Everyone looked at the cultivator. He was dressed in a long white robe, with a tall and straight figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and some feminine features.
"A man with a woman's appearance... He's from the Wuyue Sect!" Someone recognized the man at that moment.
"The Wuyue Sect!? The Wuyue Sect members have all arrived. Does this prove that there are truly rare treasures in this tomb!" The Wuyue Sect is a dominant force in the Northern City, but they are known for their upright character and good reputation, and many people are proud of them.
Within the Wuyue Sect, there is only one person who is male but has the appearance of a woman, and that is Junior Uncle Yueying.
Moon Shadow is one of the strongest experts in these three levels. There are even rumors that he is not from the third level, but from a higher level. No one has ever seen him make a move because he is always accompanied by four people.
All dangers would be resolved by those four people, so he wouldn't have a chance to act. There was also a legend that when Yueying made a move, all the creatures around would die. So all those who had seen Yueying make a move were dead.
Upon hearing his words, Xu Yuehuai drew her silver sword. She hadn't intended to retreat; on her way here, she had eaten a meal at a villager's house at the foot of the mountain. Just for that meal, she couldn't allow these beasts to go down the mountain and wreak havoc on people.
The people at the foot of the mountain are not entirely without intelligence; they are just old, weak, sick, and disabled with low spiritual power, and have no ability to fight.
Many people stopped upon hearing Yueying's words, fearing the power behind him, and took out their weapons to attack the beasts. However, some cowards were unwilling to risk their lives for others and ran away from the scene as fast as they could.
Some people hid in the shadows, hoping to reap the benefits after Yueying and the others had dealt with these matters.
Once one of the beasts is killed, the others will immediately devour it, a scene of extreme cruelty.
After devouring the corpses of their companions, the beasts became even stronger. A deafening roar stunned everyone present. "That sound doesn't sound like an ordinary spirit beast."
“It’s like it’s gained sentience!” the man replied, his eyes filled with fear, and even the hand holding the weapon began to tremble.
Upon hearing this, many of the more timid people trembled, some even becoming too weak to stand.
Xu Yuehuai maintained the same expression throughout, which caught Yueying's attention. The Taoist priest was quite interested in this fearless young woman.
Many people considered themselves upright gentlemen, so they naturally had no reason to back down at this point and continued to grit their teeth and fight the group of spirit beasts head-on.
The spirit beasts were not easy to deal with either; in this short period of time, many people had been seriously injured and collapsed, coughing up blood.
Holding a silver sword, Xu Yuehuai weaved through the many spirit beasts. With each strike, a group of spirit beasts fell. The spiritual power within her body seemed inexhaustible, continuously providing sufficient strength for her attacks.
Yueying didn't need to lift a finger. Standing behind the four protectors, he looked at Xu Yuehuai's back and smiled, "Interesting."
"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person."
Yueying's smile captivated many around her, their eyes filled with fervor. But the next second, the attacks of the spirit beasts came one after another, forcing them to snap out of their daze and continue fighting against the group of spirit beasts.
The group of people endured the ordeal for an hour. Countless spirit beast corpses lay on the ground, but the number of spirit beasts coming down from the mountain did not decrease.
Xu Yuehuai felt a bit tired. She took out a bottle of pills from her spatial storage and swallowed them all in one go without thinking twice. A man standing next to her was shocked by Xu Yuehuai's actions. "Hey young lady, judging from your actions when you killed the spirit beast just now, you're not an alchemist, are you? Are you really going to waste pills like that?"
Xu Yuehuai paused in wiping her sword. "What do you mean?"
"These pills are rare items. Everyone takes them one by one, but you're taking them bottle after bottle. Even if your family is rich, they can't afford to waste them like this," the gentleman kindly reminded him.
Unexpectedly, his words attracted the attention of some people around him. Everyone looked at Xu Yuehuai, trying to see how much strength this girl really had. Xu Yuehuai naturally noticed the gazes of those around her, but she didn't try to hide it at all.
Seeing this, Yueying chuckled and slowly walked towards her. In a short while, she was in front of Xu Yuehuai. "Miss, I see you still have so many pills. I wonder if you could sell me one or two bottles?"
Yueying spoke very respectfully, and the item she took out to buy the pills was also very honest—spirit stones!
Those around Yueying looked on in surprise when they saw her take out spirit stones. Spirit stones were extremely rare at this level, even more so than pills.
"Young Master Yue is not injured and has no wounds. I wonder what use you have for the pills?" Xu Yuehuai asked.
Those standing nearby, seeing that Xu Yuehuai did not immediately agree, thought she was incredibly foolish.
"Has the Wuyue Sect become so wealthy? They're even using spirit stones to buy pills, and only two bottles at that! What a waste! I could buy a whole bunch!" Many people coveted the spirit stones in Yueying's hands, but they couldn't beat her, so they could only watch with envy.
"The four guardians who came with me all have wounds of various sizes. Since they are with me, I naturally cannot mistreat them. So I thought I would ask you for a few bottles of pills." Yueying spoke slowly and deliberately, like a gentle breeze that warmed the heart.
Xu Yuehuai overheard the people around her commenting on the spirit stones, and after thinking about Yueying's answer, she agreed. She took out three bottles filled with pills from her spatial storage and handed them to Yueying, saying, "The people around me say that your things are quite valuable, so I'm giving you an extra bottle."
The people around: "..." We're talking about something far more valuable than just one or two bottles!
Xu Yuehuai, unaware of what the others were thinking, accepted the two spirit stones that Yueying handed over.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's action, Yueying smiled inwardly, finding it amusing. "Then I thank you again, Miss."
Xu Yuehuai put the items into his spatial storage. Yuan Shui, who had been sleeping, was suddenly hit on the head by something hard. Before he could even fully open his eyes, his mouth started moving, "Xu Yuehuai!! Can you aim more carefully next time! Don't just throw things at me!"
The next second, Yuan Shui opened his eyes and saw two extremely pure spirit stones, which were rare even on the second floor. "Holy crap, where did you get these good stuff?"
Xu Yuehuai ignored Yuan Shui. Before they got to know each other, Yuan Shui would barely say a word for a whole month. But after they got to know each other better on this trip, Xu Yuehuai found that Yuan Shui was a complete chatterbox.
