Tang Yue has spent the last few days riding on the backs of tigers and leopards, and she's in great spirits right now. Besides using her consciousness to monitor her surroundings, she's been constantly cultivating.
These past two days, whichever beast she cultivated on the back of benefited the most. As a result, these two beasts almost fought several times over Tang Yue.
Tang Yue was quite exhausted; she had to treat both of them equally to maintain a balance. In just three days of cultivation, Tang Yue had advanced from the first to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
If things went smoothly, she thought she could break through to the Golden Core stage before leaving. Tang Yue was excited. In the cultivation world, she had only reached the ninth level of Qi Refining; now she was about to break through to the Golden Core stage—how could she not be excited?
This is an era of scarce spiritual energy, so Tang Yue is quite satisfied with her achievements. If it weren't for the major hidden danger at home, Tang Yue would love to retire and live a peaceful life right now.
After all, fighting and killing every day is really exhausting. She's not short of money now; this amount is probably enough for her whole family to live on for a lifetime. (Of course, Tang Yue has no idea just how fast China is developing.)
There was no one by the river at the moment, and Tang Yue was washing her face alone. She could use a cleansing spell, but she always felt that it wasn't as clean as washing herself by hand.
She was happily washing her face with the cool river water when, as she scooped up another handful, two green leaves floated down from upstream. Tang Yue stared at the two green leaves, lost in thought.
The break was clearly man-made, but Sun Jinan and Wang Ming weren't hunting upstream. Besides, these guys were starving; they hadn't eaten a single blade of grass for days, and every meal consisted entirely of meat, big and small.
Could they be enemy agents? Tang Yue's eyes suddenly turned serious. Yes, even though this was the outer edge of the Qinling Mountains, it was still a long way from where ordinary people could enter. After all, their speed was far beyond what ordinary people could match.
Just as she was thinking this, two more leaves floated down from upstream. Tang Yue immediately extended her consciousness upstream along the river. In the past few days, in order to train these people, Tang Yue had only occasionally probed the waters; she felt there was no great danger and had been keeping a low profile.
Her consciousness traveled upstream along the river for ten miles, but there was no one there. Tang Yue didn't stop; after all, their initial surveillance area was only about ten miles. She continued to probe upstream for another ten miles, but still no one was there.
Tang Yue looked down at the river. Could the spies have poisoned the river?
She continued probing upwards, going another three miles, when Tang Yue was dumbfounded. What was going on? How could this be so different from what she had expected?
