The wind in the distance was getting even more desolate. Yun Xian and his companions encountered another group of wandering cultivators on their long journey.
Several talisman cultivators and weapon cultivators, all at the high-level Jindan level, were looking at them from afar with great vigilance, not daring to move forward.
The fighting power of the talisman cultivators and weapon cultivators is not that strong. They must have real skills to have been able to survive in this secret realm full of dangers until now.
But after they identified Yun Xian's sword, their vigilance immediately dissipated a lot, and they even dared to move forward.
Yun Xian also happened to be looking for them, so the two groups exchanged sharp glances, and Yun Xian was the first to ask, "Can you forge a staff? In exchange for the hemostatic grass, the requirements are not high, something similar to the Dongji Staff will do."
What a boast! Are you trying to take advantage of me? The weapon repairer remained silent: "...the appearance can be made exactly the same, but the rest is not possible."
The Dongji Staff is of the quasi-celestial grade, Master Mingguang's weapon. If it were comparable, why would he have to come to the Sifang Secret Realm to carry bricks?
Yun Xian said reluctantly: "Okay." It's better than coming back empty-handed.
Qi Zhiye folded his arms and nitpicked, "Don't make them exactly the same. Put an emerald on the top. Make them complete."
"Emerald?" Yun Xian had been annoyed with him for a long time and slapped him: "You still owe 8,500 spirit stones, so hold on tight!"
Qi Zhiye was hit in the sore spot and said stubbornly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Did I tell you to leave?"
Yun Xian was really worried to death.
Oh, how worried she was. Before she found Qi Xingye, she had no idea the weapon would have such a profound impact on him. Judging from the situation, even though his cultivation was still at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage, many Buddhist techniques would be rendered inoperable. Furthermore, Qi Xingye hadn't even learned the Golden Bell Cover, so his skills weren't very good to begin with, and now it was even worse.
I really don't know what he was thinking! How could such an important thing be thrown away so casually?
I don’t know who picked it up, I hope it wasn’t Dao Zong.
The two parties sneaked behind the boulder to make a deal. The weapon cultivator immediately started refining. Yun Xian then asked the talisman cultivator, "Can you draw a cleansing talisman? The kind you can wring out water from, preferably with a hint of soapberry fragrance? I'll trade it for spirit stones."
"Of course I can..." the talisman cultivator wondered, "But it's a bit too much of a loss. This kind of talisman is laborious, useless, and consumes spiritual energy. Can't I just endure it a little longer and get out?"
Yun Xian shook his head: "It's not for me to use."
The conscientious talisman cultivator glanced back and saw Xue Lingxiu standing there elegantly, holding a folding fan. He immediately understood: "I understand. I'll draw it for you, and I'll give you a 20% discount."
Xue Lingxiu stood at the back, looking calm and as if she hadn't heard anything at all, but in fact, the corners of her lips softened a lot.
At this time, you're still thinking about him? Spending spirit stones on random things is such a waste. So annoying.
"Brother Xue." A small hand reached out from the side, and Yun Xian said with a playful smile: "I accidentally forgot to bring my wallet. Can you lend me some spirit stones?"
Xue Lingxiu froze: "?"
really!
He guaranteed that these spirit stones would never return to his hands.
After taking the staff and the talisman, the two groups dispersed immediately with incredible efficiency and without a single word. Yun Xian was just about to move forward when he heard the talisman cultivator cough lightly.
Yun Xian looked over, and she quietly bent her thumb and pointed in a direction.
Yun Xian was stunned for a moment: "?"
What's the meaning?
Fu Xiu didn't answer, but whispered, "You also think Liu Shi is mentally ill, right?"
Yun Xian: "Yes, yes!! I tell you, he really is..."
Everyone: “…”
Liu Shi, how can your popularity be so bad?
Relying on the guidance of the wandering cultivators, Yun Xian and his group narrowly avoided the pursuit of the Sword Sect temporarily.
There is true love in the world, all the cultivators in the world unite!
…
Far away, it was night.
Jimo Shu pulled back the blood-stained silk and looked at Zhong Changyao's slender back as he quickly fled in front of her. A hint of disbelief appeared on her beautiful face.
