"Senior brother Meng Zhong!" The moment Jing Mu stepped into Meng Zhong's yard, he shouted anxiously.

"What are you panicking for!" "If you have something to say, just say it!" When Meng Zhong heard his voice, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

"Senior brother Meng Zhong, Yang Li came back, but Yue Long disappeared!" Jing Mu paused for a moment and said word by word.

"Moreover, Yang Li only left for a single trip before breaking through from the fifth level to the eighth level!"

"What?" Meng Zhong was also surprised. He pondered for a moment.

"Yang Li has a secret. He's in the sect right now, so we shouldn't make a move. Wait!" If there really is a secret, he will definitely go out! " Meng Zhong said in an extremely decisive manner.

"Keep watching him!" If he goes out again, find snow and let it kill him! "

"Yes sir!" When Jing Mu heard Meng Zhong's words, he wanted to say something, but on second thought, Snow was not as useless as Yue Long. Although she was only at the second level of the Blood Tempering Stage, her combat ability was definitely comparable to a third level Blood Tempering Stage martial artist.

"Alright, you can go now. Continue watching Yang Li." Meng Zhong waved his hand and dismissed him.

"Yes sir!" When Jing Mu heard Meng Zhong's words, he immediately turned around and left, leaving Meng Zhong in deep thought.

After some time, Meng Zhong made up his mind. If Snow missed again, he would personally make his move.

After Yang Li entered the sect, he didn't head towards the mission hall, but instead headed towards his own residence.

After returning to his residence, Yang Li hung a sign at the entrance: Do not disturb me while I am in seclusion.

After that, he sat cross-legged on the bed and examined his injuries. Although he had taken the Healing Pill and suppressed his internal injuries, he still couldn't recover from it. It had a huge impact on his spiritual energy circulation and battle prowess.

"Let's first fully recover from our injuries before thinking about other matters."

He activated the Flame God Incantation and carefully examined his entire body. There were many wounds on the upper half of his body, and the wounds were crisscrossing. There were even deep wounds that could be seen on the bones, making him look especially terrifying.

Yang Li's leg had also been attacked by the nether wolves, and there were several deep wounds. If it was anyone else, they would not even dare to walk, much less fight. However, Yang Li relied on his strong willpower to endure the pain as he returned to the sect.

Not only that, but he had also killed Yue Long, whose cultivation was much higher than his.

The Healing Pill emitted a strange energy that rushed from his body towards the wounds. With the help of Yang Li's Flame Divine Art, the wounds began to rapidly heal.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The injury that would have taken three days to heal was shortened to two days under Yang Li's incessant urging.

However, Yang Li was also extremely tired. Ever since he had met the Dark Wolf, his entire mind had been in a state of tension. Furthermore, after killing the Dark Wolf, the injuries all over his body had greatly stimulated his spirit.

Now that all his injuries had healed, Yang Li's tense nerves relaxed for a split-second before his vision turned black and he fell asleep.

The next day, Yang Li crawled out of bed, stretched, and walked out to wash his face in the pond. His entire body was brimming with energy, and after practicing the Flame God Spear Art, he cast the Floating Light Flash once more.

"Hmm? Middle stage of the eighth floor? " Yang Li was surprised to discover that he had reached the middle of the eighth level of Qi Accumulation. Although he had only broken through a tiny boundary, the change to him was still tremendous.

The amount of spirit energy flowing into his blood grew more and more. A strange energy seemed to be flowing through his blood, making him even more powerful.

It must be because he recovered from his injuries, his spiritual force went through a round of ascension, and his spiritual force also went up to a small level.

Yang Li laughed and did not continue thinking about it. Using his movement technique, he flew towards the External Affairs Hall.

Not long after, Yang Li arrived at the External Affairs Hall. The Outer Duty Hall was as lively as ever. Some of the disciples left with calm expressions, some with sullen faces, but most of them were disciples brimming with joy.

"Senior brother, hand in the mission." Yang Li quickly walked towards the mission area and shouted to the foreman.

"Give me your identity token." The deacon said plainly.

Yang Li took out his identity plate and handed it over to him.

"Fire Mist Flower, Fog Concealing Grass, Billowing Fire Snake, and Earth Dragon Bear. Will you hand them all over or choose to hand them over?"

"Hand over the Fire Serpent's mission." Yang Li calmly said.

"Yep, one of the demon cores from the Billowing Fire Serpent is at the lowest level. According to the level of the demon cores you pay, you'll receive a reward."

As the deacon's voice fell, he saw Yang Li throw a Billowing Fire Snake demon core onto the table.

He picked it up and checked it. His eyes twitched as he looked at Yang Li.

"Early Second Grade Billowing Fire Snake Demonic Core, fire poison dual attribute. According to the rules of the mission, you can obtain 200 spirit stones. Are you sure you want to hand in the mission?"

"I'm sure." Yang Li said without hesitation.

"Junior brother, if you get this snake core from the auction house, you can sell it for at least 260 spirit stones. Do you really want to turn in the mission?"

The deacon looked at Yang Li in confusion.

"Sure, I'll have to trouble senior brother to help me hand it over." Yang Li said.

"Alright, then I'll help you confirm it's done."

The deacon brought along his identity token and demon core as he headed towards the back of the Mission Office.

After Yang Li waited for a while, he saw the deacon take out a bag.

"Junior brother, please touch it. 200 spirit stones."

"Thank you, Senior Martial Brother. I will take my leave first." With that, Yang Li walked out without even looking.

For the past few days, the spear didn't absorb any demon cores, but it seemed to be saturated. He planned to go to the Trade Hall to see if there were any rare ores to help Feng'er wake up.

