On the outskirts of the Ming Kingdom, it was very difficult to find a bustling city or a dense crowd. On the contrary, there were more continuous mountain ranges and vast forests. One could even hear the roars of Magical Beasts in some of the deep forests.
"I say, Little Sister Shishi, if we go any further, we will be out of the Ming Kingdom. Are you going to another kingdom to pick immortal herbs?"
"Shut up. Also, how many times have I warned you not to call my little sister by her name?"
Above the blue sky and white clouds, two streaks of purple light streaked across the sky. It was Xing Jue and Lin Shishi.
It had been almost ten days since they left the Limitless Court. During these ten days, apart from taking a short break, the two of them had been traveling day and night.
But even after such a long time, Xing Jue still didn't know where Lin Shishi was taking him. It could be said that Xing Jue knew nothing at all.
Adding on the fact that Lin Shishi didn't want to chat, Xing Jue was bored to the extreme. After ten whole days, Xing Jue only knew that this girl's full name was Lin Shishi. He didn't know anything else.
For some reason, Lin Shishi gave Xing Jue a mysterious feeling. Ever since they left the Limitless Court, Lin Shishi's personality had become colder and colder.
Something must have happened to cause such a change in a person. Therefore, Xing Jue felt that Lin Shishi didn't have absolute confidence in obtaining the rank four immortal herb.
"I say, no matter what, I was hired by you. I'm not a laborer. You can't treat me like this."
"No, I'm hungry. I'm going to catch some fresh fish."
Along the way, under Lin Shishi's strict supervision, Xing Jue had been eating the dry rations he had brought with him. Moreover, he had been eating without stopping. It was truly a miserable life.
At this moment, Xing Jue looked at the raging river below and couldn't help but want to catch some fish and roast them. After eating dry rations for almost ten days, Xing Jue had had enough.
"Bear with it a little longer. There's a village not far ahead. I'll treat you to a good meal there!" Seeing that Xing Jue was about to rush into the river as he spoke, Lin Shishi shook her head helplessly.
"Oh? Is there a village in front? I say, Little Sister Shi 'shi, you've finally found your conscience. Hurry, hurry up! " After hearing Lin Shishi's words, Xing Jue was instantly overjoyed. He, who was already exhausted, was instantly filled with energy and rushed forward at top speed.
However, what caused Xing Jue to feel helpless was that after flying for a full hour, what appeared in their sight was actually a vast forest.
This forest was so vast that it could be compared to a green ocean. It was boundless and boundless, and one could often hear the howls of magical beasts in this forest. It could be seen that this forest had indeed been here for many years.
At first, Xing Jue thought that Lin Shishi was lying to him. However, after flying at top speed for another hour, a small plain appeared in the middle of the dense forest. There was indeed a small village at the bottom of the plain. However, the village seemed to be facing a great calamity at this moment.
"Damn it, hand over the Immortal Herb or we'll slaughter everyone here!"
"Sir, please spare us. We're just villagers who hunt for a living. We really don't have the Immortal Herb that you're talking about!"
The villagers of the village, men and women, old and young, were all surrounded by a group of strong, armoured men. Although this group of strong men only had the strength of a Martial God, each of them looked ferocious and their bodies reeked of blood. It was obvious that they were all people who had killed before.
People like this were not uncommon in the Ming Kingdom. They were not very strong and were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. They relied on the extraordinary spiritual weapons in their hands and preyed on the people for a living. They were known as horse bandits.
"The world is so big but there's no such thing as peace. Even in this kind of wilderness, there are people robbing people!"
As he watched the scene unfold not too far away, Xing Jue's eyes immediately burst with flames of anger. Along the way, he had encountered many such incidents. Xing Jue hated people who preyed on the people and bullied those who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken.
Swoosh.
However, just as Xing Jue was about to fly towards the village, he saw a ray of purple light flash past Xing Jue's body at an extremely fast speed. It was actually Lin Shishi.
Seeing Lin Shishi's actions, Xing Jue could not help but be stunned. A look of surprise appeared on his face. Along the way, whenever they encountered such incidents, Xing Jue would always intervene. However, Lin Shishi would always stop him, saying that she could not handle such matters.
Originally, Xing Jue was already somewhat disgusted by Lin Shishi's cold attitude. However, he did not expect that this time, Lin Shishi would actually take the initiative to rescue the villagers. This was because Xing Jue could already feel Lin Shishi's murderous intent.
As expected, when Lin Shishi arrived at the village, she did not say a word and immediately attacked the horse bandits. There were quite a number of horse bandits, about thirty of them. However, under Lin Shishi's hands, they were all killed in a short amount of time!
"I say, have you been influenced by me and learned to fight for justice?!" After Lin Shishi killed the last horse bandit in the air, Xing Jue descended from the sky with a surprised smile on his face.
"Grandfather Wang, are you alright?"
However, in response to Xing Jue's question, Lin Shishi did not reply. Instead, she directly walked towards the old man who had been bullied by the horse bandits and anxiously helped him up.
"Sister Shishi!!!!"
At this moment, two children around the age of eight suddenly ran out from among the villagers. It was a boy and a girl but they looked very similar. From the looks of it, they should be a pair of twins.
The two children were extremely excited when they saw Lin Shishi. They dove head first into Lin Shishi's soft and fluffy arms and tightly hugged Lin Shishi's slender waist that countless men desired, refusing to let go.
