discover Dong Xi¡¯s identity through his sword moves, but he did not expect that Dong Xi would only use basic shes and normal thrusts from the beginning. When Little Ya started to attack, Dong Xi¡¯s sword moves changed. They were faintly simr to Little Ya¡¯s sword moves. ¡°You¡¯re just imitating!¡± Little Ya snorted coldly. Dong Xi smiled, and her hand movements became even more fierce. Dong Xi said, ¡°The so-called sword technique is the same. What you and I have learned is not all about form. What¡¯s the difference? Fellow Daoist Little Ya, your words are a bit superficial.¡± Little Ya frowned. He wanted to retort, but he felt that Dong Xi¡¯s words made sense. Little Ya could only continue to attack gloomily. Little Ya sensed that the Young Master¡¯s cultivation was inferior to his. However, for some reason, Little Ya seemed to be suppressed during the duel. He could only use 30 percent of her skills. This made Little Ya certain that this Young Master had arge faction behind him. After all, not everyone had a treasure that could suppress their cultivation. From this, it could be seen that this Young Master had a high status in the family. Little Ya thought that he could take care of Dong Xi with easy, but he did not expect that the two of them would fight for more than an hour and still not be tied. The servants of Shangguan Residence found Yue Yue and whispered a few words to Little Yue. Little Yue¡¯s expression changed drastically and she immediately entered Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s room. Little Yue said, ¡°Miss, it¡¯s not good. Young Master and Little Ya are fighting!¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand trembled, and the ink dripped onto the paper. ¡°What did you say?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er turned around and asked. Little Yue immediately said, ¡°You¡¯d better go and take a look. Little Ya is at the perfected Golden Core stage. Young Master should¡­ not be able to defeat him.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, her brows rxed. ¡°No need to rush,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Little Ya had be a touchstone at this time. She could let Shangguan Yun¡¯er know what her husband was capable of. Little Yue saw how calm her Young Miss was and did not know if she should be anxious or not. Little Yue probed, ¡°Then¡­ Should I get someone to take a look?¡± Hearing Little Yue¡¯s words, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said lightly, ¡°Sure.¡± Dong Xi looked at the degree of Little Ya¡¯s attack, and it was obvious that he was holding back. Looking at Little Ya¡¯s aggrieved expression, Dong Xi suddenly had an idea. ¡°Big Snake, what did you do?¡± Dong Xi asked in her sea of consciousness. ¡°What do you think?¡± Su Cheng asked lightly. ¡°Hahaha, no wonder I can feel that you¡¯re upset,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Be serious,¡± said Su Cheng. ¡°If you still lose after I suppress your opponent¡¯s cultivation by 70 percent, it¡¯ll be so embarrassing. ¡± ¡°What?¡± Dong Xi asked in shock. ¡°70 percent? Little Ya is in the Golden Core Stage?¡± ¡°Perfected Golden Core stage,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi was speechless. The cultivation world was really cruel. Why were there Golden Core cultivators everywhere? A servant of the Shangguan Residence was also at the Golden Core stage¡­ Fortunately, Su Cheng was there. Otherwise, Dong Xi would have to tuck her tail between her legs with her cultivation. Dong Xi had done good deeds in her previous life, so this life should be smooth sailing. With Su Cheng¡¯s reminder, Dong Xi started to get serious. Even though he had suppressed 70 percent of his cultivation, he was still very powerful in the perfected Gold Core stage. Different realms had different rules to dispel, and their understanding of sword techniques was even more different. Little Ya looked like he did not use any effort, while Dong Xi seemed to have used all her strength to ensure that she was not defeated. The swords in their hands collided, and sparks shed. The powerful force caused Dong Xi¡¯s face to turn numb. Dong Xi quickly circted her body technique to dispel the hidden force. Little Ya was not feeling well either. He did not temper his body. He only used the extra spiritual energy to temper his body every time he advanced. Although Little Ya¡¯s current body was much stronger than that of a Foundation Establishment disciple, it was still much weaker whenpared to Dong Xi¡¯s body, which had been tempered thousands of times. Why was this Young Master so powerful? Innate strength? Little Ya frowned and gripped his sword tightly. Dong Xi moved a few times and began to attack again. Little Ya was a little shocked. Dong Xi¡­ He actually copied Little Ya¡¯s sword technique? How was this possible? This son-inw¡¯sprehension ability was so high? Little Ya¡¯s expression darkened slightly as he pondered in his heart again. This time, it was difficult. This Young Master was so talented that he was definitely not a nameless person. Little Ya¡¯s original idea might not be easy to implement. Not to mention killing Dong Xi, Little Ya could not even use 30 percent of his cultivation¡­ Thinking of this, Little Ya¡¯s heart was in a mess, and his sword moves also showed ws! Chapter 416 - 416 He Bullied Me 416 He Bullied Me Dong Xi saw that Little Ya had revealed a w and immediately used a Heartless Sword Technique, stabbing over at him. Little Ya reacted quickly and immediately raised his hand to block it. Just as he blocked Dong Xi¡¯s attack, a voice came from the door of the training room. Both of them looked over. A servant opened the door, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er and Little Yue were standing at the door. ¡°Why are they still fighting?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. Dong Xi immediately put away her sword and ran to Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s side. Dong Xi said in a low voice, ¡°Madam, he bullied me.¡± Little Ya, ¡°??¡± Wasn¡¯t this too immoral? Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s unhappy expression, Little Ya quickly said, ¡°Young Miss, Young Master suggested to spar with me.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er took a nce at Dong Xi and saw Dong Xi squinting her eyes. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Little Yue, get ready. I¡¯ll personally go and find a doctor for my husband.¡± Little Ya, ¡°¡­¡± Could it be that in the eyes of the Young Miss and Young Master, Little Ya was a fool? ¡°Miss, I have the Vitality Reinforcement Pills that Master has rewarded me with,¡± Little Ya bowed with a gloomy face. ¡°I don¡¯t believe in these pills,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°I must ask the doctor toe back and let him take a look at my husband. Only then can I be at ease.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression was a little fierce,pletely different from her usual meek and weak self. Dong Xi stood beside Shangguan Yun¡¯er and pondered. It was impossible for a person to be like this in just a few days. Unless¡­ She was originally like this. Little Ya¡¯s mood was veryplicated. After all, Little Ya was just a servant, but these two masters were not easy to deal with. Therefore, Little Ya could only turn a blind eye. After the two of them left, Little Ya secretly sent a message to Old Master. Little Ya reported everything that had happened at home to Old Master in detail, but he never replied. Dong Xi watched Shangguan Yun¡¯er take Little Yue out of the door, then took out hermunication jade slip. There were a lot of messages. Dong Xi saw Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s message at first nce and immediately opened it. When Dong Xi saw this message, she immediately became anxious. She was not worried about Shangguan Patriarch, she was worried about Senior Brother Rui Ming. Shangguan Patriarch was at the Soul Formation stage, but an ident happened. Senior Brother Rui Ming was only at the Qi Refinement stage¡­ Dong Xi immediately replied. [Senior Brother, where are you? I¡¯ll pick you up.] Rui Ming was currently sitting in a dark space, the light from the jade scroll shining on his face. Rui Ming replied. [I¡¯m fine. Come and take Shangguan Patriarch away.] After thinking for a moment, Rui Ming described the location and sent it to Dong Xi. [Follow the direction I gave you. There¡¯s a protruding rock there, you can¡¯t miss it. Send me a message when you arrive.] Before Dong Xi left, she wanted to leave a note for Shangguan Yun¡¯er. She had just written two words when she saw the painting that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had left behind. Inparison, Dong Xi¡¯s handwriting was really ugly. Dong Xi coughed lightly, crumpled the paper into a pattern, and threw it into the dustbin. Forget it, it¡¯s fine if she did not leave a note. Dong Xi left the room and walked out unhurriedly. Before the guards at the door could react, Dong Xi had already left. ording to the information Rui Ming had given her, she flew about 180 miles on the sea and saw a small ind. Dong Xi sat on the flying device and looked at the small ind. She frowned. This ind was too small. It was not even as big as the Shangguan family¡¯s courtyard. What kind of treasure could there be? Why would the Shangguan Patriarche here personally? What was even more ridiculous was that the Soul Formation stage Shangguan Patriarch had actually fainted here. The small ind was like a huge abyss in the sea, as if it could swallow everything that came and went. Dong Xi circled around the ind on the flying device and found the protruding rock that Rui Ming mentioned. Dong Xi took out a jade slip and immediately sent a message to Rui Ming. [Senior Brother, I¡¯m already here.] When Rui Ming saw Dong Xi¡¯s message, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the Shangguan Patriarch on the ground, Rui Ming secretly lifted the bell covering his body, grabbed the Shangguan Patrairch¡¯s leg, and threw it out. Dong Xi was waiting for Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s news. Unexpectedly, before the news came, she noticed something. Dong Xi looked on vigntly. She saw the rock shaking slightly, and then noticed a figure starting to fall off. Seeing someone about to fall into the sea, Dong Xi did not have time to see who it was. She instinctively saved the person first. Dong Xi carried the man on her shoulder and slowlynded on the ind. ¡°He¡¯s quite heavy,¡± muttered Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi ced him on the ground. Only now did she realize that this person was her father-inw. Dong Xi tested Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s breathing. He was still alive. Then, she took Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s pulse. She wanted to use spiritual energy to investigate the reason for Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s fainting. Chapter 417 - 417 No Memory 417 No Memory At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness recalled Su Cheng¡¯s voice. Su Cheng said, ¡°If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t take such a risk to check on Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s injuries.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Dong Xi frowned. ¡°All these years, you¡¯ve suffered so many attacks from me,¡± Su Cheng said lightly. ¡°All of them were for nothing. You don¡¯t have a good memory.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. Su Cheng continued, ¡°As long as a cultivator with a high cultivation base still has a breath left in him, it¡¯s instinctive for him to retaliate. If you recklessly inject spiritual energy into him, I¡¯m afraid it will backfire.¡± Dong Xi immediately understood and retracted her hand. What did Dong Xi have to do with his father-inw fainting? Of course, his life was more important. ¡°Thanks for the reminder,¡± Dong Xi coughed lightly and said. ¡°Very good, you have a grateful heart,¡± said Su Cheng with a smile. ¡°Thank you for reminding me how ruthless you have been to me these past few years,¡± said Dong Xi seriously. Su Cheng, ¡°¡­¡± If Su Cheng had really defended himself seriously, how could this little girl have survived until today? Dong Xi threw the unconscious Shangguan Patriarch aside and took out amunication jade slip. Dong Xi sent a message to Rui Ming. [Senior Brother, do you really not need my help?] Rui Ming stood in the darkness, his eyes exceptionally bright. Rui Ming said in his voice, ¡°No need.¡± After saying that, Rui Ming put away themunication jade slip and the barrier. In the next second, the cries of cranes spread throughout the Secret Realm. Some cultivators who were fighting also stopped and shouted at each other. ¡°Demon beasts are here!¡± ¡°It sounded like cranes.¡± ¡°Could it be that the demons are also optimistic about this Secret Realm?¡± ¡­ Before the group of cultivators coulde to a conclusion, arge shadow fell over their heads. Everyone looked over and saw rows of crane feathers flying by, emitting a metallic glow. Only then did everyone react and speak one after another. ¡°The Crane Demon has entered!¡± ¡°The restriction is gone. Let¡¯s hurry in too. We can¡¯t let the demons get there first.¡± After saying that, some people had already rushed forward. However, a few of them bumped into the restriction and immediately bled. No one went over. Everyone was confused and started discussing. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why can the Crane Demon enter?¡± ¡°That Crane Demon must have found the key before entering.¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote to find it now. Let¡¯s attack together. I don¡¯t believe that we can¡¯t break a restriction with so many people.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone attack together.¡± ¡­ All kinds of binding techniques smashed at the restriction, but the restriction was like an ocean. All the attacks hit it. ¡°Fellow Daoists, now is not the time to hide your strength,¡± one of them said. ¡°Bring out your trump cards. If we dy any longer, the treasures inside will be taken away by that Crane Demon!¡± When everyone heard this, they all became serious. The restriction finally fluctuated. Rui Ming did not know what happened after that. Rui Ming flew into the abyss and felt an inexplicable familiarity. This feeling seemed to be¡­ It was like going home. There seemed to be something in the abyss that kept calling for Rui Ming. The deeper he went, the more undercurrents there were. The wind was like a knife, cutting Rui Ming¡¯s feathers. Rui Ming¡¯s beak slowly turned golden. His eyes, neck, wings¡­ Everything was changing. From afar, Rui Ming looked like a metal machine, emitting a golden light. In the end, Rui Ming slowly descended into the abyss. This ce was filled with colorful crystals, as if it was speciallyid out for Rui Ming to return. Rui Ming¡¯s eyes were a little dazed. In his memories, Rui Ming seemed to have been seriously injured and could no longer maintain his human form. He could only shrink himself and fall into a forest. A pair of feet appeared in front of Rui Ming. Rui Ming wanted to see who it was, but his vision was blurred by the blood. Rui Ming could not remember what happened after that. Whenever he thought about what happened after that, he would have a headache. How did he get hurt back then? Did the leg belong to Elder Fu Rui? ¡­ Rui Ming did not have time to think too much. He took out some crystals from his storage bag. Junior Sister Dong Xi would probably like these. He would take them back for her. It would be a worthwhile trip. After everything was done, Rui Ming left and continued to fly deeper. The deeper he went, the more violent the wind des became. It was impossible for ordinary people to get close. Rui Ming stepped on the wind de, like a fallen leaf, spinning with the wind. Rui Ming drifted with the wind like this, advancing another few dozen miles. The front suddenly brightened up. The rocks that had been blown by the strong wind gave off waves of green light. They were all Wind-Swallowing Stones. In the middle of the Wind-Swallowing Stones, there was a huge bird¡¯s nest. The bird¡¯s nest was made of agarwood, and there was a faint glow inside. Chapter 418 - 418 Save Me 418 Save Me Rui Ming suddenly had a feeling that this bird¡¯s nest was his home. Rui Ming stepped on the Wind-Swallowing Stones and slowlynded in the bird¡¯s nest. Then, he transformed into his original body and slowly closed his golden eyes. In an instant, a golden light screen rose and enveloped the bird¡¯s nest, like a giant egg that was hatching. ¡­ Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who was walking outside, suddenly felt a pain in her heart. Shangguan Yun¡¯er clutched her chest and stood rooted to the ground. The pain in her heart instantly spread throughout her entire body. Her face was pale and cold sweat covered her forehead. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes blurred as she said with difficulty, ¡°Little Yue, save me.¡± Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er like this, Little Yue¡¯s face turned pale as if she felt the same way. Little Yue said, ¡°Young Miss, Young Miss, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°My heart¡­ It hurts.¡± As she spoke, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s mouth. Little Yue¡¯s expression changed drastically. She took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to Little Ya. [Young Miss is in danger. Hurry up and prepare the medicinal bath.] After sending out the message, Little Yue kept the jade slip, picked up Shangguan Yun¡¯er, and walked towards the Shangguan Residence. Halfway through, she bumped into Little Ya. Little Ya looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who was almost dying in Little Yue¡¯s arms. He became anxious and said, ¡°What happened?¡± Little Yue shook her head and did not stop. She said as she walked, ¡°Is the medicinal bath ready?¡± ¡°I¡¯m ready,¡± said Little Ya immediately. ¡°Let¡¯s talk when we get back,¡± said Little Yue. Little Yue carried Shangguan Yun¡¯er and went straight to the bathroom. Little Ya stopped outside and Little Yue carried Shangguan Yun¡¯er into the pool. The thick medicinal bath seemed to be boiling and kept bubbling. Little Yue helped Shangguan Yun¡¯er take off her outer clothes and ced Shangguan Yun¡¯er in the medicinal bath. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face turned bright red under the effects of the medicinal bath. She did not react to the pain. Little Yue stood at the side, watching over Shangguan Yun¡¯er. She had already sent a message to Shangguan Patriarch, but after a long time, there was no reply. Little Yue looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s pale lips, blood still flowing down from the corner of her mouth, Little Yue was helpless. Little Yue walked outside. Little Ya saw Little Yue and immediately said, ¡°How is it? Is Young Miss alright?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s worse than before.¡± Little Yue shook her head. Little Yue looked at Little Ya seriously and said, ¡°Little Ya, can you contact Old Master? Is Old Master really in seclusion?¡± Little Ya opened his mouth and found that he waspletely unable to tell his master¡¯s whereabouts. There must be a restriction in ce. Little Yue instantly understood when she saw the look on LIttle Ya¡¯s face. Little Yue frowned and thought for a long time. She said, ¡°That¡¯s the only way now. Go and prepare immediately.¡± At this moment, their identities seemed to have changed. Little Yue was no longer a timid maid, and Little Ya was no longer a butler. ¡°Understood,¡± replied Little Ya immediately. Everything in the Shangguan Residence belonged to Young Miss. If anything happened to the Youong MIss, everyone in the Shangguan Residence would be buried with her. This was a restriction that the Shangguan Patriarch had personally set up. Therefore, whether it was Little Ya or Little Yue, their lives had long been tied to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Little Yue looked at Little Ya¡¯s departing figure and immediately thought of the Young Master. She had already been back for so long. Why had she not seen Young Master? Thinking of this, Little Yue¡¯s expression became even more gloomy. She immediately called a servant over and asked him to find the Young Master. However, this servant searched around the Shangguan Residence and finally told Little Yue that the Young Master had gone missing. Little Yue¡¯s face was extremely gloomy. She said, ¡°What is it? Missing? Go and ask the guards if they saw the Young Master go out.¡± ¡°Sister Little Yue, I¡¯ve already asked. The guard said he didn¡¯t see anything.¡± the servant lowered his head and said. Little Yue thought for a moment and said, ¡°Have you seen the training room?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± said the servant. ¡°I¡¯ve checked all the ces that Young Master frequents. There¡¯s nothing there.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really strange, ¡± Little Yue said. ¡°Our Shangguan Residence is not that big. How can the Young Master just disappear?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look,¡± the servant immediately said. ¡­ Little Yue sent the servant away and turned to enter the bathroom. Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s undergarment stained with blood, Little Yue thought of the missing Young Mater and became even angrier. Little Yue squatted beside the pool and muttered to herself, ¡°Miss, why did you agree back then? That Dong Li is not reliable at all. You just got into an ident. Before anything happened, Dong Li went missing¡­¡± Chapter 419 - 419 Everything Is Ready 419 Everything Is Ready Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s ck hair was scattered in all directions, and her face was deathly pale, like a ss doll that would shatter at any moment. After an unknown period of time, a small maid outside the door said, ¡°Sister Little Yue, Lord Little Ya said that everything is ready, you¡­¡± At this time, Little Yue came back to her senses and stood up. Little Yue called two maids in and said, ¡°Come with me to help Young Miss put on her clothes.¡± The two maids immediately went forward to help. ¡­ When Shangguan Yun¡¯er opened her eyes, she realized that she was not in the bedroom. The room was filled with runes, the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling. Shangguan Yun¡¯er had been to this house before¡­ Shangguan Yun¡¯er sat up, and Little Yue immediately went forward to help her. Little Yue said, ¡°Young Miss, you¡¯re awake.¡± Little Yue¡¯s voice was filled with joy. Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded. However, the room was filled with symbols, causing Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes to be deep and serene. After a long time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er closed her eyes again. She sighed and said, ¡°Little Yue, there¡¯s no need.¡± ¡°Young Miss, what do you mean?¡± Little Yue asked. Shangguan Yun¡¯er seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She leaned into Little Yue¡¯s arms and said, ¡°My fate is like this, why do I need to trouble people¡¯s lives?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er knew that her mother had died early, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er was congenitally deficient. She would not have lived past 30. ¡­ That year, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was muddleheaded. Shangguan Yun¡¯er would be unconscious for 10 hours every day. Shangguan Yun¡¯er knew that she was about to die, but her father seemed to be extremely busy. She had not seen her father for half a month. Finally, one day, she opened her eyes and saw her father beside her. Shangguan Yun¡¯er clearly remembered that her father¡¯splexion was very good that day, and the exhaustion from before was also gone. ¡°Yun¡¯er, you¡¯re saved now, you don¡¯t have to die. As long as you survive, I will pay any price¡­¡± Shangguan Patriarch said that day. As Shangguan Patriarch spoke, his eyes became moist. This was the first time Shangguan Yun¡¯er had seen her father cry. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was also very happy. It seemed like there was a way for her to survive. Shangguan Patriarch said that as long as she had this heart, Shangguan Yun¡¯er could live to at least 200 years old. Shangguan Yun¡¯er had been trapped in the mansion since she was young. Her mind was very simple and could not ept the exchange of other people¡¯s lives for her own. Shangguan Patriarch said that the owner of this heart had a profound cultivation. Therefore, even if he did not have a heart, he would not die. When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, the shackles on her body seemed to have been suddenly unlocked. Only after a long time did Shangguan Yun¡¯er realize that this matter was not that simple. ¡­ That day, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was in a room like this. The red flowing symbols were the blood of many cultivators and their vitality. Now that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was in such a room again, the surrounding runes did not light up. Little Yue¡¯s eyes widened when she heard Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s words. She said in shock, ¡°Young Miss, why do you say that? You are the honorable nobledy Miss Shangguan, you must live.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯erughed lightly. With her pale face, she suddenly felt a sense of sorrow. ¡°What nobledy? I¡¯m just a mortal,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Little Yue supported Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Little Yue¡¯s face was pale as she said, ¡°Young Miss.¡± Shangguan Yuer was stunned for a moment. Little Yue continued, ¡°You¡¯re the honorable Miss Shangguan. Your life is the most important. Do you know how many people will die with you if anything happens to you? If you die, everyone in the Shangguan Residence will die with you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not in charge of life, and neither am I in charge of death,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er helplessly. At this moment, Little Ya walked in and said, ¡°Everything is ready.¡± Just as Little Yue nodded, the guard ran over in a panic with a strange expression. The guard said, ¡°The Young Master¡­ is back.¡± ¡°He¡¯s back?¡± Little Yue said with a gloomy face. ¡°Why did hee back at this time? Does he really think that he cane and go as you please in the Shangguan Residence?¡± The guard said with a strange expression, ¡°But¡­ The Young Master brought the Old Master back.¡± The guard did not know what else to say. Little Yue and Little Ya were stunned. They said in unison, ¡°What?¡± The guard was under great pressure from the two of them. The guard said, ¡°It¡¯s true. He¡¯s already in. Something seems to have happened to Old Master.¡± Hearing this, Shangguan Yun¡¯er started to cough. Little Yue quickly checked on Shangguan Yun¡¯er. She must make sure nothing happened to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Chapter 420 - 420 I’ll Go by Myself 420 I¡¯ll Go by Myself At this moment, Shangguan Yun¡¯er could still elegantly take out a handkerchief and wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Shangguan Yun¡¯er stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and see Father first.¡± Little Yue looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who was about to fall at any moment, and immediately went forward to support her. ¡°Miss, this servant will carry you,¡± said Little Yue. She did need to go and look for the Old Master. She did not know if the Young Miss¡¯s sudden behavior had anything to do with letting the Young Master take her ce to soak in the medicinal bath. ¡°I¡¯ll go by myself,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er shook her head and said. As soon as everyone left the room, they bumped into Dong Xi who was walking over. Dong Xi was also carrying someone, and everyone had strange expressions. Dong Xi hurried forward and threw Shangguan Patriarch to Little Ya. ¡°Hurry up and take it. I¡¯m exhausted from carrying him all the way,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er and the others also looked at the person in Little Ya¡¯s arms. When they realized that it was really Shangguan Patriarch, everyone immediately panicked. One had to know that Shangguan Patriarch was at the Soul Formation stage. How could he be like this? ¡°Young Master, what happened to the Old Master?¡± Little Ya immediately asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°I went out to look for something and happened to meet Old Master, so I brought him back.¡± As Dong xi spoke, she looked at Little Ya. Dong Xi asked in puzzlement, ¡°Fellow Daoist Little Ya, didn¡¯t you say that Old Master is in seclusion? Why is he on an ind?¡± ¡°Wherever that Old Master wants to go, how can I ask about it?¡± Little Ya shook his head and said coldly. Dong Xi immediately understood. She said, ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi saw that Shangguan Yun¡¯er seemed to be in a very bad state. He hurriedly went forward to hug Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, what happened? I just went out not long ago. How did you be like this?¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she coldly swept his gaze across the crowd. Dong Xi said, ¡°What happened? Who caused my wife to be like this?¡± Little Yue frowned and did not know what to say. There were some things that she could not tell Dong Xi. ¡°You two, go and receive your punishment!¡± Dong Xi said again. Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t punish them. It¡¯s my body¡¯s problem. It has nothing to do with the others.¡± Dong Xi carried Shangguan Yun¡¯er and walked toward the room. ¡°Got it,¡± replied Little Ya immediately. Dong Xi entered the room and kicked the door. It almost hit Little Yue¡¯s face. Little Yue looked at the closed door and frowned. In the end, she just stood at the door. Dong Xi ced Shangguan Yun¡¯er on the bed. Looking at her pale face, Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°Why is there so much blood all of a sudden? How much blood can a human have? What if it runs dry?¡± As Dong Xi spoke, she took out a supreme-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill and fed it to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°Madam, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m reluctant to give up the pill. You have a mortal body. I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t be able to withstand the medicinal effects,¡± Dong Xi continued. Shangguan Yun¡¯er shook her head and said nothing. Dong Xi stretched out her hand to take Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s pulse. The wood spiritual energy began to flow along Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s meridians and checked one round before finally reaching her heart. Dong Xi withdrew her hand, and her expression changed drastically. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s body was so weak, so why did she have such a heart? Dong Xi thought of what Senior Brother Rui Ming had said before, that Dong Xi was in the Shangguan Residence. Thinking of some possibilities, Dong Xi¡¯s fingers trembled slightly. Dong Xi could clearly feel the coldness in his her palm. At the same time, her heart also turned cold. Dong Xi wanted to know the answer. She said in her mind, ¡°Big Snake, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you already guessed it?¡± Su Cheng asked coldly. Dong Xi was stunned. Su Cheng continued, ¡°You humans always say that snakes are cold-blooded. Now that I think about it, humans are even more terrifying than demon beasts.¡± Dong Xi was unable to refute. She wanted to know the truth now. She said, ¡°What should I do? How can I return Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s heart to him?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Su Cheng asked in surprise. ¡°I thought you couldn¡¯t do it. ¡± Dong Xi did not say anything. She thought to herself that she did not have the ability, otherwise, she would definitely take out Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s heart and give it to Senior Brother Rui Ming. Su Cheng knew what Dong Xi was thinking and found it funny. He said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to do anything. That crane is not a good-for-nothing. The power of this heart will be returned bit by bit.¡± Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s strong heart allowed Shangguan Yun¡¯er to live for another 200 years. Now that the strength had been lost¡­ Su Cheng was like a judge who controlled life and death. Su Cheng said, ¡°This girl should only be able to live for a few days.¡± Dong Xi looked at the extremely weak Shangguan Yun¡¯er and suddenly had an idea. Chapter 421 - 421 Is My Time Coming to an End? 421 Is My Time Coming to an End? Dong Xi thought, ¡®Does Shangguan Yun¡¯er know that the heart in her body actually belongs to someone else?¡¯ Shangguan Yun¡¯er noticed Dong Xi¡¯s strange gaze. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, why are you looking at me like that?¡± Only then did Dong Xie back to her senses and put Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s arm under the nket. ¡°Madam¡­¡± Dong Xi replied in a superior manner. However, before she could continue, Shangguan Yun¡¯er interrupted Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, is my timeing to an end?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment before looking at Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face was pale, but her eyes were exceptionally bright. Seeing that Dong Xi did not say anything, Shangguan Yun¡¯er sighed and said, ¡°Husband, I know I¡¯m about to die. Can you do me a favor?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s mood was veryplicated, but she still said, ¡°What is it?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er turned her head, blood flowing out from the corner of her mouth. Shangguan Yun¡¯er wiped her face with a handkerchief and said, ¡°I want to find someone.¡± ¡°Who?¡± asked Dong Xi in confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t know what his name is, nor do I know what he looks like¡­¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. ¡°How do we find him?¡± Dong Xi frowned. ¡°This person has my jade pendant on him. It was left behind by my mother. Back then, I had someone secretly send him away and leave it for him¡­¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. It was just two short sentences, but Shangguan Yun¡¯er seemed to have used up all of her life¡¯s energy. ¡°I¡¯m dying,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, clutching her heart. ¡°But I hope I can return his heart to him before I die.¡± Dong Xi was a little surprised. Then, she pretended not to know anything and said, ¡°Heart?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. I should have died ten years ago. Because of his heart, I lived for another ten years. I¡¯ve always wanted to return it, but I couldn¡¯t leave the Shangguan Residence¡­¡± A dying person¡¯s words were kind. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s pale face and thought about how much pain Senior Brother Rui Ming had endured because his heart was stolen by these people. At this moment, Dong Xi recalled that moment when she was stabbed to death again. She understood how Shangguan Yun¡¯er was feeling¡­ Dong Xi¡¯s eyes slowly turned gloomy. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er and said, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to him.¡± As soon as they left the door, Little Yue stopped the two of them. Little Yue said, ¡°Young Master, where are you bringing the Young Miss?¡± Dong Xi looked at the anxious Little Yue and said, ¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Young Miss is seriously ill,¡± Little Yue said. ¡°She must recuperate in the mansion. If you take her out, will you be able to bear the consequences?¡± Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, ¡°What a loyal servant. Are you stopping me now because you¡¯re worried that something might happen to the Young Miss, or are you afraid that something might happen to you?¡± Dong Xi stared straight at Little Yue. Little Yue seemed to have been seen through and started to avoid her gaze. Dong Xi carried Shangguan Yun¡¯er and went around Little Yue, continuing to walk outside. Little Yue regained her senses and hurriedly chased after her. ¡°Young Miss, Young Master, could it be that you¡¯re willing to see the 200 people in the mansion die with you?¡± Little Yue asked. Little Yue¡¯s eyes widened and were bloodshot. His expression was also veryplicated. She was a little angry, worried, and¡­ afraid. Dong Xi stopped and looked at Little Yue, who had a twisted face, and said, ¡°You are all alive to help prolong Yun¡¯er¡¯s life, right? Do you think you¡¯ll be fine forever just because the knife isn¡¯t on your head? Naive!¡± Dong Xi continued to walk out. Little Yue wanted to stop her, but she realized that she could not catch up. Little Yue was also a cultivator, so she immediately saw that Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique was extraordinary. Dong Xi carried Little Yue out of the mansion¡¯s gate and flew directly to the seaside. Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard the sound of the waves and tried hard to open her eyes. Speaking of which, it was quite funny. Shangguan Yun¡¯er grew up on the ind, but this was her first time going to the seaside. ¡°Husband, where are we going?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. Dong Xi did not say anything. She took Shangguan Yunrui to the flying device and flew toward the ind. cing Shangguan Yun¡¯er on the reef, Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to Senior Brother Rui Ming, but there was no reply. Dong Xi thought for a moment, took out the feather, and said in a low voice, ¡°Senior Brother Rui Ming, where are you? Can you hear me?¡± ¡­ She repeated it a few times, but there was still no response. Dong Xi immediately panicked. Previously, Dong Xi had gone to the entrance of the Shangguan Residence to pick up Senior Brother Rui Ming when something happened to him. This time, could Senior Brother Rui Ming have met with an ident again? Shangguan Yun¡¯er sat up from the reef and said, ¡°Husband, did something happen?¡± Dong Xi did not say anything. She kept the feather and went directly to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Chapter 422 - 422 The Black Wind Is Here 422 The ck Wind Is Here Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi curiously. She saw Dong Xi circling around the reef a few times and then shooting out a stream of spiritual energy. However, there was no abnormality. Dong Xi was even more confused. What was going on? Dong Xi looked at the sea and frowned, not thinking about the possibility of finding the entrance in the sea. At this moment, a fishy wind suddenly blew, and the sky began to turn ck. Dong Xi did not realize the seriousness of the matter. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°The ck Wind is here. Husband, let¡¯s leave quickly.¡± Before Dong Xi came to the Void Sea, he had read the information and knew about the ck Wind here. However, Dong Xi had no intention of leaving. Dong Xi ate a Water Repellent Pill, then fed one to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. She carried Shangguan Yun¡¯er and jumped in. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was not mentally prepared, and she did not know how the pill worked. The moment she entered the sea, Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s heart almost stopped beating. However, just as Shangguan Yun¡¯er thought that Dong Xi wanted tomit suicide together with her¡­ She suddenly discovered that she could actually breathe in the water! It seemed that her husband had already prepared the Water Repellent Pill beforehand. Even in the water, there was no way topletely avoid the ck Wind. Dong Xi propped up an earth elemental protective shield and carried Shangguan Yun¡¯er to the bottom of the ind to find the entrance. Shangguan Yun¡¯er suddenly felt something strange. She pulled Dong Xi¡¯s hand with a little force and pointed in a direction. Dong Xi paused for a moment and swam toward the direction Shangguan Yun¡¯er pointed out. The waves crashed against the rocks, and the sound could be vaguely heard in Wind Valley. ¡­ Rui Ming felt like he was half-awake, he seemed to hear someone say: ¡°Senior Brother, Senior Brother, where are you?¡± Rui Ming could tell that this was Dong Xi¡¯s voice, and he subconsciously let her in. Then, Rui Ming fell into a deep sleep again. The ck Wind struck, and the seawater was also extremely chaotic. Dong Xi could not see anything clearly. Dong Xi was thinking about whether she should hide in the soil when the seawater in front of her suddenly boiled and a vortex appeared. This was probably the entrance to the Secret Realm. Dong Xi immediately brought Shangguan Yun¡¯er inside. Not only was it painful, but it was also a lingering fear. Dong Xi just stepped into the Secret Realm, and she found herself staring down a cliff. If she took a step forward, she would fall down. Behind Dong Xi, a group of people was watching, making Dong Xi feel like an animal in a zoo. Dong Xi endured the pain and stood up, pretending to be unfathomable. She turned around and looked at the people behind her. Before she could say anything, someone immediately said, ¡°Who are you? How did you get in?¡± ¡°What?¡± Dong Xi chuckled. ¡°Why can¡¯t I get in?¡± At this moment, Dong Xi discovered that there was a restriction between the two sides. It seemed that he was very lucky when he came in just now and fell into the restriction. When everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they were speechless. Someone said, ¡°Nonsense. If I could go in, why would I be outside? Hurry up and tell me, do you have the key to the restriction?¡± Dong Xi shrugged and pretended to be innocent. ¡°What key? Since you can¡¯te in, it means that your strength is not enough. Just ept your fate. The treasures here have no fate with you.¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense!¡± one of them said angrily. ¡°We¡¯re all at the Soul Formation stage. Why are we not strong enough?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± No wonder she could not find the entrance before. It turned out that the lowest cultivation level to enter this ce was at the Soul Formation stage? Dong Xi¡¯s heart sank. The people outside were all at the Soul Formation stage. Moreover, in this ce, even Soul Formation Stage cultivators could not guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed. Dong Xi was only at the Foundation Establishment stage¡­ Although she did not feel good, she remained calm and did not panic at all. In any case, these people could not enter, which meant that it was impossible to break this restriction. In that case¡­ Dong Xi was still safe. With that thought, Dong Xi continued to act cool. Dong Xiughed coldly with some disdain. She said coldly, ¡°Soul Formation stage? Could it be that there¡¯s no one above the Soul Formation stage?¡± When everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they were stunned. Their expressions were extremelyplicated. Was this the saying that there was a mountain beyond the mountain? Of course, smart people knew what was going on. ¡°She must be a Senior!¡± One of them cupped his fists and said. ¡°Since Senior can enter, I wonder if Senior can give me some face and make a deal with me?¡± Hearing this person¡¯s words, Dong Xi¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. Dong Xi said, ¡°Hmm? How?¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that there are Wind-Swallowing Stones in this Secret Realm. If Senior can bring some out, I can buy them at a high price,¡± said the person immediately. Wind-Swallowing Stone? This was a good thing. It could be used to forge a flying magic tool. Whether it was a sword or a magic tool, if a Wind-Swallowing Stone was added to it, it would increase its speed! Chapter 423 - 423 Ghost Cultivator 423 Ghost Cultivator If the Wind-Swallowing Stone could be added to the sword, it could even have one or two more Sword Qi when attacking. The Sword Qi of a high-level cultivator was not easy to block. In fact, even the Soul Formation stage would value the Wind-Swallowing Stone very much. Of course, this was a treasure. Of course, business was not a problem, but all of this would have to wait until she found Senior Brother Rui Ming. Dong Xi took out a fan and mimicked Su Cheng, saying, ¡°Wait until I¡¯m free.¡± Seeing that Dong Xi did not refuse, everyone had a glimmer of hope and immediately smiled. Dong Xi swept her gaze across the crowd and said, ¡°Other than me, did anyone else enter?¡± First, she had to confirm if there were any other opponents inside. If there were really any masters of the Soul Formation stage or the Mahayana stage, Dong Xi would probably die instantly. ¡°Senior, no one went in before you, but a demon beast did,¡± said one of them immediately. Dong Xi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Senior Brother Rui Ming was injured by a demon beast? ¡°What demon beast?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. ¡°Crane,¡± said the man. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± That¡¯s good. It¡¯s fine now. ¡°Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist,¡± said Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi turned around and was about to go down to take a look. However, just as Dong Xi turned around, someone suddenly said in surprise, ¡°Senior, are you from the Song family?¡± Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and said nothing. She just picked up Shangguan Yun¡¯er and jumped off the cliff. The action of jumping down was very handsome, and the posturing was very urate. In order to maintain a profound image, Dong Xi had no choice but to do this. However, Dong Xi did not have the ability to walk in the air. After a period of free fall, Dong Xi hurriedly took out her flying magic tool and injected spiritual energy into it. When she stepped on the flying magic tool, Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. She was still alive. Dong Xi saw that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had fainted, so she no longer carried her like a princess. This was very ufortable, so Dong Xi directly carried Shangguan Yun¡¯er on her shoulder. After flying all the way to the entrance of the canyon, Dong Xi saw a dazzling array of crystals and was instantly shocked. So¡­ Senior Brother Rui Ming really had a mine at home. Dong Xi was greedy, but these belonged to Senior Brother Rui Ming, so Dong Xi would not touch them. Dong Xi collected her thoughts. Just as she took a step forward, a sharp wind de attacked her. A piece of Dong Xi¡¯s shoe was cut off, and even her toes were exposed. Knowing that she could not enter, Dong Xi simply sat on the spot and began to take Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s pulse. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s heart was still active, but it was not as energetic as before. If one had to describe it, it was a dying struggle. Dong Xi could also sense that the wood spiritual energy was somewhat useful to Shangguan Yun¡¯er, so she immediately injected wood spiritual energy into Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Perhaps it was because of the wood spiritual energy, Shangguan Yun¡¯er slowly woke up. Shangguan Yun¡¯er saw the scene around her change again, but the person beside her remained the same. Shangguan Yun¡¯er also noticed that something was not right with Dong Xi today. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband, are you looking for the Senior Brother we saw that day?¡± Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said with a bitter smile, ¡°I knew it. After I saw him that day, my heart started beating abnormally.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this heart belongs to my Senior Brother,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er lowered her head, wanting to say something, but she could not. In the end, she could only say, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Dong Xi stopped looking at Shangguan Yun¡¯er and said,¡± No need to apologize to me. Tell my Senior Brother when you see him. ¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er leaned against the crystal, tears flowing out of her eyes. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°If only I had known you ten years ago.¡± Ten years ago, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was still using her own heart. If she knew Dong Xi back then, and knew that it was possible to enter the Dao through the cultivation of paintings, Yun¡¯er would definitely give it a try. However, now¡­It was toote. This was probably the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, right? Shangguan Yun¡¯er had just seen hope when reality gave her a hard p, making her despair. Looking at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s pitiful appearance, Dong Xi recalled. Ten years ago? What was Dong Xi doing at that time? She seemed to be memorizing the multiplication table in school? If he had really met Shangguan Yun¡¯er ten years ago, Dong Xi would not have been able to save Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡­ Seeing the sad Shangguan Yun¡¯er, Dong Xi felt that she should say something, but she did not know what to say. Words were useless in the face of death. Dong Xi pondered for a long time before she said, ¡°Madam, have you thought about it before¡­ Bing a ghost cultivator?¡± The effect of this sentence was very good. Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately stopped crying and looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked in puzzlement, ¡°Ghost cultivator?¡± Chapter 424 - 424 Time 424 Time ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee that.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°At least there¡¯s a way now. Listen to it first.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded and looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s expression was extremely solemn. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Not every soul can be a ghost cultivator. You are a mortal. After death, your soul will definitely enter the cycle of reincarnation. If you want to leave your soul in the world without going into the cycle of reincarnation, you need some special methods. Your father should have a way to do that.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, she immediately frowned. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°My father said this before. But¡­ What would happen if I leave my soul behind? If I don¡¯t enter reincarnation, my soul will dissipate sooner orter.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you just want ten years?¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for Father-In-Law to keep your soul for ten years. This way, you will have ten years. Whether you can step into the Dao will depend on yourprehension.¡± As for whether or not she dared to take a gamble, it would depend on Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s choice. Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not continue to say anything and closed her eyes. Shangguan Yun¡¯er knew the answer. She did not even need to think about it. Cultivation was Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s obsession. Even if her soul was destroyed, as long as there was a chance, Shangguan Yun¡¯er would not let it go. Dong Xi did not say anything else. She sat down and started to recover her spiritual energy. During this period of time, Dong Xi suddenly discovered that the absorption of spiritual energy became very smooth, and it happened after she soaked Shangguan Yun¡¯er in the medicinal bath. Dong Xi was extremely curious. The medicinal bath that Shangguan Patriarch had prepared for Shangguan Yun¡¯er was definitely the best, but what exactly was this medicinal bath? How effective could it be? Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, do you know what the effect of the medicinal bath is?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi. There was something in her eyes that Dong Xi could not understand. ¡°Did I ask something I shouldn¡¯t have?¡± Dong Xi frowned. ¡°The medicinal bath is to allow my broken body to better fuse with my heart,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er shook her head and said. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­ So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Dong Xi had transmigrated here, so herpatibility with her spiritual roots was a little low, so her cultivation was slightly blocked. In the end, he identally soaked Shangguan Yun¡¯er in the medicinal bath and the blockage was gone? When she got out, she would ask the Shangguan family for the recipe of the medicinal bath. After Dong Xi finished speaking, she looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er and discovered that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had shut her eyes, her chest no longer moving up and down. Dong Xi panicked. Was she dead? Dong Xi immediately stood up and walked to Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s side to take her pulse. Oh no, she really had no pulse. Dong Xi immediately patted Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s arm. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, wake up quickly. Didn¡¯t you want to be a ghost cultivator? Are you really willing to leave like this? Madam, if you die, what should I do? How am I going to exin this to Father-In-Law?¡± ¡­ The two of them were chatting just now. How can she die just like that? Dong Xi suddenly thought of something. She found a Universe Regeneration Pill that Second Senior Brother had given her in her storage pouch and immediately fed it to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. This medicinal pill ignored levels and had the effect of reviving the dead. However, after feeding the pill, Dong Xi waited for 15 minutes, but Shangguan Yun¡¯er still did not react. Shangguan Yun¡¯er could also sense Dong Xi¡¯s actions, but it was as if she was being restrained by something. Shangguan Yun¡¯er could clearly feel that the life force in her heart was draining away, but there was nothing she could do. The feeling of waiting for death was so ufortable. Finally, a ray of light appeared in the canyon. Dong Xi discovered something and immediately performed CPR on Shangguan Yun¡¯er. She even looked into the distance when she had time. This power¡­ It was a little familiar yet unfamiliar. ¡°Senior Brother, is it you?¡± Dong Xi muttered to herself. When the light in the distance disappeared, Dong Xi seriously performed CPR on Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi did not believe that theologian science could not save Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s life. After another 15 minutes, the feather in Dong Xi¡¯s storage pouch suddenly came out by itself. This feather was originally ordinary, but at this moment, it actually emitted a faint light. ¡°Junior Sister,¡± said a man¡¯s voice. Dong Xi was stunned. This voice sounded quite famliar. ¡°Senior Brother Rui Ming?¡± Dong Xi immediately asked. Rui Ming said, ¡°Ha¡­ Wait for me here, Junior Sister.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the feather fluttered down again. Dong Xi immediately caught the feather and put it away again. After being stunned for a moment, Dong Xi started to perform CPR on Shangguan Yun¡¯er again. What Senior Brother Rui Ming said was nonsense. If Dong Xi did not wait here, where else could she go? Dong Xi could not break into the Wind Formation in front of her, nor could she deactivate the restrictions behind her. Chapter 425 - 425 You’re Senior Brother Rui Ming? 425 You¡¯re Senior Brother Rui Ming? Rui Ming did not let Dong Xi wait for too long and quickly arrived in front of Dong Xi. ¡°Junior Sister,¡± said Rui Ming. Dong Xi heard the sound and looked up. She saw Rui Ming casually stepping into the wind des and flying out. Those terrifying wind des seemed to be very obedient under Rui Ming¡¯s feet. They did not seem to have any lethality at all. Of course, this was not important. Dong Xi looked at the man in front of her and fell into deep thought. ¡®This¡­ is Senior Brother Rui Ming?¡¯ Rui Ming was wearing a white raincoat and had a golden crown on his head. His figure was slender and he looked like he was floating in the air. ¡°Are you Senior Brother Rui Ming?¡± Dong Xi asked in shock. Was it that Senior Brother Rui Ming who was about the same height and had a chubby face? How did he grow up so quickly? ¡°If I treat you to smoothies when we get back, will you acknowledge me as your Senior Brother?¡± Rui Ming said helplessly. Smoothies? This guy must be her Senior Brother Rui Ming. Dong Xi did not say anything. Rui Ming said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Back then, we agreed that you would pay for my future cultivation of medicinal pills. Does Junior Bister want to go back on her word now?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± It was Senior Brother Rui Ming, there was no mistake. ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s really you. Are you alright?¡± Dong Xi asked excitedly. Rui Ming shook his head and looked toward Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Rui Ming said, ¡°I¡¯m fine now. But looking at you, you seem to be in trouble.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, I think you should know everything by now. I brought her here because she wants to return your heart to you before she dies,¡± Dong Xi sighed and said. Rui Ming looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er indifferently. Rui Ming said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. What should be taken back has already been taken back.¡± Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er who was lying on the ground and stopped performing CPR. She did not know that there was no point in performing CPR. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, you mean¡­ Is she dead?¡± ¡°There¡¯s still a chance of survival.¡± Rui Ming shook his head. Dong Xi also felt somewhat emotional. In Shangguan Yun ¡®er¡¯s entire life, the most correct thing she had done was to secretly let Senior Brother Rui Ming go. ¡°Senior Brother, can she hold on until she goes back to see Shangguan Patrairch?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Sure,¡± Rui Ming nodded. ¡°But I¡¯ll be honest. Even if she goes back, she won¡¯t be able tost long.¡± Dong Xi told Rui Ming about her initial thoughts. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, do you think this method will work?¡± Rui Ming¡¯s expression was a bitplicated. Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Just ten years?¡± ¡°Maybe not even ten years.¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°I still need a maid,¡± Rui Ming said after thinking for a moment. ¡°If this girl is willing to serve me, I can save her life for ten years.¡± For some reason, when Dong Xi heard Rui Ming speak like this, she felt a little strange, but she also trusted him more. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother¡­ Don¡¯t you hate her for taking your heart?¡± This stupid Senior Brother, his heart was taken away, could he still be so kind to her? Dong Xi looked at Rui Ming, and her heart ached a little. Rui Ming shook his head and said, ¡°This matter is my fate. If I hadn¡¯t met Shangguan Patriarch that day and let him take my heart, I might not have been able to live. It was Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s greed that allowed me to live in another way. As for Shangguan Patriarch¡­ Everything he did will be punished in other ways.¡± Dong Xi was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she said, ¡°Are you saying that this is a blessing in disguise?¡± ¡°No, it should be.¡± Rui Ming shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s a blessing, not a curse. If it¡¯s a curse, it can¡¯t be avoided.¡± Dong Xi looked at Rui Ming as he spoke, and at the same time, she pumped some spiritual energy into Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s heart. The shackles that bound Shangguan Yun¡¯er instantly disappeared, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er regained control of her body. This was not the end. Rui Ming picked up the wood element crystal from the ground and ced it on Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s chest. Dong Xi was shocked. Shangguan Yun¡¯er also sensed that her limbs had regained strength. Shangguan Yun¡¯er tried to move her wrists and ankles, and she could actually move them. Just as she was about to sit up, she heard Rui Ming say, ¡°Go and pick up some crystals. As much as you can pick up, you can live for as long as you want.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er, ¡°¡­¡± At this time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er could not care less about her identity as a Young Miss. As long as she could live, so what if she needed to pick up some crystals? Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er who was still lying on the ground a moment ago and came back to life. She now had more trust in what Senior Brother Rui Ming had said. Rui Ming guaranteed that Shangguan Yun¡¯er could live for another ten years. Dong Xi believed him even more. Chapter 426 - 426 What Is This? 426 What Is This? Dong Xi had just lowered her head when she saw two storage pouches. ¡°Senior Brother, what¡¯s this?¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. Rui Ming, said somewhat embarrassed, ¡°These crystals, if my memory serves me well, you seem to like them very much.¡± Dong Xi secretly thought of Rui Ming¡¯s appearance and smiled. Dong Xi was extremely happy. Even though Senior Brother Rui Ming had grown up, he was still a caring and good Senior Brother. He had not changed at all. At this moment, Dong Xi felt a sense of reality in her heart. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes were a little wet as she looked at Rui Ming. Rui Ming said in embarrassment, ¡°Junior Sister, why don¡¯t you ept these crystals?¡± Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then took the crystal and said, ¡°Senior Brother, I¡¯ll help you invest in the Rainbow Store with these crystals. You can get a lot of spirit stones as dividends every month.¡± Rui Ming¡¯s expression was a little surprised. When Dong Xi finished speaking, Rui Ming looked at the ground full of crystals and said, ¡°Junior Sister, do you think that I am¡­cking spirit stones?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± She had forgotten that she was the only poor person around. Oh right, there was also the Eldest Senior Brother. Dong Xi thought of something. Looking at the now tall Rui Ming, Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, are there any Wind-Swallowing Stones here?¡± Rui Ming brought Dong Xi and directly flew inside, letting Shangguan Yun¡¯er wait here. After flying for about 15 minutes, Dong Xi saw that there were crystals everywhere. From the beginning, she was gratified, but as she flew, she started to feel miserable. There really was a mine in Rui Ming¡¯s house! Rui Ming ced Dong Xi on a rock. Rui Ming stood at the side, hovering in the air. ¡°Junior Sister, this is the Wind-Swallowing Stone,¡± said Rui Ming. Dong Xi looked around and asked in confusion,¡±Where?¡± ¡°All of them,¡± said Rui Ming. Dong Xi looked into the distance from the stones under her feet. There were countless stones in his sight. They were all Wind Swallowing Stones? Dong Xi was stunned. She was even more envious. She was so envious that she wanted to cry! However, the next second, Rui Ming said, ¡°How much do you want? You can do whatever you want.¡± She was really good at clinging onto her Senior Brother¡¯s thigh. She could have anything. Dong Xi took out an iron sword and shed at the Wind-Swallowing Stone. Bang! Dong Xi¡¯s heart immediately ached when a crack appeared on the iron sword. However, what was even more depressing was that Dong Xi could not even cut down a single piece of the treasures on the ground. Who could understand such a feeling? Rui Ming smiled and said, ¡°You can¡¯t cut Wind-Swallowing Stones like this. These stones have been eroded by the wind des for 10,000 years. They are harder than most ores.¡± Dong Xi nodded and looked at Rui Ming. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, you¡­ How old are you?¡± Rui Ming, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Not 10,000 years,¡± said Rui Ming. Seeing that Dong Xi still wanted to ask something, Rui Ming directly used a wind de to cut off arge piece of Wind-Swallowing Stone and handed it to Dong Xi. Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, here.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t worry.¡± Dong Xi said excitedly, ¡°When these Wind-Swallowing Stones are sold, Junior Sister will definitely give you a big share.¡± Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi with aplicated expression. Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, you are so powerful. I¡¯m sure you will definitely find a good home for these Wind-Swallowing Stones.¡± Dong Xi took out her storage pouch and asked Rui Ming to cut the Wind-Swallowing Stones into the size of a spirit stone before putting it into her storage pouch. After the pouch was filled, she shouted, ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s enough!¡± Rui Ming saw that Dong Xi only had one storage bag. He said in surprise, ¡°Is this enough?¡± ¡°Of course not, but it¡¯s enough for now. Senior Brother, you have to know that no matter what it is, we have to make it rare for it to be valuable,¡± Dong Xi said solemnly. Dong Xi had only taken a little bit of the Wind-Swallowing Stones. If she took all of them out, how could she make those old fellows bleed? ¡°As expected, Junior Sister is very intelligent,¡± said Rui Ming. At this moment, Dong Xi was like a fox who had seeded. Dong Xi said, ¡°Of course.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s small body could not withstand the hurricane here, but Rui Ming had already put on a protective shield for her. No matter what, Senior Brother Rui Ming was much better than Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother in this aspect. When Rui Ming and Dong Xi came out, Shangguan Yun¡¯er had already picked up a lot of wood crystal stones. However, because she did not have a storage bag, she could only tear off a piece of her dress and wrap it up. Rui Ming only nced at her casually and said, ¡°This should be enough.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately let out a sigh of relief. She put the crystals away and ced it in front of Rui Ming. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Senior, please ept it.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er lowered her head, not daring to look up at all. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was afraid of Rui Ming. Back then, the Shangguan Patriarch had dug out his heart. Now, even if Rui Ming killed Shangguan Yun¡¯er at will, he would not have to bear any karma. After all, the Shangguan family was in the wrong. Chapter 427 - 427 Junior Sister? 427 Junior Sister? Fortunately, Rui Ming did not want to make a move on Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Rui Ming waved his hand and all the crystals were in his hands. Rui Ming kept these crystals and then looked at Dong Xi. Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, are we leaving now?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er, ¡°??¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes instantly widened. She looked at Rui Ming and then at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said hesitantly, ¡°You called her¡­ Junior Sister?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi looked at Rui Ming with a helpless expression. In the end, it was Senior Brother Rui Ming who exposed her identity. When she entered the Shangguan Residence, Dong Xi¡¯s ambition did note true. Forget squandering all of the Shangguan family¡¯s property, now, she might not even be able to enter the mansion. She had not even taken back her capital, and Senior Brother Rui Ming had already exposed her! Dong Xi¡¯s eyes became more and more resentful, and Rui Ming also felt embarrassed. Rui Ming coughed lightly and tried to move Shangguan Yun¡¯er away. Shangguan Yun¡¯erpletely ignored Rui Ming. Shangguan Yun¡¯er stared straight at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Husband¡­ You¡¯re a woman?¡± Dong Xi lowered her head. She knew that there was a high chance that she could not hide this matter anymore, so she could only transform back into a woman. However, there was not much difference. Her eyes were still the same, and her hair was still as long. However, her face was gentler and she looked like a girl. Dong Xi stammered as she exined, ¡°Madam¡­ This is really a misunderstanding.¡± Dong Xi waspletely in the wrong. At that time, she had identally caught the embroidered ball, but she did not exin it to the people of the Shangguan Residence. Instead, she had helped Senior Brother Rui Ming find what he was looking for. On the way back, Shangguan Yun¡¯er kept looking at Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s face was cold. When he arrived at the restrictive spell and saw a group of Soul Formation cultivators, her expression changed slightly. The group of people saw that Dong Xi had not only brought a woman out, but also a man who they had never seen before. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re finally out!¡± ¡°Senior, did you see that demon beast when you went in?¡± ¡°Senior, have you obtained the Wind-Swallowing Stones?¡± ¡­ Hearing all kinds of questions, Dong Xi felt that these Soul Formation cultivators were like a group of curious babies, asking questions non-stop. Dong Xi waved her hand to silence everyone. Dong Xi took out five Wind-Swallowing Stones and showed them to everyone. Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ll take out five pieces. Whoever offers the highest price will get it!¡± When everyone heard this, they began to bid. ¡°Senior, I offer a Marriage Talisman.¡± ¡°You want to exchange a talisman for a Wind-Swallowing Stone? Are you still asleep? Senior, I¡¯ll create a space for demon beasts. In this Demon Beast Space, you can raise three demon beasts.¡± ¡°Senior, I offer 100,000 top-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°Senior, do youck spirit stones? I¡¯ll give you a Spirit nt Space that could cultivate spirit nts in half the time!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi was moved by every word these people shouted. She even felt that the five stones that she was offering were too little. Rui Ming did not expect that the Wind-Swallowing Stones that were everywhere were actually so valuable. It was true that he was envious, but he could also stick to his bottom line. Dong Xi selected the items she needed from the bids of these people and asked Rui Ming to trade for him. It was not that Dong Xi did not want to deal with them personally, but that she was afraid that once she went close to these people, they would see through Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation background. These Soul Formation cultivators checked the Wind-Swallowing Stones they had obtained. When they raised their heads, they found that Dong Xi and the other two had disappeared. After Dong Xi left, she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve struck it rich this time. Senior Brother, I want that Demon Beast Space. The rest are yours,¡± Dong Xiughed and said. However, after thinking about it, he realized that Rui Ming had used the Wind-Swallowing Stone to exchange for these. Dong Xi said again, ¡°Of course, if Senior Brother also needs it, I can give it to you.¡± When Rui Ming heard this, he looked at Dong Xi in surprise. Rui Ming said, ¡°As an alchemist, you actually don¡¯t want the Spirit nt Space?¡± For alchemists, anything that cultivates spirit nts in half the time was good. However, Dong Xi did not want it. Although it was indeed good, Dong Xi still had many spirit nts in the Frog Space. She did not need them at all. Instead, the Demon Beast Space was more useful. The main reason was that Dong Xi could not stand that Da Niu could just walk out of the Demon Beast Bag whenever he wanted, and Songsong could not stand it either. ¡°I¡¯ve already said that Senior Brother will take the biggest share,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°So, I can just take this Demon Beast Space.¡± Rui Ming returned the items that Dong Xi had handed over to her. He said, ¡°Take it and y with it. Senior doesn¡¯t need these.¡± Rui Ming was already so old, and he had seen many things. These were just child¡¯s y to him. Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who was at the side, looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s expression became even stranger. So, Dong Xi¡­ Is also an alchemist? Dong Xi looked at the treasure in her hands. Without waiting for her to say anything, Rui Ming carried her onto his back and they left the ce in an instant. Chapter 428 - 428 Go Back? 428 Go Back? It had to be mentioned that after Senior Brother Rui Ming became an adult, his speed was even faster than lightning. When Dong Xi arrived, she had flown for almost two hours on the little turtle. On the way back, she had not even thought of a reason to exin herself before she already arrived at the destination. Shangguan Yun¡¯er stepped on the sand and looked at the familiar yet strange ind. It seemed like a lifetime ago. After all these years, Shangguan Yun¡¯er had finally rxed. She did not have to worry about dying at any time, nor did she have to live with the lives of others. When Shangguan Yun¡¯er was in a daze, Rui Ming said, ¡°Are we going back?¡± Without waiting for Shangguan Yun¡¯er to speak, Dong Xi directly said, ¡°I have to go back.¡± When Rui Ming heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he was very surprised. He was asking Shangguan Yun¡¯er just now, but he did not expect Dong Xi to answer him directly. Rui Ming said, ¡°What are you going back for?¡± ¡°I¡¯m helping you settle the score, of course,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Let¡¯s ask Shangguan Patriarch if it¡¯s fun to dig out someone else¡¯s heart. Since he loved his daughter so much, why not dig out his own heart? There shouldn¡¯t be such a big rejection between father and daughter. Perhaps Shangguan Patriarch will give the heart to Madam, and Madam can still cultivate¡­¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er, ¡°¡­¡± Rui Ming, ¡°?¡± The two of them were confused. Shangguan Yun¡¯er could understand at first, but as she spoke, she could not understand anymore. Dong Xi looked at the two people¡¯s confused expressions and continued, ¡°Anyway, we have to go back and get an exnation from Shangguan Patrairch. If we can¡¯t, Shangguan Patriarch has to pay for Madam¡¯s life extension.¡± Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi¡¯s serious expression. Rui Ming smiled and said,¡± Alright, Junior Sister, if you want to go back, then go back.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not even have time to say anything before she returned to the Shangguan Residence. When the guard saw Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun¡¯er return, he immediately said, ¡°Young Miss, Young Master, you¡¯re back!¡± The guard looked at Dong Xi with even more fervent eyes than when he saw Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Dong Xi nodded calmly and said, ¡°Is my Father-In-Law awake?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er saw that Dong Xi was going to continue acting, so she did not exin and just obediently followed Dong Xi into the mansion. ¡°He hasn¡¯t woken up yet. We¡¯re all waiting for Young Master toe back and manage the Shangguan Residence,¡± the guard said. Dong Xi walked directly to the Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s room, Rui Ming was at the side, leisurely following behind. The restriction in front of the Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s house was opened, and the guard immediately stopped. The guard said, ¡°Young Master, after you please.¡± Dong Xi directly walked in, Rui Ming also walked in. Just as Shangguan Yun¡¯er was about to follow, the guard stopped her. The guard immediately released his hand, but the restriction was already closed. The guard said, ¡°Please forgive me, Young Miss.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was about to get angry when she saw a person walking out from not far away. This person said, ¡°Young Miss.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er raised her head and found that it was Little Ya. ¡°What right do you have to stop me from visiting my father?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. ¡°Old Master isn¡¯t here. Miss,e with me,¡± Little Ya said respectfully. Shangguan Yun¡¯er followed Little Ya to the room next door. When she saw her father sleeping soundly, Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately understood that Dong Xi and the others had fallen into Little Ya¡¯s trap. ¡°How dare you use the restrictive spell in my father¡¯s room to confine the Young Master?!¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. Little Ya still had a respectful look on her face. Little Ya said, ¡°Young Miss, the identity of the Young Master is not simple. I don¡¯t dare to gamble with the future of our Shangguan Residence. I can only detain him for the time being and wait for the Old Master to wake up before making a decision.¡± After that, Little Ya looked Shangguan Yun¡¯er up and down with concern. Little Ya said, ¡°Miss, are you alright?¡± When Young Miss left, she was on the verge of death. When she came back, she was indeed full of life. No one knew what she had experienced outside. However, this also proved that the Young Master was definitely not simple. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± said Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°You¡¯d better let them out quickly. Otherwise, if anything happens to me, you won¡¯t have a good ending.¡± The current Shangguan Yun¡¯er was much tougher than before, but Little Ya pretended not to hear her. ¡°Someone, send the Young Miss back to rest,¡± Little Ya said immediately. ¡°Young Miss is already tired.¡± Little Yue walked over from afar. ¡­ Dong Xi immediately understood what was going on when she saw the restriction closing behind her. Rui Ming frowned and was about to lift his hand to break the restriction when he was stopped by Dong Xi. ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t be anxious,¡± said Dong Xi. Rui Ming was very puzzled. They had already been locked up, and she was still not anxious? ¡°We can still get out of here. What¡¯s the rush?¡± Dong Xi continued with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s see what these people want to do.¡± When Rui Ming heard this, he put down his hand, and the wind de he summoned dissipated. Chapter 429 - 429 Curse 429 Curse Dong Xi also entered the room without any courtesy. After looking around the room, she knew that the people from the Shangguan Residence wanted to use this restriction to trap the two of them. Not long after, Little Ya¡¯s image appeared in the room. Little Ya said, ¡°Young Master, you can even cure Young Miss. Now, we¡¯ll let you take a look at Old Master, okay? If Old Master wakes up, he will definitely let you out.¡± ¡°If I can¡¯t even see the patient, how can I cure him?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Where is Father-In-Law? Little Ya, you can¡¯t be thinking of swallowing the Shangguan Residence, right?¡± Little Ya¡¯s image blurred for a moment, and Dong Xi¡¯s lips curled into a smile. After a while, the people outside brought the unconscious Shangguan Patriarch in. Dong Xi took a look and pretended to take Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s pulse. At this time, Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. Su Cheng said, ¡°Don¡¯t waste your time. This old fellow is cursed.¡± ¡°Curse?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. ¡°The stronger the person who cursed the old man is, the more miserable the old man will be,¡± said Su Cheng. ¡°Who was the one who cursed Shangguan Patriarch?¡± asked Dong Xi. Before Dong Xi could finish speaking, she looked at Senior Brother Rui Ming, who was standing high up in the air and had nothing to do with her. Dong Xi immediately recalled that a long time ago, she had seen a book in the sect¡¯s library called ¡®Records of the Immortal World¡¯. There was a saying in it. Cranes were auspicious beasts. If anyone hurt a crane, they would be cursed by the bloodline power of the crane n. This¡­ It really was karma. Senior Brother Rui Ming was only at the third level of Qi Refinement before, so of course it would not affect him much. But now, Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s cultivation was unfathomable, and he actually counterattacked Shangguan Patriarch to such an extent? Although curses were good, Dong Xi felt that Shangguan Patriarch was sleeping soundly without feeling any pain or itch. This old fellow had really gotten off easy. Everyone would pay the price for what they had done, so before doing anything, they had to think clearly about the price. Dong Xi looked at Senior Brother Rui Ming and said, ¡°Senior Brother, aren¡¯t we letting him off too easily by letting him sleep like this? Shouldn¡¯t we do something else?¡± Shangguan Patriarch opened his eyes and saw a familiar face. Shangguan Patriarch thought for a long time but could not remember who he was. He only remembered his surname. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°You¡¯re Dong¡­¡± ¡°Dong Li,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s right, Dong Li,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch immediately. Shangguan Patriarch sat up and rubbed his temples. He said, ¡°Why am I here?¡± Shangguan Patriarch only remembered fainting in the Secret Realm. Rumor had it that there were many good treasures in the Secret Realm. Shangguan Patriarch had picked an eighth-grade spirit nt and suddenly fainted. ¡°I brought you back here,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi suspiciously. This Son-In-Law looked really harmless. Shangguan Patriarch said in disbelief, ¡°You did?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Father-In-Law. Although I¡¯m not very capable, Senior Brother is amazing!¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch then looked at Rui Ming at the side. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°This is¡­¡± However, halfway through, Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s expression changed drastically. Shangguan Patriarch said coldly, ¡°You¡­ Why did you appear in my mansion?¡± Rui Ming still had an indifferent look on his face. Rui Ming said, ¡°Of course, I want to take back what belongs to me.¡± Rui Ming¡¯s words made Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s heart skip a beat. He immediately used his divine sense to scan the surroundings and found that other than the Sea Demon Lamp, there was actually no one else. Shangguan Patriarch did not know what had happened, but he knew that he was no match for this crane. Shangguan Patriarch stretched out his hand towards Dong Xi, wanting to capture her and threaten this crane. However, he did not expect that Dong Xi could easily hold down Shangguan Patriarch with just one hand. ¡°Father-In-Law, I¡¯m a little ttered that you¡¯re willing to be so intimate with me,¡± said Dong Xi. When Shangguan Patriarch heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he felt a little strange. Shangguan Patriarch was also very angry. What was even more terrifying was that Shangguan Patriarch found that he could not use his spiritual power no matter what. ¡°What did you do to me?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked immediately. ¡°Father-In-Law, didn¡¯t you notice?¡± Dong Xi shrugged. ¡°The three of us are trapped here. Someone else used your restriction to trap the three of us.¡± ¡°What?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked in surprise. Then, Shangguan Patriarch thought of Little Ya. After all, Shangguan Patriarch knew what Little Ya was thinking. However, this person¡¯s thoughts were veryplicated and he was not a good match for Yun¡¯er. Therefore, Shangguan Patriarch pretended not to know, and even created the embroidered ball matchmaking concept for Yun¡¯er. Chapter 430 - 430 People on the Same Boat 430 People on the Same Boat Shangguan Patriarch had thought that as long as he was still alive, Yun¡¯er would have a smooth life. However, he did not expect that he would encounter an ident in the Secret Realm. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s expression and said, ¡°I think you should have guessed what happened, right?¡± Shangguan Patriarch did not speak. Dong Xi continued, ¡°I¡¯m just as worried about Yun¡¯er as you are. Father-In-Law, we¡¯re on the same boat.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m that gullible?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked. ¡°Tell me, what do you want?¡± !! ¡°What do I want?¡± Rui Ming said disdainfully. ¡°I can kill you with a casual wave of my hand.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Shangguan Patriarch said. It had been many years since anyone had dared to speak to Shangguan Patriarch like this. Dong Xi said, ¡°Father-In-Law, you don¡¯t have any spiritual power now. We can help you recover your spiritual power and save Yun¡¯er, but we need you to do something. Are you willing?¡± Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°Can you save Yun¡¯er?¡± Dong Xi did not panic at all and said meaningfully, ¡°My Senior Brother has recovered. Yun¡¯er¡¯s heart¡­¡± Although she stopped mid-sentence, she had already said what he needed to say. Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s expression was very ugly. He said, ¡°You dug out Yun¡¯er¡¯s heart?¡± He clearly revealed the anger with his tone. ¡°No,¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°A day as husband and wife is a hundred days of love. Besides, I can¡¯t be as fierce as you, Father-In-Law.¡± Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s expression immediately became better. Dong Xi continued, ¡°It¡¯s just that the life force in the heart is slowly disappearing.¡± ¡°You!¡± Shangguan Patriarch cursed angrily. ¡°You are all animals!¡± ¡°Father-In-Law, how can you say that?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°Taking back your own things makes you a beast?¡± Dong Xi kept calling him Father-In-Law, which made Shangguan Patriarch even angrier. He clutched his chest and said, ¡°You said that you deliberately snatched the embroidered ball back then?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really not like that. Everything is arranged by fate,¡± Dong Xi waved her hand and said. Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Father-In-Law, I wonder if you¡¯ve heard of the Crane n¡¯s Curse?¡± When Shangguan Patriarch heard this, his expression became even uglier. In an instant, everything that had happened to the Shangguan Patriarch during this period of time could be exined. ¡°Since you¡¯re here for revenge, juste to me. Don¡¯t hurt my daughter,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°The one who hurt your daughter is someone else. Don¡¯t you want to get better and protect your daughter?¡± Dong Xi shook her head. Shangguan Patriarch fell silent. He knew that he had no other choice. Due to the Crane n¡¯s curse, the Shangguan Patriarch could not disy even a ten-thousandth of his strength. If the news of him bing a cripple was made known to outsiders, those opponents would definitely make a move against the Shangguan family. Therefore, even if Shangguan Patriarch knew that it was a trap set by the two of them, he had to jump into it. This was an open scheme. Shangguan Patriarch was silent for a long time before he said, ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± Dong Xi said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. The one who tied the bell has to undo it. From now on, you can acknowledge Senior Brother Rui Ming as your Master. Perhaps he can undo the curse on you.¡± As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Shangguan Patriarch frowned and said, ¡°Impossible.¡± Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Patriarch and said with a smile that did not quite reach her eyes, ¡°Father-In-Law, think about it. If my Senior Brother is no longer willing to take in servants, you won¡¯t have any chance to recover.¡± Shangguan Patriarch felt extremely upset. Dong Xi continued, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You could dig out my Senior Brother¡¯s heart, and now you can¡¯t ept being a servant? Sooner orter, you¡¯ll have to pay the price.¡± Shangguan Patriarch was extremely unwilling. If he were to worship the crane as his Master, who knew how these two would torture him? ¡°Junior Brother, let¡¯s go,¡± Rui Ming said straightforwardly. ¡°I told you before that we don¡¯t need any servants.¡± It was a restriction set up by Shangguan Patriarch, so he was still very confident. However, he did not expect that Dong Xi would stop Rui Ming when he saw that he was about to destroy the restriction. Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi in confusion. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, why do you need a butcher¡¯s knife to kill a chicken? Just let Songsong do such a small thing.¡± In front of the two of them, Dong Xi took out Songsong with a smile. Dong Xi grabbed Da Niu¡¯s leg and took both out together. The disobedient little fellow was suddenly dragged out by Dong Xi. The surrounding light made Songsong feel a little ufortable. Songsong blinked and saw everything around her. She immediately cried out with tears in her eyes. Songsong¡¯s voice rang out in Dong Xi¡¯s mind. Songsong said, ¡°Little Xi, can Songsong be out in the open? Are you going to give Songsong a status?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 431 - 431 Where Did You Learn It? 431 Where Did You Learn It? Now that Songsong said this, those who did not know would think that Dong Xi had done something shameful. The main thing was, where did Songsong learn such things? There were such open-minded Senior Brothers and Sisters in the Ningtian Sect? Dong Xi was starting to doubt her life, but it did not affect Songsong¡¯s discipline. Dong Xi said, ¡°You¡¯d better be careful. If you spout nonsense like this in the future, be careful¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish speaking, Songsong released Da Niu¡¯s hand. Songsong covered his eyes and said, ¡°No, you can¡¯t let Songsong go. Songsong is very obedient.¡± Da Niu was suddenly released. He pped his wings a few times, but he could not fly at all and fell to the ground. Dong Xi quickly caught Da Niu and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It was a surprise but not a danger. Dong Xi rubbed Songsong¡¯s head. Seeing Songsong raise her head, Dong Xi gave Songsong a spirit fruit and said, ¡°Songsong, listen to me. Go and remove the restriction at the door.¡± When Songsong heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. Songsong said, ¡°Songsong has finally found a task to be useful with.¡± Songsong jumped down from Dong Xi¡¯s body. Just as she raised her hand, she suddenly stopped and looked at Shangguan Patriarch. Songsong said, ¡°Don¡¯t look. I¡¯m ready to perform.¡± Shangguan Patriarch could not understand the beastnguage, so he had no idea what this little beast was doing. It could only be said that Little Beastie¡¯s hostility was a little inexplicable. Dong Xi understood what he meant and immediately cast a spell. A yellow shield appeared above Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s head. Shangguan Patriarch could not see anything in an instant. Dong Xi said, ¡°This little thing is shy if you look at it, Father-In-Law. Please bear with it for a while.¡± Shangguan Patriarch, ¡°¡­¡± It was really like a tiger that had fallen to the ins being bullied by dogs. Shangguan Patriarch also knew that if the spiritual energy could not be restored, this barrier would only be an interlude. In the future, he would be humiliated even more, especially those enemies outside. They would not be so polite¡­ Dong Xi did not care what Shangguan Patriarch thought. She looked at the pine tree at the door and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine now. That guy won¡¯t be able to see us anymore.¡± Songsong was very satisfied with what Dong Xi had done. Facing the restriction, Songsong began to dance. To be honest, Songsong¡¯s dance was indeed not very good. Dong Xi looked simr to the pop dance in her previous life. Even so, Dong Xi still did not disturb Songsong. Dong Xi saw that as Songsong danced, a strange power began to spread from Songsong¡¯s body. Dong Xi tried toprehend it, but she found that she could not understand it at all. She could only give up. In the end, the power that spread out ovepped with each other. The restriction outside the door shook and began to crack. Songsong was very happy when she saw this situation. She jumped up and ran to Dong Xi. Songsong showed off and said, ¡°Little Xi, how is it? Am I very powerful?¡± Dong Xi gave Songsong a thumbs up and said, ¡°Amazing, very amazing! You are the most powerful demon beast I have ever seen!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, an electric current passed by. Dong Xi did not care at all. Rui Ming also looked at Dong Xi in surprise, but Dong Xi did not notice. Songsong happily sat on Dong Xi¡¯s body and said, ¡°The restriction has been opened. Songsong is very tired and needs to rest.¡± ¡°Go back then,¡± said Dong Xi. Songsong hugged Da Niu and said, ¡°Songsong will hug Da Niu to sleep.¡± ¡°Sure, sure,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi could not ask for more. There was no more sound in the room, and it was instantly quiet. Dong Xi looked at Senior Brother Rui Ming and said, ¡°Senior Brother, shall we go?¡± As he spoke, Dong Xi stole a nce at Shangguan Patriarch, wanting to see how this old fellow would react. In the end, seeing that Shangguan Patriarch had not changed at all, Dong Xi directly walked out. Dong Xi did not remove the hood on Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s head. The sound of footsteps could be heard, and Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°Son-In-Law, don¡¯t go. We can discuss anything.¡± Dong Xi immediatelyughed when Shangguan Patriarch called her ¡®Son-In-Law¡¯. No problem, Senior Brother Rui Ming must have a Soul Formation stage servant. This old fellow dug out Senior Brother Rui Ming¡¯s heart, and he would use his entire life to pay for it. Dong Xi stopped walking and deliberately said, ¡°Father-In-Law, what else is there to discuss? I want to help you, but you won¡¯tpromise. Besides, you did such a heinous act like that before. If you don¡¯t agree now, how can we trust you?¡± ¡°What else is there to say? Let¡¯s go,¡± said Rui Ming with a frown. The two of them had only taken two steps when the Shangguan Patriarch immediately said, ¡°I agree, I agree! I¡¯m willing to acknowledge Immortal Master Rui Ming as my Master, is that not enough?¡± Dong Xi¡¯s smile became even more brilliant. Then, she removed the barrier around Shangguan Patriarch and said with some sincerity, ¡°See, if you had agreed earlier, everything would have been fine.¡± Chapter 432 - 432 Master and Servant Contract 432 Master and Servant Contract Under Dong Xi¡¯s witness, Rui Ming and Shangguan Patriarch signed a Master-Servant Contract. Of course, the two of them were not very happy. Rui Ming felt that it did not matter whether he had this servant or not, while Shangguan Patriarch felt that his reputation had been ruined. The moment the contract was formed, the curse that restricted the Shangguan Ancestor began to dissipate, and the Shangguan Ancestor¡¯s spiritual power returned bit by bit¡­ Shangguan Patriarch smiled bitterly. There was no room for regret now. Shangguan Patriarch got up from his bed and prepared to leave. Dong Xi called out. Shangguan Patriarch turned around and saw Dong Xi standing beside Rui Ming. The setting sun shone on Dong Xi¡¯s body, causing the smile on Dong Xi¡¯s face to be somewhat evil. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell your Master before running around?¡± asked Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch was speechless and his face turned red. After a long time, he lowered his head and said, ¡°Master, I want to see my daughter.¡± Dong Xi was very satisfied. Even if it was a fox using the tiger¡¯s might, it was still satisfying. This was how the world is, right? ¡°Go.¡± Rui Ming waved his hand. As soon as Rui Ming finished speaking, Shangguan Patriarch immediately disappeared from where he was. From this speed, Dong Xi could more or less tell that he was trying to escape. Dong Xi heard a sneer and looked at Rui Ming. Although Rui Ming did not say anything, Dong Xi could still feel the carefree feeling from Rui Ming. ¡°Senior Brother, should we go and take a look?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll go find Fellow Daoist Tie Zhu first.¡± Rui Ming shook his head. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± She almost forgot that the three of them came here together. The two of them left the house. The weather outside was not bad, almost the same as the day they came. However, who would have thought that the Shangguan Residence would be turned upside down now? When the two of them left the Shangguan Residence, no one stopped them. The original guards were nowhere to be found. The two of them went to the inn where Tie Zhu was staying. However, when they arrived, they did not see Tie Zhu. They looked around and stopped at the shop next door. Dong Xi was also a little uncertain and could only say, ¡°Senior Brother, look, isn¡¯t that Senior Brother Tie Zhu?¡± Rui Ming said, ¡°It seems to be him¡­ Isn¡¯t that right?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go in and ask,¡± said Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi walked into the shop with Rui Ming following beside her. Arriving at the table, Tie Zhu did not wait for Dong Xi to speak and said in surprise, ¡°Junior Sister?¡± Tie Zhu looked at Rui Ming and asked, ¡°Junior Sister, this is¡­¡± As he got closer, he could see that this person was Senior Brother Tie Zhu. He was just ¡®a little¡¯ fatter than before. Dong Xi looked at Rui Ming and said, ¡°This is Senior Brother Rui Ming.¡± The grilled fish in Tie Zhu¡¯s hand fell onto the table. Tie Zhu looked at Rui Ming up and down. After a long time, Tie Zhu asked doubtfully, ¡°Is it¡­ Is it really Rui Ming?¡± Rui Ming nodded. Tie Zhu said in shock, ¡°Your growth is too fast, even faster than me?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± That was true. One was growing horizontally, and the other was growing vertically. ¡°I still can¡¯t beat Fellow Daoist Tie Zhu,¡± said Rui Ming. Tie Zhu smiled and let the two sit down. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Everyone, sit down. This grilled fish is very delicious. Have a taste.