âIâm puzzled. Our cultivation levels are similar, so how come you guys can hunt so many and not get injured?â Ji Yang asked curiously, feeling that something wasnât right. However, they had indeed caught these magical beasts. They had all made an oath, so it couldnât be fake.
It was precisely because it couldnât be fake that he was so curious.
âSorry I canât tell you. Anyway, we caught these magical beasts and there is no doubt about it,â Leng Xiaoyao said.
Ji Yang was speechless, realizing that Leng Xiaoyao wouldnât tell him the truth.
Ji Yang didnât stay any longer and left with his companions.
However, when leaving, Ji Yang glanced at Leng Xiaoyao and the others, his eyes dark and unclear.
Leng Xiaoyao squinted. If Ji Yang dared to make a move against them, she would make him regret it.
Li Yao didnât leave with Ji Yang and the others. Instead, he stayed behind with Lu Chengfeng. After Ji Yang and the others left, Li Yao weakly said to Lu Chengfeng, âBrother Lu, Iâm sorry for leaving you just then. Can you forgive me?â
Before Lu Chengfeng said anything, Cheng Zi opened his mouth. âLi Yao, when you chose Ji Yang, you already betrayed Brother Lu. Now you want Brother Lu to forgive you? Just because Brother Lu won? If Brother Lu had lost, would you still come to ask for forgiveness?â
âIâŚâ Li Yao was struck dumb, not knowing how to answer because Cheng Zi was right. If Lu Chengfeng had lost, he might not have come to ask for forgiveness.
If Lu Chengfeng lost, Li Yao would only keep his distance from him.
âLi Yao, actually thereâs no need to talk about forgiveness. Although we are friends, we are individuals and no one can interfere with each otherâs decisions. So if you choose to be with Ji Yang, thatâs your business. I have no right to blame you,â Lu Chengfeng said. He didnât blame Li Yao, but he was honestly disappointed. So he wouldnât turn against Li Yao, but he couldnât treat him the same as before. At most, they would just be normal friends!
Li Yao realized that his relationship with Lu Chengfeng could never go back to how it was before. He regretted it a lot, but it was useless.
âLetâs go! Weâre already past the city gate closing time, so we can only camp outside,â Leng Xiaoyao said. Although she didnât like what Li Yao had done, she didnât judge him either.
Because the city gate was already closed, Ji Yang and the others couldnât enter the city and could only camp in the nearby woods.
To avoid conflict, Lu Chengfeng didnât approach them, but stopped thirty meters away from them.
Originally, Ji Yang thought Lu Chengfeng would come over to criticize him, but unexpectedly he didnât.
Lu Chengfeng was different from Ji Yang. If Ji Yang had won, he would constantly make fun of Lu Chengfeng, spreading it everywhere and turning Lu Chengfeng into a joke.
However, Lu Chengfeng didnât have that idea. Winning just meant shutting Ji Yang up and nothing more.
Moreover, he could win this time thanks to Leng Xiaoyao, so he had nothing to be proud of.
Even if he had won purely by his own ability, he would just say a few words on the spot and wouldnât go back to laugh at anyone afterwards.
Not only did the sect recruit disciples, but major families also recruited disciples. They were all disciples of the Long family.
In terms of strength, Lu Chengfeng was indeed not as good as Ji Yang, but in terms of cultivation talent, Lu Chengfeng surpassed Ji Yang.
Although both Lu Chengfeng and Ji Yang were at the peak of Foundation Building Stage, Ji Yang was already thirty years old while Lu Chengfeng was only twenty-two years old. So it was easy to see who had more talent.
However, because Lu Chengfeng joined the Long family later than Ji Yang, Ji Yang had made quite a few connections in the Long family.
On the contrary, there were only a few people who were close to Lu Chengfeng, and Li Yao had betrayed them now. Currently, the only person who had a good relationship with him was Cheng Zi.
Although Lu Chengfeng said he didnât blame Li Yao, there was already a sense of distance between them. It made Li Yao feel very uncomfortable.
He also knew that if he went over to Ji Yang, they would acknowledge him, but Ji Yang wouldnât really treat him as one of them.
Li Yao felt very annoyed.
Leng Xiaoyao took out her tent, as did Nan Weiyue.
Several people including Lu Chengfeng were surprised at the sight.
âIs this a tent?â Lu Chengfeng asked. It was obvious that it was a tent, but he had never seen one like this before!
âYes! Hereâs one for you,â said Leng Xiaoyao, generously handing over a tent to Lu Chengfeng.
âThank you, senior.â Lu Chengfeng accepted the tent and expressed his gratitude.
Hearing Lu Chengfeng call Leng Xiaoyao âsenior,â Li Yao was puzzled. Why did Lu Chengfeng address Leng Xiaoyao as senior?
Could it be that Leng Xiaoyaoâs cultivation wasnât limited to the Foundation Building Stage?
If that were the case, it would make sense for them to have hunted so many magical beasts.
Although he thought so, he wouldnât ask about it.
He had a feeling that Lu Chengfeng was about to get lucky, and indeed he was.
Lu Chengfeng had been at the peak of Foundation Building Stage for quite some time and was only one opportunity away from forming a golden pill.
In the middle of the night, Lu Chengfeng suddenly felt that he was about to form the pill. However, it wasnât safe here, and he was worried that Ji Yang and the others might disturb him.
Therefore, he immediately woke up Leng Xiaoyao.
âSenior, I have the tendency to form the pill. Could you please help me guard against any disturbances?â Lu Chengfeng said. Breaking through oneâs cultivation level was the most vulnerable time. Once interrupted or disturbed, one could easily get injured or even go berserk, which was extremely dangerous.
âNo problem.â Leng Xiaoyao didnât refuse and even generously gave him a golden pill. âTake this and focus on your breakthrough. Iâll set up a power gathering formation for you.â
Seeing the golden pill, Lu Chengfeng was stunned. Moreover, Leng Xiaoyao said she would set up a power gathering formation for him, which would make it even easier for him to form the pill.
Lu Chengfeng felt that he didnât deserve it but he couldnât refuse because advancing was such a rare opportunity!
Cheng Zi and Li Yao were envious, but Cheng Zi was not jealous whereas Li Yao was extremely jealous.
How could Lu Chengfeng be so lucky? Not only did he have good cultivation talent, but he also met an important person.
âThank you, senior. If you need me to do anything in the future, I wonât spare any effort,â Lu Chengfeng said earnestly. Although it wasnât an oath and there wouldnât be any punishment for breaking it, promises were still highly valued among cultivators.
âAlright, enough talk,â Leng Xiaoyao said, not saying anything more and immediately setting up the power gathering formation for him.
Lu Chengfeng didnât say anything more either and directly took the golden pill.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved instantly, and a surge of energy entered his energy center.
The power gathering formation was also set up immediately, and a large amount of magical power rushed into Lu Chengfengâs body from all directions.
Lu Chengfeng began to compress the energy with all his might.
