Countless paper money scattered from the sky, and pale white prayer flags, along with tombstones and graves, stretched into the distance.

A bonfire lit up on the mountain path.

"[Little Green Deer Trick]."

Chen Xuan carefully compared the two Qi circulation diagrams that appeared in the Small Underworld, found no difference, and immediately memorized them.

Among the four Green Deer Mountain Disciples killed by Wang Chan, two had cultivated Green Qi and learned the same trick inheritance from Green Deer Mountain.

"Next, it's time for the Yellow Millet Dream."

After the Mystic Cat Goddess finished dealing with the underworld matters of the four disciples, she immediately composed herself and approached Wang Chan's headless corpse. She sat upright, as if performing a serious task.

It was the first time Chen Xuan had seen the Mystic Cat adopt such a solemn posture.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the small jade pendant tied with a red string around the Mystic Cat's neck slowly floated up, unfolding like a small book. It flipped through its pages with a rustling sound, and golden light shot out.

"Is this a book?"

Chen Xuan was surprised by the sight. Following the Mystic Cat's gaze, he looked at the small jade book unfolding in the air. It contained columns of ancient seal script written vertically in Yin characters.

"Ancient Peach Blossom Garden Remains, Houtu Underworld Emissary's Record of Heavenly Fate Immortal Seeds - Grand Yin Lineage, Chimera Cat Thirteen."

A line of golden text was written at the very beginning of the page.

Chen Xuan came from a humble background and had only learned a few characters when he practiced martial arts in Willow Town. Therefore, he did not recognize most of these ancient seal characters and could only guess and try to decipher their meaning.

"Ancient Chu Lei Bird Calendar, Year 3600, Tu Month, Ninth Day, Six Desires Heaven suddenly appeared... retreated into the Southern Wilderness..."

Tu Month is the twelfth month.

Following this line of golden text was another line of seal script:

"On the same day, Yellow Millet Dream perished in the Southern Wilderness Ox Horn Mountain, soul unknown whereabouts, perhaps with subsequent events..."

"[Yellow Millet True Scripture] whereabouts unknown, this path is broken..."

Chen Xuan's heart trembled. What did it mean that the soul's whereabouts were unknown?

Moreover, he had clearly memorized the entire [Yellow Millet True Scripture], so how could its whereabouts be unknown!

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw a cyan-gold star glow fly out from Wang Chan's body and fall into the small white jade book.

"Swish swish!"

It was as if someone was holding a brush in the void, quickly writing on the small jade book. Chen Xuan saw characters appearing one after another.

"Heart higher than the sky, fate like paper, Yellow Millet Dream - Low-Grade Immortal Pill!"

The Mystic Cat Goddess's beautiful eyes narrowed. Immediately, her plum blossom-like cat paws closed the small jade book, covering the commentary. She muttered to herself:

"The path of Yellow Millet Dream is already broken. The subsequent fate and luck involved may still cause some turmoil..."

"But a little ripple caused by a Low-Grade Immortal Pill is nothing."

"The future situation of the Ancient Chu Kingdom still depends on these people from the Six Desires Heaven!"

Listening to the Mystic Cat's murmuring, Chen Xuan's heart was in turmoil.

"In this world, there are quite a few of these strange and bizarre Heavenly Fate Immortal Seeds."

According to the commentary in the Small Underworld, Yellow Millet Dream was just a Low-Grade Immortal Pill. Above this, there must be higher levels of existence.

"Swish!"

After the Mystic Cat Goddess finished dealing with the matter in a serious manner, her tense body relaxed.

Then, she turned her head to look at Chen Xuan, who was meditating in the distance, and asked in confusion:

"Is he going to sleep here tonight? Sleeping with a pile of dead people?"

The Mystic Cat Goddess twitched her mouth, revealing a sharp cat tooth. She didn't understand why Chen Xuan didn't leave after the battle. What kind of special habit was this?

"Strange. I think your secrets are no less than Yellow Millet Dream's."

She had watched Chen Xuan all the way from Willow Town and knew many things about him. Now that Yellow Millet Dream had died in his hands, she was firmly convinced that Chen Xuan was not an ordinary Qi Refiner.

"..."

Chen Xuan was speechless. He thought to himself, I'll naturally wake up when you leave.

The Mystic Cat Goddess looked at Chen Xuan suspiciously for a few moments, then moved her four limbs and quickly left... She was very busy tonight. There were still some dead people at Small Stone Lake that needed to be dealt with, and she couldn't stay here any longer.

The black mist went far away, and the Small Underworld disappeared.

"Huh? What happened?"

Chen Xuan was suddenly startled. He found that after the Small Underworld left, the Mind Fast had not ended, and he still had the Mystic Cat's vision!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The ground rapidly receded in Chen Xuan's vision. Soon, a distance of more than ten miles flashed by, and a vast lake, like a bright mirror, gradually came into view.