¡± After all, his Senior Brother Tie Zhu was already so fat. After Dong Xi and Rui Ming sat down, Tie Zhu secretly said, ¡°Junior Brother, Junior Sister, while I was waiting for you two, I found something good.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Dong Xi said. What is it?¡± Dong Xi was just asking casually. Tie Zhu gave them a mysterious look. Seeing that the two of them did not understand, Tie Zhu anxiously took out hismunication jade slip and signaled them. Dong Xi finally understood. She had been too busy these two days and had no time to read themunication jade slip. Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip, and the information burst out instantly. Dong Xi was used to such a situation. When the information in the jade slip in her hand was loaded, Dong Xi found Senior Brother Tie Zhu in the message. After opening it, she found that Senior Brother Tie Zhu had sent hundreds of messages. In the beginning, he posted very frequently, with more than ten messages every day. Perhaps because there was no reply, Tie Zhu sent less messages. Most of the time, he would ask where Dong Xi was and if Senior Brother Rui Ming had been found. Thest message read: [Junior Sister, I heard that a Secret Realm will open here in ten days. Shall we go together?] The following message read: [The Secret Realm is restricted to those below the Golden Core realm. It¡¯s only open once every hundred years. We came at the right time this time. Junior Sister, if you don¡¯t make it in time, Senior Brother will go by himself.] ¡­ Dong Xi took the jade slip and looked at Tie Zhu, who was beside him. He found Tie Zhu looking at him. Rui Ming kept the jade slip. Compared to Dong Xi¡¯s excited mood, Rui Ming was very calm. ¡°I can¡¯t go,¡± said Rui Ming. Tie Zhu immediately looked at Rui Ming. He did not expect Rui Ming to say this. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Why can¡¯t you go? Didn¡¯t we agree to advance and retreat together? It¡¯s just a¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, Tie Zhu quickly shut his mouth. Chapter 433 - 433 Mentality 433 Mentality Tie Zhu looked around and found that no one heard him. He whispered, ¡°You don¡¯t even know if it¡¯s dangerous, and you¡¯re just not going? Junior Brother, cultivating is dangerous in itself. Your current mentality can¡¯t do it¡­¡± Hearing Tie Zhu¡¯s words, Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. Then, she understood why Senior Brother Rui Ming said that he could not go. Dong Xi immediately fell silent. If Senior Brother Tie Zhu knew the truth, what would his expression be like? Rui Ming felt that it was too troublesome for them to chat using themunication jade slips when they were sitting together. Rui Ming casually waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier. ¡°My cultivation is too high,¡± said Rui Ming lightly. Tie Zhu could not react to this. After a long time, Tie Zhu said, ¡°Hmm? What do you mean?¡± ¡°Senior Brother Tie Zhu, Senior Brother Rui Ming is saying that his cultivation has already surpassed the Golden Core stage.¡± Dong Xi sighed helplessly. Tie Zhu was shocked and looked at Rui Ming in disbelief. After a long time, Tie Zhu came back to his senses and said, ¡°Really?¡± Rui Ming nodded. Tie Zhu immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to ept it for a moment. ¡°Junior Brother, what exactly did you experience?¡± Tie Zhu asked. He was still in the Qi Refinement stage before. How long had it been since theyst met? He had grown up, and his cultivation had also increased so quickly? Rui Ming shook his head with a mysterious expression. Tie Zhu looked at Dong Xi, who said, ¡°Senior Brother, it¡¯s better for the two of us to go together. Tell me about that Secret Realm in detail.¡± Tie Zhu suppressed his curiosity and said, ¡°Junior Sister, that Secret Realm is called the Sang Luo Secret Realm. It¡¯s an invitation system. Only those who are invited can enter.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately frowned. Dong Xi said, ¡°Invitation? But I didn¡¯t get any invitation.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, don¡¯t worry. Listen to me. Those who are invited can bring five people in,¡± Tie Zhu said. ¡°Hm?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll have to trouble Senior Brother to bring me in to broaden my horizons.¡± Tie Zhu shook his head and said embarrassedly, ¡°It¡¯s not me either. Someone else was invited.¡± Dong Xi was immediately very curious. Senior Brother Tie Zhu knew someone here? ¡°Who is it?¡± asked Dong Xi. Tie Zhu smiled mysteriously. Just then, someone walked out of the kitchen. ¡°I¡¯m here,¡± Tie Zhu said with a smile. He was really short, even shorter than Dong Xi. He had a wild appearance and dark skin. He held a tray full of grilled fish in his hand. ¡°Sir, your fish is here,¡± the man shouted as he walked. Just as Dong Xi was feeling very puzzled, Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in her mind. Su Cheng said, ¡°It¡¯s the Dwarf Race.¡± Dong Xi knew about the Dwarf Race. It was written in the ¡®Records of the Immortal World¡¯. Dwarves were short and had poor eyesight, but every dwarf was born to be a master of refining weapons. As for why this dwarf did not go into refining weapons and instead came to sell grilled fish, Dong Xi did not understand either. However, seeing Senior Brother Tie Zhu who had gained a lot of weight, it could be seen that this dwarf was also a good chef. ¡°Brother Liu!¡± Tie Zhu shouted. However, this person did not seem to hear him at all. Rui Ming waved his hand and removed the soundproof barrier, signaling Tie Zhu to shout again. ¡°Brother Liu!¡± Tie Zhu shouted again. Cui Liu put the grilled fish on the other customers¡¯ tables and then walked over. Cui Liu smiled and said, ¡°Old Tie, what¡¯s the matter?¡± When Dong Xi heard this form of address, she immediately spat out her tea. They all looked at Dong Xi. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Dong Xi was also unable to exin the joke of this form of address. Dong Xi waved her hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I choked just now.¡± ¡°Be careful,¡± Tie Zhu nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re a cultivator, you don¡¯t have to care about your health.¡± Seeing Dong Xi nod obediently, Tie Zhu looked at Cui Liu. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Brother Liu, give me two more tes of grilled fish so that my Junior Sister and Junior¡­¡± Tie Zhu shut his mouth halfway. After knowing Rui Ming¡¯s cultivation, Tie Zhu could not call him Junior Brother no matter what. ¡°No problem. Please wait a moment.¡± Cui Liu nodded. After saying that, Cui Liu ran back to the kitchen. His two short legs were like spinning tops. Dong Xi looked at Tie Zhu eating so happily and suddenly thought of something. Dong Xi said, ¡°Senior Brother, why didn¡¯t he give his spot to anyone else but you?¡± When Rui Ming heard this, he put up the soundproof cover again. Tie Zhu smiled and said, ¡°Because Ie here every day to support him. Brother Liu said that I¡¯m his soulmate. I don¡¯t know if you know my voice or not, but I think this grilled fish is delicious, so I gave him a lot of spirit stones.¡± Tie Zhu smiled and continued, ¡°A while ago, I told him that my Junior Brother had gone to the Shangguan Residence to be a live-in son-inw. That fellow looked envious and said that other cultivators didn¡¯t like him and despised him for being short. I casuallyforted him and said that it was almost the same for me. I¡¯m so fat now, and I can¡¯t find a Dao Companion.¡± Chapter 434 - 434 That’s the Reason? 434 That¡¯s the Reason? Tie Zhu took a bite of the grilled fish and continued, ¡°Perhaps Brother Liu felt that he had a lot to do with me being so fat, so he told me about the Secret Realm and even said that he would bring me along. I thought that if the three of us came together, he would agree to bring you along. He also said that he had no other friends.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi never dreamed that this was the reason. Dong Xi did not know what to say. After a while, Tie Zhu had finished all the grilled fish. Tie Zhu raised his hand and used a cleaning spell. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister, don¡¯t underestimate this Secret Realm. Brother Liu said that there are indeed many good things in this Secret Realm¡­ Something about ice.¡± Tie Zhu frowned, looking distressed. Dong Xi was stunned, and her heart thumped. The cultivation technique began to circte without any warning, and a name immediately appeared in his mind. ¡°Is it Deep Sea Ice?¡± asked Dong Xi. Tie Zhu was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. That¡¯s the name. Look at my brain. I can¡¯t remember anything.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she was a little excited. Dong Xi said, ¡°Yes, I must go! I came for this Deep Sea Ice.¡± Tie Zhu was not surprised to see Dong Xi so excited. He said, ¡°I knew it. No iron elementalist would be able to reject such a good thing.¡± Rui Ming looked at the two people¡¯s excited expressions and suddenly felt a little distressed. Rui Ming said, ¡°If I had known this would happen, I would have recoveredter. I could have gone to the Secret Realm with you.¡± Dong Xi and Tie Zhu, who were originally excited, instantly fell silent when they heard this. Dong Xi red at Rui Ming. Dong Xi said in disdain, ¡°A full man really doesn¡¯t know how hungry a hungry man is.¡± ¡°Junior Sister is right,¡± Tie Zhu immediately said. ¡°Forget it, you guys go. I¡¯ll stay in the Shangguan Residence and clean up the mess.¡± Rui Ming sighed lightly. Dong Xi was a little worried. She said, ¡°Senior Brother, why don¡¯t you wait for me toe back and stay with you? Shangguan Patriarch is full of tricks. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll fall into his trap.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, have you forgotten that he already has a contract with me?¡± said Rui Ming with a smile. Moreover, Shangguan Yun¡¯er still had to rely on Rui Ming to continue living. Now, the Shangguan family was under Rui Ming¡¯s control, and they still dared to rebel? Dong Xi thought that this was also the case. Dong Xi said, ¡°I just feel that you¡¯re too kind and shouldn¡¯t care about such a trivial matter.¡± Tie Zhu was confused. He could not understand a single word these two said. However, Tie Zhu was very smart. He did not ask what he should not know and just lowered his head to eat the grilled fish. There was no such thing as seasoning in the cultivation world. It was already good enough to add salt. Basically, they were all concerned about the original taste. However, Cui Liu¡¯s grilled fish actually had something on top of it. It was fluorescent, and Dong Xi did not dare to eat it for a moment. However, seeing that Senior Brother Rui Ming had already finished one, Dong Xi also took a bite. It was indeed very good. This seasoning had a little mint vor, which just got rid of the fishy smell. The fish meat was also very chewy. Dong Xi suspected that Cui Liu had used his Qi cultivation technique on the grilled fish. Dong Xi ate the fish meat in her mouth and felt the warmth in her Dantian. Dong Xi immediately understood why Senior Brother Tie Zhu had been eating grilled fish. This fish could actually condense spiritual energy in the body! Before Dong Xi could calm down, a group of people barged in and overturned a few tables. One of them shouted arrogantly, ¡°Cui Liu, get out here immediately.¡± Dong Xi was shocked and almost dropped the fish in her hand. Dong Xi looked at the few people who came in. They were all dressed like locals and all of them were fierce. Could they be gangsters? Dong Xi subconsciously looked at Tie Zhu. Senior Tie Zhu was very loyal. If he did not even know what was going on, he would directly help Brother Liu and cause trouble. As expected, Tie Zhu immediately became anxious, as if he was a little aggrieved. Fortunately, Tie Zhu was still rational and sat in his seat obediently. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she looked over, why was Senior Brother Tie Zhu¡¯s posture not right? Dong Xi subconsciously looked at Senior Brother Rui Ming. The moment the two of them looked at each other, Dong Xi instantly understood. Just now, he was still thinking that Senior Brother Tie Zhu had good self-control today, but it turned out that Senior Brother Rui Ming was controlling him from the side! Tie Zhu could not speak or move. He could only stare at these people fiercely. Chapter 435 - 435 Get Out 435 Get Out These people shouted for a long time before Cui Liu came out. Obviously, they did not have much patience. The leader walked straight to the kitchen, and the rest took out their swords, wanting to chase everyone out of the house. However, this ce was different from the human world. It was fine if they wanted to be aggresive, but they just might run into powerhouses they could not afford to offend. In other words, they might just kick an iron te. This time, these people were also unlucky. Of course, this iron te was not Rui Ming, but someone else. Dong Xi looked into the room. Instantly, eight cultivators stood up and shouted. ¡°Who are you asking to get out?¡± ¡°Do you dare fight me?¡± ¡°You people dare to shout at me?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± ¡­ These people who were looking for trouble were naturally not afraid. They had already expected it beforeing. They also knew that those who came here to eat were all below the Golden Core stage. It was rare for people above Golden Core to eat anything. The few people who came were all at thete stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. How could they be afraid of these little brats? ¡°It¡¯s for your own good,¡± one of them said. ¡°Don¡¯t get thrown outter. You¡¯ll lose face.¡± After saying that, this person¡¯s expression was gloomy as he directly threw a spell technique over. Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the binding technique. She said, ¡°That¡¯s a lightning cultivator!¡± She became a little restless. She wanted to be electrocuted to refine her body. However, at this moment, an electric current that was stronger than before spread from Dong Xi¡¯s arm to her spine. Dong Xi was in a deadlock for a moment. When the electric current in her body dissipated, Dong Xi said in his sea of consciousness, ¡°Big Snake, what are you doing?¡± ¡°I granted you your wish,¡± said Su Cheng indifferently. Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Rui Ming seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Dong Xi. Seeing that Dong Xi had quickly returned to normal, Rui Ming continued to watch the show. By this point, Dong Xi could tell that the cultivator who was attacking him was not at the Foundation Establishment stage. To be able to deal with him so easily with just a random magical technique meant that his cultivation base was definitely at the Gold Core stage. The few people who were looking for trouble were also stunned. One of them whispered, ¡°Hurry up and leave.¡± They quickly walked out. After taking two steps, someone whispered, ¡°Boss hasn¡¯te out yet.¡± The person who had attacked just now was at the Golden Core stage. There might be two or three people with the same cultivation level among the others. These troublemakers were no match for them at all. If they stayed here, they would only be beaten up. If they had known this would happen, they would havee back after dark. They felt that it was right and immediately walked out. The guy who said that their Boss had note out yet did not dare to stay here when he saw that his brothers had left. He followed them out. Even after he left, he still could not figure out why there were so many experts in a grilled fish shop. Rui Ming saw that they left, and then released the restriction on Tie Zhu. Tie Zhu was worried about Brother Liu and immediately went to the kitchen. As soon as they entered, they saw Cui Liu and the leader confronting each other. The leader said, ¡°You still have five spots. I have four brothers. Can¡¯t you bring them in?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve already given out the quota,¡± said Cui Liu. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to give me face? Don¡¯t be shameless!¡± said the leader. Cui Liu said fearlessly, ¡°If you have the ability, then kill me. I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯ve given it away.¡± ¡­ Seeing this scene, Tie Zhu quickly put on his boxing gloves. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Brother Liu.¡± Cui Liu was excited when he saw Tie Zhu. Cui Liu said, ¡°Old Tie!¡± The leader saw that his brother had note in, but this fatty hade in. Then, he saw Tie Zhu standing in front of Cui Liu. Tie Zhu clenched his fists and said, ¡°Still arrogant? Your little brothers have already abandoned you and ran away.¡± The leader was stunned at first, then said, ¡°Ran away? That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t believe me?¡± Tie Zhu said lightly. ¡°It¡¯s been so long, and I¡¯m the only one who came in. None of your brothers came in. What do you think?¡± The leader looked at the kitchen door. Indeed, no one hade in. Tie Zhu saw that this person was guilty and unstable, so he continued to hit his fists. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Do you want to go out and take a look?¡± Hearing this, the leader¡¯s face darkened. Without saying anything, he took out hismunication jade slip and sent a message to his brothers. [Where are you guys? Why aren¡¯t youing in yet?] The other side also replied instantly. [Boss, hurry up and run. There are a few Golden Core stage cultivators outside.] The leader was a little flustered. He and his brothers were all frence martial artists. They usually knew how to avoid disadvantages. Who would have thought that there would be more than one Golden Core stage cultivator in such a shop?! Chapter 436 - 436 Should We Run? 436 Should We Run? Tie Zhu also heard the voice from the jade slip. Seeing that the person was stunned, Tie Zhu said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, should we run?¡± The leader raised his head and looked coldly at Tie Zhu. In the next second, Tie Zhu saw that person throw something over. Tie Zhu instinctively kicked it away. That thing exploded in the air and directly destroyed half of the kitchen. Dong Xi was already worried about Tie Zhu. Hearing such a loud noise, she immediately rushed over. Seeing the two of them covered in dust and dirt, as well as half of the destroyed kitchen, Dong Xi could not help but inhale sharply. Dong Xi said, ¡°Amazing, there are even firearms and explosives?¡± Of course, it was not explosives like in her previous life. The leader was a fire-elemental cultivator who stored his fire spiritual energy in a magic weapon. This magic tool was particrly explosive. Its material was Gray Ripple Stone, and its structure was extremely unstable. Once the seal was opened, it would have the same power as a thermal weapon. Dong Xi immediately used a cleaning spell. Tie Zhu and Cui Liu were cleaned up a little, revealing their original appearances. The kitchen was clean again, so it was a ce to stay. Dong Xi looked around the kitchen but did not find the leader. ¡°He ran away?¡± asked Dong Xi. Tie Zhu shrugged helplessly. ¡°Probably.¡± Then, Tie Zhu looked at Cui Liu and said, ¡°Brother Liu, why don¡¯t we not go to that Secret Realm?¡± Tie Zhu wanted to go, but he could find another way to get the quota. Tie Zhu would feel bad if he dragged his friend down because of this matter. When Cui Liu heard this, he was anxious. Cui Liu said, ¡°How can I? Even if I don¡¯t go myself, I¡¯ll let you go. You¡¯re still young. If you encounter a good opportunity, your future will definitely be bright.¡± Dong Xi was listening to their conversation from the side. She blinked her eyes and could tell that those people were not here for revenge, but for the spots. Dong Xi was speechless for a moment. They were already so stupid, yet they could still reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Their ancestors must have blessed them. Since they came for the quota, why did they not choose toe when there were fewer people? Why did theye when there were more people? Dong Xi guessed that those Golden Core cultivators also knew about Cui Liu¡¯s secret, so they all came to eat. Not only could they satisfy their appetite, but they could also condense spiritual energy by eating fish. Such an opportunity was rare. Hearing that the two were still trying to convince each other, Dong Xi could not help but say, ¡°How about¡­ Selling thest spot?¡± Cui Liu and Tie Zhu were stunned and looked at Dong Xi at the same time. ¡°It¡¯s fine if no one else knows about what happened today,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°But now that almost everyone knows about it, it¡¯s better to sell it openly. This way, you can also bring allies. If you get picked on again, your allies will also help you for the Secret Realm quota.¡± Cui Liu was stupid, and so was Tie Zhu. Before Dong Xi suggested selling the spots, the two of them had never thought that they could earn money by selling the spots. ¡°Indeed, humans are smart,¡± Cui Liu said while stroking his chin. ¡°Who said that?¡± Tie Zhu asked indifferently. Cui Liu looked at Tie Zhu for a long time and said, ¡°That¡¯s true. You can¡¯t make the same generalizations.¡± When Dong Xi heard their words, she almost could not help butugh out loud. Fortunately, she managed to hold it in. Cui Liu said, ¡°There are still two spots left after I gave them to you. Human hearts are unpredictable. It¡¯s better not to sell them. What if those two aren¡¯t good people and hurt us again?¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist Cui, you can sell all of these spots,¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said. Cui Liu immediately said, ¡°How can I?!¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist Cui, don¡¯t worry. Listen to me,¡± Dong Xi continued. Cui Liu frowned and looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, don¡¯t worry. My father-inw will help us buy the spots back.¡± Tie Zhu, ¡°?¡± ¡°Junior Sister, have you always been the son-inw of the Shangguan family?¡± Tie Zhu asked in disbelief. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± asked Dong Xi. Anyway, Dong Li was the son-inw of the Shangguan family. What did it have to do with Dong Xi? ¡°Junior Sister, I rarely admire others in my life, but I really admire you!¡± Tie Zhu said. ¡°Senior Brother, you don¡¯t have to be so polite,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Cui Liu was an honest man, but he was able to gain a foothold in the Void Ocean. Naturally, he was not a fool. Cui Liu looked at Dong Xi in shock when he heard their conversation. Cui Liu said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you the son-inw of the Shangguan family?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me!¡± Dong Xi said proudly. Cui Liu heard this and frowned again. Cui Liu said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, isn¡¯t it inappropriate for us to lie to Shangguan Patriarch like this?¡± Chapter 437 - 437 How Can It Be Fake? 437 How Can It Be Fake? ¡°What do you mean by ¡®lying¡¯?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Fellow Daoist Cui, is it true that you are selling the quota?¡± Cui Liu nodded and Dong Xi continued, ¡°It¡¯s also true that we have a spot, right?¡± Cui Liu still nodded. Dong Xi said, ¡°So, how can this be fake? How can I be lying?¡± Cui Liu thought about it and said, ¡°It seems¡­ That¡¯s right. But I already nned to give you guys the spots anyway!¡± Dong Xi sighed softly. No wonder the dwarf race was bullied. They were so honest. It was indeed easy to suffer. On the contrary, the caption was smart this time. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Brother Liu, it¡¯s fine if you want to give it to us. Shangguan Patriarch loves his son-inw dearly. You have to help him!¡± Cui Liu looked at Tie Zhu as if he was looking at a fool. Cui Liu said, ¡°He dotes on his son-inw, but he doesn¡¯t dote on you. Why are you speaking for her?¡± Cui Liu also did not understand why Tie Zhu called her ¡®Junior Sister¡¯ and why she was the son-inw of the Shangguan Patriarch. Was this person a man or a woman? Cui Liu scratched his head in confusion. The rtionship between humans was too chaotic. Cui Liu could not understand it at all. ¡°I¡¯m the Senior Brother of the Shangguan family¡¯s Patriarch¡¯s son-inw, so I¡¯m also a rtive. Isn¡¯t it normal for me to curry favor with the inws?¡± Tie Zhu said. Dong Xi did not expect Tie Zhu to be so smart. However, when he thought of his fellow disciples in the sect, Dong Xi smiled. Shangguan Patriarch would never have dreamed that there would be so many inws. Tie Zhu¡¯s random and unreasonable words had actually convinced Cui Liu. Cui Liu said, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± But soon, Cui Liu had a new worry. He frowned and said, ¡°Then where should I go to sell this quota?¡± ¡°To the Rainbow Store,¡± said Dong Xi directly. Tie Zhu and Dong Xi looked at each other. Tie Zhu asked doubtfully, ¡°Rainbow Store?¡± After thinking for a moment, Tie Zhu continued, ¡°But there¡¯s no Rainbow Store in the Void Sea!¡± Cui Liu nodded as well. Dong Xi said lightly, ¡°There will be one in three days. Fellow Daoist, why don¡¯t you wait for three days?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Cui Liu said. After a while, someone outside shouted, ¡°Brother Liu, serve the grilled fish!¡± Cui Liu looked at the kitchen. There were ingredients for grilling fish, but the fish pond had been blown up. The fish had already been blown into pieces. How could he continue to roast fish? Cui Liu had no choice but to go out and apologize to everyone, asking them toe back tomorrow. The Golden Core stage cultivator who attacked at the beginning looked annoyed. This person said, ¡°Why are you only serving one customer today? Today is myst day here. I still want to satisfy my appetite.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi had never seen the ingredients on grilled fish before. What kind of spirit nt was it? It actually had such an effect? Dong Xi pondered and left with Tie Zhu and Rui Ming. The sun was very strong and hot. Almost all the water-type cultivators had put up a protective shield. Such hot weather was perfect for fire element cultivators like Dong Xi. Tie Zhu raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat off his forehead. ¡°Senior Brother, Junior Sister, have you noticed that the weather seems to be getting hotter and hotter?¡± Dong Xi and Rui Ming both felt refreshed and said at the same time, ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± ¡°How could this be?¡± Tie Zhu asked in confusion. ¡°Am I the only one who feels hot?¡± ¡°Senior Brother, could it be because you¡¯ve gotten fatter recently?¡± Dong Xi asked with a smile. Tie Zhu, ¡°¡­¡± Perhaps there was such a possibility. ¡°Junior Sister, where are we going?¡± Tie Zhu asked with a cough. Dong Xi looked at the people on the street and said, ¡°You guys go back and rest. I¡¯ll walk around the streets.¡± Tie Zhu nodded. He really did not want to wander outside on such a hot day. Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi and nodded in agreement. Rui Ming and Tie Zhu returned to the inn together. As soon as they entered, they saw the waiter wiping the sweat off his forehead with a towel. The waiterined, ¡°Why is it getting hotter and hotter every day?¡± When Tie Zhu, who was about to go upstairs, heard this, he immediately turned around and walked towards the waiter. ¡°Waiter, you¡¯ve also noticed that it¡¯s getting hot?¡± asked Tie Zhu. The waiter sighed and said, ¡°Of course. Although I have a water spirit root, I have all the other four spirit roots. I have been cultivating for many years, but I haven¡¯t reached the second level of Qi Refement. It¡¯s so hot now. The spiritual Qi in my body is useless.¡± ¡°I remember that the weather wasn¡¯t this hot when I first arrived here.¡± Tie Zhu nodded. The waiter replied, ¡°Of course not. Look at the spirit nts in the backyard. They¡¯re all dying. I¡¯ve been here for more than 30 years, but I¡¯ve never seen such hot weather before.¡± ¡°Why is it like this all of a sudden?¡± Tie Zhu immediately asked. ¡°Did this happen in the Void Sea in the past?¡± Chapter 438 - 438 Treasure About to Appear 438 Treasure About to Appear The waiter thought for a moment and said, ¡°No. Although it was hot in the past, it wasn¡¯t just right now. I heard from other people that the weather is so abnormal. It¡¯s either a disaster or good luck. Moreover, many people havee to the Void Sea recently. There should be some treasure that¡¯s about to appear.¡± As he spoke, the waiter revealed a fascinated expression. The next second, the waiter sighed and said, ¡°But it has nothing to do with me. With my cultivation level, I can¡¯t even earn some spirit stones to keep it, let treasures.¡± Tie Zhu chatted with the waiter for a while before returning to his room. Dong Xi strolled around the street a few times and found a shop to help Second Brother open a branch of Rainbow Store here. The Rainbow Store was open in almost all areas of the Eastern Continent, and only the Void Sea did not have it. If she could use this opportunity to open the Rainbow Store in the Void Sea, wouldn¡¯t Senior Brother Song Qingfeng give her more shares? Dong Xi was very particr about the location. ording to Senior Brother Song Qingfeng¡¯s publicity skills, even if it was extremely remote, people would know. Therefore, it did not matter whether it was in central. What was important was that the ce had to berge enough. While Dong Xi was looking for a shop, she sent a message to Xiao Han, asking her to send someone over. Opening a shop was not something Dong Xi could decide on by himself. Fortunately, Dong Xi was now considered half a member of the Void Sea. With Shangguan Patriarch as her backer, opening a shop was much easier. After strolling around for the whole morning, Dong Xi looked at two ces. After a few moments of silence, she decided to wait for the people from the Rainbow Store to arrive. Dong Xi walked into the inn while waving his folding fan. When Tie Zhu saw Dong Xi return, he said, ¡°Junior Sister, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I can¡¯t be mistaken.¡± Only then did Dong Xi seriously feel it. After a moment, Dong Xi opened his eyes and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. The fire element in the air has indeed be denser.¡± When Tie Zhu heard this, he immediately smiled, his eyes narrowing into a line. Tie Zhu told Dong Xi what the waiter had said. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Sister, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Could it have something to do with the Secret Realm we¡¯re going to?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that,¡± said Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi directly took out a pen and paper. Although she could not be sure, she could still calcte it. Therefore, sometimes, it was still very useful to have learned such a skill. The result of the calction made Dong Xi very surprised. He actually didn¡¯t calcte it. The divination that he had calcted had no solution, which meant that this time, it would be filled with uncertainty. Dong Xi looked at the results and was very surprised. Dong Xi had guessed that it would not be easy to find the Deep Sea Extreme Ice, but she did not expect that the divination would be unsolvable. Tie Zhu looked at Dong Xi¡¯s shocked expression and could not understand why she suddenly started to write and draw. Moreover, Tie Zhu could not understand what she was writing at all. ¡°Junior Sister, what are these?¡± Tie Zhu asked curiously. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just writing it for fun.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. It¡¯s fine if she could not calcte this fortune. She had two masters from Destiny Valley among her friends! At that time, Mo Han had told Dong Xi that he needed to go to the Void Sea to find the Deep Sea Extreme Ice. The first thing Dong Xi thought of now was to look for Mo Han. Dong Xi immediately sent a message to Mo Han. [Fellow Daoist, are you there?] Mo Han replied instantly. [Not here.] Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment and continued to send messages. [Fellow Daoist, can you help me see if I can obtain the Deep Sea Extreme Ice?] Mo Han replied quickly. [I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯m not here.] The corner of Dong Xi¡¯s mouth twitched as she continued to send messages. [Fellow Daoist, don¡¯t make a scene. At most, I can lend you the Deep Sea Extreme Ice to refine your body.] Mo Han saw Dong Xi¡¯s message and coughed. Body refinement? With Mo Han¡¯s body that had no tomorrow, could he still refine his body? That would be a huge joke. Mo Han replied. [No need.] Dong Xi looked at Mo Han¡¯s message and frowned. She sent another message to Mo Han. [Fellow Daoist, you can¡¯t calcte it either?] Mo Han, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi was right. Mo Hanq really could not predict whether Dong Xi would be able to obtain the Deep Sea Extreme Ice or not. Mo Han could not even predict everything about Dong Xi. Dong Xi saw that Mo Han had not replied and realized that what she said was probably the truth. However, on second thought, even Fellow Daoist Mo Han could not predict whether this would be a blessing or a curse. Moreover, there should be some danger this time! Chapter 439 - 439 Fortune 439 Fortune Tie Zhu looked at Dong Xi who was deep in thought while holding the jade slip. He didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Dong Xi. Tie Zhu could not figure it out either. He took out hismunication jade slip and posted a message on the jade slip square. [Does any Fellow Daoist know the reason for the abnormal weather in the Void Sea?] After a while, Tie Zhu and Dong Xi¡¯s jade slips lit up. Tie Zhu first checked the jade slip and saw a reply. [The weather has changed, and the world has changed. Fellow Daoist, this might be your good fortune.] Dong Xi opened the jade slip and saw Mo Han¡¯s message. [Deep Sea Extreme Ice, in a ce of extreme heat¡­ It¡¯s normal that you can¡¯t divine the treasures in such a ce. If you want to obtain them, you should be fully prepared. It¡¯s more important to ensure your own safety.] When Dong Xi saw this message, she knew that Mo Han had not figured it out either. Dong Xi didn¡¯t force him and replied seriously. [Thank you for your advice, Fellow Daoist. If you can really obtain this treasure, I¡¯ll definitely lend it to you to refine your body.] Dong Xi was very serious. In his previous life, she could extend his life by exercising her body when he was sick. Daoist Mo Han¡¯s body was too weak. If he could refine his body, he might be able to extend his life. Dong Xi had just put away the jade slip when Rui Ming came over. Tie Zhu opened the door and let Rui Ming in. Tie Zhu said excitedly, ¡°Who knows? This time, entering the Secret Realm is the chance to change my fate. I have to go this time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going. How can I not go just because it¡¯s a little dangerous?¡± Said Dong Xi. After saying that, Dong Xi stood up and looked at the two of them. Dong Xi said, ¡°Wait for my news at the inn.¡± ¡°Junior Sister, where are you going?¡± Tie Zhu asked immediately. ¡°Of course, we¡¯re going to find our father-inw to sponsor us.¡± Dong Xi turned around and said. Tie Zhu, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Junior Sister is just ying around,¡± said Rui Ming with a smile. ¡°Why do you and Junior Sister talk so strangely?¡± Tie Zhu asked with a confused expression. ¡­ Dong Xi left the inn and returned to the Shangguan Residence. The Shangguan Residence had also returned to its usual order. When the guards at the entrance saw Dong Xi, they were all very respectful. Dong Xi swaggered in. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was sitting in the courtyard painting when she saw Dong Xi. Dong Xi¡¯s slender figure walked over, giving off an otherworldly feeling. Dong Xi clearly did not do anything and was also a person of this chaotic time, but she still looked untainted. Such a person was very attractive. Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not think too much and drew a figure with a few strokes. Dong Xi walked forward. When she saw the painting, she said, ¡°Madam, your drawing is not bad.¡± When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, her expression was very puzzled. ¡°Madam?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. Dong Xi immediately covered Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s mouth and whispered, ¡°Madam, are you okay?¡± Shangguan Yunrui looked even more puzzled. They were all women, so why did Dong Xi live such a wonderful life? Dong Xi retracted her hand and said with a smile, ¡°Madam, in the future, you should draw people. I think your Dao might be here.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned. Dong Xi winked yfully. Dong Xi continued, ¡°I¡¯m going to pay my respects to Father-In-Law. I won¡¯t disturb Madam¡¯s painting for now.¡± After Dong Xi walked far away, Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi¡¯s back and did note back to her senses for a long time. ¡°Painting people?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. After saying that, the pen in his hand fell again. If Dong Xi saw this, she would definitely praise her. The person in the painting was Dong Xi. He was clearly walking over, but for some reason, he felt as if he was getting further and further away. The shadow behind Dong Xi slowly erged, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er also began to ponder. After a long time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er opened her eyes and looked at Little Yue who had been standing beside her. ¡°Little Yue,e with me to the street,¡± said Shangguan Yunrui. ¡°To the street?¡± Xiao Yue asked. ¡°That¡¯s right. Go to the streets. If you want to draw people, you have to understand the human world,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. The people in the Shangguan Residence were all wearing masks, so their faces could not be seen at all. When Dong Xi said that she wanted Shangguan Yun¡¯er to draw people, she was not speaking casually. Dong Xi had just looked at the painting. Although the human figure in the painting was only a faint shadow, Dong Xi had inexplicably sensed some spirituality. Dong Xi knew that the person in the painting was herself. Dong Xi was very gratified. It was not impossible for Shangguan Yun¡¯er to reach the Dao through her painting. Thinking of this, Dong Xi¡¯s mood became much better. With a smile on her face, Dong Xi walked all the way to Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s door. There were no guards at the door. Dong Xi knocked on the door and said, ¡°Father-In-Law, may I enter?¡± Chapter 440 - 440 Fear 440 Fear When Shangguan Patriarch heard Dong Xi¡¯s voice, he immediately came back to his senses. Shangguan Patriarch felt a little terrified. When did this persone? Why did he notice it at all? Could it be that this Son-In-Law¡¯s cultivation was already above the Soul Formation stage? Shangguan Patriarch put away his frightened expression and stood up to walk to the door. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°So it¡¯s you, Son-In-Law. You didn¡¯t go to see Yun¡¯er?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve just met Yun¡¯er. I have something important to discuss with my Father-In-Law,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s eyelids suddenly twitched a few times, and he was a little flustered. He said, ¡°Hmm? What is it?¡± Dong Xi smiled, but this smile was very fake. Dong Xi made an inviting gesture and said, ¡°Father-In-Law, please sit. We¡¯ll sit and talk. We¡¯re all family¡­¡± Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Shangguan Patriarch panicked even more. Shangguan Patriarch sat on a chair and said, ¡°Son-In-Law, what is it? Just say it. My heart is not good and I can¡¯t take it¡­¡± Dong Xi had a smile on her face the entire time. She said, ¡°Father-In-Law has a bad heart? Then why don¡¯t I give you a new heart?¡± Shangguan Patriarch was stunned for a moment and then said, ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. Let¡¯s get down to business. What do you want?¡± ¡°Since Father-In-Law has asked, I won¡¯t hesitate. Do you know about the Sang Luo Secret Realm?¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Sang Luo Secret Realm?¡± Shangguan Patriarch frowned. Of course, he had heard of it. Not only had he heard of it, but he had also been there more than a thousand years ago. ¡°Have you received an invitation?¡± asked Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°It¡¯s precisely because I don¡¯t have any, that¡¯s why I came to find Father-In-Law!¡± Dong Xi shook her head. Shangguan Patriarch pretended to not understand and said, ¡°Umm¡­ What do you mean?¡± ¡°Father-In-Law, do you really not know what I mean?¡± Dong Xi asked with a smile. ¡°Do you want an invitation stone or a quota?¡± Old Master Shangguan frowned. Dong Xi stood up and walked behind Shangguan Patriarch. She stretched out her hand and massaged Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s shoulders. Dong Xi said, ¡°Two spots are enough.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not too difficult,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch immediately. ¡°Go back and wait for me. I¡¯lle to you after I¡¯m done.¡± Hearing Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s agreement, Dong Xi said again. ¡°I know that such a thing won¡¯t be a problem for Father-In-Law.¡± Thinking of this, Shangguan Patriarch suddenly realized that something was wrong. Something was wrong. Wasn¡¯t the secret realm only essible to those below the Golden Core stage? Why did Dong Li want two spots? Could it be that this little thing was not at the Golden Core stage yet? Bah! You¡¯re quite good at pretending! Shangguan Patriarch immediately called Little Ya over. Little Ya¡¯s right eye had already been covered. This was the price for disobedience. Shangguan Patriarch took a sip of tea and said, ¡°Little Ya, I¡¯ll give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you can do it, I¡¯ll return your freedom to you.¡± When Little Ya heard this, he raised his head and looked at Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°This young man is so handsome. It¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s missing an eye,¡± Shangguan Patriarch sighed. Little Ya was so angry that his chest felt tight, but he did not dare to say anything. Shangguan Patriarch continued, ¡°Go and kill Dong Li, and I¡¯ll return your freedom.¡± When Little Ya heard this, he was stunned. Then, he shook his head and said, ¡°Patriarch, I don¡¯t need my freedom.¡± Shangguan Patriarch did not expect Little Ya to say that. Little Ya¡¯s ambition was written all over his face. How could he not want his freedom? ¡± Dong Li is at most a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°Killing him is effortless. Don¡¯t you dare?¡± ¡°Yes, I dare not.¡± Little Ya nodded honestly. ¡°Patriarch, you don¡¯t know. I¡¯m can¡¯t defeat Dong Li at all.¡± ¡°You¡¯re ate-stage Golden Core cultivator, yet you can¡¯t defeat Dong Li?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked in disbelief. ¡°That kid is a little weird,¡± Little Ya said truthfully. ¡°I¡¯ve sparred with him before. I can only use 30 percent of my abilities. I¡¯m no match for him at all.¡± Seeing that Little Ya refused to attack Dong Li no matter what, Shangguan Patriarch could only curse him a few times and then tell him to get lost. If Little Ya was not Dong Li¡¯s match, then the people of the Shangguan Residence would not be Dong Li¡¯s match. This person was so powerful? No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. However, Shangguan Patriarch could not do anything. If that crane knew, would Shangguan Patriarch still be able to live? Shangguan Patriarch pondered for a moment, and finally gave up on the idea of killing Dong Xi, and instead, he decided to rope her in. If he could not beat him, his daughter would bring him to his side. After a few years, she would give birth to a child for Dong Xi. At that time, they would be a family. For the sake of the child, that crane would not make things too difficult for the father and daughter. Chapter 441 - 441 Old Road 441 Old Road Thinking about it, Shangguan Patriarch felt that buying a ce to enter the Secret Realm was eptable. As for where to buy it, Shangguan Patriarch naturally had a way. After all, this was an old road that he had taken before. But on this day, just as Shangguan Patriarch was about to send someone to inquire about the news, he heard a loud bang in the distance. Shangguan Patriarch looked at the sky in the distance and saw a fire cloud appear in the sky. Shangguan Patriarch thought that someone was fighting. Then, a huge signboard appeared. The signboard was supported by a wind formation personally created by Rui Ming. It floated steadily in the air and changed direction to show everyone. Xiao Han looked for Dong Xi privately. Xiao Han said, ¡°Boss, is this really possible?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there won¡¯t be any problems. Since this matter is chaotic, we¡¯ll just take the east wind and make the situation moreplicated,¡± said Dong Xi. After all, she was fishing in troubled waters! Shangguan Patriarch looked at the signboard and fell into deep thought. Were the merchants nowadays so arrogant when doing business? There was a sentence written on the sign. ¡°The quota for the Sang Luo Secret Realm is now avable for sale. The highest price offer will be awarded the quota sale.¡± The pre-sales had not yet been priced. Those who were slightly more powerful naturally wanted to buy a spot for their children. There were also some cultivators who already had invitation stones and wanted to give them away. When they saw the advertisement of the Rainbow Store, they were immediately unwilling to give them away. After all, it seemed that the spots in the Secret Realm were worth a lot of money. Most of the cultivators who were invited were rtively poor. Now that they knew that they could exchange for spirit stones, they secretly went to the Rainbow Store. Many people had evene to the Rainbow Store to start bidding. Dong Xi looked at these people who were bidding and immediately smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve thought of this business move smoothly. Second Senior Brother will definitely praise me when hees back,¡± said Dong Xi. Xiao Han was holding a jade slip in her hand, calcting everyone¡¯s bid. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, Xiao Han smiled and said, ¡°Not only will the owner praise you, but everyone in the Rainbow Store will!¡± Dong Xi waved the folding fan in her hand and said shamelessly, ¡°That¡¯s true. Who wouldn¡¯t like someone like me?¡± In the past, the sry of the Rainbow Store was fixed. After Dong Xi opened the shop in Jinan City, she discussed with Song Qingfeng whether they could pay amission. This made the employees who were originally only paid ten low-grade spirit stones a month all work actively. Everyone knew that Dong Xi had something to do with all these changes. Therefore, Dong Xi became the most popr shareholder of the Rainbow Store. ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± said Xiao Han with a smile. Dong Xi did not continue to boast. She said, ¡°The current price of the quota is not bad, but it¡¯s still not enough. Find some people to manipte public opinion and add fuel to the fire.¡± When Xiao Han heard this, she said in confusion, ¡°Public opinion? What do you mean? What should we do?¡± ¡°Send someone out to tell them that someone has already bid 10,000 top-grade spirit stones,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. When Xiao Han heard this, she immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Xiao Han said, ¡°Boss, is this really okay? Isn¡¯t it too expensive?¡± Dong Xi shook his head. In his previous life, Dong Xi had seen other people selling art pieces at ridiculous prices. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Those mighty figures won¡¯t care about such a small price,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get it done now!¡± Xiao Han said half-heartedly. In the next few days, the rumor started with 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, but it became more and more ridiculous. Now, it had be 30,000 top-grade spirit stones. Cui Liu panicked when he heard the price. He closed the shop and said, ¡°Old Tie, you really don¡¯t know. Those people are looking at me like I¡¯m a treasure. I don¡¯t dare to open my shop at all. I¡¯m afraid that someone will suddenlye in and kill me.¡± Tie Zhu frowned, his expression bing even more serious. Tie Zhu came from arge sect. He had done many missions over the years for points. Tie Zhu had seen too many cases where a man¡¯s wealth could bring him trouble. If this continued, Cui Liu¡¯s worries mighte true. However, Tie Zhu was stupid. His brain could train in the Iron Head Technique, but he really could not think of a way. Tie Zhu patted his head in frustration. ¡°Brother Liu, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go find Junior Sister. She¡¯s smart. She must have a way.¡± Dong Xi saw Tie Zhu¡¯s message on themunication jade slip. She smiled and replied, ¡°Senior Brother, get Cui Liu to go to the Rainbow Store and sell the spots. I¡¯ve told others that the Rainbow Store will provide protection for the cultivators whoe to sell the spots.¡± ¡°What?¡± Tie Zhu immediately replied. There was such a good thing? Why haven¡¯t I heard of it before? Tell Cui Liu now.¡± Dong Xi looked at themunication jade slip, and the smile on her face grew wider. Chapter 442 - 442 Painting Appreciation 442 Painting Appreciation The past did not matter, now, there was such a rule. In this way, some ordinary cultivators who were invited would sell their spots without hesitation. After everything was done, Dong Xi headed straight for the Shangguan Residence. She had been too busy these few days and had not taken care to contact her father-inw. Since she was free today, she could go over and take a look. When Dong Xi arrived at the Shangguan Residence, Shangguan Patriarch happened to be appreciating a painting. Those paintings were all drawn by Shangguan Yun¡¯er. When he saw Dong Xi, Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°Why haven¡¯t I seen Yun¡¯er or you these past few days?¡± Dong Xi said that she was busy cultivating. Shangguan Patriarch nodded his head in relief. Then, he handed the painting in his hand to Dong Xi and said, ¡°Look at Yun¡¯er¡¯s current drawing skills, isn¡¯t it great?¡± Dong Xi took the painting and looked at it for a long time before saying, ¡°Very good.¡± Shangguan Patriarch sighed softly. ¡°I didn¡¯t believe that Yun¡¯er could enter the Dao through paintings and drawings. Now it seems that I was too shallow. If only I had met you earlier.¡± ¡°Father-In-Law, don¡¯t worry. Everything in the world has been decided,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Dong Xi knew why Shangguan Patriarch said this, it was because he did not want to acknowledge Senior Brother Rui Ming as his Master. It did not seem like much now, but as long as Senior Brother Rui Ming gave the order, Shangguan Patriarch had to carry it out. Shangguan Patriarch lightly patted Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder, feeling the surging power of his flesh and blood. He was even more gratified. ¡°Virtuous Son-In-Law, you and Yun¡¯er have been married for a long time. Why is there no movement in Yun¡¯er¡¯s stomach?¡± Shangguan Patriarch asked. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing for you young people to hurry up and cultivate, but you can¡¯t forget about this important matter¡­¡± Dong Xi was speechless. ¡°Father-In-Law, don¡¯t worry. I will work hard,¡± Dong Xi said with a guilty conscience. Shangguan Patriarch patted Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder once again. Everything was said without a word. ¡°Father-In-Law, I heard that someone has raised the price of the quota to 50,000 spirit stones in the past few days. You¡­¡± Dong Xi continued. Shangguan Patriarch wanted to drink some water, but when he heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, his hands trembled and some water spilled out. Shangguan Patriarch said in disbelief, ¡°What is it? 50,000? Are those people crazy?¡± Dong Xi also frowned and said, ¡°I heard it from others. Is it that difficult to go to the Secret Realm once? If that¡¯s the case, this little Son-In-Law will not go¡­¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°Go! How could you not go? Virtuous Son-In-Law, go apany Yun¡¯er first. Since I have promised you, I will definitely help you find a spot.¡± The smile on Dong Xi¡¯s face also became more real. Dong Xi said respectfully, ¡°Thank you, Father-In-Law.¡± Aftering out of the study room of the Shangguan Patriarch, Dong Xi asked a servant to ask around and knew where Shangguan Yun¡¯er was. Shangguan Patriarch naturally would not let his daughter paint on the streets. Shangguan Patriarch rented a shop for Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Shangguan Yun¡¯er stayed in the shop every day, watching the peopleing and going as she painted. Her days were veryfortable. When Dong Xi arrived at the shop, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was deep in thought. Shangguan Yun¡¯er had also drawn a lot of people in the past few days, but she always felt that she had reached a bottleneck. The people drawn alwayscked something. Shangguan Yun¡¯er could not figure it out, so she did not start drawing. At this moment, footsteps came from the door. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked up and saw a slender figure with ck hair hanging on her shoulders. The people on the road are like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world. Shangguan Yun¡¯er never dreamed that he would see the interpretation of this poem in a woman. Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately started writing while Xiao Yue immediately ground the ink. Little Yue had just ground a few times when Dong Xi stepped forward and patted her arm. Little Yue raised her head in confusion. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll grind it.¡± Little Yue stood to the side. Dong Xi took it and continued to grind the ink. Dong Xi¡¯s ink grinding seemed to have a strange frequency, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er also painted with this frequency. Little Yue looked at the two of them and her expression softened. Shangguan Yun¡¯er finished drawing and just as she put down the brush in her hand, a handkerchief appeared in front of her. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned for a moment. Dong Xi had already picked up Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s ink-stained hand and wiped it seriously with a handkerchief. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned. Dong Xi said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a few days. Madam is even more powerful than before.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face was slightly red as she said, ¡°Really¡­ Husband is even more powerful.¡± ¡°Madam, you¡¯re really smart. I didn¡¯t help you much,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for my husband, I¡¯m afraid I would have died long ago.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er shook her head. Chapter 443 - 443 Apologize 443 Apologize Speaking of this, the atmosphere became heavy. Dong Xi¡¯s voice broke the silence. ¡°There is always a way out. I have been a little busy these few days and have neglected Madam. Today, I am here to apologize to you, Madam.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er frowned, somewhat confused. Was Dong Xi too immersed in her character, and really thought that she was a man? Shangguan Yun¡¯er also hoped that Dong Xi was a man. If Dong Xi was really a man, how good would it be? Dong Xi sensed Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s uneasiness. She withdrew her hand and looked at the painting. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, drawing a person is not only about the posture of the person, but more importantly¡­¡± As she spoke, Dong Xi raised her hand and pointed at the painting. Dong Xi continued,¡±It¡¯s this pair of eyes.¡± After Dong Xi left, Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not continue painting. She sat on the chair and pondered over Dong Xi¡¯s words. The eyes of everyone she had seen during these days shed through her mind. There were smart ones, tired ones, kind ones, fierce ones, numb ones¡­ When the sky was dark and the temperature was getting colder, Little Yue propped up a formation and said, ¡°Miss, we should go back. It¡¯s very cold at night. Even if there¡¯s a formation here, your body won¡¯t be able to withstand it.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately came back to her senses. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back now.¡± The Void Sea was still very lively at night. There was no rule in the cultivation world that the sun would set. Cultivators could go into seclusion for more than ten years and stay outside for half a month without feeling tired. Although the weather was getting colder at night, everyone¡¯s clothes were much thicker. When they were about to approach the Shangguan Residence, a shiny object fell on Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s body. The moment Shangguan Yun¡¯er raised her hand to touch it, the snowkes melted. A voice came from not far away. ¡°It¡¯s snowing! It¡¯s actually snowing! I didn¡¯t expect to see snow in the Void Sea.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked over and found that it was two female cultivators talking. Their eyes were shining and they were very beautiful. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was deep in thought, but she quickly put away her thoughts and walked home. That night, Shangguan Yun¡¯er tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Shangguan Yun¡¯er sighed lightly, put on her shoes, walked to the window, and opened it. It was already a vast expanse of whiteness outside. A gust of cold wind blew, but it was blocked by the Daoist robe. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was also very happy. She had lived for so many years, but she had never seen such a scene. Today, the Void Sea seemed to have changed. He recalled Dong Xi¡¯s words, the eyes of the two female cultivators, and Dong Xi¡¯s expression at that time. Shangguan Yun¡¯er closed her eyes. For some reason, all kinds of eyes appeared in her mind. Finally, they fused into a pair of narrow and long eyes that were very firm. Shangguan Yun¡¯er let out a breath and sat in front of the table to draw a picture. The person in the painting stood on the crystal paper. There were countless wind des behind him, and his hair danced in the wind. There was no unting of skills, nor was there any deliberate sculpting. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was just drawing the picture in her heart. After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Yun¡¯er picked up her brush again and drew the eyes of the person in the painting. ¡­ The meditating Shangguan Patriarch suddenly opened his eyes and his body slowly dissipated. Soon after, Shangguan Patriarch appeared outside Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s room and said, ¡°Virtuous Son-In-Law, Yun¡¯er, are you two asleep?¡± Hearing the noise outside, Shangguan Yun¡¯er hurriedly went to open the door. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Father.¡± Shangguan Patriarch sized up Shangguan Yun¡¯er. He widened his eyes and said, ¡°Yun¡¯er, you¡¯re¡­ Stepping into the Dao?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned when she heard what her father said. Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not feel anything. She even thought that today would be the same as every other day, except for the snow. Shangguan Patriarch took out the Spirit Testing Stone and said excitedly, ¡°Yun¡¯er, hurry up and give it a try.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded and put his hand on it. The Spirit Testing Stone gave off a faint light. Shangguan Patriarch smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s true, it¡¯s true! Yun¡¯er, you¡¯ve stepped into the Dao!¡± People who had already drawn into the Dao cultivated differently from other cultivators. If they wanted to cultivate, they could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Instead, they relied on painting to cultivate. Whether it was receiving sincere praise from others or gaining enlightenment from the painting, these were all helpful to those who had already stepped into the Dao. This was almost the same as the wish power of Buddhist cultivators, where faith transformed into spiritual power. Just as the father and daughter were happy, Shangguan Patriarch looked around the room and said, ¡°Yun¡¯er, why don¡¯t I see my Son-In-Law here? Where did he go?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er was stunned. She did noto know that Dong Li had never spent the night with Shangguan Yun¡¯er. It was just that her father had never asked about it in the past, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er had never told him about it. Chapter 444 Give Birth to a Baby? Chapter 444 Give Birth to a Baby? Shangguan Yun''er did not know how to exin this to her father. 1 Before Shangguan Yun''er could speak, Shangguan Patriarch said angrily, "This kid even promised me to have a baby with you as soon as possible. If he doesn''te back now, how can he have a baby?" Shangguan Yun''er was speechless. Hearing this, Shangguan Yun''er did not know how to exin. Shangguan Yun''er thought for a long time and said, "Father¡­ Husband has been busy these days." When Shangguan Patriarch heard this, he looked at Shangguan Yun''er. Shangguan Patriarch''s eyes were filled with aplicated expression. Shangguan Patriarch sat on the chair and said, "My silly girl, even if you''re busy, can you be so busy that you don''t have time to give birth?" Shangguan Yun''er was even more speechless. She knew that her father was right, but¡­ Husband was also a girl, how could he have children? Moreover, her husband had done Shangguan Yun''er a favor. Shangguan Yun''er also knew that her husband needed the identity of the Son-In-Law of the Shangguan family at this time. She could not expose it now and had to help hide it. Shangguan Yun''er was still thinking about how to exin on Dong Xi''s behalf when Shangguan Patriarch waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier for the two of them. No one knew which ear was eavesdropping. Shangguan Patriarch said, "Yun''er, I''m afraid this Son-In-Law''s identity is not simple. Little Ya said that he is not a match for this Son-In-Law. No matter what, I, your father, am at the Soul Formation stage, but I still can''t see through his cultivation. This means that this child has at least a treasure above the supreme-grade artifact¡­That crane is his Senior Brother. If his Senior Brother has such a cultivation level, think about it carefully. How powerful must his sect be?" Shangguan Yun''er did not say anything. Shangguan Patriarch looked at Shangguan Yun''er and continued, "Such a person will definitely have a bright future. Daughter, although you are naturally beautiful, you have just entered the Dao. Women in the cultivation world do notck look. Everyone has almost only had a casual rtionship. I am afraid that he is also ying with you¡­As long as you have his child, he will treat you better in the future. Father is also doing this for you. Entering the Dao is only the beginning. Father can''t protect you forever." Shangguan Yun''er looked at her father and knew that her father was right. However ¡­Shangguan Yun''er really could not give birth. Seeing that her father was about to continue, Shangguan Yun''er immediately said, "Father." Shangguan Patriarch looked at Shangguan Yun''er. Shangguan Yun''er said, "Father, I will remember what you said. If I return today, I will definitely¡­" Shangguan Yun''er''s face turned red as she said, "I''ll definitely tell him." When Shangguan Patriarch heard this, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, hurry up. Cultivators are not easy to conceive. Don''t wait for him to leave. None of you will have a baby." "Yes, your daughter understands," said Shangguan Yun''er. ¡­ Shangguan Yun''er''s blushing face only receded a little after Shangguan Patriarch left. Shangguan Yun''er was very helpless. She hoped that her husband would finish his business as soon as possible. Otherwise, Shangguan Yun''er would not be able to handle it for long. Dong Xi didn''t know Shangguan Yun''er''s distress. She did not go back to sleep every night because she was busy with important matters. The moon in the Void Sea seemed to be bigger than the moon in the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi sat on the reef, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Now, Dong Xi''s absorption speed was even faster, and for some reason, the consumption was even greater. Originally, only a trace of spiritual energy would dissipate after arge cirction. Now, it seemed that one-fifth of it had disappeared. Dong Xi rubbed her face. This tool should have been used to temper her body, but for some reason, her body did not improve at all. Dong Xi used the jade slip to ask around anonymously in the square, but no one knew why. Dong Xi scratched her head in distress. Her hair was so long that it could stand up, but it was still much shorter than before. Dong Xi felt that this length was just enough. It could not be that her body was really leaking spiritual energy, right? One-fifth of the spiritual energy. Just thinking about it made her heart ache. However, this was not important. Dong Xi was afraid that in the future, when she cultivated, more and more spiritual energy would leak out. If that happened, there would be no hope for her ascension. At that time, even an entire spirit vein would not be able to fill this huge hole. Just as Dong Xi was feeling vexed, a figure appeared beside her. Dong Xi raised her head and looked over. It was still that face that was filled with the wrath of both man and god. However, Dong Xi had seen too much and was somewhat immune to it. "You came out to take a bath?" Dong Xi asked. Su Cheng was speechless. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi helplessly. This little girl''s attitude was bing more and more casual. "This is seawater," said Su Cheng. Dong Xi immediately reacted and said, "Oh, I see. Freshwater snakes will have hemorrhoids when they enter the sea!" Chapter 445 Your Whole Family Has Hemorhoids Chapter 445 Your Whole Family Has Hemorhoids When Su Cheng heard Dong Xi''s words, his face instantly darkened. Hemorhoids? Your whole family has hemorrhoids! 1 Dong Xi immediately felt the pressureing towards her. Her heart thumped, and sweat burst out on her forehead. Dong Xi''s eyes moved, and her brain started to think quickly. Yes, it was not hemorrhoids. The salt concentration in freshwater snakes was lower than that of seawater. If they could not replenish their water in the sea, they would die of water shortage. Of course, Big Snake was not dead yet, but his skin would not bind him. "I was wrong," said Dong Xi immediately. When it was time to admit defeat, one had to admit defeat. Only in this way could one survive in the cultivation world for a long time. Dong Xi knew this very well. Seeing that Dong Xi had admitted her mistake, the giant snake withdrew his pressure. Dong Xi said fawningly, "Big Snake, are you a sea snake?" Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi and said, "If you have time to care about me, you should think about the reason why you lost your spiritual energy." Dong Xi immediately stopped smiling and said, "Big Snake, do you know the reason?" Although this was a question, Dong Xi was certain that the snake should know something. Su Cheng returned to his original form and sat on arge reef at the side, bathing in the moonlight with Dong Xi. The snowkes that filled the sky seemed to have eyes. When they were about to fall on the snake, they automatically avoided him. "Find a Spirit Testing Stone and check the attributes of your spirit root," said Su Cheng. Dong Xi''s eyes widened. She thought about how her cultivation speed was getting faster and faster. Moreover, the attributes of his spirit roots werepletely different the previous three times. At first, Dong Xi thought that it was an error, but after hearing the snake''s words, it should be because the attributes of the spirit root had increased? Could it be that Dong Xi''s spiritual root was the legendary growth-type? Wasn''t that too awesome? Dong Xi reacted and jumped off the reef. Just as she was about to go back, she saw the figure of the snake. At this moment, Dong Xi could not care less about being afraid of Su Cheng. She directly picked up the little ck snake and threw it into the Demon Beast Bag. Just as she threw it in, the Demon Beast Bag exploded. Songsong hugged Da Niu with a dumbfounded expression. Her fluffy tail was like an umbre, firmly protecting Da Niu. The moment it was about to fall, Dong Xi hurriedly caught Songsong. Just as he was about to catch the snake again, Su Cheng transformed into his half-human form and appeared in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi''s handnded on the spot where Su Cheng''s tail and lower abdomen were connected. She felt a cold sensation and quickly withdrew her hand. Dong Xi lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Cheng. She exined forcefully, "I n to go back and look for the Spirit Testing Stone. I''m afraid that you won''t be safe. If you fall asleep, once the tide rises..." As she spoke, Dong Xi could not continue. This excuse was toome. The giant snake could stand in the air, so what if the tide was rising? But miraculously, Su Cheng did not seem to be that angry after hearing Dong Xi''s words. However, Su Cheng''s expression was still very bad. Su Cheng said, "You dare to put me in this lowest-grade Demon Beast Bag?" Dong Xi was in the wrong. She took out a Demon Beast Bag and said, "Why don''t you stuff me in too?" Su Cheng nced at Dong Xi and said, "Do you think I don''t dare?" Dong Xi still greeted him with a smile. Didn''t they say that one should not hit a smiling person? Why did not it work when it came to the snake? "Then what should I do so that you won''t be angry?" Dong Xi sighed. "The Cooling Pill," said Su Cheng indifferently. When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that the snake was going to make things difficult for her. Wasn''t it just a Cooling Pill? Wasn''t that simple? Dong Xi could be brave because she had the backing of the Rainbow Store. She said in a rxed manner, "Alright, no problem." Su Cheng continued, "It must be refined by you. It must be a top-grade pill with nine pill veins. 108 batches. If you miss even one batch, I will never forgive you!" Dong Xi, "..." Dong Xi''s mouth was faster than her brain. She said, "Otherwise, you won''t forgive me?" Su Cheng''s face immediately darkened, and he threw a nce at Dong Xi. Dong Xi immediately changed her words and said, "I''ll refine them! It''s just a mere 108 cauldrons. Alchemists are born to refine pills!" Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi was still tactful. Su Cheng said, "That''s for the best." The sky was already slightly bright. The moon had yet to set, but the sun had already appeared, forming a scene of the sun and moon shining together. The temperature of the Void Sea also slowly rose. The snow that had fallen the entire night was also slowly dissipating. Everything that happenedst night was like a dream. When the sky brightened, everyone was pulled back to reality. Dong Xi came to the Rainbow Store and found Xiao Han. Dong Xi said, "Xiao Han, give me a Spirit Testing Stone. I want to try it!" Chapter 446 - 446 Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures 446 Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures When Xiao Han heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, although she was very confused, she still obediently went to take the Spirit Testing Stone and personally delivered it to Dong Xi¡¯s room. ¡°Boss, why do you want to test the spirit stones?¡± asked Xiao Han. Everyone knew that if there were no fortuitous encounters, it was impossible for the spirit root value to change. It was enough to be tested once in a lifetime. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just testing it myself for fun,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Xiao Han now had some understanding of Dong Xi. Hearing Dong Xi¡¯s words, she seemed to have understood something. Xiao Han widened her eyes and said, ¡°Boss, did you get some kind of treasure?¡± ¡°Pretty much. I have to try,¡± Dong Xi said vaguely. Xiao Han did not continue to say anything. Instead, she looked at the stone in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Dong Xi was also a little nervous at this moment. She swallowed her saliva and ced her hand on the Spirit Testing Stone. Dong Xi did not dare to watch the next scene and simply closed her eyes. Dong Xi felt the energy fluctuation from the Spirit Testing Stone and eximed. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± Xiao Han said. ¡°Forget about the three spirit root, each attribute is above 70!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately opened her eyes and looked at the Spirit Testing Stone. ¡°95 fire spirit roots, 77 earth spirit roots, and eighty-five Wood Spiritual Roots,¡± muttered Dong Xi. This data made Dong Xi suck in a breath of cold air. This was a scene that Dong Xi had never dreamed of. He didn¡¯t expect that the attributes of spirit roots could really grow! Dong Xi quietly summoned the snake in his sea of consciousness. Dong Xi said, ¡°Big Snake, are you awake? What happened to me? How did my spirit root value increase?¡± After waiting for a moment, there was no reply from the snake. Dong Xi continued, ¡°Big Snake, could it be that there was a problem with the medicinal bath that Shangguan Yun¡¯er took? We soaked together, and you absorbed a lot. Why don¡¯t you take a test and see if your spirit root value has increased?¡± After pausing for a moment, Dong Xi continued, ¡°This is too awesome. I have to go back and ask my Father-In-Law if this medicinal bath is still avable. If I continue to soak in it a few more times, wouldn¡¯t my three-spirit root rise to the Heavenly Spirit Root?¡± When Dong Xi thought about how she was able to turn the tables on a peerless genius from an outer sect disciple, she began to wonder if this body was the miserable supporting actress in the original book. ¡­ Just as Dong Xi was letting her imagination run wild, the snake finally woke up. Su Cheng said, ¡°No, the rise of your spirit root has nothing to do with the medicinal bath. It¡¯s a problem with your constitution. Cultivate harder in the future.¡± After the snake said that, he suddenly remembered that Dong Xi would cultivate every night whenever there was a moon. It seemed that she did not know how to ck off. If she could increase her spirit root value, Dong Xi felt that he could still ept the disappearance of the spiritual Qi. If it was not for the Rainbow Store, Dong Xi would have burst outughing. Xiao Han did not know what Dong Xi was thinking at this moment. In Xiao Han¡¯s eyes, Dong Xi seemed to be deep in thought. ¡°Boss, did your spirit root value increase?¡± Xiao Han asked carefully. Dong Xi came back to her senses and said, ¡°It has increased.¡± ¡°How much?¡± Xiao Han asked happily. Dong Xi did not dare to say too much. No matter how powerful the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were, they could not possibly increase the attributes of the spirit roots by too much. ¡°It only increased by six or seven points,¡± said Dong Xi. Xiao Han did not suspect anything. She said, ¡°It¡¯s indeed a Heavenly Treasure! Boss, rest first. This subordinate will make you a pot of tea so that you can stabilize your aura.¡± After Xiao Han had left, Dong Xi startedughing wantonly. Seeing Dong Xi so happy, Su Cheng said, ¡°Is that all you¡¯ve got?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Are you jealous that my spirit root value can increase?¡± When Su Cheng heard this, he immediatelyughed. Su Cheng said, ¡°I¡¯m jealous of you?¡± This girl really knew nothing about Su Cheng. She was really short-sighted. However, Su Cheng¡¯s words, in Dong Xi¡¯s eyes, were like a dead duck refusing to admit its mistake. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°So be it. I can¡¯tugh at you. Big Snake, you should take it easy. My talent is rare in this world. You don¡¯t have topare yourself with me¡­¡± Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi¡¯s smug expression and smiled contemptuously. Su Cheng did not tell Dong Xi the truth. Let Dong Xi be happy for a few days. Su City fell silent once again. Dong Xi was happy for a moment, but there was no one to share it with, so she simply returned to the Shangguan Residence. As soon as Dong Xi entered the Shangguan Residence, she immediately noticed that the Shangguan Residence was different from usual. Everyone had a look of joy on their faces. It was the kind of genuine happiness. Dong Xi was very curious. What kind of joyous asion was this? Chapter 447 - 447 Stepping Into the Dao 447 Stepping Into the Dao Dong Xi hurriedly grabbed a maid and said, ¡°Is there something good in the mansion today?¡± The maid recognized Dong Xi. She immediately bowed and said, ¡°Young Master, you just came back. I think you don¡¯t know that Miss has already entered the Dao.¡± Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, ¡°So fast? I have to hurry and congratte Madam.¡± No wonder everyone was so happy today. Shangguan Yun¡¯er would not die so quickly after stepping into the Dao, and these people¡¯s lives would be guaranteed. Dong Xi had just entered Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s room when she found Shangguan Patriarch there. ¡°Madam, you¡¯ve already stepped into the Dao?¡± Dong Xi asked with a smile. Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded, not daring to look at Dong Xi. Dong Xi flicked her wrist and handed the sunflower that she had prepared earlier to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. ¡°A fresh flower matched with a beauty, Madam is really amazing!¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er took the flowers and said, ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Husband.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Madam¡¯s talent that¡¯s good. All I did was say a few words,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Shangguan Patriarch snorted coldly and said, ¡°Dong Li, I heard from the servant girl that you¡¯re not in your room every night? I kindly entrusted my daughter to you, and you treat her like this?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± He still needed a proper reason to quibble. Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Father, don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s my fault because I didn¡¯t¡­ let hime in.¡± Shangguan Patriarch looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er and said gently, ¡°Yun¡¯er, what do you think? If you didn¡¯t agree, I would have changed your husband. But you clearly agreed, so why didn¡¯t you let him in?¡± At this point, Shangguan Patriarch frowned and continued, ¡°Yun¡¯er, tell Father the truth. Are you lying for him?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er shook her head. Dong Xi stood up and said, ¡°Father-In-Law, if you say this, it will really be unfair to me and Yun¡¯er. Some time ago, Yun¡¯er¡¯s body was weak and I was really worried. I can only search everywhere to see if there is a way to cure Yun¡¯er.¡± When Dong Xi said this, Shangguan Patriarch also realized that it was all because of Dong Xi that Shangguan Yun¡¯er was able to survive this tribtion. It was all thanks to Dong Xi that her daughter was able to enter the Dao and cultivate. Thinking of this, Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi with a much gentler expression. ¡°Forget it,¡± Shangguan Patriarch said. ¡°Everything is fine now. You guys should hurry up and get a child.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. He did not expect that Dong Xi would be facing the pain of being born at such a young age in the cultivation world. Dong Xi casually agreed, and the two of them started to talk about the invitation quota. ¡°When I get the quota, you must take good care of Yun¡¯er when you reach the Secret Realm,¡± said the Shangguan Patriarch. Dong Xi was stunned. He had never thought that Shangguan Patriarch would dare to make such a crazy decision. Dong Xi said, ¡°Father-In-Law, Yun¡¯er¡¯s health isn¡¯t good. She has just stepped into the Dao. She¡¯s not even at the first level of the Qi Refinement stage yet. Isn¡¯t it too dangerous to follow her to the Secret Realm?¡± Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi with admiration and a smile in his eyes. He said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. You¡¯re there to protect her, aren¡¯t you? As long as you carefully protect Yun¡¯er, nothing will happen to her.¡± Shangguan Patriarch naturally had his own thoughts as well. The Secret Realm only opened once every 200 years. If he waited for the next time, he did not know what cultivation level Yun¡¯er would reach. It was better to take a gamble now. Yun¡¯er still had all kinds of magic tools that Shangguan Patriarch had prepared. If she could gain something in the Secret Realm, her future cultivation would be much easier. When Dong Xi heard Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s words, she was instantly stunned. Did Shangguan Patriarch trust Dong Xi too much? Dong Xi could not even guarantee that she would be able to do it in the Secret Realm, yet she still had to protect a cultivator who was no different from a mortal? ¡°Father-In-Law, I¡¯m not afraid of the unexpected. I¡¯m just afraid¡­ What if¡­¡± Dong Xi said. Dong Xi wanted to continue the discussion, but before he could finish, Shangguan Patriarch interrupted him. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°There¡¯s no what if! You and Yun¡¯er muste back in one piece.¡± Dong Xi did not say anything else, but she had an idea in her heart. The two spots would definitely cost a lot of spirit stones. At that time, Dong Xi would just help Shangguan Yun¡¯er hire a few more bodyguards. Shangguan Yun¡¯er saw Dong Xi¡¯s frown and also felt that it was inappropriate to follow her into the Secret Realm. For so many years, Shangguan Yun¡¯er had been his father¡¯s burden. Now, he had to drag someone down? ¡°Father¡­¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. Before Shangguan Yun¡¯er could say anything, Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°Don¡¯t say anything.¡± Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er shut up obediently, Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi again. Shangguan Patriarch said, ¡°Virtuous Son-In-Law, do you agree to what I said today?¡± Chapter 448 - 448 Take on the Duty 448 Take on the Duty Dong Xi had an idea and naturally agreed without hesitation. ¡°I agree. Father-In-Law, don¡¯t worry. I will ensure Yun¡¯er¡¯s safe return,¡± said Dong Xi. Seeing Dong Xi agree, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was instantly stunned. She looked at Dong Xi with an indescribable expression. Shangguan Patriarchughed and said, ¡°Very good. As expected of the husband chosen by the heavens for my daughter. He¡¯s responsible!¡± Shangguan Patriarch stood up and walked towards Dong Xi. After walking up to Dong Xi, Shangguan Patriarch waved his hand and a key appeared. ¡°This key can open half of the doors of the Shangguan Residence,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°The other half depends on your performance.¡± When Dong Xi saw the key, she suddenly remembered the wish she had made before. If she got half of the family business, then then she will destroy all of Shangguan Residence¡­ Isn¡¯t it not too far away? Seeing that Dong Xi did not take it, Shangguan Patriarch simply ced the key in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Then, he patted Dong Xi¡¯s arm and left with a smile. Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun¡¯er were the only ones left in the room. Dong Xi felt a little embarrassed by Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s coquettish gaze. Dong Xi smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°Madam, it¡¯s better for you to keep this.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er didn¡¯t take it. Dong Xi continued, ¡°The man is outside, the woman is inside.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s tone became heavier as she repeated, ¡°The woman is inside?¡± Dong Xi was silent for a long time. In the end, she coughed a few times and put away the key. Dong Xi said, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll keep the key first. If Madam needs it, ask me for it.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded and said nothing. Dong Xi, on the other hand, came forward curiously and said, ¡°Furen, have you really stepped into the Dao?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but my father said so.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er shook her head. Dong Xi immediately took Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s pulse, and spiritual energy entered Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s body. The green wood spiritual energy went all the way to her Dantian and found that there was no change at all. There was not a trace of spiritual energy in her Dantian either. Dong Xi frowned and used her spiritual energy to walk around Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s body. In the end, she found a bit of fog in Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s heart. Misty clouds surrounded Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s wood spirit crystal. Within the spiritual energy, it seemed like an illusory heart was taking shape. Dong Xi withdrew his hand and raised his head to look into Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Madam, how about drawing one?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded. Dong Xi walked to the table sensibly. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, let me grind the ink for you.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er raised her brush and started painting. Now, her painting was smoother than before. Dong Xi saw that Shangguan Yun¡¯er had only used a few strokes and Dong Xi¡¯s head had already appeared on the paper. Dong Xi could not help but praise in her heart. Regardless of whether it was theter generations or the cultivation world, those who had specialties were all awesome. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s drawing of herself. Initially, she did not feel anything, until¡­ Shangguan Yun¡¯er drew her eyes. Dong Xi looked at herself in the painting and suddenly had a subtle feeling. Dong Xi secretly transmitted a trace of spiritual energy. The eyes of the person in the painting suddenly moved. Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who was standing in front of the painting, was startled. She hurriedly took a step back and crashed into Dong Xi¡¯s arms. Dong Xi was a little shorter than Shangguan Yun¡¯er. She stuck her head out from the side and said, ¡°Madam, don¡¯t panic. I just did a magic trick.¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s expression, Shangguan Yun¡¯er guessed that the matter just now should have been done by Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Dong Xi injected her spiritual energy into the painting once again. The hands in the painting were put away, and the key in her hand was also put into her pocket. She even took a few steps forward and sat on the chair, crossing her legs. After Shangguan Yun¡¯er saw it, she said in surprise, ¡°This is¡­ The ability of an art cultivator?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not all,¡± Dong Xi shook her head. ¡°What else is there?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked curiously. Dong Xi asked Shangguan Yun¡¯er to take out the painting that she had bought from the art gallery. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, these two paintings were painted by a painter. Previously, you were a mortal and couldn¡¯t see anything. Now that you¡¯ve stepped into the Dao, look at these two paintings again. Is there any difference?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at the paintings and suddenly understood. No wonder Dong Xi was willing to spend so many spirit stones to buy these two paintings. It turned out that these were all drawn by art cultivators. From the very beginning, Dong Xi had wanted Shangguan Yun¡¯er toprehend something from the two paintings. Shangguan Yun¡¯er opened the two paintings one by one. The first one was the painting of a white bird. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s current cultivation was still shallow, so she could not see anything at first nce. However, Dong Xi had said that there was something special about this painting. Shangguan Yun¡¯er calmed down and carefully observed every stroke on the painting, wanting to see something. Chapter 449 - 449 Enchanted 449 Enchanted After watching for a long time, Shangguan Yun¡¯er suddenly felt that something was different. The bird in the painting seemed to havee alive. It was clearly not moving, but Shangguan Yun¡¯er could feel an inexplicable trace of vitality. Soon after, she smelled the fragrance of flowers and heard the chirping of birds. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was momentarily entranced. However, in the next moment, someone patted Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s shoulder gently. Shangguan Yun¡¯er finally regained her senses. She looked at the youth in front of her, still wearing that signature smile. When she looked at the painting again, there were no birds or flowers. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes were filled with astonishment. Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, do you understand the mystery of this painting?¡± ¡°Is this an illusion?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded. Shangguan Yun¡¯er had never left the house before, nor had she encountered any danger. She had only heard about the illusory realm from the maids and others in the residence. Today was the first time she had experienced it personally. ¡°That¡¯s right. A painter is not the same as a powerful art cultivator. A brilliant painter can not only confuse people with his paintings, but also create a world with them,¡± Dong Xi nodded and said. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s mouth was wide open in shock. She had never mentioned this before. ¡°Is painting really that powerful?¡± asked Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Seeing the hope hidden in Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s eyes, Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Of course it is. I¡¯ve never lied to my wife,¡± said Dong Xi. When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, she seemed to have made a decision. Raising her head to look at Dong Xi, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said firmly, ¡°I will definitely paint more in the future.¡± ¡°Alright, wait for us toe back from the Secret Realm,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. When Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard this, she frowned and looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°Madam, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Dong Xi asked with concern. ¡°If you have anything to say, just say it.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Are you leaving aftering back from the Secret Realm?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er knew that Dong Xi was not a member of the Void Sea and would leave sooner orter. Dong Xi did not lie to Shangguan Yun¡¯er, and said frankly that if she found the Deep Sea Extreme Ice, she would leave. ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ll leave once I find the item I want,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Then what do you want?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. ¡°What was it? Perhaps my father can help you.¡± ¡°The item is in the Secret Realm.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. Seeing Shangguan Yun¡¯er ming herself, Dong Xi could not help butugh. Holding Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand, Dong Xi said, ¡°Madam, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already promised Father-In-Law that I¡¯ll definitely have a way to protect you.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s tone was calm, as if she was going to say itter. However, after Shangguan Yun¡¯er heard it, her agitated mood calmed down. Their eyes met. Shangguan Yun¡¯er saw Dong Xi¡¯s eyes shining like the stars in the sky. What kind of husband would such a woman find in the future? A person like Dong Xi should be standing at the top of the cultivation world, receiving the admiration of everyone. Who knew who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Dong Xi at that time? Of course, this had nothing to do with Shangguan Yun¡¯er. This morning, Dong Xi had just woken up from his meditative state when she sensed the spiritual energy fluctuation on themunication jade slip. Dong Xi took out the jade slip and looked at it. It was a message from Xiao Han. [Boss, there¡¯s a big order. Someone bought two spots and offered 120,000 top-grade spirit stones!] When Dong Xi saw this message, she instantly woke up. What the hell! 120,000? And top-grade spirit stones? The people of the Void Sea were indeed very rich. ¡°Do you know who the buyer is? Do you need protection?¡± Dong Xi asked immediately. ¡°She¡¯s from the Shangguan family. She doesn¡¯t need protection,¡± Xiao Han replied immediately. Dong Xi was speechless. Very good, the fertile water should not flow into others¡¯ fields. ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to sell the quota?¡± Dong Xi asked through voice chat. ¡°Yes,¡± Xiao Han replied immediately. ¡°There are 11 people so far.¡± Dong Xi immediately narrowed her eyes and started to think. Eleven people meant 11 invitation stones. Each person had five spots, which meant 66 spots. He did not know how many invitation stones were given to the mythical realm this time. One more person entering meant one morepetitor. No, I still have to ask Father-In-Law. At this moment, Xiao Han sent a voice message saying, ¡°Boss, these people need our protection, but this shop has just opened¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Dong Xi said through voice chat. ¡°Is it because you don¡¯t have enough manpower?¡± Chapter 450 - 450 Strong Man 450 Strong Man Dong Xi did not wait for Xiao Han¡¯s reply and quickly went to the Rainbow Store. She found Xiao Han and asked again. Xiao Han frowned and nodded. Dong Xi thought for a moment and thought of something. She said confidently, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I have an idea.¡± What was there to be afraid of if they did not have enough manpower? There was still Senior Brother Rui Ming, and wasn¡¯t Father-In-Law an able-bodied man? Xiao Han trusted Dong Xi very much. Seeing Dong Xi take over this matter, Xiao Han immediately heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Xiao Han, help me spread the news. Tell them that you¡¯re hiring fighters who can enter the Secret Realm. Hire them at a high price,¡± said Dong Xi. When Xiao Han heard this, she was very surprised. Xiao Han said, ¡°Boss, are you looking for guards?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m asking for someone else,¡± Dong Xi shook her head. ¡°What price do you want for the guards?¡± asked Xiao Han. ¡°About 1,000 top-grade spirit stones,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°How many do you need?¡± Xiao Han asked after noting down the price. ¡°What cultivation level do you need?¡± ¡°Of course, the more the merrier,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. ¡°As long as you have the qualifications to enter the Secret Realm, it doesn¡¯t matter what cultivation level you have.¡± This kind of employment could be considered a form of roping in. As long as enough people were roped in, thepetition would be even stronger. Xiao Han did not understand. She frowned and said, ¡°Boss, there¡¯s no restriction on cultivation level. What if a Qi Refinement stage cultivator signs up? This subordinate has also heard about that Secret Realm. If they find guards at the Qi Refinement stage, it¡¯s not certain who will be guarding who.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said with an unfathomable expression, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. There¡¯s strength in numbers.¡± Xiao Han did not understand Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts, but she trusted Dong Xi very much. Whatever Dong Xi said, Xiao Han would believe it. Xiao Han said, ¡°This subordinate will do it immediately.¡± After Dong Xi left the Rainbow Store, she went to the inn and told Rui Ming about these things. Rui Ming did not understand why Dong Xi did this. Rui Ming said, ¡°Junior Sister, if youck manpower, I can help you.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, your body hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet.¡± Dong Xi shook his head and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to personally take care of such a small matter. Just ask Shangguan Patriarch to go.¡± After saying that, Dong Xi smiled and continued to persuade him, ¡°Senior Brother, you have to take down the old man¡¯s prestige and let him know that he has to pay back sooner orter.¡± Rui Ming thought for a moment, but did not refuse. He casually took out a voice transmission talisman and sent it to Shangguan Patriarch. Dong Xi immediately left. If he was caught red-handed by Shangguan Patriarch, how could he continue to y tricks in the future? Shangguan Patriarch came to Rui Ming¡¯s ce to receive the order and then immediately left. Directly giving him a quick death was far less pleasurable than this. Shangguan Patriarch returned to the Shangguan Residence and started to smash the room. When Dong Xi returned, Shangguan Patriarch was not angry at all. Dong Xi clicked her tongue in her heart. This Father-In-Law¡¯s ability to swallow his anger was not bad! ¡°Son-In-Law greets Father-In-Law,¡± said Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch nodded and said, ¡°Yes, why are you here?¡± Dong Xi smiled and did not hesitate. Shangguan Patriarch persuaded, ¡°Father-In-Law, I wonder if you have any news about the Secret Realm?¡± Dong Xi raised his head and saw Shangguan Patriarch¡¯s probing gaze. Dong Xi smiled and continued, ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it over and over again. I think it¡¯s better to find out. It¡¯ll be better if I have a map of the Secret Realm. I can also protect Yun¡¯er better. Also, how many invitation stones are there in the Secret Realm? How many people have entered the Secret Realm this time?