Liu Li was the daughter of a blacksmith on Ironwood Island. Her family was not well off and she had suffered a lot since she was young. She yearned for a life of luxury.
When Liu Li was sixteen, she had already grown into a beautiful woman. There was an endless stream of people who came to ask for her hand in marriage. Among them, there was no lack of rich and powerful people, but they were all rejected by Father Liu.
In Liu Li's eyes, only cultivators were worthy of her. Those ordinary people were not her best partners. Father Liu also hoped that his daughter would marry a cultivator to change the fate of the entire family.
Liu Li's luck was not bad. When she was twenty years old, she went out and met a foundational cultivator. She became his concubine.
By chance, the foundational cultivator discovered that Liu Li had spiritual roots and could also cultivate.
Just like that, Liu Li embarked on the path to immortality and became an immortal cultivator.
Although her talent was not good, her husband was a foundational cultivator and gave her a lot of help.
Unfortunately, good things did not last long. When she reached the seventh level of qi refining, her husband died in an accident.
Because of this, Liu Li's cultivation speed slowed down. Luckily, she was quite pretty and soon, she found another foundational cultivator and became his cultivation partner.
When she reached the tenth layer of the Aura Refining realm, her Dao companion met with an accident, and the rumor of Liu Li killing her husband spread like wildfire. Even so, a Foundation Establishment cultivator refused to believe it and became Liu Li's Dao companion.
Not long after, this foundational cultivator was attacked when he went out and died. Because of this, the rumor that Liu Li killed her husband was confirmed.
Helpless, Liu Li could only go to other islands to make a living.
She did not know any skills and had to maintain her cultivation. Not long after, all the spiritual stones on her were used up. She could not even afford to pay for her room. Mortals did not need spiritual stones, but she did not want to live where mortals lived.
Because of this, she could only hunt monsters and hope to earn some spiritual stones to maintain her cultivation. With her cultivation level of qi refining, it was not suitable for her to go to the outer seas. She could only stay in the inner seas and hunt low-level monsters with others.
On this day, Liu Li's hunting team set out early. The leader, a tall and skinny man, took out a white flying boat and carried his five companions to the horizon.
Six hours later, the white flying boat was flying quickly over a desolate sea area.
"Did you hear? The Yuanying cultivator with the most potential from the Immaculate Island was killed before the Dual Cultivation Ceremony. The lanky man said with a smile.
"Hehe, Chen Daoyou, who in the entire Sea of Stars doesn't know about this? The Immaculate Island is offering a reward of five million Spirit Stones for capturing the culprit. Five million Spirit Stones, tsk tsk, if I get it, I won't be able to spend it all even in ten lifetimes, "a round-faced man chuckled and said in an envious tone.
"Hehe, the culprits are Yuanying cultivators. If they want to crush Qi Condensation cultivators like us, it would be a piece of cake for them. Fellow Daoist Li, you should stop daydreaming," a dark-skinned man with a ruddy complexion chuckled.
The round-faced man shook his head and said excitedly, "With our abilities, of course we're no match for the culprit. However, if we find the culprit and inform the Immaculate Island, we'll be rewarded handsomely."
"Find the culprit's whereabouts? Fellow Daoist Li, you must be joking. Not to mention how far our Red Leaf Island is from the Immaculate Island, even if the culprit did escape to this part of the sea, we'd most likely be dead by the time we see them. How would we have the opportunity to inform the Immaculate Island? "The dark-skinned man chuckled and slowly said.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao is right. Although the handsomely offered reward is tempting, we need to be alive to spend it. Let's discuss our next course of action. The location of the deserted island we're heading to is rather remote. Is there really a Third Class Demonic Beast there? "Liu Li nodded her head as she changed her tone and asked with some doubt.
"Fairy Liu can rest assured. The information is absolutely reliable. The Hundred Dawn Pavilion specializes in selling information on demon beasts. The information they sell is definitely accurate." A tall middle-aged man patted his chest and promised.
"This is the first time we've hunted a third grade demon beast. Although we have the assistance of a spell formation, we have too few people. Later on, we have to work harder and don't let that third grade demon beast escape. We spent several hundred spirit stones just to buy this information." The tall and thin man's expression became serious and he instructed.
Hearing this, the other five people agreed one after another.
Suddenly, a strange cry came from the distant horizon. Several dozen black dots appeared in the distant horizon and quickly flew towards them.
"Not good. We've encountered demon beasts." The tall and thin man's expression changed. He made a hand seal with one hand and struck the white flying boat under his feet with several spell seals.
The white flying boat suddenly emitted a white light and turned into a streak of white light. It flew in a certain direction with the several dozen black dots following closely behind.
The six people took turns to control the white flying boat and made it fly quickly. However, they were unable to shake off the demon beasts behind them.
After an hour, Liu Li controlled the white flying boat to fly quickly. The several dozen black dots were a thousand feet behind the white flying boat. The distance between the two sides was constantly shrinking and they could clearly see the true appearance of the demon beasts.
The several dozen black dots were strange black birds that were ten feet in size. They had bald heads and sharp beaks and claws. They looked fierce and ugly.
"There's a small island in front. Let's speed up and take shelter on the island." The tall and thin man's eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to a rectangular island that was more than a hundred miles in size and said.
Liu Li nodded and poured the magic power in her body into the white flying boat.
The white flying boat shone brightly and its speed increased by more than half.
Not long after, the white flying boat landed in a valley in the center of the small island.
A series of strange cries rang out, and dozens of bald strange birds circled around, quickly pouncing towards them.
"There's a cave in front. Let's go in quickly." The tall and thin man's expression changed and he pointed to a cave not far away and said.
Liu Li's face lit up with joy. A green light flashed under her feet and she quickly rushed towards the cave.
Her speed was very fast and she rushed into the cave in a few flashes.
Seeing this, the other people also ran towards the cave.
The dozens of bald birds let out a burst of strange cries as they flapped their wings, each releasing several grey wind blades that shot toward the people below.
A young scholar was hit by several grey wind blades with a miserable scream. The defense on his body was broken in a moment. His whole body was chopped into several pieces and fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, everyone's complexion changed drastically and they rushed into the depths of the cave.
The entrance of the cave was not big enough to accommodate the bald birds. They hovered over the cave for a while and then flew away.
