Mo City is millions of kilometers away from Haoqi Pavilion and Tianjian Sect, and it will take at least three months to get there. They don't have much time left to stay in Mo City.

After finishing the book, Ye Xiruo planned to leave Youran Residence and tell Xiu Qiyu and her senior brother about her next plan.

What are the standards for these top-tier forces to recruit people? Do they even have a chance to get in? Even if they do, they'll at least be inner disciples, doing menial tasks in the outer sect, doing odd jobs every day in exchange for meager spirit crystals and resources to cultivate. And they'll be constantly threatened and killed by inner disciples, elites, and personal disciples. Wouldn't it be better to switch to a first-rate force?

Mo City is located in a remote area and is also a free city, with all sorts of people from all walks of life. Gathering this information shouldn't be difficult; the trouble lies in the spirit crystals.

She wants more detailed information about these things, and they certainly won't be cheap.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to earn spirit crystals. Ye Xiruo took some tasks back from You Ran Ju and collected the spirit herbs distributed by You Ran Ju this month, ready to work hard.

As soon as Ye Xiruo stepped out of Youran Residence, she saw Xiu Qiyu's figure.

“Brother Xiuqi, you don’t need to guard me outside every time. I’m very safe at Youran Residence. The people and atmosphere there are great.”

"I'm glad you like it." Xiu Qiyu patted Ye Xiruo's head.

"Didn't you already let go of Bai Zheng's matter?"

"It's something else. I've already given you the method to detoxify. Whether you can successfully detoxify yourself depends on Bai Feng."

"Don't work too hard."

"How could that be? I discovered a lot of fun things today. I'll tell you about them when I get back."

"OK."

"I'm hungry. I want to eat dry-pot cauliflower, boiled beef, Kung Pao chicken, braised prawns, steamed crab, and swan meat." There are quite a few things I want to eat, all sorts of things.

However, Xiu Qiyu, being a doting husband, naturally agreed to whatever Ye Xiruo said, nodding and saying, "Then let's go back and have a meal first."

"good."

As they walked, they looked at the various fun and interesting things being sold on both sides of the street. As for delicious food? There really wasn't any; everything was terribly awful.

The two were about to walk back when they were suddenly stopped.

Ye Xiruo looked over and saw that it was Tai Yanheng, who had already left. What was he doing here now? She had no interest in kicking someone when they were down, but that didn't mean she would repay evil with kindness.

"Young Master, I beg you, save my brother."

"How is he?" Tai Yanheng looks nothing like a prince now. His face is haggard, his expression is disheveled, and his clothes are dirty and messy. He looks no different from those wandering mercenaries.

"Prince Taiyan, you'd better explain yourself clearly, otherwise how will Xiaoyezi save people?"

It turned out that after Tai Yanli and Tai Yanheng left in a huff, they thought they could stay at an inn first and then go out to find work, so they definitely wouldn't starve to death.

Unfortunately, although they were not favored from childhood, they were still the sons of the Taiyan God Emperor. Their food, clothing, and daily necessities were never lacking, and everything was taken care of for them, so they didn't have to do anything themselves.

After searching around for a while, they still couldn't find any work, which was a huge blow to the two of them. Why could Ye Xiruo and the others thrive while they had to worry about finding a job and their future?

Finally, on a whim, Tai Yanheng pulled out some protective magical artifacts from his spatial ring, put them on, and prepared to go out to hunt strange beasts. He even bought a map.

They rejected other people's invitations to team up and plunged headlong into the forest, only to find that the damn map was completely useless.

The forest was fraught with danger, and they were not particularly skilled in martial arts. They encountered many troubles along the way and suffered some minor injuries.

Along the way, the two helped each other and were not in any danger of losing their lives.

The problem is that they are unfamiliar with the area and don't have a reliable map. What happens after they plunge in? They can only grit their teeth and move forward. Maybe they'll get lucky and make some gains?

They did have some catch, but it was very little, almost nothing. The small prey, besides serving as food, didn't fetch much spirit crystals.

Moreover, the dense forest was fraught with danger, and they had to be on guard at all times, never knowing what they might encounter next. Both of them were on edge, running away at the sight of almost anyone. Half of those who entered the dense forest were mercenary groups, as well as a very few highly skilled and daring experts. Their duo was truly weak.

Tai Yanli has complained more than once that Tai Yanheng shouldn't have argued with Ye Xiruo, and that things have turned out like this, which is bad for everyone.

They had finally made it through the first three days of anxiety, but they hadn't gained anything yet. Unwilling to leave like this, they continued forward and accidentally stumbled into the territory of a white-haired, violent ape.

The white-haired violent ape was as big as a small mountain, with eyes like bronze bells, and hairs like steel needles. It had a thick tail that could topple towering trees with a casual flick. Its gaping maw gleamed with enormous teeth, like a row of deadly weapons.

Tai Yanli and Tai Yanheng were completely stunned. It was a monster, a very powerful one at that. It could probably wipe them both out with a single finger.

In that moment of panic, they ran for their lives, lest they be eaten by this beast.

Although the white-haired violent ape is huge, it is agile, fast, and has great destructive power. Any obstacle that gets in its way is torn to shreds by its sharp claws.

Tai Yanli and Tai Yanheng were incredibly unlucky. They destroyed many protective magical artifacts and consumed a lot of pills along the way, but they still couldn't widen the distance between themselves and the white-haired violent ape.

Several other teams were dragged into the water by the two of them, fleeing for their lives. Some didn't have time to react and were slapped to pieces by that beast, who then dug out their heads and ate them.

It turned out that this white-headed violent ape's favorite thing to do was to eat people's brains raw. Tai Yanheng and Tai Yanli were terrified and fled for their lives frantically. Several times, they were almost caught by that beast.

In the end, perhaps it was fate that they encountered a large mercenary group. Under the captain's command, everyone worked together and finally killed the white-headed violent ape.

However, Tai Yanheng and Tai Yanli did not contribute much effort, so the spoils they received were pitifully small. Tai Yanli was seriously injured while protecting Tai Yanheng.

All the spoils of war were sold to buy medicine for Tai Yanli, but his injuries still did not improve. Tai Yanheng came to look for Ye Xiruo and the others several times. They were at the Bai residence. This time, he finally found Ye Xiruo and came out directly.