¡± When Shangguan Patriarch heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, his expression changed. It seemed that this Son-In-Law was indeed worried about his daughter. In this way, Shangguan Patriarch told him everything that had happened in the past. ¡°There are a total of 100 invitation stones in the Secret Realm,¡± said Shangguan Patriarch. ¡°If we convert them, there will be 600 people entering the Secret Realm every time. We can¡¯t rule out the possibility that some people will go to those who have invitation stones in advance to snatch them away in order to reduce thepetitiveness after entering.¡± When Dong Xi learned that the Secret Realm was on an invitation basis, she knew that such a thing would happen. Everyone had different thoughts. If Dong Xi could think of forming an alliance with some cultivators, there would naturally be others who would think of getting rid of some people in advance. Shangguan Patriarch told him everything that had happened in the Secret Realm. After a pause, he continued, ¡°Tomorrow, I¡¯ll get someone to send you the map.¡± Dong Xi also understood. She smiled and said, ¡°So, Father-In-Law, you¡¯ve also been to this Secret Realm before. There¡¯s no need for someone to specially make an extra trip. I have nothing to do now. I¡¯ll juste and get it myself tomorrow!¡± Chapter 451 Waiting in the Room Chapter 451 Waiting in the Room When Dong Xi said this, Shangguan Patriarch''s face immediately darkened. "I''ll be out tomorrow and won''t be in the mansion," Shangguan Patriarch said through gritted teeth. "Son-In-Law wille the day after tomorrow," said Dong Xi. "I have something to do outside the day after tomorrow," said Shangguan Patriarch. ¡­ Seeing that Shangguan Patriarch was running out of patience, Dong Xi stopped provoking him and said, "Alright, Son-In-Law will wait in the room." "You go back first." Shangguan Patriarch nodded. When Shangguan Patriarch saw Dong Xi''s smiling face, he felt very annoyed. Sometimes, he felt that this virtuous Son-In-Law was quite sensible, but sometimes, he did not have any judgment at all. It was really strange. Xiao Han contacted Dong Xi five dayster. At this time, there were only two days left before the opening of the Secret Realm. Dong Xi took advantage of these few days to prepare some items that could be used in the Secret Realm. After receiving Xiao Han''s message, Dong Xi was afraid that the Shangguan Patriarch, who was paying close attention to the Rainbow Store, would find out. So, Dong Xi simply asked Xiao Han out for a chat. The two of them sat in the private room of the teahouse and closed the doors and windows. The restriction of the teahouse could iste their voices and prevent outsiders from eavesdropping. The waiter served tea to the two of them and walked out. When Xiao Han saw that there were only two people in the room, she immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to Dong Xi. Xiao Han said, "Boss, look, all the people who can be hired are here. There are 132 people." When Xiao Han said this, her heart ached. If they were to hire all 130 of them, that would be 132,000 spirit stones, and they would be top-quality spirit stones. Although they had earned some spirit stones this time, who would not feel heartache if they spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones like this? What did the boss want? Dong Xi, on the other hand, was much calmer. She was seriously looking at Xiao Han''s jade slip. Xiao Han was very clear about the cultivation level, weapons, and spirit roots of these people. Of course, these people''s cultivation levels were basically a little low. Even if they were willing to be hired, they felt that they would not be able to obtain anything in the Secret Realm. If they were hired, they would still be able to earn top-grade spirit stones. Their calctions were not bad, but Dong Xi was naturally not someone who would be easily taken advantage of. Dong Xi looked at the jade slip and returned it to Xiao Han. Dong Xi said, "Tell them that if they want to be guards, they must listen to orders and not act on their own. Also, everything they obtain in the Secret Realm must be handed over. When theye out, they will be distributed ording to everyone''s contribution." Xiao Han agreed and then sent Dong Xi''s instructions to the people in the Rainbow Store. As expected, with this condition, only 62 people were willing to be hired. "62 it is, it''s enough," Dong Xi immediately said. Xiao Han immediately prepared a contract and went back. Those who were willing to be hired signed the contract. The contract was protected by the Heavenly Dao and no one could vite it. It was also because of this that Dong Xi felt very assured. After solving the problem of the guards, Dong Xi put down the worries in her heart. Shangguan Yun''er would go to the Secret Realm with them. As long as they entered and exited the Secret Realm, Dong Xi''s mission would be consideredplete. Dong Xi bade farewell to Xiao Han in satisfaction. After leaving the teahouse, Dong Xi returned to the Shangguan Residence. Unexpectedly, Little Ya was actually at the door today, as if she was waiting for someone. Dong Xi walked forward and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Little Ya, long time no see." Little Ya looked at Dong Xi coldly. Little Ya said directly, "I saw you go to a teahouse with a female cultivator today. Is that true?" "Yes, so what?" Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and said." Little Ya''s face immediately darkened. Little Ya warned, "You''re now the Young Master of the Shangguan family. No matter what you did in the past, you can''t do it now. You have to take into ount the Shangguan family and the Young Miss''s reputation. If I see it again next time, I''ll report it to Old Master directly." When Dong Xi heard this, she immediatelyughed. Dong Xi circled around Little Ya and looked into her eyes. Dong Xi said lightly, "I didn''t expect Fellow Daoist Little Ya to help me hide it. Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Little Ya." Little Ya looked at Dong Xi''s cynical smile and knew that Dong Xi definitely did not take what she said just now seriously. Little Ya said, "Make a Heart Demon Oath now." Dong Xi immediately became serious. Dong Xi said, "There''s no need for that. Since you want to be a piece of trash who only knows how toin, go tell Father-In-Law then." After Dong Xi finished speaking, she walked around Little Ya and walked inside. The fan in her hand swayed slightly. She really looked like Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng. Little Ya was so angry that she gritted her teeth and snorted coldly. She turned around andined to Shangguan Patriarch. Chapter 452 Explosives Chapter 452 Explosives Naturally, Dong Xi was not afraid of this. After Shangguan Patriarch came, Dong Xi casually said that he would help Yun''er find a guard, and the matter was resolved. When Shangguan Patriarch heard Dong Xi''s words, not only did he not get angry, he even felt that this Son-In-Law was sent by the heavens to help share his worries. Shangguan Patriarch said happily, "I''ve thought about it for a long time. It''s indeed dangerous for the two of you to go to the Secret Realm. Yun''er has the treasures I prepared. I must make sure that you have some treasures with you as well." After saying that, Shangguan Patriarch took out an item and handed it to Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at the ck ball in his hand. She could even feel the violent energy from this item. However, Dong Xi had never seen this item before. "Father-In-Law, what is this?" Dong Xi asked. "It''s just some small things, just like firecrackers. It''s just a little more powerful than that," Shangguan Patriarch smiled and said. When Shangguan Patriarch said that it was a little more powerful, he deliberately emphasized it. Dong Xi immediately understood that the power was probably a little too strong. Dong Xi instantly recalled the explosives thrown out by the leader at Cui Liu''s shop that day. It could not be this thing, right? Dong Xi frowned and pondered. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi subconsciously felt that her Father-In-Law should not be so stingy. He wanted to protect Shangguan Yun''er, but he only gave her such a small item. Was it not reasonable? However, this was still better than nothing. "Thank you, Father-In-Law." Dong Xi bowed and said. ... On the morning of the journey to the Secret Realm, Dong Xi saw Shangguan Yun''er, who had been in seclusion for a long time. Shangguan Yun''er was wearing a Daoist robe. Dong Xi had received so many Daoist robes from the Big Snake previously, so she now had some insight. Dong Xi looked over and knew that Shangguan Yun''er''s Daoist robe not only had astonishing defensive power, it also increased her speed. Shangguan Patriarch was very generous to his daughter. Dong Xi sized up Shangguan Yun''er and discovered that Shangguan Yun''er had already reached the second level of Qi Refinement stage. Dong Xi could not help but click her tongue. One look and it was obvious that Shangguan Patriarch had used medicinal pills to improve it. If it was not for the limited time, Shangguan Patriarch might have wanted to directly raise Shangguan Yun''er''s cultivation to the Now that Shangguan Yun''er had stepped into the Dao, Shangguan Patriarch had many ways to help her raise her cultivation. perfection level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and then let Shangguan Yun''er follow Dong Xi to the Secret Realm. In the past, Shangguan Yun''er was unable to cultivate, so the solutions he had prepared were useless. Now that Shangguan Yun''er had stepped into the Dao, Shangguan Patriarch had many ways to help her raise her cultivation. Shangguan Patriarch pulled Shangguan Yun''er with one hand and Dong Xi with the other. Shangguan Patriarch was a little surprised. Why did this Son-In-Law''s hand look like a woman''s and was much smaller than his daughter''s? Although he was surprised, Shangguan Patriarch did not show it on his face. Shangguan Patriarch ced Shangguan Yun''er''s hand in Dong Xi''s hand and said with a smile, "Virtuous Son-In-Law, I''ll hand Yun''er over to you today. You must take good care of Yun''er when we enter the Secret Realm." Dong Xi did not agree immediately. She was even a little lost in thought. Su Cheng''s voice sounded in his sea of consciousness. He said, "This male cultivator touched your hand." Dong Xi was speechless and said coldly, "Shut your mouth." Shangguan Patriarch naturally could not hear her, but he looked at Dong Xi with some dissatisfaction. Realizing that Dong Xi still had note back to his senses, Shangguan Patriarch said again, "Son-In-Law?" Dong Xi came back to her senses and immediately said, "Father-In-Law, don''t worry. I will definitely protect Yun''er." Shangguan Patriarch nodded and said, "Son-In-Law, what were you thinking just now?" Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she sighed and said, "I''m just worried about the Secret Realm. After all, it''s very unfamiliar and I don''t have much confidence." When Shangguan Patriarch heard this, heforted, "Life and death are determined by fate, and sess or failure is determined by the heavens. The preparations you have made these days have already surpassed many people. When you enter the Secret Realm, don''t be impulsive or advance rashly." "Thank you, Father-In-Law, for your guidance," Dong Xi withdrew her hand and said. As soon as she finished speaking, the crimson sky in the distance seemed to sink slowly. It collided with the blue seawater, emitting bursts of dazzling light. "The Secret Realm is about to open. You guys should hurry up and go." Dong Xi nodded and brought Shangguan Yun''er out of the Shangguan Residence, walking towards the Rainbow Store. Cui Liu and Tie Zhu had been waiting for a long time in the Rainbow Store. When they saw Dong Xi bringing Shangguan Yun''er over, they looked at other ces. Tie Zhu said, "Who are the other two people that''sing with us?" The two people who went with them were people who Dong Xi had selected from countless buyers for a long time. They were people with clean family backgrounds, good abilities, and were of no threat. Even though Dong Xi already knew, she still shook her head and said, "I don''t know. We''ll know when we meet them." Chapter 453 - 453 Team 17 453 Team 17 It did not take long for the two of them to arrive. One could tell at a nce that the two of them were master and servant. The young man was dressed in luxurious clothes, and the other person followed behind him, looking as if he was following the young man¡¯s lead. The young man looked at them arrogantly and said, ¡°You guys are Team 17?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, they¡¯re all in Team 17,¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Who has the invitation stone?¡± the young man asked. Cui Liu nced at the young man and said, ¡°It¡¯s in my hands.¡± Hearing Cui Liu¡¯s voice, the young man lowered his head and looked at Cui Liu. Seeing that Cui Liu was not tall, the young man smiled and said, ¡°So it¡¯s a dwarf? How about this, give me the invitation stone and enter the Secret Realm. I¡¯ll be responsible for your safety.¡± Dong Xi had not expected that the person she had spent so much time choosing would actually be such a profligate young master. Tie Zhu immediately stepped forward and blocked Cui Liu behind him. Tie Zhu said, ¡°I will naturally protect my brothers. I don¡¯t need you.¡± The young man frowned and was about to say something when Dong Xi spoke first, ¡°The invitation stone is chosen by the Secret Realm. If we give it to you and you can¡¯t bring us in, will you bear the losses?¡± The young man said, ¡°You¡­¡± He had only mentioned ¡®you¡¯, but the youth¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Shangguan Yun¡¯er. The youth approached Shangguan Yun¡¯er and said, ¡°Fairy, I¡¯m Long Wei. Meeting you is fate. This time, being able to go to the Secret Realm with you is fate given by the heavens¡­ May I know your name? Can we exchange spirit breath?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Fortunately, Dong Xi was a woman. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t she be cuckolded? Shangguan Yun¡¯er was startled by the youth and immediately hid behind Dong Xi. Dong Xi stretched out her hand to stop Long Wei and took out her long sword. Dong Xi said, ¡°How dare you harass my wife in front of me? Unsheathe your sword!¡± Long Wei looked at Dong Xi, who had just reached his chest, in astonishment. Then, he looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who was even taller than Dong Xi. Long Wei¡¯s expression changed again and again. A momentter, Long Wei said, ¡°Fairy! Why are you so depressed? Am I not much better than this guy?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er turned her head to look elsewhere. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°In my heart, my Husband is the best.¡± Dong Xi immediatelyughed. She used the hilt of her sword to knock on Long Wei¡¯s chest. Dong Xi said, ¡°Did you hear that? Don¡¯t stand around and waste time here!¡± With this interlude, Long Xu also stopped. However, only an hour had passed, and Long Wei was already a little impatient. ¡°F*ck, how long will it take for this Secret Realm to open?¡± Long Wei said. ¡°It had been an hour. It was too boring.¡± Dong Xi nced at Long Wei and said, ¡°Before you came, we waited for you for more than six hours. What can you do if you only wait for a short while?¡± Long Wei tidied his clothes and said arrogantly, ¡°That¡¯s different. It¡¯s your honor to wait for me.¡± Dong Xi chuckled and said, ¡°If you have the time, you should rest well and recover your spiritual energy. Perhaps you can go further in the Secret Realm.¡± Dong Xi was just reminding him out of goodwill. She did not expect Long Wei to say disdainfully, ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. A Spirit Restore Pill can solve these sorts of problems. I¡¯m not someone whocks medicinal pills.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Tsk, tsk, tsk, this person was actually acting tough here? Don¡¯t think that Dong Xi did not know that when Long Wei was showing off just now, he was secretly looking at Madam. Dong Xi said, ¡°Huh¡­ You¡¯re going to eat the pill now? Wait until you enter the Secret Realm, you brat, just wait to cry!¡± Long Wei immediately said, ¡°Who knows who will cry! I think you¡¯re just a gigolo.¡± ¡­ The two were still bickering when Cui Liu suddenly shouted, ¡°Wei,e over. The Secret Realm is about to open.¡± Everyone was stunned at first, then they looked at the glowing stone in Cui Liu¡¯s hand. They immediately gathered around Cui Liu. The light of the invitation stone slowly expanded and finally formed a light shield that enveloped the six of them. The figures of Dong Xi and the others also started to disappear bit by bit. At this moment, the surrounding people also disappeared. Teleportation was really not a good feeling. Dong Xi had already taken many long-distance teleportations, so it was easy for her to ept. Shangguan Yun¡¯er and Long Wei¡¯s expressions were extremely bad. Fortunately, it did not take long. In less than 15 minutes, the light disappeared and everyone had already arrived in the Secret Realm. Long Wei instantly rushed out and began to vomit not far away. Dong Xi started to look at the building in front of her. This was a huge city, not theke that Shangguan Patriarch had mentioned. Dong Xi did not think that Shangguan Patriarch would lie to her. There was only one possibility. Every time she entered the Secret Realm, she would be in a different ce. Theke might be far away from them! Chapter 454 - 454 Illusion 454 Illusion Dong Xi did not know how big the Secret Realm was. Shangguan Patriarch had also mentioned this ce, so he might not have been here before. Dong Xi took out a spirit fruit and gave it to Shangguan Yun¡¯er to eat, to suppress Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s difort. Cui Liu looked at the city in front of him and said, ¡°How do we enter now?¡± Tie Zhu said, ¡°Why are we outside the city? If only we appeared in the city.¡± Cui Liu said, ¡°The city gate is guarded. Do you want to go in other directions to take a look? Perhaps the city gate in other directions is open.¡± Before Dong Xi could say anything, she noticed that her martial arts were a little strange and she could not circte her cultivation techniques. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation since she started cultivating this cultivation technique. Dong Xi looked around and found that they were not the only ones here. There were three other groups not far away. At this moment, the sound of a horn rang out without any warning. Then, the sky lit up, and shouts of killing could be heard from the surroundings. In the distance, there were thousands of soldiers, armed with spears and wearing armor. There was also cavalry charging towards the city. Looking at the city again, it was originally empty, but now it was filled with soldiers, all of them pulling bows and arrows and aiming below. Long Wei could not care less about the difort and vomiting. Long Wei said, ¡°Umm¡­ What¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°It should be an illusion,¡± said Long Wei¡¯s guard, Qing Niao. Upon hearing the words ¡®Illusion¡¯, Tie Zhu and Cui Liu heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°No, it¡¯s not an illusion.¡± Dong Xi shook her head. After being tortured by Songsong so many times, Dong Xi could tell if it was an illusion or not. Even though Dong Xi did not know why the army had suddenly appeared, she knew that if she did not do something, they would be injured by the soldiers. Dong Xi subconsciously raised her hand to create a protective barrier, but she realized that she could not use her spiritual energy at all. Dong Xi was shocked and immediately said, ¡°Not good, we can¡¯t use spiritual power here.¡± When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Then, they began to check themselves. In the end, they realized that Dong Xi was right. Tie Zhu did not mind. As a body cultivator, hisbat strength did not really need spiritual energy. Tie Zhu took out his boxing gloves and put them on. Dong Xi also took out her long sword. Long Wei immediately panicked. Long Wei said, ¡°What should we do? I can¡¯t open my storage ring now.¡± As he spoke, a group of people had already rushed to the front of the crowd. ¡°Shoot!¡± someone shouted. A rain of arrows flew over, but Dong Xi and the others dodged them in a sorry state. Then, they were about to engage in closebat with the soldiers. Dong Xi was fine, but no matter how powerful she was, she could not face so many people, nor could she take care of Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Normally, there would only be one hooligan in a team, but there were two in Dong Xi¡¯s team¡­ Dong Xi faintly felt that if Long Wei died, this checkpoint would be even more difficult. Dong Xi thought for a moment and immediately said, ¡°Run first, run to the back.¡± Although it was harder to run to the back, at least he did not have to face so much firepower. Dong Xi grabbed a soldier¡¯s shield and raised it up. She led the crowd and ran backward, Tie Zhu covering the rear. However, before they could run far, they heard a soldier shout, ¡°There are deserters!¡± Then, a series of shouts and shouts sounded. Dong Xi looked at the soldiers who were not attacking the city but were instead thinking of charging at the crowd. Dong Xi was instantly dumbfounded. However, soon, Dong Xi understood that he could not escape. In a situation where they would definitely die if they fled, these soldiers would treat Dong Xi and the others as deserters. This meant that they were now part of the army. Dong Xi immediately had everyone change directions and run toward the city. ¡°Charge!¡± Dong Xi shouted as he ran. ¡°Deserters will be killed without mercy!¡± As soon as she said this, the soldiers who were rushing over instantly calmed down. Dong Xi raised her head and looked at the army on the city wall. There were actually some familiar faces. Dong Xi immediately knew what was going on. So that was it. It turned out that everyone was facing a faction war this time! The moment everyone entered the Secret Realm, the Secret Realm had already divided everyone into factions. Some people were on the offensive side, while others were on the defensive side. From the looks of it, Dong Xi and the others were the attackers. Since that was the case, Dong Xi and the others had the same goal as the soldiers. They had to attack the city first. However, things were not as easy as Dong Xi thought. The defending side was also very strong, and there were so many cultivators helping out. They could not use their spiritual power at this time, so it was much easier to defend. These cultivators were still very urate. Seeing the soldiers on thedder fall one by one, they did not know when they would be able to get up. Some soldiers in armor followed suit, but they were bombarded with rocks. The two sides immediately fell into a stalemate, which consumed a lot of everyone¡¯s stamina. The sun slowly set, and a horn sounded. In the next second, the sky instantly darkened again! Chapter 455 - 455 Is It Really Not an Illusion? 455 Is It Really Not an Illusion? The battlefield that was originally filled with mes of war instantly quieted down. The soldiers who had been fighting side by side also disappeared in an instant. This was the first time Shangguan Yun¡¯er had seen such a scene. Not just her, but the others were also shocked. ¡°Is it really not an illusion?¡± Long Wei said. ¡°Aren¡¯t these people too fantastical?¡± Dong Xi looked at the wound on Long Wei¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Is your wound fake?¡± Long Wei shut his mouth. The wound was real, and the bleeding was also real. Right now, Long Wei could not open the storage ring at all. If he was really injured, he would really die in the end. Everyone fell silent. Dong Xi only came back to her senses when Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s stomach rumbled. The most important problem now was that they could not open the storage ring. Everyone had no food to eat. What should they do? Dong Xi looked at the crowd and everyone realized this problem. Dong Xi frowned as if she suddenly remembered something. She said, ¡°That¡¯s not right.¡± When they had just entered the Secret Realm, Dong Xi had taken the spirit fruit from her storage ring for Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Why could the rest not open it? Dong Xi tried to circte her spiritual power and found that she could circte it again. Dong Xi took out a Fasting Pill and gave one to Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Then, Dong Xi said, ¡°It seems that we should be able to use our spiritual power at night.¡± Long Wei happily opened his storage ring, took out a new robe, and put it on. Then, he ate the Vitality Reinforcement Pill. Seeing the wound slowly heal, Long Wei also heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°My life is finally saved,¡± said Long Wei. Dong Xi looked at the towering city and suddenly had an idea. Could she change factions at night? Now that everyone had spiritual power, it was not difficult to climb in. However, Dong Xi was also worried that if he did this, it would cause some other changes. Dong Xi pondered for a long time before finally looking at everyone. Dong Xi said, ¡°Have you all rested?¡± Everyone nodded. Qing Niao looked at Dong Xi and did not say anything. ¡°No.¡± Long Wei said. ¡°That¡¯s fine. Wait for me here. I¡¯ll be back soon. Senior Tie Zhu, please take care of my wife.¡± Dong Xi chuckled. Tie Zhu nodded. Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately said, ¡°Husband, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to scout the way,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. After saying that, Dong Xi used her movement technique to leave. However, just as Dong Xi touched the city wall, a sharp sound echoed through the night sky as if a switch had been triggered. ¡°Night raid!¡± someone shouted. The gongs and drums on the city wall immediately sounded, and then the sky brightened. The soldiers of the attacking side appeared again, as if yesterday¡¯s battle had no effect on them at all. Dong Xi remained silent. Seeing that the rain of arrows was about to pierce through her, she used his movement technique to dodge nimbly. Dong Xi quickly retreated and did not listen at all. She could guess that everyone must be scolding her. Dong Xi retreated and said to the crowd, ¡°We have no other choice but to fight.¡± Unable to change sides, they could only lead the attacking side to defeat the defending side and enter the city openly. Long Wei said angrily, ¡°You really can¡¯t do anything but spoil things. Alright, we just rested for a while, and now we have to fight again. Who can stand it!?¡± Hearing Long Wei¡¯s words, Dong Xi did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, ¡°Men will never say no.¡± Long Wei¡¯s stomach was full of anger, but he was immediately choked back by this sentence. Long Wei angrily picked up a heavy weapon and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you off today. If you dare to cause trouble again, I¡¯ll definitely kill you as a sacrifice.¡± Dong Xi did not take these words to heart. Instead, she looked at Long Wei¡¯s weapon and said, ¡°Why are you using such a big hammer? Can you swing it?¡± Long Wei immediately shouted, ¡°Stop bullsh*tting! I am from an aristocratic family of cksmiths! How could I not lift this hammer?!¡± Dong Xi suddenly understood and gave him a thumbs up. Dong Xi said, ¡°Awesome!¡± Being praised like this, Long Wei swallowed the words he was about to say. After all, it was said that one should not hit a smiling person, right? Of course, they did not have the time to continue arguing here. The soldiers were already in front of them, so everyone had to charge together. Dong Xi already knew that these people were in cahoots with them, so she acted very valiantly. Not only did she protect everyone, but she also protected the soldiers beside him. Four hourster, Dong Xi faintly realized that although there were many soldiers, they seemed to be divided into four groups. Coincidentally, the group that came to the city was also the fourth group. Thinking of this, Dong Xi felt that she should protect these people well and not make any needless sacrifices. Chapter 456 - 456 Reaching the Summit 456 Reaching the Summit After a long fight, Dong Xi realized that the damage these people caused was all physical damage. To Dong Xi, who was in the fifthyer of Body Refining Tier, it seemed to be useless. Dong Xi threw her shield to her teammate. She rushed to the front with her sword and shouted, ¡°Cover me, I¡¯m going to the top!¡± Seeing Dong Xi¡¯s entire body exposed, Shangguan Yun¡¯er was scared out of her wits. Shangguan Yun¡¯ er shouted, ¡°Husband, be careful.¡± When Long Wei saw Dong Xi like this, he thought that Dong Xi had gone crazy. One had to know that Long Wei was wearing a Daoist robe, so he did not dare to not rush out. After all, there were always ces that the Daoist robe could not protect. In this team, only Tie Zhu knew Dong Xi well enough. He stretched out his hand and took Dong Xi¡¯s shield. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Junior Brother. I¡¯m here!¡± Dong Xi smiled and charged towards thedder with her sword in hand. Although Dong Xi¡¯s movement technique did not have the support of spiritual energy, she was still more powerful than ordinary people because of her physique. Dong Xi exerted her strength while she ran close and jumped ten feet high. She tapped the tip of her toes on thedder to borrow strength and quickly rushed towards the city wall. Someone on the city wall shouted, ¡°Kill him!¡± At this moment, Dong Xi had no time to listen to whether the voices belonged to the soldiers or cultivators. All she could do was focus on dodging the falling rocks from the city wall. As for the bow and arrows, they were indeed unable to cause any harm to Dong Xi. The city walls that were several meters tall might be difficult for other mortals to reach the top, but it was much easier for Dong Xi. However, just as Dong Xi was about to reach the top, a gust of wind blew over. Dong Xi sensed that this attack might hurt her, so she quickly turned around and dodged the attack. However, the opponent did not give up just because Dong Xi had dodged. That person¡¯s de once again attacked Dong Xi. Dong Xi immediately flipped over and kicked the sword. Dong Xi was given some time to catch her breath. At the same time, she recognized that the attacker should be a cultivator who hade to the Secret Realm with her. Perhaps this person¡¯s cultivation was higher than Dong Xi¡¯s, but he was unable to use his spiritual power now. In terms of physical fitness, Dong Xi was really not afraid of anyone. Dong Xi borrowed the strength from thedder and jumped onto anotherdder. That person chased after her relentlessly. At this moment, an arrow shot over and directly deflected the de. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry,¡± Cui Liu shouted. ¡°I¡¯ll cover for you.¡± Dong Xi took advantage of this time to quickly climb up and finally reached the city wall. With Dong Xi blocking the attack, more and more people climbed up the city wall. The cultivators on the defensive side had yet to realize their duty. Seeing that the city was broken, they did not choose to fight with their lives on the line. He might as well surrender quickly and see what changes there were in the Secret Realm. They had been here for two days and were still stuck on the city wall. Every time they wanted to continue, they would be stopped by the soldiers. However, they did not expect that the moment the city fell, they did not even have a chance to surrender. All the defenders disappeared. Dong Xi stood on the city wall and looked around. He found that the city seemed to be empty. Those things just now¡­ Where did he go? Before Dong Xi could figure it out, the scene changed again. Dong Xi was still standing on the city wall, but the traces of battle had disappeared. A soldier ran forward and bowed to Dong Xi. The soldier said, ¡°Vice General, the General wants you to go over.¡± Dong Xi was stunned. When did she be a Vice General? Although she was curious, she still had to push the boat with the current and continue the plot. Dong Xi put away the long sword in her hand and said, ¡°Lead the way.¡± She followed behind the soldiers and walked down the city wall toward the General¡¯s Estate. The pedestrians and peddlers on the road were exactly the same as the secr world. Dong Xi frowned. She wanted to ask where Tie Zhu and the others were, but she did not know how to ask. When she arrived at the entrance of the General¡¯s Estate, he saw that the two figures guarding the door were very familiar. Dong Xi smiled again. Tie Zhu winked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi held back herughter and entered the door. The General¡¯s surname was Song. He looked at Dong Xi with a worried expression. General Song said, ¡°Vice General, yesterday we broke through the city, and your strength is outstanding. Today, I invited you here because there are 400,000 troops of bandits 30 miles north of my city. It seems that it will be another tough battle. I wonder what are your thoughts on this battle?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°?¡± Thoughts? Dong Xi still did not know what was going on. Moreover, they had just broken through the city and were going to continue fighting? Could it be¡­ Another change in camp? Now, they were on the defensive? Dong Xi said, ¡°I¡¯m stupid. I only have some brute force. I really don¡¯t have any ideas. Everything will be under the General¡¯smand.¡± When General Song heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he said meaningfully, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, not bad.¡± Dong Xi went out of the General¡¯s Mansion and found Tie Zhu and Long Wei, asking where the others were. The two of them did not know either. They were already here when they opened their eyes, and they could not leave yet. Chapter 457 - 457 Another War 457 Another War Dong Xi looked at the two of them and said, ¡°There¡¯s an 80 percent chance that there¡¯ll be another war tomorrow. You guys stand guard. I¡¯ll rest first.¡± Long Wei, ¡°¡­¡± What was that? Rest? Those on sentry duty don¡¯t deserve to rest? The sky slowly brightened. The familiar sound of a horn sounded outside the city wall. Dong Xi immediately climbed up the city wall. The battle cries outside were deafening. This formation was exactly the same as yesterday. Looking at the cultivators attacking crazily, they were all very familiar. One of them who wielded a saber was even more familiar. Dong Xi understood this time. It seemed that they had indeed changed factions. Dong Xi held her sword and killed her enemies with all her might. With each sh, she defeated an enemy soldier. She said loudly, ¡°The tables have turned. I won¡¯t let you break into the city today.¡± More and more people gathered behind Dong Xi. Dong Xi had long discovered that these people were the soldiers from the same camp as yesterday. Under Dong Xi¡¯s protection, many people survived, and today¡¯s harvest was much simpler. As expected, after a night, the soldiers who attacked the city all retreated. Dong Xi shook her numb arm and could not help but say, ¡°This is even more satisfying than body tempering!¡± Tie Zhu, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Even when I¡¯ve punched 300 times, it doesn¡¯t feel as good as the fight today.¡± Dong Xi ced a hand on Tie Zhu¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Senior Brother, think of it as body tempering. The current environment is quite suitable.¡± Tie Zhu raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°You really know how tofort people.¡± Tie Zhu rubbed his stomach and sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve been too tired these past few days.¡± Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, a soldier quickly ran over. The soldier bowed and said, ¡°Vice General, the General wants you to go over.¡± Dong Xi frowned, stood up, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, lead the way.¡± General Song was still in the study with a map on the desk. General Song looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°General, your strength is extraordinary. Do you have any ns to deal with these bandits tomorrow?¡± Dong Xi did not make up her mind this time. Dong Xi suddenly understood that General Song had called her over. Was there a chance for a change? When they were outside the city, Dong Xi had nothing to do with every attack. However, after the defense, General Song actually called Dong Xi over for a discussion. She made a bold guess. Could it be that she had fulfilled some conditions during the attack, which gave her the right to speak this time? She could not just leave it at that. Otherwise, if this continued, how was she going to find the treasure? With this thought in mind, Dong Xi stole a nce at the map in front of General Song. Dong Xi had a sh of inspiration and said, ¡°General Song, we can go to Feisu City and ask for reinforcements.¡± ¡°Feisu City is also a small city,¡± General Song shook his head and said. ¡°How can it stop the 400,000-strong army of bandits?¡± ¡°General Song, Feisu City might not be able to deal with these bandits alone,¡± Dong Xi said immediately. ¡°But with us there, there will definitely be no problem if we cooperate.¡± General Song thought for a long time, then suddenly mmed the table and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you a fast horse. You can go to Feisu City.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Fine, I¡¯ll go. ording to the settings, there would be a truce at night, so she should be able to reach Feisu City safely. Everything here was very real, not like an illusion at all. Dong Xi was also paying close attention to the guards and citizens of Feisu City. She did not find a single familiar face. In other words, there was no one in Feisu City, and no one knew where the rest of the cultivators were. Dong Xi was brought by a soldier to see the General guarding Feisu City. As soon as Dong Xi asked for help, the other party immediately refused. ¡°How can we support you with so few people?¡± asked the General. ¡°We¡¯re no match for the bandits!¡± Dong Xi looked straight into his eyes and said, ¡°General, it is because you are not a match for the bandits that you should support us. The two cities are so close. If we are breached, how will you deal with the bandits¡¯ 400,000-strong army? If the General is unwilling to help us, then be prepared to be ughtered. ording to what we know, the bandits will not be too merciful to the defeated.¡± Dong Xi was grateful to her school for teaching war history lessons. It was just in time to use such knowlege. The General was also somewhat moved by Dong Xi¡¯s words. Dong Xi continued, ¡°General, we are the defending side. They have at least twice the number of troops to break through the city. If you support us, we might be able to resist them together¡­¡± ¡­ Dong Xi brought the men back to the city they were defending. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the siege battle was underway. Even though they did not have a fierce General like Dong Xi, the city was not so easy to take down. Chapter 458 - 458 Sound the Golden Bell and Retreat 458 Sound the Golden Bell and Retreat Now that Dong Xi had led her men to attack from the nk, the bandits did not know what was going on and did not dare to rush to attack them. The bandits immediately sounded the bell and withdrew their troops. Dong Xi entered the city gate and was immediately received by the excited General Song. General Song said, ¡°Vice General, you are indeed useful and resourceful. Today¡¯s battle has boosted our morale. In a few more rounds, the bandits will definitely flee.¡± ¡°This is all thanks to General Song¡¯s goodmand,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. General Song patted Dong Xi¡¯s shoulder and looked at her with admiration. After thinking for a moment, General Song took out a token and gave it to Dong Xi. ¡°This is my token,¡± General Song said. ¡°Take it well. You cane to the General¡¯s Estate to discuss matters with me at any time.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. He bowed respectfully and received the token. As everyone knew, the items in the Secret Realm were all very important, let alone a key treasure like the token. Who knows, it mighte in handy one day. Dong Xi had brought reinforcements, so the war ended very quickly. Dong Xi left the General¡¯s Estate, thinking about the token along the way. Caught off guard, she bumped into someone. Dong Xi looked over and realized that it was actually a child. Compared to Dong Xi, this child was the real child. He seemed to be only six or seven years old. The child immediately knelt on the ground and said, ¡°Sir, spare my life. I didn¡¯t mean to offend you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± said Dong Xi calmly. The child took a look at Dong Xi¡¯s expression, then secretly stood up and wanted to run away. Dong Xi did not stop him. Instead, she followed after the child left. How could a child shake off Dong Xi? Moreover, when she was not in battle, Dong Xi could still use her spiritual energy. Following the child, they turned left and right for a long time before finally arriving in front of a dpidated house. Although it was called a house, it was actually a shack. The child said in the house, ¡°Grandma, look, I have money to take you to see a doctor.¡± As he spoke, the child took out the token and showed it to his grandmother. The old woman took a look and immediately scolded the child to return the token. The child disagreed. The child said, ¡°Grandma, I just want to treat you. If I can¡¯t save you, I¡¯m just a useless thing.¡± The olddy said, ¡°You brat, cough cough¡­ Grandma knows that you¡¯re a good child¡­¡± As the olddy spoke, Dong Xi walked in from outside. Dong Xi said, ¡°Old Lady, the child is right. Even if he can¡¯t save anyone, he¡¯s still a useless thing no matter how good he is.¡± The old woman tried his best to sit up and looked at Dong Xi in confusion. The old woman said, ¡°And you are?¡± Dong Xi knew that these people were all alive, so she could not treat them as illusions. Dong Xi looked at the old woman¡¯s confused eyes and said with a smile, ¡°I am the owner of this token.¡± Dong Xi cut off a piece from the token and ced it in the old woman¡¯s hand. After that, Dong Xi left the ce. The child ran out of the house and shouted, ¡°Why are you helping me?¡± Dong Xi stopped but did not turn back. Looking at the setting sun that was mostly blocked by the city wall, Dong Xi said, ¡°We protect the country so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If the people don¡¯t have a living, then the country won¡¯t be a country, and the home won¡¯t be a home.¡± When Dong Xi spoke, she did not hide anything. Not only the child, but everyone else heard it. Just as Dong Xi was about to leave, someone rushed out and knelt down to kowtow. This person said, ¡°Sir, please save us. There are eight people in my family, old and young. Now, two taels of silver can¡¯t even buy a bucket of rice.¡± After this person took the lead, everyone knelt in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi originally wanted to take out the food from the storage ring and give it to everyone. However, for some reason, the food did not seem to be something from thisnd. Everyone could not see the food at all. Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at the token in her hand. Suddenly, she understood something. If this ce was a game, this token would be a prop. In order to clear the game, in the end, it was just to save these people. Dong Xi thought for a moment, and her mind was firm. She raised her head and threw the token out, saying, ¡°Take it and distribute it.¡± Seeing everyone crying with joy, Dong Xi said, ¡°Live well, the war will end.¡± Dong Xi looked at everyone kowtowing to her and felt ashamed. She left immediately. Dong Xi was not a god. It was impossible for her to save everyone in the world with just a lift of her hand. Dong Xi did not even want to give up on splitting the tokens. However¡­. She wanted to leave. When she reached the city wall, she found a secluded ce and took out a jade slip to secretly contact the guards she hired at a high price. [Where are all of you?] Chapter 459 - 459 The Way to Escape 459 The Way to Escape When the mercenaries saw Dong Xi¡¯s message, they began to reply. [I¡¯m in the desert.] [Oasis.] [I don¡¯t know where it is either. There seems to be ake above my head, but it also looks a little like the sea.] [Volcano.] [Battlefield!] ¡­ Everyone¡¯s situation was different. Dong Xi had hired 62 people, but there were only four of them here. Furthermore, Dong Xi did not know if everyone was on the same side. Dong Xi thought for a moment and sent another message. [Does anyone have any information? Is there a way to escape this ce?] After a moment of silence, everyone immediately replied. [Escape? Shouldn¡¯t they be here looking for treasure?] [That¡¯s right, I also thought that I was looking for treasure in the volcano¡­] Dong Xi was speechless. These guys did not even know that they were trapped? Did they really hire a bunch of idiots at a high price? For a moment, Dong Xi did not have the desire to continue chatting. It seemed that she had to rely on herself for everything! Dong Xi felt that the token and those people did not appear out of thin air. There must be some arrangement. Perhaps these people were the key to escaping. But¡­ Dong Xi could not think of any specific connection. After a night, Dong Xi woke up. Dong Xi discovered that she could still cultivate by relying on the moonlight in the Secret Realm. Dong Xi stood up and stretched her divine spark. However, before she could stretch her arms, a familiar horn sounded. At some point, General Song stood on the city wall. He waved his hand and shouted, ¡°Prepare for battle.¡± Dong Xi took out her longsword again. However, she realized that there were many more people behind her. Upon closer inspection, they were all the people who had been rescued yesterday. Seeing Dong Xie over, someone immediately said, ¡°We will follow the Vice General and guard our homnd.¡± Dong Xi saw that there were both men and women among these people. A gratified smile appeared on Dong Xi¡¯s face. Dong Xi did not know how long this battle wouldst. She could not drag it out like this. Dong Xi was deep in thought. Like an emotionless puppet, she stood on the city wall and killed everyone who was about to attack. At this moment, Dong Xi suddenly realized that there was a musical instrument ying. Dong Xi looked out of the corner of her eye and saw three courtesans sitting on the ground with guqin on their legs. The music contrasted with the battle cries on the battlefield, and no one stopped them. Dong Xi did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the fighting spirit of the soldiers seemed to have dropped a lot. Dong Xi suddenly recalled the story of being besieged on all sides¡­ The zither had such an effect? Not only Dong Xi, General Song also noticed this. The defenders had been in an advantageous position for three consecutive days, and now that the morale of the enemy was unstable, it was time for a counterattack. After a few rounds of arrows, General Song ordered the city gates to be opened. ¡°Kill!¡± General Song shouted. All the soldiers swarmed out, and Dong Xi immediately felt happy after seeing this. It turned out that both defense and offense were passive. But now, the defending side had turned the passive into the active, and the battlefield was being led. As Dong Xi was thinking, the people behind him started singing war songs. At this moment, Dong Xi believed that everyone¡¯s hearts were connected. Dong Xi smiled and rushed out with her sword in hand. ¡°Junior Brother, wait for me!¡± Tie Zhu shouted from behind.¡± Dong Xi had a premonition that everyone was about to leave this ce. Dong Xi stopped in her tracks and pulled Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Only after Tie Zhu and the others caught up did they rush into the distance. The enemy troops had already been routed. Everyone followed him out of the border. The original Gobi Deserthad changed. It was still the same terrain, but there were many flowers and nts growing on the Gobi Desert. Dong Xi stood still and looked at the others. She knew that everyone had already noticed the changes here. Long Wei was the first to say, ¡°Did we¡­ escape?¡± ¡°It should be.¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Long Wei said unhappily. ¡°If we did, then we did. If we didn¡¯t, then we didn¡¯t. Why are you still fooling people?¡± Dong Xi took out a bottle of pills and fed them to Shangguan Yun¡¯er, Tie Zhu, and Cui Liu. ¡°If I were you, I would immediately take out a water-proof magic tool to avoid sufferingter,¡± said Dong Xi. If Dong Xi was not wrong, this storage ring would not be able to be opened in a while. Therefore, Dong Xi directly ced the pill in her bosom. As expected, just as Dong Xi said that, she saw the flooding from afar. Shangguan Yun¡¯er and the others were stunned and could not help but run toward the higher ground. But how could a person outrun a flood? In addition, everyone could not use spiritual power now, so their speed was much slower. Soon, everyone was swept into the flood. However, in an instant, everyone realized that they could breathe in the water! Chapter 460 - 460 I Can’t Die 460 I Can¡¯t Die Everyone thought that it should have something to do with the medicinal pill that Dong Xi had just given them. Long Wei and Qing Niao were indeed choking. The most frustrating thing was that Long Wei did not know how to swim. Qing Niao opened the magic tool he had just taken out, and the two of them shrank into a protective shield. Both of them were very tall, and it was ufortable to look at them in the same protective shield. Dong Xi broke a tree in a circle. Long Wei rejoiced when he saw this. Fortunately, he did not make a move earlier. Otherwise, if this punchnded on his body, his spine would probably break. Dong Xi had Tie Zhu and the others climb up a tree. He turned around and broke another tree, letting Long Wei and Qing Niao climb up. Theyid on the tree trunk and drifted with the flow. Long Wei sighed and said, ¡°If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in the city and continued fighting.¡± ¡°There will always be a winner in a war. If you lose, can you imagine what will happen to you?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Long Wei immediately shut his mouth. He could not die. He also knew that he could not go against this violent pretty boy now. After drifting for half a day, Dong Xi and the others saw a hill not far away. Everyone¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. No matter who it was, it was very ufortable to be in the water all the time. Everyone helped each other to climb up the hill. As soon as they climbed up, the hill began to shake. Dong Xi looked at the top of the mountain and found that the hill that was originally fine was now smoking. Dong Xi immediately threw the log back into the water. Dong Xi shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s leave quickly. The volcano is about to erupt.¡± When everyone heard this, they immediately jumped into the water. Dong Xi used her hands as oars and paddled crazily. Not long after, another city entered everyone¡¯s sight. After spending a few days here, everyone was very familiar with it. ¡°Why are we back here again?¡± Tie Zhu asked. Dong Xi saw that the terrain there was a little low, so she immediately led everyone to another mountain. The volcano in the distance had already erupted, and the sky was dyed gray with volcanic ash. The air was filled with a pungent smell. Dong Xi tore off a piece of clothing and covered her mouth and nose. The backwater collided with theva, and arge amount of mist appeared in the sky. After waiting here for three days, Dong Xi woke up from the cold. Dong Xi opened her eyes and found that her surroundings were all white. ¡°It¡¯s snowing,¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. Dong Xi nodded. She stood up and looked at the city in the distance. She discovered that it had already turned into nothingness, as if everything had been buried in that natural disaster. ¡°What do we do now?¡± Long Wei asked in annoyance. What kind of Secret Realm is this? If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t havee.¡± Long Wei had been to a Secret Realm before, but it was the first time Long Wei had encountered such an outrageous one. It had been almost ten days since he entered, but not only did he not gain anything, he was also in a very sorry state. Dong Xi lowered her head as a thought shed through her mind. She said, ¡°I want to go to the volcano to take a look.¡± Tie Zhu and Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately said they wanted to go together, and Dong Xi agreed. Cui Liu thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯ll follow you too. I¡¯m too stupid. If I don¡¯t follow you, I might not be able to get out alive.¡± Long Wei said, ¡°I¡¯m not going. Who knows if it can still erupt? My life is precious!¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and said, ¡°My dear Young Master Long, I never wanted to bring you along.¡± The trees that he had brought with her had been turned into wooden nks by Dong Xi. They could be used as skateboards in the snow, and their walking speed would be much faster. Dong Xi thought that the Deep Sea Extreme Ice would only appear when it was extremely hot and icy. At this time, the volcano just happened to meet the conditions. Dong Xi had to go and take a look. Soon, everyone arrived at the volcano. The crater was still emitting smoke, and Dong Xi did not know if it could erupt. Dong Xi thought for a moment and said, ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll go and take a look myself¡­¡± Dong Xi did not finish the rest of his sentence. At this time, everyone did not have any spiritual power. If the volcano erupted, everyone could only rely on their bodies to withstand it. Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who had always been obedient, said, ¡°Husband, before I left, my father gave me a flying device that only requires spirit stones.¡± Dong Xi was stunned at first, then she said happily, ¡°How many people can sit on it?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er took off the ne on her neck and handed it to Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°It can fit two people.¡± Dong Xi also took out the little green leaf in her arms. Dong Xi said, ¡°I also have an aircraft here. It¡¯s just right for two people.¡± Dong Xi handed little green leaf to Tie Zhu and asked him to sit with Cui Liu. Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun¡¯er sat on the same magic tool. As for the spirit stones, Tie Zhu and Cui Liu had also hidden some of them. They could use them now! Chapter 461 - 461 Map Overlapping? 461 Map Ovepping? Arriving at the volcano, Dong Xi took a deep breath of the fire element in the air. If it was not for the fact that her spiritual power was sealed at this time, this ce would really be a holynd for cultivation. Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at the crater. She was shocked to find that there were many people here. Dong Xi recalled that the people she hired said that it was at the crater of the volcano. Could it be that the maps ovepped? There seemed to be a street on the cliff of the volcano. Many cultivators started to do business here. ¡°There¡¯s someone here?¡± Tie Zhu asked excitedly. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look too.¡± Dong Xi immediately stopped Tie Zhu. Dong Xi picked up a stone and threw it into the street. When the rock was about to hit, it seemed to have encountered some kind of barrier and was stopped. ¡°It¡¯s not that simple.¡± Dong Xi sighed. ¡°That¡¯s understandable,¡± Cui Liu said. ¡°Why are there still streets after the volcano eruption?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er had just started cultivating, so her body could not withstand such high temperatures. Shangguan Yun¡¯er took two steps back and identally stepped on a rock. Shangguan Yun¡¯er hurriedly moved forward. The stone slid down the cliff. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked down and her heart skipped a beat. ¡°Husband,e and see.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er said. Dong Xi looked over and was instantly shocked. Dong Xi said, ¡°The flood ising again.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s guess was right. Even if they changed the venue, they would only enter a new cycle. After the flood, volcanoes erupted, followed by heavy snow. If everyone wanted to enter the street, they had to quickly find the key to leaving. Everyone hurriedly ced the spirit stones on the flying magic tools. As soon as they boarded the flying magic tools, the volcano began to smoke. Dong Xi counted the spirit stones and estimated how long he couldst. ¡°Let¡¯s find a ce tond first,¡± Dong Xi said. Tie Zhu and Cui Liu immediately agreed when they saw the speed of the consumption of spirit stones. Long Wei, who had been resting on the spot, saw that everyone had returned. Long Wei immediately sat up and said, ¡°Why are you back? It¡¯s not that easy to go up the volcano, right?¡± Dong Xi ignored Long Wei and sat down. Dong Xi noticed that the spiritual energy in her Dantian had started to circte. She hurriedly said, ¡°Senior Brother, can you use spiritual energy now?¡± Tie Zhu tried, then shook his head. Dong Xi looked at Cui Liu and got the same answer. Dong Xi was immediately very puzzled. What was going on? Dong Xi could use a portion of the weak spiritual energy. Although it was very weak, it was better than nothing. This bit of spiritual energy was enough for Dong Xi to open the storage ring. ¡°You guys stay here and wait for me. I¡¯ll go scout the way,¡± Dong Xi said. Dong Xi had been in the water all this time, so she did not have much understanding of the terrain here. However, she was able to see the entire terrain clearly when she sat on the flying device. After seeing it clearly, Dong Xi started to ponder. The flood water here was connected from head to tail, forming a circle. A volcano that could erupt at any time was a point in the circle. Lava spewed out with umted power and then sank into the flood. If Dong Xi and Li Li had not learned divination before, Dong Xi would probably be confused right now. Looking at this scene, Dong Xi immediately thought of four words. Yin and Yang. The Dao of Yin and Yang was supposed toplement each other. But now, it was Yin flourishing and Yang declining. Of course, he needed to find a way to readjust this situation. Thinking of this, Dong Xi returned to his original spot and told Tie Zhu and Cui Liu that Dong Xi needed to dig ake. ¡°Ake?¡± Tie Zhu asked. ¡°Junior Brother, what are you thinking? The flood was so rampant, how big of a hole would you have to dig to contain the flood?¡± Cui Liu also said with a puzzled look, ¡°Fellow Daoist, we are here to search for treasures. Why are we digging ake?¡± Cui Liu and Tie Zhu were still polite. Long Wei said mockingly, ¡°If you are bored, why don¡¯t you massage my shoulders? I can give you some spirit stones to spend on digging theke? In the end, digging is a waste of energy.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°If you want the treasure, you¡¯ll have to go to the true Secret RealmLand. If you stay here, you won¡¯t find anything. I think this ce is a formation. The Yin and Yang are out of bnce. Perhaps only by storing water can the formation return to the right track. Of course, this is all my guess. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s right.¡± The scene instantly fell silent. Perhaps they were too stupid to keep up with Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was the first to speak, ¡°I will listen to my husband.¡± Tie Zhu thought for a moment and said, ¡°Junior Brother, I¡¯ll help you.¡± No matter what treasure it was, Tie Zhu hade with his Junior Sister to gain experience. What was important was not what treasure he obtained, but the experience. Tie Zhu looked at Cui Liu and said sincerely, ¡°Brother Liu, I¡¯ll take a look with my Junior Brother. You don¡¯t have to go.¡± Chapter 462 - 462 Try It 462 Try It Tie Zhu thought that if his Junior Sister guessed wrong, Tie Zhu would treat it as her fooling around, but there was no reason for others to follow suit. Cui Liu was hesitant at first, but after hearing Tie Zhu¡¯s words, Cui Liu said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I think Fellow Daoist is right. We might as well give it a try if we¡¯re trapped here.¡± The four of them reached a consensus. Just as they were about to leave, Long Wei actually followed them. Tie Zhu nced at Long Wei and said, ¡°Long Wei, what do you want to do?¡± Long Wei still had a sloppy appearance as he said, ¡°Of course I¡¯m going to dig theke with you. I¡¯ve rested for so long and have no ce to use my strength.¡± Long Wei knew very well that it was better to try Dong Xi¡¯s method than to be trapped here and wait to be thrown out of the Secret Realm. Now that there was no way out, he could not let go of any possibility. Dong Xi brought Shangguan Yun¡¯er to the flying device. Dong Xi said regretfully, ¡°Unfortunately, the aircraft can only carry two people.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Send them there ande back to pick us up,¡± Long Wei said indifferently. ¡°We can¡¯t use spiritual energy now. The flying device uses top-grade spirit stones.¡± Long Wei smiled disdainfully and threw a spirit stone to Dong Xi. Dong Xi caught it. ¡°Is this enough for this Young Master¡¯s travel expenses?¡± Long Wei asked. ¡°No problem,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. If someone was willing to be a generous man and give her spirit stones, why wouldn¡¯t she agree? Dong Xi found the ce she had chosen and ced them on a nearby mountain. Then, she pointed at them. ¡°Dig theke there,¡± said Dong Xi. Long Wei looked at this terrain and his eyes widened. Long Wei said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you crazy? With such a huge mountain blocking the way, how could the water flow in? Or do you want to move the mountain?¡± Dong Xi gave Long Wei an unfathomable expression and said, ¡°We are just digging a canal to bring water over.¡± Long Wei was rendered speechless. Tie Zhu rolled up his sleeves and said, ¡°Junior Brother, how do we dig? Where do we start digging?¡± Dong Xi shook her head and pretended to take out a ck object. No one noticed that she took it from her storage ring. ¡°Senior Brother, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll use this first.¡± Dong Xi said. After saying that, Dong Xi threw the item in her hand out. Just as it was about tond on the ground, she instantly injected spiritual energy into it and detonated it. In an instant, there was a loud bang, and the mountains copsed and the earth cracked. Dong Xi, who had been acting cool and unfathomable, had also been turned into a y figurine by the dust that filled the sky. The others were naturally the same, but no one dared to say anything, including Long Wei. Because a huge pit had appeared on the ground, it was barely enough to be used as ake. The scene immediately fell silent for a long time. Long Wei smiled and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, I spoke too loudly just now.¡± Dong Xi did not say anything. She just quietly felt the spiritual energy in her body. Logically speaking, he had just opened the storage ring and detonated the magic tool given by the Shangguan Patriarch. That little bit of spiritual energy should have been used up. However, this spiritual energy that came out of nowhere was like the eye of a spring, flowing endlessly. It was really strange. ¡°Big Snake, did I use your spiritual energy?¡± Dong Xi asked in her sea of consciousness. There was no response. Dong Xi did not continue to be conflicted. She first finished the matter in front of her. After Dong Xi¡¯s attack, the effect was especially obvious. The originally arrogant Long Wei had now be ackey. Long Wei said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re really fierce. You have such a powerful magic tool, but you¡¯re still so low-key.¡± At this moment, Long Wei was very d in his heart. Fortunately, Dong Xi did not argue with him. Whether it was in terms of martial strength or the magic tools she took out, Long Wei was no match at all. Dong Xi pointed at the big pit and said, ¡°This is not enough. We need to make it bigger and deeper, and then open up an opening in the mountain.¡± When Long Wei saw Dong Xi go down, he hurriedly followed. Long Wei said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, why don¡¯t you continue to blow it up? One more time should be enough. Why do we have to spend so much effort digging?¡± Dong Xi rolled her eyes at Long Wei. Dong Xi wanted to do the same, but Shangguan Patriarch gave him this one. Dong Xi naturally could not ell the truth. She said, ¡°If we use them all to blow up, why would we need to refine our bodies?¡± When Long Wei heard this, he was instantly stunned on the spot. Long Wei immediately understood why everyone had no spiritual energy, but Dong Xi was still so fierce. So¡­ This person is a body cultivator? While Long Wei was in a daze, Dong Xi had already used her fist to grab a huge rock. Dong Xi shouted, ¡°Hurry up and move the stone away.¡± Long Wei nodded and immediately ran over. Chapter 463 - 463 The Last Leap 463 The Last Leap The stone was really heavy. Long Wei thought that he could not move it at all, but Dong Xi could always control the most suitable weight. Long Wei carried the stone on his back and gritted his teeth as he said, ¡°I feel like I¡¯m going to die soon. I¡¯m only left with thest straw.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this just nice?¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. The sky slowly darkened, and spiritual energy could be used again. Dong Xi used a cleaning spell to clean everyone up. Long Wei even directly formed a seal and took out a pot of water. Long Wei said, ¡°Come, drink some water to relieve your fatigue.¡± Dong Xi took a look and said, ¡°You have a water spirit root?¡± Long Wei smiled and nodded. Cultivators with water spiritual roots were not good at fighting, and Long Wei was afraid of being looked down upon, so he had been hiding his strength. Dong Xi did not say anything. She picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. When she found nothing unusual, she handed the water bottle to the others. At this time, Long Wei had an obedient expression and was much more pleasing to the eye than before. ¡°You have a water spirit root, how can you refine weapons?¡± Dong Xi asked curiously. Long Wei patted the stone beside him, and the stone slowly turned golden. Was this the legendary turning stone into gold? Before she came to the cultivation world, when Dong Xi was at her poorest, she had always wanted to learn this skill. ¡°I see. You also have a metal spirit root.¡± Dong Xi nodded and leaned against the rock. Dong Xi said, ¡°Do you want to drink?¡± Long Wei was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°Yes.¡± Dong Xi took out a jar of Green Bamboo Wine and said, ¡°Don¡¯t drink water, drink this.¡± Long Wei looked at Dong Xi in confusion. However, after drinking it, his originally sore body suddenly felt a surge of strength. Was this body refinement? When Long Wei regained his senses, Dong Xi had already taken out her long sword and shed at the rock. While there was spiritual energy, she should seize the time to expand this ce and try to dig theke in two days. She could not stay here for too long. Long Wei went forward to help, and the others did not rest either. At this time, the most powerful one was of course Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Shangguan Yun¡¯er took out a pen and paper in front of everyone and drew a few small figures. These little people jumped out of the paper and helped everyone carry the gravel away from the pit. Under the moonlight, these people were indeed a little terrifying. Long Wei took two steps back and walked to Dong Xi¡¯s side. Long Wei said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, could it be that your wife is a ghost cultivator?¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Although Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s move was indeed a little strange, who said that only ghost cultivators knew how to do this? Long Wei sighed and said, ¡°Your wife is so beautiful. What a pity¡­ Such a beauty¡­¡± Dong Xi immediately said, ¡± Stop. What ghost cultivator? Look at my wife. Can¡¯t you see a shadow? She¡¯s still alive!¡± When Long Wei heard this, he immediately looked over. Long Wei frowned and said, ¡°There is indeed a shadow. This is really strange¡­¡± ¡°My wife is a painting cultivator. She entered the Dao through painting.¡± Long Wei immediately smiled and said, ¡°I knew it. How could such a beautiful woman be a ghost cultivator?¡± Dong Xi looked at the sky and said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be silly. Hurry up and get to work. It¡¯s almost dawn.¡± Long Wei said as he worked, ¡°Fellow Daoist, can I take you as my master?¡± Long Wei¡¯s words almost caused Dong Xi to be smashed in the foot by a rock. Fortunately, Dong Xi managed to dodge. Dong Xi looked at Long Wei in surprise. Dong Xi said, ¡°You want to take me as your Master?¡± Long Wei nodded and said, ¡°I can see that your swordsmanship is very impressive, and your body refinement is also so powerful. You¡¯re stronger than my old man. I¡¯ll take you as my Master. Teach me. When I¡¯m powerful in the future, I¡¯ll refine a peerless sword for you.¡± Most importantly, Dong Xi had too many good things. He did not know which old man¡¯s personal disciple he was. If Long Wei could follow him, the old man in the family would not be so strict in the future. When Dong Xi heard what Long Wei said, she was instantly stunned. Dong Xi thought in her heart that this guy¡¯s ability to give fake promises was almost the same as hers. Of course, Dong Xi was unmoved, and her hands did not stop moving. She said, ¡°No need. I have my own sword.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s sword was very useful. There was no need to take such a big trouble as a disciple just for a sword. At this time, the benefits of being shameless were revealed. Long Wei said again, ¡°Fellow Daoist, if you take me as your disciple, I can even run errands for you. Isn¡¯t it very cost-effective? And in the future, I¡¯ll definitely work hard.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that too annoying?¡± Dong Xi frowned. Long Wei still wanted to say something, but Dong Xi immediately cast a silence spell. Seeing that Long Wei could not say anything, Dong Xi said in satisfaction, ¡°Move the rocks obediently. If you talk nonsense again, I¡¯ll throw you into the volcano!¡± Chapter 464 - 464 Waiting for Daybreak 464 Waiting for Daybreak The sky slowly lit up, and everyone¡¯s spiritual energy could not be used again. After two days, the deep pit was finally dug. Dong Xi took advantage of the night to choose a low gap in front of the mountain and looked like she was going to cut it. After Tie Zhu saw this, he immediately walked forward and said, ¡°Junior Brother, let me do it.¡± Dong Xi saw Tie Zhu put on his boxing gloves, put away her sword, and stood aside. After being restrained for so long, he could finally use it now. Spiritual energy gathered on his entire set. With a punch, the entire mountain trembled. Tie Zhu did not show any signs of stopping after this punch. He continued to punch. After a set of fist techniques, each punchnded on the same ce, and the mountain wall was also prated. Cui Liu and Long Wei moved the remaining gravel and piled it on the original path of the flood. If Dong Xi remembered correctly, there was a city in the distance. After everything was done, Long Wei sat on the stone pile. The white clothes on his body were also extremely dirty. Long Wei looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, is this all? Do we still need to do anything?¡± Dong Xi raised her head and looked into the distance. ¡°Wait for daybreak.¡± After daybreak, the cycle started once again. The flood was drawn into theke. Today, they would know if it was really as Dong Xi had guessed. The flood surged again. After the volcanic eruption, the solidifiedva had already raised the riverbed by arge margin. Dong Xi and the others were also prepared. They covered their faces with a handkerchief to avoid choking on the volcanic ash. Dong Xi and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the flood water enter theke through the gap in the mountain. Now that the first step had been achieved, she did not know if theke could hold the flood. Dong Xi brought everyone to the highest mountain peak. Seeing the flood entering the huge pit and the water flow slowing down, everyone instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Long Wei subconsciously looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Looks like it will work?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go see the volcano,¡± said Dong Xi. As he spoke, Dong Xi looked at Long Wei. Dong Xi said, ¡°Are you guys going?¡± Long Wei said without hesitation, ¡°Yes.¡± Long Wei felt that Dong Xi must have discovered something, which was why she went to the volcano. Long Wei naturally followed along. He did not need to get huge treasures, but he could at least benefit a little. Ever since he came here, he hadn¡¯t gotten anything. Long Wei also had a flying magic tool. Two days ago, he took it out when there was spiritual energy. Naturally, he did not need to give Dong Xi spirit stones. Everyone was lying on the volcano. Long Wei was very surprised. There was actually a street below? Dong Xi casually picked up the stone and threw it onto the street. When the others saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, they immediately became nervous. The stone moved in andnded on the head of a person who had just walked out of the house. This person immediately looked up at the sky and cursed angrily, ¡°Which bastard hit me? Come out if you have the guts.¡± The others immediately retracted their heads, but Dong Xi jumped out and stepped on the protruding rocks, rushing towards the street. When the man saw a young man suddenly appear in front of him, he frowned and said, ¡°You hit me?¡± Dong Xi immediately took out a token. That person immediately said, ¡°Are you the one who hired me?¡± His initial anger immediately dissipated after seeing the token. What was the big deal about getting hit by a stone? This was his sponsor who had given him 1,000 best-grade spirit stones! ¡°Can we talk in private?¡± Dong Xi asked with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the restaurant.¡±¡± Seeing Dong Xi and that person enter the restaurant, everyone was stunned for a moment before jumping down one by one. The person who was talking to Dong Xi was called Yu Wei. Yu Wei ordered a pot of wine and poured it for Dong Xi himself. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you from the Secret Realm?¡± asked Dong Xi.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Yu Wei nodded. ¡°What have you found after such a long time?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°Is there only one street here?¡± ¡°No,¡± Yu Wei said. ¡°I heard these people say that there¡¯s no exit in the outside world. I heard that there was a disaster here, so I came here to hide.¡± ¡°The fire spiritual energy here is very dense, and it¡¯s very unfriendly to other cultivators.¡± Dong Xi frowned. When Yu Wei heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, he rejoiced. He finally found someone to talk to. Yu Wei said, ¡°Speaking of which, you might not believe me. I have three spiritual roots, water, wood, and metal. My cultivation speed is already slow to begin with. The spiritual energy here is basically all fire element. The more spiritual energy we consume, the less we will be able to make up for it. The only way is to use spills or spirit stones, but all those cost resources¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same for everyone, right?¡± Dong Xi said softly, Of course, Dong Xi was not like that. She had the fire spirit root, so he was like a fish in water here. Chapter 465 - 465 All of Them Have Fire Spirit Roots? 465 All of Them Have Fire Spirit Roots? Dong Xi pondered for a moment and looked at Yu Wei. Dong Xi said, ¡°These locals can¡¯t all have fire spiritual roots, right?¡± Yu Wei revealed an indescribable expression. Dong Xi was instantly stunned. Dong Xi said, ¡°Are you serious¡­Really?¡± Yu Wei nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. They seem to be from the Fire Tribe. Everyone is a fire spirit root.¡± So it was like this. Fire spirits and cultivators liked this kind of environment the most, so the locals did not want to leave after staying here for many years. Of course, it was notpletely self-sealing. There were also channels for externalmunication. ¡°How many cultivators are here?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°I don¡¯t know either, but I¡¯ve already found three. Including me, there are four.¡± ¡°The entire group chats,¡± replied Dong Xi. The other three people were not having an easy time here either. At this moment, a message came from theirmunication jade slips. They saw Dong Xi¡¯s message. [Have you ever thought of leaving through the crater?] Someone immediately replied. [I¡¯ve thought about it and done it, but there are restrictions in the Fire Tribe¡¯s gathering ce. I can¡¯t get out at all.] Dong Xi was silent for a moment before sending another message. [Everyone, split up and ask around. If there¡¯s any way to get out, write it down and share it in the group.] Regardless of whether these people listened or not, Dong Xi did not care. After finishing the wine that Yu Wei poured, Dong Xi felt the fire element in the wine and directly packed the rest of the wine. ¡°Thank you for the wine, Fellow Daoist. I won¡¯t hesitate. I¡¯ll go out for a walk. If I find a way out, I¡¯ll bring you along.¡± She had already met the person she had spent a lot of money to hire. How could she not use him? Dong Xi strode out of the tavern, and Shangguan Yun¡¯er and the others immediately surrounded her. ¡°Husband, are you alright?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine. We just want to leave. We need to think of a way,¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said. ¡°What method?¡± Long Wei asked in confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t know yet. You guys go find a ce to stay. I¡¯ll walk around.¡± The buildings here were all built against the mountain. Caves were dug out from the mountain walls and decorated with stone strips. Dong Xi walked aimlessly on the street. Not long after, she saw two big words carved on a stone: Bathing Area! Although the cleaning spell could be used in the cultivation world, the feeling of taking a bath was reallyfortable. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and walked in. A waiter with a red face came forward and said, ¡°Hello, Customer. Do you want to take a bath?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. How many spirit stones do you charge?¡± Dong Xi nodded. ¡°Spirit stones? If you used spirit stones, one low-grade spirit stone would be enough. If you used fire spirit crystals, it would be ten crystals.¡± Dong Xi immediately realized that the currency here was different from the outside world. Although Dong Xi did not have many fire spirit crystals, she had a lot of spirit stones. One low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for ten low-grade fire spirit crystals¡­ Was she rich here? Dong Xi casually took out a low-grade spirit stone and gave it to the waiter. When the waiter saw the spirit stones given by Dong Xi, his eyes lit up. However, he did not take the spirit stones. The waiter said with some difficulty, ¡°Sir, are you from outside?¡± Dong Xi nodded her head. The faces of the natives here were all red. A pretty boy like Dong Xi was very conspicuous here. ¡°If you came in from outside, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to enjoy our local bath,¡± said the waiter. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. If I can¡¯t bathe here, I¡¯ll just treat it as an experience. You can just keep this spirit stone.¡± When the waiter heard Dong Xi say this, he reached out and took the spirit stone. Seeing that the spirit stones could be used, Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Dong Xi followed the waiter all the way inside. Inside the shop was a staircase leading down. After walking for a long time, the waiter stopped and turned to look at Dong Xi. The waiter said, ¡°This is the ce. You can do whatever you want as long as you don¡¯t disturb the others.¡± Dong Xi looked over and waspletely shocked. How was this bathing? This was self-immtion! The so-called bath was not water at all. It was¡­ Lava! Dong Xi relied on her body refinement and the fire spirit to reach out her hand to try. However, she did not expect that as soon as she got close, she would feel a burning sensation. Dong Xi immediately controlled the wood spiritual energy to repair his finger and relieve the pain. However, she did not expect that her finger would feel even more ufortable. Dong Xi sighed lightly. She did not continue to stay there and walked up the stairs. However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood outside the counter and chatted with the waiter. Dong Xi took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to the waiter. Dong Xi said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, why aren¡¯t you afraid ofva? I also have a fire spiritual root, but I still can¡¯t bear it.¡± Chapter 466 - 466 The Blessing of the Fire God 466 The Blessing of the Fire God When the waiter saw the spirit stones, he immediately smiled and said, ¡°Fellow cultivator, you might not know this, but our Fire Tribe has been here since we were born.¡± Dong Xi nodded. The waiter continued, ¡°Of course, this has something to do with the habits of our Fire Tribe.¡± Dong Xi immediately became serious, as if she was about to know something important. ¡°Hm?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°What habit?¡± The waiter hooked his finger and Dong Xi immediately stepped forward. The waiter whispered, ¡°We Fire Tribesmen will eat the Blessing of the Fire God. After eating it, we won¡¯t be afraid of the fire.¡± Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°There¡¯s such a good thing?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± said the waiter. ¡°But the Blessing of the Fire God is gradually decreasing. After we Fire Tribe members pass away, we will have to take back the Fire God¡¯s Blessing.¡± So it was a cycle. ¡°Where is the Fire God¡¯s Blessing?¡± asked Dong Xi. The waiter looked at Dong Xi. The waiter frowned and shook his head, ¡°You can¡¯t say. If you¡¯re not from the Fire Tribe, you can¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Can I buy a Blessing of the Fire God with some spirit stones?¡± asked Dong Xi. ¡°No, you can¡¯t. You¡¯re not from the Fire Tribe, so you can¡¯t use it.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± Dong Xi did not believe it. If these people were not moved, then it meant that she did not pay them enough. These Fire Tribe people were all in good health. This was also rted to the fact that they had been living in the fire since they were young. If Dong Xi could obtain the Blessing of the Fire God, could she also bathe in theva? Since she could not buy it here, he would find a local auction ce to take a look. Before they could find the auction house, Dong Xi received a message from Tie Zhu. Tie Zhu told Dong Xi that he had already found an inn and asked Dong Xi toe back to take a look. The houses here were all built on the mountain wall. The beds, tables, and chairs in the houses were also made of stone. The moment Dong Xi entered the room, she could feel the dense fire element. She could even feel that her fire spirit root was very active. Tie Zhu walked to Dong Xi¡¯s side and whispered, ¡°Junior Sister, the prices here are really cheap. You can stay in the best room for five low-grade spirit stones.¡± Dong Xi smiled and whispered, ¡°Senior Brother, when you leave, change into some fire crystal stones and bring them back.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll remember it.¡± Tie Zhu said. The room was very big. Dong Xi waved her hand and cast a cleaning spell before lying on the bed. It had been a long time since he had slept in a bed. The room was filled with fire spiritual energy. The fire spiritual energy flew into Dong Xi¡¯s body on its own. There was no need for cultivation at all. No wonder the Fire Tribe did not want to leave this ce, and neither did Dong Xi. This was simply¡­ It felt so good! After getting used to the fire spiritual energy here, how could theypare to the fire spiritual energy they absorbed outside? There was no moon in this area, so Dong Xi did not need to sit under the moonlight. She was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep. This was also the first time Dong Xi had slept since she arrived in the cultivation world. What she did not know was that while she was sleeping, a ck shadow slid down from her arm and transformed into her original form in the room. Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi, who was sleeping on the bed. Su Cheng was very resentful. Then, Su Cheng turned around and slowly disappeared. Dong Xi did not wake up naturally, but was awakened by the knocking on the door. Dong Xi stood up vigntly and looked outside the door. Dong Xi said, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Junior Sister, something bad has happened.¡± Dong Xi immediately opened the door and saw Tie Zhu¡¯s anxious expression. Tie Zhu immediately said, ¡°Junior Sister, something bad has happened. The Fire Tribe said that someone entered their forbidden area and stole half of the Fire God¡¯s blessing¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s heart thumped. She said, ¡°This is bad.¡± ¡°The Fire Tribe said that it was not lost before we came,¡± Tie Zhu continued. ¡± So, we stole the blessing of the Fire God.¡± ¡°Do you know who stole it?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know, and no one will admit it.¡± Tie Zhu shook his head. ¡°Tell everyone to hide well. It¡¯s fine if one of them escapes. Then, we¡¯ll slowly think of a way.¡± Dong Xi said helplessly. Dong Xi had a magic tool that could change her appearance. It was very easy for Dong Xi to turn himself as red as the Fire Race, but the others could not. Dong Xi hid outside and looked at the inn from time to time. Suddenly, someone approached Dong Xi. Just as he was about to pat Dong Xi on the shoulder, he was thrown over her shoulder. After this person was thrown down by Dong Xi, hey on the ground and groaned. ¡°Fellow Daoist, I just wanted to say hello to you,¡± the man said. ¡°Why are you so cruel? Do we have a grudge?¡± Chapter 467 - 467 Let’s Talk Somewhere Else 467 Let¡¯s Talk Somewhere Else This person¡¯s face was also red, and he looked very unfamiliar. However, the aura on his body was very familiar to Dong Xi. Dong Xi frowned and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, ¡°You are Long Wei?¡± Long Wei stood up and reattached his dislocated arm. Long Wei said, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. Let¡¯s talk somewhere else.¡± Dong Xi nodded. This was naturally not the ce to talk. The two of them came to the teahouse and opened the restrictions in the room. Long Wei said, ¡°I have a magic tool that can change my appearance. When I saw that the situation wasn¡¯t right, I immediately ran away. Qing Niao didn¡¯t run away. He was captured by the Fire Tribe. I heard that the Fire Tribe¡¯s Patriarch is very angry. He said that if he didn¡¯t hand over the Fire God¡¯s Blessing, he would use Qing Niao and the others as sacrifices to appease the Fire God¡¯s anger.¡± Dong Xi said angrily, ¡°Which bastard stole the Fire God¡¯s Blessing? Why would the Fire Tribe let them off after such a petty act? They didn¡¯t know how to leave either.¡± As Dong Xi spoke, her arm swept across the shop as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction. Dong Xi immediately swallowed the words she wanted to say. She thought of a possibility. Although it was a little unbelievable, it was possible. The cultivators who came to the Secret Realm with Dong Xi and the others were at most at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. How could they steal the Blessing of the Fire God in front of so many people of the Fire Tribe? But if this person was Su Cheng¡­ There was no problem at all. Su Cheng¡¯s cultivation was unfathomable. Forget about taking away some of the Fire God¡¯s Blessings, he was being merciful that he did not take everything. Dong Xi sent Long Wei away with a few words. When Dong Xi was the only one in the private room, she said in her sea of consciousness, ¡°Big Snake, did you do it?¡± Su Cheng did not have anything to deny. He said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°How can you take so many Blessings from the Fire God?¡± Dong Xi asked with a headache. ¡°Hurry up and return it.¡± Su Chengughed. His voice echoed in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness for a long time. Then, Su Cheng¡¯s figure slowly appeared in the room. Su Cheng swung his tail and sat on the stool beside Dong Xi. ¡°Aren¡¯t you here for the Blessing of the Fire God?¡± Su Cheng asked. ¡°Now you want me to return it?¡± Dong Xi saw a hint of a smile in Su Cheng¡¯s eyes. But at this moment, Dong Xi could not care less about Su Cheng¡¯s observation. She keenly grasped the key point and said, ¡°What?¡± Su Cheng stretched out his hand. In his hand was a dark red crystal, like a setting sun. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng¡¯s face and said, ¡°Deep Sea Extreme Ice?¡± Su Cheng revealed a smile. With a wave of his hand, he threw the crystal to Dong Xi. Dong Xi instinctively caught the Deep Sea Extreme Ice. When she held it in her hand, she felt a bone-chilling sensation, as if he was holding a piece of ice. Dong Xi was even more certain that this was the Deep Sea Extreme Ice. At first, Dong Xi wanted to buy it from the locals, but now that Su Cheng had stolen so much, how could Dong Xi still dare to meet the Fire Tribe¡¯s Patriarch? ¡°You¡¯ve taken so much, can you finish it?¡± Dong Xi frowned and said. ¡°I can still talk to the Fire Tribe and see if I can buy them.¡± ¡°Little girl, have you forgotten that I¡¯m a snake?¡± Su Cheng asked after a moment of silence. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with snakes?¡± Dong Xi asked instinctively. ¡°Which snake did you see living in theva?¡± asked Su Cheng. When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately understood. Su Cheng was a snake that liked damp areas. Now that he was in a ce with rich fire spiritual energy, he was naturally very ufortable. The Deep Sea Extreme Ice of the Fire Tribe had a huge attraction to Su Cheng at this time. ¡°My main body is very big, so I consume a lot of energy.¡± As he spoke, Su Cheng nced at the Deep Sea Extreme Ice in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Su Cheng said, ¡°The one in your hand is thest piece.¡± Dong Xi, ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, there was another knock on the door from outside. Then, Long Wei barged in. Su Cheng was clearly sitting at the side, but Long Wei seemed to not see him. Long Wei panted heavily and said, ¡°Fellow cultivator, something bad has happened. The Fire Tribe Patriarch said that there are intruders hiding among their people. In order to find these people, the Patriarch has decided to take a bath together.¡± Dong Xi immediately frowned. The Fire Tribe people bathed inva. Dong Xi¡¯s body could not withstand it at all. How could the others? Even if they had treasures to protect themselves, it was impossible for everyone to have them. Long Wei thought that Dong Xi did not know the habits of the Fire Tribe, so he told Dong Xi how the Fire Tribe bathed. Dong Xi could only quietlymunicate with Su Cheng in her sea of consciousness. ¡°I think you don¡¯t want to see anyone get implicated. What should we do now?¡± Dong Xi asked in her sea of consciousness. Chapter 468 - 468 Bathing 468 Bathing Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, ¡°You can hide here.¡± Dong Xi did not suspect Su Cheng. Since Su Cheng had asked Dong Xi to stay here, he must have a way. Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to the group. [If you don¡¯t want to bathe with the Fire Tribe,e to the innermost room on the second floor of the teahouse.] Those who were free saw this message and immediately started chatting in the group. [What? We¡¯re even showering together?] [Aren¡¯t you shy with so many people around?] [What kind of race is the Fire Tribe? Is the Fire Fairy good-looking?] ¡­ Dong Xi did not reply to the message. After a while, she continued to send the same message. About an hourter, two people came over, both of them blushing. Dong Xi estimated thaest there were only these few fish that escaped the. ¡°Fellow Daoist, what should we do now? We have to think of a way to save them. My Senior Brother has been captured.¡± ¡°My wife and Senior Brother have also been captured.¡± Dong Xi sighed. He had to save Senior Brother Tie Zhu. Dong Xi had brought him here, so she could not just leave him be. As for Shangguan Yun¡¯er, Dong Xi had also promised Shangguan Patriarch that they would do their best to rescue her. ¡°How are we going to save them?¡± asked Long Wei. ¡°Even if we try our best to save them, we¡¯re like trapped beasts here. We can¡¯t escape, and we¡¯ll be caught sooner orter.¡± Everyone was silent. They all knew that time waited for no one, but they were helpless. At this moment, Su Cheng¡¯s voice sounded in Dong Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. Su Cheng said, ¡°Tell everyone to wait here. You and I will go see the Fire Tribe Patriarch.¡± Dong Xi smiled. Since Su Cheng had agreed to take care of it, there was still a way. Dong Xi told everyone to wait here and not to go out. As long as these few people did not go out, no one would be able to find them. The few of them agreed. Dong Xi walked out and turned around to find that the room was empty. Dong Xi did not know if Su Cheng was using some kind of camouge spell or some other spell, but it was good that it worked. After leaving the house, Su Cheng transformed into his human form. However, it was still slightly different from before. The huge snake tail had turned into legs, and it was almost two meters tall. Dong Xi followed beside Su Cheng like a child. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng¡¯s slender legs and found that Su Cheng walked very steadily without any signs of limping. Dong Xi was suspicious in her heart. Could it be that it was an illusion in the past? Dong Xi remembered what Su Cheng had said before. She said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that snakes don¡¯t have legs?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just an illusion,¡± Su Cheng said as he walked. Dong Xi jogged after him. Dong Xi said, ¡°Your illusion is very brilliant.¡± His long legs were really good, and he walked so fast that even Dong Xi could not keep up. The Fire Tribe Patriarch was talking to a member of the Fire Tribe in a room when a powerful pressure pressed down from all directions. The Fire Tribe Patriarch was sweating, but because his body temperature was very high, his sweat instantly evaporated into gas, and sizzling sounds came from the room. ¡°Where did this experte from?¡± The Fire Tribe Patriarch gritted his teeth. ¡°Why don¡¯t youe out and meet me?¡± Su Cheng walked in with Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at the tall ck figure in front of him and then at the fearful look on the Fire Tribe Patriarch¡¯s face. Dong Xi suddenly felt that she had yed the role of a dog taking advantage of others¡¯ power very well. Thinking of this, Dong Xi was no longer nervous. Although Dong Xi did not know how the Big Snake would negotiate with the Fire Tribe¡¯s Patriarch, since they were at the negotiation table, the stronger one would have more say. And now, Dong Xi and the Big Snake were the stronger ones. Su Cheng withdrew his pressure, and the Fire Tribe Patriarch immediately rxed. He said, ¡°May I know where Senior came from? Why did youe to my small Fire Tribe?¡± Su Cheng tidied his sleeves and sat down on a stool at the side. Su Cheng was no longer afraid of such high temperatures after he had refined more than half of the Fire God¡¯s Blessing. ¡°I heard that you captured my subordinate?¡± Su Cheng asked. The Fire Tribe Patriarch was stunned for a moment before he understood. He said, ¡°Are you an outsider?¡± Su Cheng did not exin. The Fire Tribe Patriarch continued, ¡°I see. No wonder your cultivation is so high¡­¡± ¡°Release my subordinates, or else I might do something when I¡¯m angry.¡± The threat in his words was very strong. The Fire Tribe Patriarch smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Your spiritual energy is strong, so it¡¯s normal for you to do anything. But to us, it¡¯s just a matter of whether we die early orte.¡± Su Cheng¡¯s eyes were a little strange. Dong Xi was anxious when she heard this. Dong Xi said, ¡°Why do you need to die? As long as we let our people go, you won¡¯t die.¡± Chapter 469 - 469 The Earth Dragon Will Flip 469 The Earth Dragon Will Flip ¡°Come with me,¡± the Fire Tribe Patriarch sighed. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng and saw that he was not moving at all. Dong Xi frowned. Her strong curiosity made him pull Su Cheng¡¯s arm and follow behind the Fire Tribe Patriarch. Su Cheng was pulled by Dong Xi, so he naturally looked at Dong Xi¡¯s hand. He was slightly stunned, and Su Cheng followed suit. The Fire Tribe Patriarch brought the two of them to the inner room and stood in front of the wall. The Fire Tribe Patriarch¡¯s walking stick was made of some unknown material. He tapped lightly on it, and the fire spread out along the walking stick. When the wall was covered with fires, the Fire Tribe Patriarch put away his walking stick. At this moment, the wall suddenly disappeared, andva appeared in front of everyone. Dong Xi instantly sucked in a breath of cold air, faintly suspecting that they had already reached the core of the earth. The Fire Tribe Patriarch looked at theva in front of him and said, ¡°This is theva under the volcano. Before long, the earth dragon will flip and the volcano will copse.¡± When people said that an earth dragon is flipping, it meant that there is an earthquake. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°The earth dragon will flip? How do you know what will happen in the future?¡± Dong Xi had just finished speaking when Su Cheng, who was at the side, said indifferently, ¡°Prophet?