After settling their plans, the Spicy Charm Mercenary Group's party of seven turned south.
Along the way, Spicy Lady used the Azure Spirit Eagle as a scout, choosing first-tier late stage demonic beasts to attack, specifically those with fixed territories.
Generally speaking, first-tier late stage demonic beasts with fixed territories were roughly comparable in strength to cultivators at the Qi Condensation eighth or ninth layer.
Moreover, a first-tier late stage demonic beast with a fixed territory often meant there was a first-grade high-rank spirit plant, or, at the very worst, a first-rank mid-grade spirit plant.
The group hunted demon beasts and harvested spirit plants as they headed south.
Apart from their rest periods, they fought throughout the journey, traveling more than three hundred li south each day.
Over a dozen days later, they had traveled five thousand li south and reached the boundary between the central and southern sections of the Sky Yin Mountain Range.
Spicy Lady said, "That valley ten li ahead is our destination."
"Everyone, sit down and rest. We'll move as soon as we've recovered our spiritual power."
Li Qingyuan sat cross-legged with a spirit stone in his hand, circulating the Great Spring Technique to refine it and recover his spiritual power as quickly as possible.
Two quarters of an hour-half an hour-later, Li Qingyuan had refined the spirit stone and recovered most of his spiritual power. He said, "I wonder if the Phantom God Mushroom is still there after two whole years?"
Charm Lady walked over. As she sat down, her full breasts quivered, threatening to spill out in an expanse of snowy white. A beautiful woman of forty, she was still a charming, mature beauty with considerable allure.
Her waist was slender, while her bottom was round and large, like a millstone.
Charm Lady giggled.
