A Chase Across a Thousand Li

Spring passed and autumn came; in just one year, Shen Ge successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Of course, that's because he didn't cultivate properly, since his older sister Su Sui, that little brat, was only with him for a month before being handed over to him again.

It's not that he's impatient with teaching, it's just that he really doesn't have time to cultivate properly anymore. Even Mu Wan, whose aptitude is not as good as his, has reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

However, this year has allowed many people to adjust their mindset. Although no one will forget the death of their fellow disciple, most will no longer mention the topic or show it.

"Let's go, Senior Brother Li Kui's Blood Jade Peach are ripe, and he's inviting us to a peach tasting party," Mu Wan said, standing in the air and looking at Shen Ge, who was holding Su Sui's hand.

"Let's go then. I've been looking forward to this for so long. It's said that it only bears fruit once every twenty years, and its spiritual energy is comparable to a second-grade pill. Maybe eating a few of them will improve our cultivation level."

Su Sui, standing to the side, shook Shen Ge's arm and asked, "Brother, brother, what are you talking about? What is Blood Jade Peach? Is it the peaches in your room? Can Su Su eat it?"

This barrage of questions left Shen Ge speechless. She could only smile and say, "Su Su, you come too, but don't eat too much!"

"Su Su won't eat too much. If brother says to stop, Su Su won't eat anymore." Su Sui's obedient look made you want to pinch her cheeks.

She's only about four years old now. Although her cultivation has reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, she's still too young to be independent. Shen Ge will probably only be able to let her move around on her own when she turns six.

Once aboard their flying swords, the group quickly arrived at Spirit Medicine Peak. As soon as they arrived, Shen Ge smelled the rich medicinal fragrance in the air, feeling refreshed and as if his cultivation had subtly increased.

"As expected of Spirit Medicine Peak, the medicinal power of the various spirit medicine grown here gathers in the air and never dissipates. Just one whiff of it is comparable to a pot of spiritual wine that costs twenty Spirit Stone."

"If it weren't for the fact that closed-door cultivation isn't prohibited here, I would have moved here to cultivate."

"What level of cultivation do you have? Still daydreaming? Do you think you're more valuable than any of the spirit medicine here? You want to come here and compete with these spirit medicine for spiritual power? If anything happens to these spirit medicine, you won't be able to afford to compensate them even if you have a hundred years," Mu Wan retorted coldly.

"Sister, you're wrong to say that, because you'll help brother pay it back. If the two of you pay it back, fifty years will be enough." Su Sui winked playfully and looked at Mu Wan with a smile.

Mu Wan's expression froze slightly, and she asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why should I help him pay it back? Do I owe him something?"

Just as Su Sui was about to explain, Shen Ge swiftly covered her mouth, saying calmly, "She's just a kid, talking nonsense. She probably thinks we're family just because we see each other often."

Mu Wan looked at Shen Ge with suspicion, clearly not believing his story, but now that Su Su was in his hands, she couldn't get anything out of her.

So Mu Wan made a note of this and planned to ask Su Su what she meant later. However, she always felt that this was not a good thing and guessed that Shen Ge was talking about her to Su Su again.

Arriving at a nearby side peak, they found a few people already there. After waiting a while, Li Kui stepped forward and said, "Forget it, let's not wait for those who haven't come yet. If they miss this opportunity, let them buy it from the sect themselves using Spirit Stone."

"Now, let's begin."

The gathering lasted for two days. Of course, people didn't just eat and drink; they also shared their cultivation experiences.

However, Shen Ge and Mu Wan were the weakest, so they mostly just listened and rarely spoke.

Leaving Spirit Medicine Peak, Shen Ge looked at Su Sui in his arms, who was drowsy from the immense spiritual energy, and smiled helplessly. He had only given her a small piece, but the medicinal power was still too strong for her.

"Su Su, don't fall asleep. Circulate your Cultivation Method to absorb the medicinal power, otherwise you'll sleep for a long time."

"Sleep, Su Su wants to sleep, brother, don't disturb me." Su Sui murmured with her eyes closed, not responding no matter how much Shen Ge called her.

With a sigh, Shen Ge shook his head and let her be. It was just a waste of some of the medicine's potency. Letting her sleep for a few days wouldn't hurt, and it would also give him some peace and quiet.

In the Desolate Valley, two figures flew out of the valley at lightning speed and disappeared into the clouds. The figure in front flashed with lightning, while the figure behind was enveloped in pink mist.

However, the two of them, one in front and one behind, didn't look like they were running away at all, but rather like they were chasing someone.

"Meng Yan, you bastard, stop right there! I'm the one who discovered the secret realm, how dare you steal the best stuff from me? Stop right there!"

Looking back at Bai Lili, who was still hot on his heels, Meng Yan smiled slightly and said, "Lili, let's go back. I owe you a favor for bringing me to this cave abode. The Azure Dragon Flag is quite nice."

These words completely enraged Bai Lili, who roared like a madwoman, "Bastard! If you have the guts, don't run away, stay here and let's have a fight!"

But Meng Yan wouldn't stop there. Both of them were now at the Early Golden Core Stage. He was slightly stronger, but only to a limited extent. If they started fighting, he wouldn't be able to defeat Bai Lili in a short time. Moreover, this place wasn't far from the Hehuan Sect, and he didn't want to be ganged up on.

Seeing that Meng Yan not only had no intention of stopping, but was running even faster, she had already left Meng Yan far behind.

Bai Lili was so angry she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't catch up, so she didn't even have a chance to vent her anger.

After chasing for thousands of miles, Bai Lili completely lost track of Meng Yan. Enraged, she began to frantically destroy the mountains in front of her. At this moment, she was like an exploding powder keg, and her previous alluring and manipulative image had long since vanished.

Meng Yan didn't go far; instead, he hid nearby. Although he was quite fast, it was still a bit troublesome to completely shake off Bai Lili. So, he seized the opportunity to speed up and then hid, just to make Bai Lili think that he had already flown far away.

Looking at the frenzied Bai Lili, Meng Yan remained calm, but thought to himself, "It seems I underestimated her. I already knew she was only good at seduction, but now it seems her other attack methods are just as strong. Luckily, I didn't get entangled with her earlier, otherwise, it's hard to say whether I could have escaped."

"There's so little information about this woman. It seems like she's hardly ever made a move since she debuted, and even when she does, it's always a crushing victory. It's really hard to see through her."

He shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it. Now that he was at the Golden Core Stage, he could escape as long as no three or five people of the same realm laid an ambush. Now he needed to think about his future plans.

Now that he has left Yellow Maple Valley and become a Rogue Cultivator Rogue Cultivator, the cultivation resources will be scarce. If he wants to advance further, he either needs to leave this Southern Barbarian Lands and venture out to the sea, or he needs to find an opportunity to return to Yellow Maple Valley. Of course, he cannot return openly, but secretly. His identity is not important, as long as the sect can provide Cultivation Resources.
