After a day of traveling, Su Qing retreated to her tent for rest after dinner.
She pulled out a talisman and pressed it on herself; the clothes that had been stained with a lot of dust and grass clippings instantly became as clean as new.
“What a pity I can’t take a bath!”
Su Qing sighed in her heart.
Ever since she started traveling, she hadn’t had a bath for quite some time.
She reached out to her storage bag to take out the bedding inside, but she was suddenly startled.
Without her knowing when, an additional storage bag had appeared on her waist.
Taking off the storage bag, she quickly summoned a bright spell and took a closer look.
The more she looked at it, the more terrified she became.
This storage bag unexpectedly belongs to Xiao Yi!
She had known Xiao Yi for a long time, just like Xu Mu, their relationship was merely that of clients.
When she heard that the Soul Forging Sect was coming, Chi family was unwilling to take her along, and Song family was unable to protect itself either, she took the initiative to approach Xiao Yi.
Having known him for so long, she recognized Xiao Yi’s storage bag.
There was an embroidery of a red flower on it.
“Didn’t Xiao Yi die already? How is his storage bag with me? Could it be sent by him after he turned evil?”
Su Qing’s eyes flickered, she was a little scared and wanted to throw it away, but her curiosity made her want to see what was inside.
If it really was Xiao Yi’s storage bag, she would be extremely lucky!
“I’ll just take a peek! If there’s nothing, I’ll throw it away!”
Su Qing thought to herself.
There was no seal on the storage bag, so she refined it easily.
Upon opening, she found no expected magic artifacts or spirit stones, only a secret manual and a black jade token.
“Sky-Replenishing Jue? Isn’t this the martial method Xiao Yi practiced? What does it mean?”
She felt that it was not given by Xiao Yi, but very likely by someone else who knew her.
After she read the manual, she was even more sure about her conjecture.
“Trying to help me without disclosing identity? Who could this be?”
Excitement flickered in Su Qing’s heart.
Previously, she felt totally lost about her future, however, knowing that there was an expert secretly protecting her, she immediately became confident.
“Whoever was capable of killing Xiao Yi must be at least in the Qi Cultivation Late Stage. I should probe those in the late stage of Qi cultivation from our team tomorrow!”
“No, at the time when Xiao Yi was in trouble, all the practitioners in the late stage of Qi cultivation were together, it couldn’t have been them, it’s very likely someone from the other teams!”
“Doesn’t matter, worst case I’ll probe everyone, as long as he or she is willing to protect me, it shouldn’t be hard to find!”
She then picked up the Sky-Replenishing Jue and began to study it, preparing to change her cultivation method.
She’s about to reach the limit of her current method, Furnace Gate, and if she doesn’t switch soon, it’ll be too late.
As for the part about absorbing Qi, she didn’t pay much attention, because she heard from Xiao Yi that indiscriminate Qi absorption before reaching a sophisticated” level in cultivation could result in impure Qi in the body, doing more harm than good.
The target of Qi absorption must be pure and shouldn’t have leaked Yang Qi, it’s not something that can be used casually.
Even if she wanted to absorb Qi, she would have to prepare for a long time in advance.
Midnight!
Overhead, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rolled, and beads of rain continually fell, making the leaves rustle.
More than twenty of Xu Mu’s group, having cast rain-protecting skills onto themselves, followed behind the two individuals in the late stage of Qi cultivation, patrolling the periphery of the camp.
“Monster beast!

In the pitch-black darkness where one couldn’t see one’s hand in front of one’s face, an abrupt flash of green light appeared, Lu Zhen, the man responsible for leading the party, immediately alerted everyone.
Xu Mu and the rest immediately conjured their spells, releasing blades of green wind and shot them towards where the green light was.
Roar!
A low growl reverberated through the forest, a black shadow dodged the attack and charged towards them at extreme speed.
“Beast! Looking for death!”
Lu Zhen flicked his sleeve, a cyan beam shot out and instantly struck the charging black shadow.
The black shadow let out a pitiful cry, attempting to turn and flee.
Several more wind blades were subsequently released from within the group, utterly killing the black shadow.
An individual responsible for collecting the bodies walked up, first casting a light spell to examine the situation.
Xu Mu noticed that it was a black leopard of a calf’s size with white hair on its hooves.
Only after confirming it was dead did the individual begin to remove its parts.
“It’s a tier-two monster beast, Cloud-Walking Leopard!” Lu Zhen’s brow furrowed slightly.
“This is already the third one we’ve encountered!” Wu Lan, who stood at the side, sighed gently.
As the group travelled deeper, the significant number of individuals became a huge attraction to monster beasts. Each day they could encounter over a dozen or so monsters, with the proportion of tier-two monster beasts steadily increasing.
Xu Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, he knew the time to separate was near.
By the next day, Ouyang Ying had already found him.
“Friend Xu, we can no longer continue with the group. Currently, we’re just attracting some low-level monster beasts, which we can barely deal with. If we attract a Foundation Establishment Stage monster beast, we’ll be in trouble!”