Small Stone Lake!

Chen Xuan was shocked. He had actually followed the Mystic Cat Goddess to Small Stone Lake!

"The people who died here are also from Green Deer Mountain. Huh, the wounds on the bodies..."

The Mystic Cat Goddess's startled cry reached his ears: "This was also done by Chen Xuan!"

The Mystic Cat Goddess bent down to examine the bodies of Senior Brother Chu and the other three. At a glance, she recognized the wounds caused by the Metal Virtue White Qi and her eyes widened in shock.

Only then did she realize that Chen Xuan had not only killed the Yellow Millet Dream tonight, but before that, he had already clashed with Green Deer Mountain!

In a daze, a scene from her imagination surfaced in her mind. This young man named Chen Xuan walked out of Willow Town on a snowy night, crossed hundreds of miles of snowy wasteland, chased all the way to the Southern Wilderness, killed four Green Deer Mountain Disciples under the moonlight, and then, without stopping, rushed towards the Yellow Millet Dream...

"Counting it up, in just over half a month, eleven Qi Refiners have died by his hand."

The Mystic Cat Goddess murmured to herself, her emotions fluctuating. In her long years of patrolling the mortal world, it would take a long time to encounter such a killing god who paved his way with slaughter, seeking only the clarity of his thoughts.

Chen Xuan was not paying attention to the Mystic Cat Goddess's inner thoughts at this moment. He was thinking about the Mind Fast.

"It should be a change that happened after entering the Yellow Millet Dream. The Mind Fast ability has been enhanced."

"Even without the Small Underworld, I can still possess the Mystic Cat Goddess."

Chen Xuan began to test the limits of this ability. Soon after, the Mystic Cat Goddess finished her work, and Chen Xuan continued to follow her as she left.

The land and forest rapidly receded in his vision.

"Twenty miles..."

After the Mystic Cat Goddess was about twenty miles away from Chen Xuan's physical body, he began to feel his vision gradually blur, and eventually, he was forced to leave the Mystic Cat Goddess's body.

The Mind Fast ended.

At the same time, Chen Xuan was startled to find a light spot in his vision representing the Mystic Cat Goddess's current location, like a moving coordinate point, still continuously moving away from him.

"This light spot represents the movements of the Mystic Cat Goddess."

"As long as she is within twenty miles of me, I can directly possess her body."

Chen Xuan pondered, muttering, "With this ability, I won't have to stay at the scene of the murder in the future. I can enter the Small Underworld from a distance to obtain the trick inheritances..."

Moreover, the Mystic Cat Goddess had already become his eyes. If there was an opportunity, he could use her to observe the surrounding environment and situation...

This was a very convenient ability.

"If the Mind Fast continues to strengthen in the future, and its range continues to expand... will I be able to clearly see even the sun in the sky, like a dragon's eye, and those immortals who reach out from the clouds to drag bronze chains?"

Chen Xuan's mind was filled with fantasies.

"The Mind Fast is incredibly mysterious, and there are more abilities waiting for me to discover... It's no less inferior to the Yellow Millet Dream."

Chen Xuan even felt that the level of the Mind Fast was far above that of the Yellow Millet Dream.

Because, in Wang Chan's dream, the Mind Fast simply did not exist!

In the dream, "Chen Xuan"'s life began with cultivating the Little Firebird Trick, not the Little White Ape Trick obtained from the Small Underworld through the Mind Fast...

The Yellow Millet Dream could not foresee the changes brought about by the Mind Fast!

But the Mind Fast could directly enter the Yellow Millet Dream, and even directly see the [Yellow Millet True Scripture] hidden within it!

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more reasonable his idea seemed. But then, a strong question began to linger in his mind.

"The Yellow Millet Dream, the Six Desires Heaven... are all recorded in the Small Underworld, so why isn't the Mind Fast?"

Chen Xuan felt puzzled: "Are they Heavenly Fate Immortal Seeds, and I, Chen Xuan, am not? Or is it that even the Small Underworld cannot detect the existence of the Mind Fast? Hmph, it's nothing special."

Chen Xuan thought and thought, gradually feeling that his brain wasn't enough, and immediately wisely gave up thinking. He had never liked pondering such matters.

He began to climb the mountain to check the Green Deer Mountain camp.

"Gurgle~"

Soon after, he found a clean large pot in the camp, set it on a fire, and Chen Xuan began to process the Over Mountain Treasure Fish he had caught.

He was going to eat this blood medicine.

"Hmph!"

In a daze, Chen Xuan faintly heard an old, cold snort behind him. His body instantly tensed, and he turned to look.
