Only after Jiang Yue Bai left and he confirmed that her aura had vanished,
did Li Ping'an come out.
He was at a crucial juncture in his cultivation, and he did not want anything to go wrong.
Li Ping'an searched the four corpses. They had come out in a hurry.
There was little worth taking on them: just over twenty Spirit Stones and a few Qi-Blood Pills altogether.
So poor~
Li Ping'an grumbled.
Over there, Old Ox had already dug the pit.
To prevent anything on them from being tracked, Li Ping'an also burned all four sets of clothes.
Old Ox tossed the corpses into the pit and buried them under stones first. Professionalism was the name of the game.
Once everything was dealt with, Li Ping'an returned to the cave.
He erased his footprints as he walked.
"Activate stealth mode," he murmured.
He blocked the entrance with a large stone from inside the cave that weighed several hundred jin and sealed the only window.
It allowed air to circulate while making the cave difficult to discover.
The cave was pitch-black, without a trace of light.
Darkness wrapped Li Ping'an and Old Ox tightly like a blanket.
Li Ping'an began meditating and cultivating. He had nearly seven hundred Spirit Stones left.
He would strive to raise his chances of breaking through in the Mud Pellet from ninety percent to a hundred percent.
More than a month flew by.
The autumn wind had turned brisk, carrying a cool chill.
Li Ping'an exhaled a breath of turbid air. Not a ray of sunlight shone through the entrance.
Inside the cave, it was so dark that he could not see his hand before his face.
Finally... it was time.
Li Ping'an could feel that the moment had come to advance his Mud Pellet
