Knowing Shi Xuan very well, Lu Shenzhi was afraid that his junior sister would hold a grudge and cause him trouble later, so he quickly tried to make amends.

"Junior Sister, it's like this. I was thinking that since we already owe a lot of spiritual energy, the bounty won't make a difference. I'll put it all into the debt and pay it off slowly."

The meaning is obvious: having too much debt doesn't weigh you down; whether you owe a thousand or a hundred thousand, it's still a debt.

Shi Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Looking at these two, the poorest Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world, he was secretly amazed.

For ordinary cultivators, let alone reaching the Nascent Soul stage, even just reaching the Golden Core stage is already quite a fortune.

Her two senior brothers were quite different. One of them had been in a coma for ten years, but when he woke up, he had already formed his Nascent Soul. The mountain of spirit stones he threw away almost emptied her and her master's coffers.

The other one lived a dull life for decades, completely oblivious to the concept of savings.

“Alright,” Shi Xuan said, “If anything like this happens again, just come and ask me for spirit stones. I may not have anything else, but I have plenty of spirit stones. Don’t forget my name.”

What title? Naturally, it's 100 million units per hour. No, it has now evolved directly to 1 trillion units per hour.

Over the years, Shi Xuan has not only opened affordable shops throughout the entire cultivation world of Qian Yuan West, in every place with cultivators, but also obtained a mineral core from the Nine-Story Tower in the Outer Domain. Placed in the center of the northeast of Silver Frost, the rocks around that mountain have begun to change.

Shi Xuan, who owns a mine, usually just teases his senior brothers; he doesn't actually mean they won't have spirit stones when they need them.

Even if she didn't say it, Lu Shenzhi knew what she meant, so he didn't even think about being polite to her and directly put down the reward in the name of his junior sister.

"Oh, right," Shi Xuan suddenly remembered and asked, "What's the name of that witch you mentioned?"

Lu Shenzhi paused for a moment, then said with a hint of uncertainty, "I think it was called 'Zha Zha' back then? Probably."

Very well, if that woman knew that Lu Shenzhi hadn't even remembered her name all these years, she would probably faint on the spot from anger.

It's not something you absolutely need to know.

The time announcement has already omitted it.

"Let's go, Second Brother. Let's go to the Witch Clan first and deal with them first."

Lu Wenxing nodded and said, "Then let's go to the East China Sea first."

"Go to the East Sea?" Lu Shenzhi asked doubtfully. "Do the Witch Clan live in the sea?"

This was a place he hadn't considered.

“No,” Lu Wenxing quickly explained, “We went to the East Sea because there is a teleportation array leading to the Witch Clan deep in the East Sea.”

"Build a teleportation array in the sea?" Shi Xuan said, "No wonder no one has discovered it for so many years."

"I think they probably know they've made an enemy of our senior brother, so they don't dare to come."

"We'll find out what's going on when we get there. Let's go!"

Lu Wenxing, along with Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi, boarded the conspicuous spirit boat again and sailed together towards the East China Sea.

Halfway through the journey, Shi Xuan called Hong Chi out and said to her, "I promised you I would show you the scenery of the East Sea. Now we can go."

"Hmph," Hong Chi was unconvinced and sneered, "Do you think I don't know that you're going to the East China Sea on the side because you have other business to attend to? Don't make it sound like you're making this trip specifically for me."

Shi Xuan suddenly felt a little guilty.

They made some good promises when they were trying to lure Hong Chi, but things have been delayed ever since they came back due to various reasons.

She quickly tried to make amends, saying, "It was my fault. Now that this matter is finished, I'll have some free time. Senior, please decide in advance whether you want to go to the snow-capped mountains or the plains. We'll set off after we return!"

Hong Chi was somewhat satisfied and gave a soft hum to indicate that he understood.

She didn't show it on her face, but she was already thinking about where to go first. The snow-capped mountains seemed like a good choice; she hadn't seen snow in so many years…

The spirit boat traveled for a full ten days before finally reaching the East China Sea.

This is a residential area for mortals; cultivators rarely set foot here.

The spirit boat did not stop at the shore, but sailed all the way to the middle of the sea, where the shore could no longer be seen. Only then did Lu Wenxing release his divine sense to search for the small island he once knew.

Even though he roughly knew the location of the island, it still took Lu Wenxing an hour to finally find it.

It was a tiny, uninhabited island, so small that it looked like a rock.

If Shi Xuan were to stop the spirit boat on the island, the three of them would have nowhere to even get off.

The entire spirit boat was suspended in mid-air.

Fortunately, cultivators don't lack a place to stay.

Lu Wenxing pointed to the south of the island and said, "It's right here. I jumped in at noon, facing the sun. The formation is not far ahead of here."

"Let's go down and take a look," Shi Xuan said, jumping into the sea first.

Lu Wenxing and Lu Shenzhi followed closely behind.

When they had traveled about ten miles in the due south direction, Shi Xuan finally sensed the aura of the teleportation array.

This is indeed a good place to hide formations.

The three headed straight for the teleportation array and soon saw its true form.

It turned out to be a remarkably well-preserved array, completely undamaged.

Shi Xuan took out several spirit stones from his spatial storage and placed them into the various slots of the array.

"The situation ahead is unknown, and the current situation may not be the same as when our second senior brother went there. Let's prepare for defense first."

The two nodded in agreement, and then stood together in the middle of the formation.

The formation was activated, a flash of white light appeared, and the three figures disappeared from the spot.

When Xuan opened his eyes again, they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

Here, the whole scene looks like a dream; the trees are all a purplish-red color, the sunlight is extremely dim, and the whole scene doesn't look like something that should appear in the real world.

All the precautions the three had taken were of no use. There were no witch clan members on guard here.

Lu Wenxing said, "When I came here last time, there was no one guarding it. This place is quite a distance from their tribe."

“It’s better if there’s no one guarding it,” Shi Xuan said. “Let’s go, let’s just attack!”

Lu Wenxing had already given them a detailed explanation of the situation here. The people of the Witch Clan generally do not have high cultivation levels. They revere witchcraft and value witchcraft talent more than cultivation talent.

Shi Xuan had already made a plan on the way, intending to catch them off guard.

The three concealed themselves and slowly approached the location of the witch clan.

Shi Xuan had already released his divine sense from afar to observe the situation in the tribe.

Their entire tribe is laid out around an altar, and their architectural style is extremely unique, with all the houses being carved from large stone blocks.
