Wen Chuyu looked at Ji Jiuying, as if asking a question.
Wen Chuyu's words gave Ji Jiuying a flash of inspiration. If she could use spirit fruits to make cocktails and open a winery in Kyoto, she would surely make a fortune.
Wen Chuyu chuckled as she watched Ji Jiuying alternate between spacing out and giggling, and Ji Jiuying snapped back to reality.
"Because it's just ordinary wine," he quickly explained.
After everyone had eaten their fill, it was completely dark outside. The forest at night was more than twice as cold as it was during the day. The wind howled, rustling the leaves, and the roars of monsters added to the eerie atmosphere of the forest.
Wen Chuyu offered to keep watch at the cave entrance tonight and even set up a barrier to conceal his presence.
The battle with the Crimson Copper Bull during the day had depleted everyone's spiritual energy, so they got up early to meditate and cultivate, replenishing their energy.
Ji Jiuying was no exception. After these few days of actual combat, her foundation had long been stabilized, and her cultivation had long since reached a bottleneck.
He even felt a slight loss of control over the spiritual energy within his body, but with so many people here, entering the space was impossible.
At this moment, Wen Chuyu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Ji Jiuying also sensed something and quietly approached Wen Chuyu's side.
A delicate fragrance wafted over, and Wen Chuyu looked to the side and was stunned for a moment. The person beside her was dressed in red, with a fair face, bathed in moonlight, like a bewitching red spider lily.
"You noticed it too?"
"Mmm," Ji Jiuying responded softly, then placed her hand to her lips, signaling for quiet.
Wen Chuyu and Ji Jiuying both doubted their own strength, wondering why they only noticed someone nearby at such close range. Was the newcomer too strong, or were they too unprepared?
In the darkness, a dark figure paced back and forth, as if searching for something.
"Hiss~ That's strange, it's definitely here?" the man muttered to himself.
Suddenly, his eyes turned to the cave not far away, and he narrowed his eyes as he approached step by step.
Wen Chuyu and Ji Jiuying felt a chill in their hearts and became more vigilant. The people inside also sensed something and picked up their weapons.
Only Wen Longting is still sleeping.
At this moment, Wen Longting rolled over, "Mmm~ I want to eat hot pot too~, don't you dare steal my meat~ Mmm~"
The crowd: "..."
Ji Jiuying was speechless and wondered the heavens, "Is this what they call a terrible teammate?"
Upon hearing the sound, the dark figure quickly arrived at the cave entrance, squinting as it peered inside. The people inside also watched the dark figure warily at the cave entrance.
The shadowy figure knew there were people inside the cave, but he didn't know if the person he was looking for was among them. Moreover, he sensed that there was more than one aura inside, so he dared not venture in rashly.
The two sides remained deadlocked, neither moving forward nor backward.
Ji Jiuying looked at the dark figure at the door and thought it looked familiar!
"Shadowmoon?"
"Miss Ji!" Yingyue was overjoyed. He had finally found her. He knew that the Monster Forest at night was much more terrifying than during the day. If something had happened before he found her, even ten lives wouldn't have been enough for his master to kill him.
Everyone put away their weapons. It turned out that Xiao Jiu knew them. It was a false alarm!
Wen Chuyu removed the barrier, took out the luminous pearl, and only then could she see the face of the person who had come.
It turns out there was a barrier that isolated his aura; no wonder he couldn't sense it earlier.
Yingyue glanced quickly at everyone, her gaze finally settling on Wen Chuyu. Was it him?
Wen Chuyu felt his gaze, and their eyes met in the air. She thought to herself, "Could it be that he knows me?"
"How did you find me?" Ji Jiuying knew that the man must have sent him, but the Monster Forest was so vast, how could he have found her so accurately?
"Tracking technique".
I see.
Suddenly, Ji Jiuying frowned. Oh no, the power within her body was trying to burst out on its own.
"Miss Ji?"
"Xiao Jiu?" Everyone noticed Ji Jiu's change.
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Ji Jiuying sat down and began to meditate, circulating her spiritual energy.
"It seems she's reached a bottleneck and is about to advance." Wen Chuyu's expression showed a hint of worry.
Finally, Yingyue offered to protect Ji Jiuying, while Wen Chuyu remained outside. The others couldn't offer much help, so they had to cultivate on their own.
Just kidding, Miss Ji is very likely to be his future mistress. For his master's happiness, he will not give other men the chance to get close to his future mistress.
Although Wen Chuyu was at the cave entrance, his icy blue eyes never left that touch of red.
Ji Jiuying felt her meridians surging, and she slowly circulated her spiritual energy.
Time ticked by, and finally, they broke through that barrier. But it didn't stop there; another barrier appeared...
Wen Chuyu was shocked; it was the first time he had ever seen someone advance consecutively.
He only knew that she had advanced in rank, but he couldn't see through her cultivation level. His usually calm expression turned slightly scrutinizing; she seemed to have many secrets...
Ji Jiuying used her divine sense to examine her body, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. She broke through three levels and reached the fourth star of the Great Spirit Master.
The third level of the Divine Control Technique has not yet been unlocked, so let's continue practicing the second level.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Jiuying's slightly curled eyelashes trembled a few times, and her clear, beautiful eyes finally opened.
I blinked, a little unsure of what to do; it was already daylight.
Why are these people staring at her? Is there something dirty on her face? She unconsciously wiped her face with her hands.
This series of actions drew laughter from them. "Hahaha, Xiao Jiu, you're so cute!"
"The sun's already high in the sky, and you're still practicing!"
"Uh~"
Then they discovered that Yingyue was gone, presumably hiding. Ji Jiu and Yinghua washed their faces by the stream and then went into the depths of the forest with the others.
Along the way, there were many more people in the forest than yesterday. Were they all there for that secret realm? To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Ji Jiuying even wore a veil.
"There are so many more spiritualists in the forest today. I heard a rumor that a secret realm would appear in the Monster Forest in the next few days, and it seems to be true." Shen Miaoqing's expression was somewhat solemn.
"Indeed, it looks like the secret realm is about to appear." Wen Chuyu looked towards the horizon, fearing that another storm was brewing.
Wen Chuyu had just finished speaking.
Boom! The sun was instantly swallowed up by the dark clouds.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, dark clouds rolled, and a fierce wind howled like the howl of a wild beast. The dark sky was filled with an overwhelming, murky atmosphere.
A flash of light exploded in the center of the forest, startling the spirit beasts in the Demon Beast Forest, causing them to scatter in all directions and triggering a riot.
Many who train in the forest are brutally killed by spirit beasts, while those with higher cultivation levels may be able to escape by chance.
"Such a powerful aura and oppressive force, could it be a sacred beast?" Shen Miaoqing's expression changed slightly.
The entire earth trembled violently as the spirit beast drew ever closer.
"Let's go, let's get out of here first and avoid the beast tide." Ji Jiuying's petite body soared into the air, using the force of the tree branches to fly forward.
Seeing this, everyone quickly flew over and followed, unknowingly arriving in the center of the forest.
