"I can give you the Desert Eagle's demon crystal, but you must leave your lives behind!" Mu Zihan's voice wasn't loud, but it was chilling.
As expected of the number one outer disciple of the Xuanling Sect, his combat power and demeanor are simply amazing.
The boy in black robes crossed his arms, his face pale.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, healing your injuries is the priority. We can get rid of this Sand Eagle," a disciple of the Wuji Sect said to the black-robed youth.
The black-robed youth was in so much pain he was about to faint, and he had no strength left to argue.
So, the dozen or so people from the Wuji Sect escorted the black-robed youth away.
Mu Zihan stopped the crowd and said coldly, "You can leave, but leave the arrows behind!"
The Wuji Sect members turned pale. It wasn't that they didn't want to return the arrow, but they simply couldn't; the arrow was stuck in their wrists.
"Fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
Su Qing's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Mu Zihan's words.
Senior Brother Mu, I'll respect you from now on!
The dozen or so members of the Wuji Sect exchanged glances, and in the end, for the sake of the black-robed youth's wrist, they scraped together 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones and slunk away.
Su Qing watched with shining eyes as Mu Zihan calmly accepted the spirit stones, then walked to the corpse of the Sand Eagle, pulled the arrow out of the Sand Eagle's eye, and put it away. Then, with a dagger, she skillfully dug out the Sand Eagle's demon crystal.
This is an earth-attribute demon crystal, shimmering with a pale yellow light; it's quite pretty.
"Let's go!" Mu Zihan said to the Xuanling Sect disciple beside him.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Su Qing hurriedly walked over and said, "Senior Brother Mu Zihan, I'm Su Qing. I was randomly teleported and haven't met any fellow disciples yet. Could Senior Brother Mu give me a ride?"
Mu Zihan glanced at Su Qing, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Yes, it was evil; Su Qing could sense its evil.
What does that mean?
"Junior Sister Su Qing?"
Su Qing nodded quickly.
"I've heard you're skilled in talismans and elixirs? You're quite famous in the Xuanling Sect," Mu Zihan said.
Su Qing suddenly felt a chill.
Then Mu Zihan said, "One thousand Rejuvenation Pills, and I'll protect you for a while, how about it?"
Su Qing's eyes widened; she suddenly realized why she felt a little cold.
Indeed, watching others rob is pleasing to the eye, but when you are the one being robbed, Su Qing feels like crying but has no tears left.
The senior brothers she met in the Xuanling Sect all gave her gifts when they met her, so why did Mu Zihan always ask for things?
"What? Junior Sister Su Qing is reluctant to part with him?" Mu Zihan asked.
"No, no!" Su Qing took out two jars and said, "One jar contains five hundred spirit pills, and there are exactly one thousand here. Please protect me, Senior Brother Mu Zihan."
Mu Zihan raised his eyelids and stared at Su Qing for a long time. He originally wanted to make things difficult for Su Qing.
Although they were from the same sect, Su Qing was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he didn't want to have a burden on him at all.
Unexpectedly, Su Qing is also a ruthless person. She actually managed to take out these thousand Rejuvenation Pills, and not only did she take them out, she gave them away without hesitation!
Mu Zihan admires this kind of person!
Mu Zihan then burst into laughter: "Junior Sister Su Qing is so straightforward!"
As he spoke, Mu Zihan generously took the two jars that Su Qing had brought out. He put one jar of Spirit Recovery Pills into his own storage space, and let his brothers divide the other jar among themselves.
"Brothers, from now on, Junior Sister Su Qing is officially a member of our group," Mu Zihan said to the Xuanling Sect disciples behind him.
"I'll do whatever Senior Brother Mu says."
Su Qing looked at these Xuanling Sect disciples and realized that they were all outer disciples of the Xuanling Sect.
What about those inner disciples?
Su Qing thought of Yu Kui and Yin Yao, Han Chen, Bai Xintong and Jiang Cheng.
She was not familiar with the other five inner disciples, nor did she want to concern herself with their lives, but she hoped that the five inner disciples she knew were safe and sound.
Being by Mu Zihan's side is so worry-free.
Mu Zihan's combat power is exceptionally high. Su Qing felt that Mu Zihan could even hold his own against a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In the secret realm of the Gobi Desert, Mu Zihan could kill fourth-tier monsters like the Sand Eagle with a single arrow, and any third-tier monsters he encountered were as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
If it were a first or second-tier demonic beast, the other outer disciples would have been able to handle it.
Along the way, Su Qing didn't need to raise her hand at all; as soon as she saw a monster, it would die instantly.
Not only that, when it was time to rest, Su Qing didn't have to lift a finger. Someone would find a spot, light a campfire, and grill food. Su Qing just had to tag along and enjoy the food.
It's always good to have a big tree to shelter under!
The joining fee was well worth it.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, you're only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, yet you dare to come to the secret realm to scavenge for bargains. I, Mu Zihan, admire you!" Mu Zihan leaned against a large rock, glancing sideways at Su Qing.
Su Qing gave an awkward laugh.
She's only doing this because she's been reborn and her storage space is overflowing with treasures.
Otherwise, with such low cultivation levels, why would they bother going to secret realms when they have nothing better to do?
"Senior Brother Mu, I admire you too. You haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, but your combat power is already so strong," Su Qing said.
Mu Zihan turned his neck and said, "We outer disciples with three spiritual roots can't compare to those with single, different, or double spiritual roots. We can only study hard and get to the Core Formation stage. What's the use of strong combat power? The further we cultivate, the more pathetic we become."
That's true.
Even with the aptitude of three spiritual roots, no matter how hard one cultivates, cultivation will be slow and one will not go far.
Most people with three spiritual roots can cultivate to the Core Formation stage, but those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage are extremely rare.
Su Qing paid a heavy price to achieve Nascent Soul in her previous life. Later, because her lifespan was running out, she chose to perish together with the Demon Lord.
“Senior Brother Mu, we must always look forward. Even if the chances are slim, we still have to keep moving forward, right?” Su Qing said with a smile.
She firmly believes that she will achieve more in this life than in her previous life!
And it's much higher.
"Well said!" Mu Zihan smiled, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth.
"I wonder which elder Brother Mu plans to become a disciple of after he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage?" Su Qing asked.
Mu Zihan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Naturally, I will be a disciple of Elder Haoyang of Crimson Shadow Peak, and I will follow Elder Haoyang to refine weapons in the future."
Elder Haoyang of Crimson Shadow Peak is a grandmaster of weapon crafting. Su Qing obtained the Falling Snow Sword from Senior Brother Ji Luoxuan in the weapon crafting room. Ji Luoxuan is an inner disciple of Crimson Shadow Peak.
"I can't compare to my junior sister. She was already the disciple chosen by Elder Shui Qingchen of Jade Maiden Peak right after she entered the sect," Mu Zihan said.
When he joined the Xuanling Sect, he was just an ordinary outer disciple. He worked hard in the outer sect for five years and finally made some progress in his cultivation. Now he has reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage and is ranked first among the outer disciples.
Mu Zihan was born into the Mu family, which was a small cultivation family but a weapon-refining family. As the eldest son of the Mu family, he naturally wanted to learn weapon refining.
Mu Zihan, Mu Zihan...
Su Qing looked up and stared at Mu Zihan, realizing she hadn't remembered at all.
Mu Zihan is destined to become a master weapon refiner!
