Chapter 29

Yu Zhao: Tell me to avoid his sharp edge?

After an incense stick has burned,

The two women approached the site of the battle silently, hiding behind a huge tree and peering out.

About a kilometer ahead, there is a lake, and two groups of people are fighting on the shore. It seems that they are fighting over a bamboo-shaped spiritual herb in the center of the lake that emits an icy blue light.

Yu Zhao carefully sensed the cultivation levels of the two groups of people. Hmm, there were no Foundation Establishment ancestors, they were all Qi Refining cultivators.

She was considering whether to get involved. She didn't really want the elixir because even if she got it, she wouldn't be able to keep it after taking it out of the ruins.

But she was unwilling to give up, so she thought about whether she could find a place in the ruins to cultivate in seclusion and refine the spiritual herb directly.

However, if she really did that, neither of the two groups would survive, so she had to make sure she could kill both of them.

Otherwise, if this matter gets out, she will inevitably be hunted down by powerful figures once she leaves the ruins. The spiritual herbs and rare treasures must be handed over; that's the rule.

The powerful might not care about a single medicinal herb, but they will certainly care about the rules.

If I bypass the powerful beings and refine the elixir into a pill, I will be breaking the rules and challenging their authority, which will surely lead to my being hunted down.

Thinking about this, Yu Zhao actually decided to give up. The risk and the reward were not proportional, so there was no need to gamble.

She asked Shen Yunshu, "Junior Sister, what kind of spiritual herb is that in the center of the lake? Is it precious?"

At this moment, Shen Yunshu was distracted and did not hear Yu Zhao's words clearly. She was filled with astonishment, astonished by the range of Yu Zhao's divine sense.

Yu Zhao had mentioned earlier that there were people fighting here. They walked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to get here. Although they didn't walk very fast, they didn't deliberately slow down.

Judging from their pace, this place was at least twenty miles away from them at that time. In other words, her senior sister had already detected this place with her divine sense from more than twenty miles away.

Is this the kind of divine sense that a Qi Refining Realm cultivator can possess? Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't compare.

As far as she knew, the range of divine sense probing for Foundation Establishment cultivators who did not deliberately cultivate their divine sense was far lower than that of her senior sister.

Just what kind of monster is my senior sister?

"Junior sister, junior sister?"

Seeing that the little green tea was lost in thought, Yu Zhao called out twice more. Only then did Shen Yunshu come back to her senses and realize that her senior sister was looking at her with a probing gaze. She decisively explained:

"I was so surprised by Senior Sister's powerful spiritual sense that I was distracted and didn't quite hear what you said."

"I'm asking if you recognize that medicinal herb over there."

Yu Zhao helplessly pointed in the direction of the lake, thinking to herself, "Surprised by the strength of divine sense? What's so surprising about that? This little green tea is just making a fuss over nothing."

Yu Zhao never felt that her divine sense was anything to be proud of, because she had seen even more monstrous geniuses.

When she was a junior disciple at Qingfeng Temple, her senior brother, who was concerned about the country and its people, had an exceptionally strong spiritual sense. He was also the only one among that group of disciples who, despite having problems with his cultivation technique, was able to fight Qingfeng Laodeng with his spiritual sense.

This shows just how exceptionally talented that person was. If it weren't for Old Deng's deep scheming, that senior brother would have almost turned the tables and killed him.

From then on, Lao Deng became exceptionally cautious, making it extremely difficult for Yu Zhao and his disciples to carry out their mission of killing their master.

Recalling the past, Yu Zhao raised his hand to rub his temples, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and continued to stare at the battle in the distance.

Shen Yunshu noticed a momentary fluctuation in her senior sister's mind just now. She didn't know what her senior sister was thinking, and didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, her senior sister had been acting strangely for a long time.

She carefully observed the medicinal herb in the center of the lake, and then answered Yu Zhao's question.

"That's Jade Spirit Bamboo, an ingredient used in refining Foundation Establishment Pills."

As the name suggests, the Foundation Establishment Pill can help Qi Refining cultivators break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. Not all Qi Refining cultivators have the ability to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm through their own cultivation.

Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Pill was developed. Taking it during the foundation establishment process can increase the success rate of foundation establishment by 80%.

This seems to give Qi Refining cultivators hope, but the problem is that Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely expensive. Spiritual herbs are expensive, and Foundation Establishment Pills, which gather the essence of many spiritual herbs, are naturally also expensive.

In today's cultivation world, alchemists are the undisputed wealthy masters. However, the method of alchemy is not something that can be learned at will. Each sect keeps the method of alchemy very secret, and alchemists are highly sought after by the sects.

Although Shen Yunshu could recognize the spiritual herb, she did not know how to refine pills, so she was not very interested in it.

When Yu Zhao heard that it was a spiritual medicine used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, she completely lost interest; she looked down on the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Just as the two women were about to retreat, the battle situation on the other side suddenly changed. A young man was knocked onto their side.

The young man glanced at the two women, then swung a sword beam at them as if swatting flies.

Then he walked away, just like a child who, out of curiosity, kicks a cat or dog on the street.

They didn't care whether the kittens or puppies would survive the slap.

Yu Zhao was stunned. After shattering the sword light, she watched as the person flew into the battle and joined in.

After a moment, Yu Zhao's eyes turned cold, and she was about to go over when Shen Yunshu, quick as a flash, grabbed Yu Zhao's hand.

"Senior sister, please calm down. There's no need to argue with them. We don't plan to take that spiritual medicine anyway, so there's no need to get involved in this mess. Let's let them off the hook for now."

Shen Yunshu knew her senior sister well. If her senior sister took action, she would definitely eliminate all the threat, and none of the twenty-odd people over there would survive.

Senior Sister didn't recognize the insignia on those people's clothes, but she did recognize that both groups were disciples of powerful forces in the Northern Region. It wasn't worth getting into trouble over such a trivial matter.

Moreover, who knows if any of these two groups are descendants of elders, Golden Core cultivators, or Nascent Soul experts? If we attack them, what if they possess some strange and unusual magical treasures that would leave no trace even after we kill them?

The Falling Moon Sect is weak and may not be able to protect them.

As for Elder Qingxuan's words about taking action against anyone who bullies them, just listen to them and let it go.

Shen Yunshu's concerns were valid, but Yu Zhao's fiery temper wouldn't tolerate it. "A few Qi Refining cultivators and I have to avoid their sharp edge? Then what the hell is the point of my cultivation as an immortal?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhao summoned a flying sword and charged into the battle. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Shen Yunshu shook her head helplessly and then revealed her bronze mirror magic weapon, following closely behind.

Since we can't stop our senior sister, let's join in the killing. She's right, we're all Qi Refining cultivators, who's afraid of whom?

Damn it!
