If it were her previous life, after experiencing all sorts of brutal battles, Zi Qingyue would have chosen to support Ye Chen without hesitation.

Or, without Ye Chen even having to say a word, Zi Qingyue would personally kill these people and steal the treasure!

However……

In this life, Zi Qingyue has not yet experienced that coldness and cruelty.

What she thought about most was upholding justice, going down the mountain to help the world, and fighting against the strong and helping the weak!

It was for this reason that Ye Chen did not reveal his true thoughts, fearing that Zi Qingyue would not be able to accept them!

"Senior sister, the spiritual energy here is abundant. Please protect me for now."

Since he had nothing better to do, Chen Xiu took out the medicinal herbs that Murong Shaobo had collected, preparing to make a breakthrough.

"Um."

Zi Qingyue nodded obediently, her watery eyes looking at Chen Xiu with tenderness.

Then, Chen Xiu sat cross-legged on the ground and began his breakthrough.

He took out all the medicinal herbs from his spatial storage, manipulated the flames with one hand, and refined them into elixirs.

The entire process was incredibly skillful, the alchemy technique flowing like clouds and water, leaving Zi Qingyue dumbfounded.

Taoism also has sects that practice alchemy. As the head of Longhu Mountain, Zi Qingyue naturally understands how high the talent required for alchemy is.

"Zero failures? That's terrifying!"

As she watched the pills take shape, a look of utter shock appeared on Zi Qingyue's delicate face.

Then, Chen Xiu began to absorb these elixirs and the surrounding spiritual energy.

Zi Qingyue could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy gathering towards Chen Xiu...

The spiritual energy in the Ten Thousand Mountains was abundant. Chen Xiu greedily absorbed the spiritual energy within a radius of more than ten kilometers. His clothes fluttered without wind, and his chest swelled up high, then slowly slumped down with each breath.

Each time the indentation occurred, two long white wisps of mist would appear from Chen Xiu's nostrils.

This is the turbid air exhaled after absorbing and digesting spiritual energy.

With each breath, Chen Xiu's spiritual energy increased, and he finally broke through the bottleneck of the third level of the Immortal Emperor Longevity Emperor, a bottleneck he had been unable to overcome!

Bang!

Zi Qingyue seemed to have heard the commotion.

A protective aura enveloped Chen Xiu's body, making his originally fair skin even more radiant, and one could even see strands of spiritual energy flowing within his body.

Then, the spiritual energy slowly disappeared, and Chen Xiu returned to his normal state.

But Zi Qingyue could clearly sense that her junior brother's strength had broken through a significant barrier again!

"The third level of the Immortal Emperor Longevity Emperor, Invincible Vajra, has finally been achieved!"

Chen Xiu was very excited.

At his previous level, although he was invulnerable to swords and spears, he still had to be somewhat wary of powerful nuclear weapons.

But now, Chen Xiu is fully capable of withstanding nuclear weapons and remains invincible!

In addition to making his body as hard as diamond, King Kong also possesses powerful regenerative abilities.

Even if a part of his body is accidentally damaged, he can use the Immortal Emperor's Longevity Body to repair the destroyed area.

"The third level? Invincible Vajra?"

Upon hearing Chen Xiu's words, Zi Qingyue suddenly realized something.

Although she didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, the Purple-Robed Celestial Master's hearing was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

Several times, Zi Qingyue overheard Chen Xiu say that he could only touch women after he broke through the third level and reached the Vajra Invincible realm.

"So, junior brother has really grown up?"

Zi Qingyue blushed as she thought to herself.

"This feels so good!"

Chen Xiu was still immersed in the joy of breaking through his cultivation level and did not hear Zi Qingyue's murmur: "Senior sister, it's almost dawn. Shall we go to Golden Light Village now?"

Since he couldn't kill the people from Blackwater Village directly, Chen Xiu decided to go to Golden Light Village to see what was going on.

If I have the chance, I'll go and get my hands on all those treasures!

If there's no opportunity, he'll choose to give up first...

The current senior sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, yet she can't tolerate Chen Wudi, who commits murder and arson.

No, I'll just wait until next time and come back by myself to pray for the souls of those from Blackwater Village!

"Hmm, I also want to see what secrets Golden Light Village holds."

Zi Qingyue nodded in agreement.

"Let's go."

Chen Xiu stood up and naturally took Zi Qingyue's small hand and started walking forward.

Yesterday, Chen Xiu had already left his divine sense on Jin Yaoyao and the others. As long as the distance was no more than 100 kilometers, he could clearly sense their presence.

"Ashu, there are so many snakes, insects, and rodents in these mountains..."

Zi Qingyue followed behind Chen Xiu, walking cautiously and trying to avoid these things.

Despite being a purple-robed celestial master, she couldn't help but be afraid of the things that even young girls are afraid of.

"There are many sorcerers in the Miao region, such as in Golden Light Village and Blackwater Village... Some of them practice witchcraft, some practice Gu poison, and some even practice corpse refining! So it's normal to find many snakes, insects, and rodents around..."

Chen Xiu shielded Zi Qingyue behind him, and if there were any snakes, insects, or rodents in front of them, he would simply wave his hand and knock them away.

Although there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, it must be admitted that the scenery here is beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains.

The two walked slowly hand in hand.

After about an hour, they finally saw Jinguang Village.

However, the scene before me was even more lively than I had imagined, with hordes of people both inside and outside the village.

The villagers dressed like Jin Yaoyao, mainly in blue clothing and silver ornaments.

The people outside the village were dressed in black, with silver ornaments on their heads, but their faces were covered with tattoos of various patterns.

People inside and outside the village stood facing each other, speaking in a language that Chen Xiu and Zi Qingyue couldn't understand.

"They don't seem to be from the same village."

Zi Qingyue whispered a guess, "It looks like they're about to fight."

"These are people from Blackwater Village; they must have had a conflict with the people from Golden Light Village!"

Chen Xiu explained calmly, while secretly delighted; the opportunity had arrived.

Yesterday, when he used his divine sense to cover the surroundings, he already knew that the people of Blackwater Village and Golden Light Village served different purposes and were also clear about their totems.

Now, for some reason, Chen Xiu is quick to act whenever a war breaks out. "The villagers of Jinguang are honest and simple, but these people from Heishui Village are definitely not good people."

“I think so too.” Zi Qingyue nodded seriously, agreeing with Chen Xiu’s words.

"Old woman, give back what you stole! Otherwise, don't blame us for razing your Golden Light Village to the ground!"

The leader of Blackwater Village was a burly man who was two meters tall. He was dressed in black, had a muscular build, dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full beard. He was holding a heavy, gold-backed broadsword.

Behind him, countless Blackwater Village members, armed with weapons, arrogantly shouted, "Old woman, hand over the goods now, or we'll raze your Golden Light Village to the ground!"

"Hand over the stuff!!"

"Hand it over!! Hand it over!!"

"Hand it over!! Hand it over!!"
