Chapter 80

Why are you advertising?

Why are you advertising at a time like this?

“Can you pick a better moment to speak?” Chuxing’s sword swung forcefully towards the beast, but the blade, which usually sliced through iron like mud, felt like it hit a steel wall, causing no harm whatsoever.

Ye Qiao thought she had chosen the perfect time for advertising. When else could she promote her wares? Should she wait until she exited the secret realm?

The scene of five Golden Core stage cultivators working together to slay a Yuan Ying stage beast was rare, so the attention of the onlookers was fully drawn to it, with Ye Qiao being the most notable.

“Changming Sect’s pills? Oh, they also have alchemists.”

Changming Sect did have alchemists, but the pills from the Bishui Sectwere the most famous among the five sects. Hearing Ye Qiao’s promotion, the onlookers didn’t immediately react.

The Yuan Ying stage beast had thick skin. Besides Zhou Xingyun, who could inflict damage, Chuxing and Mu Chongxi needed to rely on their sword techniques. The Sword Sect’s sword techniques were divided into ten forms. With a clash of white sword shadows, they struck in unison.

Mu Chongxi, unwilling to fall behind, used the Clear Breeze Sword Technique. Although it looked gentle, it swiftly severed one of the beast’s arms.

“I’m faster than you,” he shouted.

Chuxing: “Could you manage without me?”

The two were even comparing their skills.

“Chuxing is very strong. If it came to a real fight, he might be on par with Mu Chongxi, who has innate sword bones,” said a fan of the Sword Sect.

“He’s been in the mid-Golden Core stage for a while. Mu Chongxi is only sixteen, right? Our kid is still young,” said a fan of the Changming Sect.

“I’d love to see them fight, but that’s not happening right now.”

Indeed, it wasn’t happening.

After dealing with the Yuan Ying stage beast, they had spent over half a day. As dawn began to break, the two sects exchanged glances and decided to temporarily cease fighting.

The beast’s bones were shared between Chuxing and the others, but the inner core was taken by the Changming Sect.

Chuxing opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by his little sister, Zhu You. She shook her head silently, “They have more people than we do.”

It was better to be wise and cautious in this situation.

Chuxing could only grudgingly fall silent.

The four from the Changming Sect sat back-to-back, exhausted and subdued. They all took a Clear Heart Pill, calming down before discussing other matters.

“Where did you get so many pills?” Mu Chongxi poked Ye Qiao. They had all seen her taking pills.

Ye Qiao could last so long solely because of the pills.

“I made them myself.” Ye Qiao had always understood the value of self-reliance.

“Oh.” Mu Chongxi responded calmly.

Wait.

A minute later.

“Ah?” The three of them suddenly reacted, turning to look at her in unison.

Their loud “Ah” startled Chuxing, who glanced over in displeasure: “What’s wrong with you?”

It was the middle of the night, and the sudden noise was jarring.

“Hahaha…” Ming Xuan, meeting the curious gazes of the Sword Sect members, gave a dry laugh. “Our little sister has gone crazy. I’ll go talk to her.”

With that, he grabbed her by the neck, skillfully pulling her aside for a private conversation.

He lowered his voice seriously: “What are you talking about?”

Ye Qiao: “Do you remember that particularly awful thing?”

Mu Chongxi: “I remember. It’s unforgettable.”

The fact that Elder Zhao could utter the words “cooked excrement” showed just how bad it was.

“I made it,” Ye Qiao blinked and hinted wildly, “From now on, please refer to me as: a low-profile genius. Thank you.”
