Chapter 615: Take the initiative
Mu Zijun looked around his cave but found nothing. The spirit-gathering array beneath him was still supplying him with pure spiritual energy, and the restrictions outside the cave were intact. He also found nothing when he extended his divine sense. He exhaled a breath of turbid air and then closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Yunxi had already successfully completed her mission and returned to the hive. Mu Zijun's feeling was correct; when the other party felt the spiritual energy was blocked, she had already implanted the sealing rune into the other party's body, and was just waiting for the sealing rune to take effect.

Moreover, judging from Mu Zijun's demeanor, it seems he intends to stay at the sect for a while to consolidate his cultivation, so Yunxi is not worried at all that he will discover that there is a problem with his special physique now.

Whether Mu Zijun knew she had a special constitution or not, she felt that the other party should have noticed something, otherwise they wouldn't have specifically chosen to team up with cultivators whose luck was stronger than theirs. The result of trying to steal the luck of three people was that one person was unable to break through and another was seriously injured, which made her discover the clue.

She had a bad impression of Mu Zijun back on Doufa Peak, especially the fleeting resentment in his eyes after failing to contract with Li Li, and the hatred after being injured by Li Li. Although he concealed it well, how could he escape her powerful divine sense? So after learning that he had unexpectedly obtained a Soul-Replenishing Pill and repaired the injury to his soul, she began to pay attention to him, and now she was able to take the initiative.

Although she sealed Mu Zijun's special physique, she did not withdraw the personnel from the Enforcement Hall to monitor her; the fake Heavenly Dao's alternate account had to be kept under close surveillance.

On the other side, after Wei Yunqing upgraded her natal sword to the level of a spirit treasure, she couldn't wait to let it draw blood. She hunted down a fourth-tier iron-eating beast in the Qinghua Mountains and even took the beast's cub into her possession. Then she went to search for her next training target. However, she didn't realize that after she killed the iron-eating beast, her natal sword absorbed the beast's soul.

For the next five years, Wei Yunqing felt invincible, thriving in the Qinghua Mountains, hunting down many high-level demonic beasts, and acquiring a batch of fine natural treasures, which enriched the contents of the crimson bracelet once again.

What pleased her most was that the sword spirit of her natal sword had awakened. Although the message it conveyed to her was vague, it was able to communicate with her and act on her will, which multiplied the power of her attacks.

That day, she set her sights on a fifth-tier scad in the inner perimeter of the Qinghua Mountains, along with its two cubs. The scad's protective scales and claws were the most precious materials for refining weapons. She wanted to use the scad's scales to refine a set of protective soft armor for herself, and sell the rest to the Weapon Refining Association. She could sell the two baby scads to a spirit beast shop. She didn't want to contract such an ugly spirit beast, even if its combat power was considerable.

Wei Yunqing's plan was perfect, and she even had the help of her natal sword that had awakened a sword spirit. However, she underestimated the power of the fifth-tier scabbard carp. Especially after they started fighting, she realized that the other party's cultivation was at the late stage of the fifth tier. It was clear that the other party had broken through shortly after she had set her sights on it. When she thought about how the "flower in the stone" that the other party was guarding had disappeared, Wei Yunqing was extremely annoyed.

But it was too late for regrets. After she set her sights on the two cubs, the lizard's attacks became increasingly fierce, like it had gone mad, leaving her somewhat flustered.

The advantage that demon cultivators of the same level have over human cultivators lies in their powerful physical bodies. And how could a fifth-level scorpion that can dominate the inner perimeter of the Qinghua Mountains be weak? After a few rounds, Wei Yunqing's proud face was scratched by the scorpion, and she was also hit on the calf by its tail, which broke her calf. She could hear the sound of the bone breaking clearly.

Wei Yunqing was furious and immediately swung her sword to fight back. However, the sharp sword light only knocked the carp away and left some scratches on its scales, without causing any real damage.

After knocking down a giant tree, Shi Lin rolled over and lay on the ground, shaking its head. Its vertical pupils coldly stared at the white-robed female cultivator opposite it. How dare she set her sights on its child! It was determined to tear a piece of flesh from her body.

There were no high-level cultivators to suppress it today. After several rounds of fighting, it realized that the female cultivator opposite it was just a showpiece. If it weren't for her powerful equipment, it wouldn't have been able to break her leg. In the next instant, it twisted its body and avoided a talisman. A huge pit appeared where it had been standing.

Wei Yunqing swallowed the Bone-Healing Pill. While her leg bone healed, she could only throw fourth-grade explosive talismans to buy herself some time. However, the scaly carp was too cunning; it actually avoided her attacks and burrowed underground, instantly disappearing from her consciousness. "Where did it hide?"

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sound beneath her feet. She thrust her natal sword into the ground and hit something hard. She immediately increased the pressure, channeling a continuous stream of spiritual energy into her natal sword.

The next moment, her natal sword suddenly lost its resistance and instantly plunged into the ground, seemingly piercing through something hard. Just as the corners of her lips curled up, she suddenly sensed spatial fluctuations behind her.

"Not good!" Wei Yunqing only had time to utter those two words before she teleported away from where she was standing, without even having time to pull her natal sword from the ground.

Unfortunately, she was too late. This time, the lizard's agile and sharp tail had already broken through her protective aura, directly slashing her waist and abdomen, and severely injuring her dantian.

A scream of agony echoed through the mountains and forests. The next instant, the sword stuck in the ground flew out on its own and blocked Wei Yunqing's second attack from the fifth-tier scaly carp.

With a "sizzle," the sword blade collided with the scaly carp's claws, sparks flying. After the strike separated, the natal sword flew back into its master's hand.

Wei Yunqing gripped her natal sword, glaring fiercely at the carp charging at her again, crushed the teleportation talisman in her hand, and left the center of the Qinghua Mountains.

During the teleportation, Wei Yunqing lost consciousness due to the injury to her dantian. When she reappeared, she was on the sea. Just as she was about to fall into the sea, her natal sword suddenly grew larger and caught the unconscious Wei Yunqing.

After stabilizing its master's body on the sea, the natal sword trembled slightly twice, as if trying to determine its direction. After choosing a direction, it carried its unconscious master and flew towards it.

After confirming that the foolish female cultivator had completely left, Shi Lin burrowed into the ground and dug downwards with all four claws, hiding his child in the deepest part of the earth.

At the same time, Yunxi, who was handling official business in the hive, paused in her hand holding the jade slip. She first frowned, then her lips curled up slightly. She hadn't expected Wei Yunqing to be so badly injured. The ice needles she had left in Wei Yunqing's dantian were impacted and sent into her meridians by the immense force.

"Tsk tsk, the dantian is damaged! This is indeed a good opportunity!"

 My darlings, Fengling is attending a family activity. I'll write another chapter after I get home this afternoon, and then upload it. Please wait a moment! Thank you all for your support~
