"Everyone be careful!"
Gu Fengying shouted and was the first to draw his sword and rush out.
"Aww!"
Howling Moon Dark Wolf!
A third-tier demon beast has an ice-blue crystal on its forehead, which is its demon crystal and the source of its power.
With a long howl, the demonic crystal of the Howling Moon Wolf shone brightly and actually sprayed out a jet of water, heading straight for Gu Fengying's face.
Don't be fooled by this seemingly ordinary water jet; it's actually stronger than a high-pressure water gun and it's toxic. If you accidentally get it on your skin, without an antidote, it can cause your flesh to rot.
Gu Fengying swept his longsword and thrust it toward the forehead of the Howling Moon Wolf.
Su Qing looked at Gu Fengying's skills and shook her head slightly. Although Gu Fengying had already reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, his cultivation technique was not up to par.
This resulted in Gu Fengying having abundant spiritual power, but her fighting style was too crude, and her combat strength was not high.
Ye Xinxin was not a sword cultivator; the magic weapon in her hand was a long ribbon. When the ribbon was raised, sand and stones flew everywhere. Although it blinded the Howling Moon Wolf for a moment, it also made her side flustered.
Too little combat experience!
As for Han Chen and the other outer disciples, they were scattered and disorganized during the battle.
Fortunately, they were only facing a third-tier Howling Moon Wolf. With these people ganging up on it, each of them could easily knock the Howling Moon Wolf to the ground.
Su Qing didn't make a move. With her senior brothers and sisters at the peak of the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages leading the charge, it was better for her, a mere fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, not to join the fray.
"Die!" Gu Fengying plunged his sword into the forehead of the fallen Howling Moon Wolf, plucked out the demon crystal, and the Howling Moon Wolf was beyond dead.
"A third-tier demon crystal." Gu Fengying put the spoils into her storage space.
Everyone crowded around and quickly divided up all the materials on the Howling Moon Wolf.
The teeth, fur, and skull of the Howling Moon Wolf are all valuable items.
Of course, the most precious thing is the demon crystal on her forehead.
Gu Fengying walked up to Su Qing and said, "Junior Sister Su Qing, although you are young, you have a lot of ideas and you cultivate diligently. I look forward to the day you successfully establish your foundation."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu," Su Qing said.
Over here, the Howling Moon Wolves had already devoured everything, and Gu Fengying told everyone to rest where they were.
Ye Xinxin skewered the meat of the Howling Moon Wolf on tree branches, grilled it over the campfire, and the aroma of the grilled meat filled the air, making everyone relax.
Looking at everyone's happy and harmonious scene, Su Qing couldn't help but think of her days in the Cloud Sword Sect in her previous life.
The Cloud Sword Sect leader has taken in eight personal disciples, but each of them harbors their own agendas, unlike the harmonious atmosphere at the Profound Spirit Sect.
"Junior Sister, this is for you." Han Chen handed over a wolf claw.
Wolf claws are extremely sharp; if made into concealed weapons, they would be very effective.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Han." Su Qing smiled.
After taking the wolf claws, Ye Xinxin handed over a skewer of roasted wolf meat. Su Qing took a bite and found that the roasted meat tasted much better than the braised meat of her senior brother Lan.
Moreover, the flesh of the newly hunted third-tier demon beast still contained a great deal of spiritual energy. After Su Qing finished eating, she unceremoniously sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
"A cultivation fanatic!" Ye Xinxin said with a smile.
Han Chen frowned and said, "Senior Sister Ye, do you think she'll be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage soon, given how diligently she cultivates?"
Ye Xinxin shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. Although Su Qing cultivates diligently, she is an outer disciple with three spiritual roots. No matter how hard she cultivates, she won't be able to cultivate faster than a cultivator with two spiritual roots."
"Senior Sister Ye, you're mistaken. Junior Sister Su Qing went into seclusion for a month and went directly from the third level of Qi Refining to the fifth level! Her cultivation speed is probably comparable to that of a single-spiritual-root cultivator," said an outer disciple.
Is it really that strong?
Ye Xinxin herself possessed three spiritual roots, and she knew very well how difficult cultivation was.
Gu Fengying possessed dual spiritual roots and achieved Foundation Establishment after five years of cultivation, while she herself cultivated for five years in the outer sect and then another five years in the inner sect before barely achieving Foundation Establishment.
This difference stems from a difference in qualifications.
But to my surprise, Su Qing, who only has three spiritual roots, was able to cultivate so quickly.
Thinking this, Ye Xinxin also began to sit cross-legged, trying to refine the spiritual energy in the wolf meat in her stomach.
Although she was circulating her inner energy, Ye Xinxin felt spiritual energy emanating from her internal organs, nourishing her body—a feeling she had never experienced before.
Half an hour later, Ye Xinxin exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling refreshed.
"Third-tier wolf meat?" Ye Xinxin looked surprised. She really didn't expect that after eating the wolf meat, she would immediately begin cultivating her inner energy and be able to nourish her internal organs with the spiritual energy in the wolf meat. This kind of cultivation was comparable to taking a Spirit Gathering Pill.
Ye Xinxin put all the wolf meat that everyone didn't want into her storage space. She had decided that she would take all the meat from the third-tier monsters she encountered during this training trip!
Su Qing was unaware that her actions had enlightened Ye Xinxin, who was currently experiencing her own sea of consciousness.
She felt the mist in her mind's sea of consciousness begin to thin out, and a gentle breeze seemed to caress her face.
wind?
How can there be wind in the sea of consciousness?
Su Qing withdrew from her sea of consciousness and saw that everyone was already packing up to continue their journey.
"Next, we're going to Manyun Valley. Once we get there, everyone needs to be careful. Although there are many spiritual herbs to pick in Manyun Valley, those of the third rank and above are guarded by guardian beasts, so we need to be extra careful," Gu Fengying instructed.
After speaking, Gu Fengying looked at Su Qing.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, you should stay by my side and not stray too far," Gu Fengying said.
Su Qing was very reluctant; she also wanted to pick spiritual herbs, but faced with Senior Brother Gu's concern, she nodded in agreement.
Emerging from the dense forest, we indeed arrived at a place shrouded in mist.
The aroma is rich and strong, suggesting that there are many fine medicinal herbs and fruits here.
“This place used to be a medicinal garden for the Xuanling Sect, but now it’s become a paradise for demonic beasts,” Gu Fengying said. “Everyone can go in groups of two or three to pick spiritual herbs and fruits. Everyone must be very careful.”
Gu Fengying naturally included Su Qing in his group, since Su Qing was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, which he considered too weak.
Ye Xinxin and Han Chen formed a team, while the other outer disciples formed their own teams.
Gu Fengying led Su Qing into a misty area, where Su Qing immediately spotted a Grade 3 Azure Grass shimmering with a pale blue light.
Azure Grass is the main ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and it can be sold for fifteen mid-grade spirit stones in the trading market.
However, this Azure Grass already had an owner, and a Tier 3 Gale Fox was watching it warily from the side.
