God-Slaying Blade

Fire phoenix fruit is not difficult to pick.

Qin Jue unleashed a suction force from his palm, pulling the two Fire Phoenix Fruits into his hand.

"It's a really good thing, it's just a pity there are only two."

Somewhat dissatisfied, Qin Jue put the Fire Phoenix Fruit into his storage ring before leaping across the lava pool and heading outside.

Outside the cave.

Big White perked up its ears and looked delighted.

"Awoo."

"Little Jue, you've finally come out!" Da Bai laughed.

Seeing Da Bai howling towards the cave, Zhao Qingmeng's face lit up with joy: "Is Xiao Jue coming out?"

"Yeah, yeah," Big White responded.

Overjoyed, Zhao Qingmeng was about to rush inside when she froze, her face flushing crimson...

The thought of yesterday made her so embarrassed she wanted to die.

If she had known, she would have listened to Da Bai and not gone in...

"Now I just hope Xiao Jue doesn't know I went in!" Zhao Qingmeng prayed silently.

But she also knew in her heart that with Qin Jue's keen insight, the sound of her hitting the ground was enough to alert him...

Qin Jue didn't ask her how she was, perhaps pretending not to know, to avoid making things even more awkward between them.

"Why did I have to think so clearly?"

Zhao Qingmeng felt a surge of bitterness.

"Heh, Big White, sister-in-law, I'm out." Qin Jue's laughter came from inside the cave, and soon he came out as well.

"Awoo—" Big White looked at Qin Jue in confusion and asked him why he was bald.

Qin Jue coughed lightly and said, "When I subdued the spirit fire, my hair was burned off by it."

Da Bai was taken aback, only then realizing that Qin Jue had also changed his clothes.

"Awooo..."

"No wonder your sister-in-law's face was all red when she came out yesterday. She must have seen something she shouldn't have." Da Bai's eyes became playful.

Qin Jue looked helpless.

"Ahem, Xiao Jue, did you succeed?" Zhao Qingmeng asked with a light cough.

Although she didn't know what Big White was howling about, she had a feeling that some of the conversation between the human and the wolf might be related to her.

Because Big White glanced at her with a half-smile...

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I have successfully refined that ball of heaven and earth spiritual fire. Moreover, I also obtained two Fire Phoenix Fruits. I will share them with you when we get back."

Zhao Qingmeng quickly said, "No need, you can keep it yourself. Now that this matter is settled, let's go down the mountain. We still have more than a day, and perhaps we can gain something else."

"Yes, that's what I think too," Qin Jue said with a smile.

Immediately, Zhao Qingmeng climbed back onto Da Bai's back, while Qin Jue flew down into the mountains and forests below.

Neither of them mentioned Qin Jue's naked body...

After entering the mountains and forests, Qin Jue spread his spiritual sense, covering an area of ​​five miles in radius.

Any fluctuation of spiritual energy cannot escape his perception.

With only a little over a day left, Qin Jue no longer intended to waste time on ordinary spiritual materials.

If you're going to pick something, pick the real rare and precious treasures!

So sometimes he would fly several miles before bending down into the forest to collect the herbs.

Da Bai and Zhao Qingmeng were below, mainly killing the alien beasts and collecting their corpses.

With such high efficiency in treasure hunting, the harvest was quite good in just half a day.

But Qin Jue was also exhausted.

Continuous flight and the dissipation of spiritual energy both consume a great deal of spiritual power and spiritual awareness.

"Sister-in-law, there's a valley about five miles ahead. Let's go there to rest and recover a bit," Qin Jue said with a light laugh as he landed on a treetop above Zhao Qingmeng's head.

"Okay!" Zhao Qingmeng laughed, looking up.

"Then I'll go first."

Qin Jue smiled, stepped on the waves of trees, and sped away.

"what?"

Upon arriving at the valley, Qin Jue raised an eyebrow slightly.

Swish!

Qin Jue raised his right hand, and the God-Slaying Blade was in his grasp.

"Sister Qingxue, this valley seems a bit strange. My spiritual sense can detect a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. But this fluctuation is extremely subtle. Moreover, there is clearly nothing in front of us that could cause such a fluctuation of spiritual energy," Qin Jue said, puzzled.

If you're unsure what to do, just ask Sister Qingxue.

This had long become Qin Jue's habit, and Liu Qingxue had never disappointed him.

Liu Qingxue smiled and said, "This is the power of a barrier. It's similar to an array or a barrier, but it's more sophisticated than an array. If you walk directly through it, this barrier will pass through you as if it were nothing. But if you wrap yourself in spiritual power and take ten steps forward, you will enter the barrier and see something completely different from what you see in this valley."

Qin Jue was surprised and chuckled, "The path of spiritual cultivation is indeed infinitely mysterious. If I hadn't met Sister Qingxue, how would I have known about these wondrous things?"

"Hmph, now you realize how good I am? Just now you drew the God-Slaying Blade and mercilessly sent me to the dark room." Liu Qingxue's voice was tinged with resentment.

Qin Jue touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Weren't we in a hurry to get out at the time?"

At this moment, Da Bai, carrying Zhao Qingmeng, suddenly burst out of the mountains and forests.

"Sister-in-law, you and Da Bai can rest here. There's a barrier here. I'll go in and take a look first. If there's no danger inside, I'll come out and get you to go in together," Qin Jue said with a smile.

"A barrier? What's that?" Zhao Qingmeng asked in surprise.

For many martial arts practitioners, the existence of barriers is unheard of.

After all, only highly accomplished spiritual practitioners typically set up protective barriers.

In Fengzhou, and even in the current Kyushu Martial Dynasty, no one has been able to set up a barrier.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "I don't know how to explain it either, but it's something that's similar to an array but not an array."

"Oh, go ahead then, but be careful. By the way, do you... want to wear a hat?" Zhao Qingmeng looked at Qin Jue's bald head, finding it increasingly strange, and couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Jue touched his bald head and chuckled, "I think I have a bamboo hat."

With a thought, a bamboo hat appeared in his hand.

He casually put the hat on his head and then pulled the brim down slightly.

"Heh, it looks much better than before," Zhao Qingmeng said with a smile.

Qin Jue chuckled, and his spiritual power surged, making his entire body appear as if it were coated with a thin layer of gold.

Zhao Qingmeng's eyes widened in shock.

This golden color is definitely not internal energy!

"Xiao Jue, could it be that you...?"

"Yes, I had already entered the Spirit Realm before entering the Secret Realm. Leng Xuanting didn't escape; I killed him. But there's no need for too many people to know about these two things," Qin Jue said with a faint smile.

Zhao Qingmeng solemnly replied, "Yes, I won't tell anyone!"

Qin Jue didn't say anything more and walked forward.

Ten steps later, his body suddenly dissolved into space, disappearing from Zhao Qingmeng's sight.

Zhao Qingmeng took a deep breath and said, "This barrier is so magical. Martial arts are mysterious; there are so many things I don't know."

"Awoo!" Big White barked at Zhao Qingmeng.

Zhao Qingmeng smiled helplessly: "Unfortunately, I can't understand what you're saying."

Big white eyes blinked, and it rubbed against Zhao Qingmeng's chest.

Zhao Qingmeng blushed and said, "You're probably just trying to comfort me, right? Don't worry, I was just expressing my feelings. Being able to stay by your and Xiao Jue's side makes me much luckier than others."

At this moment, Qin Jue, who had entered the barrier, was stunned...