The trading hall was divided into four entrances: the east, west, east, and west. The two entrances led to the outer sect, while the east entrance led to the top disciples and the direct disciples.

It was one of the most special halls in the sect. Disciples could sell their items here, and the Trade Hall would buy them at market prices. At the same time, they could set up stalls here to buy or sell items.

At the same time, other than the items the sect needed, the rest of the strange items would be put on sale for people to choose from. Pills and weapons would also be sold.

This included some martial arts. Although the sect would carve them into the Scripture Pavilion, they would be sold here at the same time. Moreover, their prices would also be lower.

The Trade Hall was also extremely lively. Yang Li first looked at all the stalls and found that no one was selling ores.

The ores in the Trade Hall were not for sale. They were directly distributed to the Pill Hall for refiners to refine and use.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Li found a stall and wrote a sign: Selling Dark Wolf Demonic Cores for Rare Ores.

After that, Yang Li directly took out a portion of mid-Second Order nether wolf monster cores and quietly sat there, waiting.

"Junior brother, how do I buy the Star Pattern Copper?" Not long after, a disciple came over to inquire about the matter.

"According to the market price, an Astral Patterned Copper is equivalent to 80 spirit stone slags per jin. If Senior Brother has a larger amount, Junior Brother can purchase it according to 90 spirit stone slags. I wonder what you think?" Yang Li also kindly said.

"Sure, but I have 10 Jin here. That's not considered small. How about 9 spirit stones?" If it's possible, I'll go back to retrieve it immediately! " The disciple asked with an inquiring tone.

"Alright, Senior Martial Brother, you go and fetch them. Junior Martial Brother, wait here. At the same time, I would like to ask Senior Martial Brother to help me inform the other fellow Junior Martial Brothers." Yang Li said with a smile.

"No problem. Junior brother, please wait a moment." With that, he turned around and ran out of the trading hall.

Seeing him leave, Yang Li smiled, and suddenly heard a ruckus coming from the eastern entrance. He could not help but turn his head over.

Her pupils were clear, her eyebrows were slightly curved, her nose was high, and her thin lips were like a rose. She wore a light green robe, and like a fairy from a painting, she walked towards the palace with many disciples following behind her.

"Senior brother, who is this woman?" When Yang Li saw her, his heart suddenly fiercely jumped. His eyebrows rose as he turned his head to ask the disciple next door.

"You don't even know Su Wanqing?" The disciple looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Her name is Su Wan Qing, the direct disciple of the Sect Leader. She was brought over from a certain clan five years ago and I heard that her talent in cultivation and alchemy is equally terrifying. In just a short five years, she has not only broken through to the ninth level of the Spirit Movement Stage, but can also refine a third level pellet."

"Even the Pill Palace's Hall Master was praising her for her talent in alchemy. He even said that if she was not the Sect Leader's direct disciple, he would snatch Su Wanqing under his wing."

"Moreover, Su Wanqing is the sect's number one beauty. I wonder how many people adore her. Sigh, it's fine if she is pretty, but she is also an absolute genius." The disciple could not help but sigh.

"People like us shouldn't even think about getting close to others. It's better for us to cultivate properly." The disciple sincerely said to Yang Li.

"Thank you, Senior Martial Brother. I will remember this." After Yang Li heard his words, he smiled and expressed his thanks. He thought to himself: "Did you climb high? "Who knows what the future holds?"

Thinking of this, he looked at Su Wanqing and smiled faintly. He lowered his head and continued to look at his booth.

If not for the fact that she had lost a Demonic Core and the Pill Palace was gone, she would never appear in front of so many people. This led to many disciples following behind her, unable to catch up.

"Forget it, let's just find them and leave as soon as possible." Su Wan Qing thought for a while and started to quickly scan the stall. Whenever she saw Demonic Cores, she would ask about them, but there was nothing that satisfied her.

She quickly arrived at Yang Li's left side of the stall, but still wasn't able to satisfy him. It was only when she saw Yang Li's booth that her eyes suddenly lit up.

"All of them are Level 2 Mid Dark Wolf Monster Cores!"

Yang Li raised his head to look at Su Wanqing who had just walked in front of the booth. He could not help but praise in his heart, "Her skin is like Xue Ning's, and her eyes are like the stars. She is truly like a celestial being raised by the heavens." However, he remained calm on the surface.

Su Wan Qing looked down at the cores and stared at Yang Li. Her voice was sweet and melodious like an oriole as she asked, "Junior brother, you have so many nether wolf cores. Did you encounter the nether wolves?"

"Senior, are you interested in the Demonic Core?" Yang Li, on the other hand, did not respond to her question. He did not avoid Su Wan Qing's gaze in the slightest. Instead, he looked at her with clear eyes.

This made Su Wan Qing interested in Yang Li because very few people in the sect dared to meet her gaze. Most of them looked at him with lust and desire, and Yang Li's clear eyes made her feel a strange sensation.

"Yes, I'm missing a rank 3 beast core for my alchemy. Does Junior have it?" Su Wan Qing didn't seem to care about Yang Li's question at all. However, the eyes of the people behind her became unfriendly.

"There is one, and it is a mid-Grade Three Wolf King Demonic Core. However, I need it to exchange for something that I need urgently. Senior Sister, please forgive me." Yang Li said indifferently.

"Junior brother, this is senior sister Su Wanqing. It is your honor to have senior sister Su Wanqing use your things, but you still want to exchange with her!" "He doesn't know how to appreciate favors!" A disciple behind Su Wan Qing stepped forward and sneered.

When Su Wan Qing heard this, her face turned cold and her voice became icy, "Murin, I am the one who is buying, not you. I respect you as a fellow student, but to be rude, you are not qualified to meddle in my affairs!"
