Chapter 1240: Accidental Encounter

ame to Wen Zhaoming's doorstep. She peered inside for a long time but didn't see Wen Zhaoming come out. She then frowned and muttered to herself:"Isn't that so"Smack!" a large broom hit her back hard,..."Then we'll listen to our master and wait until his energy is almost depleted, then we'll make our move."

Dodo was very sensible and readily agreed.

"Master, I want to walk openly by your side."

Xuan Feng muttered.

"No rush, wait until the competition is over. After dusk, I'll leave Yuntian Sect and make up an excuse to leave the sect. Next time, I'll bring you back with me. Just say that you are my contracted spirit beast."

Ripples touched the whirlwind's head and said.

Her purpose in doing so was to solidify her identity as a human. After all, there had never been a case of a demon clan making a contract with a human before.

"Okay, I hear you."

After Ripples, Whirlwind, and Flower had a good talk, they continued to carve the jade tablet. When tired, they would draw talismans, filling their time completely.

After returning to his cave dwelling that evening, Lian Xiye's face darkened. He inwardly cursed Feng Shuying for being more adept at causing trouble than resolving it. Now he could only focus on preparing for the sect grand competition with all his might, hoping to restore his reputation.

Lian Xi swallowed a pill at dusk, then sat cross-legged to absorb its power. This time, he didn't spend much time in seclusion before successfully advancing to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm. However, he knew this wasn't enough; without the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage, wanting to enter the top ten of the Golden Core group was a fool's dream.

So he decided to take a gamble, using all his spirit stones and pills, he forcefully attacked the late stage of Jindan. Luckily, his luck was good and his foundation was solid enough, so he ultimately succeeded. Everything was developing in a positive direction, but it was inexplicably destroyed. However, the more this happened, the more he needed to stay calm.

The day before the official start of the grand competition, Lian Ye stabilized his cultivation at the late stage of the Golden Core. Relying on this cultivation base, he effortlessly passed through five stages and six generals, surging into the top thirty of the Golden Core group. The real showdown among the Golden Cores was about to begin.

Those with weak abilities and insufficient cultivation had long been eliminated in the previous rounds. The remaining contestants were all talented individuals, so the competition among those in the Golden Core stage was particularly exciting.

There are even some people who secretly opened betting pools, and Xi Ye is also a popular choice, after all, he took a year to rush from the early stage of Jindan to the later stage. He's still quite eye-catching.

After half a month of fierce competition, he finally stopped at the top thirty. His shortcomings were also exposed during the competition. After all, his cultivation was forcibly improved, so it was somewhat superficial. Furthermore, he only focused on improving his cultivation and lacked practical combat experience.

When battling those with lower cultivation levels, it wasn't obvious. But when facing veteran Golden Core cultivators, it was exposed, so he was easily knocked off the stage and stopped at the top 15.

Although he missed out on the opportunity to be a disciple, Lian Xiye was still quite satisfied with his performance. He showed everyone his abilities, and that's not a bad thing for him.

After the grand competition of the sect ended, Lian Xiye made an appointment with several friends on that very evening to go out and complete a sect mission. He had emptied his storage bag through continuous cultivation in his cave abode and could no longer afford to stay there and practice.

Not long after leaving in the evening, Lian Yi left the pass. After completing her three years of talisman-making mission, she came to bid farewell to the Peak Master of Fu.

"Master Fu Feng, I have now advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and am preparing to return home. I will also take this opportunity to complete the tasks assigned by the elders of the Divine Transformation stage in our sect."

"Well, you've already ascended to the divine realm, and it's time you took care of your family. If you need anything, feel free to act in the name of Yuntian Sect's Fu Feng."

Elder Fu smiled broadly and said.

"Thanks for the reminder, Fu Feng. I'll go as quickly as possible and return as soon as I can."

Ripples smiled and then went to the mission hall to take a sect mission before leaving Yuntai Sect.

After leaving the sect, ripples slowly trailed behind Lian Xiye's group, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

In the evening, Lian Xi and his three fellow disciples prepared to go to Yun Guang Mountain to collect herbs for refining Yuan Ying Dan. This was the result of a discussion among the four.

Since the cultivation levels of the four were all at the late stage of the Golden Core, it was very necessary to prepare for the Nascent Soul Pill in advance. After handing over enough spiritual plants for refining the Nascent Soul Pill to the sect, they could receive a Nascent Soul Pill from the sect. This was a benefit provided by Yuntian Sect to its disciples. However, three batches of refined spiritual plants were needed to exchange for one Nascent Soul Pill.

According to the direction they were walking, she guessed their destination and waited for them in Yungu Mountain beforehand, hoping to have a chance encounter.

A ripple passed across her face, transforming it into a radiant and vibrant one. The crimson patterns on her Xian skirt highlighted her extraordinary lineage. A sprig of flowers was also placed in her hair as usual. She suppressed her cultivation to the late stage of the Golden Core and, after unleashing a whirlwind, began collecting and refining spirit herbs for Yuan Ying Dan on Yun Guang Mountain.

Three days later, the two sides met again. This time, their goal was the same: the Yuan Ying fruit tree.

Near the spirit infant fruit tree stood a fifth-order six-armed ape guarding it. It had previously beaten up Lian Yexi's group severely, so now they could only watch from afar, not daring to get close. Their bodies were simply too weak to withstand the other party's punches.

Lien Xiye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, unwillingly gazing at the Yuan Ying fruit tree. The fruits on the tree were almost ripe. If he didn't pick them soon, they would end up in the six-armed monkey's mouth. He was anxious, but for the moment, he had no better solution. The gap in their strength was too great.

"At dusk, someone was over there, also seemingly coming for the Yuan Ying fruit tree."

Du Yan whispered, she was a three-spirit root of wood, metal, and earth, with the wood spirit root being the thickest. Therefore, she had an innate affinity for plants. Plants conveyed information to her, allowing her to discover the ripple hidden nearby.

How many people

At dusk, sound transmission asked the way.

"One person."

How is your cultivation progressing

Like us, they seem similar, but the other party seems to have a wood spirit root and is very skilled at disguising themselves. If it weren't for the plants informing me with the wind, I wouldn't have noticed.

In the evening, someone heard that only one person was there. He let out a sigh of relief. This place was discovered by them after all. If someone else had taken their prize, he would have cried to death.

"Let's leave here and see what the other side is going to do."

That evening, he privately messaged several people, indicating that he wanted to see if there was a chance for someone to surprise attack from behind. If that wasn't possible, he would then consider joining forces.

After the four people left, Lian'er pretended to observe for a while longer. After knowing their thoughts, she waited for half a day and then charged up with the whip formed from DuoDuo.

The six-armed macaque, seeing another human eyeing his fruit, let out a furious roar. He slammed his chest and rained down six fists on the ripples, vowing to beat her into a pulp.

The ripples danced gracefully, their figure wavering, managing to avoid every punch from the Six-Armed Ape Monkey. This enraged the ape, who roared and chased after Ripples even more fiercely. Slowly, they moved further away from the Yuan Ying fruit tree.

Here comes your chance.

At dusk, Lian Xi's eyes lit up as she spoke.

"Yes!"

The other three slapped talismans of calming qi onto themselves, then crept forward slowly with their swords drawn.

At this time, both ripples and the six-armed monkey stood beside the Yuan Ying fruit tree. They were not fighting as lively as the four people had seen.

Before Ripples released her seven-tiered pressure, the Six-Armed Macaque stood respectfully before her. A flattering smile appeared on his monkey face.

"Master, how did you have time to come to YunGuang Mountain Is there anything the little one can do for you"
