In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

Half a day later, Di Qingci finally saw the Spirit-eared Rabbit eating grass.

Di Qingci stepped forward gently and put away the Shura Sword.

Using one of his mid-grade magic weapons, he secretly gathered sword energy and, taking advantage of the Spirit-Eared Rabbit's inattention, unleashed it instantly.

Several sword strikes slashed through the Spirit-Eared Rabbit's body; it twitched a few times and died.

Di Qingci casually put it away, but suddenly a faint sound caught her attention.

Di Qingci's eyes swept around, and a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old appeared.

Upon seeing Di Qingci, he smiled broadly: "Fellow Daoist, you're also here for training. My name is Chu Yanfeng, a disciple of the Aoshi Sword Sect. You are too?"

Di Qingci looked at his robes and realized he was a true disciple.

Di Qingci simply nodded casually, then turned and headed in another direction. To accept the task of finding ten spirit-eared rabbits, he still needed to find the rabbits.

Chu Yanfeng followed behind with a cheerful smile, showing no intention of undergoing any training on his own.

Di Qingci glanced back at him: "Fellow Daoist, what are you doing following me?"

Chu Yan said in a serious tone, "Fellow Daoist, I feel safe with you, and I want to follow you."

Di Qingci's lips twitched a few times. A grown man talking to a little girl about a sense of security.

Emperor Qingci felt that this person was suspicious; his unsolicited kindness suggested that he was either a scoundrel or a thief.

Chu Yanfeng wasn't angry. He followed Di Qingci wherever he went, and was very happy the whole way.

Di Qingci saw several spirit-eared rabbits walking slowly across the grass ahead.

Di Qingci put away his magical artifact, formed a hand seal, and countless vines surged out from the ground.

Like a swarm of snakes, they darted swiftly across the grass, entangling several nimble-eared rabbits from all sides.

The clever-eared rabbit was entangled and kept squeaking and struggling.

Di Qingci stepped forward and put away the several spirit-eared rabbits.

With so many rabbits, let's find their burrows while we're at it.

Upon spotting a cave entrance large enough for a person to pass through in the distance, Di Qingci flashed and appeared at the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.

After a moment's thought, Di Qingci moved and instantly entered the cave, which was about the size of a human dwelling.

A dozen or so smart rabbits were either resting or breeding.

These rabbits were not aggressive, so Di Qingci put them all into his storage bag.

After checking the burrow and finding nothing of value, he turned and left the rabbit hole.

Chu Yanfeng was still outside: "Fellow Daoist, you've come out."

Di Qingci nodded slightly, then walked forward; he still needed to find the Spirit Shadow Deer.

Two hours had passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing had been found.

We have to go further in. People often train on the outer perimeter, but there's nothing of value there.

The weaker of the monsters were all hunted down and killed.

Not long after we went in, several spirit deer appeared, and there were a few people in the distance.

A girl, about 15 years old, heard a voice in her mind: "Host, these two people have good luck, both are red, and can be plundered."

When favorability reaches 10, one can plunder luck; when favorability reaches 60, one can plunder all luck.

Di Qingci glanced casually at the group, then immediately focused on the several spirit shadow deer around him.

A boy who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old immediately stopped him: "This is where we found it first. Go look somewhere else."

Di Qingci glanced at the people beside him. They had indeed arrived first. It wasn't like there weren't any Spirit Shadow Deer left in the Misty Forest. He turned and left.

The girl's laughter was clear and crisp, her voice still carrying a touch of childish innocence.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait. Since you've seen them, let's hunt them together. There are many demonic beasts here, they can be seen everywhere, no need to pay attention to them."

The boy's eyes widened. That's not what she said before!

The girl stepped forward with a smile, very friendly: "Fellow Daoist, I am Su Ningyan, a disciple of the Qingyue Divine Sect."

These are my fellow disciples. You are disciples of the Proud Sword Sect, right?

Upon seeing this person, Chu Yanfeng subtly pulled Di Qingci behind him.

"Fellow Daoist, you've said something. Let's hurry up and get started. The Spirit Shadow Deer has already run away and will be far away soon."

Di Qingci looked at the spirit deer that had run away, since they didn't mind.

Di Qingci darted away, brandishing his longsword. Countless sword strikes erupted with dazzling light, instantly hitting several nearby spirit deer.

The others then took action, their spells flying, and several spirit deer were brought to the ground.

Di Qingci put away the few animals he had hunted.

Su Ningyan's smile was infectious: "Fellow Daoist, what shall we call each other? It's fate that we met, and we seem to be around the same age. How about we address each other as sisters?"

Chu Yanfeng immediately interrupted, "Junior sister, look what that is! Let's go take a look!" He grabbed Di Qingci and ran off.

A flash of killing intent crossed Su Ningyan's eyes, but it vanished in an instant: "System, how much favorability do you have?"

The plundering system seemed to malfunction, and after a long pause, it finally said: "The woman's favorability is zero. The man's favorability is -30."

Su Ningyan asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Negative 30? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

This is the first time I've met them. Is that guy out of his mind?

The system didn't know what was going on either: "Look how nervous that male cultivator is with the female cultivator. Is he afraid you'll steal her away from him?"

Su Ningyan rolled her eyes inwardly: "Why would I steal a woman? I think this guy is crazy."

After they had walked a distance, Di Qingci asked, "What's going on? You seem to know them?"

Chu Yanfeng chuckled and said, "I just felt that she had ill intentions. It seemed like she was deliberately getting close to people, and she didn't seem to have any good intentions."

It's always best to be careful when we're out and about.

Di Qingci naturally understood the importance of being wary of others, especially in the world of cultivation, where you never know what secret techniques someone might possess.

Is it harmful to you? "Then what are you doing following me?"

Chu Yanfeng scratched his head: "Anyway, I won't hurt you."

He only wanted to repay Di Qingci for saving his life, but she didn't recognize him in this life.

In his past life, Su Ningyan was a ruthless woman, and none of those who were on good terms with her ended up well. That's why he made Di Qingci stay away from her.

Although Su Ningyan followed Di Qingci for a long time in her previous life, it seems she didn't gain anything.

Di Qingci looked up at the sky and said, "I still need to hunt water ripple fish, you don't need to come with me."

Chu Yanfeng thought of the cave that would be opened tomorrow, where the treasures from his previous life had been obtained by Di Qingci.

However, she was surrounded and attacked, and he planned to repay her for saving his life this time.

"I'll go with you to find the water ripple fish. I know where they are. Hurry, let's not waste any time."

Di Qingci nodded: "Then let's go quickly."

Chu Yanfeng led the way, his gait was distinctive and his speed was very fast.

Di Qingci was not to be outdone, and the two soon arrived at a river.

Chu Yanfeng stood by the river: "There are water bream in here. The fish meat is tender and delicious."

Many people like it, so they often come to hunt it.

Di Qingci stared at the river for a few seconds, then took out a bottle of elixirs, crushed them into powder, and threw them into the river.

Before long, the fish appeared in dense numbers, and only their heads could be seen.

Di Qingci formed a hand seal, and a net of spiritual energy swept towards the fish in the river, instantly scooping up a net full of rippled fish.