¡± The Fire Tribe Patriarch looked at Su Cheng with a gratified expression. He said, ¡°You¡¯re really knowledgeable. As expected of a Senior, you actually know my identity.¡± Dong Xi was very curious about the identity of the Prophet. What did the Prophet know? How did he know? How was it different from that fortune-teller? Also, was the Prophet¡¯s prediction of the future 100 percent urate? Even if she had a stomach full of questions, Dong Xi knew that she could not say anything now. She could only endure it and slowly ask the Big Snake when she returned. ¡°Since you know that staying here will result in such an oue, why didn¡¯t you leave?¡± Dong Xi asked. Dong Xi guessed that perhaps the Fire Tribe wanted Su Cheng to do something. ¡°If I could leave, I would have taken everyone away long ago,¡± said the Fire Tribe Patriarch. The Fire Tribe Patriarch pointed at theva and said, ¡°The Teleportation Formation is under theva.¡± Upon hearing this, Dong Xi said in confusion, ¡°If you can bathe inva, why can¡¯t you go over?¡± ¡°This old man has made a lot of preparations to bring everyone away,¡± the Fire Tribe Patriarch said. ¡°The Fire God¡¯s Blessing is only to increase everyone¡¯s tolerance towards the fire element. However, theva is extremely deep. We don¡¯t even know where the Teleportation Formation is. If we continue to act rashly, we might not be able to withstand it before we find it.¡± Dong Xi was even more confused when she heard this. From what the Fire Tribe Patriarch said, it meant that the ancestor of the Fire Tribe had harmed his descendants. If the Teleportation Formation was ced in theva, who could pass through? After a while, the Fire Tribe Patriarch exined to the two of them. He said, ¡°When the Fire Tribe first arrived here, they brought a lot of resources and were very strong. However, as time passed, the treasures they brought were slowly used up. The cultivation of the people reached a bottleneck overnight. No matter how much they cultivated, they couldn¡¯t make any progress. The reason why they ced the Teleportation Array so deep was to prevent the younger generation from leaving as they pleased and to defend against external enemies. No one expected it to be like this. As the ancestors with high cultivation passed away one by one, we Juniors still can¡¯t go up in cultivation¡­¡± When Dong Xi heard these words, she slowly understood. ¡°So, you want me to take you out?¡± Su Cheng asked. The Fire Tribe Patriarch¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately said, ¡°If Senior can take us out, my Fire Tribe is willing to pay any price.¡± Su Cheng thought for a moment and said,¡± It¡¯s not impossible. Let my subordinates first.¡± The Fire Tribe Patriarch transmitted his voice, asking his nsmen to let them go. Su Cheng suggested that the Fire Tribe Patriarch prepare a room for them and help them escape in three days. When only Su Cheng and Dong Xi were left in the room, Dong Xi whispered, ¡°Big Snake, are you sure you can leave this ce? Theva was bottomless¡­ Don¡¯t you need to go down and take a look?¡± Su Cheng shook his head and waved his hand. He took out ab and ced it in Dong Xi¡¯s hand. Su Cheng said, ¡°Comb my hair.¡± Dong Xi was forced to ept. The wood spiritual energy was attached to theb, and every time hebed it, Su Cheng enjoyed it. Dong Xi saw Su Cheng squinting his eyes and enjoying himself. Dong Xi wanted to pluck a few strands of hair off his head. However, when she saw Su Cheng¡¯s beautiful hair, she could not bring herself to do it. Dong Xi said whilebing his hair, ¡°Big Snake, are you really not going to take a look?¡± Dong Xi knew that the snake¡¯s cultivation was strong, but she still felt that it was a little too much to agree to such a thing! Chapter 470 - 470 Will You Turn Bald? 470 Will You Turn Bald? Su Cheng ignored Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng¡¯s hair and could not help but say, ¡°Will you be bald if you go into theva?¡± Dong Xi thought of Su Cheng¡¯s bald head and inexplicably felt that he was quite good-looking. Dong Xi came back to her senses and saw Su Cheng¡¯s deep eyes. Dong Xi was stunned. Su Cheng said, ¡°No.¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you want to go or not,¡± Dong Xi snorted and said. ¡°I¡¯ll see how you¡¯ll exin yourself to the Fire Tribe when you can¡¯t get out.¡± Seeing that the three-day promise was about to arrive, Dong Xi was very anxious. However, looking at Su Cheng¡¯s confident appearance, she did not know if Su Cheng was really good or just showing off. In the end, it was the appointed day. Early in the morning, the Fire Tribe Patriarch brought the Fire Tribe members over. ¡°Please help us, Senior,¡± said the Fire Tribe Patriarch. Su Cheng nodded and said, ¡°Since I¡¯ve agreed, I¡¯ll naturally save them. Tell those who have no business to stay away. If they¡¯re identally injured by me, I won¡¯t care.¡± Seeing that Su Cheng did not go back on his word, the Fire Tribe Patriarch was very happy. He immediately ordered the others to go to the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was the safest ce for the Fire Tribe. It was not the ce where the Deep Sea Extreme Ice was hidden. Tie Zhu, Shangguan Yun¡¯er, and the others were also brought in by the Fire Tribe. The originally bustling street was now empty. Su Cheng walked down the street with Dong Xi and the Fire Tribe Patriarch. Su Cheng nced at the surrounding buildings and finally looked at the Fire Tribe Patriarch. Su Cheng said, ¡°You hide well too.¡± As for Dong Xi, Su Cheng did not say anything. When Dong Xi was thinking about where to hide, Su Cheng directly carried Dong Xi and let her sit on his shoulder. Then, Su Cheng turned into a ck shadow and jumped into the sky at a terrifying speed. Crack!!! A loud cracking sound rang out, but Dong Xi did not feel the impact at all. As it turned out, at the moment of the explosion, a protective shield had enveloped Dong Xi. Su Cheng stood in the sky. The strong wind from the explosion blew past. The restriction that originally isted the outside world was now like a ss cover, shattering bit by bit¡­ Dong Xi admitted that she was wrong. She should not have doubted the Big Snake. Dong Xi had thought of countless possibilities. She had thought that the snake would escort the Fire Tribe members to the Teleportation Formation. She had also thought that the Big Snake would fish out the Teleportation Formation or draw a new Teleportation Formation. She had even thought that the snake would kill the Fire Tribe members to silence them. However, she did not expect the snake to break through the restriction so easily and brutally. No, Dong Xi should have thought of it long ago. Back then in the Beast Trainer Sect, that was what the Big Snake had done. Su Cheng broke the restriction and turned into a small snake that coiled around Dong Xi¡¯s arm. All of this happened so suddenly that Dong Xi fell down without any preparation. Dong Xi reacted quickly. She took out a flying magical tool and sat on it. Dong Xiined in her heart. However, thinking that Su Cheng might have exhausted his spiritual energy, Dong Xi forgave the Big Snake. ¡°All of you,e out,¡± Dong Xi shouted. Her voice spread throughout the entire volcano. The members of the Fire Tribe came out one after another. All they saw was a thin figure. The Fire Tribe Patriarch looked at Dong Xi with aplicated expression. He then looked at the sky and suddenly realized something. He started crying. ¡°This¡­¡± The Fire Tribe Patriarch said excitedly. ¡°The restriction that has troubled us for tens of thousands of years is gone. We can go out now!¡± Hearing this, the Fire Tribe members cheered excitedly. Dong Xi and the others were also infected by this joy, and there was a sincere smile on their faces. Now that the restriction was gone, everyone could leave. He hoped that this trip would be a real Secret Realm and that there would no longer be such a strange small space. The Fire Tribe Patriarch gave them one day to pack up and leave tomorrow. Dong Xi and the others were treated as honored guests by the Fire Tribe, and they prepared arge table of delicacies. At dawn the next day, everyone gathered in the Fire Tribe¡¯s ancestral hall. Dong Xi wanted to meet up with herpanions, but she was stopped by the Fire Tribe Patriarch. The Fire Tribe Patriarch said, ¡°Little Friend.¡± Dong Xi looked over in confusion and saw the Fire Tribe Patriarch smiling as he passed a box to Dong Xi. ¡°We don¡¯t have much use for this anymore,¡± the Fire Tribe Patriarch said. ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you. It¡¯s fate that we met. When you leave this ce in the future, it¡¯ll be good if you think of us.¡± Dong Xi held the box and looked at the Fire Tribe Patriarch¡¯s departing appearance. She felt a little puzzled. Dong Xi pondered for a moment, but she could not figure out anything. However, she still kept the box and followed behind the Fire Tribe Patriarch. Dong Xi saw the people of the Fire Tribe bid farewell to their ancestors and flew out one by one under the leadership of the Patriarch. When everyone went out and looked at the mountains and rivers outside, the Fire Tribe members cried tears of joy. Chapter 471 - 471 The True Meaning of Death 471 The True Meaning of Death The people of the Fire Tribe looked at the outside world and said excitedly. ¡°I¡¯m finally out. I can finally see the outside world!¡± ¡°If possible, I still want to go back to my hometown to take a look.¡± ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a kind of fiery red flower in my hometown that¡¯s especially beautiful.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi wanted to ask where the Fire Tribe¡¯s hometown was and if they wanted to go together. However, as soon as Dong Xi turned around, she saw that everyone behind her was like a summer halo, disappearing with a wave of her hand. Dong Xi was stunned. Her eyes were a little wet. They were all fine just now. Why¡­ Did they have to be like this? It was as if a movie hade to an end. The red faces of the Fire Tribe members were still filled with excitement. Slowly, it began to blur. The Patriarch seemed to have known everything. He smiled at Dong Xi and waved his hand, as if telling Dong Xi to continue forward. When the Fire Tribe disappeared, only Dong Xi and the others were left on the originally lively mountain. Long Wei was the first to say, ¡°Umm¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡± Everyone shook their heads. No one understood. Yu Wei asked again, ¡°Are the people of the Fire Tribe still alive?¡± ¡°They are,¡± replied Dong Xi. A person would die three times in their life. The first time was when there were no signs of life and one died from a biological standpoint. The second time was a funeral. Family and friends came to attend and reminisce about the person¡¯s past. This was the death of society. The third time, no one would remember this person anymore. That would be the real death. This was probably what the Fire Tribe Patriarch meant when he gave the box to Dong Xi. The chief of the Fire Tribe tried his best to leave behind traces of the Fire Tribe from tens of thousands of years ago. Long Wei said, ¡°That really scared me. It¡¯s fine as long as they¡¯re alive. I saw that they seemed to be projections just now. Who knows? They might be living in some corner right now!¡± The originally heavy atmosphere instantly rxed a lot after hearing Long Wei¡¯s words. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go down and see if there¡¯s still a flood and if the volcano will erupt.¡± When everyone heard this, they allughed. Only Yu Wei and a few others did not know what Dong Xi and the others wereughing about. The snow on the volcano had already melted. After going down the mountain, he realized that the journey was not quite the same as he remembered. Even the terrain and everything were different from what he remembered. The only thing that had not changed¡­ was thatke. Dong Xi stood by theke, looking at the small vige by theke, the fishing boats on theke, and the girls singing songs. Not only was Dong Xi silent, Long Wei and the others were the same. Thiske had only been dug a few days ago, and it had already grown such a big willow tree! On the contrary, Yu Wei and the others saw the clearke water and jumped in excitedly. Yu Wei said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s so great to finallye down here! It¡¯s been too hot in the Fire Tribe these past few days. My skin¡¯s almost cooked. It¡¯s finally normal now.¡± Tie Zhu and the others also followed into the water. Shangguan Yun¡¯er apanied Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er and said, ¡°Madam, shall we go greet the locals?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nodded. At this point, no matter what Dong Xi said, Shangguan Yun¡¯er would agree. The two of them entered the vige. Three women were working. When they saw someoneing, they were very surprised. One of the younger women said, ¡°A guest has arrived!¡± Only then did the other two raise their heads to look at Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun¡¯er. Seeing that it was indeed a stranger, the three of them stood up. Dong Xi walked over and maintained a polite distance. Dong Xi said, ¡°Sisters, my wife and mypanion passed by this ce and are in need of directions, so we wanted to ask for directions.¡± When the three of them heard this, they immediatelyughed. The young woman said, ¡°Where do you want to go?¡± Dong Xi did not know where to go. After thinking for a moment, she said, ¡°Do you know where the nearest city is?¡± The three father and daughterughed. A slightly older woman pointed at the gap between the two mountains and said, ¡°Go out from there and head east. After crossing a mountain, you will see the city.¡± After Dong Xi expressed her gratitude, she brought Shangguan Yun¡¯er back to thekeside to look for Tie Zhu and the others. Tie Zhu and the others were all shirtless in theke. Shangguan Yun¡¯er turned her head in embarrassment. Dong Xi did not even bother to look at them. She took out the map drawn by the Shangguan Patriarch before she came in from her storage ring. Although the drawing was a little simple, at least the direction was clear. Only then did Dong Xi discover in astonishment that the ce where Shangguan Patriarch had entered back then was theke that Dong Xi had dug out with her men? Shangguan Patriarch entered the Secret Realm around 1,000 years ago. 1,000 years ago¡­ Dong Xi was not even in this world yet. Dong Xi guessed that the spacetime here was chaotic. Chapter 472 - 472 Was It in the Same Time Period 472 Was It in the Same Time Period Was theke that Dong Xi was currently in the same time period as theke that Shangguan Patriarch was in? Dong Xi put away the map. She memorized everything drawn on the map and then called the people who were still in theke up. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± said Dong Xi. Two of them were a little unhappy when they heard this. However, these people thought that Dong Xi was the one who had broken the restriction of the Fire Tribe. Even if they were unhappy, they did not dare to say anything. One of them whispered, ¡°We¡¯ve only been in the water for a while. Why are you leaving so quickly?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ve been in the Fire Tribe for so long. We¡¯re just rxing.¡± After Dong Xi heard this, she looked at the two of them. When they saw her looking over, they immediately shut their mouths. ¡°Now that we¡¯ve left the Fire Tribe, it¡¯s time for us to part ways,¡± said Dong Xi. Dong Xi knew what she was capable of, so she could not care less about those who had no rtionship with her. Yu Wei was hired by Dong Xi and had already signed a contract. Dong Xi did not know the rest of the people. What if they backstabbed her at the critical moment? Those who thought Dong Xi was strong and wanted to follow her to pick up the loot did not expect to be chased away so quickly. They immediately started talking. ¡°Fellow Daoist, we¡¯re all outsiders. We need to band together to deal with the natives here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Fellow Daoist. We¡¯ll listen to you. We¡¯ll do whatever you say.¡± Some people even berated the two people who had spoken earlier. ¡°You two idiots, hurry up and apologize!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi immediately stopped everyone. She said, ¡°Stop it. Actually, it¡¯s not your fault. It¡¯s my problem¡­ I¡¯ve been in the mountains for a long time. I¡¯m afraid of society. When there are too many people, I¡¯m ufortable. I¡¯m even more ufortable talking to strangers¡­¡± When the others heard this, they were stunned. Shangguan Yun¡¯er recalled the way Dong Xi and the vigers asked for directions, but she did not feel ufortable at all! Since Dong Xi had already said that, the others could not be thick-skinned and continue to follow. They could only leave one after another. Seeing that he had already left, Dong Xi turned to look at Tie Zhu and said, ¡°Senior Brother, where do you want to go?¡± Tie Zhu waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me. I¡¯m scared too.¡± Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi looked at Tie Zhu¡¯s serious face and could not help butugh. She said speechlessly, ¡°I didn¡¯t do that to get rid of the others.¡± Tie Zhu smiled and said, ¡°I can remember. The little monk of Thunder Sound Temple and you are like brothers. If you are afraid, I¡¯m afraid there are no normal people in this world.¡± Dong Xi did not mind Tie Zhu¡¯s teasing and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t forget what we¡¯re here for.¡± When Dong Xi said this, everyone¡¯s expression immediately turned serious. That¡¯s right, everyone came in to look for opportunities and treasures. It had been almost ten days since they came, but they had found nothing¡­ Therefore, it was time to hurry up. Dong Xi waved her hand and took out a flying magic tool. When everyone saw Dong Xi take out a magic tool, they all realized that they could use spiritual power now. ¡°You can use spiritual power now?¡± asked Long Wei. ¡°Are we out of the restricted area?¡± Cui Liu looked at the spiritual energy in his hand and said happily, ¡°We can really use it now! We should be already out.¡± Cui Liu was in thete Foundation Establishment stage. If he could use spiritual power, he would be fine in an instant. ¡°It seems like there shouldn¡¯t be any problems for the time being. Let¡¯s go to the city first.¡± Where there were many people, there would be many disputes, but there would also be a lot of news. It was much better than everyone being aimless here. Not long after everyone sat on their flying magic tools and left, the small fishing vige by theke, the vige women, and the fishing boats instantly disappeared. At this moment, Dong Xi heard Songsong¡¯s cry in her mind. Dong Xi was stunned. Songsong rarely acted like this. Could it be that Da Niu was stirring up trouble again? Dong Xi said worriedly in her mind, ¡°Songsong, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°There are illusions everywhere here, so be careful,¡± Songsong said. Dong Xi was very surprised this time. She thought that aftering out of so many small worlds, she had finally arrived at the Secret Realm. She did not expect Songsong to say that this ce was filled with illusions. Furthermore, Dong Xi did not even notice these illusions. The illusions were so strong? ¡°Thiske and the mountain are all illusions?¡± Dong Xi asked. ¡°Not all of them. I don¡¯t understand. Some of them are true, and some are fake,¡± said Songsong. It was both real and fake, and it was even more confusing. After a moment, Songsong said again, ¡°Little Xi, you have to be careful. These illusions are very powerful. If you get lost in here, you won¡¯t be able to get out.¡± Chapter 473 - 473 A Ghost? 473 A Ghost? Since Songsong had warned Dong Xi, she would naturally be more careful. ¡°Songsong, I understand. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Dong Xi said. Not only did Dong Xi pay attention to it, but she also told Tie Zhu about the illusion. Finally, they arrived at the city on the map. After flying for a whole day, they understood that everything in the loop was just a miniature version. This city was much bigger than the city in the small world that Dong Xi and the others hade from. The people who entered the city had long lines to pay the spirit stones to enter the city. Dong Xi looked over and saw a few people holding umbres. No, they were not human either¡­ These few did not have any shadows or legs. They seemed to be floating on the ground. Were these people ghosts? Could it be an illusion? Dong Xi fell into deep thought. There was no one here who could help Dong Xi resolve her doubts. Everyone paid the spirit stones and entered the city. After entering the city, they looked around aimlessly. Only Dong Xi walked forward with a clear goal. She came to the front of the few people holding umbres. Dong Xi cupped his fists and said, ¡°Fellow Daoists, please slow down.¡± When they heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they were also very puzzled. Since ancient times, humans and ghosts had different paths, so ghosts rarelymunicated with humans. They turned around and saw Dong Xi¡¯s warm smile. One of the schrs said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, is there something you need?¡± Dong Xi shook his head and said embarrassedly, ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s just¡­ I wonder if you guys came from the Ghost Realm?¡± Schr looked at hispanion and nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, we dide from the Ghost Realm.¡± Dong Xi scratched her head clumsily, a simple smile on her face. No matter how one looked at it, she looked silly. Dong Xi said, ¡°I have a Senior Sister who used to be very good to me. Later, something unexpected happened and she became a ghost cultivator. Since then, I haven¡¯t had the chance to see her. Now that I have seen you guys, I get a feeling of familiarity, so I want toe and greet you.¡± The guard on the faces of the schr and the others rxed a little. The schr said, ¡°What is your Senior Sister¡¯s name? When I returnter, I¡¯ll convey your longing to her if I see her.¡± ¡°Ying Die,¡± said Dong Xi with a smile. Schr and the others were slightly stunned. Schr said, ¡°Adept Ying Die is your Senior Sister? Tell me, when did she be a ghost?¡± ¡°It should be two years ago,¡± Dong Xi thought for a moment and said. ¡°That¡¯s right, Fellow Daoist. I wonder if you have a token?¡± the schr said. ¡°When we get back, we will definitely help you hand it over to Adept Ying Die.¡± ¡­ Dong Xi gave them a wooden sword. There were many such swords in the Sword Sect, so it was not rare. In just a few short sentences, the rtionship between Dong Xi and the ghost cultivators had be much closer. Dong Xi also knew that this schr was called Mu Ru. Mu Ru coughed lightly and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, can you temporarily put away the fire spiritual energy on your body? We have a Yin cold body¡­¡± Upon hearing Mu Ru¡¯s words, Dong Xi instantly understood and immediately withdrew her Fire spiritual Qi. In the past few days, it had be a habit for her to use fire spiritual energy outside. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. It was my negligence,¡± Dong Xi immediately said. Shangguan Yun¡¯er, Tie Zhu, and the others saw Dong Xi talking to a few people who were holding umbres and had no legs. Tie Zhu and the others were very worried. ¡°Junior Brother told us to be careful of the illusion,¡± Tie Zhu said. ¡°I think these people are more like the people in the illusion.¡± Long Wei said, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be. They are most likely¡­ ghost cultivators.¡± Previously, when Dong Xi chased them away, Long Wei had shamelessly expressed that everyone had been a small team since they entered the Secret Realm, so they had advanced and retreated together. She had shamelessly brought Qing Niao with her to stay by everyone¡¯s side. ¡°What?¡± the others asked in surprise. ¡°Ghost cultivator?¡± Everyone¡¯s expression suddenly became unnatural. Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s face turned even paler. Long Wei said, ¡°That¡¯s right. I heard my father say that after some cultivators die, their divine souls will not be destroyed by chance, and they will be ghost cultivators. They can continue to cultivate¡­ Every ghost cultivator would hold an umbre, probably because they were afraid of the sun.¡± Of course, what made Long Wei the most certain was that these people were emitting a faint Yin Qi. These people originally had Yin cold bodies, but Long Wei had a water spirit root, and he was born in Yin years, Yin months, and Yin days¡­It was also what these ghosts liked the most. Long Wei touched his chest and sensed the protective mirror in his clothes. Long Wei immediately felt a sense of security. If he had known this would happen, he would have listened to the old man and note out to show off. Seeing Dong Xi talking andughing with those ghost cultivators, she could not possibly be selling Long Wei to them, right? Dong Xi and Mu Ru traded their spirit breath, and Dong Xi returned to the crowd. After Dong Xi¡¯s conversation, Dong Xi said, ¡°Besides our group, this Secret Realm has an entrance to other worlds. Everyone, be careful.¡± Chapter 474 - 474 All the Treasures Will Come Later 474 All the Treasures Will Come Later Since ghost cultivators could enter this ce, Dong Xi guessed that they coulde from both the Beast Realm and the Demon Realm. With the exnation from Long Wei just now, everyone frowned. Cui Liu crossed his arms and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen any treasures since I came in. There are so many opponents. It¡¯s not interesting at all.¡± Tie Zhu smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. From what we¡¯ve seen before, we can see that this Secret Realm is not an ordinary Secret Realm. The owner of the Secret Realm should be a mighty figure with a very high cultivation base. Perhaps, the treasures willeter.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Where are we going next?¡± Cui Liu nodded. Dong Xi was also prepared. Dong Xi said, ¡°Let¡¯s find a ce to stay first. I want to refine pills.¡± Everyone said in surprise, ¡°What? You want to¡­ Refine pills?¡± Only Tie Zhu was not surprised at all, because he had been surprised a long time ago. Dong Xi shrugged and said helplessly,¡± I don¡¯t know how long I¡¯ve been here. You people don¡¯t even bring Fasting Pills when youe out. Now that it¡¯s safe, if I don¡¯t refine more, I¡¯ll have to starve in the future!¡± The Fasting Pill was a third-grade pill, so Dong Xi was at least a third-grade alchemist. This really made them want to curry favor with her. Dong Xi found a house and took out her pill furnace. Dong Xi could have stopped borrowing the Earth Fire long ago, but the only drawback was that she could not keep up with the spiritual energy. Of course, Dong Xi did not think about refining too many pills. Five or six bottles of pills should be enough. Everyone stayed in the inn and saw that Dong Xi had note out for three days. Long Wei leaned against the window and looked at the neighboring room. Not long after, Shangguan Yun¡¯er also opened the window to see if Dong Xi hade out of seclusion. Long Wei smiled and said, ¡°You two are really polite. You even want to sleep in separate rooms. Fellow Daoist Dong is good in every way, but he doesn¡¯t touch his wife. With such a beautiful wife, why don¡¯t you enjoy yourselves?¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er frowned and said, ¡°None of your business!¡± Long Wei was not angry. He said, ¡°It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me. I¡¯m the most despicable one. Don¡¯t tell Fellow Daoist Dong.¡± After all, Long Wei wanted to be friends with Dong Xi. No, more than friends. They had to be apprenticed to a master. Only a master-disciple rtionship couldst. Coincidentally, Dong Xi opened the door at this time. Hearing Long Wei¡¯s words, she said, ¡°What? Don¡¯t tell me what?¡± Long Wei coughed lightly and immediately said, ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just praising you.¡± Shangguan Yun¡¯er nced at Long Wei, but Shangguan Yun¡¯er did not say anything. Tie Zhu walked out and said, ¡°Junior Brother, you¡¯ve finallye out. If you hadn¡¯te out, I would¡¯ve called for you. I heard from others that there will be a temple fair in the north of the city tomorrow afternoon.¡± ¡°Everyone?¡± Dong Xi asked in surprise. ¡°What if I don¡¯t go?¡± Tie Zhu was stunned when he heard this. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Those people didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Tie Zhu came back to his senses. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll see tomorrow,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. She had to go. If she did not follow the setting of the Secret Realm, he would gain nothing in this Secret Realm. Dong Xi did not know what Senior Tie Zhu meant when he said he had to go until noon the next day. It was just noon, and before anyone had time to think about whether they should go or not, the scene changed instantly. She stood in front of a tall temple, which had 81 steps. Dong Xi stood in the crowd and found that she was surrounded by strangers. Dong Xi felt fine, but she could not find Tie Zhu and the others. Perhaps not all of these people were cultivators. There should be natives in the city. Everyone looked at the temple with devout expressions. It was because of this that Dong Xi was able to instantly recognize the locals and outsiders when she looked around. Just as Dong Xi was about to look for Senior Brother Tie Zhu and the others, she heard someone say, ¡°Line up and offer incense.¡± Upon hearing this, Dong Xi and the others were pushed into the queue by the natives. Every time anyone wanted to leave, they would be pushed back by the natives. The native said, ¡°Don¡¯t run around. That¡¯s disrespectful to the gods.¡± Dong Xi did not move. Instead, she took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to Tie Zhu and the others, telling them to line up and meet up after they left. Shangguan Yun¡¯er and the others were not as nervous as before when they found that they could still contact each other using theirmunication jade slips. After all, her cultivation was low, and she was still so passive. Anyone would feel very uneasy. The line slowly moved forward. The people at the back of the line were already losing their patience. A person wanted to leave, but was immediately stopped by the natives. This person was instantly furious. ¡°Can I not offer incense?¡± the man asked. ¡°If you want to line up, then line up. I don¡¯t want to!¡± The native immediately said, ¡°You can¡¯t disrespect the gods!¡± Chapter 475 - 475 Who Dares to Stop Me 475 Who Dares to Stop Me When the man heard the natives say this, he became even more furious. He shouted, ¡°What bullsh*t God, I want to leave, who dare to stop me?!¡± After saying that, this person waved his hand and cast a spell. However, just as it was about to hit the native, the spell instantly disappeared. The natives immediately knelt on the ground and said piously, ¡°God bless us!¡± The cultivator who had just attacked was also illuminated by the light from the temple and instantly disappeared. When Dong Xi saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat. Even if the cultivators who came here were not very high in cultivation, they had to be at least Nascent Soul cultivators to kill someone like this. Just a beam of light was already so powerful. Who were these natives worshipping? Could he be the owner of this Secret Realm? Dong Xi pondered as she followed the group. The first thing they saw upon entering the temple was the huge incense burner. Behind the incense burner was a misty mist. It was impossible to see what was behind it. One could only see the appearance of some eaves. A native stepped forward and kowtowed three times and nine times before offering an incense stick. The misty smoke could not hide the determination in the eyes of the natives. The natives mumbled something, but no matter how hard Dong Xi tried, she could not hear what the natives said clearly. Soon, they arrived at Dong Xi. Dong Xi imitated the actions of the aborigines and began to burn incense. However, just as the incense stick was inserted into the incense burner, the originally hazy smoke suddenly rose into the blue clouds, emitting a faint golden light. Before Dong Xi could react, the surrounding aborigines immediately went forward and kowtowed to Dong Xi. The natives shouted, ¡°Holy Child!¡± Dong Xi, ¡°??¡± What was going on? Dong Xi did not even know who they were worshiping here, but she suddenly became the Holy Child? Dong Xi was invited into the pce. She discovered that everyone was paying their respects to a middle-aged man holding an incense burner. Dong Xi looked at the statue. The strangest thing was that she could not remember it even though she had seen it. It was as if this memory did not exist at all. A ck-robed man wearing a mask bowed respectfully. Dong Xi imitated the native and said excitedly, ¡°I¡¯m really the Holy Child? Heavens! How could such a good thing fall into my hands? I wonder what the Holy Child wants to do? I¡¯m willing to serve the Gods.¡± When the ck-robed man heard this, he looked at Dong Xi in surprise. Dong Xi even heard the man in ck whisper, ¡°That¡¯s not right. ording to the divine decree of the Gods, the Holy Child is an outsider!¡± The man in ck did not understand at all, but the incense was indeed like a divine order. It suddenly soared into the sky, and there was also a golden light. When Dong Xi heard these words, a cunning look shed across her eyes. ¡°Holy Son, please go to the back and wait for the ceremony to begin,¡± said the ck-robed man. Dong Xi followed behind the man. This hall was indeed very simr to the Eastern Continent¡¯s style. It was different from the Void Sea. It seemed that this God was from the Eastern Continent! However, she did not know if this God was really capable or if he was just fooling people¡­ After the attendant left, Dong Xi was the only one left in the temple. Dong Xi looked at the back hall, which was much smaller than the front hall. There was still a veryrge statue. After thinking for a moment, Dong Xi went forward and knelt on the praying mat. It was still the same as before. It was not a problem to be respectful to a senior. Outside the hall, the ck-clothed man also started to ponder as he watched Dong Xi kneeling before the statue. This person¡­ Perhaps she was a native. At this moment, Dong Xi, who was kneeling, started to think wildly. She thought about how the believers outside were so fanatical. Perhaps their wishes woulde true? Should Dong Xi also try? At the thought of this, Dong Xi closed her eyes and began to mumble, ¡°Believers are young and short. The Gods let believers grow taller¡­ That¡¯s right, there¡¯s still Second Senior Brother¡¯s business. It¡¯ll get better and better. I hope Second Senior Brother can find the person he¡¯s looking for soon. There¡¯s also Eldest Senior Brother. I hope Eldest Senior Brother can pay off his debts as soon as possible.¡± It was unknown how long Dong Xi had been muttering, but she had already blurted out all the people and things that she could think of. At this moment, someone walked in from outside. The person who came in said, ¡°Holy Child, the messenger invites you to participate in the ceremony.¡± Dong Xi nodded, stood up, and followed him to the square. Then, they watched in confusion as the ck-robed man inserted three incense sticks as thick as his arms into the incense burner. After muttering for a long time, an invisible door finally appeared in front of everyone. Dong Xi looked at everything. Although she was calm on the surface, she was already shocked on the inside. Good heavens, there¡¯s a door here. Could this be the entrance to the Secret Realm? Chapter 476 - 476 The Gods Will Bless You 476 The Gods Will Bless You Dong Xi was still thinking about something when hermunication jade slip fluctuated. However, at this time, Dong Xi was using the identity of a native. Of course, she could not use something that would expose her identity. As the man in ck chanted, the door became even more solid. The man in ck looked at the attendants, and two attendants went forward to push open the door. Inside the door, smoke swirled around and emitted a red light. The man in ck said, ¡°Go in, believer of God! Go after what you want, and the Gods will bless you.¡± Immediately, some people started to move, but most of them remained kneeling on the spot. As more and more people entered, the others did not dare to dawdle. What if there was really a treasure inside? Wouldn¡¯t it be gone if she went in toote? Dong Xi did not move, because her cultivation technique was circting rapidly. Dong Xi also discovered that almost none of the natives here moved. This was obviously abnormal! Humans would have close and distant rtionships, and there was a saying that fertile water should not flow into other people¡¯s fields. If the Gods really had treasures, why didn¡¯t they give them to their most devout believers? Instead, they let these outsiders enter to rob them? Fortunately, Tie Zhu and the others saw that Dong Xi did not move, so they did not dare to move either. Dong Xi¡¯s cultivation technique slowed down, and the red color inside the door turned golden. At this moment, the natives walked through the door one after another. Dong Xi followed the natives and put her palms together before walking in. Cultivators had extremely strong five senses. Although her eyes were closed, Dong Xi could faintly smell the scent of blood. Dong Xi frowned and walked for a long time. The smell of blood slowly faded until she suddenly felt rxed and opened her eyes. At this moment, behind Dong Xi and the others was a cliff that was ten thousand feet high. No one knew how they had gotten there. No wonder the natives had to close their eyes. If they could see, even if there was a path, ordinary people would not dare to walk! More and more people stopped. In front of them was a vast ocean. No one could tell where the treasure was. Everyone hade from the Void Sea, so they naturally had their own methods to deal with the sea. Dong Xi watched as the aborigines entered the sea, and she followed them into the sea. After walking for a short distance, Dong Xi realized that something was wrong. These people seemed to have¡­ long lost their vitality. Dong Xi immediately stopped and took out the boat that he had prepared earlier. He pulled Tie Zhu and the others up one after another. ¡°We can¡¯t go down now,¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°The bottom of the sea is full of dead bodies.¡± No one liked the feeling of being in the sea. Even Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who had been in the Void Sea since she was young, felt the same. Dong Xi¡¯s fire spiritual energy started to circte, and the clothes on her body dried up very quickly. Only then did Dong Xi look towards the shore. There were almost no more natives who hade in. When Dong Xi thought of how the natives looked as if they were unafraid of death when they entered the sea, a phrase suddenly came to her mind. Sacrifice! But what was going on? When they had just arrived here, Songsong had warned them that there were many illusions here, and they were abination of reality and illusion. If they were not careful, they would easily fall into the illusion. In that case, were those people who jumped into the sea real or fake? Dong Xi frowned. She suddenly felt that after so many years in the cultivation world, she was reallycking in talent and knowledge. Now, she could not even distinguish between reality and illusion. Dong Xi sat cross-legged on the boat and began to sense. What were the real waves like? What was the sea breeze like? The sun by the sea should be very hot. When people started to distrust their eyes, their senses became an important way of judging. Shangguan Yun¡¯er, who was sitting beside Dong Xi, took out a handkerchief and helped Dong Xi wipe away her sweat. Dong Xi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the handkerchief in Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s hand. Natural silk. Shangguan Yun¡¯er loved the shark gauze the most, and she would never use anything other than the shark gauze. At this moment, the scene around Dong Xi began to change. Dong Xi was still kneeling in the rear hall, but the surrounding environment had changed. The originally glorious temple had now decayed, and the surroundings looked like it was in decline. Dong Xi stood up and observed the surroundings. Then, she walked out. The originally lively crowd had disappeared. Even the steps were covered in moss. ¡°Is there anyone here?¡± Dong Xi was stunned. No one said anything. Dong Xi entered the hall once again and discovered that there was an incense stick in front of the statue. Dong Xi pondered for a moment and went forward to light the incense. Dong Xi said, ¡°I only want to get the treasure and leave this ce. May the Gods bless me!¡± The moment the incense was inserted into the incense burner, Dong Xi saw the statue suddenly light up. Dong Xi thought that it was a divine manifestation and quickly looked up. However, what happened next stunned Dong Xi. Umm¡­ How did the face of the statue turn into Dong Xi¡¯s face? Were they trying to tell Dong Xi that it was better to rely on herself than to rely oon others? Chapter 477 - 477 Do We Still Have a Chance of Winning? 477 Do We Still Have a Chance of Winning? Dong Xi sighed softly. Just as she was about to see if there was any other way out, the scene changed again. She watched as the man in ck opened the door while offering incense. This time, there was no red light inside the door. The natives and cultivators all ran inside happily. After entering, there was no fog. Because, this time, everyone appeared directly in the sea. Everyone had a protective barrier that looked like a bubble on their bodies. The only difference was the color. Some of them were white, some were red, some were ck, and only Dong Xi¡¯s was gold. The bubble seemed to carry everyone with it. One unlucky guy hit the reef and the bubble burst. He could not breathe and immediately swam to the surface. When everyone saw this situation, they also realized that these bubbles were the key to the bottom of the sea. Dong Xi immediately wanted to swim into the distance. As soon as Dong Xi swam, the people behind him began to attack each other. The battle seemed to reach a climax in an instant. Countless bubbles burst. After the bubbles burst, these people either used their magic tools to stay in the sea or swam upstream. The number of cultivators in the sea instantly decreased by one-third. Some cultivators reacted and immediately shouted, ¡°Stop fighting. Didn¡¯t you notice that there are only foreign cultivators here? There are no natives. Maybe this is what the natives are trying to achieve. They want us to have internal friction. If we fight like this, do we still have a chance of winning?¡± When everyone heard this, they all stopped. Among the remaining people, at least half of the white bubbles were gone. At this moment, everyone realized that the white bubble seemed to have the weakest defense. As for the defense of the other colors, they could not urately estimate it for a moment. With this knowledge, the cultivator in the white bubble immediately retreated vigntly. Dong Xi was originally at the periphery, and seeing that they could not fight, Dong Xi no longer cared and continued to swim towards the west. The sea was dark, and Dong Xi felt that she was heading west. There were many who chose the west side like Dong Xi. While swimming, Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and called for people in the group. [Have you guys entered into the sea? Where are you guys? Why haven¡¯t I seen any of you?] After Dong Xi sent the message, Tie Zhu looked at the two huge shells on his body and pondered. Themunication jade slip lit up. Tie Zhu took out themunication jade slip and immediately replied. [Junior Brother, I don¡¯t know where I am. There are seaweed everywhere. Also, I¡¯ve turned into a huge shell. I don¡¯t know what this shell is made of, but it¡¯s quite heavy.] Long Wei also replied at this time. [Guess what I became?] When everyone saw Long Wei¡¯s message, they began to guess in the group. [Seaweed?] [No, coral?] ¡­ Long Wei replied after a moment. [You won¡¯t believe it if I tell you. I¡¯ve be¡­ a merman.] Dong Xi thought of Long Wei¡¯s face, coupled with the mermaid tail¡­ She suddenly felt that the mermaids in fairy tales were a little wretched. Shangguan Yun¡¯er also sent a message in the group. [I¡¯ve also be a mermaid.] Dong Xi recalled Shangguan Yun¡¯er¡¯s appearance and immediately came back to her senses. From the looks of it, everyone had a different identity. It was just that he did not know what their functions were. The shell¡¯s defense should be much stronger than the bubble¡¯s, but its movement speed should not be much. The merman¡¯s movement speed was very fast and theirbat strength should not be that great. Dong Xi asked where everyone was and what the surroundings looked like. The final oue was not surprising at all. Everyone was not in the same ce. Dong Xi could only tell everyone to keep in touch and see where they could gather. Dong Xi had just finished sending the message when there was a sudden movement above her head. Dong Xi immediately dodged, only then did she see what was attacking her. It was a huge fish. Its eye alone was almost as tall as Dong Xi. Dong Xi climbed onto the big fish¡¯s fin. Feeling the speed at this time, Dong Xi was very pleased. No wonder the old man said that she was like a fish in water. This was probably the case. Was this speed not much faster than Dong Xi¡¯s own swimming speed? Moreover, it also saved Dong Xi a lot of energy. When she reached the ce, he would be able to snatch the treasures better. Dong Xi was still feeling happy. She lowered her head and saw a few cultivators sitting on the back of the big fish. Dong Xi was speechless. As expected, everyone was smart. Who would have thought of that? Dong Xi smiled and waved at them. She said, ¡°Hello!¡± ¡­ Dong Xi sat on the back of the big fish and used her spiritual energy to firmly absorb it. The few of them looked at each other. No one attacked Dong Xi. Seeing this situation, Dong Xi knew that they could not fight for a while. The spiritual energy in Dong Xi¡¯s palm dispersed. Chapter 478 - 478 Are You the Saint Child? 478 Are You the Saint Child? At this moment, a female cultivator among them said, ¡°You¡¯re the Holy Child?¡± Dong Xi looked at this female cultivator indifferently. Don¡¯t think that just because she had an innocent face, Dong Xi could not tell. This female cultivator asked on purpose. She did not have any good intentions. As expected, as soon as the female cultivator finished speaking, the others looked at Dong Xi warily. ¡°Are you a native?¡± asked one of them. Dong Xi nodded her head calmly and looked at the crowd meaningfully. She said, ¡°So what if I am? Anyway, what we want is different.¡± Dong Xi did not know what these people were looking for, so her words were just to confuse them. Dong Xi promised that as long as she, the Holy Child, said this, all the cultivators who came in would soon know. When these people heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they immediately became interested. One of them said, ¡°Holy Child, what do you know?¡± Dong Xi smiled, smiled, and used her eyes as if she could see through people¡¯s hearts. Her eyes swept across several people, and finally looked at the female cultivator with ill intentions. Dong Xi deliberately stopped for a long time. Only when the female cultivator felt uneasy did Dong Xi retract her gaze. Dong Xi said, ¡°What we want is different from what you want. What you want is treasures, what we need¡­ It¡¯s Power of Will.¡± Dong Xi was spouting nonsense. Combined with her identity as the Holy Child, her words suddenly became more believable. ¡°Holy Child, do you know what treasure we want?¡± a cultivator immediately said. ¡°It is fate that we met. If you can point us in the right direction, we will also help you obtain the Power of Will.¡± Dong Xi shook her head and said, ¡°God has given an oracle. He wants to find the next God. We are the servants of God. We don¡¯t dare to interfere with the matter of God¡¯s sessor. Everything has its own fate¡­¡± After saying that, Dong Xi closed her eyes. Coupled with the golden bubbles on her body, she really looked like a servant of a God. The big fish swam all the way to the west, as if something was attracting the big fish. Dong Xi and the others sessfully reached their destination. The big fish directly crashed into the restriction and knocked everyone off its back. Dong Xi looked over. In front of her was a tnd at the bottom of the sea. This ce did not seem like a ce with treasures at all. Dong Xi raised her hand and touched it. A transparent restriction appeared. This restriction did not iste everything. At least the seawater could flow freely. Just as Dong Xi was thinking of a way to remove the restriction, Dong Xi¡¯s finger actually pierced through it! Dong Xi was extremely shocked. Suddenly, a suction force appeared within the restriction and sucked Dong Xi into it. This made the surrounding people dumbfounded. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Could it be that only the natives could enter?¡± ¡°But there¡¯s nothing inside. So what if we don¡¯t go in?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Not long after, a beautiful crystal pce appeared in the restriction. Dong Xi did not even think about it and directly walked towards the crystal pce. Since the pie was already in her mouth, how could she not eat it? The voice inside spread in all directions. Those who had chosen the wrong direction also came over. Those who had chosen the right direction were even more desperate. Tie Zhu carried the shell on his back and hurried along. What was this heavy shell made of? It was much heavier than the usual ironwood. However, the good thing was that Tie Zhu could still breathe underwater. Tie Zhu even wondered if he could bring this shell back with him when he left. If he could, he could use it to refine his body. This trip would be worthwhile. Considering how heavy the shell was, Tie Zhu¡¯s speed wasmendable. At this moment, Dong Xi was the first to enter the crystal pce. As soon as she entered the door, a huge golden map appeared in front of her. On the map, Dong Xi only knew theke that she had dug out herself, which was thousands of miles away from where she was. On the map, only the pce where Dong Xi was located was lit up. The rest of the ces were dark. Dong Xi looked at it for a long time, then took out a photostone and took aplete picture of the map. After everything was done, Dong Xi strolled around the crystal pce again, but there were no treasures. At this time, the noise outside was getting louder and louder. Dong Xi also had a headache. If Dong Xi told these people that there was nothing here, would they believe it? Of course not. Dong Xi had to think of other ways. Dong Xi quickly thought about it. Finally, she took out a sound amplifying stone and transmitted her voice. ¡°The Gods love their people,¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°I have received the divine decree of the Gods to choose a prodigy to enter and receive the inheritance of the Gods.¡± Anyway, these people all knew that Dong Xi was the Saint Child, so it was not a problem for Dong Xi to do this. Chapter 479 - 479 Do You Really Think You Are the Dragon King? 479 Do You Really Think You Are the Dragon King? When everyone heard Dong Xi¡¯s words, they immediately quieted down. Dong Xi stood on top of the crystal pce and pretended to throw out a stream of spiritual energy to envelop a person. This person immediately revealed a happy expression and immediately walked toward the restriction. What was shocking was that this person actually came in directly. Dong Xi was also a little dumbfounded. What was going on? Spiritual energy? Gold? Attraction? When the people outside the restriction saw this scene, they began to cheer. Dong Xi secretly said in her sea of consciousness, ¡°Big Snake, what is going on? Why did my spiritual energy turn golden? Why were they allowed to enter? Could it be that I¡¯ve really be some kind of Holy child?¡± Su Cheng said lightly, ¡°Just because you lived in the Dragon Pce for two days, you really think you¡¯re the Dragon King?¡± Dong Xi immediatelyughed. She said, ¡°So I¡¯m not. Have you ever seen such a shabby Dragon King?¡± When Su Cheng heard this, he alsoughed. Su Cheng said, ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯re not some Saint Child. All of this is just a coincidence.¡± Dong Xi nodded. Then, she thought of something and said, ¡°Big Snake, what¡¯s the situation with the Fire Tribe? Do you know about it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, I don¡¯t know anything,¡± Su Cheng said. ¡°Impossible! What¡¯s going on?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°Why did all the people of the Fire Tribe disappear the moment they came out?¡± ¡­ After that, no matter what Dong Xi said, Su Cheng ignored her. More and more people gathered outside the restriction. Seeing that everyone was running out of patience, Dong Xi let a few more people in. Those who entered naturally did not find any treasures. They wanted to go out but could not, so they could only wait on the spot. When the number of people entering the secret realm reached 300, the crystal pce shook again and sank. Dong Xi, who was sitting on top of the pce, almost fell down. He immediately steadied himself and watched as the pce sank. Dong Xi suddenly understood something and muttered to herself, ¡°No wonder¡­ Nothing.¡± It turned out that the crystal pce was an elevator. However, no one knew what the trigger condition was. There were all kinds of seaweed in the abyss, and many of them were emitting light. It was obvious that these seaweed were not ordinary. When Dong Xi saw this scene, she almost cried tears of joy. A Golden Core stage Secret Realm made like this almost made the people who came in return empty-handed. The people who came down with Dong Xi did not hesitate to rush out, wanting to snatch these spirit herbs. Dong Xi nced at the crowd. There was no sign of Senior Brother Tie Tie Zhu and the others. She wondered if Senior Brother Tie Zhu and the others had gone in the wrong direction. Dong Xi took out a jade slip and sent a message to everyone in the group. Long Wei immediately replied. [I¡¯ll be there soon. I¡¯m so tired. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t run in the wrong direction.] When Dong Xi saw Long Wei¡¯s message, she immediately asked Long Wei if there were other mermen like Long Wei. Long Wei immediately replied. [That¡¯s right, they¡¯re all here. It¡¯s just that there were two earthquakes just now. The mermen felt that the water fluctuations were very obvious, so they all came over.] When Dong Xi heard this, she recounted everything that had happened in the group and sent another message. [I¡¯ll go in and take a look first. You guys can see if you cane inter. If you can¡¯t, I¡¯ll think of a way to bring you in.] Dong Xi swam to the ce marked on the map and lit up the map first. Dong Xi did not know how long she had been swimming for. Her arm felt numb, and she saw a battlefield in front of her. It was so quiet that even the fish circled around. War gs, swords, and white bones¡­ Dong Xi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Dong Xi had thought of countless possibilities, but she had never thought that this would be a battlefield. Dong Xi had lit the Rebirth Mantra that she had copied when she was idle in Thunder Sound Temple. The specks of golden light looked very strange in the water. At this moment, Dong Xi¡¯s Demon Beast Bag suddenly moved. Dong Xi lowered her head and saw a small head. It was Da Niu! Soon after, Songsong also came out. ¡°I can¡¯t hold Da Niu still,¡± Song Song said. ¡°He¡¯s very disobedient today.¡± Dong Xi rubbed her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. It doesn¡¯t matter if it happens once in a while.¡± Songsong cried out happily. In the next second, Da Niu came out of the Demon Beast Bag and rushed straight to the underwater battlefield. Dong Xi was also shocked and immediately chased after him. It was ridiculous for such an ancient divine beast to drown in the sea. However, he did not expect Da Niu to jump into the ruins. Immediately after, he let out a miserable cry and the seawater started to swirl. Dong Xi¡¯s small body could not withstand such a vortex at all. If the golden bubble on her body burst, Dong Xi really had no way out. Chapter 480 - 480 Taunt 480 Taunt Dong Xi could only shout, ¡°You clown chicken, Da Niu,e back quickly. What are you doing?!¡± Dong Xi was extremely anxious at this moment. Su Cheng said mockingly, ¡°No wonder this little bird refused to turn back. A Bright Bird with such a name¡­ He can really die of shame.¡± Dong Xi fell silent. She admitted that she gave him this name. It was not such a big deal, was it? How old was this child? Would he take things too hard for a down-to-earth name? ¡°It¡¯s not really that name. It¡¯s just a random nickname. Who would me this?¡± Dong Xi said. After saying that, Dong Xi continued without hesitation, ¡°Could it be that when you were young, your mother didn¡¯t give you a nickname?¡± ¡°No,¡± said Su Cheng. Dong Xi actually heard a veryplicated emotion from these two words. There was regret and joy in them. Dong Xi was stunned. Su Cheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t have parents.¡± Dong Xi subconsciously said, ¡°How is that possible? Did you jump out of a rock?¡± Su Chengughed and said, ¡°I hatched from an egg. When I came out, there was no one else beside me.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she suddenly felt a little guilty, as if she had touched someone¡¯s sore spot. ¡°What a coincidence,¡± Dong Xi coughed a few times and said. ¡°When I was born, my parents threw me into an orphanage.¡± Although Su Cheng did not understand what the orphanage meant, from what he heard, it seemed like she had been abandoned. Su Cheng was silent for a moment before he said, ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt Da Niu. This is Da Niu¡¯s good fortune.¡± ¡°What¡­¡± Dong Xi was confused. Howveer, halfway through, Dong Xi suddenly understood something. ¡°It¡¯s Da Niu¡¯s fortune¡­¡± Dong Xi repeated. Aftering in for so long, after so much trouble, he finally encountered a good fortune, but it had nothing to do with Dong Xi. Dong Xi felt veryplicated. Su Cheng noticed Dong Xi¡¯s strange behavior. Su Cheng snorted coldly and said, ¡°The greatest benefit of this Secret Realm is already yours, yet you still think so. Aren¡¯t you going too far?¡± When Dong Xi heard this, his eyes widened. He took out his storage ring and looked at it for a long time. Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°What benefits? Not at all. The general token had been given away. There was only one piece of Deep Sea Extreme Ice left. There was still a Fire Spirit Crystal left¡­ Could it be that the best thing inside was the Deep Sea Extreme Ice?¡± If so, she could ept it. Su Cheng pped Dong Xi twice, but the two of them were only talking in the sea of consciousness, so Dong Xi couldn¡¯t see Su Cheng¡¯s displeasure. ¡°Why do you think you can pass through the restriction freely?¡± Su Cheng asked. ¡°Why do you burn incense to ascend the clouds? Why are your bubbles golden?¡± This time, Su Cheng spoke for a very long time. Su Cheng had never said so much before. After listening, Dong Xi asked curiously, ¡°Why?¡± Su Cheng¡¯s words were filled with envy. Su Cheng said, ¡°You have received the blessings of the citizens of the Fire Tribe¡­¡± Dong Xi¡¯s ears perked up when she heard that. Dong Xi knew that blessings were also Power of Wishes. Many people stepped into the Dao from the mortal world by borrowing the Power of Wishes of mortals. The Power of Wishes made those people powerful, but after these people¡¯s strength increased, they would also fulfill the wishes of those mortals. Both sidesplemented each other. Su Cheng continued, ¡°The Fire Tribe was exterminated 10,000 years ago. The Fire Tribe has never been able to leave. What we see is only the obsession of the Fire Tribe.¡± After Dong Xi heard this, she immediately thought of the Fire Tribe¡¯s leader. As a prophet, the Fire Tribe Leader¡¯s eyes could see through everything¡­ Dong Xi let out a long sigh, as if she had thought of something. She said, ¡°But¡­ You were the one who let them out back then, right? Why did the blessing of the Fire Tribe reach me?¡± After a long time, Su did not answer this question. Dong Xi waited for a long time, but still did not get an answer. She said, ¡°Forget it!¡± Dong Xi sat in her own bubble and watched the vortex spinning not far away. She thought of the great war between the ancient Gods and the first time she had taken the wrong path to the Skill Teaching Hall when she had just entered the sect. She thought of the scene she had seen on the murals¡­ Only in a battle of that scale would be worthy of the Bright Bird¡¯s identity. Finally, the vortex calmed down. Dong Xi¡¯s thoughts were instantly pulled back as she looked at the center of the vortex. A bunch of meaty things were thrown out from inside. Dong Xi instinctively raised her hand to catch it. After seeing it clearly, Dong Xi immediately fell silent. This little fellow had not grown up at all. The fur that had finallye out had all fallen off. Dong Xi thought of the Bright Bird¡¯s habit of plucking all its feathers at the slightest disagreement and suddenly understood. Chapter 481 - 481 Keep an Eye on Him 481 Keep an Eye on Him Although it was understandable, she did not know if those feathers were swept away by the vortex or if Da Niu plucked them himself. Dong Xi frowned as she pondered. Da Niu had also woken up. He stood in Dong Xi¡¯s hand and shook his head. He had just taken two steps when he fell down again. Dong Xi sized Da Niu up seriously, but she still did not notice any changes. Had he really encountered an opportunity? The Big Snake had never deceived Dong Xi, so there must be a chance. However, from the looks of it, Da Niu seemed to have obtained this opportunity, right? Dong Xi directly ced Da Niu back into the Demon Beast Pouch and said, ¡°Songsong, keep an eye on him. If there¡¯s anything wrong, tell me immediately.¡± Songsong obediently agreed toe down. Only then did Dong Xi enter the battlefield. The vortex had just ended here, and the water was a little muddy. The war gs and swords made the ce even heavier. Dong Xi walked forward and pulled out the battle g. There were still some marks left on it. There is a big word, but there is only half of it. Dong Xi looked at the big words and guessed that it should be ¡®Sang¡¯. A person with the surname ¡®Sang¡¯? Dong Xi had never heard of him, let alone know him. The dim light shone into the sea, and Dong Xi immediately noticed what was reflecting the light. Dong Xi took another two steps forward and picked up the items from the ground. With the help of seawater, the soil on it was washed away, revealing the original appearance of the item. So it was a conch that looked like a horn. Dong Xi felt a little annoyed, so she took the conch and blew on it. The melodious voice spread far away, and even Shangguan Yun¡¯er and Long Wei heard it. The two of them had also arrived near the restriction, but they were unable to enter. Of course, other than Shangguan Yun¡¯er and Long Wei, no one else could enter. At this moment, the battle g in Dong Xi¡¯s hand also lit up. The broken words on the g seemed to have been filled up, and the golden light revealed a border. The restriction also disappeared, and the pce that had sunk under the cliff rose up. A line of words also appeared in the water. [Sangdai Camp has been activated. Everyone, choose your camp. If you rise or fall, you will rise or fall together!] When this line of words appeared, Dong Xi also put away the battle g. Dong Xi¡¯s guess was correct. The owner of this Secret Realm loved faction battles. There were many natives here who came in with her. She did not know which camp these natives belonged to. While Dong Xi was thinking, Tie Zhu and the others were frantically sending messages in the group. [Did everyone see that? What is this Sangdai Camp? Does anyone know? Should we join?] Long Wei immediately sent a message to express his stance. [I saw it. Where did Fellow Daoist Dong go? Let¡¯s see what Fellow Daoist Dong says.] Shangguan Yun¡¯er sent a message. [Where my husband is, I will be there!] Yu Wei sent a message with some doubt. [What if Sang Dai is from the viin camp?] Shangguan Yun¡¯er immediately sent a message. [In that case, my husband and I will be the viins.] ¡­ When Dong Xi saw these messages, she immediately sent a message to the group. [I forgot to tell everyone that the g of Sangdai Camp is in my hands, but I don¡¯t know how to join either.] Tie Zhu and the others immediately told Dong Xi that the restriction was gone. Dong Xi immediately sent a message in the group. [Hurry up ande down. There are still some things here. If you¡¯rete, they¡¯ll be gone.] Dong Xi did not care about these spirit herbs, but they were still pretty good for Wei and the others. Dong Xi nned to go further to take a look, but she did not know that as she left, the map in the crystal pce was also expanding bit by bit. Not long after, another line of words appeared in front of everyone. [Caowei Camp has been activated. Everyone, choose your camp¡­] It was likely that someone among the cultivators who came with Dong Xi and the others had found the battle g. Many of these people did not ept Dong Xi¡¯s employment, which meant that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. Then, two more camps were opened, the Sun Camp and the Meng Camp. At this moment, the crystal pce suddenly began to spin. When it finallynded, it turned red. There was arge word on the que of the pce: Sangdai. The exit had already been sealed, and everyone who stayed behind had be Sangdai¡¯s camp. Fortunately, Tie Zhu and the others were there. Everyone found a ce and began to discuss their ns with the jade slips. Everyone in the group spoke one after another. [What should we do now? The exit has been sealed.] [What¡¯s the situation in this faction? Are we going to war with the other factions?] ¡­ Dong Xi thought the same. After all, the war g was picked up from the ancient battlefield. Before anyone could be too confused, they received the first order. [If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your weapon. Choose either defensive equipment or offensive equipment. The first to refine a supreme-grade spirit weapon wins.] Oh, so it¡¯s a refining task¡­ Chapter 482 - 482 Artifact Refining in the Water 482 Artifact Refining in the Water Dong Xi knew very well that she was not good at refining weapons, so she could only look at Long Wei and Cui Liu honestly. Long Wei said unhappily at this time, ¡°What lousy instructions! Refining weapons underwater? What is that?! Furthermore, they even want a supreme-grade spirit weapon to qualify. If I had such a skill, my old master would rejoice! I wouldn¡¯t even be able to refine it on solid ground.¡± Dong Xi was silent. Fortunately, when Long Wei had been making a pretense, Dong Xi had not believed him. After all, Long Wei did not seem reliable. Dong Xi looked at Cui Liu decisively. The Dwarf Race was famous for artifact crafting. In the entire cultivation world, the Dwarf Race had seven levels of artifact-crafting grandmasters. Cui Liu noticed that Dong Xi was looking at him. Cui Liu pondered and said, ¡°My race¡¯s refining method is very special. It requires a lot of water spiritual energy interference. I can¡¯t guarantee that I can refine a supreme-grade spirit weapon.¡± When Dong Xi heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. He could not guarantee it, but that meant that there was still hope. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Fellow Daoist Cui Liu. You can just try it out. What do you think we should refine?¡± Dong Xi said. ¡°Is it defensive equipment or offensive equipment?¡± Cui Liu thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s better to refine offensive equipment. If I can refine a sword, I¡¯ll make myself bigger.¡± ¡°Sure. What do you need?¡± Dong Xi nodded. Cui Liu did not hesitate and directly told her all the materials he needed. As an armament master, Long Wei naturally became Dong Xi¡¯s priority. As Long Wei took out the items, he said, ¡°Ever since we got into this Secret Realm, we didn¡¯t get anything in here, but you made me lose so much first.¡± Dong Xi said with a smile, ¡°Fellow Daoist Long Wei, that¡¯s not the case. Think about it carefully. Since this senior wants us to forge artifacts, it means that there must be ores here. However, we need to find them. Perhaps this senior is a grandmaster artifact craftsman. If anyone can obtain the inheritance left behind by him, that would really be amazing.¡± Seeing Long Wei¡¯s eyes light up, Dong Xi¡¯s lips curled into a smile. When it came to ttery, no one would dare to say that they were first if Dong Xi said that she was second. Everyone had just entered and was still excited about this ce. No one even thought of leaving. Everyone began to explore the surroundings. Dong Xi had to help Cui Liu refine a supreme-grade spirit weapon, so he did not have time to search. However, it did not matter. There were still cultivators who had spent so much money to hire. These people also brought back a lot of ores for Dong Xi, enough for Cui Liu to refine. Dong Xi saw Cui Liu continuously refining weapons, and the spiritual weapons on his body fluctuated too much. Dong Xi took out a bottle of Spirit Restore Pills and handed it over. Dong Xi said, ¡°Fellow Daoist Cui, what can I help you with?¡± Cui Liu frowned and said, ¡°The temperature of my fire spiritual energy is a little low. It¡¯s fine onnd, but in the sea, it really can¡¯t melt the ore¡­¡± Dong Xi thought of the three pill furnaces that had exploded because the temperature of the spiritual energy was too high¡­ ¡°Let me try,¡± said Dong Xi. Cui Liu also knew that Dong Xi had a fire spirit root. Cui Liu nodded. However, seeing Dong Xihuo melting the ore so easily, Cui Liu was stunned. Dong Xi saw that the furnace was a little red and was afraid that it would explode. Dong Xi immediately said, ¡°Fellow Cultivator Cui, do you think this is okay?¡± When Cui Liu heard this, he came back to his senses and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± After that, Cui Liu started to hammer the sword. Dong Xi was going to add fire to it. As they watched the sword slowly take shape, everyone started to get nervous. In the beginning, it was very simple to shape, but thest part was the key. Dong Xi did not dare to breathe too loudly at the side. At this moment, Dong Xi was treating herself as a hairdryer. She only needed to increase the fire. At other times, she would be obedient. Cui Liu¡¯s hammering became faster and faster, with some rhythm. In the end, the refinement was sessful, but it was not a supreme-grade spirit weapon. Cui Liu looked at the middle-grade spiritual weapon in his hand and was very excited. Cui Liu said, ¡°The first time we cooperated, there was no tacit understanding. If we do it again, I have a feeling that it will work.¡± Seeing Cui Liu so confident, Dong Xi let out a sigh of relief. A good Secret Realm had be a game of clearing levels. If they could not pass this level, they did not know what would happenter. If they were really trapped here, it would be a big problem. ¡°Fellow Daoist Cui Liu¡¯s refining technique is really perfect,¡± said Dong Xi. ¡°Fellow Daoist Dong¡¯s fire spiritual energy is also quite good,¡± Cui Liu said. The two of them looked at each other. Dong Xi smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not tter each other.¡± Cui Liu looked at Dong Xi and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist Dong¡¯s fire spiritual energy is still so hot in such a dense sea. It¡¯s indeed powerful. I knew that Fellow Daoist Dong is an alchemist, but now it seems that Fellow Daoist Dong¡¯s future in alchemy is limitless!¡± Chapter 483 - 483 A Little Embarrassed 483 A Little Embarrassed Cui Liu spoke very sincerely, making Dong Xi feel a little embarrassed. Dong Xi thought that although the temperature of the fire spiritual qi was high in the past, it was not this strong. It was most likely rted to the medicinal bath in the Shangguan Residence, or it could be rted to the trip to the Fire Tribe. Su Cheng was right. No matter what happened in the end, Dong Xi had already obtained the biggest benefit of this Secret Realm. After that, Dong Xi quietly cooperated with Cui Liu. This time, the two of them had a tacit understanding. Dong Xi was very experienced in controlling the fire. Not long after, another weapon appeared. At this moment, the temperature of the furnace had reached a terrifying level. Cui Liu was sweating as he stood at the side, but Dong Xi did not feel hot. The two of them looked nervous. As Cui Liu finished quenching, the two of them instantly became excited. ¡°It¡¯s a sess!¡± Cui Liu shouted. When the temperature of the sword had dropped, Cui Liu handed it to Dong Xi. Dong Xi sized him up seriously. Cui Liu said, ¡°Hurry up and try.¡± Dong Xi nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Dong Xi picked up the sword and ced it in a groove in the pce. After a long time, a line of words appeared in the sea. [Sangdai¡¯s camp is the first to refine a supreme-grade spirit weapon and is in the lead.] At this moment, Dong Xi was standing in the pce and looking at the map. The rest of the cultivators had almost finished exploring the area. One could clearly see that the map of Dong Xi and the others was in the shape of a moon. When they first arrived here, the canyon was one side of the moon. Below the map was a table. There was a groove in the middle of the table, and in it was the longsword that they had just refined. At this moment, a piece of the table protruded out. When she opened it, it seemed to be a scroll. Dong Xi opened the scroll. [To refine a weapon, one needs to have the weapon in their heart. When it is about to take shape, the refiner must have the best shape and effect of the weapon in their heart. Draw the weapon with the greatest power in their heart on the scroll as the content of the faction assessment. After three rounds ofpetition, think about how to write it.] Dong Xi did not know anything about forging, so he gave the scroll to Cui Liu. Cui Liu thought for a moment and drew the most powerful weapon he had ever seen on the scroll. Then, he waited for the judgment. Dong Xi took this opportunity to search the ancient battlefield again to see if there was any inspiration. At noon on the third day, countless beams of light suddenly appeared in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi sat in the ruins and looked up. She saw the same beam of light rising from another direction. It seemed like someone from another faction had refined a supreme-grade spirit weapon. Four light figures appeared in the sky, each holding a magic tool. Dong Xi saw that one of the light figures had a very familiar magic tool. It seemed to be drawn by Cui Liu. So they used these tools to determine the winner? Dong Xi had thought that they would have to personally go into battle. Suddenly, Dong Xi saw someone holding a magic tool. Was that a Torrential Pear Blossom Needle? Dong Xi was dumbfounded. Was this cheating? As expected, with the addition of the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle and the spiritual energy, the light figure representing Dong Xi¡¯s side slowly fell into a disadvantage. Dong Xi immediately ran towards the pce. When the others saw Dong Xi¡¯s golden protective barrier from afar, they immediately made way for her. Dong Xi walked to the pce and saw Cui Liu with a guilty expression. Cui Liu said, ¡°Fellow Daoist Dong, it¡¯s all my fault.¡± Dong Xi frowned and said, ¡°What do you mean? It has nothing to do with you. This matter can only be med on the other side for not respecting martial ethics. Since they cheated, they can¡¯t me me.¡± Cui Liu was stunned when he heard this. By the time he reacted, Dong Xi had already walked into the pce. The rest of the people were unable to enter without Dong Xi¡¯s guidance. They could only watch Dong Xi from the outside, watching her as she pondered, wrote, and drew on the scroll. In the end, Dong Xi pped her hands, a smile on her face. Long Wei was pacing back and forth in front of Tie Zhu. Tie Zhu could not stand it anymore and could only hide in his shell. ¡°Big Brother Tie Zhu, is Fellow Daoist Dong an alchemist?¡± Long Wei asked. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me she knows how to forge artifacts?¡± Tie Zhu opened the shell and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. She has a lot of secrets. Even if she told me that she¡¯s a demonic beast, I wouldn¡¯t think it¡¯s a problem.¡± Long Wei was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a problem with it either.¡± After that, Long Wei shook his head and continued to look at Dong Xi. At this moment, the cultivators who were digging for spirit nts in other ces came back and looked at the sky quietly. Finally, as another beam of light rose, everyone became nervous. The faction that held the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle had turned into the Myriad Manifestation Umbre. It was a weapon that looked like an umbre, one equipped with many knives. Dong Xi snorted coldly. Weapons werepletely vulnerable in the face of sufficient firepower. The weapons of the Sangdai Camp appeared together with the light and shadow. Everyone was silent when they saw it. What item was this? Chapter 484 - 484 Has It Become Defensive Task? 484 Has It Be Defensive Task? It looks like it¡¯s a ck turtle. Could it be that Sangdai¡¯s camp had already be defensive? However, everyone was still too naive. Sangdai sat in her weapon, and not long after, a dazzling light gathered in the barrel. With just one shot, the Myriad Manifestation Umbre disappeared. Everyone was shocked. They looked at Dong Xi in the pce. Everyone was thinking, this person¡­ Where did ite from? The people who were originally dissatisfied with Dong Xi now wished they could kneel down and shout ¡®long live¡¯. This operation made everyone feel much safer! Dong Xi¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw that the tank was not bad. It was actually more powerful than she had imagined. If there was a chance in the future, he could let the people of the Equipment Refining Sect try to refine it. If she really seeded, the status of the Ningtian Sect in the cultivation world would be raised. Dong Xi did not know much about the principles of the tank, but it was fine. The cultivation world did not need to study explosives. They just needed to design a device that could gather spiritual energy and release it. Dong Xi did not guess. After using the explosives given by the Shangguan Patriarch, he had some understanding in this aspect. This was also Dong Xi¡¯s first attempt. It seemed that the effect was quite good. With this, Dong Xi was very confident in her next work. As for the other three camps, they were starting to be wary. This time, the other three camps handed in their papers very slowly. Dong Xi did not panic at all. She sat at the top of the pce and looked at Long Wei beside her. Dong Xi said, ¡°Can¡¯t you stop for a while? They both had tails, so why was the difference so huge?¡± Long Wei thought that Dong Xi was talking about him and Shangguan Yun¡¯er. However, Dong Xi was talking about Su Cheng, who had a tail and was still acting abstinently. Long Wei came to Dong Xi¡¯s side and did not continue to sway. Long Wei said, ¡°I was feeling anxious for you. Also, don¡¯t youo think that these people are too slow??¡± Dong Xi red at Long Wei. Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun¡¯er with satisfaction. Dong Xi said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The slower they are, the more afraid they are. Besides, I¡¯m very confident in what I¡¯ve drawn.¡± After all, it was abination of the essence of two worlds. Who would have thought of this? ¡°Let these people stall. We only have three days anyway,¡± Dong Xi continued. Dong Xi said casually. However, she did not expect that the people from the other three camps would really drag it out until thest day. When the light beam appeared in the sky again, Dong Xi retracted her spiritual energy. Finally, it was time. If he dragged on, Dong Xi felt that he would break through soon. The people from the Sun Camp seemed to be hidden weapon experts. This time, the Sun Camp drew a Peacock Feather Fan. As for the other two camps, one was for defense, and the other was for a two-handed greatsword. As soon as Sangdai¡¯s magic tool appeared, the people from the other three camps immediately lost their confidence. It was a strange magic tool that they had never seen before. Dong Xi smiled but did not say anything. She was just a modern girl. Compared to the one just now, her power was much more powerful. She was prepared to put on a big show for everyone. Victory would definitely belong to Dong Xi¡¯s camp. Everyone from Sangdai Camp would win, and they received the ¡®rain of light¡¯ as the reward. Everyone¡¯s defenses had also be much stronger. For such an important mission like Dong Xi, the golden light on their bodies had be even more abundant. Dong Xi could not help but think, ¡®No way! Do we still have to fight?¡¯ There were many people who had such thoughts. The people from the other three camps even secretly contacted each other, wanting to form an alliance. When the people hired by Dong Xi received this news, they immediately reported it to Dong Xi. After the rain of light dispersed, the sea was terrifyingly quiet. In the next moment, a huge creature suddenly swam over. Looking closely, it was a huge sea demon. Dong Xi was a little confused. ¡°It¡¯s actually not a faction fight. It¡¯s a defensive task?¡± As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, the huge sea demon began to attack. Fortunately, the attack was blocked by the restriction. Only then did everyone realize that the huge sea demon was only a projection. The huge sea demon¡¯s attacknded on the restriction again, and the protective barrier shook crazily. Dong Xi turned around and immediately said, ¡°Now, all people with shells will maintain the restrictions. The mermen are in charge of distracting the enemy. The rest of the cultivators will attack together with me.¡± At this time, Long Wei did not dare to show off and immediately began to sing. As the song rang out, not only did Dong Xi show off, but the huge sea demon outside also stopped for a moment. Dong Xi wanted tough. ¡°Long Wei, what did you sing?¡± Long Wei smiled and said, ¡°That day, we met a fishing girl in theke and she sang this song. I learned it at that time.¡± Chapter 485 - 485 As Long as It Works 485 As Long as It Works Dong Xi¡¯s mouth twitched. Forget it, as long as it works, there was no reason to criticize it. Although it was a little unpleasant to hear, it was fine as long as it worked. The attacks hit the huge sea demon¡¯s body like tickles. However, even if it was just scratching an itch, it would more or less block the attack and continue to attack the restriction. Just as everyone thought that there was no hope, the weapons drawn by Dong Xi and the others appeared along with her hired team on the ancient battlefield. Although it was only a projection, it was still effective against the sea demons. Just like that, they persisted for almost seven days. Dong Xi began to realize that all their efforts were in vain. The reason why they were able tost for seven days was because of the weapons that Dong Xi had drawn. The cultivators could not stop this huge sea demon at all. Moreover, ording to the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the sea demons broke through the restriction and killed everyone. Dong Xi stood there and thought for a long time before finally making a decision. Dong Xi said, ¡°As long as there¡¯s life, there¡¯s hope. Retreat. At most, we¡¯ll fail. We have to survive first.¡± Everyone sent three light attacks to block the sea demons while the rest of them sat in the pce and returned to the abyss in the sea. It was impossible to fit so many people at once, so Dong Xi spent three trips to send everyone over. Dong Xi asked the merman to help the people with the shells escape while the cultivator with the shell helped the merman defend. After everyone was safe, the restriction was broken by the sea demons. As the sea demons attacked, everything started to disappear. The sea demons also disappeared. Even the tank that Dong Xi drew had disappeared. Everything seemed to have been a dream. Dong Xi frowned and began to think about everything. What was real and what was fake? Arriving at the Secret Realm was real, but everything in the Secret Realm could be fake. The benefits that she obtained were real, while the enemies were fake¡­ Perhaps all of this was just bubbles in the water that would disappear the moment the sun rose. Dong Xi sat down cross-legged and slowly closed her eyes. When everyone saw Dong Xi¡¯s actions, they thought that she was asking them to wait quietly for something, so they all sat on the ground like Dong Xi. If one looked from afar, the bottom of the sea was filled with colorful bubbles. After the battle just now, everyone¡¯s spiritual energy was almost depleted. This time, they used it to recover their spiritual energy. However, as time passed, some people could no longer sit still. They wanted to know what everyone was waiting for. A disciple from arge sect like Tie Zhu could tell that something was wrong with Dong Xi. Tie Zhu did not care. The only thing he envied was Dong Xi¡¯s physique. As for the other sects¡¯ cultivators, they were clearly envious. After all, this was an Epiphany¡­ Some people might not even be able to have an Epiphany once in their entire lives. There were also quite a number of people who had evil intentions and wanted to go over to discuss. Long Wei directly blocked in front of Dong Xi and said, ¡°Bad cultivators and people will be punished by lightning strikes. My master has a bad temper, so I advise you all not to seek your own death. If you want to do something bad, think twice about what my master would do¡­¡± Long Wei¡¯s words were very intimidating. When everyone thought of the magic tool that Dong Xi had drawn previously, they immediately became obedient. Shangguan Yun¡¯er looked at the slightly arrogant Long Wei. Shangguan Yun¡¯er said, ¡°When did my husband ept you as his disciple?¡± ¡°When Fellow Daoist Dong wakes up and sees such an outstanding disciple like me protecting him with all my might, he¡¯ll definitely be willing to take me as his disciple,¡± Long Wei said confidently. Shangguan Yun¡¯er was speechless. Shangguan Yun¡¯er understood Dong Xi. How could he ept someone like Long Wei? It could only be said that Long Wei was dreaming. At this moment, Shangguan Yun¡¯er noticed that her tail had started to change. Not only Shangguan Yun¡¯er, but everyone else was changing their tails as well. At the same time, the surrounding seawater began to change. Everyone cried out in surprise. Dong Xi also woke up at this time. Dong Xi stretchedzily, feeling extremelyfortable. When Tie Zhu and the others saw Dong Xi wake up, they immediately went forward. Tie Zhu said, ¡°Junior Brother, how is it?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s just a small cultivation realm increase,¡± Dong Xi said with a smile. Even without this Epiphany, Dong Xi would have reached the middle Foundation Establishment stage in no time. Tie Zhu looked at Dong Xi enviously. Tie Zhu said, ¡°When we first met, your cultivation level wasn¡¯t even as high as mine. It hasn¡¯t been long since then, but you¡¯ve already surpassed me by so much.¡± The others did not know when Tie Zhu and Dong Xi knew each other, so they thought that Tie Zhu meant many years had passed. However, they did not expect¡­ It was only a span of a few months. Dong Xi looked around and felt the spiritual energy in this ce. Dong Xi¡¯s brows rxed. ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve finally arrived at the real Secret Realm,¡± said Dong Xi. Chapter 486 A Reflection Chapter 486 A Reflection It was like spring all year round here, and there were demon beasts and spirit nts everywhere. It seemed that it was time for the Secret Realm to show itself. Without needing Dong Xi to say anything, the rest of the people had already scattered and started to search for treasures. Dong Xi could see that although this ce was not in the sea, the terrain was simr to the sea. It seemed that the map in the crystal pce could be used as a reference. ording to the settings of the cultivation world, the canyon was the most concentrated. If one wanted to obtain any treasures, they had to go deep into the canyon. Dong Xi took a few steps and suddenly disappeared. Tie Zhu was shocked. He immediately took out hismunication jade slip and contacted Dong Xi, but there was no reply. Tie Zhu repeatedly checked the ce where Dong Xi had disappeared. Tie Zhu asked doubtfully, "What''s going on? Why did she suddenly disappear? There isn''t any array formation here." Cui Liu looked at Tie Zhu and said, "Old Tie, don''t worry, it might be an illusion." When Tie Zhu heard this, he nodded. "That''s right. We''vee to this lousy ce. I don''t know how many illusions there are." While the two of them were talking, Long Wei said, "Then¡­ Are we still digging for spirit nts?" Long Wei pointed, and everyone saw a fifth-grade spirit nt. Everyone immediately quieted down. A momentter, everyone said with a firm gaze, "We have to dig!" Tie Zhu said, "Let''s split up and dig. We''lle backter to take a look. Perhaps Junior Brother identally stepped on some teleportation array and has already arrived at another ce." "That''s right. Let''s go to other ces to take a look first." Everyone began to split up. Tie Zhu and Cui Liu were in the sixth team, Long Wei and Qing Niao were in the first team, and Shangguan Yun''er and Yu Wei were in the same team as the hired bodyguards. ... Dong Xi had indeed been teleported to another ce, but she ahd not stepped on a teleportation array. She had been sucked into a small world. The surroundings were dark, and Dong Xi was a little flustered. Dong Xi used her fastest speed to pull out the Daoist robe from the ring, put on the little turtle magical treasure, and also pasted some protective talismans on it. His movements were very skillful. After doing everything, Dong Xi finally felt a sense of security. She took out her illumination magic tool and illuminated her surroundings. "Anyone?" Dong Xi shouted. "Is there anyone here?" Dong Xi frowned and shouted a few words, but no one paid any attention to her. Dong Xi took the illumination magic tool and found herself in a room. After walking around, Dong Xi found a divine statue in the room. It was the same as the one she saw in the hall outside. Dong Xi immediately knelt down and bowed. Finally, as if a switch had been triggered, the forehead of the statue began to emit bursts of light. Then, a Guangying Shadow appeared. Dong Xi was stunned. Then, she asked in confusion, "Is this a divine manifestation?" If her guess was correct, this Immortal was the Master of the Secret Realm. When the Guangying Shadow heard Dong Xi''s words, heughed. His voice sounded very young, but it sounded a little old. "You are very interesting, little girl." When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately understood that this Guangying Shadow was different from the ones she had encountered before. It could reallymunicate. "Greetings, Senior," Dong Xi said respectfully. As soon as he bowed, Dong Xi was held up by a gentle force. The Guangying Shadowsaid, "Stand up." Dong Xi looked at the Guangying Shadow and felt that it was very familiar. Dong Xi pondered for a long time. It was only when the Guangying Shadowwas somewhat puzzled that Dong Xi finally remembered. Wasn''t this Guangying Shadow one factions from before? The Guangying Shadow looked at Dong Xi in shock. He said, "What''s wrong? Did you remember something?" At this moment, Dong Xi said even more respectfully, "You¡­ Are you Senior Sangdai?" The light figureughed, and the armor on its body made a noise along with the Guangying Shadow''s movements. "You''re very smart, girl. You''ve always been a smart girl." Dong Xi immediately said, "I don''t deserve it, I''m just a little clever." "You wouldn''t be here if you hadn''t gone through the many tests set by me," Sangdai shook his head and said. "Also, if you''re not smart, you wouldn''t have appeared here." Dong Xi did not say anything. Sangdai said indifferently, "This is the ancient battlefield of the great war between the Gods and Demons. Back then, I led hundreds of thousands of cultivators here to resist the attack of the Demons. Countless geniuses died here, including the Ancestors of the Fire Tribe you saw." When Dong Xi heard this, her expression immediately became serious. Sangdai continued, "At that time, I promised the Ancestors of the Fire Tribe that I would help them preserve their bloodline. In the end, I let them down. I never thought that the Fire Tribe would be destroyed because they were trapped in the volcano." When Dong Xi heard Sangdai mention the Fire Tribe, she said, "Senior, why can''t the younger generation of the Fire Tribe improve no matter how hard they cultivate?" "No matter what, this small world is just a little realm under my control. At first, it''s full of spiritual energy, but as time goes on, the spiritual energy will be used up one day." Chapter 487 Returning to the World Chapter 487 Returning to the World Hearing Sangdai''s words, Dong Xi asked in puzzlement, "But when we first entered this ce, we felt that the spiritual energy here was very abundant. Those spirit nts were better than those outside." "Because those cultivators are all dead. After the cultivators die, the spiritual energy in their bodies will return to the world¡­" exined Sangdai. Dong Xi was silent. At the same time, she thought of another saying. It was rumored that no one had Ascended in the cultivation world for many years. In the early years, there were still many cultivators who Ascended. At that time, the more spirit roots a cultivator had, the better. Now, even a single Heavenly Spirit Root was unable to Ascend. Could it be because Senior Sangdai said that there was not enough spiritual energy? "It''s been so long," Sangdai continued. "The border we guarded has gone through countless changes. In the end, it wasn''t taken away by the Demons. It''s a worthy death." Sangdai''s smile looked very relieved. Sangdai looked at Dong Xi and said, "At that time, although I died, I had no regrets. I only regretted that I didn''t have an inheritor. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and you have gone through many tests. You are very suitable for me. Now, I will teach you my life magic tool. In the future, you must take good care of it for me." As soon as Sangdai finished speaking, a box appeared on the table. Sangdai waved his hand and opened the box. A pagoda appeared in front of Dong Xi. "This is the Seven Treasures Demon Subduing Pagoda," Sangdai said. "It can help you break the array and resist enemies. It can also assist in your cultivation. I''ll pass this treasure to you. I only have one request that I hope you can agree to." "Please speak, Senior," said Dong Xi. "If the Demon racees to snatch this item in the future and you can''t guarantee that it''s safe, then let this treasure perish together with the Demon race. You must never let it fall into the hands of the Demons." Dong Xi looked at the Seven Treasures Demon Subduing Pagoda, unable to calm down for a long time. In the end, Dong Xi nodded and said, "Junior agrees." Sangdai solemnly ced the pagoda in Dong Xi''s hand. A gratified smile appeared on Sangdai''s face. At this moment, Dong Xi realized that Sangdai''s body was starting to turn transparent. She said anxiously, "Senior, what''s going on?" "It''s alright," Sangdai said with a smile. "I''m just a remnant soul. I''ve been here for too long. It''s time for it to disperse." Demon-Subduing Pagoda in her hand. The pagoda was emitting light, and one could tell at a nce that it Dong Xi frowned and said, "Senior..." "Go out." Sangdai waved his hand and said, "Follow your heart and be a righteous and kind person." The light faded away bit by bit, and the room disappeared along with it. Dong Xi regained his senses and was already standing at the ce where she started. She was still holding the Seven Treasures Demon-Subduing Pagoda in her hand. The pagoda was emitting light, and one could tell at a nce that it was a treasure. Dong Xi immediately put it away and looked around to see if anyone had noticed it. An innocent man would be guilty of a crime, and Dong Xi did not want to be hunted down in the future because of this. Dong Xi took out hermunication jade slip and immediately sent a message to Tie Zhu and the others. She knew that everyone was picking spirit nts and immediately went to meet them. Three dayster, the Sangdai Secret Realm began to be unstable. Everyone in the Secret Realm was teleported out. Dong Xi was thest to leave. She watched as everything in the Secret Realm began to copse. In the future, the Sangdai Secret Realm would probably only be a legend in the cultivation world. Dong Xi and the others stood by the sea, the waves soaking their shoes. Everyone said goodbye to each other. The cultivators who had been hired also came to settle themission with Dong Xi. Dong Xi asked these people to go to the Rainbow Store to get the money. Everyone left happily. Only Long Wei stood calmly by Dong Xi''s side, showing no intention of leaving. "You''re not leaving?" asked Dong Xi. "If you don''t leave, I''ll follow you." Long Wei shook his head. "Why are you following me?" Dong Xi asked doubtfully. "My old man said that we must be friends with powerful people," Long Wei said righteously. Dong Xi was thinking about how to reject him. Long Wei continued, "I''m different. I don''t want to be friends. I want to directly acknowledge you as my Master." "Are you serious?" Dong Xi asked with her eyes wide open. "If you don''t believe me, I can swear on it." "Yes, of course I do, but I really have nothing to teach you." Dong Xi immediately said. Long Wei said, "You can teach me just about anything, and I can learn for a long time. For example... That body tempering technique or sword technique of yours?" Dong Xi was someone who was afraid of trouble. Although Long Wei was very sincere, Dong Xi still rejected him. Dong Xi said, "Forget it. My cultivation hasn''t gone up yet. It''s not a good time to be distracted. If I ept a disciple, I''ll be distracted." What Dong Xi did not expect was that Long Wei was actually very stubborn. No matter what Dong Xi said, he would not leave and would always follow Dong Xi. Dong Xi chased him away a few times, but there was no other way. She could only let Long Wei do as he pleased. After handing Shangguan Yun''er back to Shangguan Patriarch, Dong Xi would leave this ce. Chapter 488 Did You Get Anything?

