Volume 1 Chapter 21: The Worry-Free Hemostatic Pill

  Qu Yun and others then asked in detail about the beginning and end of Feng Ruo's conflict with Ma Yuan and three others. Feng Ruo also roughly explained, but concealed the fact that he had extorted five Xing Shi stones from Ma Yuan and three others, only mentioning that he had snatched a first-class sword from Liang Shi.

  Because he had just heard the explanation of Qu Yun and others, it seemed that Ma Yuan and the three did not reveal the blackmail, so he didn't need to say it out loud. This wasn't because he was afraid of Chu Tian and those people, but rather to cover up for himself learning the second layer of Qingyun's heart method in secret. He certainly didn't want Ma Yuan and the others to falsely accuse him of stealing the Qingyun's method in a fit of rage!

  At this time, the crowd was excitedly talking for a long time before bidding farewell one after another. Soon, only Qu Yun, Kong Fei, Tang Qing and others were left beside the huge bonfire. These few people were considered to be relatively trustworthy subordinates around Qu Yun.

  At this moment, Feng Ruo took out eighty five-element stones and handed them to Qu Yun, "Brother Qu, these are the five-element stones that were used to buy the White Crane, please take them!"

  "Huh? Where did you get so many Wu Xing stones?" Upon hearing Feng Ruo's words, Qu Yun was taken aback for a moment, but then he immediately understood and asked with an odd expression: "Did you snatch these from Liang Shi's body?"

  "Hey! Alright then!" Feng Ruo smiled and didn't deny it, but this suddenly made Qu Yun and the other five people exclaim in surprise. Because for them, beating up Liang Shi wasn't a big deal, anyone could do it if the conditions were right, but extorting out so many Wu Xing stones was a different story.

  For a moment, everyone's gaze at Feng Ruo became even more unbelievable.

  After a moment, Qu Yun was the first to react, directly pushing back the five-element stone handed over by Feng Ruo, smiling and saying: "Hehe! You can keep these five-element stones for now, anyway I won't be using them anytime soon. In half a month, we'll all go to the Tian Dang Mountain market to buy some items in preparation for next season's hunt. Feng Ruo, you don't even have a defensive suit right now, so just use these five-element stones to buy a Xue Can suit instead. You know, this time we're going deep into the 72 Peak Abyssal Land, and the danger level there is not something that can be compared to the East Peak!"

  "Seventy-two Peak's Abdomen Land?" Upon hearing Qu Yun's words, Feng Ru involuntarily took a deep breath. The danger of that place he had heard of before, it was said that even fifth-grade spiritual beasts would appear, and if they encountered one, it would definitely be a disastrous defeat. What was wrong with Qu Yun? Didn't he want to live anymore?

  Upon seeing Feng Ruo's expression, Feng Ruo smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, we're not going to send ourselves to death! In fact, this time Ning Yuan Shixiong hired us, and there are two other hunting teams with us. Our task is not to hunt spirit beasts, but to collect some rare spirit grasses. The time won't exceed ten days, and the reward is one Blood-Stopping Dan per person!"

  "Stop bleeding pellets! One for each person!" Feng Ruo also couldn't help but exclaim at this time, no wonder Qu Yun and the others agreed, this reward is indeed a bit too generous, because the price of one stop bleeding pellet is thirty five-element stones. In the past, Qu Yun and the others hunted for an entire season, and each person may not have earned thirty five-element stones, but now they can get it in just ten days!

  "Alright! Then everything will be arranged by Brother Qu.!" Feng Ruo thought for a moment, and didn't decline excessively, casually putting away the eighty five-element stones. Since they were going on an adventure, it was natural to make preparations.

  "Oh, right, Fang Ruo, you don't have to stay here tonight. Why not come with us to live inside the mountain gate? I'm worried that Chu Tian and the others won't let you off easily!" Qu Yun said with some concern.

  "Not bad! If you're going to stay with me for this period of time, I'd love to see what kind of skills you have to take down the Liang clan!" Kong Fei exclaimed with great joy at this moment.

  "Hehe! Never mind, I have a place to hide, I guarantee that Chu Tian and the others won't find me. Half a month later, I'll come back to look for you!" Feng Ru directly declined, how could he trouble Qu Yun Kong Fei and the others? Moreover, with only two months left before the start of the next hunting season, he naturally had to prepare well."

  Seeing Feng Ru like this insisting, Qu Yun and others had no choice but to give up, chatted a few more words, and then dispersed.

  As soon as the figures of Qu Yun and others disappeared, Feng Ruo extinguished the fire and then took advantage of the darkness to head towards the East Peak. Now that Chu Tian and those people had hit a snag at the Tianji Institute, they naturally didn't dare to pursue him openly again, so he could quietly hide in the space where Muling Stone was located and cultivate with peace of mind.

  Although two months is a relatively short period of time, if it were someone else, the effect would not be too obvious, but with the help of the Muling Stone, the gain will definitely be greater!

  Of course, apart from cultivating, Feng Ruo also had to think of ways to refine more Huo Luo San and Zhi Xue San for himself. After all, the seventy-two peaks' belly was too dangerous, who knew what situation would arise, it's better to be prepared.

  As it was in the dark of night, Fang Ruo didn't dare to venture too deep into Dong Feng's territory even if he was very familiar with it. He just casually found a hidden location at the edge of Dong Feng and slowly waited there.

  In this case, he didn't dare to meditate or sleep soundly, because he didn't know those mysterious restrictive spells and all that. If some poisonous insects crawled in, he would be done for.

  Fortunately, Feng Ruoxin's current cultivation has greatly increased her magical powers, so even if she doesn't sleep or rest for several days in a row, it won't have any effect on her.

  However, this method is only effective on the East Peak where the danger is extremely small. If you spend the night in other places, such as the valleys and gullies of various peaks, or the belly of the 72 peaks, you must use seals or arrays to defend against them.

  At this point, Feng Ruo is obviously no match for Qu Yun's three-generation disciples, because from the beginning of their apprenticeship, everything they have learned has been very systematic. In addition to the essential Qingyun Jue, they also need to master basic alchemy, basic talisman-making, basic artifact-refining, basic seal-formation, and basic beast-taming techniques.

  So, don't look at the current gap between Feng Ru and those third-generation disciples of Qingyun Sect, which is not very large, and even in some aspects, it's still superior. However, as time passes, when those third-generation disciples enter the foundation-building period and start practicing swordsmanship, this gap will become larger and larger, until Feng Ru can never catch up!

  Unfortunately, Feng Ruo was very aware of this trend, but he was powerless to change it, because he couldn't join the Qingyun Sect at all! Not to mention joining other immortal cultivation sects!

  "Hey! Forget it, let's just take things one step at a time! I probably won't even be able to break through the foundation-building stage in this lifetime, what's the point of thinking so much!"
