After the secondary occupation reached the maximum level, I wore it

Shi Yu's steps were light and swift, and his figure was like a nimble swift, stepping on the air, constantly shuttling through the dense forest.

In the mountains, many spiritual beasts hide during the day and come out at night, so the night is more dangerous than the day.

She felt that there were several animal-like gazes fixed on her from all directions, so she concentrated more and sped up.

Holding the Zanghen Di tightly in her hand, Shi Yu was ready to fight at any time. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, she did not want to conflict with those spirit beasts hiding in the dark, so as to avoid making too much noise.

Fortunately, the journey was rare and peaceful. Until she reached the edge of the poisonous swamp, no spirit beasts attacked her.

Looking at the poisonous swamp in front of him that was constantly grumbling and carrying a strong stench, Shi Yu took out a top-grade Condensed Dew Pill and swallowed it, calming his slightly disordered internal breath: "We must hurry up."

Although she used the Little Swallow Step to hurry here at full speed, it still took her half a quarter of an hour. It would take the same amount of time to go back. If she delayed for too long, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

I saw two or three pale ferocious birds flying between the dead branches. The withered yellow tree trunks were floating on the muddy juice and rotten mud. From time to time, a strange and deep surging sound could be heard from the bottom mud and rocks of the entire poisonous swamp.

The insects and snakes that emerged during the day summoned by the poisonous clams are probably only a small part of the entire swamp.

Shi Yu did not dare to relax. She injected her spiritual power into the Fire Feather Brocade Dress. Under the outer garment, a faint red light flashed on the surface of the Fire Feather Brocade Dress, and a light-colored protective shield covered her skin.

She raised the Hidden Hatred Flute, alert to the poisonous creatures that might jump out from the mud and attack at any time, and once again used the Little Swallow Step to fly towards the Dragon Bamboo Grass.

Under the night sky, the filthy swamp concealed some of its ugliness. In the moonlight, her running figure and the dead grass and trees swaying in the breeze formed a slightly weird but magnificent picture.

When the distance to the dragon bamboo grass was shortened to half, those poisonous creatures hiding in the dark finally couldn't hold back anymore, and they launched attacks towards Shi Yu one after another, hissing and buzzing their wings.

Shi Yu dodged the attack by tapping his toes on the dead trees and grass to gain leverage. He then turned his wrist, placed the Hate Flute to his lips, and began to play "Not Thinking of Returning".

The spiritual consciousness spread, and silent sound waves dissipated, and the surging snakes, insects, and poisonous creatures suddenly stopped.

These poisonous snakes, insects and creatures had low cultivation levels, and only relied on their large numbers to force people to deal with them carefully. However, Shi Yu's spiritual awareness far exceeded that of cultivators of the same level, so he naturally crushed them. Bu Sigui used his range attack, which was more effective than throwing talismans.

Seeing these little things rolling and struggling, Shi Yu didn't want to fight with them. He kept walking, continuing to block the poison with Bu Sigui while getting closer to the Dragon Bamboo Grass.

Finally, she flashed and arrived on the huge rock where the dragon bamboo grass grew.

The boulder had been corroded by the poisonous swamp and had become loose in texture. When Shi Yu stepped on it, mud and sand fell down, and there were also some cracking sounds under his feet.

"I've consumed too much spiritual energy." He pushed the Little Swallow Step at full speed. The limited spiritual energy in his body couldn't sustain such long-term consumption, and a feeling of emptiness came through his meridians.

She stood firmly on the boulder, her chest heaving and her breathing rapid, trying her best to accelerate the refining of the Dew Condensing Pill in her body.

Feeling the strands of spiritual energy from the Dew Condensation Pill replenishing his meridians, Shi Yu calmed himself and stared closely at the spiritual plant on the boulder that was emitting a faint green glow.

After the fruit is picked, its appearance becomes more like a green bamboo, with dragon and snake-like patterns growing on the bamboo joints.

At the end of these lines are some red terminal buds that seem to appear and disappear. In the future, new fruits will grow from these terminal buds.

She wasted no time and immediately took out a jade shovel, feeling the faint veins of the dragon bamboo grass' roots in the boulder, and tried her best to dig out the entire root without damaging the root.

The jade shovel was used to scoop up the grass skillfully. In just a few strokes, the lush and green dragon bamboo grass fell into his hands intact.

Finally got it.

Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face.

