Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 302 Retreat
Pei Xia only chose three items.

A piece of blazing sun-kissed black gold, three pieces of night-drooping tongue, and a cauldron for alchemy.

Pei Xia carried the Blazing Sun Black Gold and Night-Twisted Tongue with her at all times. She could have Li Qi send a few people to deliver the alchemy furnace to her later.

As Pei Xia left the treasure vault, she paused at the door, then turned to Ji Shaofu and said, "Hey, is there anything you want? I can take it now, so I'll just give it to you."

Ji Shaofu was taken aback: "Give it to me?"

“Yes,” Pei Xia nodded, “Why not take advantage of a good deal?”

Ji Shaofu stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled helplessly: "No need."

Pei Xia didn't insist: "Okay, Huang Bing doesn't hold anything back from you anyway."

The two left together, and Ji Shaofu quietly asked Pei Xia about her plans for the future.

Pei Xia picked up on what she could say, expressing that she planned to make proper preparations so that she would be more confident when she went to the Liancheng Fire Vein.

Ji Shaofu listened silently.

She also wanted to go to the Liancheng Illusionary Realm, but after watching Pei Xia and Xia Xuan's contest, she felt that she probably would never have such an opportunity again in her life.

She was not Pei Xia; she had already established her own residence, and at this level, she couldn't imagine how she could defeat Pei Xia or Xia Xuan.

Upon exiting the treasure vault, Li Qi was no longer there. Ji Shaofu escorted him to the outside of the main hall. Seeing that Pei Xia was about to leave, she hesitated for a moment and called out, "Pei Xia."

Pei Xia turned her head and looked at her questioningly.

Ji Shaofu took a deep breath and said, "I'm going into seclusion soon, and it might be for a long time."

Pei Xia paused for a moment, then slowly nodded: "That's good, keep it up."

“…Hmm,” Ji Shaofu tried her best to curl the corners of her lips into a smile, “You too.”

The young man held the spiritual materials in his hands, politely lowered his head, then turned around and walked down the mountain along the stone steps.

The wind stirs the sleeves, making them appear elegant and graceful, yet apart from the accompanying clouds and mist, they always reveal a kind of inexplicable loneliness.

Ji Shaofu watched his figure disappear into the distance before finally loosening her tightly clenched hands.

……

The spiritual energy within the cave gradually began to stir, and a wave of intense heat, burning the skin, began to surge forth.

Lu Li stood on a stone table, her porcelain doll-like face tense, her eyes solemn and serious.

Two short fingers joined together struggled to trace across her smooth, delicate back. As the restriction was broken, the last remaining fire serpent opened its mouth, as if roaring silently.

Pear shouted, "I can't handle you anymore!"

He suddenly raised his hand, like a fisherman casting a line, and completely pulled the last long, fiery serpent from Han Youzhi's skin!
A scorching wave of air suddenly spread out.

Han Youzhi, who had been keeping her head down, finally slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes faintly gleaming with spiritual energy.

Since the underground palace was sealed, the snake keeper did not restrict Han Youzhi's cultivation and spiritual power because Pei Xia never activated it.

However, not restricting and being able to are two different things. Han Youzhi was very clear that the domineering nature of this restriction was like a lock placed inside her body. If Pei Xia intended to control her, even with his cultivation level of Transformation Realm, he would not be able to exert any influence.

Now that the shackles are gone, Han Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Pear plopped down on the table and wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead.

Although it was Pei Xia who requested the lifting of the restriction, Li Zi gradually discovered that in the process, her sixth-realm Su Master realm became more and more stable.

This sorceress's unique method of snake breeding is indeed very profound and ingenious. Her step-by-step analysis and extraction greatly benefited the already intelligent Pear.

Familiar footsteps came from outside the cave, and Han Youzhi quickly got up and put on her clothes.

Slightly rushed, Pei Xia's clothes were disheveled when she arrived, revealing one of her round, snow-white shoulders.

Sensing Pei Xia's gaze, Old Han blushed slightly and pulled up his clothes: "Didn't you even ask if I could come in first?" "It's my cave, do I need to ask you?" Pei Xia retorted without backing down.

After saying that, he walked straight to the alchemy chamber inside the cave.

After breaking through to the Profound Realm, he hadn't used this alchemy room for a while. When he opened it now, the alchemy furnace was covered in dust.

He turned to Han Youzhi and said, "The main peak sent over a good furnace. You can throw this one out and bring in the new one later."

As Han Youzhi straightened her clothes, she whispered to herself, "You're really treating me like a servant now."

Pei Xia blinked: "Otherwise what?"

Old Han stretched his neck and poked himself with his thumb: "I am the White-Clad Heavenly Sense!"

"Wasn't he kicked out?"

Pei Xia was looking around the alchemy room when she hesitated for a moment, then turned to Han Youzhi and asked, "You are..."

Han Youzhi calmed himself down and looked at Pei Xia with equally deep eyes. He said seriously, "The snake breeder has been eliminated. It's time for me to try to return to the Heavenly Consciousness Realm."

Han Youzhi sacrificed his magical artifact in exchange for a precious "Immortal's Guidance" pill in the Jade Palace of Qiongxiao, all in order to break through the Transformation Yuan limit and return to the Heavenly Consciousness Realm.

However, there have always been many unstable factors hindering her.

First, he entered the belly of the sea god to patrol, and after leaving, he arrived in Dongzhou for the first time. He had only been in Changjingmen for a short time when there were hidden dangers in all aspects.

Now that the snake breeder has been eliminated, thanks to Pei Xia's top-notch performance in the four-faction martial arts competition, the entire Changjing Sect now holds Elder Pei's branch in high esteem.

Moreover, Pei Xia's cave dwelling was originally prepared for breaking through to the Profound Realm, so it was well-prepared in terms of concealment and other aspects.

The right time, the right place, and the right people are all in place.

There's no better time than now.

Pei Xia nodded: "When do you plan to go into seclusion?"

"Let's do it in the next few days, while you're still in the sect and can help me protect you."

"Actually, it's fine even if I'm not here. With Tian Shi here, Huang Bing will risk his life to protect you."

This is already an overly cautious consideration.

This is Dongzhou, where few people know of Baiyi Tianshi's reputation, and even fewer know of Han Youzhi's name. The possibility of encountering external threats during his breakthrough is very small.

"I haven't personally witnessed the so-called divine consciousness breaking free of its cocoon, there will be that, that..." Pei Xia thought for a moment, "...a celestial phenomenon?"

"The spiritual energy phenomena visible to the naked eye are not significant; at most, they might appear in the Changjingmen mountain range, but..."

Han Youzhi's expression was not relaxed either: "Although ordinary cultivators cannot observe the breaking of the divine sense, it is difficult to hide it from the other divine senses in a province."

In other words, either no one comes to cause trouble.

If you have that kind of talent, you won't be a nobody.

"It should be alright, Dongzhou is a lawless place..."

Pei Xia muttered a few words, then squinted her eyes as if thinking about something: "I can think of a way for you."

Han Youzhi looked at him, almost wanting to laugh.

If a Transcendent Realm cultivator were to encounter a Heavenly Sense, what could he possibly do?
But for some reason, hearing Pei Xia say those words made me feel inexplicably at ease.

There was something Han Youzhi was reluctant to admit: ever since their reunion in Youzhou, the journey had taken her to "become that majestic Tian Shi Jing again," and it seemed that this was no longer something so important and irreplaceable to her.

Old Han grinned and said, "If we fail, I'll just stay at the Changjing Sect as a guest elder. My status can't be lower than yours, right?"

Pei Xia clicked her tongue: "Hard to say."
