Qin Xin was slightly surprised when he was discovered.
He hadn't expected Ya Ru to have such keen perception.
After Qin Xin emerged from the jungle, Long Mu and Ya Ru, who had been wary, suddenly showed excitement on their faces.
"Qin Xin!"
After confirming Qin Xin's identity, the two little ones quickly ran up to him.
Seeing Ya Ru and Long Mu like this, a smile appeared on Qin Xin's lips.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Qin Xin also greeted the two of them.
"Hehe, see, I told you we'd run into Qin Xin here, but you didn't believe me."
Longmu waved his little fist at Yaru, as if he had won.
"By the way, are you two the only ones from the Eastern Wilderness Academy who came?"
Qin Xin felt that it was somewhat unreliable for the Eastern Wilderness Academy to send these two little guys to participate in the Yunxi Domain martial arts competition, so he asked about it.
"Yes, it was just the two of us, and the Grand Elder personally brought us here."
Longmu spoke excitedly, as if he was afraid Qin Xin would think that the two of them had sneaked over.
Of course, he and Ya Ru had done this kind of sneaking out countless times.
This feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land made Qin Xin feel quite happy. After the three of them finished processing the fire ox, they took out a few pieces of the finest meat and slowly roasted them over the campfire.
Under the scorching heat of the flames, the meat quickly turned golden brown, with oil dripping down and making sizzling sounds.
Longmu and Yaru stared intently at the roasted meat with their four small eyes, as if they were afraid that Qin Xin would eat it all by himself.
Seeing the two little ones like this, Qin Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"By the way, how is the Eastern Wilderness Academy doing now, and what about the Great Xia Dynasty?"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xin asked some questions.
After leaving the Eastern Wilderness, Qin Xin had not contacted Tianyuan City for a long time and was curious about some things happening in his clan.
Longmu hugged a large piece of beast meat, seemingly unconcerned about the heat, and ate it in big bites while muttering to himself.
"The Eastern Wilderness Academy has changed a lot. After leaving the Kunmen main peak, Senior Yu Xi discussed with the Grand Elder and others and merged all eight sects of the inner courtyard together."
"The inner courtyard is now peaceful and harmonious, without the intrigue and backstabbing of the past."
"But this has been tough on me. The Grand Elder is watching my cultivation every day, and so is Ya Ru."
Although Longmu's words were somewhat unclear, Qin Xin could still understand them.
Ya Ru, who was standing to the side, also agreed with Long Mu's accusations. However, the way she ate was not as praiseworthy as Long Mu's. She ate the golden beast meat in small bites, with the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.
"I've also heard some things about the current state of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Under Shui Sheng's governance, a martial spirit has swept through the Great Xia Dynasty, giving rise to many new families."
"Furthermore, the Great Xia Dynasty and the Eastern Wilderness Academy have reached some cooperation agreements. Every year, the Dynasty selects some outstanding young people to study at the Eastern Wilderness Academy."
"As for your family, they are quite powerful now."
"Although the Great Xia Dynasty granted the entire territory of Zhennan Prefecture to the Qin Clan of Tianyuan City, the current clan leader has not taken over all of these territories. Instead, he has gathered all the clan's strength in Tianyuan City."
"Because of you, Tianyuan City is now even more prosperous than the imperial city, and the city is more than five times larger than before."
Hearing Ya Ru's account, Qin Xin felt a sense of joy.
Although Qin Xin didn't have a particularly strong sense of belonging to his family, knowing that everything was alright now naturally put his mind at ease.
Now that I'm in this Central Plains, I can better concentrate my efforts and reclaim what I've lost as soon as possible.
"belch!"
"I'm finally full, I'm stuffed!"
Having finished the entire piece of beast meat, Longmu lay lazily on the ground, his belly already bulging.
Ya Ru, standing nearby, was also leaning against a large tree.
Looking at the two little ones, Qin Xin wondered for a moment if they hadn't eaten in a long time.
After some rest, Qin Xin, along with Long Mu and Ya Ru, began hunting monsters in the forest.
As for the points, they were naturally split equally among the three.
To Qin Xin's surprise, as a spiritual cultivator, his ability to detect things was naturally stronger than that of ordinary martial artists, yet Long Mu was able to sense the presence of the surrounding demonic beasts every time.
He had known about Longmu's ability before, but now that his strength had increased, it seemed that this ability had become even stronger.
After two days of hunting demonic beasts, Qin Xin and his companions had all made considerable gains.
They themselves are unaware of their current rankings; only by continuously accumulating more points can they move up the leaderboard.
Of course, there are also many martial artists in this jungle who will stop at nothing to get more points.
Some martial artists even kill their fellow disciples in order to monopolize all the points.
Seeing these people's behavior, Qin Xin felt a bit disgusted. Of course, quite a few martial artists directly provoked him.
Unsurprisingly, all of these people were mercilessly killed by Qin Xin.
Qin Xin knew that in such a place, being too lenient with the enemy would likely result in him being killed by this person.
When Longmu and Yaru saw Qin Xin so decisively kill all the martial artists who were trying to steal points, they were initially a little uneasy. However, after seeing some martial artists being brutally killed after their points were stolen, they felt relieved.
After the three of them joined forces, they killed a tiger-like monster.
After disposing of the body, Qin Xin, Long Mu, and Ya Ru found a place to rest.
Over the course of three days, in addition to hunting monsters, they were also ambushed multiple times. If it weren't for Qin Xin's spiritual awareness, the three of them would probably have died countless times in this jungle.
"Thump!"
Just as the three of them sat down, a violent shockwave echoed around them.
Upon sensing the terrifying aura emanating from him, Qin Xin's face also showed a hint of fear.
Because Qin Xin was able to sense that the source of this violent fluctuation was very likely a demonic beast that had reached the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Qin Xin's guess was quickly confirmed by Long Mu.
