Chapter 22

After a long while, Feng Zhi suddenly opened her eyes, and a few blood-red rays burst out from her body. She sat cross-legged on the ice bed and rapidly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy. The light ball in her qi center expanded and rotated at a rapid speed, and the spiritual energy pressed down on every inch of her skin…

“Ah!!”

Feng Zhi was in so much pain that she raised her head and cried out loudly. Her hair burst open, and her black hair danced with the cold air.

“Stop! Stop it now!”

Seeing that Feng Zhi’s skin was covered in ice marks and that her water-type bloodline was on the verge of advancing, the demon dragon let out a wild cry and brought her back to her senses.

“Why are you stopping me from advancing?”

Feng Zhi’s eyes were slightly cold and her voice was filled with dissatisfaction as she asked.

The demon dragon reminded her to check her body. Feng Zhi peeked into her qi center and realized that there seemed to be something strange about the water-type light ball.

“The spiritual energy here is abundant, and it is beneficial for your cultivation. However, you have yet to refine these wild energies into your own…”

“It is inevitable that they will float on the surface. If you forcefully level up and your spiritual energy isn’t solid enough, you might suffer a backlash and damage your meridians…”

“Let’s stop for now. After some time, we will find a few demon beasts to temper ourselves and refine them before we can continue cultivating!”

Feng Zhi stopped and sighed!

The advancement was right in front of her eyes, yet she had to wait for an opportunity. It was really torturous!

“Bad dragon, how did you know about this treasured land?” she asked as she was bored and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy.

The demonic dragon snorted twice and complained in disdain, “look at your unworldly appearance. I know thousands of places like this!”

“…oh, you’re the best! Why are you still trapped in the Feng family cave? Did you have to rely on me to get out?”

Feng Zhi asked bluntly. The demon dragon almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Sooner or later, it would be angered to death by Feng Zhi!

“That’s because I fell into a trap, that’s why…” The demon dragon was so mad that it tried to explain, but Feng Zhi raised her index finger and put it to her lips. “Shh!”

She circled behind the icicle and quietly hid.

A one-horned demon beast walked with heavy steps, panting heavily, and slowly approached with great vigilance..

“Little girl, what kind of Luck do you have? What You want, you get!”

The demon dragon rubbed its eyes with its claws and exclaimed!

The corners of Feng Zhi’s lips curled up into a bloodthirsty arc. She gripped the soft whip tightly, fell to the ground, held her breath, and waited for the demon beast to step into her attack range before leaping up.

Roar!

The demon beast spat out a few streams of sticky liquid. Feng Zhi dodged, and with a flick of her finger, she instantly froze it.

She flipped over and closed in on the demon beast. Holding a single horn, she sat on its spine that was covered with soft thorns. Holding the soft whip, she strangled its throat, forcing it to constantly twist its body. It lost its balance and staggered to the ground!

“I’ll send you on your way!” Feng Zhi waved her hand and conjured two icicles, poking at the demon beast’s eyeballs.

The demon beast roared and spewed out putrid smoke, forcing Feng Zhi to take two steps back. Covering her face with her hand, she could vaguely see the figure of the demon beast running towards her again. She turned her body sideways and kicked horizontally, tripping over the behemoth. She frowned and said.

“He looks so disgusting, and his skills stink too!”

There seemed to be something in the smoke that prevented Feng Zhi from conjuring any freezing skills for a short period of time.

While she was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the demon beast, she suddenly heard two cries. “Be careful!”

A man with decent skills appeared out of thin air. There were two scratches on his front collar. It looked like he was the person who had just fought with the demon beast!

“Its weakness is its heart! Three inches! Use a sharp weapon to pierce through!”

The man was entangled with the demon beast, and his strength was not ordinary. Because of his reminder and restriction, Feng Zhi pulled out the hairpin, aimed at its heart, and glided over.

Puff…

The hairpin accurately pierced into the demon beast’s heart. It instantly turned into a cloud of green smoke and dropped a few magic crystals and skill books…

Feng Zhi wiped her sweat and looked at the man.

“Zhi Zhi?” Ye Meng, who was a bit slower, looked at her in surprise and was a little embarrassed. “You’re here too!”

Feng Zhi waved her hand.

The three of them were a little tired. They left the ice cave and found a place to sit down and rest in the deep forest.

Ye Meng carefully glanced at Feng Zhi’s face and introduced, “he’s my friend. I’ve told you about him. He’s very powerful, Qin Feng.”

“This is my roommate, Feng Zhi.”

Ye Meng quietly approached her, her eyes full of helplessness. She said in a low voice, “Zhi Zhi, I didn’t mean to hide it from you!”

“I’m not from a big sect. My family is poor. It’s not easy for me to get into the Academy. I want to make a name for myself!”

“But the Academy was always asking for money. I just wanted to hunt some demon beasts with Qin Feng and sell the crystals for money!”

Ye Meng shook Feng Zhi’s arm gently, her eyes showing some expectation and envy. “Zhi Zhi! I didn’t expect you to be so good at fighting and killing demon beasts! Why don’t you join us? Let’s hunt some demon beasts together, what do you think?”

“I can give you more magic crystals!”

If she was here, they might be able to hunt a demon beast every day. In that case… would they not earn a lot of money?

Qin Feng did not say anything and only looked at her quietly.

Feng Zhi furrowed her brows in deep thought. Due to Chu Yao’s interference, she had spent all her savings on the Philosopher’s Stone during the auction. She also needed money.

“Alright, I’ll join you.”

She did not continue to hesitate and said straightforwardly.
