"Everyone, go back and get ready. We'll have a day off tomorrow, so everyone can relax!" Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Wang Yueyue simply gave them a day off to rest.

The day passed quickly, but unfortunately they did not live to see Ji Daoyi emerge from seclusion.

"Xiao Hu, you stay here and wait for Dao Yi to come out of the pass. I'll take everyone to scout out the wolf demon's whereabouts first. I'll leave cross-shaped marks along the way, and you can find us by following the marks I leave," Wang Yueyue said to Ji Xiaohu.

"clear."

Ji Daoyi, who was still in the training room, was unaware that Ji Xiaohu had been waiting outside his training room for a day and a night because of his practice of the "Limitless Blade Technique".

During his seclusion, Ji Daoyi not only broke through to the Refining Organs Realm, but also completed the tempering of his liver. Now, he can deliver a punch with a force of nearly 30,000.

He himself did not expect that in just three months his strength would increase more than tenfold, and he would be able to complete the journey that most people take several years to complete.

The Wuji Sword Technique has been refined to include seventy-nine sword imprints, with as many as fifty combinations of sword imprints that can be used.

According to his current calculations, he could add ten more sword seals to the formation, but using sixty sword seals would not only accelerate the consumption of Yuan energy, but also shorten the duration, which did not meet his expectations.

"I didn't expect it to take a whole day to break through the 'Limitless Blade Seal'. It's so late already, so I might as well consolidate my cultivation. Anyway, I'll have to pay points to use this training room next time, so it's a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity."

Ji Daoyi then went into seclusion again.

The powerful aura that he unconsciously emitted was gradually diminishing as his cultivation level improved.

Ji Daoyi finished consolidating his cultivation in the early morning, felt his own aura, and was overjoyed. "A free cultivation room is indeed a pleasant experience. I consolidated my cultivation in one night, and my aura was completely concealed. It's time to come out of seclusion."

As soon as Ji Daoyi stepped out of the cultivation room, he saw Ji Xiaohu, who had been waiting there for a day and a night.

"Little Tiger, wake up!"

"Little Tiger, wake up!"

Ji Daoyi stepped forward and nudged Ji Xiaohu, who was still fast asleep.

Ji Xiaohu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and, upon seeing that the person who woke him up was Ji Daoyi, instantly became more alert.

"Brother Dao, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

"What happened? Why aren't you resting at home? You're sleeping right outside my secluded place."

"Ah~, it was Sister Yueyue who took on the mission for us. The four of them set off early yesterday morning, saying they were going to scout out information about the wolf demon. You're still in seclusion, so they left me behind to inform you."

"What mission is so urgent? And why do you have to wait for me to finish my seclusion so we can go together? Can't Sister Yueyue help out too?"

"....."

"Brother Dao, we've already wasted two days. This matter can't be explained in a short time, let's talk about it on the way." Ji Xiaohu didn't know how to begin.

So the two mounted their horses and galloped towards Yi Village.

Through Ji Xiaohu's brief narration, Ji Daoyi finally understood the specifics of the mission and why Wang Yueyue didn't take action.

noon,

Ji Daoyi and Ji Xiaohu stopped at a restaurant. After traveling non-stop all morning, their horses were exhausted.

"Waiter, feed our horses the best fodder, and the rest is yours." Ji Daoyi took out twenty taels of silver and tossed it to the waiter at the entrance of the restaurant.

The servant took the silver that was tossed to him, his face beaming with smiles. After thanking him profusely, he led the beastman to the backyard.

The two went directly to a table near the lobby on the second floor and sat down. Ji Xiaohu even ordered a table full of food.

"You're still so delicious!" Ji Daoyi couldn't help but shake his head.

"Brother Dao, you don't understand. I call this being close to real life!"

……

At the entrance of the restaurant, there were two children, around six or seven years old, dressed in tattered hemp clothes!

Although they were both filthy, their skin didn't resemble that of homeless beggars, and the little boy, in particular, exuded the air of a wealthy young master.

"Brother, I'm hungry! I want a chicken leg!"

The little girl walked to the entrance of the restaurant and was tempted by the delicious aroma inside.

The little boy looked at his younger sister, then at the restaurant, as if he had made a decision: "Little sister, be good, I'll get you some chicken legs to eat right away. Wait for me outside, don't run around, and don't trust anyone else."

"I understand, brother. I'll wait for you to come back here."

In the restaurant hall,

Sometime during the night, the little boy ran in without being noticed by the servant at the door.

He kept pleading with the diners, "Uncles and aunties, could you give me a chicken leg? I will repay your kindness today in the future."

"Where did this little beggar come from? You! You want to repay me? Get lost!"

Seeing that the person was difficult to talk to, the child switched to another table with chicken legs and continued to ask for food.

"Auntie, could I have a chicken leg?"

"You stinking beggar, who are you calling 'Auntie'?! Waiter, what's wrong with your restaurant? You let this little beggar in? Are you trying to disgust me?" A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes kept cursing, covering her nose with one hand and fanning her face with the other, as if trying to dispel the smell.

"Exactly, do you even want to get paid anymore?!"

The waiter in the restaurant quickly came out to apologize to everyone and pulled the little beggar out.

The little beggar didn't cry or make a fuss as expected; instead, he was sad and frustrated because he hadn't gotten a chicken leg, and his sister's wish to eat a chicken leg couldn't be fulfilled.

Immediately, many people in the restaurant started watching the commotion. Some felt sorry for the situation and wanted to help, but they opened their mouths and didn't make a sound; others watched coldly.

Just as the waiter threw the little boy out of the restaurant, a loud voice rang out.

"Wait!"

Instantly, everyone looked at Ji Daoyi on the second floor; indeed, it was he who had just spoken.

Ignoring the stares of others, Ji Daoyi said to the waiter, "Waiter, bring this child up here."

The waiter looked embarrassed, and the other diners kept making a fuss.

The waiter glanced at the shopkeeper one last time, and only after seeing the shopkeeper nod did he lead the little boy upstairs.

Ji Daoyi looked at the boy, who was only a few years younger than him, and said, "Little brother, do you want a chicken leg?"

The little boy stared intently at Ji Daoyi for a while before saying, "Yes, I only want one chicken leg."

Upon hearing this, Ji Dao laughed and said, "One chicken leg isn't enough, take the whole chicken."

The little boy took the chicken that Ji Daoyi handed him, bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, big brother. You are a good person. I will repay you in the future."

"Little brother, don't be so polite. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Ji family to find me. My name is Ji Daoyi."
