At the end of the day's journey and after eating, Su Qing walked into the tent to rest.

He took out a piece of talisman and patted it on his body. The clothes stained with a lot of dust and grass clippings instantly became as clean as new.

"It's a pity that I can't take a bath!"

Su Qing sighed inwardly.

She hasn't had a shower for a long time since she started traveling.

She reached for the storage bag at her waist and wanted to take out the bedding inside, but she was suddenly startled.

She didn't know when a storage bag appeared on her waist.

Taking off the storage bag, she quickly cast a light spell and looked over carefully.

This sight was even more incredible, and it frightened her to the core.

This storage bag actually belongs to Xiao Yi!

She and Xiao Yi have known each other for a long time, but like Xu Mu, it is just a simple client relationship.

Later, she heard that the Soul Refining Sect was coming, but the Chi family was unwilling to take her, and the Song family was unable to protect themselves, so she took the initiative to find Xiao Yi.

After knowing each other for so long, she naturally knew Xiao Yi's storage bag.

There is a red flower embroidery on it.

"Isn't Xiao Yi already dead? Why is his storage bag here with me? Could it be that it was sent by Xie Chong?"

Su Qing's eyes flickered. She was a little scared and wanted to throw it away, but she was curious and wanted to see what was inside.

If it was really Xiao Yi's storage bag, then she would have given it away!

"Just take a look! If there's nothing there, throw it away!"

Su Qing thought secretly.

There was no mark on the storage bag, so she refined it easily.

Open it and take a look.

There are no magic weapons or spiritual stones as imagined, only a secret book and a black jade token.

"The Heaven-Mending Technique? Isn't this the skill practiced by Xiao Yi? What does it mean?"

She felt that this was not given by Xiao Yi, but probably by someone else, most likely someone who knew her.

After she read the secret book, she was even more convinced of this.

"You want to help me but don't want to reveal your identity? Who could it be?"

Su Qing suddenly felt a little excited.

She was originally confused about the way forward, but now that she knew there was a master secretly protecting her, she immediately became confident.

"The one who can kill Xiao Yi is at least in the late stage of Qi training. Let's test it with the late Qi training people in the team tomorrow!"

"No, when Xiao Yi's accident happened, the rest of the team were all together in the late stage of Qi training. It shouldn't be them, it's probably people from several other teams!"

"No matter what, at worst I'll give it a try. As long as he has the heart to protect me, it shouldn't be difficult to find him!"

Then she picked up the Tian Mending Technique and began to study it, preparing to modify the technique.

She has almost reached the extreme level of practicing the Cauldron Furnace Technique, and if she doesn't modify it, it will be too late.

As for the part of collecting qi, she didn't pay much attention to it because she heard Xiao Yi say that before the technique has been practiced to a high level, hastily collecting qi will cause the breath in the body to be impure, which is harmful and useless.

Moreover, the object to collect Qi must not have leaked Yang Qi and must be pure. It cannot be used by just anyone.

Even if you want to collect gas, you have to prepare for a long time in advance.

…

late at night!

There are dark clouds overhead, thunder is rolling, raindrops like beads are falling continuously, and the leaves are making a rustling sound.

Xu Mu and his group of more than 20 people, who were blessed with rain-proof skills, followed two late-stage Qi practitioners and patrolled around the camp.

"There is a monster!"

A flash of green light suddenly appeared in the darkness, and Lu Zhen, who was in charge of leading the team, immediately reminded him.

Xu Mu immediately used the magic technique and released a cyan wind blade, which shot towards the location of the green light. Three other people released it with him.

Roar!

A low roar came from the forest, and a black shadow dodged the attack and ran toward them at high speed.

"Beast! Looking for death!"

Lu Zhen flicked his sleeves, and a stream of cyan light flew out, instantly hitting the approaching black shadow.

The black figure let out a scream and wanted to turn around and run away.

At this time, several more wind blades were shot out from the team, completely killing the black shadow.

A team member responsible for collecting the corpses stepped forward and cast a light spell to check the situation.

Xu Mu noticed that it was a black leopard the size of a calf with white hair on its hooves.

After it was confirmed that it was dead, the team members began to divide it.

"It's the second-order monster beast Clouded Leopard!" Lu Zhen said with a slight frown.

"This is already the third one I've encountered!" Wu Lan beside him sighed softly.

As the team entered the depths, the huge number of people formed a strong attraction to the monsters. Every day they encountered more than ten or twenty monsters, among which the proportion of second-level monsters was constantly increasing.

Xu Mu's eyes flickered, knowing that the time to separate was coming soon.

The next day, Ouyang Ying found him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, we can no longer follow the team. We are only attracting some low-level monsters now. We can barely cope with it. If we attract the foundation building period, we will be in trouble!"

With the current number of teams, they will definitely attract monsters in the foundation building stage.

After all, there are enough ants to fill your stomach!

"I understand! Let's leave the team today and go to Liyang Sect by another way!"

Xu Mu nodded.

He asked Ouyang Ying to inform the other people in the team, and he walked towards Su Qing.

"Su..."

Xu Mu wanted to invite Su Qing one last time, but as soon as he arrived, he saw Su Qing chatting and laughing with a strange late Qi practitioner.

"Fellow Daoist Su, is something wrong?"

Seeing Xu Mu approaching, Su Qing asked in a good mood.

She also didn't expect that she originally wanted to find the person who secretly sent her the secret book, but instead found a distant relative who was in the late stage of Qi training.

The other party originally came to Baishifang City for business, but was accidentally trapped here, and then joined the escape team.

If Su Qing hadn't taken the initiative to look for him and reported his name, I'm afraid neither of them would have recognized him when the team separated.

The other party agreed to take her family with her, so Su Qing was in a very high mood, and even looking at Xu Mu at this time felt pleasing to the eye.

"Fellow Daoist Su, we are going to separate from the team. I would like to ask you if you want to go together?"

"I don't have to, I'll go with my uncle, you guys be careful!"

Su Qing refused very simply.

She had a late-stage Qi-training team that she could join, so how could she join a mid-stage Qi-training team that was full of old, weak, sick, and disabled people.

"In that case! Then let's meet Liyang Sect!"

Xu Mu smiled, then turned and left.

If the opponent has a suitable team, he doesn't have to expose his strength to convince the opponent, which is actually a good thing for him.

After all, the more people know, the more danger there is.

"Leave the team now, your friend is quite confident!"

Su Qing, who was in the later stage of Qi training next to him, said with a smile.

Generally speaking, those who are relatively weak still want to stick together for warmth and hope to follow the large army.

Even if it attracts foundation-building monsters, they may not be the ones who die.

Only those teams that are strong and feel that they can deal with the third-level monsters on their own will leave the main force early because they are afraid of being targeted by the foundation-building monsters.

"Perhaps it's because he has accumulated more talismans! He is a second-level alchemist!"

"Oh! That's quite a talent! What a pity!"

There are many talismans but you have to have the opportunity to use them. I am afraid it will be difficult for an alchemist to survive to the Liyang Sect.

Maybe as soon as you leave the team, you will be targeted.