Chapter 488 Did You Get Anything?

Dong Xi brought Shangguan Yun''er back to the Shangguan Residence. Coincidentally, Shangguan Patriarch had just left the residence. "You''re back?" Shangguan Patriarch asked. "Did you get anything?" "I''ve harvested some spirit herbs." Dong Xi nodded. After saying that, Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Patriarch and continued, "You are¡­ Are you preparing to go out?" Shangguan Patriarch''s face turned ugly, but he was helpless. He said, "Master said that if you want to eat Immortal Peaches, they must be from the North Mountains. I''ll pick them myself." Seeing the aggrieved look on Shangguan Patriarch''s face, Dong Xi almost could not help butugh. After Shangguan Patriarch left, Dong Xi finallyughed. "What''s so funny?" said Rui Ming. Dong Xi turned around and looked at Rui Ming. Dong Xi said, "Senior Brother Rui Ming, why are you here?" "I didn''t understand why you wanted me to take this servant in the past, but recently, I suddenly understood." Dong Xi immediatelyughed and followed Rui Ming into the house. Rui Ming poured a cup of tea for Dong Xi and said, "After you guys left, I had nothing to do, so I thought ofing here to hang out." Dong Xi smelled the tea and said in shock, "What tea is this? Why is it so strong?" "It''s the Green Dragon Spring Water. I used it to brew the Fuyang Dragon Tea." "I didn''t expect you to be such a good person, Senior Brother." Dong Xi said. "Shangguan Patriarch offered it up." Shangguan Patriarch was truly afraid of the Crane n''s innate skill. Right now, he wanted to serve Rui Ming well. Dong Xi took a sip of tea and said, "Not bad. It can help me stabilize my cultivation realm." From the moment he saw Dong Xi, Rui Ming already knew. Now that he heard Dong Xi say this, Rui Ming said, "You broke through?" Dong Xi nodded, looking as if he was about to praise him. Dong Xi said, "Of course, although I can''tpare to your speed, it doesn''t hurt your reputation." Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi and said helplessly, "I''m not very fast, okay? I just recovered some of my previous cultivation. Junior Sister, your speed is already very fast. In the entire Eastern Continent, there are very few people who canpare to you." This time, Dong Xi did not act too modest. She remembered that her small goal when she first arrived in the cultivation world was only to build her foundation. Now, Dong Xi had reached the middle Foundation Establishment stage, which took only three years. Shangguan Patriarch would be gone for at least half a month. As Dong Xi had obtained the Deep Sea Extreme Ice, she wanted to find a ce with abundant fire spiritual energy to refine her body immediately. ording to Dong Xi''s thoughts, the volcano of the Fire Tribe was especially suitable. Unfortunately, there was no Deep Sea Extreme Ice at that time. Rui Ming wanted to leave with Dong Xi, but Dong Xi was not surprised. Dong Xi said, "Senior Brother, aren''t you going to wait for the Peach?" "No wait, I''m already so old. What treasure haven''t I eaten before?" Qiu Heng''s words sounded like an old man''s, and with Rui Ming''s face, it was somewhat uneptable. At this moment, Dong Xi was even more curious. Dong Xi approached Rui Ming and gossiped, "Senior Brother, how old are you?" Rui Ming pondered for a moment, then looked at Dong Xi. Seeing Dong Xi''s expectant gaze, Rui Ming said lightly, "I can''t remember." Dong Xi was speechless. Seeing that Rui Ming had already walked far away, Dong Xi immediately chased after him. "Fine, you don''t want to tell me. Why didn''t you wait for me?" Dong Xi said. "Senior Brother, you''ve grown up. You''re not as cute as you were when you were young¡­" Shangguan Yun''er watched the two of them leave. Shangguan Yun'' er was holding a painting in her hand. The painting was not drawn by Shangguan Yun''er, but by Dong Xi. There was a mermaid standing on the chaotic ancient battlefield. The sunlight shone on the painting, and the whole picture seemed to have a broken sense of beauty. There was also a line of ugly words written on the painting. [Madam, I''m leaving. I''m sorry. I started to hide my identity and ruined your choice of husband. If you have any difficulties in the future, send me a message. Don''t be an outsider. Finally, I sincerely wish Madam a good marriage.] Shangguan Yun''er knew that after Dong Xi left, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore. When Shangguan Yun''er found out that Dong Xi was a woman, she did not get angry. Instead, she was very envious of Dong Xi and grateful to her. If not for Dong Xi, Shangguan Yun''er would probably be dead already. Because of the jade slip, Shangguan Yun''er knew that there was actually a woman in the world who could live so freely. Shangguan Yun''er looked at Dong Xi''s back and said, "Goodbye, my Husband." This was thest time Shangguan Yun''er called her husband. Only after Dong Xi had walked far away did Shangguan Yun''er turn around destely. Chapter 489 Eat Grilled Fish Again

