Within the inner cave abode of Qinghua Pond.
Cultivating atop a Second-order Spirit Vein truly was different; it was much faster than in the outer regions.
Ever since Liu Hanyue had left, Li Qing had moved in without delay. The cave abode was completely bare, but he did not need many things.
He merely set out the artifact refining furnace and left a spacious hidden chamber for Rice Bucket. Most of the remaining rooms stood empty.
Li Qing was not particularly particular about living arrangements. Accustomed to arduous cultivation, he naturally had no desire to spend effort on decorations. He truly had the bearing of an ascetic cultivator.
Of course, no matter how crude it was, it did not change the fact that this place sat upon a Second-order Spirit Vein!
After finishing a day of meditation and Qi refinement, Li Qing unhurriedly took an ink-black Storage Bag from his waist.
This Storage Bag was precisely what he had obtained after helping Liu Hanyue stand guard and killing a remnant of the Shi Family.
"Though he was a remnant of the Shi Family, the Shi Family had once been a rather renowned Cultivation Noble Family."
"After the Shi Family fell, these people took up the trade of Bandit Cultivators. Their collection should not be too shabby."
Saying this, Li Qing opened the Storage Bag with great anticipation.
Over the years, he had acquired several other people's Storage Bags, but whenever he inventoried his spoils, a thrill of harvest always arose within him.
"No wonder Bandit Cultivators could never be fully eradicated and always kept popping up. The feeling of gaining without labor really is quite nice." Li Qing sighed, reminding himself that he absolutely could not be deceived by such a feeling and must hold fast to his true heart.
