"You and him are actually in the same sect! Who's stronger, you or him? I bet you're only a tiny bit weaker than him! Don't be discouraged, I believe you'll be able to surpass that senior brother one day." Ye Xiruo encouraged Xiu Qiyu.

Xiu Qiyu nodded somewhat guiltily: "Since he is the senior brother, he is naturally the most powerful one in the sect, and I am naturally no match for him."

"Who said that? You're obviously very strong, okay? Next time there's a challenge, you go and challenge him, and then you'll be the senior brother."

Xiu Qiyu was speechless: "It seems you harbor a lot of resentment towards Senior Brother! You must never say such things again. Senior Brother has countless supporters. If they hear you, I can't protect you either."

"I disagree! No one is that perfect. I've never seen one. If no one is perfect, then if his fame wasn't earned by force, then he's just a fraudster."

Xiu Qiyu decisively ended the topic. He couldn't guarantee that if they continued talking, he wouldn't be unable to resist revealing that he was the hypocritical senior brother.

That evening, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu went into the space together, retrieved the seeds from the spring water, and dried them. Ye Xiruo noticed that the seeds, having absorbed the spiritual spring water, were much fuller, with a faint green glow shimmering within them.

"It seems the survival rate must be very high."

Xiu Qiyu nodded and began digging a hole using her sword energy, while Ye Xiruo was responsible for scattering the seeds. After Xiu Qiyu covered the hole with soil, she watered it with some spiritual spring water, and the job was done.

Thank you.

"You're welcome. With this batch of medicinal herbs, you can become an alchemist as soon as possible, and most importantly, you can start making money sooner."

The alchemist title didn't matter; what mattered was the last sentence: the prospect of making money quickly. This was incredibly tempting for Ye Xiruo.

"I will work hard." Ye Xiruo began to study the basic alchemy techniques with high spirits.

The soul works in harmony with these alchemy incantations, but the key is still the subtle control; there can be no mistakes whatsoever, otherwise the alchemy will fail.

Xiu Qiyu then cultivated near the spring.

The next morning, Ye Xiruo was pulled out of the space by Xiu Qiyu: "We should go hunting today."

Ye Xiruo cried, "Aren't there still so many prey in the yard? Why do we have to go?" Her face clearly showed that she didn't want to go.

Xiu Qiyu remained unmoved. "I'll give you half an hour to prepare some rations. We'll set off in half an hour."

Ye Xiruo ultimately failed to persuade Xiu Qiyu, so she started making pancakes, the same scallion and egg pancakes she never tired of. To reward herself, Ye Xiruo specially added a few extra spirit eggs.

As a result, when the first batch of six pancakes came out of the oven, she ate three of them by herself and still wanted more.

Xiu Qiyu ate the pancake slowly and deliberately, reminding him, "You'll be better off working after you've eaten your fill."

Ye Xiruo collapsed, but was still forced to quickly prepare the dry rations, and then she was on Xiu Qiyu's sword.

This time, Xiu Qiyu's sword flew extremely fast, completely blurring the scenery on both sides. Ye Xiruo stood behind Xiu Qiyu, barely maintaining her balance.

"Let's rest for a bit and then begin!" Xiu Qiyu's expression was anything but joking.

"Don't think too lowly of yourself. Many Qi Refining disciples are already hunting in the outer circle."

Ye Xiruo wanted to cry but had no tears: "If I fight bare-handed, I'll be beaten to death and become food for wild beasts, okay?"

"I didn't think this through this time. I'll definitely remember to prepare a suitable weapon for you next time."

If Ye Xiruo still doesn't understand that she was tricked by Xiu Qiyu, she's really incredibly stupid.

"Today's main training focus is on escaping."

Xiu Qiyu pointed to a large, fiery red rabbit not far away, the same kind of rabbit they had at their rabbit meat feast. It weighed about ten pounds, was very fast, could breathe fireballs, and had extremely sharp claws; if you were caught, you wouldn't have a good time.

"This is a level one Fire Rabbit, let's use it to practice!"

Xiu Qiyu suppressed his aura. The Fire Rabbit sensed the aura emanating from Ye Xiruo, its red eyes staring intently at her. It leaped two feet away, about to pounce.

Ye Xiruo had already killed him. He turned around and ran away. The movement was extremely stiff, but at least he didn't run too slowly.

Her physical condition had greatly improved after so many days of training. Now, if her speed were in her previous life, she would have been able to win an Olympic medal and bring glory to her country.

However, the Fire Rabbit behind her was not slow either, with a constant whooshing sound coming from behind, mixed with some small fireballs.

Ye Xiruo cursed inwardly as she desperately dodged the small fireballs. The rabbit behind her seemed to realize Ye Xiruo's weakness and slowed down, unleashing a barrage of fireballs. Ye Xiruo's dodging became even more difficult; a sleeve had been burned off, several strands of hair were gone, and her clothes were no longer recognizable.

Her stamina was rapidly depleting, so Ye Xiruo began to circulate her inner energy in her feet and started running, thinking about how to deal with the big rabbit as she ran.

In Ye Xiruo's eyes, this rabbit was her lunch for lunch today.

Not knowing whether she could use her mental energy, Ye Xiruo pondered while simultaneously mobilizing the mental energy within her sea of ​​consciousness.

Her mental strength is much stronger than before, but it's absolutely impossible for her to condense it into a large weapon.

Ye Xiruo knew that she only had one chance to kill, and once the rabbit reacted, she would not have a second chance.

It was still too difficult to condense spiritual power. Ye Xiruo used all her strength to condense a nail, which she planned to use for a sneak attack.

"Come here, I want to duel with you." Ye Xiruo stopped and beckoned to the rabbit with her finger. Of course, what she got in return was a series of small fireballs.

Ye Xiruo even saw a hint of disdain in the rabbit's eyes.

Ye Xiruo's true energy began to surge outwards wildly, condensing into a Guan Gong-style broadsword. Although only the three-inch-long blade was solid, and the rest was illusory, it was still quite frightening in terms of sheer force.

Sure enough, the Fire Rabbit's attack paused for a moment, and in that instant, the nail that Ye Xiruo had prepared beforehand pierced the rabbit's right eye.

The Fire Rabbit let out a mournful cry and struggled violently, desperately spitting fireballs at Ye Xiruo. Ye Xiruo didn't hold back either, directly commanding Guan Gong's Blade, wanting to cut the dead rabbit in two.

Unfortunately, his strength was too weak; the spiritual energy dissipated into the air halfway through the cut, but the rabbits were already all dead.

Ye Xiruo curled her lips smugly.