Chapter 489 Eat Grilled Fish Again

After Dong Xi left the Shangguan Residence, she went to Cui Liu''s grilled fish shop to eat grilled fish again. This time, Dong Xi could not help but secretly look for Cui Liu. "Brother Liu, how did you grill this grilled fish? Why doesn''t my grilled fish have the effect of condensing spiritual energy?" Cui Liu followed them to the Secret Realm and was now much closer to Dong Xi. Hearing Dong Xi''s question, Cui Liu smiled and said, "It''s not a very high-level treasure. It''s just a kind of spirit nt from the Dwarf race. When Fellow Daoist Dong Xi is free in the future, you cane to our ce to take a look." "I''ll definitely go in the future," Dong Xi said with a smile. Tie Zhu was still reluctant to part with her. Dong Xi said, "All good things muste to an end. Besides, there''s still themunication jade slip. If there''s a good Secret Realm next time, we can go together." Tie Zhu sighed and patted Cui Liu''s shoulder. "Junior Sister, Long Wei also told us to wait for him." It would have been better if Tie Zhu had not said it. When Dong Xi heard this, she wanted to leave immediately. Dong Xi said, "Hurry up and leave. I don''t want to take him as my disciple." Tie Zhu did not quite understand, but he still followed Dong Xi into the Teleportation Array Formation. Cui Liu was left stunned. After a moment, Cui Liu said, "Junior Sister?" Did he hear wrongly? Why did he suddenly be a female cultivator? ... After they returned, they had to part ways. Tie Zhu needed to return to the Masked Moon Sect, so he took another Teleportation Formation. Dong Xi was not in a hurry to go back. He looked at Rui Ming and said, "Senior Brother, I still have some things to do, so I won''t be going back for now." Now that Rui Ming had recovered his cultivation, he naturally needed to go back and exin to Elder Fu Ming. Rui Ming said, "Alright, I''ll go back first. Be careful." "Alright, Senior Brother, don''t worry. I''ll be careful." Dong Xi watched as Senior Brother Rui Ming returned, then went straight to Destiny Valley. The outside of Destiny Valley was livelier than the Ningtian Sect. Even the busiest shop in Fotai City could notpare to this ce. The line outside Destiny Valley stretched from the mountain gate to the foot of the mountain. The city not far away was also full of people. Fortunately, Dong Xi was very smart. He had changed into the disciple uniform of the Ningtian Sect early on, so she arrived at the entrance of Destiny Valley without any obstruction. When the disciples of Destiny Valley saw that Dong Xi was wearing the uniform of the Ningtian Sect, they were very friendly. "Fellow Daoist, may I know which fellow disciple you have an appointment with?" the disciple asked. "Fellow Daoist Li Li," said Dong Xi directly. The gatekeeping disciple was stunned for a moment before saying, "Martial Uncle Li Li hasn''te out of seclusion yet." Dong Xi was also a little confused. She said, "Then let''s meet Fellow Daoist Mo Han." The disciple''s expression became even more strange. Then, he pointed at the crowd lining up not far away and said, "They all want to see Fellow Daoist Mo Han." Dong Xi nced at the crowd. In the past, Dong Xi had heard that Mo Han was powerful, but she had never experienced it directly. Now that she saw the crowd, Dong Xi knew that Mo Han''s poprity was really high. When Dong Xi was young and ignorant, she actually met a big shot in the jade slip square. Dong Xi even shamelessly sold him a lie. Now, it seemed ridiculous. "Fellow Daoist, if you want to ask for a divination, can you change your Senior Brother?" asked a disciple from Destiny Valley. "Uncle-Master Mo Han only has a divination every month. Even if you queue up, you may not be able to wait." When Dong Xi thought of the time when she had asked Mo Han to read her fortune, she became even more silent. Dong Xi waved his hand and wanted to retreat. Dong Xi said, "Forget it. Pretend I never came." At this moment, two coughs could be heard. Dong Xi looked over and saw a thin person with long hair and extremely fair skin. His eyes were grey. Before Dong Xi could say anything, the two gatekeeping disciples immediately said, "Greetings, Martial Uncle Mo Han." Mo Han did not say anything. He looked at Dong Xi with his defeated eyes and said, "Come with me." Mo Han did not say who it was, but Dong Xi knew that Mo Han was calling her. However, Dong Xi felt that she was not qualified enough for the legendary Daoist Master Mo Han toe out to wee her. Dong Xi looked around and found that no one else was moving. Only then did she take a step forward. Seeing that no one was stopping her, Dong Xi quickly ran over. She even used Earth Shrinking. Mo Han immediately said in surprise, "Li Li gave this movement technique to you?" Dong Xi was stunned, only then did he realize that this Earth Shrinking was just showing off in front of an expert. "Daoist Master Li Li said that I have goodprehension." Of course, Dong Xi could not tell everyone about the deal she made with Li Li. Chapter 490 The Number One Fortune Teller

Chapter 490 The Number One Fortune Teller

However, Dong Xi had a feeling that Mo Han seemed to know everything. He was really the number one fortune teller in the Eastern Continent¡­ Fortunately, Mo Han was not in good health. If Mo Han was healthy, Dong Xi mightin that God was biased. "Follow me," said Mo Han. After saying that, Mo Han turned around and left. Mo Han''s footsteps were a little heavy, like a mortal without spiritual energy, lifeless. However, the rumors about Mo Han made it impossible for people to treat Mo Han as an ordinary person. As soon as the two of them left, the outside exploded. Everyone was guessing who this disciple of the Ningtian Sect that Mo Han had personallye out to wee was. Some said that he was running errands for the Elder of the Ningtian Sect, while others said that they had never seen this person before. Some people even said that she was Daoist Mo Han''s confidante. Immediately, some people said that she was clearly dressed as a man, so how could she be a confidante? ¡­ There were all sorts of things to say, but Dong Xi could not care less at this time. At this time, Dong Xi and Mo Han sat down in the courtyard with a tea set on the table. "Get yourself some water," said Mo Han. When Dong Xi heard this, she was a little surprised. Was this Mo Han''s way of treating guests? Mo Han continued, "I''m blind." Dong Xi immediately poured tea for the top and also poured a cup for Mo Han. Taking advantage of the opportunity of pouring water, Dong Xi secretly nced at Mo Han''s eyes. Mo Han said, "If you want to look, look openly. What''s with the peeking?" Dong Xi was speechless. "You really can''t see it?" Dong Xi said speechlessly. Mo Han smiled. His smile was very beautiful and somewhat unruly. Mo Han said, "I forgot. Fellow Daoist Dong Xi is only at the Foundation Establishment stage right now, so she can''t release her divine sense yet." Dong Xi was speechless. Although what Mo Han said was right, it did not sound good. "What''s the matter?" Mo Han asked. "You want to see me for something?" This Mo Han really did not figure it out with his divination. Dong Xi coughed twice and said guiltily, "Maybe... I should just forget it?" Mo Han''s defeated eyes swept across Dong Xi, and Dong Xi suddenly felt her face tense up. "Speak," said Mo Han. This simple word suddenly made Dong Xi feel a great pressure. "You can''t be angry if I tell you." Dong Xi thought for a moment and said. Mo Han nodded. "I heard that you''re not in good health, so I came." Dong Xi said seriously. When Mo Han heard this, he said in surprise, "Hmm? Can you treat me?" Dong Xi shook her head and said, "I don''t have that much ability. I just feel that your body isn''t in good condition. You need to train your body. If your body is improved, your immune system will be better. Then, you won''t fall sick easily." What''s an immune system? Mo Han had never heard of it. His body had be like this because of the bacsh. Seeing that Mo Han did not speak, Dong Xi continued, "Didn''t you tell me to go to the Void Sea to find the Deep Sea Extreme Ice? I''ve already obtained it. Your body isn''t very good, so I wanted to see if you could also refine your body¡­" As Dong Xi spoke, she took out the Deep Sea Extreme Ice from her storage ring and ced it on the table. Dong Xi had already opened the wooden box that the Fire Tribe Patriarch had given her. It was filled with dozens of pieces, which should be all the Fire Tribe''s possessions. Dong Xi was also thinking about Mo Han''s guidance back then, so she should know how to be grateful. However, Dong Xi was not an Alchemy Grandmaster yet, so he could only send over a piece of Deep Sea Extreme Ice to express her gratitude. Mo Han looked at the Deep Sea Extreme Ice in shock. How could Dong Xi give such a treasure to him just like that? Mo Han was silent for a long time before pushing the Deep Sea Extreme Ice in front of Dong Xi. Mo Han said, "Keep it. I don''t know how to use it." "I can teach you," said Dong Xi immediately. In any case, it was very painful to refine one''s body alone. If two people were together, they could still be partners. Mo Han was about to refuse when he suddenly thought of the chance of survival he had calcted for himself. Thinking of this, Mo Han said, "Alright, Fellow Daoist, wait a moment. I''ll go and tell Master and then leave with you." Dong Xi looked at the departing Mo Han and fell silent again. Actually, Dong Xi¡­ was just saying it casually. Mo Han was the top star of Destiny Valley. How could Mo Han''s Master let Mo Han leave with Dong Xi, this unknown disciple? Dong Xi felt that it was impossible, so she poured the tea calmly and drank it contentedly. Before Mo Han returned, an uninvited guest came to her instead. "You''re the female cultivator who came to find Senior Brother Mo Han?" Holding the teacup, Dong Xi turned around and saw a slender female cultivator with a somewhat familiar face. This girl seemed... very simr to Senior Brother Li Li. Chapter 491 You Know My Brother?

Chapter 491 You Know My Brother?

"That''s right, it''s me. What''s your rtionship with Senior Brother Li Li?" said Dong Xi. Dong Xi''s friendly manner stunned Li Yao. Li Yao quickly walked to Dong Xi''s side and said, "What? You know my brother?" Dong Xi smiled and said, "I don''t just know him. I have a very good rtionship with your brother. If your brother wasn''t in seclusion and knew that I was here, he would definitelye back to look for me." Thinking back to the time when Li Li had been following her around, Dong Xi felt a little emotional. Li Yao nced at Dong Xi''s expression and said, "That''s impossible, you''re just a female cultivator. I''ve never seen my brother have a particrly good rtionship with anyone." When Dong Xi heard this, she gave Li Yao a haughty look. Dong Xi thought about the book. In the book, surely Li Yao was a side character, just some cannon fodder. However, the original book only talked about Dong Rou. Li Li and his sister were not mentioned at all. Dong Xi smiled and looked at Li Yao. Dong Xi said innocently, "Then have you seen any female cultivator who is Mo Han''s guest of honor? One who would even be served team by Mo Han?" As Dong Xi spoke, she raised her teacup and showed it to Li Yao. When Li Yan saw this, she instantly exploded. This teacup was previously given to Senior Brother Mo Han by his master. Senior Brother Mo Han had never used this move on behalf of others. And this tea leaf was specially found by the Sect Master to stabilize Mo Han''s body. Why should this female cultivator drink it? Li Yao snatched the teacup and said fiercely, "Who are you? How dare you drink my Senior Brother''s tea leaves?" Dong Xi was not angry. She just smiled and said, "You see, not just everyone can drink Daoist Mo Han''s tea, but some people can¡­ How infuriating!" Dong Xi suddenly recalled the time when she was reading the novel. Why did the plot of the Li Li siblings not appear? Perhaps it was because of Li Li''s sister''s personality, she might not live until Dong Rou appeared¡­ "You¡­" Li Yao shouted angrily. Li Yao took the teacup and sshed the tea at Dong Xi. Dong Xi casually waved her hand and put on a protective shield to block the tea. Dong Xi said mockingly, "Senior Brother Li Li is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Why haven''t you broken through to the Golden Core stage yet? Fellow Daoist, cultivation is not easy. If you don''t advance, you will fall behind. If you work hard and cultivate, your cultivation will be yours. However, nothing will change even if you see Mo Han thousands of times." Perhaps thest sentence just hit Li Yao''s heart. Li Yao shouted even more angrily, "If I can''t do it, do you think you can do it? Who do you think you are?" "Nheless, Mo Han will leave with me." Dong Xi said. When Li Yao heard this, she could not help but pull out her sword and stab at Dong Xi. However, as soon as the longsword was pulled out, it was sent flying by a stream of spiritual energy. Then, there was a violent cough. Li Yao and Dong Xi looked over at the same time. Mo Han was clutching his chest and coughing non-stop. There was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. When Li Yao saw this scene, she immediately panicked. Li Yao said, "Senior Brother¡­You can''t use spiritual energy. How could you forget? Is this female cultivator worth your protection?" Li Yao became more and more upset, her eyes filled with tears. Mo Han wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and used a cleaning spell on himself. Mo Han said, "Li Yao, don''te here anymore in the future." Li Yao was stunned and looked at Mo Han in disbelief. Li Yao said, "Senior Brother, can you repeat that?" Li Yao pointed at Dong Xi and Li Yao and said miserably, "You want to burn the bridge with me for a female cultivator you just met?" Mo Han did not say anything. Dong Xi said, "Idiot, if youe a few more times, you might kill Mo Han. Do you not use your brain? All you can think about is love? Is your Senior Brother''s life so worthless in your eyes?" Li Yao pointed her sword at Dong Xi and said, "You don''t have to sow discord here." "You don''t even know my identity, let alone why I''m here, yet you''re making things difficult for me. Just because I''m a female cultivator?" Dong Xi sneered. "Would you believe me if I told you that I''m here today to treat Mo Han and that I don''t want to treat Mo Han after you made such a fuss?" Li Yao was stunned, and her hands trembled. Dong Xi continued, "You''re lucky I''m the one who came today. If a powerful female cultivator were toe one day, she would directly harm Destiny Valley because of your jealousy. At that time, it would be toote for you to die to atone for your sins. Mo Han isn''t blind, so do you think he will like you when he sees your terrible attitude? When he sees your sword moves that are full of loopholes? Or that you don''t have a brain?" Li Yao was so angry that she was about to make a move when she was stopped by the guards who rushed over. Chapter 492 Satisfied?

Chapter 492 Satisfied?

Mo Han waved his hand and let the guards take Li Yao away. Mo Han said, "In the future, whoever dares to let Li Yao in will leave Destiny Valley." Dong Xi watched as Li Yao was forcefully taken out and then looked at Mo Han. Dong Xi suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. Mo Han actually seemed a little happy. When Dong Xi thought of this, she could not help but say, "Fellow Daoist Mo Han, are you satisfied with your scolding?" "Not bad," said Mo Han. Dong Xi smiled and said, "You people are so obsessed with your reputation that you have to suffer. Your Junior Sister is like this today because of your indulgence. She really thinks everyone in the world is here to serve her!" When Mo Han heard this, he just smiled and coughed even more violently. Blood gushed out like a fountain. Mo Han covered his mouth, and blood flowed out between his fingers. Dong Xi''s expression changed. She immediately took out the Vitality Reinforcement Pill from her storage ring and let Mo Han eat it. Dong Xi raised her hand and injected the wood spiritual Qi into Mo Han''s body. Although Dong Xi had known Mo Han before, they had never met before. Dong Xi did not dare to personally control the spiritual energy to heal him, like she did with the Big Snake. In the end, he could only inject the wood spiritual Qi into Mo Han''s body and let Mo Han heal himself. Even so, Mo Han stopped coughing and the blood did not continue to spurt out. Dong Xi retracted her hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, you''re actually so weak. I can''t take you away either. If something happens, I won''t be able to exin it to Destiny Valley." Mo Han shook his head. Just as he was about to cast a cleaning spell on himself, Dong Xi did it for him first. Mo Han said, "I don''t need you to exin. I won''t live long. The Eastern Continent knows about this." Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. Mo Han continued, "You want to teach me body tempering? Would I be able to live longer if my body was better?" Dong Xi frowned. She really could not rebut this logic, but¡­ "Your body is so weak, so you can''t refine your body!" Deep Sea Extreme Ice could only be used at the thirdyer of Body Refining Tier. However, Mo Han''s body had already deteriorated to this state. Could he persist until the thirdyer of Body Refining Tier? Mo Han lowered his head and his face could not be seen clearly. He said, "It''s okay. It''s good to live for two more days." Dong Xi saw this kind of destion and instantly felt sympathy for him. Forget it, I''ll do my best and leave the rest to fate. Dong Xi tried her best. How long he could live depended on the will of heaven. It was said that Mo Han was now more than 200 years old, which was more than 100 years older than ordinary people. Dong Xi left Destiny Valley with Mo Han. For Mo Han''s sake, Destiny Valley even sent a carriage to send the two of them back to the Ningtian Sect. Dong Xi had just enough money left to pay for the Teleportation Array Formation. She was very satisfied with Destiny Valley''s tactful attitude. At this moment, Rui Ming had flown back and transformed into a human to appear in front of Elder Fu Ming. Elder Fu Ming was stunned for a moment before he said, "I thought I picked up a disciple, but I didn''t expect his cultivation to be even higher than mine." Rui Ming obediently knelt down. Rui Ming said, "A teacher for a day is a father for life. No matter what cultivation level Rui Ming has, you are still Rui Ming''s Master." Elder Fu Ming waved his hand and injected spiritual energy into Rui Ming''s body. Rui Ming did not resist and allowed Elder Fu Ming''s spiritual energy to explore his body. After checking, Elder Fu Ming withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Not bad. You''ve gained a lot from this trip. It''s just that your heart is very weak now, but it will grow very quickly. When that timees, you''ll be back to your peak, and you''ll be able to fly freely." As he said that, Elder Fu Ming thought of something. Elder Fu Ming said, "How did you deal with the thief who stole your heart?" "I''ve epted him as a servant," said Rui Ming. "He almost caused you to lose your life. Why did you let me off so easily after suffering such a great crime?" Elder Fu Ming asked with a puzzled expression. Rui Ming said seriously, "Master, although this thief dug out my heart, he still saved my life. I was destined to die. That day, I was harmed by a traitor and was seriously injured. If those traitors found me, I would definitely die. This thief took me away from the ind and helped me escape from death. Although he did it for his own selfish desires, I also benefited¡­" Elder Fu Ming sighed and said, "That''s right. Forget it. Since you''ve already taken in a servant, you can let him pay off his debt slowly. Also, where did that girl Dong Xi go? Didn''t she go to the Void Sea with you, so why didn''t shee back with you?" "Dong Xi said she needed to go to Destiny Valley." ... Dong Xi sat in the carriage provided by Destiny Valley and ate the fruit specially prepared for Mo Han. Dong Xi said, "Your Qi and blood are all weak now, so you can''t take any supplements. These are all great supplements. Since your stomach isn''t great, you should eat less. I have a good stomach, so I''ll help you eat them so they don''t go to waste." Chapter 493 Healing

Chapter 493 Healing

? Mo Han did not care at all. The current Mo Han had long lost his appetite. "Eat more and treat my illness again after you''re full, okay?" Mo Han said. Looking at Mo Han''s appearance, it was obvious that he knew the benefits of Dong Xi''s wood spiritual Qi. However, when Mo Han said that, Dong Xi immediately thought of the time when she was treating the Big Snake and the time when she was controlled by the Big Snake. "No, my treatment is very expensive, and you didn''t give me any money," Dong Xi immediately said. Mo Han said, "My divination is also very expensive, but you didn''t give me any money." "But I''ve given you the Deep Sea Extreme Ice, so we''re even now." Dong Xi said. Mo Han thought for a moment and said, "When my body is better, I can perform divination for you anytime." "?" Why did this lie sound so familiar? "No matter what, you''re the future star of Destiny Valley. Don''t tell me you can''t afford to pay for the consultation?" Dong Xi said. "Is there a need to give me false promises?" "It''s not that I can''t afford it," Mo Han said. "I just think that Fellow Daoist doesn''t like thosemon things." Dong Xi was speechless. Of course, she liked them. Dong Xi was ayman, so of course she liked them. Mo Han also seemed to see through Dong Xi''s thoughts. Mo Han said helplessly, "Fine, is one spirit vein enough as the consultation fee?" As soon as Mo Han finished speaking, Dong Xi had already begun to take Mo Han''s pulse. Dong Xi said, "Yes, absolutely enough. Fellow Daoist is generous. Do you need a private order?" When Mo Han heard this sentence, it sounded familiar. Mo Han said, "Hmm? What is a private order?" Dong Xi said, "I''ll control my spiritual energy to help you sort out your meridians." Letting another person control spiritual energy in the body was a very dangerous thing. If this person had any bad thoughts, it would cause great harm. Dong Xi was just saying it casually, so it did not matter whether Mo Han agreed or not. After Mo Han heard it, he thought for a moment and said, "That''s fine. You can try it first. If the effect is good, the consultation fee can be increased." When Dong Xi heard this, her eyes immediately widened. Dong Xi said, "No problem. Just watch. The effect will definitely be excellent." Dong Xi was afraid that Mo Han might regret it and retract his promise. She put down the fruit and raised her hand to treat Mo Han. Dong Xi controlled the spiritual energy to circte around Mo Han''s body. Dong Xi frowned. As expected of Mo Han, who even Destiny''s Valley best could not do anything about. His situation was indeed not very optimistic. It was even harder to deal with than the poison in the Big Snake''s body. Dong Xi had tried to repair Mo Han''s meridians countless times, but no matter how hard she tried, Mo Han''s meridians would still break, as if there was some kind of power that was specifically destroying them. When she encountered such a situation, Dong Xi also went against it. She repaired it repeatedly. The fine meridians were repaired countless times, and their toughness seemed to have be stronger. They did not break again. Dong Xi immediately heaved a sigh of relief and stopped. There was already a thinyer of sweat on her forehead. The spiritual energy that had increased a lot because of the breakthrough was almost used up. Dong Xi ate the supreme-grade Spirit Restore Pill to replenish some of her spiritual energy. Then, she picked up the spirit fruit and ate it again. "It''s not easy to earn your consultation fees!" Dong Xi said as she ate. At this time, Mo Han had not noticed the changes in his meridians. He only instinctively felt that after Dong Xi''s spiritual energy was sorted out, it was not as painful. Now that he heard Dong Xi say this, Mo Han smiled and said, "The more you work, the more you get." The carriage soon arrived at the Ningtian Sect. When the Ningtian Sect disciples saw the carriage, they immediately reported to the Sect Master, who sent his Head Disciple to wee them. However, no one would have thought that the person who got off the carriage would be Dong Xi. "Junior Sister, why why are you here?" the Head Disciple asked in surprise. When Dong Xi saw the Head Disciple of the Sect Master, she felt very close to him. Dong Xi said, "Senior Brother, long time no see. I was wondering about the reward you promised me¡­" The Head Disciple was speechless. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Junior Sister, your memory is still as good as ever." Dong Xi smiled and said, "I may not remember the rest, but I dare not the important things." "I''ve already settled it," the Head Disciple said. "In a few days, the points will be distributed. I''ll personally send it to Junior Sister." When Dong Xi heard this, she said excitedly, "Thank you, Senior Brother. It''s a deal!" While the two were talking, Mo Han also came down. When the Head Disciple saw the iconic white hair, he was shocked. The Head Disciple said, "Daoist Master Mo Han?" Mo Han nodded. The Head Disciple looked at Dong Xi in confusion. What was Junior Sister doing? Why did Daoist Master Mo Hane back with them? "I''m sorry for the sudden visit," said Mo Han. Chapter 494 Admiring Mo Han for a Long Time

Chapter 494 Admiring Mo Han for a Long Time

The Head Disciple of the Sect Master immediately said, "Daoist Mo Han is too polite. It''s the honor of the Ningtian Sect for you toe to our sect. I''ve admired Daoist Mo Han for a long time. I wonder if Daoist Mo Han will be staying with us during this period of time..." Mo Han interrupted the words of the Head Disciple. Mo Han said, "You don''t have to be so polite. I''m here to seek advice from Fellow Daoist Dong Xi. I''ll just stay on Fellow Daoist Dong Xi''s mountain peak." The Head Disciple was speechless. He even started to be curious about his junior sister. Is Daoist Mo Han going to live at the foot of Dong Xi''s mountain? Moreover, I heard that Master Li Li broke through after leaving the foot of Dong Xi''s mountain and returning to Destiny Valley. Why were they all here to look for Dong Xi? Could it be that there was something magical about Dong Xi? The Head Disciple could not figure it out for a while. While he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded. This person said, "Master, why did you deceive me¡­" This resentful voice seemed very familiar? Dong Xi suddenly had a bad premonition and instinctively looked over. Dong Xi was instantly stunned on the spot. "Long Wei, why are you here?" Dong Xi asked. Long Wei brought Qing Niao with him. He said, "Master, you secretly ran away. I was unloved and abandoned, so naturally, I came looking for you!" Mo Han suddenly looked like he was watching a good show. "Junior Sister, when did you take in a disciple?" asked the Sect Master''s Head Disciple. ording to the sect rules, one could not establish their own sect before reaching the Golden Core realm." The words of the Head Disciple were like a life-saving straw. "Long Wei, you heard it. I can''t do anything about the sect''s rules." Dong Xi immediately said. Long Wei said with a sad face, "I don''t care. I can be a fairy boy first. When you reach the Golden Core stage, you can take me as your disciple. ording to Master''s ability, it should only be three to five years. I can still wait as a disciple." Dong Xi was speechless. This was also the first time Dong Xi had encountered such an entanglement. Of course, she still had some doubts. "Long Wei, how did you know I was here?" Dong Xi asked. Dong Xi had always been very careful outside. She had never left any evidence behind and would not let anyone know that she was a disciple of the Ningtian Sect. However, Long Wei hade. What was going on? With a smile on his face, he said proudly, "This is my secret technique, Thousand Mile Tracking." When Dong Xi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She felt that this ability was very good. Dong Xi immediately smiled. When Long Wei saw Dong Xi smile like this, Long Wei felt his eyelids twitch wildly, but he did not know why. "Long Wei, why don''t I take you as my Master?" Dong Xi asked. "I think your secret technique is quite good¡­" The Head Disciple was speechless. Mo Han was speechless. Long Wei was speechless. Everyone knew that Dong Xi did not y by the rules, but this was too ridiculous. Long Wei was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "This can''t be taught. This is the innate skill of our race." After saying that, Long Wei winked and said, "Master, why don''t you ept me? If you want to find anything in the future, I''ll help you find it?" Dong Xi was silent. She had to admit that she was actually a little tempted. But in the end, Dong Xi said, "No way." Long Wei immediately felt like crying. Wasn''t this apprenticeship too difficult? Long Wei thought, ''Although I''m a littlezy, it''s not that bad, right?'' At this moment, the usually silent and taciturn Mo Han said, "Fellow Daoist Dong Xi, if I were you, I would ept it." Dong Xi looked at Mo Han in surprise. Dong Xi frowned and thought for a moment. In the end, Dong Xi said, "Then let''s try." Long Wei was stunned on the spot. When he came back to his senses, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Dong Xi stopped him and said, "There''s no need to be happy so early. I''m very strict when ites to epting disciples. Not everyone cane to our Ningtian Sect''s Lingxu Peak." Long Wei said confidently, "Master, you can test me." "As long as you don''t regret it," Dong Xi said meaningfully. Seeing that they had settled the matter so quickly, the Head Disciple frowned and said, "Little Junior Sister, the sect rules state that no one below the Golden Core stage is allowed to take in disciples." Dong Xi said, "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother. I''ll keep it in mind. Senior Brother, you''ll also have to give me 600 million more points. Junior Sister is relying on those few points to survive." The head disciple did not know what to say. He could not tell Dong Xi that he had forgotten in front of a few outsiders. "Let''s go in first. We can''t let the guests chat at the door." Long Wei obediently followed behind Dong Xi while Qing Niao was chased back by Long Wei. Chapter 495 Don’t Worry

