Upon hearing that Ya Ru had secretly run out of the inner courtyard and ended up in such a disheveled state, Qin Xin was both amused and exasperated.
After her big eyes flashed, Ya Ru immediately suggested, as if she wouldn't give up until she got that thing, "Why don't you come with me to get that thing out, and I'll be responsible for luring that big guy away, and we'll split the spoils."
Seeing Ya Ru's persistence, Qin Xin was also curious about what that thing was, so he asked, "After talking for so long, you still haven't said what it is. If it's useless to me, I won't go."
Qin Xin was not afraid of the potential dangers outside the inner courtyard, but there was no need to risk it for something useless. Moreover, he was now being watched by many people in the inner courtyard, making him slightly safer there.
"I don't know what it is either. It just looks like a rice stalk glowing with red flames from afar, and it has a strong fragrance. Because there's a big guy guarding it, I can't get close at all." Ya Ru looked a little dejected when she heard that Qin Xin didn't want to go, and her little face was full of grievances.
Upon hearing Ya Ru's description, Qin Xin's expression changed slightly, and he murmured softly, "Could it be the Fire Spirit Spike?"
This Fire Spirit Spike is a sixth-grade spiritual herb. After it matures, the seeds emit a strong fragrance and contain rich fire-attribute spiritual power. For martial artists who possess fire attributes, it can be eaten directly to strengthen their bodies and has the effect of cleansing bones and marrow.
Qin Xin was tempted for a moment because there was a medicinal field in the mysterious fragment of the map. He wanted to try planting it. If successful, he would be able to have a continuous supply of Fire Spirit Spikes to eat in the future.
After making up his mind, Qin Xin immediately said to Ya Ru, "I agree. After we get it, we'll split it fifty-fifty."
Upon seeing Qin Xin agree, Ya Ru immediately jumped up excitedly and, under the cover of night, led Qin Xin away from the main peak of the Kun Sect.
However, Ya Ru led the way, not towards the entrance of the inner courtyard gate, but towards a secluded mountain range on the edge of the inner courtyard.
At first, Qin Xin was puzzled, but after getting closer and using his spiritual sense to sense it, he discovered some clues, because the array power on this mountain was very weak.
At first, Qin Xin was worried that if he left through the inner courtyard gate, he would be watched by some people. Now that he left through this hidden place, he thought that no one would notice him.
"Pop~".
After a faint sound rang out, Qin Xin looked towards Ya Ru. He saw a purple light flash across her palm, and a passage was opened up in the previously weak part of the array.
Qin Xin was slightly surprised to see this scene. He looked at Ya Ru with a strange expression. He had not been able to see the martial spirit of this little girl since he met her.
However, as the true energy circulated within Ya Ru's body, Qin Xin detected six points of light flashing on Ya Ru's martial core, which meant that she had already entered the sixth level of the Awakening Realm.
You must know that Ya Ru, who had just arrived at the inner courtyard, was a martial artist who had not yet reached the Opening Aperture Realm. Moreover, she spent her days playing around and did not concentrate on cultivation at all. Yet, she still had such a level of cultivation. On the other hand, Qin Xue cultivated quite diligently and had a supply of cultivation pills such as the Condensing Aperture Pill and the Five Elements Condensing True Pill. She had only condensed five True Apertures so far, which was enough to show Ya Ru's talent for cultivation. Only then did I understand why Hua Jin was not worried about Ya Ru's disappearance at all.
"Let's go!" After opening the passage, Ya Ru nervously looked around, beckoned to Qin Xin, and then stepped into the passage.
Suppressing his surprise, Qin Xin stepped into the passage.
After a moment of dizziness, Qin Xin's vision changed instantly. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, seemingly from a battle between demonic beasts.
The distant roars of demonic beasts caused Qin Xin's expression to change slightly.
As soon as the two came out, the passage behind them slowly disappeared. Ya Ru looked at the surrounding environment calmly, as if it were familiar, and walked forward with ease.
Seeing Ya Ru's calm demeanor, Qin Xin, compared to his earlier nervousness, grinned and tried his best to hide his embarrassment before quickly following her.
Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin also knew that there were no demonic beasts in the direction Ya Ru had gone.
As they traveled, the two stopped frequently, hiding in the giant trees or bushes, trying their best to hold their breath to avoid being detected by any passing monsters.
Qin Xin also discovered that most of these demonic beasts were strong enough to reach level five. Such level five demonic beasts were extremely rare to encounter on the outskirts of the Dead Leaf Forest, but they were so common in the depths of the Dead Leaf Forest.
This also explains why the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy is concealed by an array. If these demonic beasts were to enter the inner courtyard without the protection of the array, there would likely be considerable casualties.
As Ya Ru cautiously continued her journey, she suddenly stopped when she reached a valley, looking ahead with some vigilance.
After seeing Ya Ru stop, Qin Xin asked softly, "Why did you stop?"
When Qin Xin asked, Ya Ru smiled awkwardly and said, "It's too dark, I've forgotten the way."
Upon hearing that Ya Ru had forgotten the way, Qin Xin rolled his eyes at her. Along the way, they had been stopping and starting, and Qin Xin had thought that Ya Ru was being cautious and careful. He had even started to look at this little girl differently. But he never expected that the reason for all of this was simply that she had forgotten the way.
Qin Xin was about to speak, wanting to return to the inner courtyard. After all, he had sensed many dangers along the way. With his current strength at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, if he encountered a level six demonic beast, he would probably be trampled to death.
Ya Ru suddenly squatted down on the ground, her eyes tightly closed, and a purple phantom appeared behind her.
Qin Xin wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate, but found that he couldn't see through it at all. He was puzzled by the martial spirit behind Ya Ru and even more curious about her identity.
A moment later, Ya Ru opened her big eyes with a happy expression and said, "I've found the way, follow me!"
Ya Ru skipped and hopped forward, leaving Qin Xin, who wanted to ask a question, speechless for a moment.
"Forget it, let's wait until we get back to the inner courtyard to ask. I think Ya Ru's identity is not simple." Qin Xin thought to himself, and quickly followed after her.
