Quick Wear Beauty

There were more than ten mid-grade spirit stones radiating rich spiritual energy, and about a hundred low-grade spirit stones. The pill bottle was empty, probably because they had all been used up.

There was also a whole bunch of random stuff: clothes, a wooden sword, a futon... even half a cake was there.

Could it be that he was caught by that body cultivator after eating only half of the pancake? Poor kid!

In the cultivation world, killing and robbing are commonplace. Without sufficient strength, one can never be too careful when traveling.

Inside the storage bag was a sect token engraved with "Tianjian Sect Mingye".

Judging from the quality of the token, it was clear that Mingye was not an inner disciple and did not have a powerful master. Otherwise, the body cultivator would have been hesitant to kill him, as Mingye did not have the protection of a powerful soul and would not have known what happened before his death.

She already harbored a natural aversion to the name "Heavenly Sword Sect" because of Lan Yuan's act of cutting out her mermaid pearl.

As for the Longevity Technique, she didn't see it. There were only two basic sword cultivation techniques.

However, she obtained what she had longed for: a palm-sized black token with two ancient seal characters engraved on the front – Boundary Token!

She finally found the key to freely crossing the boundary markers!

Considering that the body cultivator might not be dead, she quickly put the storage bag into her bosom and took one last look at the place where she had lived for three months.

The once tranquil pool is now murky and its banks are charred black, a far cry from its former serenity. This place is no longer safe to stay in.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Guang turned and leaped into the pool, disappearing once again into the crack of the underground river.

After entering the crevice, she sealed the entrance with a wave of her hand. Sand and stones closed the crevice, separating it from the pool.

This time, her goal was clear—the location of the boundary marker.

The current carried her toward the unknown future, her fish tail swaying gently as she nimbly darted through the water.

Just a quarter of an hour after she left, a black figure staggered onto the scorched earth.

The black-clad cultivator clutched his severed left arm, his face grim as he surveyed his surroundings. His gaze lingered for a moment on the scorched earth that had been turned over, and he searched the area thoroughly for a long time.

Finally, he let out an angry roar—he had searched the entire battlefield but could not find the storage bag that should have belonged to him.

"who is it?!"

"Which scoundrel stole my things? Don't let me, Black Shark, ever run into you!"

He roared, his voice echoing through the empty valley, but only eliciting a few crows cawing.

In the end, he could only take one last, unwilling look at the place, clutch his wound, and stagger away into the depths of the dense forest.

Fifteen minutes later, he reappeared, and after confirming that no one was around, he left with a gloomy expression.

……

After swimming for seven days and seven nights, the underground river was several times more turbulent than when they came. Li Guang relaxed her body and let the current push her forward.

She put the storage bag into her spatial dimension, and occasionally she would take out the boundary token to study it during her breaks.

"Qiqi, can you estimate how far we are from the boundary marker?"

"At the current water flow rate, we will reach the vicinity of the boundary marker in three days at most. At that time, with the boundary token, we can directly pass through the boundary marker and exit through the underground river outlet."

Qiqi's voice carried a hint of excitement, "However, that exit connects to a deep pool below Broken Dragon Cliff. The pool water is extremely cold and is inhabited by 'Ice Soul Eels.' Although they are only third-tier demonic beasts, they are still a considerable threat to your current cultivation level."

Li Guang nodded in agreement and continued on her way.

Although the situation inside the underground river is complicated, it saves a lot of time.

In the storage bag of Mingye, a cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect, besides spirit stones and tokens, there was also a basic sword technique annotation and several low-level attack talismans, which were better than nothing for her at the moment.

The spiritual energy in the mortal realm is scarce, so she uses spirit stones directly to cultivate in order to improve her cultivation level.

She kept those dozen or so mid-grade spirit stones for a rainy day.

As for the longevity formula that the body cultivator longed for, who would have thought it was hidden inside that half-cake?

Fortunately, she didn't throw it away immediately.