Three days.
She has been chasing Zhong Changyao for three days.
After taking the Infant Miracle Fruit, she successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Later, on her way to find the members of the Demon Sect, she accidentally met Zhong Changyao. She thought of killing him casually, but something surprising happened.
The gap in their cultivation was so huge, but no matter how thrilling it was, no matter how close they were to life and death, no matter how many injuries they suffered, Zhong Changyao could always escape in an inexplicable way at the most critical moment, and his cultivation was constantly rising, just like now.
The ground was covered with blood from his stumbling all the way. With such a large amount of bleeding, even the cows would fall down. How could he still run?
This simply touched upon Jimo Shu's blind spot in knowledge.
Could it be that this person was not destined to die?
Heavy footsteps were heard behind them, and the Bull Demon appeared, bowed slightly, and asked, "Saintess, when do we set out to find Yun Xian?"
"...This is the tenth time you've asked me in the past three days." Jimo Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Do you actually like her? Why do you keep asking?"
"I don't." He really didn't. He only liked the little cow. The bull demon pondered for a moment and said honestly: "Maybe, people who like to wear red bellybands don't have bad personalities."
Jimo Shu: "Niu Baiye, don't force me to slap you."
Bull Demon: "Saint, I'm leaving now."
The bull demon walked away, its loincloth swung, and someone else took over. It was a young man with long hair. For some reason, he always walked in an unsteady way, looking a little strange, as if he hadn't adapted to this newly assembled body. He opened his mouth and said, "Saint, when are we going to find Yun Xian?"
The voice is also more neutral.
"Why do you keep asking?" Jimo Shu's only trace of patience was instantly exhausted: "I will naturally tell you when I get there."
The young man turned his head and saw the face of Mei Yanliu, but the outline was a little harder than that of a woman. Seeing that Jimo Shu was angry, he dared not complain: "Saint, I'm leaving."
Strictly speaking, succubus do not have gender and can be male or female, but Mei Yanliu usually thinks that female bodies are more beautiful. Now that she has entered the secret realm, she feels that although some flesh looks good, it is a bit of a hindrance to her escape, so she reluctantly transformed into a male body.
"Don't leave yet." Jimo Shu looked at her, no, now at him, stroking his chin, thoughtfully: "I remember that last time I sent you to fight Zhong Changyao, he looked like he had suffered a great mental shock. Do you have any ideas?"
"I don't know." Meiyan Liu Lao felt that the man looked at him strangely. "Maybe my skills have improved. After all, I have a strong talent."
Jimo Shu: "So why did you ask Yun Xian just now?"
Good, what a terrifying jumping speed! Mei Yanliu didn't have time to think and blurted out everything: "I just feel that you, Saint, also want to go, but I don't know why you haven't gone..."
As expected, Jimo Shu flew into a rage: "Who said I wanted to find her?!"
She really wanted to seize the jade seal quickly, but for some reason, when she thought of the embarrassing scene of herself being pulled out of the crevice by Yun Xian and then walking all the way with dripping water, she still didn't want to face it.
It is truly a disgrace to the devil.
The bleak night wind brought dry yellow sand, burying and swallowing the bloodstains bit by bit. The purple silk surged up and down with her breathing. Jimo Shu stretched out her palm, and in her palm, a tiny colorful poisonous insect was curled up.
It has not yet completely emerged, and half of its tail is still hidden in the cocoon, which looks very strange.
Jimo Shu cut her palm expressionlessly, and the blood soaked it. The poisonous insect quickly absorbed it and even tried to drill into her wound and bite her flesh, but was taken back by Jimo Shu.
She looked at the distant sky, stood up, and said to the people behind her, "Let's go."
It's almost the last moment.
After half a day of exciting games of chase and hide-and-seek, Yun Xian was finally caught red-handed in a desert.
Being caught red-handed was expected, but what was unexpected was that the ones who blocked them were not the Sword Sect or the Demon Sect, but the Body Tempering Sect.
Amidst the yellow sand, the atmosphere was stagnant.
