"The mission wasn't completed," she said blankly.

"Why?" Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni asked in unison.

"It was I who killed and stole the treasure, not you," Li Changzhou said.

"ah--"

"senior!"

Li Changzhou ignored this and continued, "Also, it's best not to sell the things in the storage bags. You all need to behave yourselves lately."

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" the fairy asked hurriedly.

She doesn't care about the points.

I have an opponent at Wangyue Lake who has chosen the Nascent Soul stage as his faction.

[This time, only one Foundation Establishment cultivator and dozens of Qi Refining cultivators were killed, which is insignificant. But for that person, as long as there is even the slightest suspicion, he can search at will. In his eyes, even a Nascent Soul cultivator is nothing more than an ant.]

The three little ones were filled with unease.

Li Changzhou laughed and said, "Don't worry, at worst I'll lose this match, but you won't die."

The fairy realized that he was referring to 'you'.

"My Lord, are you going to save Xiaoyue and Nizi?"

"They've been discovered. Do you think you can escape? Since you can't run away, I'll definitely intervene. Why not save them while I'm at it?"

"Thank you so much, seniors!" Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni said excitedly.

The fairy had told them what had happened before, that the gods would not save them, and that they should be careful and run away if anything happened, while she, who was not going to die anyway, would cover their retreat.

Don't be too happy yet. If things get to that point, or if I exceed the number of times I've promised to help, I will end this match myself and leave this world.

Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni immediately realized that once their senior left, the data panel would disappear, and they would no longer dare to fish and sell spirit stones so recklessly.

The fairy was having difficulty breathing.

Leaving this world...

She gripped the branch tightly.

After calming down, Xu Ni said, "Alright, we were planning to stop selling the scaled crucian carp anyway. The supplies we have, plus these thirteen storage bags, are enough for us to cultivate for a while. If it's not enough, I can disguise myself and sell the goods in small quantities and multiple times under different identities."

"Nizi, you'll have to work hard," Jiang Xiaoyue said.

Not only is it hard work, but going out alone is also dangerous.

“You work hard refining pills and drawing talismans, but I chose to go into business, and I’m prepared to take the risks,” Xu Ni said.

"Xian'er, I propose increasing the reward for each trade trip from 10 spirit stones to 30 spirit stones...Xian'er?" Jiang Xiaoyue looked at Shen Xian'er in confusion.

Shenxian'er snapped out of her daze and suppressed her emotions: "Well, I have no objection. Thank you for your hard work, Nizi."

Xu Ni teased, "Is this the first time Xian'er has seen such a bloody scene?"

"I'm still worried that those people will turn into ghosts and come looking for you again," Jiang Xiaoyue joked, trying to ease Shen Xian'er's depression.

Shen Xian'er trembled: "No, I have to master the 'Ghost Escape Technique' as soon as possible!"

The two of them burst into laughter.

While sorting through the storage bags, Xu Ni suddenly had an idea.

She said, "There are snail gambling in the market. Many small spirit fish, spirit shrimp, and spirit crabs hide inside the snails. Sometimes you can even get a moon eel worth hundreds of spirit stones. Let's gamble. Each of us can choose four of these thirteen storage bags. What's inside depends entirely on luck. How about it?"

"I don't care," Jiang Xiaoyue said.

"Becoming an alchemist gives you a lot more confidence when you speak," Xu Ni joked.

Jiang Xiaoyue followed the example of the alchemists she had seen, placing one hand behind her back and straightening her back.

The female cultivator's robes were quite aesthetically pleasing, outlining her figure in every detail.

"Xian'er, what do you think?" Xu Ni asked Shen Xian'er.

The fairy had no objections, but asked, "What about the extra one?"

"Whoever opens the four storage bags and gets the most spirit stones gets the third one," Xu Ni suggested.

“No good.” Alchemist Jiang Xiaoyue slowly shook her head, making it seem more imposing. “The person who wants the extra one gets two hundred spirit stones, and the other two get one hundred each.”

"Besides Xian'er, who has two hundred?" Xu Ni shouted.

"Four storage bags, and not even two hundred spirit stones? No, you can owe me for now."

...Let's leave aside the outcome of the gambling storage bag.

Shenxian'er swore she would never gamble again; the four storage bags combined didn't even amount to as much as Xu Ni's single one.

As the proposer, Xu Ni was the last to be chosen, so there was no way she could renege on her decision.

But she still suspected that Xu Ni harbored malicious intentions, was deceiving people, and was cheating in secret!

She actually took that Foundation Establishment stage storage bag!

However, the Foundation Establishment stage storage bag was picked up by Jiang Xiaoyue. Although there were five of them, they were mixed with other bags and were difficult to distinguish from the outside.

As compensation, Xu Ni took the extra storage bag and gave each of them a mid-grade spirit stone.

The Foundation Establishment female cultivator was relatively poor, or rather, she consumed too much in her daily life. In her storage bag, she only had three mid-grade spirit stones and two hundred and thirty-two low-grade spirit stones.

Nevertheless, Xu Ni has now become an extremely wealthy woman.

Not to mention some scattered magical artifacts and elixirs.

Pulling her thoughts back, Shenxian'er sat cross-legged on the bed and thought for a while about what had happened along the way.

What she was most curious about—how to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator with only a small amount of spiritual power from a Qi Refining stage cultivator—has now become irrelevant.

She has things she cares about more.

After a long while, she took out a Spirit Restoration Pill to recover her magical power.

For the next six months, all three of them went into seclusion, relying on the resources in their storage bags to cultivate.

Six months later, after consuming all the Qi Gathering Pills and Qi Condensation Pills, Shen Xian'er finally managed to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment.

She walked out of Fairy Cave, but the formations of Little Moon Cave and Nun Cave remained tightly closed, and the two were still in seclusion.