Chapter 495 Don''t Worry

Long Wei asked Qing Niao to go back and tell the old man at home that he had already found his Master so that the old man did not have to worry. After all, the Ningtian Sect was a Righteous sect. It was indeed a good thing for the Young Master to enter the Ningtian Sect. Moreover, the matter of the Young Master entering the Ningtian Sect was veryplicated. It could not be exined in a few words. Qing Niao needed to go back and help the Young Master exin it to the family. Most importantly, it was impossible for the Qing Niao to enter the Ningtian Sect¡­ Dong Xi''s Immortal cave could not amodate so many people, so she could only shamelessly ask Senior Sister Wang Ying to arrange rooms for two outer sect disciples. The Head Disciple was stunned when he saw this scene. After a long time, the Head Disciple said, "Little Junior Sister, is the spiritual energy sparse in the outer sect disciples'' area? If Daoist Master Mo Han stays there, isn''t it too neglectful?" Dong Xi did not think that way. She felt that the small wooden house of the outer sect disciples had a garden, which was more suitable for recuperation¡­ Especially since Mo Han could not use his spiritual energy, wasn''t it better to live there? Dong Xi looked at Long Wei and said, "You can do whatever the other disciples do, and I won''t care about you. There''s only one rule, you''re at the seventh level of Qi Refinement now. If you don''t reach the eighth level of Qi Refinement in a month, you''ll pack up and get lost immediately." After Dong Xi finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Long Wei, Mo Han, and the Sect Master''s Head Disciple stunned on the spot. The Sect Master''s Head Disciple said in embarrassment, "My little Junior Sister is not very sensible and doesn''t understand human rtions. Daoist Mo Han, please don''t me her." "Thank you for your kindness, but I think this ce is good, so there''s no need to trouble yourself." The Head Disciple could not persuade them, so he could only let Mo Han and the others stay there. When there were only Long Wei and Mo Han, Long Wei bowed to Mo Han and said excitedly, "Thank you for speaking up for me." Although Long Wei did not know Mo Han''s background, if it was not for Mo Han''s words just now, Dong Xi definitely would not have taken Long Wei as a disciple. Mo Han smiled and said, " You''re wee. It''s just a piece of cake. Whether you can seed or not depends on your own efforts." Hearing Mo Han''s words, Long Wei was a little discouraged. He said, "One month¡­ How can this be enough? Master must not want to take me in, that''s why she''s making things difficult for me." Mo Han said from the side, "It''s not to make things difficult for you. You will understand in the future." After Mo Han said that, he turned around and entered his small courtyard. Long Wei returned to another room and looked around. He turned around and saw someone practicing fist techniques not far away. Long Wei recalled that his Master had said that whatever others did, Long Wei would follow. Long Wei walked out. What should he practice? Long Wei''s fancy punches and fancy moves were not worth mentioning here. On the contrary, that disciple had only punched out one move and, and he did it a single move for 25 minutes. Long Wei also practiced punching for a long time. Seeing that person stop, Long Wei immediately went over and said enthusiastically, "Senior Brother, which sect are you from?" When this disciple heard this, he looked at Long Wei in confusion. The disciple said, "Alchemy Sect, Junior Brother, did you go berserk? No, why haven''t I seen you before? Could it be that the demons are invading?" As soon as this disciple finished speaking, he looked at Long Wei warily. Long Wei immediately said, "No, I was just brought back by Master Dong Xi today. It''s my first day in the sect, so I''m not familiar with this ce. I''m not from the Demon race¡­ Senior Brother, look at my Righteousness." Hearing this, this disciple looked at Long Wei in confusion for a long time. This disciple said, "That''s true. It''s not strange for Senior Sister Dong Xi to do things like this." Long Wei took out a middle-grade spirit stone and handed it over. Long Wei said, "Senior Brother, this is a little token of my appreciation. Please ept it. There are still many things that I don''t understand. I wonder if Senior Brother has the time to exin them to me?" When the disciple saw the spirit stones, his expression immediately improved. The disciple said, "What is it? I''ll just rest for a while. Time is tight, so let''s talk quickly." "I''m very curious. Isn''t this the Alchemy Sect?" said Long Wei. "Why have you been practicing your fighting?" The disciple smiled and said, "Senior Sister Dong Xi said that only by being strong can we fight for more resources. If outer sect disciples like us want to enter the inner sect, there''s only one way. We have to pass the sectpetition. The sectpetition has already ended, but we must get a good ranking in the next sectpetition." When Long Wei heard this, he secretly clicked his tongue. Long Wei said, "Then when are you going to practice your fist technique?" The disciple said, "At night. I refine pills in the morning, practice boxing in the afternoon, and cultivate at night. I feel refreshed the next day!" Long Wei was speechless. Chapter 496 Never Suffered

Chapter 496 Never Suffered

Long Wei was having a headache now. He had lived for more than twenty years and had never suffered before. Long Wei said, "Senior Brother, you''re really amazing. You''re so hardworking. You''ll definitely enter the inner sect in the next sectpetition." The disciple sighed and said, "This is nothing. All the disciples of the Ningtian Sect are like this. The Alchemy Sect also needs to refine pills, so it''s not that tiring. The disciples of the Sword Sect next door all treat themselves as magic tools to cultivate." After saying that, the disciple looked at Long Wei and continued, "Senior Martial Sister Dong Xi is especially hardworking. She works harder than anyone else, which is why she reached Foundation Establishment three years after entering the sect. She''s a role model for us." Long Wei was speechless. When Long Wei heard this, he was instantly stunned. Then, he said, "What did you just say? How long has my Master been cultivating for? How old is she now?" The disciple said with a fanatical look, "Senior Sister Dong Xi entered the sect at ten years old and reached the Foundation Establishment stage after three years of cultivation. Now, half a year has passed, so she''s only 13 and a half years old." Long Wei felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Long Wei knew that Dong Xi was powerful, but he did not expect her to be this powerful. Thinking of Dong Xi''s alchemy skills, body tempering, and sword arts¡­ Dong Xi had only entered the Ningtian Sect for three and a half years. What¡­ What kind of talent was that? Long Wei faintly felt that this time, he really had to hug her thigh! In the future, if he followed his Master well, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the cultivation world sooner orter. Long Wei politely thanked him and excitedly returned to the small wooden house. As soon as he entered, Long Wei immediately took out amunication jade slip and sent a message to the old man at home. [Old man, I''ve really won over someone this time.] Long Wei''s grandfather quickly sent a voice message. Long Wei''s grandfather said, "Who did you meet that would make you break the family rules?" "I have a Master now. You can''t beat me up even if you want to." When Long Wei thought of Dong Xi, he immediately straightened his back. Long Wei''s grandfather sent a voice message and said disdainfully, "It''s still uncertain whether that Master of yours wants you or not. You''re the one who got excited first. I thought that you would find someone powerful. Isn''t she just a Foundation Establishment cultivator¡­" Hearing this, Long Wei was instantly very unhappy. Long Wei said in the voice chat, "So what if she''s in the Foundation Establishment stage? My Master''s future is boundless." Long Wei''s grandfather said in a dissatisfied voice, "You brat, what kind of bewitching drug did your so-called Master give you? Why do you worship her so much?" "No, my Master is very powerful!" Long Wei retorted. "Hmm?" Grandpa Long Wei said. "Tell me, how powerful can she be?" When Long Wei heard this question, he immediately became spirited. Long Wei said, "Although my master is only in the Foundation Establishment stage, she''s only 13 years old!" Long Wei''s grandfather was speechless. After a long silence, Long Wei''s grandpa said, "Little Wei, you can''t joke around like that. Those who reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 13 are all unique geniuses." Long Wei immediately said, "I''m not joking with you. Master entered the Ningtian Sect when she was ten years old. He has only cultivated for three and a half years now. No matter what, I have to take him as my Master. It''s useless no matter what you say." After saying that, Long Wei put away the jade slip and no longer spoke to his grandfather. On the other side, Long Wei''s grandpa was extremely shocked as he held the jade slip. She had reached the Foundation Establishment realm in just over three years? How could the Ningtian Sect agree to let such a genius take in a disciple? He was afraid that Long Wei''s hope would be dashed. Long Wei''s grandpa sighed lightly and finally acquiesced to this matter. Regardless of whether or not he seeded in bing getting her to be his Master, he would at least be familiar with her. Such a genius had a long road ahead of her. In the future, if Long Wei encountered any difficulties, she could also give him some guidance. It would not be in vain for Long Wei to worship that Master so much. Dong Xi did not know about Long Wei''s bragging at home. At this time, Dong Xi had already gone to find Daoist Master Yi Kun of the Sword Sect. Master Yi Kun said, "Oh?" I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be Daoist Yijian''s disciple." Dong Xi smiled and cupped his fists. "Uncle-Master, long time no see. I''m sorry for distrubing you." "What do you mean by disturbing me?" Daoist Master Yi Kun waved his hand and said, "I hope you cane here every day to provoke my evil disciples." Dong Xi immediately became serious. "Martial Uncle, this disciple went out this time and encountered a ghost cultivator in a Secret Realm." Hearing Dong Xi mention ghost cultivators, Master Yi Kun''s expression also became serious. Dong Xi continued, "I talked to the ghost cultivators and tried to get information about Senior Sister. These ghost cultivators were very enthusiastic. They said that Senior Sister''s cultivation was very high and that she was from the same sect as them. Moreover, she was a disciple of a Ghost King¡­" The ''Senior Sister'' that Dong Xi was talking about was also Master Yi Kun''s beloved disciple. Back then, she was ambushed by the Green Cloud Sect and died. Later, the Sect Master found out the truth of the murder and agreed to gather the soul of this disciple. It was also this Senior Sister that provided evidence. Chapter 497 Don’t Worry

Chapter 497 Don''t Worry

This Senior Sister had also sessfully be a ghost cultivator after gathering her soul. Now that Daoist Master Yi Kun heard Dong Xi say that it was good, he was very relieved. Daoist Master Yi Kun said, "This is also very good. I''m very relieved. Thank you for still remembering Senior Sister." "Martial Uncle is too polite. It was nothing," Dong Xi said. As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from outside. "I heard that my disciple has returned." Dong Xi immediately turned around and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master." "You remember me now?" Daoist Yijian snorted coldly. He had already returned yesterday and had onlye today. Shouldn''t you be paying your respects first? Is it right for you to be a disciple like this?" Dong Xi immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, don''t be angry. I came back toote yesterday and didn''t want to disturb you. I came immediately today." "It''s fine if that old thing Lingxu was one step ahead of me, but why is Yi Kun one step ahead of me?" Daoist Yijian asked. "Because I happened to know about Senior Sister, so I wanted to tell Senior Uncle Yi Kun immediately," said Dong Xi. Only then did Yijian restrain himself a little. Daoist Yijian said, "Oh? How is your Senior Sister? Is she okay?" "She''s alright. I heard from the ghost cultivator that she''s also worshiped a powerful Ghost King now. It''s a good thing." Master Yi Kun looked at Master Yijian and said, "What''s wrong? When you heard that your disciple had returned, you immediately came over?" Daoist Yijian did not pay any attention to it, and he simply took out the token and gave it to Dong Xi. The token looked like it was made of stone, but it was hot in his hand. Dong Xi almost missed it. Dong Xi looked at the token. There was only one word on it. "What''s this, Master?" Dong Xi asked curiously. Daoist Yijian said, "The me Patriarch sent an invitation. He said that the zing me Valley''s Fire Festival ising soon. He wants me to go and have some fun. At that time, everyone will bring the younger generation to take a look. This time, you will go with me." Dong Xi''s eyes lit up when she heard this. She had just obtained the Deep Sea Extreme Ice and wanted to find a ce with fire spiritual energy to test it out. This zing me Valley sounded very good. Dong Xi was overjoyed. He cupped his fists and said, "Disciple thanks Master for your guidance." Daoist Yijian snorted lightly and said, "It''s good that you know. I always think of you, little girl. Anything good that I have, I will think of you. You didn''t evene back to see me first. It really doesn''t make sense. Can you swing your sword for 6,000 times?" "Sure!" Dong Xi said firmly. To Dong Xi, it was really simple. Dong Xi stood in the Gravitational Ground and began to swing her sword. The disciples who came and went all knew Dong Xi and greeted her warmly. Dong Xi was shocked to discover why¡­The hairstyles of the Sword Sect''s Senior Sisters and junior sisters had be balls and high ponytails? Each of them was indeed valiant and valiant, but they werepletely different from before. More and more people came here. Dong Xi felt that there was no ce for her to wield her sword. When she was almost done wit the 6,000 sword strikes, Dong Xi put away her sword and went to take a bath. By the time she came out of the bath, it was already sunset. Dong Xi was in a good mood and happily returned to her own mountain. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a white-haired man standing in front of the door. Perhaps it was because he heard Dong Xi''s voice, but this person turned around and looked at Dong Xi. There was no fluctuation in his gray eyes, but there was a hint of usation on his face. "Fellow Daoist Dong Xi, I''ve waited so long!" Mo Han said. "Why are you here?" Dong Xi immediately asked. "What is it?" When Mo Han heard this, he was very speechless. Mo Han said, "Fellow Daoist, you invited me here and left me in the outer sect? Don''t tell me to practice? Could it be empty talk? I trust you so much. Fine, forget it, I''ll go back to my sect tomorrow." When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately said, "No, I went to the Sword Sect to pay a visit to Master today. Master asked me to swing my sword for 6,000 times before returning¡­ Don''t be angry. I''ll teach you now." "Sure, where do I start?" Mo Han said seriously. Dong Xi touched the cultivation technique that the Big Snake had given her and thought of the instructions the Big Snake had given her. This cultivation method could not be given to outsiders, so Dong Xi took out another body tempering cultivation method. Dong Xi handed the cultivation method to Mo Han and said, "Hmm, take a look at this cultivation technique first. It''s not a good cultivation technique, but use it first. I''ll change it for you in the future if there''s a suitable one." Mo Han took the cultivation method and began to check it with his spiritual sense. After a moment, Mo Han nodded and agreed. Any body cultivator who wanted to cultivate would have to start from the carrying of weights. Dong Xi set a goal for Mo Han and said, "Tomorrow, you cane to my ce from the outer sect." Chapter 498 Is It Too Much?

Chapter 498 Is It Too Much?

When Mo Han heard Dong Xi say this, he frowned. Mo Han said, "Is it too much?" "Not at all." Dong Xi shook her head. After saying that, Dong Xi looked at Mo Han''s hair and continued, "Your white hair is too ostentatious. Too many people know that the white-haired Daoist is Mo Han, which is not good." "What should I do then?" Mo Han asked. Dong Xi rolled her eyes and revealed a wicked smile. She said, "How about... Dye your hair?" Mo Han was speechless. Mo Han felt that he should be going crazy. He actually agreed to let Dong Xi dye her hair? Of course, in Mo Han''s knowledge, Dong Xi was probably crazy too. She actually dyed his hair red? Could it be that in Dong Xi''s eyes, red hair was not more eye-catching? Mo Han looked at the mirror, his eyes full of resentment, wishing he could kill Dong Xi right now. Dong Xi was very satisfied. She pped her hands and used a cleaning spell. Dong Xi looked at Mo Han and said, "Not bad. It''s indeed beautiful. It makes me want to dye my hair red." In the Immortal Cultivation world, hair dye cream was made from all kinds of spirit nts in the cultivation room, so it would not dye hair. Mo Han did not know if he would still be angry after Dong Xi said that. Dong Xi continued, "You can go back now. Come back tomorrow. Remember to circte the cultivation method I gave you when you run." When Mo Han came the next day, he happened to meet Chi Yan and Ke Xin. Chi Yan was just one step away from breaking through. The reason why Chi Yan came to look for Dong Xi this time was firstly because he had not seen her for a long time and wanted to catch up. The second was that Chi Yan wanted to go home. Chi Yan''s n had a n''s inheritance ground. When she broke through, she needed to go to the inheritance ground to break through. She would benefit more. Ke Xin was also at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage. Although she could notpare to Dong Xi and Chi Yan, she was still considered a genius among the same batch of disciples. At this time, Ke Xin could already face the gap between the two of them, but she still could not help but be attracted by Mo Han not far away. Ke Xin pointed at Mo Han and said, "Sister, what is that?" Dong Xi and Chi Yan looked over at the same time and were both stunned. When Mo Han ran closer, Dong Xi finally saw it. She did not expect that the red hair would be so dazzling under the sun, almost blinding her eyes. "He''s a guest. Please be more polite," Dong Xi coughed lightly. The two nodded honestly and Mo Han ran over. Mo Han''s face had always been very pale. It was unknown whether it was because of running or because of his red hair, but Mo Han''s face looked good and there was a blush on his face. Mo Han had just reached Dong Xi''s side, but before he could say anything, he started coughing again. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Chi Yan and Ke Xin were both frightened, but Dong Xi calmly took out a top-grade Vitality Reinforcement Pill and fed it to Mo Han. Dong Xi used a cleaning spell and said, "Not bad, there''s a lot less blood today, continue to work hard." Mo Han looked at Dong Xi''s face and saw a gloating expression. "Little Xi, who is this?" Ke Xin asked worriedly. "He''s already vomiting blood. Hurry up and let him rest for a while." "You know this person too. He''s the one who told our fortunes in Destiny Valley." Ke Xin suddenly thought of something and said in shock, "Ask him to continue running. He didn''t even tell my fortune back then, so I won''t speak up for him." Chi Yan looked at Mo Han''s eyes and said, "These eyes¡­" "I''m blind," said Mo Han lightly. "I''m sorry," Chi Yan said apologetically. Mo Han did not care, and Dong Xi did not care either. Seeing that Mo Han was taking the opportunity to ck off, Dong Xi immediately said, "Hurry up and run. You can''t rest. If you rest, you''ll run for nothing." Mo Han had just run a few steps when Dong Xi thought of something and shouted, "Little Han." Mo Han was speechless. This name¡­ He was really at a loss. Dong Xi saw Mo Han turn around and threw the porcin bottle over. Dong Xi said, "Take it well. If you vomit blood, take the pills. Don''t feel bad. The Alchemy Sect doesn''t have anything else but pills!" After Mo Han ran far away, Chi Yan looked at Dong Xi and said, "Is he from Destiny Valley?" "That''s right. He wanted to follow me to refine his body, so I brought him back." Dong Xi nodded. "With such a high cultivation, he followed you to refine his body?" Chi Yan asked in surprise. When Dong Xi heard this, she asked in puzzlement, "What cultivation realm?" Dong Xi really did not know, nor did she ask Mo Han. She just knew that Mo Han was very powerful. Chi Yan shook her head and said, "I don''t know either. I can only see someone who is two major cultivation realms higher than me. This person is at least at the Golden Core stage." When Ke Xin heard this, she immediately gasped, while Dong Xi remained calm. Chapter 499 His Cultivation Level Should Be High

Chapter 499 His Cultivation Level Should Be High

After all, Mo Han was famous in the cultivation world and his cultivation level should be high. Thinking of this, Dong Xi could not help but click his tongue. It was indeed rare to see someone with such a high cultivation level suffer so miserably. Of course, this was not an exception. The snake was the same. When Ke Xin heard their conversation, she said, "The color of your hair is not bad. It''s fiery red." As soon as Ke Xin finished speaking, Dong Xi grabbed her hand, her eyes filled with the excitement of meeting a soulmate. "Sister, you''re indeed my sister. You have such good taste. Ke Xin was stunned for a moment before saying, "Did you dye his red hair?" "That''s right, it''s my masterpiece." Dong Xi nodded. "I''m also very curious. Where did you find such a good-tempered high-level cultivator?" asked Chi Yan. Ordinary cultivators above the Golden Core stage would be very sensitive. How could they let you do this?" "Probably because of my personal charm?" said Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked like she was showing off. Chi Yan turned her head and looked elsewhere. Ke Xin pulled Dong Xi and started to gossip about Long Wei. Ke Xin said, "Sister, I heard that you''ve taken in a disciple? You''re currently breaking through in your cultivation. You''ll be distracted when taking in disciples¡­" Ke Xin was also thinking for Dong Xi. Dong Xi sighed lightly and said, "Ke Xin, have you heard of an obsessive dog?" Ke Xin was stunned for a moment, then sheughed and said, "So, this guy is like a dog that follows you around?" Afterughing, Ke Xin and Dong Xi had a good talk, telling Dong Xi to get her priorities straight and not to dy her future just because of a possessive dog. "Don''t worry, I won''t let him affect my cultivation." Dong Xi nodded. In order to reassure everyone, Dong Xi gave an example, "Look at my Master. Ever since I entered Lingxu Peak, I''ve only seen him a few times." Ke Xin was speechless. Ke Xin looked at Chi Yan. Chi Yan said seriously, "That''s right, it''s always like this." "I thought you direct disciples were different from us inner disciples. So it''s like this¡­" Ke Xin sighed softly. Dong Xi and Chi Yan did not have a Master to guide them, but their cultivation speed was very fast. Dong Xi noticed that Ke Xin''s mood was not quite right. She said, "Sisters, Master has brought you in, but cultivation is up to you. It doesn''t matter." These words seemed to be talking about the matter of Long Wei, but in fact, they wereforting Ke Xin. "That''s good." Ke Xin smiled and said. The three of them chatted for a long time before Chi Yan bid farewell. "I don''t know when I''ll see you again after today," Ke Xin said with some emotion. Dong Xi said with a smile, "It won''t be long. ording to Little Senior Sister''s cultivation, it''s just the Foundation Establishment stage. Maybe it''ll bepleted tomorrow. "It''s hard to say," Chi Yan added. Every time the Chi Yan''s n broke through to a major realm, they had to go through a baptism. The better their talent, the more time they needed. When Chi Yan was young, he had heard the Patriarch say that Chi Yan''s talent was the best in the past five generations. Chi Yan also hoped that when she broke through, she would not be too far behind this Little Junior Sister. The three of them practiced their sword skills here again. The red me sword energy was not controlled well and directly cut the big red flower in Dong Xi''s experimental field. Chi Yan quickly put away her sword and went over to check. When she got close, he realized that there was no damage on the big red flower at all. There was not even a trace of it. Chi Yan was shocked. He looked at Dong Xi and said, "Little Junior Sister, what kind of flower is this? Why is it so powerful?" No matter what, Chi Yan had alsoprehended Sword Qi. Although her cultivation was not very high, it was very hard for her not to leave traces. This spirit nt must be of a very high grade. Dong Xi was not sure either. She said, "You might not believe it, but this flower has already bloomed for more than three years." This was something that Dong Xi had transnted from the outer sect. At that time, it was not as bright as this. One night, it suddenly became like this. Dong Xi had been reading books in the library for a long time, but she still could not find such a mutated spirit nt. Chi Yan smiled and said, "You''re really muddle-headed. Forget it. It''s fine if you don''t know. This is quite nice. Although she said so, after Chi Yan and Ke Xin left, Dong Xi still went to Su Cheng to ask. "Big Snake, are you there?" Dong Xi asked in her sea of consciousness. "Old Su? Don''t be silent, Big Snake, answer me please." ... In the end, Su Cheng could not take it anymore and said indifferently, "What is it?" The deep and hoarse voice, coupled with the rising tone, caused Dong Xi to be stunned. At this moment, Dong Xi forgot what she wanted to do. Su Cheng did not hear Dong Xi''s reply for a long time. He said, "What''s the matter?" Chapter 500 What Flower Is This?

Chapter 500 What Flower Is This?

Dong Xi immediately came back to her senses and said, "Big Snake, you have seen so much. What flower is this? Why have I never seen it before? Especially since it had bloomed for three years, it was still so bright. Was it some kind of treasure?" "You''re really a little girl who hasn''t seen the world." Su Cheng smiled. Dong Xi furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction, but she really did not recognize this flower, so she could not refute it. However, Dong Xi was flexible. Dong Xi said, "That''s right. I''m only a few years old. How many ces have I been? Of course, I haven''t seen the world. Although I don''t know him, it''s good that you know him. If you tell me, I''ll be more knowledgeable, right?" Su Cheng was silent for a long time before finally giving Dong Xi a way out. "Drip a drop of your heart''s blood on it," said Su Cheng." Dong Xi did not say anything. She stretched out her hand to drip blood. Su Cheng said again, "It must be the blood of the heart." Dong Xi naturally would do it blindly. The spirit nt that needed to be nourished by the blood of the heart naturally would not be any ordinary spirit nt. A drop of bright red blood with purple spiritual energy dripped from Dong Xi''s finger andnded on the stamen. The big red flower seemed to have a life of its own. Its petals began to shrink and wrap around the drop of blood. "Is that it?" Dong Xi asked. "That''s right," Su Cheng said lightly. At this moment, another voice came from outside. Dong Xi looked over and saw another head of red hair. Su Cheng snorted coldly. Dong Xi heard Su Cheng''s cold snort, but she did not say anything else. Dong Xi did not think much of it and continued to look around the flower. After a long time, she did not see any movement from the flower, so she walked to the door. At this moment, Mo Han''s face was as pale as a piece of white paper. It was simr to Dong Xi who had just lost a drop of heart blood. Mo Han coughed again, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Then, he took out a pill and ate it, and then looked at Dong Xi again. Seeing that Dong Xi was also so pale, Mo Han was stunned. He then handed the pill to Dong Xi and said, "Do you need it?" "I''m fine," Dong Xi shook her head and said. "How about you? How do you feel?" "It''s nothing. I''ll survive," said Mo Han. "I think so too," said Dong Xi with a smile. After saying that, Dong Xi became serious and continued, "Run another round ande back. I''ll treat you." "I thought you had forgotten." Dong Xi smiled and said, "I''ve already told you that it''s not that easy to earn that spirit meridian of yours. You don''t have to say anything. I still have to go out with Master Yijian in a few days. I don''t know when I''ll be back. Of course, I''ll seize the time to treat you in the next few days." Mo Han frowned. There was no emotion in his gray eyes, but it made Dong Xi''s heart tremble. "Dong Xi, you''re really something. Since you know you''re going to leave, why did you coax me toe here?" Mo Han said. Dong Xi''s forehead twitched. What was this? This resentful tone¡­ It was as if Dong Xi was a scumbag. "I just found out that I need to go out. If I had known earlier, I wouldn''t have asked you toe." Dong Xi thought for a moment and continued, "Fellow Daoist Mo Han, why don''t you go back to Destiny Valley first? I''ll pick you up after I''m done with my work." Mo Han said directly, "No way. Are you saying that I''m someone you can order toe and go as you please? How can I be at your beck and call?" Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi did not dare to say anything in this situation. She was not thinking about how Mo Han could easily take Dong Xi''s life. She was thinking if he did not give her the spirit vein, it would be a big deal. "What should we do then?" Dong Xi sighed. "Can I bring you along?" Mo Han heard this and nodded. "It''s not impossible." "?" Dong Xi looked at him in surprise. Dong Xi said, "It''s an invitation from my Master. It''s already a gift from the sky for Master to be willing to bring me along. How can I bring you along?" Mo Han''s expression was calm, and his red hair became a stark contrast. "Shall we change our fates, then?" Mo Han asked. "?" Well, it seems like Mo Han was about to take over the title of possessive dog from Long Wei. Mo Han''s eyes moved slightly, and Dong Xi watched as Mo Han''s eyes returned to normal. At this moment, Dong Xi felt that thews of the Heavenly Dao around her became clearer. She felt a profound shift in the spiritual energy around her, and she felt extreme rity. Unfortunately, Dong Xi even felt that if this situationsted longer, she might be able toprehend some Laws of Heaven and Earth. After this moment, Mo Han''s eyes returned to their previous dull and blind appearance. Dong Xi immediately knew that the experience just now was Mo Han''s doing. This was also the first time Dong Xi had experienced Mo Han''s terror. In the past, Dong Xi had thought that she was a genius. Now, inparison, Dong Xi suddenly understood why Mo Han was blind and so weak. Chapter 501 Know Too Much

Chapter 501 Know Too Much

The reason why Mo Han was like this was because he knew too much¡­ The more he knew, the easier it would be for problems to arise. Now, even the Heavenly Dao wanted Mo Han to die¡­ Everything Dong Xi had done with Mo Han was against the heavens. Thinking of this, Dong Xi became a little excited. At this time, Mo Han said, "Don''t think that I don''t know what you''re going to do. This time, I have to go with you." When Dong Xi heard what Mo Han said, she felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Mo Han had already calcted that she wanted to go to the zing me Valley to temper her body? From the looks of it, it was not impossible to calcte this oue. It was understandable that Mo Han was eager for sess in body refinement. Dong Xi thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I''ll go ask Master Yijian and see if he''s okay with it. If he''s not, you don''t have to go." Mo Han nodded when he heard Dong Xi''s words. This time, he had made the right bet. Mo Han wanted to know what Dong Xi was going to do, but this time, it was simr to before. He could not calcte anything. Mo Han said, "Alright, go and ask." Mo Han spat out a mouthful of blood. Dong Xi saw Mo Han spit out blood and was helpless. Perhaps this was the result of prying into the heavenly secrets? "I told you not to use spiritual energy, but you didn''t listen. Now you''re suffering a bacsh." As Dong Xi spoke, she took out a pill that Second Senior Brother had given her back then. Dong Xi said, "Just one pill. You have to pay for it. I don''t know how to refine it yet. It''s especially expensive." After eating the pill, Mo Han''s expression instantly became much better. Mo Han took out a porcin bottle and handed it to Dong Xi. Mo Han said, "I''ll use this bottle to exchange with you." Dong Xi took the porcin bottle and opened it. A pill fragrance wafted out. Dong Xi smelled this scent and was extremely familiar with it. Dong Xi''s expression was also extremely strange. This... Isn''t it just a Youth Pill? Although the value was very high, Mo Han had given her a whole porcin bottle, which wasparable to the value of the pill she had just given him. But... These pills were unworthy of Dong Xi''s attention. Mo Han thought that Dong Xi''s strange eyes were too excited. Mo Han thought for a moment and said, "Eating this will keep you young forever. It''s better for you to eat it in a few years. You''re still like a bean sprout now¡­" "What are you talking about?" Dong Xi said with dissatisfaction. "Do I look like bean sprouts? Aren''t you the same? You''re as thin as a bean sprout. How dare you criticize me?" Mo Han was not angry and said, "That''s why I haven''t eaten them all this time." What eternal youth? If Mo Han could not get rid of the bacsh on his body, he would not have many years to live. If he died, he would just be a pile of dirt. He did not need to maintain his youth. Dong Xi looked at the setting sun and did not continue to argue with Mo Han. She said, "Don''t talk anymore. Hurry up and run. You''ve also eaten the pill. If you don''t run, it would really be a waste." Mo Han was very sad about his health. When he heard Dong Xi say this, Mo Han turned around and ran down the mountain. As she watched Mo Han''s departing figure, a voice rang out in Dong Xi''s mind. "You''re really nice to outsiders," said Su Cheng. "Don''t say that, Big Snake. I''m a little scared." Dong Xi immediately said. Su Cheng''s figure slowly appeared beside Dong Xi. He gave Dong Xi a meaningful look before turning around and entering the cave. Dong Xi looked at the closed door and sighed helplessly. It seemed that she could not enter again. Dong Xi took out a praying mat as usual and sat directly under the willow tree. She looked at the willow tree with a somewhat youthful look. Liu Qing seemed to be still in seclusion. No one knew when she would wake up. At this moment, Dong Xi did not cultivate. Instead, she took out the Seven Treasures Demon Subduing Pagoda that she had obtained in the Secret Realm. Although it was a good thing, but¡­ What was its use? Dong Xi looked at it curiously. The pagoda had seven floors, and the entire pagoda was very exquisite. Dong Xi held the pagoda carefully, afraid that it would break. However, not long after, Dong Xi reacted. If it was that easy to break, Senior Sangdai would not treat it as a treasure. Dong Xi tried to inject some spiritual energy into the pagoda, but there was no response. Dong Xi thought of something and immediately raised her hand. A drop of blood fell on the pagoda. The pagoda that was originally still in his hand floated in the air, and the body of the pagoda emitted light. Dong Xi looked at the floating pagoda and injected a trace of spiritual power into it. In an instant, manyws entered Dong Xi''s sea of consciousness. Dong Xi also had a preliminary understanding of the pagoda''s function. With Dong Xi''s current strength, she only understood one-tenth of its function. The pagoda''s function was to suppress. Dong Xi was still a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, so the pagoda could only suppress cultivators below the middle Foundation Establishment stage. Chapter 502 Ignorant

Chapter 502 Ignorant

If it was against a Golden Core stage cultivator, it would not have much of an impact. If it was against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator or above, it would have almost no impact, or even be negligible. At the moment, it might not have much power, but the advantage of the pagoda was that it could increase its power as Dong Xi advanced. Dong Xi put away the pagoda with satisfaction. Then, he took out the wooden box of the Fire Tribe and counted how much Deep Sea Extreme Ice was inside. There was a total of 41 pieces and he gave one to Mo Han. The me Patriarch gave Dong Xi 42 pieces. Including the one the Big Snake gave her, there should be a total of 43. Dong Xi happily tidied everything up. This trip to the mystic realm had indeed yielded a lot of benefits. Dong Xi had just finished tidying up when Mo Han ran up. Dong Xi stood up and stepped forward. Mo Han saw Dong Xi''s expression and said, "Are you alright? Did you find out know something you shouldn''t have?" "How would I know? Do you think I''m as powerful as you?" Dong Xi said. Mo Han ate a pill and said, "You really don''t need to eat one?" "No need. You can keep it and eat it slowly yourself," Dong Xi said. Dong Xi''splexion was not good because she had just used a drop of heart blood. She would be fine after resting for two days. Mo Han saw that Dong Xi did not eat and did not force him. Mo Han said, "Then can you still treat my illness?" Dong Xi said," I''ll try. If it doesn''t work, then forget it. Don''t worry, I haven''t reached the extent of sacrificing myself for others." "I think so too," said Mo Han. Dong Xi did not continue to argue. She took out a praying mat and threw it on the ground. Dong Xi said, "Have a seat." Mo Han was stunned and then said, "Am I not qualified to go to your abode?" "You and I are a single man and a single woman. It''s not suitable," Dong Xi said with a serious expression. Mo Han looked at Dong Xi in surprise. Mo Han smiled and said, "Little girl, what re you saying? Haha, how long have you lived? You don''t even have a fraction of my age." When Dong Xi heard this, she did not feel offended. She nodded and said, "That''s right. I knew it. You''re an old man." Mo Han was speechless. Mo Han looked at the entrance of the cave and his eyes were just a little moved when he was interrupted by Dong Xi. "If you continue to use your spiritual energy, I won''t be able to heal that meridian of yours. You''d better go back if you want to do this." Upon hearing Dong Xi''s words, Mo Han immediately became obedient. Mo Han said, "Sorry to trouble you." Dong Xi ced her hand on Mo Han''s wrist and injected spiritual energy bit by bit. Dong Xi''s spiritual energy moved along Mo Han''s meridians and finally found the meridian that had been repaired yesterday. It didn''t break? Dong Xi was pleasantly surprised. This was a good sign. At least it meant that Dong Xi''s treatment was effective. Dong Xi''s healing speed was very slow now, but once her cultivation level increased, her healing speed would also increase. At that time, Mo Han''s life would be saved. Of course, Mo Han had to live until then. Just likest time, Dong Xi continued to repair the other meridian. However, Dong Xi''s heart ached a little after the restoration. Dong Xi immediately withdrew her spiritual energy, and her expression turned even worse. "That''s all for today," said Dong Xi. Mo Han looked at Dong Xi and said, "You should rest well too. Don''t think that you can mess around just because you''re young. It''ll be a pity if you walk ahead of me." Dong Xi watched as Mo Han walked away, but she did not stand up to send him off. She turned to look at the big red flower and closed her eyes again. The moonlight shone on Dong Xi''s body, as if it had cast ayer of silver on her. Her aura also stabilized. At this moment, the Big Snake''s inner core in Dong Xi''s body started to spin. Some of the green and purple spiritual energy wrapped together and spiraled above Dong Xi''s head. After an unknown period of time, Dong Xi opened her eyes. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief and felt refreshed. She stood up and stretched her back. Then, she saw Su Cheng standing in front of the big red flower. Seeing that Dong Xi had woken up, Su Cheng said, "You should pay attention to yourself when you heal other men. Don''t hurt your foundation. I''ll help you clean up the mess." Dong Xi was stunned. Su Cheng''s words were for Dong Xi''s benefit, but why did it sound so awkward? Before Dong Xi could react, Su Cheng said, "Come and take a look." Dong Xi instantly looked at the big red flower and realized that it had already borne fruit. Seeing Dong Xi walk over, the big red flower actually rubbed her arm with its fruit very intimately. Dong Xi was instantly shocked. This¡­ Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng and said, "Could it be that because I dripped my heart''s blood, I became human?" "You can understand it that way," Su Cheng thought for a moment and said. The most important thing was naturally not the Heart Blood, but Su Cheng''s blood. When Su Cheng said this, Dong Xi looked at the big red flower again and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Dong Xi reached out and touched the fruit, then touched the leaves, and even injected a little wood spiritual energy into it. Chapter 503 What Spirit Plant Is This?

Chapter 503 What Spirit nt Is This?

The big red flower seemed to be even happier after receiving Dong Xi''s wood spiritual energy. Dong Xi took the fruit away and looked at Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, "Big Snake, what kind of spiritual nt is this? Why haven''t I seen it before?" Su Cheng did not say it directly this time. He said, "You know about this." "I do?" Dong Xi asked with a puzzled expression. ... On the way to the Sword Sect, Dong Xi had been thinking about it. When she arrived at the Sword Sect, she still could not figure out what that big red flower was. Forget it, I''ll go find my master first. Dong Xi found Master Yijian and asked if he could bring another person along. "What?" Yijian asked in surprise. "Are you going to bring your Eldest Senior Brother or your Little Senior Sister with you?" Dong Xi was speechless. Chi Yan was preparing to return to the n, so it was impossible for her to go. Eldest Senior Brother... He was really embarrassed. Dong Xi forgot about him for a moment. "Master, I haven''t seen Eldest Senior Brother since I came back. I don''t know if Eldest Senior Brother is in the sect," Dong Xi said with some guilt. Daoist Yijian saw Dong Xi mention Liang Yan and said, "No, this kid has a huge debt and is doing missions outside to pay off his debts." Dong Xi finally knew that Eldest Senior Brother could not suppress his cultivation and eventually reached the Nascent Soul stage. Unfortunately, Eldest Senior Brother was in seclusion in the sect''s sword array at that time. The 81 Lightning Tribtions destroyed the sword array''s protective array. The Sect Master gave a discount on ount that Liang Yan had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, but even so, Liang Yan still had to bear 80 percent of the cost. In addition to the debt he had previously owed, Liang Yan was now buried in debt. Even Dong Xi, who often took pleasure in others'' misfortune, felt that humans were the same when she heard this. Some people were full of fortune, just like Second Senior Brother. Some people were born unlucky, just like Eldest Senior Brother. Back then, when the head disciple asked Dong Xi toplete the mission, he had given Dong Xi a chance to go to the sword array trial. Now, it seemed that Dong Xi would not be able to go for a while. "Fortunately, the defensive shield was damaged. If the sword array was really destroyed, Eldest Senior Brother would most likely be chased out of the sect." "Because of this, the Sect Master used the sect token to prevent cultivators who are about to transcend their tribtion from entering the sword array," Daoist Yijian said helplessly. "Master, do you think it''s better to go to the sword array when your cultivation is high or low?" asked Dong Xi. Daoist Yijian said, "Of course, it''s when you''re at a higher level. Many swords in the sword array have inheritances, so you canprehend more when you''re at a higher level." "Then I''ll go when my cultivation is higher." Dong Xi nodded. "So, who do you want to bring with you?" Daoist Yijian asked. Dong Xi did not hide it, as she knew that she could not hide it. Even if he hid it now, he would find out when he left. "Mo Han," said Dong Xi directly. Daoist Yijian was instantly stunned. Then, he said in surprise, "You want to take Master Mo Han to the zing me Valley?" "That''s right," Dong Xi nodded. "Daoist Master Mo Han will agree?" Daoist Master Yi Jian asked. I know that Daoist Mo Han''s health isn''t very good, and he usually doesn''t go far away." "He can go," said Dong Xi. Besides, Mo Han was the one who insisted on following him, so how could he not agree? Daoist Yijian pondered for a moment and thought of Daoist Mo Han''s reputation. In the end, he agreed to go together. "Let''s go together," Daoist Yijian said. "Just so that we can tell Destiny Valley that if anything happens, they won''t me us." Seeing that her master had agreed, Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. She could also give Mo Han an exnation. At this time, there were still about 12 days before the punishment. Dong Xi also took the time to let Mo Han train for 12 days. 12 days had passed and Dong Xi had repaired 12 small meridians for Mo Han. Although it was a drop in the bucket for many meridians, with the protection of the 12 meridians, at least Mo Han no longer vomited blood for no reason. Mo Han''s body was also much better than when he first came, and he usually walked a lot faster. Dong Xi almost could not catch up, but fortunately, Dong Xi knew Spatial Bending. However, Mo Han did not know this technique. Mo Han looked at Dong Xi with aplicated expression. Mo Han said, "Li Li and I have been brothers for over 200 years." "Senior Brother Li Li didn''t give it to me for free, because I helped him," Dong Xi said with a smile. Mo Han gave Dong Xi a look. Dong Xi immediately understood that there was nothing in this world that Mo Han did not know. "If you didn''t use your spiritual power recklessly, your body wouldn''t have been like this. You even said that you would do a divination every month. I think you''re just eager to die." Chapter 504 A Chance of Survival

Chapter 504 A Chance of Survival

Mo Han smiled and did not say anything. If Mo Han had not casually divined Dong Xi''s fortune, how could he have predicted this chance of survival? In this world, there were times when you felt that something was wrong, but it was not necessarily wrong. "Why don''t I teach you divination and you teach me movement techniques?" Mo Han asked. "Do you want to die that badly!" Dong Xi shook her head firmly. "I don''t want to die yet." Mo Han was speechless. Dong Xi continued, "You can''t use your spiritual power now either. You can''t use your movement technique even if you try. Moreover, this is Senior Brother Li Li''s movement technique. How can I dare to teach it to others casually?" Mo Han was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, I''d better take the carriage." "No, your carriage is too conspicuous." Dong Xi said. Mo Han frowned. Dong Xi took out the flying device given by Second Brother and handed it to Mo Han. Dong Xi said, "This is for you to use first. Remember to return it to me when you''re done." If this aircraft was given to Mo Han, the narrow-minded Second Senior Brother might hold a grudge for a thousand years. On the morning of the punishment, Dong Xi took out a stack of paper and began to write in front of Mo Han. Mo Han could not understand what Dong Xi was doing, so he asked curiously. Dong Xi did not stop and said directly, "I wonder if anything will happen to you this time." Mo Han looked at Dong Xi with great interest. He also knew that Dong Xi knew a little, but he did not think that Dong Xi could predict his luck. Just like how Mo Han could not see Dong Xi''s luck, Mo Han''s luck could not be seen so easily. Mo Han was even more curious when he saw Dong Xi drawing a lot on paper. Didn''t Li Li teach Dong Xi how to calcte? Why did it seem like Dong Xi had created all of this? When Dong Xi stopped, Mo Han said, "How is it? Did you calcte it?" Mo Han wanted to see Dong Xi''s defeated look, but Dong Xi said confidently, "I''ve figured it out. Fellow Daoist, although there will be some small problems with your trip, you''ll gain something. Don''t worry." Mo Han: "?" How was this possible? Dong Xi had actually calcted it? "Really?" Mo Han asked. Dong Xi looked at Mo Han unhappily and said, "It''s true. It''s fine if you don''t believe me. Anyway, I''m just counting for fun." Mo Han''s divine sense swept over Dong Xi, and seeing how confident Dong Xi was, he also believed 70 percent. Although Dong Xi was noot very old, she was also a little strange, so perhaps she could really figure it out. "Yes, I do," said Mo Han. Hearing Mo Han''s words, Dong Xi''s expression turned better. She said, "At least you''re sensible." Mo Han picked up the paper that Dong Xi had just written on, but no matter how he looked at it, he could not understand what Dong Xi had written. Mo Han became more and more curious and could not help but say, "What are these?" "It''s nothing." Dong Xi said nervously. If he were to ask Dong Xi to teach mathematics again, she would lose her patience. Mo Han did not have a problem getting to the root of the matter. Many people in the cultivation world were willing to share their secret techniques. Mo Han put down the paper and said, "Don''t read the fortunes of others in the future. Be careful that one day you will be like me." Dong Xi nodded obediently. After a moment of thought, she said, "But my algorithm doesn''t seem to have any bacsh." Mo Han, "?" How was this possible? Mo Han did not believe it at all. "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, so you should be careful." Dong Xi nodded, and the Communication Jade Slip lit up. After opening it, he realized that it was a message from Master Yijian. [Little Xi, get ready to set off.] Dong Xi immediately set off with Mo Han. When they were going down the mountain, Dong Xi felt something strange on her arm. It was obvious that some clingy guy had followed them. Dong Xi sighed helplessly and finallypromised. Forget it, if he was willing to follow, he would. It would be of great use at the critical moment. When Dong Xi and Daoist Master Yijian arrived at the za, he was already waiting for them. Daoist Yijian was a sword cultivator, so he naturally rode a flying sword. However, only two people could stand on the treasured sword at most, so it was inevitable that he wold bring Dong Xi along. As for Mo Han, he could only¡­ Just as Daoist Yijian was thinking about how to say it, Dong Xi brought Mo Han closer. Daoist Yijian looked at Mo Han. When he saw Mo Han''s hair, Daoist Yijian was stunned and said, "This is... Daoist Mo Han?" "Yes!" Dong Xi confirmed. After saying that, she patted Mo Han''s shoulder and said, "Fellow Daoist, cough for my master." Mo Han was speechless. Mo Han had lived for almost 300 years, but he had never been so speechless. Since when did he need to cough to prove his identity? Mo Han rolled his eyes at Dong Xi and took out a token. Daoist Yijian took a look and immediatelyughed. Daoist Yijian said, "It''s indeed Daoist Master Mo Han. I thought my little disciple was joking. I''ve never seen Daoist Master Mo Han before. Now that I''ve seen you, I never thought that you looked like this¡­" Chapter 505 Up-To-Date With the Trends

Chapter 505 Up-To-Date With the Trends

Daoist Yijian paused for a moment, thinking about what to say. After a moment, Daoist Yijian continued, "I didn''t expect that Mo Han would be so up-to-date with the trends." "Not bad, right?" Dong Xi followed. "I chose Mo Han''s hair color." Master Yijian shot a look at Dong Xi, and he said, "Not bad." Mo Han looked at the master and disciple helplessly. Daoist Yijian continued, "We should set off, Daoist Mo Han, I can only bring one with me." Mo Han thought for a moment. With the flying device borrowed by Dong Xi, although it was a little slow, it could still be used. But before Mo Han could speak, Dong Xi said, "There''s no need, Master. We''ll fly in front, and Fellow Daoist Mo Han will run." Mo Han, "? Daoist Yijian, "?" The two of them looked at Dong Xi with a puzzled expression. Daoist Yijian even repeatedly confirmed, "Little Xi, are you joking? Ningtian Sect would not treat guests like this." Dong Xi smiled and said, "Master, you don''t know. Fellow Daoist Mo Han has just started body tempering and hasn''t reached the firstyer of body tempering yet. This journey is far away, so it''s a good opportunity for body tempering." When Daoist Yijian heard this, he was instantly shocked. Daoist Yijian said, "What is it? Body refinement? What nonsense! Little Xi, Daoist Master Mo Han is the pride of Destiny Valley. How can you be so ridiculous?" Dong Xi felt a little wronged and whispered, "How is this nonsense? Mo Han''s health is not good, so what''s wrong with letting him refine his body?" In front of Master Mo Han, Master Yijian said that it was not good to be too heavy or too light. At this time, Mo Han said, "Fellow Daoist, I wanted to follow Fellow Daoist Dong Xi to refine my body. Please don''t me her. Besides, this method is quite good. My body is indeed better than before these days." Since Mo Han had said so, Daoist Yijian could not say anything more. "You shouldn''t watch, either. Run with Daoist Master Mo Han," Daoist Master Yijian said. Dong Xi said indifferently, "Then let''s run together. I''m afraid that Daoist Master Mo Han can''t keep up with me if I run fast." Daoist Yijian knew that Dong Xi''s movement technique was good, so he immediately waved his hand and sealed Dong Xi''s spiritual energy. "Since you want to temper your body, don''t use spiritual energy," Daoist Yijian said. Dong Xi was speechless. It did not matter, it was fine if she did not use it. Her master might still think that Dong Xi was a little trash who had just started body tempering, but now that Dong Xi was already in the fifthyer of body tempering, such a short distance was nothing. Three of them set off, one flying, two running. Dong Xi listened to her master calling him Mo Han ''Master Mo Han'' and said, "Master, you can''t do this. Daoist Master Mo Han is quite lucky and knows many people. Let''s not cause any trouble on the road this time and change his name." Daoist Yijian felt that Dong Xi was right, but he did not have any good ideas at the moment. Daoist Yijian said, "What should we call him?" "Little Han?" Dong Xi immediately asked. Mo Han was speechless. "Not too good?" Daoist Yijian asked. Dong Xi thought for a moment again and said, "Mo Han, winter is the coldest time of the year, but it''s also during the new year. Let''s wee the new year¡­" When Mo Han heard Dong Xi say this, he suddenly became nervous. Dong Xi continued, "Or should we call him ''Ci Jiu.'' The meaning of bidding farewell to the old and weing the new was good. After Mo Han heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous. Fortunately, Dong Xi did not give him a weird name¡­ If it was a weird name, Mo Han would definitely not agree. Daoist Yijian also felt that Dong Xi''s choice was not bad. Daoist Yijian looked at Mo Han and said, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Mo Han?" Mo Han nodded and said, "It''s quite good." Dong Xi heard Mo Han''s agreement and immediately became happy. She even took out a treasure from her storage ring. Dong Xi said, "Little Ci, try this. I won''t give it to ordinary people. If it weren''t for the fact that you and I are close, I wouldn''t share it with you. You can wear this and run. It''sfortable and fast¡­" Mo Han looked at the ck cloth shoes in Dong Xi''s hands and suddenly fell silent. Mo Han had never worn such shoes before. Was it really that powerful? Dong Xi looked at Mo Han expectantly. Mo Han had changed his shoes. After changing his shoes, Mo Han saw Dong Xi''s expectant expression. Dong Xi said, "Try walking a few steps?" Mo Han obediently ran a few steps and turned around to meet Dong Xi''s expectant face. At this time, Mo Han was very d that he was blind. Dong Xi could not tell emotions from Mo Han''s eyes. "How is it?" Dong Xi asked from the side. "How does it feel?" Mo Han stared at Dong Xi''s expectant gaze and said helplessly, "It feels good." Dong Xi smiled and took one of the pendants off her neck and handed it to Mo Han. "What is this?" Mo Han asked curiously. Chapter 506 Gravity Formation

Chapter 506 Gravity Formation

Dong Xi looked at Mo Han''s puzzled expression and said, "It''s a gravity formation that I got from a senior from the Array Sect. I''m lending it to you now. Now that you''ve changed your shoes, normal gravity would be too easy, right? These are new shoes." Dong Xi''s words made Mo Han somewhat suspicious. How could such an ordinary shoe be so powerful ording to Dong Xi? There was also the pendant. Mo Han felt the gravity increase as soon as he held it in his hand, and his legs almost could not support it. Without the gravity, Dong Xi ran like a rabbit and instantly ran far away. Mo Han gritted his teeth as he looked at Dong Xi''s back and could only endure it silently. Open up a little and open up the situation. Dong Xi was doing this for Mo Han''s own benefit. They could have arrived in three days, but because they brought Mo Han along, they only covered half the distance in ten days. In the end, Daoist Yijian realized that he could not make it to the festival in zing me Valley, so he asked the two of them sit on their magic tools and hurry up. Dong Xi was very generous to Mo Han for the sake of the spirit vein. Halfway through, she even seized the time to treat Mo Han with wood spiritual Qi. Master Yijian stood guard at the side and watched Dong Xi''s spiritual energy enter Mo Han''s meridians. Master Yijian was very shocked. Could it be that Dong Xi had saved Mo Han''s life? Otherwise, why would Daoist Master Mo Han trust Dong Xi so much? One had to know that if they were so defenseless and allowed the other party''s spiritual energy to enter their bodies at will, they would be close rtives. Once the other party had evil thoughts, she could instantly destroy his foundation. However, looking at how familiar the two of them were, it was obvious that this was not the first time. Daoist Yijian rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time. If Dong Xi was not so young, Daoist Yijian would have thought too much. The reason for this misunderstanding was that Daoist Yijian did not understand Mo Han''s body. If he had known that Mo Han''s body was now riddled with holes, and Mo Han was in a terrible state. He probably would not have such thoughts. Dong Xi once again helped Mo Han repair a section of his meridians. This time, Mo Han felt something. Mo Han found that the pain in his body seemed to be much better than before. A few days ago, he thought that it was because of the body refinement. It was only until Dong Xi repaired the meridians that connected to his heart that Mo Han instantly felt much more rxed. At this time, Mo Han also knew that it was all thanks to Dong Xi¡­ Dong Xi finished her work and ate a pill. Dong Xi stood up and said, "Master said that the festival of the zing me Valley will start in three days. We need to hurry. I don''t have time to treat you before we arrive." If there was anything, he would say it clearly in advance so that Mo Han would not flip through the small ount bookter. "I know." Mo Han nodded. Dong Xi was very satisfied. Seeing Mo Han take out the flying device given by Second Brother, Dong Xi said, "Seeing that you''re so sensible, I''ll bring you along." As he spoke, Dong Xi took out the little turtle that her master had given him and injected a lot of spiritual energy into it. Dong Xi said, "Hurry up ande up." Mo Han looked at the ce where he could only stand with two feet and said, "Can''t this aircraft be bigger?" "Of course!" Dong Xi said. Mo Han frowned and Dong Xi continued, "Bear with it. My strength is limited. This way, I can save a lot of spiritual energy." When Dong Xi said this, Mo Han did not think much of it. Mo Han only reacted when Dong Xi was eating pills while flying. Mo Han said, "It''s better to use magic tools that aren''t outside of your ability in the future." Dong Xi stared at the protective shield. Hearing Mo Han''s words, Dong Xi was a little unhappy. It was easy to say, so Dong Xi said, "It''s not beyond my ability to begin with. I even brought you along. Don''t you know how much space I''ve upied? If it wasn''t for the fact that men and women shouldn''t touch each other, I would have put it on my head." Mo Han did not say anything else because he knew¡­ Dong Xi would really do that. Not far ahead, Daoist Yijian looked at the two of them and was speechless. He did not know what to say. Master Yijian could not do anything about his disciple''s stubbornness. If Daoist Yijian were to use that flying magical treasure, he would be able to bring at least eight people with him. Even if he could not, he could bring Fellow Daoist Mo Han along and Dong Xi could fly by herself. How did the originally smart girl suddenly be so stupid? Maybe... Is this how young people interact nowadays? When the three of them arrived outside the zing me Valley, Mo Hanined, "If I had known that you were so slow, I would have let Daoist Yijian lead the way." Only then did Dong Xi react. The hand holding the pill trembled non-stop. Dong Xi said, "You... Why didn''t you say it earlier? Dong Xi was really distressed. She had wasted so many pills and had put in so much effort for nothing. Mo Han just said helplessly, "I see that you were so enthusiastic, so I can''t refuse!" Chapter 507 As Long as You Admit It

Chapter 507 As Long as You Admit It

Dong Xi was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it. We''re already at the ce. You just have to recognize it." Mo Han was speechless. Forget it. He already owed so many favors anyway, so it did not matter if there was one more. While the two of them were talking, a person came out of the zing me Valley. "I wonder if any of you have a me Token?" When Dong Xi heard this, she looked over. When she saw the appearance and attire of this person, Dong Xi was instantly stunned. Dong Xi''s eyes were instantly filled with tears. This costume¡­And a red face¡­ Wasn''t this the Fire Tribe? While Dong Xi was in a daze, Daoist Yijian took out the token and said, "Ningtian Sect, Yijian." The guide of zing me Valley bowed respectfully and said, "Honored Guest, follow me." Daoist Yijian and Daoist Mo Han walked a few steps and realized that Dong Xi was not following them. The two of them stopped and looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi came back to her senses and immediately followed. After passing through the restriction, the surroundings suddenly became hotter, and the fire spiritual energy in the air became more abundant. However, it was still much better than the Fire Tribe. As Dong Xi walked, he saw many people from zing me Valley. Their faces were all red. Dong Xi was puzzled. What did these people have to do with the Fire Tribe? Dong Xi felt that she had to ask around. However, she had just arrived and did not have a suitable candidate. After settling in, a burst of heartyughter came from outside the door. The three of them looked over and saw a gorgeous middle-aged man walking into the house. "Daoist Yijian, it''s been a long time since west met, but you''re still so strong," the man said. The person who came was the elder of the zing me Valley, Lie Huo. He had a good rtionship with Daoist Yijian. The token of Daoist Yijian was given to him by Lie Huo. Daoist Yijian was not someone who liked to make small talk with others, and he did note personally to entertain them. "Lie Huo, I heard that you recently obtained a treasured sword. Can we spar?" Daoist Yijian asked directly. Mo Han took out his own sword in high spirits. No wonder it was said that the Yijian loved to fight. If he was not fighting, he was on everyone''s path. Lie Huo had a bad temper. Hearing Yijian say that, he took out his treasured sword and said, "I have the same intention." Just as the two of them were about to go out and fight, they suddenly remembered that there was still Dong Xi and Mo Han. Lie Huo said directly, "My two martial nephews, this must be your first time here. You can take a look around as you please. Just treat it like your own home. There''s no need to be reserved." Dong Xi really wanted to know the connection between the zing me Valley and the Huo Family. She also wanted to go out and take a look. After the two of them left, Dong Xi said, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to go sightseeing?" Mo Han nodded and said, "Since we''re here, we naturally have to take a look." The two of them left the room and strolled around the zing me Valley. A child was secretly following the two of them. Dong Xi found it very interesting, so she stopped and called the child over. "Why are you following us?" Dong Xi asked. The child kept looking at Mo Han''s hair and said, "This big brother has the same hair color as Lie Ming." Dong Xiughed when she heard this. She probably used the same hair dye. Dong Xi followed the child''s words and continued, "Who is Lie Ming? Is he your brother?" The child said, "Not big brother. ording to seniority, Lie Ming needs to call me Grandpa." Dong Xi could not help butugh. "Where is Lie Ming? Maybe we can make friends." The child happily brought the two of them to the martial arts practice field. Dong Xi could feel the heat from a distance. It was so hot that the air here was deformed. The child stood at the door and pointed inside. "You''ll see Lie Ming when you go in. His hair is different from everyone else''s except for this big brother. It''s very hot inside." Dong Xi thanked him and brought Mo Han inside. Entering the room felt like stepping into a fire pit. In an instant, the pores on Dong Xi''s body opened, and dense fire spiritual energy surged into Dong Xi''s body. Mo Han was not feeling well. He could not use his spiritual energy or refine his body yet, so he could not resist such heat. Mo Han felt as if his skin was about to be roasted. Just as Mo Han was about to tell Dong Xi to go by herself, the pair of shoes on his feet could not hold on any longer. There was a burnt smell and Mo Han''s soles were gone. Just as Mo Han''s feet were about to suffer, a protective shield instantly wrapped around him. It was the protective shield that Dong Xi had given Mo Han. Mo Han looked over and Dong Xi took out her shoes again and handed them to Mo Han. "Let''s go in after you''ve tidied up your clothes," said Dong Xi. The two of them represented the Ningitan Sect, so they could not lose face. Chapter 508 Take Out the Ice Cube

Chapter 508 Take Out the Ice Cube

After Mo Han put on his shoes, Dong Xi brought Mo Han into the martial arts field. The temperature inside was even higher. Dong Xi saw that Mo Han was still sweating through the protective shield and said, "Take out the ice cube I gave you and wear it." Mo Han was stunned for a moment, then he took out the Deep Sea Ice and found that the surrounding temperature was much lower. Mo Han knew that the Deep Sea Extreme Ice was rare, but he did not know that it had such an effect. Dong Xi continued, "I''ll teach you how to use this when your body tempering strength is higher. It''s not possible for now. Your physique is too weak. You can''t use it at all." It was not the first time Mo Han was despised, so he did not mind and nodded. The two of them continued walking. Not long after, they saw a red figure. She was wearing red clothes and had the same hair color as Mo Han. Different from the people from zing me Valley, this guy had a white face. The heat wave around Lie Ming was obvious. It was clearly very hot, but Lie Ming made people feel very refreshed. As if sensing their gazes, Lie Ming immediately looked over. Lie Ming stopped what he was doing and said, "Who is it?" Dong Xi stopped in her tracks. She knew that if she continued to move forward, she would cross the cordon and would be attacked at any time. Dong Xi said, "We are from the Ningtian Sect. We were invited here to participate in the festival. We met Lie Shen just now. He said that your hair color is the same as my friend''s and asked us toe over and be friends with you." The aura around Lie Ming instantly dissipated, and he finally walked toward the two of them. Lie Ming said, "So you''re a distinguished guest of the Ningtian Sect." As he spoke, Lie Ming looked at the two of them and found that their expressions were very natural, as if the high temperature had no effect on Dong Xi and Mo Han at all. Lie Ming was a little surprised. However, after thinking about it, it might be because the two of them had better fire spirit roots and were not affected much here. Dong Xi nced at Lie Ming''s hair, which was almost the same as Mo Han''s. Dong Xi said, "Fellow Daoist, did you use hair dye too?" Lie Ming shook his head. This was not the first time someone had asked. Lie Ming said, "I was born with this hair color." Dong Xi became even more curious. "It''s really strange. When we walked over here, our faces were all red. Fellow Daoist, your hair is red." Dong Xi was a very familiar person. Hearing this, Lie Ming could only shake his head and say, "I don''t know." Dong Xi did not continue asking. Instead, she asked Lie Ming if he could spar with her. Hearing this, Mo Han was speechless. As expected of Daoist Yijian''s disciple, she never forgot to fight wherever he went. If Dong Xi knew what Mo Han was thinking, she would definitely cry injustice. Although Dong Xi liked to train herself in fights, her goal this time was not the same. Dong Xi just wanted to know the rtionship between zing me Valley and the Fire Tribe. When she was in the Fire Tribe, Dong Xi fought with the people of the Fire Tribe. She knew a little about the techniques and spells of the Fire Tribe. Although it had been tens of thousands of years since the incident in the Secret Realm, a family''s inheritance could not be easily broken. Even if there were changes, there were traces that could be found. When Lie Ming heard this, he saw Dong Xi''s eagerness to try. Lie Ming cupped his fists and said, "I also want to spar." Mo Han saw that the two of them were about to fight the first time they met, and they were even fighting hard. It was impossible to determine the winner in a short time, so Mo Han simply practiced on the martial arts field. Body cultivators were not valued in the cultivation world. Most people thought that only those with insufficient talent would cultivate their bodies. This was because there was no shortcut to body tempering. Every inch of muscle and skin needed to be tempered. It was very tough. If he could endure the pain of body refinement, he would have long since taken the lead. In the past, Mo Han thought that his talent was not bad and had never thought of refining his body. But who knew that Mo Han only had one way out now? Mo Han sighed with emotion as he looked at Dong Xi in the distance. Dong Xi was scanned by Mo Han''s divine sense and he noticed it, saying loudly, "Don''t keep peeking at me." Mo Han was speechless. Fellow Daoist Dong Xi was really the most peculiar person Mo Han had ever met. Her three-spirit root aptitude was not outstanding either. However, his cultivation speed was still unparalleled, and even many people with Heavenly Spirit Roots could not catch up. However, Dong Xi was not very talented either, but she had taken the path of body and sword cultivation, which she could not ck off on. Se did it especially well. Dong Xi was fighting while refining her body, feeling extremely happy. Lie Ming seemed to have encountered a good friend, and his attacks became more and more fierce. The two of them fought for a whole hour. When the two of them were paralyzed on the ground, Mo Han came forward and said, "Do I need to drag you out?" "No need. It''s quite warm andfortable here," said Dong Xi. Chapter 509 Do You Know the Fire Tribe?