If nothing else, judging by the average size of its disciples, the Body Strengthening Sect was undoubtedly the most oppressive. Regardless of gender, all possessed incredibly muscular and toned figures, their muscles so immense that Yun Xian, shadowed by the overwhelming presence of the Body Strengthening Sect disciples, appeared incredibly weak, pitiful, and helpless.
But he didn't lose the battle, and seeing that the Body Strengthening Sect had no intention of picking up weapons to fight right away, Yun Xian first introduced himself to show that they were not welcome to come over: "It's our first meeting. I'm Yun Xian from the East Realm Sword Pavilion. Just call me Yun Xian."
Although it was not their first meeting, they had stared at each other across the sand castle last time.
Ji Rongxue looked up at the hand she inexplicably extended, feeling a little confused, but she still gently pinched Yun Xian's fingertips: "I am Ji Rongxue, just call me Rongxue."
She was a little nervous and even forgot that shaking hands was not popular in the world of cultivation. Yun Xian was shocked by her extremely cold fingers.
Ji Rongxue finally reacted after she finished speaking, and tilted her face slightly with no expression: "...Isn't calling me that too intimate?"
She was very tall, a head taller than Yun Xian, with extremely black pupils that were bottomless. As she tilted her head, the fiery red at the end of her hair looked like real flowing flames, quietly flowing down to her fair neck, where she wore a collar made of a special material.
"Uh..." Yun Xian said, "I don't mind."
Damn it. She was never good at dealing with people with this personality type. She always felt that making jokes was like bullying them - but in this situation, it was clearly Ji Rongxue who was bullying her, looking at this group of people.
Yun Xian was hesitating in front, and the people behind him glared at him.
Qiao Lingshan: "What are you doing? Show me the same courage you used to show me!"
Qi Zhiye: "This man is very strong. Where is my Dongji Staff?"
Xue Lingxiu: "How could it be the Body Strengthening Sect? This jade seal can't be given to the Sword Sect, but it's okay for her."
Feng Ye: "It's strange. I clearly remember that when we were selling hemostatic grass, Miss Ji seemed to have a very bad attitude towards Liu Shi. Why is she so nice to Yun Xian now? Oh, that's right. Everyone's attitude towards Liu Shi is not good."
After a brief introduction, Ji Rongxue took a step back and said, "I came here today to retrieve the Imperial Seal."
If it wasn't for this, could it be that he came to chat with her? Yun Xian: "I can still see that. But, doesn't the Body Strengthening Sect already have one?"
Can it be superimposed?
"I haven't finished yet." Ji Rongxue still had that habit when she spoke, staring coldly into people's eyes, even if her intentions didn't seem so cold. "Seizing the Jade Seal will naturally benefit the Body Forging Sect. I can't tell you what the specific benefits are."
"As for you, it's even more beneficial. First, you can't ignite this jade seal, so it's useless. Second, with the jade seal taken away, the Sword Sect's target will shift to me, and you won't have to hide like this. Third... fighting me will also benefit you, isn't it?"
"I'm not a Sword Sect member, so I won't harm your lives. Liu Shi and I have fought each other seven times out of ten, so my strength is comparable to his. You'll have to fight him sooner or later, so do you want to use me as a training ground?"
Ji Rongxue gave everyone two choices: "I don't want to seize it by force, but I will do it if necessary. Alternatively, you can have a brief duel. If I win, you will give me the seal. Which one do you choose?"
It's said that there are choices, but there is no other choice.
Yun Xian locked eyes with her, slowly pulled out Qi Shuang, and asked sternly, "One on one, or with everyone?"
Please don't do it with everyone, because the big guy behind her looks like he can use his chest muscles to crush her big head.
Ji Rongxue looked at the four people behind her.
Qiao Lingshan, Xue Lingxiu, Qi Xingye, Feng Ye.
Qiao Lingshan was stared at and became nervous. She pinched Feng Ye's thigh and Feng Ye screamed silently: "Ah——"
No matter how noisy it was, she did see some budding friendship among these people.
"I can do it alone." A rare smile of excitement appeared on her cold and rigid face, and she said, "You all, come on together."