With the dragon bamboo grass in hand, when the fruit grows again and matures, her cultivation level will be able to advance at least one level.

Although Xie Cheng praised her for having reached the third level of Qi Refining at such a young age, Shi Yu knew that his words were mostly politeness.

The third level of Qi Refining is perhaps considered quite good considering her age among the independent cultivators in the small market town of Yuxu Sect.

But what about when we get to the capital city of Lingtai Prefecture?

There are seventy-nine prefectures in Changyuan County. What is the significance of Lingtai Prefecture among them?

Going further up, Changyuan County is just a corner of Dongzhou.

Shi Yu sighed slowly. Here, once you have established your foundation, you can be called a real person. You can become an elder of a sect or the head of a noble family, and you have a very high status.

But she remembered that after Xuanqing Immortal Venerable accepted her as a disciple and brought her back to the sect, several of her senior brothers and sisters were all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and her senior sister Yan Xiao was even more...

Shi Yu tightly grasped the flute to hide his hatred and looked back along the road he had come from.

Those poisonous creatures affected by Bu Xianggui have gradually become sober and agitated.

The five continents of the Metaverse are so vast, and there are so many talented people. She is still so far behind, and must work hard to catch up without relaxing for a moment.

"It's getting late, let's go back and plant some more in the medicinal field."

After putting the dragon bamboo grass into the life-knocking bell, Shi Yu played "Not Thinking of Returning" again and moved out of the poisonous swamp using the Little Swallow Step.

After leaving the poisonous swamp, she used her hand gestures to mobilize her spiritual power to dispel the smell on her body, and without delay, she continued to rush back.

She didn't know yet that Xie Cheng was planning to leave the mountains tomorrow.

This place is still more than two hundred miles away from the volcano. The further you go in, the more dangerous it becomes. Shi Yu still wants to take advantage of the team's convenience and rush in as much as possible.

The journey was relatively smooth, but when she was about to reach the place where everyone was resting, she suddenly stopped.

Frowning, Shi Yu sniffed slightly: "Not right."

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, coming from where everyone was resting.

She carefully hid herself behind the dense trees in the forest and asked, "Did Xie Cheng and the others encounter a spiritual beast attack?"

I listened carefully, but there was no obvious sound of any animal.

"If it was a spiritual beast attacking, the noise wouldn't be so small."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yu took advantage of the night and the shadows of the trees and approached carefully.

When she heard the loud laughter, she immediately stopped and followed the thick old tree.

"Although the Sealing Spirit Bee is a useful gadget, it can only work on cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining. Your cultivation level is as high as the eighth level of Qi Refining, so this thing is naturally useless to you."

Shi Yu recognized that it was Wu Hao's voice.

She had never heard of the Soul-Sealing Bee, but judging from the name, it was not difficult to guess that its purpose was to seal the spiritual power of a cultivator.

The eighth level of Qi Refining... Xie Cheng is the only one in the team.

She frowned, knowing what had happened during the time she was away.

Turning his head slightly to look, he saw that except for the three brothers Wu Hao, everyone else was either sitting or lying down. They all had ugly looks on their faces. They tried to summon spiritual power but to no avail. It seemed that they were affected by the Sealing Spirit Bee.

Xie Cheng fell to the ground with a purple face, his meridians bulging under his skin, looking very scary. Xie Zhixun was beside him, holding his arm, his eyelashes wet.

According to Wu Hao's words, the Sealing Spirit Bee is useless to Xie Cheng, so the way he looks now must have been the result of some other trick.

Sure enough, Wu Hao continued:

"You two, master and servant, are so ostentatious. You scatter spiritual stones like water without any care. You eat spiritual rice and vegetables, and use the finest elixirs and magical instruments. You hired guards like me to go on this trip, but you just accompany this fool on an outing. Humph! You really humiliate us. How can I not hate you?"

Xie Cheng covered his chest, coughed up black blood, and sneered: "You just want to steal my property, why bother saying these nonsense."

Wu Hao laughed loudly, his eyes gloating with pride: "Yes, the three of us did have our eyes on your property, but with your cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, how dare we take action?"

"But who asked that little burden beside you to lead everyone to the poisonous swamp? You were poisoned by the clam."

"We happen to have a poison pill in our hands. If it is activated, the toxin will be low, but if it is combined with the poison of the poisonous clam...hahahaha!"
