A Petty Person

"Ah... Pale Skull, Demon Cloud Spewing Mist, kill!"

The Flying Yaksha roared, using its essence blood to refine a Spirit Item that spewed poisonous smoke, attacking Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan snorted, stepping on the Flying Yaksha's back. He used both hands forcefully, and with a scream, directly tore off the two fleshy wings on its back.

As for the poisonous smoke spewed by the Spirit Item, Fang Xuan directly punched it. Accompanied by a violent airflow, the poisonous smoke was directly dispersed.

It wasn't that Fang Xuan was too strong, nor was the Spirit Item too useless.

Using a Spirit Item requires the support of magic power. Although the Flying Yaksha was powerful, it hadn't yet developed magic power and become an Asura. Naturally, it couldn't unleash the full power of this Pale Skeleton.

Grabbing the Pale Skeleton in his hand, he stomped his foot, and the Flying Yaksha's head exploded like a watermelon, instantly killing it.

"Big Sister, are you alright?" Fang Xuan ran over and helped Fang Qingxue up.

"I'm fine, just exhausted. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Where's that Flying Yaksha?"

"Dead."

Fang Qingxue took a deep look at her younger brother. To slaughter a Flying Yaksha at the Body Tempering Realm's Divine Courage Realm, this was beyond what could be described as a heaven-sent prodigy. There must be some fortuitous encounter involved.

But who doesn't have a few secrets?

Her ability to unleash the power of the Mystic Divine Realm was also like this, not to be questioned further.

"Let's go, Big Sister. I'll carry you back. It's too dangerous here."

"Okay."

Fang Xuan helped Fang Qingxue onto his back and quickly ran towards the exit.

Half an hour later, he leaped back to the surface.

The Shen siblings were still waiting in the desert. Seeing Fang Qingxue's miserable state, they were also greatly shocked.

"Qing Xue, what happened to you? What happened?" Shen Hao exclaimed.

Fang Qingxue shook her head and said, "It's nothing, just some superficial wounds, it's fine."

Fang Xuan 'explained', "We startled that group of Yakshas and had no choice but to escape. If Big Sister hadn't protected me, I might have stayed in this underground world. Big Sister also got injured because of me."

"It's good that you're alright. I told you before that those Yakshas are not something we can deal with. By the way, did you find out why the Yakshas are gathered on the outskirts of the underground world?"

"No, we were discovered before we even got close. If we were any slower, we really wouldn't have made it back," Fang Xuan shook his head.

One must be wary of others.

Both of them had great secrets. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to kill a squad of Yaksha soldiers and finally suppress and kill a Flying Yaksha. This was something they simply couldn't have done at their cultivation level.

Especially since they also obtained an Essence Bloodstone and the Spirit Item Pale Skeleton in the end. One was a treasure that could increase cultivation, and the other was a Spirit Item.

Magic Treasures are divided into Magic Items, Spirit Items, Treasure Items, Dao Items, and Immortal Items.

Magic Items are artifacts infused with magic power. Any expert in the Mystic Divine Realm who possesses magic power can refine them.

Spirit Items, on the other hand, can only be refined by experts who have cultivated to the fifth level of the Mystic Divine Realm, the Heavenly Human Realm, and can use magic power to set up large formations and inscribe magic power formations on items.

A Spirit Item has immense power and is a coveted defensive artifact for cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm.

Just like this Pale Skeleton, after being refined with a Blood Offering by an ordinary person, it can be controlled by will, spewing demon mist, dissolving bones and devouring souls, and killing enemies. One person can face a thousand troops and ten thousand horses with composure.

If this Spirit Item were to fall into a secular dynasty, it would be easy to use it to secure a position as a Duke or Marquis, enjoying wealth and glory for generations.

Just like this Shen Hao, if he could obtain a Spirit Item and return to the Great Li Dynasty, he might even be able to shake the Crown Prince's position and become the heir apparent.

It was truly invaluable.

Even among the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Yuhua Sect, only some outstanding inner disciples could possess them. Outer disciples could not possibly possess Spirit Items, at most they would have ordinary Magic Items.

Shen Ruolan said anxiously from the side, "Qing Xue is too seriously injured, we should return to the sect as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Shen Ruolan used a Spirit Beast Jade Token to communicate with the cranes. Not long after, accompanied by two crane calls, the cranes that had gone out to forage returned.

The four of them sat on the cranes and flew towards the Yuhua Sect.

"Fang Xuan, you take Qing Xue to heal. I'll go to the Inner Immortal Courtyard to report about the Yaksha team," Shen Hao said anxiously.

Fang Xuan frowned. Shen Hao was too anxious.

A group of Yakshas suddenly appearing on the outskirts of the underground world looked suspicious no matter how you looked at it. Reporting it to the sect, if it was truly a major event, would be a contribution.

But Shen Hao was too anxious, and he deliberately didn't bring Fang Xuan and Fang Qingxue, fearing that the credit would be shared. This was a bit unsightly!

Unfortunately, all the treasures were taken by him. You wouldn't even get to drink the foot-washing water.

Fang Xuan took a deep look at Shen Hao and nodded, "Alright, Big Sister's injuries are important."

After saying that, he helped Fang Qingxue jump off the crane and walked towards the courtyard. Shen Hao took Shen Ruolan and left on the crane without stopping.

"Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness, a petty person," Fang Qingxue sneered.

Fang Xuan shrugged and said, "This is good too, at least we can see this person clearly in the future."

On the crane, Shen Ruolan looked a little guilty and said in a deep voice, "Imperial Brother, is it not good for us to do this?"

Shen Hao looked at Shen Ruolan expressionlessly and said, "Ruolan, do you remember what that elder said during the outer assessment? The path of immortality is a road of no return. It is never about being carefree and riding cranes leisurely, but a path of overcoming obstacles, slaying illusions, and seeking the true self. To achieve eternal life, one must be brave and forge ahead, seizing resources."

"But what if there's nothing?"

"Impossible. So many Yakshas suddenly appearing on the outskirts of the Underground World must mean there's some hidden secret. Whatever it is, it's our opportunity. As long as we tell Senior Brother Yuan about this, I can get a connection to Tiandu Peak. With my talent, I'll definitely become an inner disciple and step into the Mystic Divine Realm. By then, no throne, no prince, will be able to suppress us siblings, and Father won't force you into a marriage." Shen Hao said excitedly.

Shen Ruolan's eyes also showed a look of longing, and she nodded heavily, saying, "Okay, Third Brother, you can definitely do it."

Fang Qingxue's injuries were very serious. Forcibly using a Mystic Divine Realm move at the Body Tempering Realm would definitely come at a cost. Afterwards, she was toyed with by the Flying Yaksha, and many of her bones were broken.

Fang Xuan thought for a moment, took out the Nine Dragons Stone, and handed it over, saying, "Big Sister, this item has healing effects. You try it first."

"Okay."

Fang Qingxue didn't refuse. She reached out and took the Nine Dragons Stone, holding it in her palm.

She sat cross-legged on the futon and activated the strange power within the Nine Dragons Stone.

As the strange power entered her body, it quickly repaired the damage caused by the previous battle.

Broken tendons and bones, shaken internal organs, torn muscles... were rapidly repaired under this strange power.
