Chapter 127: Return to Meiyun City

  Outside the canyon passageway.

  Qin Yong walked out and looked at the wind force that was gradually weakening in the canyon passage, spitting out a mouthful of turbid air.

  This line almost consumed the entire day's time, and the luck points were completely cleared to zero. Fortunately, luck points will not be negative, otherwise, this opportunity would have lost a lot of luck points.

  Undoubtedly, the gains from this trip were enormous. As for what the five people of Xun Jian Zong obtained in other channels, Qin Yong no longer thought about it. From Yun Yi Hu, Qin Yong already knew that the true treasures and legacies in the Xia Guan channel had been obtained by him, so even if the five people of Xun Jian Zong got something, they were just picking up leftovers.

  "Next, let's hunt down the demonic beast and raise our luck points before heading back." Qin Yong said to himself, his feet moving swiftly as he returned to the outer area of the Red Leaf Forest.

  At this time, Qin Yong was looking forward to taking the Flowing Cloud Water Intention Fruit and the True Yuan Qi Power Pill, and he also felt that Yun Yitao wouldn't deceive him. However, it's still better to be cautious. After accumulating enough air points and synthesizing a LV3 appraisal mark for appraisal, only then can he truly feel at ease after taking them.

  Moreover, the Red Leaf Forest was not a good place for cultivation, and the flow of energy was in a state of complete absence. Qin Yong also felt uneasy about it. Therefore, Qin Yong did not rush back, but instead quickly returned to the encircled area of the Red Leaf Forest, searching for low-level Xuan beasts that were alone and claimed dominance. At this time, Qin Yong's cultivation was still at the peak of the 9th level of Qi Wu Realm, but his strength was already comparable to that of a beginner in the Xuan Wu Realm, and he did not need to use the energy operation mark. He could completely rely on his own strength to hunt and kill.

  Two days later, Qin Yong finally left the Red Leaf Forest. At this time, Qin Yong's clothes were tattered and he had many scars on his body, looking a bit haggard. However, Qin Yong was wearing a faint smile, with the Wind Cloud Sword taken down from his back and held by his side.

  At this time, Qin Yong had fully adapted to the weight of the Wind Cloud Sword. Within two days, he had hunted and killed five low-level Xuan beasts, with the strongest being a peak third-level Xuan beast, the Lacerated Claw Wolf. The injuries on Qin Yong's body were inflicted by it.

  It was just a cracked claw wolf, Qin Yong had been dancing with it for half a day before barely killing it. These two days of time, Qin Yong relied on his own strength, fighting and honing, making Qin Yong more familiar with the use of intent.

  The first sword of the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique, the Wind and Cloud Dance, is enough to instantly kill low-level Xuan beasts. However, the consumption of innate sword energy is extremely large. Even under Qin Yong's control, with its power controlled at the mid-term level of the Xuanwu realm, the consumption of innate sword energy still exceeds 50%.

  Apart from this, Qin Yong also tried to use the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique. As a result, the consumption of his innate sword energy was not much, only because he couldn't comprehend the thunderbolt intent, so it wouldn't waste too much of his innate sword energy, and its power wasn't as expected, far from reaching the power Qin Yong saw in the spiritual space.

  Even so, the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique is not weak. At least Qin Yong compared it to Ma Wei's Fierce Tiger Knife Technique back then and found that even without infusing the Thunder Intent, its power was no less than the Fierce Tiger Knife Technique. It's just that Ma Wei's Fierce Tiger Knife Technique was continuous and unrelenting, with its power growing stronger as the attack went on, perhaps truly requiring comprehension of the Thunder Intent to suppress it steadily.

  At this time, with only ten days left until the one-month deadline, Qin Yong decided to return to Yunhai Sect and use this last period of time to cultivate diligently. Although at this point, Qin Yong could be said to completely overpower Ma Wei, he didn't become complacent because of it.

  Ma Wei is just a minor character among the outer disciples, and can only dominate in the Qi Wu realm. The truly powerful ones among the outer disciples are still those in the Xuan Wu realm. Qin Yong's fight with Ma Wei for their one-month agreement is just a small matter.

  "The demon beast materials were all stored in my storage bag, except for those needed for the sect's tasks. The remaining demon beast materials might as well be exchanged for spirit stones. Although within the sect, spirit stones are not as valuable as contribution points, I won't always be staying within the sect and need to go out frequently." Qin Yong thought to himself, and instead of immediately returning to Yunhai Sect, he headed towards Meiyun City.

  The demon beast materials can be sold to Tianbao Pavilion, and after killing five demon beasts, Qin Yong's aura points also broke through 10,000, reaching over 14,000. Although he still hasn't leveled up, which made Qin Yong slightly disappointed, but for now, his aura points were sufficient, so he didn't continue staying in the Red Leaf Forest.

  At this time, Qin Yong's strength was still only able to hunt and kill low-level Xuan beasts. However, if he consumed the Liuyun Water Intention Fruit and the Zhenyuan Gas Force Pill, his strength would once again undergo a qualitative leap. At that time, he could hunt and kill mid-level Xuan beasts with even higher aura points.

  Soon Qin Yong rushed to Mei Yun City, and his disheveled appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

  Many people pointed and whispered, among them were those who admired Qin Yong, because of his tattered clothes and wounds, which were inflicted by the demonic beast. Those who dared to hunt the demonic beast were all powerful warriors, earning great respect. At the same time, some people also looked at Qin Yong with disdain, as he indeed looked a bit disheveled. People who didn't know the situation would only think that Qin Yong had escaped from the demonic beast's clutches. The former were mostly ordinary civilians, while the latter were warriors.

  Qin Yong felt the gaze of these people, and his pace towards Tianbao Pavilion also stopped. It didn't seem right to go to Tianbao Pavilion like this, and he estimated that he would encounter trouble either way. Qin Yong thought for a moment, then changed direction, looking for an inn to stay in first, wash up and change clothes before doing anything else. This was Qin Yong's second time in Meiyun City, and last time he had only gone to Tianbao Pavilion. Now that he wanted to find an inn, Qin Yong could only ask someone for directions again.

  You have to ask the right person for directions. Qin Yong stood still for a moment, then walked over to a roadside stall selling small accessories. This roadside stall seemed like a fixed location, and such bosses were usually local snakes who were more familiar with the situation in Mei Yun City, making them one of the best people to ask for directions.

  Of course, Qin Yong wouldn't be so tactless as to ask the way directly, but instead walked over and casually picked up an ornament, a jade hairpin that wasn't particularly valuable but still looked pretty nice. However, Qin Yong hadn't come to pick out ornaments, he had just randomly grabbed one, then asked the vendor boss directly: "Boss, how much is this thing?"

  The stall owner sells small trinkets, and most of the regular customers are women. However, as long as someone is willing to buy, it doesn't matter if they're male or female. The stall owner took a glance at Qin Yong and immediately knew he wasn't particularly interested in trinkets, not some easy mark to be taken advantage of. So he quoted an honest price: "This jade hairpin is finely crafted with plum blossom patterns carved onto its surface, it's definitely a high-quality item. If you're willing to buy it, two taels of silver will do."

  Qin Yong nodded upon hearing this, two taels of silver was not cheap, but the craftsmanship of these accessories was indeed good. It seemed that although it was a roadside stall, it was actually mid-to-high-end. Qin Yong didn't think much about it, at this time he had already entered the realm where spirit stones were used as hard currency, and silver taels were no longer important. He only carried some with him for backup, and after casually handing over two taels of silver to the stall owner, Qin Yong asked: "Boss, I just came back from hunting and my whole body aches, do you know if there's any inn around here?"
