Chapter 39：Outer Sect? (1/2)

Luo Mei looked at the flower in her hand as tears started streaming down her eyes. He hands holding the lily were slightly shivering.

Alex was surprised to see this. He had expected to see her surprised face, or maybe even eyes bulging out of their sockets. But never had he expected her to just cry.

”Is Spiritual Sense really that good?” he couldn't help but ask.

Luo Mei wiped her tears and answered, ”Of Course it's good. It's something you can only unlock after reaching the Saint realm, if that's not good then I don't know what is.”

”Saint Realm??” it was his turn to get shocked now. Luo Mei took out a small jade box and kept the Spirit Cleansing Lily in there. She then kept the bag in her storage bag and thanked Alex once more.

”I will take my leave now, Daoist Yu. I hope we will meet again.” She said her goodbyes and started walking back towards the city.

”Wait, Daoist Luo.” He immediately cried out.

Luo Mei stopped and looked back. ”What is it, Daoist Yu? Do you require something now?” she asked.

Alex looked a little embarrassed and scared as he said, ”This area is too much for me to handle. Would you mind if I tag along until I got a bit out of the forest?”

Alex felt like crying at the fact that she just called him weak so nonchalantly. 'Alchemy is important, but I need to get stronger too.' He thought.

They walked back in a different direction from the previous one under Alex's request. Along the way he found many more alchemy ingredients.

By now, he had more than half the ingredients for most of the recipes he knew. For some, he even had all the ingredients. He couldn't wait to return and perform some more alchemy.

On the way back, a silver fox-like monster appeared before them. Alex read its name, [Swift Wolf: Bone Tempering 4nd Realm]. The monster was a realm higher than him.

Luo Mei casually took out her sword and slashed it horizontally. The swift wolf immediately jumped to the side but was still grazed by the incoming slash. There was a long gash on its back and was now bleeding into its silver fur.

The moment it got hurt, it ran away. It really did live up to its name and was very swift.

”Should we follow it?” Alex asked.

”No need. Unless that monster finds a monster core of a monster stronger than it, it won't survive my attack. The most it can live for now is 2 days.” Luo Mei was very confident in her attack.

”What does a monster core have to do with other monsters?” he asked.

”Monsters cultivate very slowly, so one way to cultivate faster for them is to hunt down other monsters and eat their cores. Similarly, when they are hurt eating other monster's cores helps them heal as well. But the monster core should also come from a relatively high-level monster for it to work. Otherwise, it would have to eat many low cultivation monsters.” Luo Mei replied

”I see,” Alex was grateful for her teaching him different things.

After a while, they were nearly out of the forest when all 3 of them stopped. There was noise in front of them.
