"What do you think?" Yue Ru asked in return.
"Uh …"
Qi Hongxuan paused, then shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything else.
Yueru was actually thinking about the same thing. If Xiao Lingyu knew that she was here, would she come to visit?
"If he had me in his heart, he wouldn't have been so determined to leave."
Yue Ru's lips curled into a self-mocking smile.
For some reason, Qi Hongxuan treated Yue Ru quite well. Not only did he warn the people in the Qi family's pharmacy not to make things difficult for Yue Ru, but he had even arranged for Yue Ru to stay in her own courtyard.
"For pharmacists like you, when you've just started out, you must have sufficient financial resources to purchase sufficient materials. Only with sufficient materials can you continue to practice and improve. Now that Miss Yue Ru has come to the Qi Family, as long as you do your best, the Qi Family will definitely treat you well. Miss Yue Ru, you'll be able to achieve greater success in the field of alchemy in the future," Qi Hongxuan said to Yue Ru before he left.
Yueru also knew that Qi Hongxuan was right. If she didn't have enough materials to practice, it would be useless no matter how talented she was.
The new valley that the Linggu Valley chose was actually the location of the new mine that Qi Hongxuan had found. The fog that shrouded the valley was also a smokescreen that Qi Hongxuan had set up. Previously, the old village chief had told Xiao Lingyu that Yueru had made a major discovery in the valley. In fact, Yueru had relied on her superior perception to determine that there was a mine under the valley.
However, the Linggu Valley was weak and couldn't occupy the mine. Not long after Yueru discovered that there was a mine under the valley, groups of silver-armored cultivators surrounded the valley.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu and Qi Hongxuan had been traveling together to Kun City. Therefore, Qi Hongxuan had instructed the villagers to send people to protect the mine along the way. At the same time, he had also informed them not to touch the people of Lin Valley Village.
Not long after, the Qi Family transferred people from Kun City over and the villagers in those villages became miners for the Qi Family. The villagers in the Linggu Valley were no exception.
However, the Qi Family didn't let the villagers work for nothing. Every once in a while, the Qi Family would take out a tenth of the profits from the new mines to reward the miners. This way, the villagers would have an additional income, and it was an income of divine stones.
Originally, the villagers in those villages didn't have an income of god's stones. They risked their lives to hunt for food for themselves and the villagers.
Of course, the Qi Family didn't let the main labor force of all the villages go mining. They only transferred a small portion of the villagers from each village. This didn't affect the survival of those villages.
The villages on that route were now the Qi Family's, so the entire route was almost unobstructed. Every time the Qi Family brought the income from the new mine back to Kun City, they could also buy some other things such as monster furs, nascent souls, and other things from the villages along the way. This was a large source of income for the Qi Family.
This time, it could be said that Qi Hongxuan had made a great contribution to Kun City's Qi Family. Because of this, Qi Zhenghao was very happy and put a restaurant under Qi Hongxuan's name. In the past, Qi Hongxuan was just a young master in Kun City's Qi Family.
The villagers in the Linggu Valley could be said to have settled down again. However, after experiencing so many things, the village was no longer the same as before. When the Qi Family found out that Yueru's talent was good and invited her, the old village head advised her to leave. After thinking about it, she followed the Qi Family to Kun City.
In fact, there was a very important reason why Yueru was willing to come to Kun City. That was because Xiao Lingyu was also in Kun City.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu didn't know that Yueru was in Kun City. He went to the primitive forest alone and continued to hunt Heavenly Deity monsters to enrich his wealth.
In Xiao Lingyu's opinion, the price he offered wasn't high enough to move the Wang Family. If he took out a large amount of god's stones at once, the Wang Family might not insist that he didn't have the Fortune Lily.
Even if the Wang Family refused to sell it, or if the Wang Family didn't have it at all, it was still good to have more god's stones in reserve.
Foodie had already digested the dozens of Heavenly Deity monsters that Xiao Lingyu gave it previously. Now that it had truly reached the Heavenly Deity Stage, Xiao Lingyu was very depressed. They both cultivated the Chaotic Energy, but why was there such a huge difference in the difficulty of breaking through?
If it wasn't for his restrictions and letting Foodie develop freely in the primitive forest, it would have easily broken through the Heavenly Deity Stage and reached the Monarch God Stage by now. Of course, it was also possible that Foodie was too reckless and died early.
Foodie's advancement to the Heavenly Deity Stage made it much easier for Xiao Lingyu to hunt Heavenly Deity monsters. Moreover, if it was a one on one battle, there was almost no suspense. As long as a Heavenly Deity monster was targeted by Foodie, it was basically defenseless. It didn't even have the chance to escape.
As a result, although Xiao Lingyu's hunting efficiency had increased by a lot, his days were still extremely dull and boring.
