Fu Xiaolu regained consciousness, her expression darkening considerably, but she resumed her work of dissecting the green-legged centipede with deft, quick movements. She sheathed her knife and placed the disassembled monster into her storage bag.
"We'll divide the things after we get out of Lingwu Valley." Fu Xiaolu looked at Li Yiru, still looking reliable and meticulous.
"Okay." Li Yirou remained concise, replying with a single word. Xia Yanhong and the other two now realized that Junior Brother Fang's indifference towards Xiaolu and them truly meant nothing to him.
Li Yiru glanced at their expressions and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her goal had been achieved.
"Have you rested well? Let's go." Fu Xiaolu saw that everyone had recovered well and continued to explore the secret realm.
But her expression had returned to normal. She didn't have any deep feelings for him, just a little affection. Her main goal was to improve her cultivation, so Fang was excluded by her.
But they had already formed a team, and Fang Ye was not weak. She didn't want her teammates to waste the opportunity to explore the secret realm because of her selfishness. Or bring Fang Ye in, because he didn't know the situation and couldn't get what she wanted, and then throw him into the secret realm.
"Xiao Lu, you..." Xia Yanhong was still a little worried, but because Fang Ye was right next to her, she could only stop herself from saying anything, and expressed her unspoken words through her eyes.
"I'm recovered, too." Fu Xiaolu was truly fine, giving them a hint. Really, she'd made them worry for nothing. If she had known, she should have inquired about Fang Ye's situation before telling them. She just hadn't expected him to find a Taoist partner so early. Could it be that his cultivation had stagnated a few years ago? But how old was he then...
Fu Xiaolu thought about it for a while, and the treasure-hunting rat in Fang Ye's sleeve started squeaking again.
"Junior Brother Fang, where are we going this time?" Lu Si seemed to trust this ugly treasure-hunting rat very much. After all, it led them to find the Ganoderma lucidum and also harvested a green-legged centipede.
But Fang Ye's face was troubled. He shook his head and said, "Don't listen to it. I'm afraid we won't find anything good this time."
"Every time it finds a spiritual plant of better quality, it refuses to obey." Li Yiru nodded its little head, but her eyes did not show disgust or anger. They could see that even so, he still liked this spiritual pet very much.
"It's okay. We probably won't find anything good if we follow the map anyway." Zhang Xueyan, like everyone else, still had expectations, hoping that the treasure-hunting rat would find high-grade spiritual plants.
This time, under Li Yiru's deliberate arrangement, Duobao found a bunch of the most common spiritual-replenishing herbs. The cultivators who were at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining didn't think much of this thing.
This ugly treasure-hunting rat was holding a plant and eating it, so I just gave it all to it. After all, it had just done a good deed.
Duobao didn't find any more valuable spiritual plants in the next few times, and the others stopped paying attention to him. Treasure-hunting rats are like that; it's perfectly normal.
But before this trip, they had clearly divined their fortunes, and the results were favorable. But unexpectedly, they found no spiritual plants along the way, and instead encountered numerous demonic beasts. They had barely recovered when they encountered another one before they had even taken a few steps.
They encountered monsters along the way. After a few days, the four of them were exhausted. Their faces, which had been full of vitality and vitality nourished by spiritual energy, now looked tired.
Fu Xiaolu contributed the most, the other one was Zhang Xueyan, but she felt that the next one was the seemingly ordinary Fang Ye, but his contribution was not in the damage to the monsters, but in allowing them to better display their own strength.
He was clearly the weakest in cultivation, but his spiritual power was the most enduring, and his control was extremely precise, so precise that she was a little envious. At his level of cultivation, she would definitely not be able to achieve such an effect.
Fu Xiaolu has always believed that the cultivators coming from the lower realm must be much worse than them because they are so different from the Central Plains where they live in all aspects.
Ke Fang also faced the monsters and assisted the four of them with ease. His only shortcoming was that his attacks were not strong enough. When they occasionally missed, he would also make up for the damage done by the monsters, but due to his lack of cultivation, the damage he caused was also insufficient.
Moreover, his formations are not so rigid, and they have a certain degree of agility and talent... Perhaps he is so strong because he has experienced too many life and death battles in the Western Realm.
Fu Xiaolu seemed to have found the reason why she had not been able to advance. They always pursued 100% safety.
This time, when he entered the secret realm, he didn't encounter any fellow disciples along the way. There was no one to fight together and help each other. He also faced monsters one after another, and he barely had time to breathe.
Originally exhausted both physically and mentally, Fu Xiaolu sensed that her cultivation had loosened slightly when she was about to leave the secret realm. Although there was no obvious change, she had a hunch that as long as she continued to work harder, she would be able to improve.
Perhaps she doesn't need to rely on finding a Taoist partner or using any folk remedies; she can continue to move forward on her own!
After returning to the sect, they and Li Yiruo collected the things back to the sect. Li Yiruo got nearly 20% of the spirit stones, which was quite fair.
When they said goodbye to Li Yirou, Fu Xiaolu sincerely expressed her hope to team up with her again next time. The others also praised her, saying that her formation was good and her talismans were applied in a timely manner.
Li Yirou still looked calm and said, "Okay." After that, she rode the paper crane straight to Taoyuan Mountain.
Perhaps it had rained during the few days she was away, so the ground was not too dry, but the young wind chime tree seedlings were indeed difficult to care for, and some had already wilted.
After receiving the money, Li Yirou began to work diligently, starting with the others, examining each one one by one. She replenished the plants that needed vitality, watered them using the spells, and even if some were infested with insects, she would use her spiritual sense to detect them and kill them with the spells.
When she was in the secret realm before, she used An Xiaopang's spiritual awareness and Ren Fei's spiritual power release time as a reference. She increased her spiritual power and endurance a little more than Ren Fei's second level of Qi training, and cooperated with Fu Xiaolu and others in their experience and adventure in the secret realm.
But even so, they all thought she was very strong and often praised her for her solid cultivation.
It seems that ordinary disciples in the Central Plains are indeed a little lacking in experience.
She returned to Taoyuan Mountain, worried about someone passing by. If they were hiding within the formation, she wouldn't be able to detect them, which would arouse suspicion. So, she had to be more cautious when caring for the spiritual plants, working for a while, resting for a while, and being careful.
Suddenly, a spiritual detection came from the sky. So powerful! Li Yirou didn't even dare to show her slightly stiff expression and continued watering the tree.
After the detection was withdrawn, Li Yirou could still feel someone staring at her, a condescending gaze from behind that sent a chill down her spine. However, the other person didn't seem to harbor any ill intentions, merely glancing at her for a few moments.
Then the space in front of Li Yiru shook slightly, and a person appeared in front of her out of thin air.