In particular, the little boy was even crazier. He actually buried his little head under Lin Shishi's protruding breasts and rubbed it as he pleased. If not for the fact that he was still young, Xing Jue would have suspected that he was deliberately taking advantage of Lin Shishi, a young girl.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Long, you've grown taller again!"
However, what surprised Xing Jue the most was that Lin Shishi did not feel the slightest bit repulsed by the two children's actions. Instead, she affectionately rubbed their long hair, her beautiful eyes filled with gentleness.
"I was wondering why there was such a big contrast. It turns out that she knows the people here!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, no matter how stupid Xing Jue was, he could roughly guess what was going on. Lin Shishi called the old man grandpa, and the two children called Lin Shishi sister. It was obvious that they had known each other for a long time and were probably relatives.
As expected, Xing Jue's guess was right. In this village of less than a hundred people, everyone knew Lin Shishi and they were very excited to see her.
Perhaps it was because of Lin Shishi, the villagers were also very enthusiastic about Xing Jue. In the end, they were forcibly dragged into the village.
Xing Jue could feel that the enthusiasm of these villagers came from the bottom of their hearts. It was not because of his identity as a disciple of the Everlasting Courtyard, nor was it because of his strength. It was because they really wanted to treat him well.
"Senior Brother Li, it seems that we are in trouble this time!"
"Don't worry. Since they are disciples of the Everlasting Courtyard, it means that this village is not simple. Maybe we can really find what we want!"
However, after Xing Jue and Lin Shishi were welcomed into the village, three figures suddenly appeared in the depths of the forest.
They were three men in purple robes with a red flame engraved on the back of their robes. Two of them had the aura of an Intermediate Asura Martial Artist. The man with a scar on the left side of his face was an Advanced Asura Martial Artist!
Due to the distance, Xing Jue did not sense their existence at all, let alone their conversation. He was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the village.
This time, Lin Shishi did not lie to him. Although the village looked poor, in fact, they made a living by hunting. Coupled with Lin Shishi's financial support, they did not lack wine and meat.
The table was filled with delicacies from the mountains and wild animals. It was enough to satisfy Xing Jue's craving for food. Xing Jue also found out about the relationship between Lin Shishi and this village from the mouths of those naive children.
It turned out that Lin Shishi was an orphan who grew up here. Three years ago, she was taken to the Everlasting Courtyard by the elders of the Everlasting Courtyard. However, they did not know the reason why Lin Shishi was taken away. However, Lin Shishi would come here every year to visit them.
"Brother Xing Jue, the bathwater is ready!"
After the banquet, Xing Jue was lying on a rocking chair in a small courtyard, eating shredded meat from his teeth and enjoying a comfortable life.
However, the twins named Xiao Long and Xiao Feng skipped over to Xing Jue. Furthermore, they were carrying a large wooden bucket in their hands. The wooden buckets were still giving off wisps of steam.
"Bathwater? I never said I wanted to take a bath! "Seeing this, Xing Jue was confused.
"I asked them to do it for you. Before you take a bath, remember to drip three drops of Body Refining Essence!" Right at this moment, Lin Shishi's figure also walked out of the house and threw a purple jade bottle to Xing Jue. That was actually Rank 3 Body Refining Essence?
"You want to give me the Body Refining Essence now? Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word? "Xing Jue asked with a smile.
"Cut the crap. If you rely on that stone of yours, you won't be able to become a high-level Asura Warrior in half a year."
"But this Third Order Body Refining Essence is different. The Asura energy it absorbs will naturally fuse into your body, and it won't affect your daily cultivation. This way, your cultivation speed will increase, and within two months, you might be able to break through!" Lin Shishi said lightly.
"You … you can actually sense my strength?"
After hearing Lin Shishi's words, Xing Jue couldn't help but be taken aback. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that even though he had been hiding from Lin Shishi, she would still discover the secret of the Asura Condensing Stone.
Moreover, she could see through Xing Jue's strength. Based on the daily growth of Xing Jue's strength, she analyzed the time it would take for Xing Jue to break through. It had to be known that other than Xing Jue himself, ordinary people would not be able to sense this. Even top experts would not be able to.
"Don't forget that the Soul Strength of an Alchemist is very strong. Furthermore, my Soul Strength is much more special than ordinary Alchemists."
"Alright, cut the crap. I need to prepare some things these days. Don't disturb me on normal days. When it's time to leave, I'll look for you!"
Lin Shishi's attitude towards Xing Jue was still cold. However, she was unusually friendly towards Xiao Long and Xiao Feng. After coldly telling Xing Jue what to do, she took the twins and left the courtyard.
"Third rank Body Refining Essence is indeed extraordinary. I didn't expect it to have superimposed cultivation effects. I really don't know how strong the Fourth rank Body Refining Essence will be!"
Xing Jue looked at the steaming hot Third Rank Body Refining Essence in the wooden barrel. His eyes were filled with anticipation. If it was really as Lin Shishi said, the Third Rank Body Refining Essence would not affect his daily cultivation. Within two months, Xing Jue might really be able to break through.
"Plop" Thinking of this, Xing Jue took off his clothes. With a leap, he fell into the huge wooden barrel accompanied by a splash of water.
However, as soon as Execution entered the barrel, the excited expression on his face instantly turned ashen. It was replaced by a ferocious expression. Even his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and roared loudly, "
"Lin Shishi, I hate you!!!!!"