Chapter 509 Do You Know the Fire Tribe?

"No need," Lie Ming said."I usually live here." The two cultivation maniacs looked at each other andughed. Dong Xi sat up and looked at Lie Ming. Dong Xi said, "Lie Ming, do you know about the Fire Tribe?" Lie Ming was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I think I''ve heard it somewhere before, but I can''t remember. Sorry, I can''t help you." "It''s alright. I was just asking casually. You don''t have to be sorry." Mo Han saw the two of them chatting and knew that he couldn''t interrupt, so he stood aside. "Which n are you from?" Dong Xi continued. "The Zhu Fire Tribe," said Lie Ming. Lie Ming had a look on his face as he said, "You''re here to participate in the festival. Don''t you know which race you''re from?" "I asked Master, but I don''t remember," Dong Xi said embarrassedly. The two of them would be friends if they did not fight. After agreeing to continue tomorrow, Lie Ming sent the two out. Lie Ming said, "There is Earth Fire under our zing me Valley. The closer we are to the center, the higher the temperature. The martial arts practice field is not a big deal. It''s just to make it convenient for us younger generations to cultivate." As he spoke, Lie Ming pointed into the distance. He said, "The middle is where the Elders are. It''s even more troublesome." Dong Xi looked over and saw many houses in circles, advancingyer byyer. The closer he got to the center, the more distorted the air became, and the scene became more blurry. Dong Xi wanted to go and take a look. She might have felt that the Earth Fire here was not natural. It seemed to be maintained by some kind of secret treasure. Otherwise, with such a temperature, it would be impossible for it to only be on the surface. Obviously, the artifact was in the middle of the zing me Valley. It was also the treasure of the entire zing me Valley. Since the Lie family was able to establish a foothold here, they also knew that this treasure would not be easily found by others. Dong Xi said, "I see. You guys are really amazing. I''ll go back and cultivate well. When you go to the center in the future, bring me along to experience it too." This time, Lie Ming sighed and said, "Little Xi, my mother wasn''t from the Zhu Fire Tribe, so I''m white-faced. As for why I have red hair, I don''t know either. To the people here, I''m half a n member, so I can''t go to the central area. I just want to break through to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible in the martial arts practice field. That way, I can go out and have better opportunities." Dong Xi knew that she had said something wrong. After a moment of silence, Dong Xi said, "When that timees, you cane to the Ningtian Sect and we can fight." Lie Ming smiled. "Alright, let''s talk about itter. We''ll fight first tomorrow." "Alright!" Dong Xi nodded. ... On the second day, Lie Ming and Dong Xi were still tied. Lie Ming also looked at Mo Han and found that Mo Han was eager to try. Lie Ming did not directly tell Mo Han. He looked at Dong Xi and said, "Fellow Daoist, that''s a¡­ Senior Brother?" Dong Xi thought for a moment and said, "You can say so." Lie Ming immediately perked up and said, "It''s your Senior Brother. You want to spar with me?" "It''s fine if you can''t," said Dong Xi. Lie Ming frowned and asked doubtfully, "Why?" "Senior Brother is currently tempering his body, and Master has sealed his spiritual power." When Lie Ming heard this, he immediately understood. Lie Ming said, "It''s like this. Your teacher''s method is very good. I can''t use spiritual power to cultivate my body. If I seal my spiritual power, I will indeed work harder. When I return, I will ask my uncle to seal my spiritual power." Dong Xi looked at Lie Ming and said, "You are also a body cultivator?" When Lie Ming heard this, he was even more surprised. "Which fire elementalist doesn''t temper their body?" Fire spiritual energy was the easiest to refine the body. As long as the body was strong, fire elementalists were very powerful at the same cultivation level. This was also the reason why there were rumors in the Immortal world that fire spirits and cultivators had powerful attacks. "That''s true," said Dong Xi. The two of them fought for a long time, and Mo Han also ran around the martial arts field with the big millstone. If this was in the past, Mo Han did not even dare to think about it. ording to his body at that time, it was impossible for him to finish ap. It was during this period of body refinement that Mo Han really understood that death was now far away. Other people could still be ghost cultivators after they died, but Mo Han knew too much. As long as he died, the power ofws would crazily erase everything about Mo Han. Mo Han put down the millstone and sat on it. Mo Han was very tired, but his habits over the years made it impossible for him to lie on the ground like Dong Xi and the other two. When Dong Xi saw that Mo Han had returned, she immediately threw a cleaning spell at him, making him feel much more refreshed. Mo Han thanked him and took out the pill to eat. Although this medicinal pill was tier 1, he was eating it like candy. Chapter 510 Strong

Chapter 510 Strong

Now, Mo Han did not always vomit blood, and the blood in his body was more vigorous. Lie Ming looked at Mo Han eating pills like this and said enviously, "You are indeed a disciple of arge sect. Although we disciples of our families have good cultivation resources, we don''t dare to eat pills like you." Dong Xi wanted to say that not everyone in arge sect was like this. The most important thing was that his Senior Brother had a good Junior Sister! However, when he said this, it sounded like she was praising herself. It was better not to say it. After lying on the ground for a while and feeling the fire spiritual energy entering her body, Dong Xi sat up again and said, "Fellow Daoist, your festival starts tomorrow, right? We won''t fight anymore. Go back and rest well today. Tomorrow is the festival. Let''s see what the Elders have to offer. You can also fight for it." When Lie Ming heard this, he immediately sat up. Lie Ming said, "Speaking of this, I don''t feel tired anymore. Little Xi, I heard from my uncle that we should go to the Raging me Array once." "Just once?" asked Dong Xi curiously. "How long?" Lie Ming said, "That depends on how long you canst. There was a person who went in for a month. The Raging me Array is stacked. The longer the time, the higher the temperature. If one isn''t talented, they must have a secret treasure with them. Otherwise, they won''t be in for too long. The Raging me Array?is the best cultivation ground in our n. Many cultivators who have reached a bottleneck in body refinement can break through after entering for a period of time..." The raging mes were still shining in Dong Xi''s eyes. This... It was made for Dong Xi! However, she did not know if this Raging me Array could be opened to the public. Dong Xi interrupted Lie Ming and said, "Lie Ming, can outsiders enter this Raging me Array?" Lie Ming thought for a moment and said, "It''s hard to say. It depends on which elder will preside over this year. If it''s Elder Lie Que, then there''s a chance." After saying that, Lie Ming looked at Dong Xi and said, "What''s wrong? Little Xi, you want to go in?" "How can a body cultivator not want to go in?" Dong Xi said honestly. Lie Ming thought that this was indeed the case. Lie Ming said, "I''ll ask my uncleter to see if you can win this year." Dong Xi also stood up and said, "It''s better to hurry than to rush. Why don''t you go and ask immediately?" Lie Ming thought for a moment and said, "That''s fine too." Dong Xi and Mo Han went back to their room to wait. Mo Han sat on the chair while Dong Xi kept walking back and forth on the ground. The vortex in Mo Han''s eyes started spinning again. Dong Xi stopped him with a look and said, "If you dare to perform divination, I''ll get Master Tian Chen to pick you up!" Mo Han was stunned and then sat down obediently. Dong Xi took out a pen and paper and started writing in front of Mo Han. "I don''t need you to calcte, I can do it myself." When Dong Xi said this, Mo Han became even more puzzled. Everything Dong Xi was doing now was different from what Mo Han had learned in the past 200 years. Opening a hexagram was about the cycle of karma, so how could there be no bacsh? Moreover, Dong Xi could also read his fortune. It definitely would not be urate, Mo Han was certain. However, Dong Xi finished calcting the numbers in no time. Looking at the numbers on the paper, Dong Xi frowned. Mo Han went forward and looked at the messy numbers on it. He did not understand at all. Mo Han said, "How is it? No results? Or is it a bad result?" "Senior Brother, I''m afraid that it''s a bad result, and we can''t use the array," Dong Xi sighed. Mo Han subconsciously wanted to calcte with his fingers, but Dong Xi shot him a re. Mo Han was stunned. Just as she was about to pinch him, he put his fingers down and Mo Han coughed twice. "Forget it. If you don''t want to go, then don''t go. Besides, your calctions might not be urate." Mo Han had just finished speaking when Dong Xi''smunication jade slip felt warm. Dong Xi took it out and saw Lie Ming''s voice message. "The news is bad!" Lie Ming said. This time, although the host is Lie Que Zhang, you can also spar with us juniors, but you can''t go to the Raging me Array!" The room was very quiet. Lie Ming''s voice echoed in the room. Dong Xi was very bitter and Mo Han was very shocked. Wow... Was it really urate? Destiny Valley was a well-known orthodox sect in the entire Eastern Continent and the entire cultivation world. Although many people said that Destiny Valley was a fraud, it also meant that Destiny Valley was very urate. There were many algorithms recorded in the library of Destiny Valley. Mo Han had been valued by the sect since he was young. Even if he did not learn 10,000 algorithms, he had a certain level of skill. Even so, Mo Han did not know what algorithm Dong Xi was using. What kind of algorithm was Dong Xi using? Dong Xi looked at Han Mo''s eyes and found it very familiar. Li Li had the same look in his eyes back then. He had been pestering Dong Xi every day to learn the algorithm. Chapter 511 Simple

Chapter 511 Simple

Dong Xi was d that Mo Han wasn''t so thick-skinned and would not pester her like Li Li. In fact, Dong Xi was still using Li Li''s algorithm, but theplicated parts were reced with Arabic numbers, which were much simpler. Most of the things that needed to be tested with spiritual power could be reced by mathematics and statistics, so... There would not be any bacsh. Of course, this was a big problem for the people in the cultivation world who had not received nine years ofpulsory education. Dong Xi did not say anything to Mo Han. She just sent a voice message to Lie Ming using a jade slip. Dong Xi said, "Why? He could participate in the past, but not this year? Lie Ming, can you ask your n uncle to think of a way to make an exception?" When Mo Han heard what Dong Xi said, his face darkened. Lie Ming replied, "I''ve asked, but my uncle said no. This year, there are rules. Elder Lie Que has also cast the Heart Devil Curse. He won''t let outsiders enter the Raging mes Array." When Dong Xi heard that Elder Lie Que had already used the Heart Devil Curse, her heart instantly turned cold. She knew that there was no hope this time. Dong Xi sighed in the room for a long time. At this time, Daoist Yijian, who had gone out to fight, returned. Daoist Yijian saw Dong Xi''s listless and lifeless appearance. Daoist Yijian asked in puzzlement, "Little Xi, what happened? Weren''t you quite happy when he came? Was it because the Lie family didn''t treat you well?" With that, Daoist Yijian was about to leave when he said, "Who provoked you? Master will avenge you." Seeing his master''s stance, Dong Xi knew that he was not going to take revenge. He was clearly looking for an excuse to fight. Dong Xi immediately pulled Daoist Yijian back. Dong Xi said, "Master, don''t misunderstand. I heard that the Lie family''s prize is to go to the zing me Array, but we foreign cultivators are not allowed to enter at all. I''m just a little sad, but it doesn''t matter. We can still fight for other prizes." Daoist Yijian stared at Dong Xi and said, "You want to go in that badly?" "Of course, which body cultivator doesn''t want to go in?" Dong Xi said. Daoist Yijian was speechless. "I forgot that you''re also a body cultivator," said Daoist Yijian. Then, Daoist Yijian walked out and said, "You wait here, I''ll talk to Lie Huo." Dong Xi did not even have time to talk about Elder Lie Que''s Heart Devil Curse before Daoist Yijian walked out. "Forget it, Master just wants to fight. It''s useless no matter what I say," Dong Xi sighed. But this time, Dong Xi was wrong. Daoist Yijian did not go for too long. At night, when Dong Xi was cultivating under the moonlight, she was shaken awake. Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked at her master in confusion. She was stunned. Daoist Yijian loosened his grip and sat opposite Dong Xi. Daoist Yijian said, "I asked. It''s very troublesome. It''s not that the Lie family doesn''t want to part with the Raging me Array, but they''re afraid that there are demons mixed in." "Demon race?" asked Dong Xi. Ever since Dong Xi left the Beast Trainer Sect, she had not heard of the demon race. She thought that everything had long been fine. Daoist Yijian said, "Yes. Now that the demons have infiltrated a few sects, the Lie family doesn''t dare to take the risk. They''re afraid that the demons will steal their treasure. That''s the root of the n''s life!" When Dong Xi heard this, she understood. Although Master Yijian had some friendship with the Lie family, that little friendship would not cause the Lie family to take the risk. Dong Xi sighed lightly and felt relieved. "Master, although it''s a pity, it doesn''t matter. Perhaps there will be a more important time in the future." Daoist Yijian stroked Dong Xi''s head. Dong Xi''s hair had grown long enough to tie a bun on top of her head. The hair that had just grown out was ck and shiny. Dong Xi''s hair was tied up like this, and it was a little outrageous. "Good child, Master will find a suitable ce for you in the future," said Daoist Yijian. Early the next morning, what woke Dong Xi up was not her cultivation speed that had slowed down, but¡­ It was too hot. It felt like he was being roasted on fire. Dong Xi''s sweat evaporated instantly. The praying mat she was sitting on also started to burn her butt. Dong Xi immediately put away the praying mat. If he was any slower, Dong Xi was afraid that the praying mat would catch fire. At this time, Daoist Yijian and Mo Han also walked out of the house. "Master, what''s wrong?" Dong Xi asked immediately. "The temperature is so high all of a sudden." Although it was Daoist Yijian''s first time participating, Lie Huo had mentioned it two days ago, so Daoist Yijian knew the reason. Daoist Master Yijian said, "The Lie family''s secret treasure will release the fire spiritual energy that it has absorbed for many years once every 60 years. It won''t be too long, about half a month. This fire spiritual energy is simply a gift from the secret treasure to the people of the Zhu Fire Tribe, so they cherish it very much. That''s why there''s such a festival." When Dong Xi heard that it was because of the treasure, she felt relieved. Chapter 512 A Normal Phenomenon

Chapter 512 A Normal Phenomenon

"It''s fine as long as it''s a normal phenomenon. I thought it was because there are demons¡­" Dong Xi patted her chest and said. "If it was so easy to seed, how could the Lie family have a foothold again?" Daoist Yijian said. "I''m thinking too much," said Dong Xi with a smile. Daoist Yijian did not say anything else. He said, "Let''s go and join in the fun." After taking two steps, Dong Xi looked at Mo Han and said, "Little Han, are you okay?" Mo Han was indeed not feeling well. His body was not good to begin with. When others encountered such a temperature, they could still use their spiritual power to resist, but Mo Han could not. He could only rely on his body to withstand it. If Dong Xi hah not given him the Deep Sea Extreme Ice and Mo Han haad not gotten used to it in the Martial Arts Practice Field for the past two days, he would not have been able to hold on any longer. Dong Xi saw that Mo Han''s face was flushed red. Needless to say, Dong Xi could roughly tell. Just as Dong Xi was about to continue holding on, Daoist Yijian had already cast a protective barrier over Mo Han. Dong Xi looked at her master with dissatisfaction, as if she was looking at an old father who doted on his child. Daoist Yijian red at her and said, "It''s fine for you, but with Daoist Mo Han''s body, how can I allow you to do this?" "Why not?" Dong Xi bit her lip and whispered. "He had been tormented for such a long time, and his body is much better." Daoist Yijian said, "No one can seed in a short time. Daoist Ci Jiu also couldn''t refine his body to your level in a day. You gave him the gravity formation, so it''s easy for you. Why are you still torturing an honest person?" Dong Xi finally understood and said, "I almost forgot. Little Han, return the gravity formation to me." As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Daoist Yijian widened his eyes and said, "Did you just call him Little Han? Where are your manners? Call him Martial Uncle!" Dong Xi looked at her master and suddenly could not tell who was her master''s disciple, herself or Mo Han. Actually, Dong Xi could not be med for this. It was just that the hierarchy in the cultivation world was too chaotic. Li Li asked to be addressed as Senior Brother, but Mo Han was Li Li''s Junior Brother. It was not very reasonable for Dong Xi to address him as Uncle-Master, right? Mo Han did not care. Only by being so impolite like Dong Xi could Mo Han truly refine his body. If Dong Xi really treated Mo Han as a senior, it would not have such a good effect. "It doesn''t matter. It''s good that she calls me that." Daoist Yijian was speechless. Good? If someone called him Little Jian¡­ Daoist Yijian could not help but shudder. Then, he sighed in his heart. These young people''s way of thinking waspletely different from the past. Dong Xi looked at him in surprise and said, "My efforts were not in vain." Dong Xi took back the gravity array formation from Mo Han''s hands and asked her master to remove the protective shield. Daoist Yijian frowned and said, "The closer you get to the inside, the hotter it gets. Don''t fool around." Dong Xi knew that her master was being kind, but the information between the two was not equal. Her master did not know that Mo Han had the Deep Sea Extreme Ice. Dong Xi said seriously, "Master, trust me. I am not a reckless person. I have considered my options. You can protect me today, but what about in the future? It was better to take advantage of the current temperature to let Ci Jiu adapt." After saying that, Dong Xi looked at Mo Han and said, "Senior Brother, you know how your body is like. If you can''t take it anymore, tell me immediately." Dong Xi paused for a moment before continuing, "We body cultivators are originally meant to break through the limits of our bodies." If Mo Han did not know where the upper limit was, he would never be able to break through if he did not force himself once. Mo Han nodded in agreement. Then, he realized that Yi Jian was looking at him. Mo Han nodded again. Daoist Yijian also understood that Mo Han had made up his mind. With a wave of his hand, the protective shield on Mo Han''s body disappeared. Dong Xi saw the veins on Mo Han''s forehead bulging, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. "Can you still bear it?" asked Dong Xi. Mo Han nodded, and Dong Xi also rxed. Since he could still move, it meant that there was no problem. Dong Xi was very experienced in this matter. If he really reached his limit, not to mention nodding, even breathing would be superfluous. "Master, are we leaving now?" Dong Xi asked. "If we''rete, we wouldn''t be able to see the show." Daoist Yijian saw that Mo Han seemed to be fine and felt relieved. He led the two of them into the depths of zing me Valley. The entire zing me Valley was like arge funnel. It became narrower and narrower, and the temperature also became higher. When the three of them reached the square, the air began to distort, and Daoist Yijian held his breath. The square was filled with people. Everyone was wearing protective shields of various colors. Only Dong Xi and the other two were relying on their physical bodies to carry it. Dong Xi''s body tempering level was not low. With the addition of his fire spirit root and Deep Sea Extreme Ice, although her face was flushed red from the heat, it was still quite easy. Dong Xi said, "Master, I told you to give yourself a protective shield. You refused and insisted on bearing the heat with us¡­ You''re already so old. You really don''t have to be like this." Chapter 513 Who Are You Calling Old

Chapter 513 Who Are You Calling Old

When Daoist Yijian heard this, he was immediately a little unhappy. Daoist Yijian said, "Who are you calling old? Sage Wu Yang turned into a Buddhist cultivator at 8,000 years old, while I''m only 600 years old. So what if I refine my body?" Dong Xi did not dare to say anything. She said, "Master is right." Dong Xi paused for a moment and continued, "I learned it from the Hall of Techniques. After a sword cultivator substitutes his body, he can also increase the limit of his sword skills." For example, if both of them were at the Qi Refinement stage, they could only stab six times in one breath. If they were at the same time tempering their bodies, the upper limit might be eight times. If they were at the same level in a fight, the more times they stabbed, the higher the chance of winning. Dong Xi acted as if she would not tell anyone, but in return, Daoist Yijian rolled his eyes. Daoist Yijian said, "Do I need you to tell me?" Dong Xi was a little embarrassed. Forget it, let''s not talk about it. With Dong Xi''s cultivation base, it was not worth it to give pointers to her master. From this point of view, Mo Han was still easier to talk to. He would do whatever he was told to do. Mo Han was the most obedient disciple in the cultivation world. At this moment, a huge screen appeared in the Lie family''s square. As soon as it appeared, the heat immediately dropped. Mo Han sneezed and Dong Xi blinked, feeling a littleplicated. To be honest, this was the first time she had seen someone catch a cold after being in the cultivation world for so long. Dong Xi thought that no one in the cultivation world would get sick. She did not expect that she was so narrow-minded. It was not that everyone in the cultivation world would not get sick, but that everyone else was not weak. Mo Han''s physique was too weak, so he naturally could not withstand the heat and cold. He felt a faint chill. Dong Xi was also afraid that Mo Han would catch a cold and all his previous efforts would be in vain. Dong Xi said, "Don''t stop, run around the square immediately." Mo Han was speechless. There were so many people here, and he still had to run? Dong Xi was not joking, right? If he ran in the square today, wouldn''t it be too embarrassing? Seeing that Mo Han had not moved, Dong Xi frowned and said, "Hurry up and run. Don''t let your body temperature drop." As if discovering what Mo Han was thinking, Dong Xi said, "I''ll go with you." People were like this. If only one person was embarrassed, they would not do it no matter what. However, it was not too hard to ept that someone would be humiliated along with him. After that, everyone saw a man and a woman running around the square. After running fiveps, Dong Xi felt that her body was getting used to the temperature here and slowly stopped. Mo Han also stopped, but Dong Xi said, "Don''t stop. Keep going." Mo Han could not help but recall that when he first entered the sect, his Senior Brother was not as cruel as Dong Xi. However, Mo Han could not walk anymore. He opened his mouth but did not cough. Dong Xi immediately threw the pill into Mo Han''s mouth. The gentle and powerful medicinal power flowed along Mo Han''s meridians, suppressing his urge to vomit blood. Mo Han was silent for a moment before Dong Xi said, "What I said back then was wrong? You have gained the friendship of a future Alchemy Grandmaster." As he spoke, Dong Xi had a smug expression. Mo Han was also very surprised. He was not surprised that Dong Xi had a lot of pills. After all, Dong Xi was an Alchemy Sect disciple. How could she not have any pills? What Mo Han did not expect was that these pills were refined by Dong Xi. "Did you refine it yourself?" asked Mo Han. "Of course," said Dong Xi. This was a tier 4 medicinal pill. Although it was not as good as the previous one, it was not bad either. Moreover, Dong Xi had given him a top-grade pill, so the effect was even better. If it was a gift from a master from Dong Xi''s sect, then it was very normal. However, Dong Xi was already able to refine a tier 4 pill at such a young age, a top-grade one¡­ Then her future would be limitless. "You can already refine a tier 4 pill, and it''s a top-grade one?" Dong Xi nodded and said," A good Alchemist must have every pill of the highest quality. You might not understand, but I can''t sit still without this kind of quality of output." If Dong Xi''s ssmates in her previous life heard this, they would probably say that Dong Xi had obsessivepulsive disorder. Mo Han did not understand that, but he knew that an unintentional move had really won the friendship of a future Alchemy Grandmaster. As the two of them were talking, Lie Ming came over and said, "Little Xi, you guys came sote. I specially reserved a seat for you. I looked for you for a long time, but I didn''t see you." "I was dyed by something on the way here," said Dong Xi with a smile. Dong Xi did not want to go into details, but Lie Ming had heard it from someone else. Lie Ming said, "Did you really ran all the way here yourselves?" "That''s right." Dong Xi nodded. Hearing Dong Xi''s words, Lie Ming asked doubtfully, "Then why were you running just now?" Dong Xi could not possibly say that she was afraid of catching a cold, right? This reason was probably too ridiculous. Chapter 514 Lying

Chapter 514 Lying

Dong Xi thought for a moment and lied, "It''s not like we outsiders can also participate in the sparring, so we''ll familiarize ourselves with the venue in advance and feel the surrounding spiritual Qi. When we start fighting, we won''t panic." Mo Han nced at Dong Xi and saw that she was serious. Mo Han almost believed her. Lie Ming truly believed him. Lie Ming said, "That makes sense. I''ll go run around too and feel it. You can''t enter the Raging me Array, but I have a chance." Dong Xi was speechless. What a bold person. He just spoke his mind. Dong Xi looked around and did not know where her master had gone. She could only bring Mo Han to the seat that Lie Ming had reserved for her. The view from this ce was very good. She could see everything in the field, but it was a little further back. If the people in front stood up, Dong Xi would not be able to see anything. After all, they were all burly men who were almost two meters tall. Dong Xi had worked hard to develop for three years, but she was still less than 1.7 meters tall. She was still a little short and was easily drowned in the crowd. Dong Xi and Mo Han sat next to each other. Dong Xi said, "How is your body?" Mo Han did not say anything else and directly stretched out his arm in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi checked his pulse and found that everything was normal. Dong Xi said, "In a while, I''ll go and snatch the other prizes from the Lie family. I can''t treat you today." "It''s fine." Mo Han nodded. Dong Xi thought of the sparring sessionter and immediately became spirited. The prize did not matter, Dong Xi just wanted to fight. When Dong Xi Xin looked over, she saw a group of people running alongside Lie Ming. This feeling was very familiar¡­ It was a little like the feeling of gathering at seven in the morning to run exercises when she was in school in her previous life. Dong Xi shook her head. It was not advisable to blindly follow the trend. Finally, Lie Ming returned from his run. He looked at Dong Xi mysteriously and said, "Little Xi, I noticed that the spiritual energy on the back is fluctuating frequently." Dong Xi nodded. Dong Xi also knew this. "Lie Ming, do you know if there are other prizes?" Dong Xi asked. "Yes," Lie Ming whispered. Dong Xi said excitedly, "What is it?" "I don''t know either," Lie Ming replied with a serious expression." Dong Xi was speechless. Lie Ming looked mysterious. Lie Ming looked into the distance. Lie Ming said, "Look, that''s Elder Lie Huo and Elder Lie Que. They will announce the prizes, don''t be hasty." Dong Xi looked over and saw her master beside Elder Lie Huo. Elder Lie Que was not as willing to talk as the abbot of Thunder Sound Temple. He finished his wee speech in a few words and then asked someone to bring out three trays. Elder Lie Que said, "There are so many geniuses here today. In order to thank everyone for their support, my Lie family will take out three treasures as a prize." With that, someone removed the cloth from the tray. The first one had a very nice dagger on it, but she did not know what it could do. The second one looked like a bottle of pills. As for the third one, Dong Xi frowned when she saw it. What was that? Why couldn''t Dong Xi understand? On it was a somewhat vulgar¡­ flower pot? Master Lie Que began to talk about the functions of these three items. The dagger could break through armor, and the medicinal pill was the Soul Nourishing Pill. As for the flower pot¡­ It was indeed a flower pot. The flower pot was a magic tool used to carry spirit nt pets. It was very rare, but spirit nt pets were even rarer. Dong Xi instantly thought of Liu Qing at home. If Liu Qing had this flower pot, would she be able to bring Liu Qing out with her when she went out to train in the future? When the others saw the flower pot, they did not have any reaction either. Almost all of them were more interested in the dagger and the pill. Dong Xi felt that she had a chance to get this flower pot. Lie Ming secretly told Dong Xi that he wanted the Soul Nurturing Pill. The best Soul Nurturing Pill was the Nine Revolutions Pill, but until now, no one in the Immortal world could refine it. Even if Daoist Master Lingxu could only refine Six Revolution ones, Dong Xi guessed that only those Ascended cultivators could refine Nine Revolution ones. Five Revolution pills were also good stuff, but Lie Ming was so young, what did he need Soul Nurturing Pills for? "I thought you wanted the dagger." After all, Lie Ming was also very fond of fighting. "My mother really needs Soul Nurturing Pills," Lie Ming sighed. Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. It was about family matters, so she did not ask. However, if he needed a Soul Nurturing Pill, his soul would have a problem. If his soul was unstable, he would not be able to cultivate. Dong Xi could at most refine a One Revolution pill, so it should not be of much use. This time, Dong Xi did not say anything. There were a lot of people near each prize, but there were only a dozen people near the flower pot. These people did not really want the flower pot. They just felt that there were fewer people and they might be able to pick up the leftovers. Dong Xi took a number and waited at the side. ording to the Lie family''s rules, the person who came to snatch the prize could not be over 100 years old. Therefore, the person in charge of the auction had to be below the Foundation Establishment stage. Chapter 515 The Power to Fight

Chapter 515 The Power to Fight

As long as they were not at the Golden Core stage, they still had a chance. The contest for the flower pot went very smoothly. Dong Xi did not even need to use her sword. She won with just her fist technique. Dong Xi hugged the flower pot happily. When she turned around, she saw Lie Ming being knocked to the ground. The man stepped on Lie Ming''s head and said arrogantly, "A bastard is trying to fight for the Five Revolution Soul Nurturing Pill? Heh, do you want to save your mother? Come, call me ''daddy''. If daddy is happy, I might let you be." Lie Ming''s face was flushed red, but he was indeed no match for this person. The man continued, "Your mother will die for sure. Don''t waste such a treasure. Our Zhu Fire Tribe has already wasted enough resources." ¡­ Dong Xi''s expression turned ugly. She put away the flower pot and walked over. Dong Xi said, "Don''t worry, my friend. This pill isn''t yours yet. There are so many people waiting to snatch it!" The people on the stage nced at Dong Xi and saw that Dong Xi was wearing the clothes of the Ningtian Sect. There was some fear on their faces. However, when he thought about how Dong Xi seemed to be on good terms with Lie Ming these past few days, that person said mockingly, "Fellow Daoist, if you ask me, mind your own business and don''t stand up for trash." Dong Xi said, "This isn''t about standing up for yourself. Your Lie family gave you a prize, so you let peoplee up to snatch it. Or are you afraid, Fellow Daoist?" "I''m afraid?" the man asked. "I''m at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Why would I be afraid of you?" After saying that, that person kicked Lie Ming down. Dong Xi caught Lie Ming and allowed him to stand firm. Dong Xi then went up to the arena. Lie Ming did not even have time to stop her. Looking at Dong Xi''s small frame, Lie Ming was extremely worried. Lie Ming had sparred with Dong Xi for such a long time, so he had some understanding of Dong Xi''s strength. Lie Ming was worried¡­ Dong Xi was not really a match for Lie Ming. "Fellow Daoist, please give me your guidance," Dong Xi cupped her fists and said. Lie Liang''s single fire spirit and cultivation base were at the value of 94. Because of this, he was already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 72, and he might break through to the Golden Core stage at the age of 100. Such talent was already very shocking, let alone in a small family like the Lie family. The reason why Lie Liang dared to be so arrogant was also because the Lie family valued him. Dong Xi''s cultivation was one minor realm lower than Lie Liang''s, but so what? Ever since Dong Xi started cultivating, she had been fighting people of a higher level. The current Dong Xi would not be mercilessly beaten up like before even if he encountered a Golden Core stage cultivator. Dong Xi did not underestimate her opponent and took out her sword. No matter how stupid Lie Liang was, he would not underestimate the disciple of a Sword Sect Elder. A ball of me appeared in Lie Liang''s hand. Lie Liang said, "It''s not really a pointer. I''m just letting you know that you shouldn''t meddle in other people''s business." Dong Xi did not care at all. She held her sword and rushed over. Master Yijian had never seen Dong Xi use that sword technique to spar with others. Seeing Dong Xi use it, Master Yijian instantly became serious. However, after seeing Dong Xi''s starting stance, Yijian was certain that the sword moves he had taught Dong Xi back then was not like this. This little girl was really bold. She actually dared to modify the sword move with such measly cultivation? Dong Xi was not afraid of cultivation going berserk? As he watched, Master Yijian felt that Dong Xi''s change seemed quite good. This time, Dong Xi did not conceal her cultivation level. She wanted to use the fastest speed to chase Lie Liang away and help Lie Ming vent his anger. Dong Xi relied on her body cultivator level five and her fighting style, shing out one sword strike after another. The most terrifying thing was not the sword moves, but Dong Xi''s Sword Qi. After Lie Liang dodged it, he looked at Dong Xi seriously. Lie Liang realized that he would lose the initiative if he continued to drag. He had to think of another way to fight. Lie Liang wrapped Dong Xi in mes and took out his magic tool. Just as Dong Xi was about to sh open the mes that surrounded her, she was enveloped by a huge. Dong Xi frowned. She discovered that the cirction of her spiritual energy was restricted in this huge. Dong Xi stopped attacking and looked at Lie Liang. Dong Xi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you''re heartless, but you can''t me me for being unjust." Lie Liang did not understand what she meant. He only saw Dong Xi flick her wrist and a pagoda appeared. Since they were both controlling magic tools, Dong Xi also wanted to see what could be stronger than the Demon Subduing Pagoda. This guy dared to be arrogant with his little broken? Lie Liang watched as his was cut open by Dong Xi''s sword. Then, his spiritual power seemed to have been suppressed and he could not move. Lie Liang said in a panic, "You¡­ What did you do?" Dong Xi walked in front of Lie Liang and pushed him off the stage. Dong Xi kept the pagoda and said, "It''s not that I wanted to go against you, but I just want to tell you that there''s always someone better than you." Chapter 516 Fleeting in a Flash

Chapter 516 Fleeting in a sh

Time passed in the blink of an eye. It had been six years since Dong Xi had participated in the zing me Valley''s celebration. She had also grown up. Counting the days, it seemed like Dong Rourou should start practicing her swordsmanship. Dong Xi had also inquired about Dong Rourou. Even now, Dong Rourou''s master still had note to visit. Therefore, Dong Xi nned to teach her personally. Dong Xi came to the mortal world and returned to the Dong family. Old Master Dong, who was sitting in the living room and sipping tea, had also rushed back from outside. Dong Xi used her divine sense to scan and found that Old Master Dong was only in his fifties, but his footsteps were unsteady, his face was sallow, and his entire body was covered in the smell of rouge. Needless to say, this was another yboy who was about to waste his life away. When Old Master Dong saw Dong Xi, he was also somewhat shocked. Although he heard from the servants that she was not old, he did not expect her to be so young. Especially when he saw the eyes, he realized that Dong Xi''s eyes were hollow and turbid. Could she be blind? Old Master Dong sized up Dong Xi and thought that Dong Xi could not see it at all. Old Master Dong''s gaze was also very unfriendly. Old Master Dong did not know that his every move was discovered by Dong Xi''s divine sense. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before Old Master Dong walked in. Old Master Dong said, "You are Swordsman?" Dong Xi nodded. Before she descended to the mortal world, she did not really want toe, but after she really came, it did not matter. These people were rted to Dong Xi by blood, but Dong Xi did not intend to acknowledge them. She just treated them as strangers. "May I ask your honorable name?" Old Master Dong asked." "Dong Li," said Dong Xi. As he spoke, Dong Xi''s empty eyes looked at Old Master Dong. "I heard that you think highly of my daughter''s talent and want to take her as your disciple?" said Old Master Dong. Dong Xi nodded. As for talent, Dong Xi did not care at all. Dong Xi only wanted to know what Dong Rourou had experienced in the original book and why she was so cruel. She tortured the original Host to death, and even tortured the unlucky Dong Xi to death. The methods used to torture the people were much worse than the demons. It did not seem like a righteous sect could do such a thing. Now that Dong Rourou was in Dong Xi''s hands, things would be much more controble in the future. Dong Xi''s thoughts were very simple. She just needed to prevent Dong Rourou from going astray from the righteous path. Moreover, she had learned this sword technique from her master, Yijian. Although it was nothing in the cultivation world, it was an invincible existence in the mortal world. Normally, if an expert who could fight dozens of people was willing to take their child as an apprentice, they would immediately cling to her. However, Old Master Dong was not an ordinary person. Elder Dong said, "Thank you for thinking highly of me, Sir. I can''t make the decision for my daughter. I need to discuss it with her brother." Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Tianya? "I won''t be here for too long. You guys decide as soon as possible," Dong Xi stood up and said. Old Master Dong''s attitude was very good. If this person was really the kind of guest from the sky that they had guessed, the Dong family would not dare to offend him at all. "How about this? You can stay in the residence for now. We''ll give you an answer after we''ve discussed it." "That works too," Dong Xi said. The Dong family was the most familiar in the original owner''s memory. Dong Xi followed the butler through the familiar stairs and corridors to the guest room. When Dong Xi entered the door, she suddenly heard some sounds. Dong Xi turned around and saw a familiar figure. However, it disappeared very quickly. Dong Xi withdrew her divine sense and entered the guest room. The housekeeper sent a servant girl over, but Dong Xi declined politely. Dong Xi was the only one left in the room. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Dong Xi used her divine sense to check. When she saw the person outside, she was instantly stunned. Then, Dong Xi stood up and opened the door. The moment the door opened, the person outside immediately entered the room. Song Qingfeng looked into Dong Xi''s eyes and said, "Little Xi, how did it be like this?" Dong Xi said indifferently, "I saw something that I shouldn''t have seen. It''s nothing. Master said that I''ll be fine after a while." Hearing this, Song Qingfeng was relieved. He said, "Then why are you here?" "Of course I''m going to my own home. Why are you here?" Dong Xi said in surprise. "Aren''t you looking for Third Senior Brother?" Song Qingfeng widened his eyes and said in shock, "This... Is it your house?" Dong Xi immediately covered Song Qingfeng''s mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. I snuck back here. No one here knows." Song Qingfeng''s eyes were filled with surprise. He then signaled Dong Xi to let go. However, when Dong Xi realized that she could not see anything and did not know what to do, she let go of Song Qingfeng. "Senior Brother, didn''t Master say that you were surrounded? Why are you here?" asked Dong Xi. "Where did Third Senior Brother go?" "I am, but at the same time, I am not," Song Qingfeng sighed. "Speak in humannguage, don''t be mysterious." Dong Xi immediately said. Song Qingfeng was speechless. Chapter 517 Being Set Up

Chapter 517 Being Set Up

Song Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "I can''t find the person I''m looking for. I was trapped in... Your house." The two of them exchanged information and suddenly came to a realization. Song Qingfeng knew that Dong Xi was the eldest daughter of the Dong family, and she had reced Dong Rourou in the cultivation world. Dong Xi also found out that after leaving this ce, the Dong family no longer recognized Dong Xi''s existence. Dong Rourou had also be the Eldest Young Miss. "I took Dong Rourou''s spot to cultivate, so it''s normal for them to do this," Dong Xi said with a smile." After saying that, Dong Xi''s divine sensended on Song Qingfeng again. "Junior Sister," Song Qingfeng shook his head and said, "You know that cultivators value karma. If you really steal someone else''s opportunity, you will be punished in the future." Dong Xi was speechless. Could it be that the original body''s fate was retribution? Dong Xi was a little flustered. She had thought that she would be able to escape from the situation of certain death now that her cultivation had increased. However, she did not expect that there would be other retribution¡­ Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi''s dazed expression and said, "The situation in your family is too strange. Is your brother also a cultivator?" Dong Xi said, "It is all thanks to this good brother that I was able to enter the Ningtian Sect." Song Qingfeng sighed and said, "Master sealed my cultivation. I''m only at the third level of Qi Refinement stage. Third Senior Brother has no cultivation and is now trapped in your house. Your brother told us to teach your sister skills before we can leave." "?" Dong Xi seemed to have thought of something and said, "Could it be that you taught Dong Rourou swordsmanship?" "I want to, but I want to know it too!" Song Qingfeng shook his head. Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Song Qingfeng continued, "That was taught by Third Brother." Dong Xi was speechless. Dong Xi was especially puzzled as to why her two Senior Brothers had fallen to such a state. Dong Xi said, "You and Third Senior Brother are both smarter than the other. How did he set you up?" Song Qingfeng thought about what happened before. After a moment, Song Qingfeng said, "He did not do it intentionally. Although I don''t know how he knew that Third Brother and I wereing back, he must have known something long ago." Dong Xi remained silent. This was also the most likely reason Dong Xi believed that Dong Tianya had also been reborn. Dong Xi looked at the original book. It did not mention that Dong Rourou was once under the name of her stepmother, and there was very little mention of anything else. Dong Rourou entered the Sword Dao and ascended to the cultivation world alone. Now, because of Dong Xi, everything was different from the book. However, there was one thing that Dong Xi could not figure out. If Dong Tianya was also reborn, why would he help Dong Rourou arrange a marriage when he knew that his sister would ascend to the Immortal Cultivation World and that she was talented in sword cultivation? Dong Xi thought for a long time, but she did not know the reason. Song Qingfeng saw that Dong Xi did not say anything for a long time, so he instinctively waved his hand in front of Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng was suddenly stunned. He remembered that Dong Xi could not see him now¡­ At this moment, Dong Xi came back to her senses and said, "Second Senior Brother, with your and Third Senior Brother''s abilities, you can''t leave the Dong family?" Song Qingfeng nodded and said, "There''s an array formation here. Dong Tianya knew that the person I''m looking for might be rted to the Dong family, so he led us here. This array formation is useless to mortals. If Third Senior Brother and I were at our peak, we could also get out. But now, both of us have lost our cultivation." Dong Xi released a wisp of her consciousness onto Song Qingfeng''s face. Song Qingfeng frowned. It was obvious that things had gone beyond his expectations. "Second Senior Brother, who exactly are you looking for?" Dong Xi asked. Song Qingfeng sighed and didn''t say anything for a long time. Dong Xi also realized that this was someone else''s family matter and should not ask too much. Dong Xi said, "If you can''t say it, just pretend that I didn''t ask..." Without waiting for Dong Xi to finish, Song Qingfeng said, "There''s nothing that can''t be said. The person I''m looking for is Third Aunt." Dong Xi was instantly stunned. She had thought of many possibilities before, such as a lost sister, a lover separated from the mortal world¡­ The only person he did not expect was an aunt. "The one who asked me to perform a divination to find?" Dong Xi said. "600 years old, the one with the water spirit root?" "Yes," said Song Qingfeng. "Have you found her?" Dong Xi immediately asked. "Are there really mortals that are of that age in the mortal world?" "What? You don''t believe it?" Song Qingfeng asked. Dong Xi was speechless. Song Qingfeng continued, "I found her, but she doesn''t have the water spirit root you mentioned." "Hm?" Dong Xi said. "Who is it?" "ording to what you said, you''re the Dong family''s legitimate daughter. The person I''m looking for might be your mother." Dong Xi was speechless. If it was true, then Song Qingfeng''s Third Aunt was Dong Xi''s mother, and Dong Xi was Song Qingfeng''s cousin. Chapter 518 You Are a Song Family Member

Chapter 518 You Are a Song Family Member

Song Qingfeng thought the same as he stroked Dong Xi''s hair. "Besides, I already knew that you''re a member of the Song family." As soon as he said this, the scenes of the two of them shed through Dong Xi''s mind. No wonder Song Qingfeng''s attitude towards Dong Xi was so strange. This could also exin why Dong Xi was able to cultivate the Song n''s cultivation technique, as well as the blood from the be that Second Senior Brother had given her. "That drop of blood back then¡­" said Dong Xi. "It''s useless," Song Qingfeng said immediately. "I just activated my bloodline. At first, I thought that you were from the side branch of the Song family. I didn''t expect you to be my cousin." Perhaps it was because Dong Xi was a little agitated, but his divine sense was also very active. Song Qingfeng raised his head and looked into Dong Xi''s eyes. Song Qingfeng said, "Little Xi, you can release your divine sense?" Dong Xi nodded. Song Qingfeng widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "You''re already in the Golden Core stage?" Song Qingfeng was only in the advanced Golden Core stage. He knew thating to the human world would dy his cultivation, but he did not stay for that long. Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, Dong Xi had already reached the Golden Core stage? How did this girl cultivate so quickly? Dong Xi noticed Song Qingfeng''s expression and knew that Song Qingfeng had misunderstood. Dong Xi said, "No, I just had some fortuitous encounters and was able to release my divine sense." Only then did Song Qingfeng rx. Song Qingfeng said, "What is your current cultivation level?" Dong Xi''s lips curled into a smile as she said, "One step to Golden Core." Song Qingfeng was speechless. Song Qingfeng did not want to know why his aunt''s spirit root was gone. He wanted to go back to seclusion and wait to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. If his Junior Sister caught up to him so quickly, wouldn''t Song Qingfeng lose face as a Senior Brother? "Second Senior Brother, ording to your words, my mother is the person you''re looking for. But she doesn''t have a spirit root?" Dong Xi immediately said. "Do you know where my mother''s spirit root went?" Song Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don''t know. I''ve been trapped here since I came here. I''ve never seen my aunt." "Since my mother''s spirit root can be gone, then I have to¡­" said Dong Xi. When Song Qingfeng heard this, he became nervous. Song Qingfeng said, "Your spirit root is gone too?" "I don''t have a water spirit root." Song Qingfeng had always known about this. Song Qingfeng said, "Not every member of the Song family has a water spirit root. Look at me... I only have a fire and wood spirit root, right?" "I have the Innate Moon Spirit Body," said Dong Xi lightly. "I''ll send a message to my father," Song Qingfeng said seriously. Dong Xi nodded. If someone came to help, it would naturally be better than letting their imagination run wild. "Tomorrow, I''ll think of a way to see my mother," said Dong Xi. "Third Senior Brother and I have been here for a few months," Song Qingfeng said helplessly. "It would be fine if you didn''te in. But now that you''re here, how can you leave?" Dong Xi instantly thought of two escape ns. After Dong Xi thought for a moment, she decided to take advantage of the situation. Dong Xi said, "I''ll think of a way. When I get out, I''lle back to save you." At this point, Dong Xi suddenly thought of something and said, "Second Senior Brother, Dong Tianya asked you to teach Dong Rourou skills, and only then he''ll allow you to leave? Third Senior Brother taught her swordsmanship, but what about you?" Dong Xi remembered that in the original book, Dong Rourou did not have a fire spirit root and could not refine pills. "I can teach the zither," Song Qingfeng said with a smile." Dong Tianya did not say that he had to teach other skills. Of course, ying the zither was also possible. ... The two of them chatted for a while before Dong Xi chased Song Qingfeng out. She told him that she would look for Song Qingfeng tomorrow morning and that Song Qingfeng must remember to wait at the door tomorrow morning. After Song Qingfeng left, Dong Xi went to the courtyard. Dong Xi could clearly feel the energy fluctuations here. She snorted lightly and drew two runes on the ground. After everything was done, Dong Xi took out a jar of wine from his ring and drew a recement rune on it. After he finished drawing, Dong Xi sat on the ground and listened to the movements around him. After some time, footsteps sounded. Dong Xi used her divine sense to see who it was. Dong Xi opened the bottle of wine and gulped it down, spilling a lot of wine on his body. When the person approached, Dong Xi pretended that she did not hold it firmly and the wine jar rolled out. Dong Xi opened her eyes and stood up unsteadily. Looking at the servant girl who was walking over, Dong Xi said, "Can you¡­ give me back the wine?" As he spoke, Dong Xi even burped a few times. The servant girl had heard from the butler that this was a distinguished guest of the Dong family. She could note over and disturb her, let alone offend her. The servant girl immediately picked up the wine jar that had fallen to the ground. The rich fragrance of the wine made the servant girl somewhat intoxicated... Chapter 519 The Disappearing Spirit Root

Chapter 519 The Disappearing Spirit Root

Just like that, after spending a few months in the Dong Residence, Song Qingfeng slowly found out the truth about Dong Xi and his mother''s water spirit root. Early in the morning, a series of footsteps came from outside the door. Dong Xi immediately used her divine sense to investigate who hade. Dong Xi immediately let down her guard when she realized it was Second Senior Brother. Song Qingfeng pushed open the door and entered the room. He saw that Dong Xi had already woken up. "Little Xi," Song Qingfeng said, "I''ve basically investigated the matter between you and your mother." When Dong Xi heard this, waves of emotions surged in her heart. After all, Dong Xi had an Innate Spirit Body. No matter what, it was impossible for her to not have a water spirit root! "What''s going on?" Dong Xi asked. Song Qingfeng''s face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "All of this is rted to Dong Tianya." When Dong Xi heard this, she had some guesses in her heart. His mother was already very old, and it was unlikely for Dong Tianya to live that long. Without waiting for Dong Xi to ask, Song Qingfeng continued, "It can''t be said that it has something to do with Dong Tianya. It should be said that everything is a conspiracy of Dong Tianya''s father." Through Song Qingfeng''s exnation, Dong Xi finally understood what was going on. Back then, Song Qingfeng''s aunt, who was also Dong Xi''s mother, came to the mortal world without permission. She had wanted to tour the mountains and enjoy the scenery, but she had not expected to fall in love with Dong Tianya''s father. Dong Tianya''s father was also a cultivator, but he was inextricably linked to the demon race. The two of them had been living happily in the mortal world for hundreds of years. One day, Dong Chou brought Dong Tianya back from the outside world and taught him carefully. Song Qingfeng''s aunt was very confused, but after Dong Chou''s exnation, Song Qingfeng''s aunt believed him. Not long after, Dong Chou imprisoned Song Qingfeng''s aunt. One night, he forcefully took away Song Qingfeng''s aunt''s water spirit root. After that, Song Qingfeng''s aunt gave birth to Dong Xi, but Dong Chou took her away. Dong Xi, who now knew everything, was furious. ording to Song Qingfeng, Dong Chou was the original Host''s biological father. Why would he do such a cruel thing? No matter what, she was still Dong Chou''s daughter! Song Qingfeng also wanted to know everything. "That''s all we know at the moment. If we can take Dong Tianya down¡­" said Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi nodded. He knew that this was the only way at the moment. However, Second Senior Brother''s cultivation base had been sealed. How could Dong Xi be a match for Dong Tianya by herself? After pondering for a moment, Dong Xi thought of the Big Snake. Dong Xi immediately said in his sea of consciousness, "Big Snake, Big Snake, are you there?" After waiting for a long time, she did not receive any response. "Little Xi, we still need to think about this matter. I''ll think of a way to contact Master," said Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi nodded and Song Qingfeng stood up to leave. Dong Xi was a little depressed. He was so ruthless now, but the Big Snake did not care. Just as Dong Xi was about to take the risk and go all out, the Big Snake''s voice sounded in his sea of consciousness. "You shouldn''t take any risks in your current state," said Su Cheng. When Dong Xi heard the Big Snake''s voice, she immediately perked up. "You''re finally awake. Can you help me this once?" Dong Xi asked. Su Cheng had not fallen asleep, so he heard Song Qingfeng''s words clearly. Over the years, Su Cheng and Dong Xi had gone through many things together. The two of them had long developed feelings for each other. However, no one said anything about it. "I''ll help you ording to your n," Su Cheng said lightly. Dong Xi received the snake''s reply. She immediately took out hermunication jade slip and sent a message to Song Qingfeng. [Second Senior Brother, I already have a way. We''ll take action tonight.] ... In the middle of the night, Dong Xi deliberately made a noise. Dong Tianya had always been paying attention to Dong Xi and the others. Now that such a loud noise had suddenly appeared, Dong Tianya immediately rushed over. When he arrived at the courtyard, Dong Tianya did not notice anything unusual. Not long after, Song Qingfeng walked out. "Master Song, it''ste. Why don''t you go back to your room and rest?" Dong Tianya asked with a cold expression. "Why did you imprison my aunt?" Song Qingfeng sneered. Dong Tianya remained silent. Since things had alreadye to this, there was naturally no room for retreat. However, Song Qingfeng did not have much cultivation, so Dong Tianya was naturally not afraid. Dong Xi also walked out of the house. "Dong Tianya, look at who I am," said Dong Xi. Only then did Dong Tianya take a closer look and discover that it was Dong Xi. "You, why did youe back?" Dong Tianya said with some fear. Dong Xi sneered, "Why are you panicking?" "I''m not panicking!" Dong Tianya said. Chapter 520 Lovers Will Be Together

Chapter 520 Lovers Will Be Together

Dong Xi did not want to waste any more time. No matter what he asked now, Dong Tianya would not say anything. Only by beating Dong Tianya into submission would he know the answer. The two of them did not waste any time and directly started fighting. As Song Qingfeng did not have much cultivation, he could only stand at the side and throw out a handful of talisman papers from time to time. Dong Tianya also did not expect that Dong Xi would actually have such a high cultivation. And now that she was in the mortal world, she was not affected at all. Dong Tianya took out a porcin bottle and swallowed all the pills inside. Dong Tianya''s spiritual power increased rapidly, and he suffered a lot of pain. "You forced me to do this. I can only send you away now!" Dong Tianya said through gritted teeth." Dong Xi and Song Qingfeng''s expressions changed drastically. They did not expect Dong Tianya to be so crazy. Dong Xi could only shout in his sea of consciousness, "Big Snake,e out quickly!" Su Cheng immediately appeared and blocked Dong Tianya''s heavy blow. Song Qingfeng was stunned when he saw the sudden appearance of this man. Isn''t this Demon Lord Su Cheng? Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi in disbelief. Song Qingfeng said, "Little Xi, you entered the demonic path?" Dong Xi shook her head. Song Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief. "Little Xi, you''re still young. Don''t have any evil thoughts. This Demon Lord isn''t a good person." Dong Xi immediately raised his hand to stop Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi said, "Senior Brother, listen to me. The Big Snake is no longer a Demon Lord! He no longer has any demonic Qi and is a cultivator like us." Song Qingfeng could not care less. He sent a message and said, "Little Xi, you are still young, don''t be tempted by this demon." After saying that, he immediately sent the message. When Daoist Lingxu received the message from his disciple, he was instantly stunned and immediately went to look for the Daoist Sect Master. When they found out that Demon Lord Su Cheng and Dong Xi were together, everyone could not believe it. Soon, the eight sects gathered and decided to descend to the mortal world together to destroy the Demon Lord, Su Cheng. ... Su Cheng dealt with Dong Tianya very quickly. Dong Xi and the others also knew the whole truth of the matter. The main culprit, Dong Chou, had long died. Dong Tianya was merely following Dong Chou''s instructions. Fortunately, her mother was fine now. She just needed to find her water spirit root. Dong Xi did not intend to kill himpletely. She directly crippled Dong Tianya''s cultivation and let him spend his final moments in the mortal world. Su Cheng knew that Song Qingfeng had informed the cultivation world and was about to leave. A handful of talismans was thrown near Su Cheng. "Don''t even think about leaving, Demon!" Song Qingfeng said. Su Cheng''s eyes turned cold. If it was not for Dong Xi, Song Qingfeng would have been a dead man. Dong Xi immediately stood in front of Su Cheng and said, "Senior brother, I told you, he''s not a Demon Lord anymore. He''s just an ordinary cultivator!" Song Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Little Xi, don''t be fooled by him. How can a Demon Lord like him be better?!" Song Qingfeng only wanted to stall for time. When his master and the others arrived, this demon would definitely not be able to escape. ... Master Lingxu and the others came to the mortal world and surrounded Su Cheng. Dong Xi stood beside Su Cheng and shouted, "Master, you don''t believe me either? Su Cheng really isn''t a Demon Lord!" Master Lingxu thought that Dong Xi had been bewitched by Su Cheng. In order not to hurt Dong Xi, Su Cheng used his spiritual power to push Dong Xi to the side of Lingxu. Then, he started fighting with the others. Dong Xi wanted to rush over but was grabbed by Lingxu. "Listen to me, he''s really not what you think he is," Dong Xi cried. Master Lingxu directly knocked Dong Xi out with a palm strike. Su Cheng saw that Dong Xi was safe, so he fought with the others and left. ... After more than ten years, Dong Xi had already be slim and graceful, and her cultivation had risen quite a bit. However, Dong Xi had been thinking about Su Cheng all these years. Dong Xi searched everywhere in the cultivation world and the mortal world, but she could not find Su Cheng. Every time she heard any news, Dong Xi would return dejectedly. On this day, Dong Xi heard that the Demon Lord had appeared in Foutai City. Dong Xi immediately rushed over, but she did not find anything. Dong Xi was extremely disappointed. She found a tavern and drank alone. At this moment, a voice was heard. Su Cheng said, "After so many years, you''re still so greedy for alcohol?" Dong Xi turned around in disbelief. When she saw Su Cheng''s tall figure, her eyes were filled with tears. "Why didn''t youe and find me?" Dong Xi asked. "I''m here," Su Cheng said with a smile. Dong Xi went forward and hugged Su Cheng. Dong Xi said, "Big Snake, don''t ever leave me." "Alright," said Su Cheng. The Novel will be updated first on this website.
