14: Fairy fate appears again!

“Qiu Ya.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

“Are you tired?”

“Not at all!”

“Shall I wipe your sweat?”

“No need, Young Master.”

In the midst of the sand sea, a slender figure was treading forward.

The desert swallowed half of her calf, but her expression didn't change in the slightest; she merely pulled her leg out and continued forward.

And behind her... or rather, on her back, she was carrying someone.

To be precise, it was a chair.

Upon the chair, Shen Li held up an umbrella and kindly said,

“Then I’ll hold the umbrella for you.”

Qiu Ya was somewhat speechless, but she let Shen Li do as he pleased.

In reality, for an Innate Realm martial artist to carry several hundred kilograms was child’s play.

Not to mention the Shen Family Immortal Seed, her Young Master, who was pitifully thin, probably weighing less than a hundred kilograms.

It was as if she carried nothing at all.

It just didn't look very good.

Originally, Shen Li didn't want to trouble Qiu Ya, but his foot strength as a Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator was truly average, and he was slow. To avoid leaving traces, this trip was light and simple.

That's why Qiu Ya carried Shen Li forward.

Shen Li sat on the chair, took out a watermelon from his Storage Pouch, then cut it with a Spiritual Control Art, and ate a bite with a spoon.

He also cut half for Qiu Ya.

Qiu Ya took it and ate with great relish.

The dry monsoon wind brushed against his skin. Shen Li took out a porcelain bottle from his embrace. The bottle contained water from a Living Spring Water Vein, which wasn't of the Ninth Grade, but had a faint trace of Spiritual Qi.

He dabbed some on and then evenly spread it on his face.

Eating the watermelon, he couldn't help but sigh and say,

“This weather is really bad, and it’s so tiring.”

Qiu Ya no longer knew how to retort; she simply hurried on in silence.

According to the description of the immortal opportunity, they still needed about half a day to arrive.

And the Profound Yellow Qi would only appear after another day.

Time wasn't too tight.

Shen Li was also full of hope.

With the Profound Yellow Qi, he would have a Ninth Grade Spiritual Field. With a Ninth Grade Spiritual Field, he would have sea buckthorn fruit. With sea buckthorn fruit, whether for sale or for his own consumption, it would count as his cultivation resource.

Cultivating in the Huangfeng Mountain Range was simply too difficult. The feeling of not having a Spiritual Vein was like a fish without water, plants without soil, or a person living without air.

As they walked like this, after about half an hour, Qiu Ya said with some surprise,

“Young Master, look ahead.”

Shen Li turned his head to look and found some dark shadows on the distant sand dunes.

Looking closely, it seemed like ants crawling on the ground.

He rubbed his eyes.

“Hmm, it seems to be a caravan of camels. What, do you want to eat camel meat?”

Qiu Ya's mouth twitched, and she shook her head.

Her Young Master was good in every way, except his Heart-Nature was too unpredictable.

Sometimes he was terrifyingly profound, and other times he was slovenly and lacked proper decorum.

“It doesn’t seem right…,” Shen Li added.

“There seems to be a fluctuation of spell arts. It looks like there are Cultivators present? Perhaps they encountered some Yao Beast?”

“Should we go take a look?”

Shen Li waved his hand indifferently.

“Let’s not. It’s better to have one less trouble than one more. Don’t be so warm-hearted.”

The two continued on their way, preparing to bypass this group of people.

But for some reason, Shen Li always felt that these people were like lingering spirits; they not only didn't move away but also got closer and closer!

The shadows grew larger and larger, revealing several camels with mixed Yao Beast Bloodline galloping wildly.

They came head-on, and a roar was heard.

“Fellow Daoist, please stop! Please lend a helping hand, Fellow Daoist!”

Seeing this, Qiu Ya asked in confusion,

“Young Master, what should we do?”

Shen Li's gaze was profound, yet he said playfully,

“Didn’t they say, ‘Fellow Daoist, please stop’? Then we’ll stop.”

Qiu Ya was somewhat conflicted.

“But I sense the aura of a Yao Beast, Young Master. Do you have confidence?”

“To kill a Yao Beast?”

“No.”

“Then why are we staying?”

“If we can’t kill the Yao Beast, we can still kill the Cultivators!”

Qiu Ya felt her Physical Body inexplicably turn much colder. She looked up and saw Shen Li jump off the bamboo chair on her back, stepping on the soft, hot sand, and said with a smile,

“Bring me the Xiu Chun Blade.”

Qiu Ya obediently handed it over.

Shen Li formed hand seals, and a golden seal quickly took shape, then covered the Xiu Chun Blade.

A layer of gold faintly appeared on the Xiu Chun Blade.

Holding it in his hand, Shen Li continued to form hand seals.

The Little Vajra Technique cast gold upon Qiu Ya’s various vital points.

He smiled and said,

“To divert trouble in broad daylight, aren’t they treating us like fools?”

“Robbing wealth and harming lives, robbing wealth and harming lives is absolutely unacceptable!”

“Understood!”

And the Acquired martial artist rushing towards Shen Li, seeing Shen Li and Qiu Ya stop, brightened his face.

He was originally a member of the Bu Nu Team of the Luan Xiu Alliance. His daily duty was to abduct useful talents from the interior and bring them into the Yellow Sand Plains.

To serve the Luan Xiu Alliance like cattle and horses.

Of course, it was the kind without pay.

The first part of this journey was fine, peaceful.

But in the latter half, the Bu Nu Team's Human Race Qi and Blood were too abundant and vast, attracting a Qi Refining Third Layer Yao Beast. This Yao Beast had already devoured dozens of human lives, including some members of the Bu Nu Team.

It was almost his turn when he unexpectedly encountered Shen Li.

This was a huge surprise.

The Bu Nu Team carried two types of special powders. One powder could minimize one's own aura and Qi and Blood influence, making it less likely to be discovered by Yao Beasts.

The other, however, was made from human blood, medicinal herbs, and Yao Beast blood, which easily provoked the ferocity of Yao Beasts!

With this back and forth, having these two people as targets, he would definitely be able to escape!

Thinking this, his speed became faster and faster. Looking at the two figures, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

He paid no mind to the fate of the humans tied to the camels behind him and galloped straight ahead!

“Fellow Daoist! Save me!”

Qiu Ya took off the bamboo chair, then her Physical Body suddenly soared into the air, making a fierce sound as she charged forward!

The man's face suddenly changed.

“An Innate Realm martial artist? Have I encountered a ghost?”

His hand, which was about to pour out the powder, suddenly stopped.

Then... he put on a fawning smile.

“Senior.”

Before he finished speaking, he, along with his horse, was forcefully split in two!

Blood splattered and sprayed!

Qiu Ya's expression remained unchanged as she headed towards the rolling sand dunes!

With her Late Stage Innate Realm bursting forth, the ordinary iron Xiu Chun Blade in her hand became hard and sharp under the enchantment of the Little Vajra Technique.

In just three short breaths, the sand crab, whose surface was covered in armor, fell to the ground and finally let out a miserable shriek.

It ceased to breathe.

The gold coating on the Xiu Chun Blade and her vital points slowly disappeared, and Qiu Ya felt a sense of loss.

“This feeling of extreme sharpness, extreme keenness, and absolute hardness.”

“It’s truly captivating.”

Behind her, Shen Li looked at the suddenly appearing immortal opportunity with a strange gaze, falling into contemplation.

[Currently, there is a Spirit Farmer girl skilled in spiritual plant cultivation before you, from whom you can obtain the exotic treasure: Hundred Farmers Qi Eating Secret Record.]

“Can... people also be considered an immortal opportunity?”
