Chapter 82: Enemies on a Narrow Path

Over a day and a night, Yi Qianmo killed nearly ten spirit beasts, eight of which were fourth-level spirit beasts, and the other two were fifth-level spirit beasts.

The non-stop battles rewarded Yi Qianmo greatly; just from the fourth-level spirit beasts, he earned three hundred twenty points, and the two fifth-level spirit beasts added another one hundred points. Now, Yi Qianmo had four hundred twenty points, and this was only the first day, with a third of the time passed.

He had already reached half of his expected points.

However, he also faced a problem. Although the two days of relentless fighting earned him points and sharpened his combat skills,

His spiritual power was nearly depleted.

At that moment, aside from the spiritual power needed to maintain the Pure Spirit Fire restriction, there was not a trace of spiritual power left in his veins.

Right now, if we encounter a spirit beast, even a first-grade third-level spirit beast of the same level, it would be very dangerous.

"If Old Bai hadn’t swallowed the spirit stone, I wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing situation now!"

Yi Qianmo smiled wryly.

Although there is spirit Qi in the Yanshan Mountains, it would take at least half a month to restore full spiritual power.

By the time half a month passes, it would be too late, and besides, the Hunting Ground here belongs to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, so not just anyone can enter.

He does have a lot of precious spirit herbs, but using them directly would be a waste.

He wanted to use them to make pills, but the problem is he doesn’t have a Pill Furnace; without one, it’s impossible to make a high-level pill like the Body Origin Fixing Pill.

"I underestimated this big exam, and I haven’t prepared enough!"

Yi Qianmo felt a bit of a headache.

This big exam gathered cultivators from all over the Yan Kingdom, truly a place full of talents. Not to mention that Xu Zhou, there should be other geniuses like him who want to keep a low profile.

Just as he was troubled by the lack of spirit stones, he suddenly heard loud sounds of fighting in the distance.

Yi Qianmo’s eyes lit up, and he immediately followed the sound. In the distance, he saw three cultivators surrounding a fifth-level Green-haired Monkey.

Although all three of them were at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, they fought with great difficulty. However, the Green-haired Monkey was already badly injured, and it was only a matter of time before it was killed.

"Hmm, it’s him."

Yi Qianmo glanced over and recognized one of the three; it was Guan Shanqing, whom he had met in Tianyuan Academy.

But the other two cultivators beside him were somewhat unfamiliar. Just as Guan Shanqing had said, his strength was not weak, but he was far from being able to sense the golden spiritual light.

However, his combat skills were impressive; among the three, Guan Shanqing was the strongest.

About half an hour passed, and the Green-haired Monkey let out a miserable cry before crashing to the ground. At this moment, the three warriors, including Guan Hanqing, were all covered in injuries.

Especially Guan Shanqing, who was seriously hurt. After he killed the Green-haired Monkey, he didn’t even have time to collect its essence and blood before sitting down on the ground to recover using a spirit stone.

Seeing this, Yi Qianmo turned to leave. Although the test had no rules, he couldn’t bring himself to steal someone else’s prey.

However, just as he turned around, he suddenly heard Guan Shanqing’s angry voice behind him, "What are you doing?"

Yi Qianmo looked back and saw that the two cultivators with Guan Shanqing suddenly attacked and subdued him. One of the cultivators stepped on Guan Shanqing’s body and said, "What did you say we were going to do?"

"How would I know what you are doing? Did we not agree to team up to hunt the spirit beast and share the materials evenly?"

Guan Shanqing said angrily.

"Share evenly?"

The other cultivator laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, we don’t want to share with you, especially since…"

"Aren’t you afraid of getting caught by the examiner?"

Guan Shanqing was extremely angry.

"Childish!"

Stepping on him, the cultivator said, "Didn’t you hear the examiner say when you arrived? The rule of this big exam is that there are no rules!"

As he said this, another cultivator had already taken the spiritual blood of the Green-haired Monkey and the greenest tuft of hair from its body, walking up to Guan Shanqing and searching him for a bag.

"It really is a storage bag!"

The cultivator held the bag, his face showing surprise, "I never expected that this low-level unaffiliated cultivator would actually have a storage bag!"

"Give it back to me, it’s an ancestral treasure of my Guan family, you can’t…"

Guan Hanqing shouted, his eyes turning red.

But he couldn’t finish his words before the cultivator stomped heavily on his chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and leaving him unable to speak from the pain.

"Why not just kill him? This guy has tested positive for golden spiritual light."

Said the cultivator holding the storage bag.

"There is no need; this is only the first day. In these Yanshan Mountains, without spiritual power, it is no different from being dead!"

The cultivator stepped on Guan Shanqing and said, "In this storage bag, there are all his spirit stones. If we take away his spirit stones, he will surely die!"

Guan Shanqing’s face was ashen, his eyes full of despair. In the past two days, he teamed up with these two cultivators and hunted many spirit beasts. After killing the Green-haired Monkey, he was not only injured, but also completely drained of his spiritual power.

If all his spirit stones were really taken away, he would definitely die. But he did not want to die; he came to Tianyuan Academy carrying the hopes of his entire family.

If he were to die, the enemies of the Guan family would immediately come to seek revenge.

"You can keep the storage bag; you can have everything else!"

Guan Shanqing said, "This is… an ancestral item of my Guan family. You… you cannot take it away."

"Bang!"

What answered him was a heavy kick from the cultivator, striking his forehead and causing him to nearly faint.

He vaguely saw two cultivators laughing as they left, while he lay on the ground, unable to move.

Yi Qianmo, watching this from a distance, sighed. He hadn’t wanted to get involved, especially since his spiritual power had just returned, and he was still at less than one-tenth of his strength.

But Guan Shanqing’s situation reminded him of his own, and Guan Shanqing was indeed a good person.

"Stop right there!"

Just as Guan Shanqing lost consciousness, Yi Qianmo stepped forward.

The two cultivators frowned; when they saw Yi Qianmo, their faces showed surprise. As Yi Qianmo approached them, he felt they looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen them.

"It’s you!!!"

The cultivator holding the storage bag said, "What a small world, running into you here."

"Do you know me?"

Yi Qianmo was a bit surprised. "Whether you know me or not, leave the storage bag, and you can go!"

"Hahaha."

Another cultivator looked at him with a smirk. "You? A third level in the Qi Refining Stage, testing with a light yellow spiritual aura, an unaffiliated cultivator dares to speak here?"

"I don’t want to kill anyone!"

Yi Qianmo said, "If you don’t want to die, then leave the things behind, and I can pretend I saw nothing."

"Hahaha…"

The two began to laugh. The cultivator with the storage bag said with a smile, "Originally, my senior brother was going to find you, but I didn’t expect you to come to us, so we will take care of you for my senior brother!"

"Hmm?"

Yi Qianmo asked in confusion, "Senior brother?"

"Lianshan Sect Xu Zhou is our senior brother," another cultivator said.

"So you are Xu Zhou’s dog!"

Yi Qianmo suddenly understood, "So you are saying that Xu Zhou suggested you team up with Guan Shanqing?"

"Exactly, our senior brother ordered us to search for Guan Shanqing on Yan Mountain and team up with him, and then try to ambush him. We really did find him."

The cultivator with the storage bag said, "This is also his fate, and yours too. You could have hidden and pretended to see nothing, but you chose to come out. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, we will…"

"Clang!"

The flash of a sword interrupted the cultivator’s words before he could finish.

"You talk too much!"

Yi Qianmo held one hand on Repel Evil and grabbed the storage bag from his hand with the other.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "gurgle," and the cultivator’s head rolled to the ground.
