The mineral ore was now sufficient to supply the entire sect!
Furthermore, they already knew the location of the mineral vein. They would return the next time the secret realm opened.
After all, the secret realm did not limit the number of participants.
"That's great. Your thoughts align with mine. That's exactly what I was thinking," Luo Wan said, sprawled on the ground, turning her head.
The two were utterly exhausted and fell asleep right there on the ground.
It wasn't until the next day that they finally recovered their energy.
"There are less than eight days left until the trial ends. We should go out and get some fresh air!" Ye Fei stretched and suggested.
"Let's go. We should head out quickly. I'm itching for some action!"
"And I need to find some more demonic beasts to spar with. I feel the bottleneck within me is about to shatter!" Luo Wan stated firmly. "I must strive to break through during this trial!"
If it weren't for that little dumpling giving her a cultivation technique when she was young, she probably wouldn't have even started cultivating by now.
However, because she had always cultivated alone, lacking guidance, her cultivation progression was not fast.
But the enemies she would face in the future would inevitably be thousands of times stronger than herself. She had to improve her strength in the shortest possible time.
"Alright, then from now on, we'll focus on improving our cultivation!" Ye Fei was also burning with fighting spirit. The two agreed instantly, had a simple meal, and then left the barrier.
"Let's head this way!" Ye Fei pointed to the left and said.
As Ye Fei's cultivation broke through, his speed also increased significantly.
Luo Wan, who could still barely keep pace with Ye Fei, was now far behind him. This made Luo Wan sigh inwardly, increasing her desire to improve her own strength.
When the two arrived before a towering tree with dense foliage reaching into the clouds, and were about to continue forward, they suddenly heard sounds of fighting ahead!
"Someone's here!"
"Let's go and see what's happening!" Ye Fei said directly.
Luo Wan had the same intention! The two then moved like phantoms, quietly approaching the edge of the fight.
What's more, the combatants were both old acquaintances of Ye Fei!
"It's them!"
"We really have a connection with them!"
Indeed, the two sides fighting were the leavened bun, Pu Shao, and his guards, along with Bai Shao and the short, fat man.
"Weren't they calling each other brothers yesterday?" Luo Wan muttered softly. "How come after just one day, they're already slaughtering each other?"
Ye Fei shook his head secretly and continued to observe.
"Pu, quickly give me half of what you have!" Bai Shao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily, clearly enraged. "Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
"Hmph, what right do you have to yell at me!"
"You're truly naive!"
"I was willing to cooperate with you temporarily before only because you still had some use!"
"Now that I have obtained this treasure, you have lost your purpose!" Pu Shao, the leavened bun, looked at them contemptuously again. Then he said, "I thought you guys were quite formidable, but you've truly disappointed me!"
"The eldest disciple of the Qi Sect Elder is so useless. You're simply disgracing your Qi Sect!"
"If I were you, I'd rather smash my head against a wall and die. You're a disgrace even alive!" Pu Shao became more agitated as he spoke, his expression growing fiercer.
Bai Shao, as the eldest disciple of the Qi Sect Elder, was always treated with respect wherever he went. When had he ever been so humiliated! He immediately went into a rage and charged at Pu Shao, the leavened bun.
"You're seeking death!"
*Clang.*
He unleashed his strongest attack, intending to slay Pu Shao with a single sword strike.
"Long Yi, kill him for me!" Pu Shao, the leavened bun, didn't need to act himself. One of his guards behind him immediately moved like a gust of wind and engaged Bai Shao in combat upon receiving the order!
Long Yi's cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, while Bai Shao's cultivation was only at the early stage of the eighth level of Qi Refining. There was a difference of two full stages between them!
To Ye Fei, this was certainly not an insurmountable gap. However, for ordinary cultivators, it was like climbing to heaven! From Ye Fei's perspective, Bai Shao would be defeated before long!
"Senior Brother, we're here to help!" The short, fat man and his companion, seeing their senior brother was losing, rushed forward without hesitation!
"I'll kill you!"
"For hurting my Senior Brother!" The short, fat man directly flung a sleeve dart from his sleeve! It struck Long Yi directly on the shoulder with force!
Long Yi, who was holding a treasure sword and was about to decapitate Bai Shao, was hit by the sleeve dart! Instantly, he could no longer grip his sword with his right hand!
At this moment, the short, fat man's attack once again came towards him! Seizing the opportunity, the short, fat man intended to kill this person right there!
However, the short, fat man was lax in his cultivation. Most of his time was spent on artifact refining. Therefore, this seemingly fierce attack was cleverly dodged by the injured Long Yi!
He rolled on the ground, then leaped up vigorously! In the blink of an eye, Long Yi, holding his sword with his left hand, thrust it towards the short, fat man!
By the time the short, fat man realized the danger, it was already too late! Even though he retreated at extreme speed, the long sword still slashed his shoulder with a *clang*! The short, fat man immediately cried out in pain.
"Hahaha, you think you're so great just because you injured me?"
"Let me tell you!"
"My sleeve dart is coated with poison!"
"If you don't want to die of poisoning, you'd better let the three of us leave now!" The short, fat man threatened sinisterly, clutching his injured shoulder.
As for the only companion who was not injured, he nervously shielded Bai Shao and the short, fat man.
"What did you say? You actually poisoned me!" Long Yi, who had not taken it seriously before, immediately showed a look of panic! He quickly took out a detoxification pill from his Qiankun bag and swallowed it.
"Hahaha!"
"It's useless!"
"The poison on my sleeve dart is no ordinary poison!"
"Your detoxification pill can only delay the onset of the poison!"
"When the poison takes effect, your whole body will itch terribly, your internal organs will rot, and you will eventually die from respiratory failure!" The short, fat man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said sinisterly again.
