”Bro, thank you so much. If it wasn't for you, we would both have died under the claws of that magical beast.” Yan Le looked at Bai Chen and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Bai Chen smiled when he heard that. ”Big Brother Bai, it was you who saved me from the hands of the magical beasts. Shouldn't I thank you for that?”

Yan Le did not say anything else. He knew that Bai Chen did not want him to have feelings for her.

Although it was true that Yan Le had saved Bai Chen from the clutches of the Magic Beasts, if Bai Chen had not risked his life to walk out of the cave and hold the Magic Beast back, Yan Le would not have had the chance to break through to the Spirit Sect realm.

”We can be considered to have been friends for a long time. If you don't mind, I am willing to become your brother.” At this time, Yan Le spoke again.

Hearing this, Bai Chen immediately laughed, ”Of course, to be able to become sworn brothers with Big Brother Yan is my honor, so how can I be disdainful of it!”

Bai Chen had a straightforward and loyal personality. This kind of person was the type that Bai Chen liked to befriend.

”Haha, good.”

Yan Le laughed loudly. He took out a jar of wine and bowl from his space ring and poured it full.

He passed a bowl of wine to Bai Chen, who received it with a smile. The two of them knelt down beside the bonfire.

”I am Yan Le!”

”I, Bai Chen!”

”In this life, we have been fortunate enough to be sworn brothers in the name of righteous wine. From today onwards, we shall address each other as brothers and share difficulties and blessings with each other!”

The two of them raised the wine bottle above their heads and said in unison.

With that, the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

”Big brother!”

”Brother!”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

Yan Le was a few years older than Bai Chen, so he should be Bai Chen's big brother. Bai Chen had never thought that in the future, his big brother, who he was sworn brothers, would have a very important influence on him.

Bai Chen did not know what would happen in the future. He only knew that from then on, he would have another brother in this world. Although he was not his biological father and did not have any blood ties, this did not hinder the brotherhood between the two of them.

Under the moonlight at night, the two of them drank their wine and the two brothers chatted for the night. It seemed that because of the bowl of wine, the relationship between the two of them was closer.

The two of them had nothing to say during the night, so they left early the next morning, heading out of the Dark Night Mountain Range.

Their current location was at the outskirts of the mountain range and very close to the foot of the mountain. Thus, after travelling for two days, the two of them returned to Qiu City.

They sold all the valuable items from the Spirit Sect magical beast to the market and exchanged them for more than two hundred Spirit Stones.

This was a Spirit Sect magical beast. Their fur could be used to make defensive gear, their bones could be used to make hard blunt weapons, and even their internal organs could be used as fertilizer for spirit medicine. In short, their entire body was a treasure!

”Second brother, I've just entered the Spirit Sect's domain and have not stabilized yet. I want to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. After I come out, we'll go to the Mercenary Guild to adventure!” After exiting the city square, Yan Le immediately spoke up.

Bai Chen knew about Yan Le's situation. He had just entered the Spirit Sect and had a great battle with a magical beast. Although he had defeated the magical beast, he had suffered quite a bit of injury, so he hadn't been able to stabilize his cultivation.

”Don't worry about me, elder brother. I will wait for you inside the city for you to come out!” Bai Chen said with a smile.

Soon after, the two of them landed in an inn in the city. Yan Le immediately entered a state of seclusion.

Five days passed in a flash. Because Yan Le was in seclusion, Bai Chen didn't have much to do every day. He also cultivated in his room. Although tedious cultivation was an essential process for a Spirit Master, it wasn't of much use to the current Bai Chen.

This was because his physical body had to be at the same level as his cultivation level in order to cultivate the Nirvana Body Tempering Scripture. Otherwise, he would not be able to unleash his maximum combat strength.

At the very least, for the current Bai Chen, cultivation was temporarily unnecessary. The most important thing for him now was to raise his physical body's grade as quickly as possible in order to coordinate with his cultivation realm to unleash the greatest power.

Bai Chen glanced at Yan Le, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed with his eyes closed. At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Before entering closed-door training, Yan Le had said that this training session of his should last for about a month. Since he still had so much time, why couldn't he go to the Dark Night Mountain Range to train his physical strength?

In any case, he wouldn't be able to make much progress while cultivating in this room every day. If he could do some practical combat, he would definitely be able to raise his physical body's level.

Bai Chen's eyes darted around, and he made up his mind. Since he wanted to do it, he would do it. He got a waiter to get a pen and paper for him to leave a letter for Yan Le.

Although Yan Le had said that his closed door cultivation would continue for a month, no one was certain about the matters regarding his cultivation. It was not impossible that Yan Le might wake up tomorrow, so Bai Chen had left a letter explaining where he would go.

After which, Bai Chen left the inn and headed straight for the Dark Night Mountain Range. The mountain range wasn't too far away from Qiu City, and with Bai Chen's tutorial, it would only take two days to reach there.

Arriving once again at the Dark Night Mountain Range, this time Bai Chen was alone, so he had to be extremely careful.

The Dark Night Mountain Range was a paradise for magical beasts. If a person didn't have enough strength, no one would dare to come here. The mountain range was divided into three layers: the outer layer, the middle layer, and the inner layer.
