17: The Skeletons that broke into the village

Jiang Hanxi's spiritual power had recovered to its peak state, and she would be able to break through to the Gathering Spirit Realm in two days.

She could have broken through today, but it would have required some external assistance; now, she could only rely on time.

What surprised Jiang Hanxi, however, was that she couldn't see through this man.

It was just like with the Licentious Bandit Great Emperor; at that time, she also couldn't see through the Great Emperor Realm expert she was fighting.

But in the end, she still killed him, so it seemed it must be some special physique that prevented Jiang Hanxi from seeing through him.

However, this person was probably at most at the Body Tempering Ninth Layer.

None of this concerned her; after a temporary stay, she would leave here and head north.

If this man didn't have a cultivation method, he would probably eventually die of old age in this village or be killed by a demonic beast.

Jiang Hanxi naturally wouldn't give a cultivation method to someone she wasn't very familiar with for no reason; she wasn't as soft-hearted as the man in front of her.

With the system by his side, Wang Feng naturally couldn't be seen through by Jiang Hanxi.

This was also why Wang Feng wasn't worried about being discovered when he was with Jiang Hanxi.

In her previous lives, she had already discovered this invisible function.

"Are you asleep?"

Wang Feng looked at Jiang Hanxi, who had her eyes closed, and called out softly; he felt so cold.

"What is it?"

Jiang Hanxi kept her eyes closed, her tone as aloof as ever.

"Fairy Sister, I'm so cold~"

Seeing that Jiang Hanxi wasn't asleep, Wang Feng stopped speaking with a breathy voice, his words trembling from the cold.

"Bear with it."

After Jiang Hanxi finished speaking, she said nothing more, and Wang Feng had already cursed her countless times in his heart.

How could this person be so heartless?

Even if you don't take off your clothes and give them to me to wear.

You could at least take out a set from your Divine Sea Space and let me make do with it.

Because the bedding wasn't tight around his body, Wang Feng didn't dare to cover himself completely.

Otherwise, if he slept in the middle of the night, the herbs on his back would definitely rub off, and his wound would become even more severe.

Helpless, Wang Feng could only hug the quilt, covering his lower body and avoiding the wound on his back as he fell asleep.

He hoped he wouldn't move around in the middle of the night.

The peaceful days of recuperation passed quickly.

......

Time came to the seventh day.

During those seven days, every night, Wang Feng would be tied up on the bed, and Jiang Hanxi would be applying medicine to him!

The pig-slaughtering screams lasted for seven full days, and the villagers had long grown accustomed to them.

On the eighth day, they even felt a bit unaccustomed to not hearing them anymore.

"All the meat is gone, we need to hunt some more."

The six people from Liu Village prayed to the willow tree under Wang Feng's gaze.

Then they left the village; they didn't dare to ask Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi to go with them.

These were the great benefactors of their village; they just had to wait for them to return from hunting and eat meat.

The sheep, horses, and Tree Leopards in Jiang Hanxi's Divine Sea Space had all been taken out and eaten long ago.

Now, apart from some dried meat, there was indeed no food left in the village.

After seeing that everything was handled, Wang Feng also prepared to leave; the small favor from the willow tree had long been repaid.

He only helped them out of convenience for his mission and because of the villagers' simple kindness.

It was a way of repaying them for having a place to stay in this wilderness.

"Village Chief, do you have any pens and paper?"

Wang Feng found the Village Chief and asked him for these writing materials, but in the end, he only found bamboo slips made of bamboo.

Sigh~, just make do with it; it's not for his own use anyway.

"Village Chief, if there's an opportunity, you must build a temple for me, okay?"

Wang Feng planned to copy a High-Grade Yellow cultivation method and give it to the villagers to make their lives a bit easier.

This would also benefit him during his future tribulation; if he did more good deeds, the lightning tribulation would lean towards benevolent lightning.

The lightning tribulations in Heavenly Cang Continent were divided into two types: evil lightning for those who had committed countless murders.

The black lightning was incredibly fierce, and instead of nine bolts, there were eighteen.

The first nine bolts were beneficial, but the latter nine were purely destructive, providing no benefit to the body.

The second type was benevolent lightning, which depended on what kind of lightning it was; even if it was ancient powerful lightning.

At that time, the body's benefits would remain unchanged, but the power of the lightning tribulation would become weaker.

"You're leaving?"

Village Chief Mo Lei looked at Wang Feng and suddenly knelt down, startling Wang Feng, who quickly helped him up.

"Little Feng, for so many days, our village can be said to have been saved by you! I thank you on behalf of the entire village!"

The Village Chief, supported by Wang Feng, was extremely emotional; Wang Feng's kindness to Liu Village was indeed immense.

"Haha, if there's a chance, just erect a statue or build a temple for me, and bless me for a smooth journey."

"Definitely, we'll get it done once our village stabilizes."

Wang Feng chatted with the Village Chief for a few more moments, then left with a few bamboo slips.

Back in the house, Wang Feng began copying onto the bamboo slips, and soon, a High-Grade Yellow cultivation method, Stone Shattering Palm, was copied by Wang Feng.

The cultivation methods given by the system were all firmly instilled in his mind, so he wasn't worried about forgetting them.

In the afternoon, the hunting team returned, having sustained some minor injuries, and a few individuals carried several wild beasts or demonic beasts.

The villagers became busy again, starting to clean the flesh and blood.

Jiang Hanxi hadn't returned until evening, and Wang Feng couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He wasn't worried that she was dead, but rather that she wouldn't leave faster than him, would she?

He had even planned a silent farewell to see if he could leave a handsome impression in her heart.

"Brother Du, keep these bamboo slips safe."

During a break from eating, Wang Feng happened to give the bamboo slips to Du Gang, the captain of the hunting team.

Du Gang flipped through them, and the more he read, the more shocked he became; what kind of person was Wang Feng, to just give away a High-Grade Yellow cultivation method?

"This is too valuable, Brother Wang Feng, please take it back."

Du Gang stuffed the cultivation method back into Wang Feng's arms; the cultivation method he practiced was only a Mid-Grade Yellow heart method he had accidentally obtained.

He had cultivated for more than ten years to barely reach the Gathering Spirit Realm.

"If I tell you to take it, then take it. Let the villagers practice it more. I'm sure you also want the people in the village to live better, right?"

Seeing Du Gang's hesitant expression, Wang Feng simply pushed it back into his arms.

"Take it, practice more, talk less."

"Mm, thank you!"

Du Gang cupped his fists in thanks and finally accepted the Stone Shattering Palm.

In truth, he still very much desired this cultivation method; it was human nature.

Bang!

Everyone heard the sound and looked over; in the darkness, Jiang Hanxi, covered in wounds, stumbled in through the opening of the green barrier she had cleaved.

Following her was a skeleton riding a skeleton horse, holding a large long blade.

It raised the large long blade in its hand and slashed at Jiang Hanxi.

Jiang Hanxi raised her dim Cold Sword to block, and her entire body was sent flying by the large blade.

The green barrier repaired itself quickly, and there were countless evil spirits outside.

Fortunately, only one skeleton riding a skeleton horse had entered.

The willow tree's branches rapidly extended, and with a thud, it struck the skeleton's head.

The skeleton riding the bone horse also raised its blade to meet the attack.
