Chapter 210 Don’t Regret
Cao Yi, standing to the side, looked at Yun Xi with approval, while Zhang Lingrui and Lin Keyang pondered the possibility Yun Xi had mentioned. Cao Yi then spoke up:

“Junior Sister Wei’s speculation is probably correct. Xiao He used an array to kill the Xiao family, and this array could only have been taught to him by an evil cultivator.”

Lin Keyang asked directly:
"Senior Brother Cao, is there anything special about this formation?"

Cao Yi explained:

"This formation is also a kind of evil formation, somewhat similar to the one that plundered Wei Lingkai's life force before. However, this formation is clearly more powerful. It not only extracts life force but also the cultivator's spiritual energy, and then stores this spiritual energy."

The hissing sound came from Yunxi and the other two, and just hearing it made their scalps tingle.

Yunxi took a deep breath and asked:
“Once a cultivator’s spiritual power and life force are drained, they will surely die. So, could the stored energy help evil cultivators improve their cultivation and prolong their lifespan?”

Cao Yi nodded and said:

"Yes, and Xiao He might be able to use this energy to repair his damaged dantian."

The rest is self-evident.

Yunxi muttered something:
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have just killed him back then. Now I've only created an enemy for myself."

"You didn't kill him back then because you wanted to find clues about the evil cultivators. It wasn't your fault."

That was all Cao Yi could say to comfort him.

"Should we tell True Monarch Xiaoyuan about this?"

Yun Xi asked.

"You can inform the True Lord of the clues discovered by your spirit pet, Dian Dian. As for the speculation about the formation, I believe the City Lord's Mansion should already be aware of it, so there's no need for us to show off."

As for Xiao He's repair of his dantian, that's just our speculation, and there's no substantial evidence, so there's no need to mention it.

However, it's good that we're aware of this. We still need to tell Elder Wei and your uncle about this; some things need to be prevented from happening in the first place. We can't always be there to save people in time.

"Yes, Senior Brother Cao, Junior Sister understands."

Yunxi naturally understood what Cao Yi meant by saying these things.

The four did not enter the Xiao residence. After a brief stay outside, they returned to the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion's True Lord Xiaoyuan learned of the three's movements immediately and was about to ask the four what they had discovered when Wei Chenyin came to request an audience.

Wei Chenyin came to say goodbye for two reasons: first, to inform the city lord of Yunxi and the other three's discovery; regardless of whether it helped in capturing Xiao He, they had done their best.

After hearing Wei Chenyin's words, Xiaoyuan Zhenjun's expression improved considerably:
"The information provided by Elder Wei is of great help in tracking down the massacre of the Xiao family. I will not stop you from leaving Xiaohe City. I will send the compensation to your courtyard in a while. However, I still want to remind you to be careful on your journey."

"Thank you for your guidance, True Lord."

Wei Chenyin thanked him respectfully before turning to leave.

After everyone left, Xiao Yuan Zhenjun arranged for people to track down Xiao He and his sister Xiao Lei.

Xiao He had already left Xiaohe City. At this moment, he was wearing a jet-black robe, but his face was strangely ruddy. He stood next to another black-robed cultivator, gazing at Xiaohe City from afar.

The black-robed man exuded the pressure of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and he said calmly:

"Xiao He, I hope you won't regret your decision today."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, and then he said in a hoarse voice:

"Someone once said the same thing to me."

"Oh? You regret it?"

Xiao He gazed at the distant Xiaohe City for a long time without answering the question, only letting out a barely perceptible sigh.

"Let's go! Now that you've made your choice, don't give yourself a chance to regret it." After saying that, the Nascent Soul man waved his sleeve and swept Xiao He away from where he stood.

Yunxi and her group stayed in Xiaohe City for three more days before sending Wei Chenyin and Wei Lingkai back to Haoran Sect via a teleportation array.

Yunxi decided to travel back to the sect with the other three on a training journey.

Wei Chenyin, somewhat worried, instructed:

“Yunxi, Xiao He has disappeared without a trace. He is like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, and you never know when he will bite you. You must not let your guard down.”

"Yes, don't worry, Senior Sister, it's from Yunxi Province."

Yunxi respectfully agreed.

Although Wei Chenyin was worried about Yunxi, she also knew that Wei Lingkai urgently needed to return to the sect to recover in seclusion. In the end, she could only enter the teleportation array under the watchful eyes of the four people.

After confirming that the teleportation array was functioning correctly, Yunxi and the other three left the teleportation hall.

Zhang Lingrui turned his neck and said:

"Where do we go next?"

Cao Yi said:
"Not far from Xiaohe City is Yuxing City, where there is a very rare material for refining arrays. Are you interested in digging some up?"

Upon hearing about rare array-refining materials, Zhang Lingrui asked:
"How many spirit stones is it worth?"

Cao Yi replied with a smile:

"These array-refining materials are traded using mid-grade spirit stones. How many spirit stones do you think they're worth?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingrui perked up and said with a smile:

“Ke Yang and I are both interested. We can gain experience and earn spirit stones at the same time. Where else can we find such a good deal?”

Lin Keyang nodded in interest. Yunxi was the youngest of the four, so she naturally wouldn't object. However, she felt that the main reason the two agreed was that they could earn spirit stones.

Zhang Lingrui is a sword cultivator. As everyone knows, sword cultivators only cultivate one sword. Apart from the necessary healing pills, they spend a lot of spirit stones on upgrading their natal sword, so it is common for them to be short of money.

Lin Keyang is a body cultivator, and advancement in body cultivation is achieved through tempering oneself. Soaking in a medicinal bath is the most basic auxiliary step. She had done it before when she was in the Feng family. A medicinal bath for the Qi Refining stage alone requires thirty different kinds of spiritual plants. One can imagine how many spiritual plants are needed after reaching the Golden Core stage. There are requirements not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of age.

This means that body cultivators generally can't save spirit stones. Yunxi was fortunate that the Feng family had laid a good foundation for her from the very beginning of her cultivation, and she had been taking milk fruit to improve her physical strength. When her divine sense was too strong and almost caused her physical body to collapse, she tempered her physical body again. The interstellar body refining technique that followed was also very effective, saving her a lot of spirit stones.

After reaching an agreement, the four left Xiahe City that same day.

Jade Star City is not far from Xiao River City, so the four of them did not take a flying boat but walked there. Along the way, Yunxi exchanged ideas with the three of them on array formation, swordsmanship, and body refining techniques, and both sides benefited greatly.

Zhang Lingrui praised:

"Junior Sister Wei, I didn't realize you had such a wide range of interests. It's not just a simple dual cultivation of body and magic. Judging from your understanding of swordsmanship, your swordsmanship level is quite high as well."

Yunxi explained with a smile:
"The sword is the most commonly used offensive weapon in the cultivation world. I also wanted to know myself and my enemy, so I did some research on it."

"Your idea is correct, otherwise the two of us wouldn't have lost to you."

Zhang Lingrui said with a slightly teasing tone.

Yun Xi laughed and said:

"It was just a fluke."

The four were chatting when they saw a firework resembling an auspicious cloud explode in the sky, and they stopped talking.

Yunxi looked at the familiar distress fireworks and felt a sense of accomplishment, realizing that one day she would become the one who saved people. Meanwhile, Cao Yi had already determined the location and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
