The other two who were at the intermediate level of Qi Refining were unwilling to give up. They pushed Li Yiru away and said, "We don't want to cause trouble in the town. Get out of here!" The man who passed by her whispered a threat and chased after the woman.
Li Yirou knew from her intuition that the woman had already changed direction and left, so she stepped aside, put on the backpack containing the corpse, put the backpack containing the ginkgo nuts inside it, and followed the direction of the woman.
Soon, she found the woman's scent and followed her.
She had changed her clothes from somewhere, which might have delayed her, allowing Li Yiru to find her successfully.
Li Yirou was cautious. When no one was around, she pretended to take out the clean storage bag she had bought from her sleeve, put the bamboo basket containing ginkgo nuts into it, and then put the storage bag back.
As for the body hidden in the bamboo basket by the ginkgo branches, it was not too heavy for Li Yiru. Not wanting to dirty the storage bag, he carried it on his back and followed the woman out of the city.
She even had a concealing talisman on her body, making it difficult to detect her whereabouts. Fortunately, after her spirit platform transformed, Li Yirou's spiritual awareness became more acute, so she did not lose her.
The woman traveled quickly, bypassing Yougu Town and arriving at Qianshan Town built halfway up the mountain.
Li Yiru followed her and observed the surrounding environment. Qianshan Town was indeed sparsely populated, and everyone lived relatively scattered, with courtyards every hundred meters. It was very quiet, and if someone called out for help, they would be discovered by their neighbors and could look after each other.
Before the woman walked into her courtyard, she turned around to see if anyone was following her. She took out a jade pendant from her arms, injected spiritual consciousness and power into it, and stuck it on the courtyard door. The door opened in response, and she carefully entered the house.
The room had a natural protective isolation array, but it was not as strong as the array formed by the array disk. Li Yiru's spiritual sense could penetrate into it and found that there was no one inside. As soon as the woman entered, she hurriedly packed her things.
Maybe she needed to take a break before looking for her friend's child? Li Yirou wanted to tell herself so, but her intuition told her otherwise.
She recalled the woman's bravery in demanding compensation for her friend, and she was deeply moved. But was it all just an act? Or had she, after a night of deliberation, finally succumbed to the lure of money and decided to run away with it?
Li Yirou watched her put the things into the storage bag, then changed her clothes and walked forward.
It was not until they left Qianshan Town that Li Yiru's heart finally died down. They were all liars. She felt indescribably complicated. What was real in this world? For spirit stones and treasures, everyone could put aside everything and fight for them.
She controlled it with her spiritual consciousness, moved the array disk, and the Concealment Array and the Absolute Soul Array together enveloped the woman. She then jumped into the array and stood in front of the woman, her eyes filled with a deep look. "Where are you going?"
The woman was startled by her sudden appearance and took a deep breath. She had never expected that she would be followed by that foolish boy. In her panic, she blurted out a lie, "Little Taoist friend, I was just about to go back to find you."
...After saying that, he realized that the direction he was heading didn't seem to be towards Baiguo Town, so he quickly changed his words: "I'll go... I'll go look for the neighbor's child first."
"If we're neighbors, why don't we live in the same town?" Li Yirou didn't want to waste any more time talking to her. She pulled out the spirit sword her senior sister had given her. "Where's her son? I'll go give him the spirit stone."
"I, I'm not from this town before. I'm going to Yunjiao Town. Her home is there."
Seeing that the young man was unmoved, the woman obviously saw through the lie she made up. After a further investigation with her spiritual sense, she found that the young man in front of her was only at the first level of Qi Refining. She was so much older than him, so why should she be afraid of him!
"You just want to steal the money, why do you have to act so pure and unworldly? You are such a hypocrite, and you are still looking for an excuse..." The woman scolded her while moving her hands secretly. Before Li Yiru could take the things, the wood-type spell suddenly wrapped around her hands, making her unable to move.
But the woman took out not a weapon, but a talisman. She controlled the explosive talisman between her fingertips with her spiritual consciousness, injected spiritual power into it, and with a wave of her two fingers holding the talisman, threw it towards Li Yiru's face.
Li Yiru controlled the formation and the protective shield blocked the talisman. With a "bang", the impact of the explosive talisman was quite strong. The protective shield that she had infused with spiritual power was shaken twice and almost failed to block the attack.
The talisman was so powerful that Li Yiru became interested in it. This was only the lowest level one, equivalent to an explosive fireball spell. It did not require the cultivator to expend much spiritual energy and could be done just by controlling the talisman.
[This isn't just the first level of Qi Refining!] The woman could tell from just one talisman that this young man was no ordinary person, as he could withstand the talisman's attack with just a protective formation!
She used a spell to cut off the wooden branches that bound her hands, thinking to herself that something was wrong. She confronted Li Yiru with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"My dear brother, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. How about I give you one of the spirit stones?" The woman said tentatively, "I see you're not unreasonable. I risked my life to get this, so please leave some for me."
Although Li Yirou had some guesses in her mind, when she completely uncovered the truth, she was overwhelmed with resentment, "Does that woman have a child?" She looked at the woman with a gloomy expression, as if she wanted to burn a hole in her body.
"How would I know?!" The woman seemed to think she was being unreasonable. Why would she care so much about a stranger? "Anyway, no one stood up to stop her. If I hadn't been so brave, wouldn't all this money have been wasted?"
"I'll give you two pieces, okay?" Li Yirou's expression was stern, and it didn't seem like he was after money. "Little brother, why are you doing this? Do you know this woman?"
Then why didn't he stand up at that time? The woman was very puzzled. No, she suddenly remembered that he stood up. After the foundation-building cultivator killed the woman, at the last moment of his countdown of ten breaths, this young man was among the three people who stood up!
The woman's mind raced. Could there really be such kindhearted people in the world of cultivation? Those two elderly people were slated to die soon, so why did he step forward? Unless...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck the woman, and she felt like she had discovered something. Her heart beat violently for a few beats. Steady herself! She told herself that she was just a teenager, and as long as she pretended for a while...
She didn't show it on her face, as if she hadn't noticed anything. Her tone was a bit intimate and flattering, "Little brother, these five spirit stones are all yours. Please spare me, okay?"
Anyway, she couldn't defeat this young man even if she used two more talismans, and it would also waste a lot of precious resources, so she might as well give them all to him.
If this young man is the Li Yiru, or knows that girl, she will report this information to Yijian Sect and provide such useful clues. The foundation-building cultivator will definitely give her some rewards.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. She has always been living with her head on the line in this world. As an auxiliary monk in the monster hunting team, she has long since become indifferent to life and death.
I believe that if she goes to the sect to provide clues, the foundation-building cultivator will be restrained by the sect leader and will not kill indiscriminately.