Foodie had reached the Heavenly Deity Stage, and with the four special monsters that Xiao Lingyu had created with the saint artifact, the Yinyang Mirror, even if he encountered a late Heavenly Deity monster, there was a very high chance that he could kill it. At the very least, he didn't have to fear or retreat.
Being able to hunt and kill a large number of mid and late Heavenly Deity monsters was an advantage for Xiao Lingyu to rapidly expand his wealth. He was currently taking advantage of this condition in the forest.
Three years later, Xiao Lingyu felt slightly regretful that he had actually failed to kill a late Heavenly Deity monster. Every time he fought a late Heavenly Deity monster, it would always be able to escape at the last moment.
This made Xiao Lingyu feel extremely depressed. He always had to find an opportunity to vent.
As a result, during this period of time, Xiao Lingyu had always been looking for opportunities. He didn't even hesitate to venture ten thousand miles into the primeval forest.
According to the experience of many hunters, the primeval forest between ten thousand and twenty thousand miles was the territory of late Heavenly Deity monsters. He couldn't go any deeper, or else he might encounter a Divine Monarch monster.
Xiao Lingyu didn't dare to provoke a Divine Monarch monster, so he only wandered around between ten thousand and fifteen thousand miles, looking for a suitable opportunity.
The territory of late Heavenly Deity monsters was very large. Every one of them seemed to have their own territory. It was very rare to see them in groups.
However, in the territory of late Heavenly Deity monsters, there would often be other monsters of the same race and species, but they were relatively weaker.
After Xiao Lingyu searched the forest for a few more days, he finally found a suitable target.
It was a crawling monster in the shape of a turtle. Although its body's defense was very strong, its speed was relatively slow. The reason why Xiao Lingyu chose to attack it was because he didn't want to fight until the end, only to have the target escape when it saw that the situation wasn't right.
Xiao Lingyu felt that the speed of this turtle monster was definitely not as fast as that of a glutton. As long as he seriously injured it, it wouldn't be able to escape.
This turtle monster had the head of a snake and the tail of a crocodile. In the ancient books, it was called the Wyvern Snapping Turtle. It had a little bit of the bloodline of a True Dragon and had a certain chance of evolving into a True Dragon.
Xiao Lingyu first recalled the introduction of this Wyvern Snapping Turtle in the ancient books, then quietly approached it.
When Xiao Lingyu was still three hundred feet away from it, the Tyrannosaurus Crocodile had already glared at him with its pair of big green eyes and let out an angry roar at Xiao Lingyu, as if warning Xiao Lingyu to quickly leave its territory.
Xiao Lingyu didn't move and continued to approach.
The Wyvern Snapping Turtle was really angry. It could feel that although the person's aura was strange, it wasn't very strong, so it didn't hesitate to pounce over.
When it was still two hundred feet away from the person, a magic weapon called the Yin-Yang Mirror floated above the person's head. After this magic weapon appeared, it didn't show much of a strong momentum, but the aura faintly overflowing made it feel a little scared.
As it had the bloodline of a True Dragon, of course, it wouldn't retreat just because the other party took out a magic weapon. It continued to pounce forward, but suddenly four virtual monsters appeared beside the person.
The aura of the four virtual monsters wasn't strong, but they boldly pounced on it.
It didn't slow down and directly rushed out of the encirclement of the four virtual monsters, and its target was very clear. It waved its front claws at the person.
However, another Demonic Beast suddenly appeared beside the person who had just arrived. Then, the Demonic Beast fiercely charged towards the Demonic Beast.
Its front claws didn't manage to land on the incoming person. Even its huge and heavy body was knocked back several feet by the other party's Demonic Beast.
The four virtual monsters surrounded it again and kept biting it. What puzzled it was that these four virtual monsters were clearly virtual, so how could they have a substantial attack? And the monster's cultivation and body were far inferior to it, so how could it knock it back so far?
The foodie and the four virtual monsters cooperated skillfully.
Because the four virtual monsters were not afraid of any attacks, they were able to engage in close combat with the Snapping Dragon Viper Turtle. Although they could not cause any substantial damage to the Snapping Dragon Viper Turtle, they could at least consume its physical strength and energy, and also distract its attention.
Chowhound, on the other hand, made use of his fast reflexes to circle around the opponent and launch sneak attacks. Furthermore, he would retreat immediately after clawing once.
Just like how it usually hunted a monster in the late stage of the Heavenly God Realm, it first surrounded the opponent, then continuously consumed its energy, and looked for an opportunity to kill it in the process.
A pair of silver wings appeared on Xiao Lingyu's back, and he held the Silver Moon Broken Sword in his hand. He turned into a silver light and moved quickly around the Wyvern Snapping Turtle. When the foodie attacked, the Wyvern Snapping Turtle would be distracted to block it, and Xiao Lingyu would attack at this time.
If the Wyvern Snapping Turtle defended against Xiao Lingyu's attack, it would be difficult to avoid being hit by the foodie. If it defended against the foodie's attack, it would be threatened by Xiao Lingyu.
