The waste she became the first array mage

"It's okay." Shi Yue explained to her that the ginkgo nuts could be stored for many days even if left outside. There was an awkward feeling between the two of them as they tried to make small talk, which was strange yet normal.

Li Yirou let out a breath, "He's gone." She sensed that the detecting spiritual consciousness had left them and was searching for someone else.

Since coming here, she hasn't had a good day. Not only is she injured all the time, but she also has to live in fear. Being targeted by a madman makes her unable to breathe.

Taxue in the space is still sleeping, and no one knows when it will wake up. Li Yirou is even more worried, afraid that it will not wake up.

Shi Yue saw the girl's eyes full of inexplicable sadness and worry, and felt very complicated, so she comforted her, "It has nothing to do with you. Whether you are here or not today, he will find a reason to kill someone."

"I thought Yijian Sect was a sect in the Western Realm that cared about the people. I didn't expect their elders to act like this."

Li Yirou smiled bitterly, "At least the leader looks pretty good."

Shi Yue was older than her after all, and she shook her head, "He was just pretending, otherwise why didn't he give that man even a little punishment." In her mind, Sect Leader Lu should have severely punished that foundation-building cultivator, and killing him would not be an exaggeration, but he didn't.

"Yes, but in this world, it's good enough to be able to pretend." Li Yirou sighed. Shi Yue was stunned when she heard this, and soon followed suit with a sigh. This was indeed the reality.

"I was almost scared to death when you were testing your spiritual roots." Shi Yue changed the subject, wanting to analyze with her whether it was possible for her to leave the Western Realm, and change the direction of the conversation first.

When the girl saw it, she felt disheartened because she had never seen anything bloody before.

"Me too. Luckily, he wasn't there when I was testing the spiritual roots of my disciples. Later, he heard me mention that only wood spiritual roots are dark in color. I was so stupid."

Li Yirou didn't want to talk more, so she lied and asked about Shi Yue's money-making, "Where in town can I buy Monster Pills at a fair price?"

"They are just some low-level monsters. The purchase prices don't differ much. A low-level dark monster pill costs 1 spirit stone, one with a faint color costs 10 spirit stones, and one with bright colors costs 50-100. That's basically it." She learned about the prices of monster pills, furs, and the like when Brother Chen joined the monster hunting team, but she didn't pay much attention to them afterwards.

"What is the most profitable thing here?" Li Yirou asked about the important matter, which was related to whether she could leave the Western Realm. Shi Yue thought for a while, "Alchemy and weapon refining, I believe these two things are the most profitable anywhere. Drawing talismans is also good."

...Li Yirou was silent. When refining pills, it was difficult to expect to refine normal pills with poisonous fire. If one wanted to hide the toxicity of the strange fire, the failure rate would increase exponentially.

She could consider refining the weapon, but she was too worried that revealing that she possessed a strange fire would bring her new troubles.

"What about hunting monsters?" After a brief thought, she rejected these two ways of making money. She didn't want to attract new attention before solving one problem.

"That's very dangerous." Shi Yue carefully analyzed the situation for her, "You should leave as soon as possible and try those three things to quickly collect enough spirit stones to leave."

"If I leave here, he may not let me go." Li Yiru seemed to have made up her mind. Shi Yue just found it unbelievable. Did she want to cultivate to the level where she could defeat a foundation-building cultivator within three years?

Seeing Shi Yue's misunderstanding, Li Yirou explained that she just wanted to make money while improving her cultivation and leaving the Western Realm as soon as possible. After all, she had already seen the backwardness of this place.

The second largest town, Baiguo, had only a section of street paved with stone bricks, and the rest was dirt. It looked somewhat similar to the dining hall in her sect, except that the house was made of bricks after all, and it was not as high-end as other places in the sect.

"By the way, Sister Xiaoyue, where can I buy Monster Pills?"

"Every morning and evening, there are people setting up stalls on that street to buy things..." Shi Yue saw that she had made up her mind. She was not a real sister, so there was no way she could persuade her.

In order not to spoil the fun, he and Li Yiru walked to the Baiguo Secret Realm outside the city. Manager Chen had already cleaned up the ground with some local monks who were willing to help.

Seeing Shi Yue coming, his originally heavy mood finally improved a little. When he was about to smile, he suddenly noticed the young man following Shi Yue. His face suddenly darkened, "Who is this!"

He didn't want the man to get close to Xiaoyue, always feeling that they had ulterior motives towards Xiaoyue.

Li Yirou glanced at him and didn't want to pay attention to him. But seeing that there were many people around, it was a sensitive moment, so she didn't want to show anything wrong. "This lady is worried that you will be too tired to clean up by yourself. It happens that I am also at the first level of Qi Refining, so she invited me to see if I can help Manager Chen."

When Brother Chen heard that it was Xiaoyue who felt sorry for him, he felt better. "I have packed everything, Xiaoyue. I don't need any pretty boy's help."

...Li Yirou was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned back.

After all, she is also a first-level cultivator, which is considered lower-middle class in this town, so she can't be completely without temper.

Seeing that she was still acting, Shi Yue thought that perhaps people who have experienced hardships will become stronger and will not give up when facing reality no matter how difficult or dangerous the situation is. She didn't need to worry that she would not make a choice.

Li Yirou sat on a wooden bench in front of the teahouse, meditating quietly all night like everyone else.

It was almost dawn, and some people were meditating while others were sleeping on the side.

Li Yirou was actually thinking about the woman who died innocently because of her. She thought that this neighbor girl was a Qi cultivator and she should be on her own so that nothing unexpected would happen to her. After all, she was carrying a huge sum of money at the moment, so she kept a wisp of her spiritual consciousness on her.

"My fellow Taoist, I want to go to the toilet. Can you help me look after this bamboo basket?" The woman came to her side quietly. Perhaps it was because Li Yirou accepted Shi Yue's invitation yesterday, which made the woman remember that she was kind-hearted.

Li Yirou nodded, put down the bamboo basket and walked away in a hurry.

A few people saw the woman leaving and wanted to catch up, but Li Yirou stood up and stopped them, "What are you doing?"

He stared at the cultivators with ill intentions with a slightly cold look, "Stop meddling in other people's business." Seeing that she was at the first level of Qi Refining and was alone, they knew that the three of them could definitely defeat her if they worked together.

The three of them had already discussed and decided to take action against that woman.

However, Li Yiru followed the female neighbor's spiritual consciousness and found that she did not go to the toilet at all, but ran away!

Well, a corpse is actually of little significance except for expressing the grief of the living. The most important thing is that the money can be given to the relatives of the deceased woman and they can find a way to let the child grow up and join the sect.

Before Li Yirou could say anything, the cultivator with the highest cultivation level among the group, the first level of Qi Refining, came up and pushed her. Li Yirou took a step back to avoid the attack, stalling for time and reasoning with them: "That was the money that bought this woman's life! How could you be so cruel!"

"When that elder killed someone yesterday, I didn't see you stand up, but today you want to snatch the compensation for a dead woman. Aren't you afraid that the head of Yijian Sect will find out and ask that elder to come and deal with you all?"

When everyone heard about Yijian Sect, they thought of the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had killed people like crazy. They looked at each other and recalled the scene of yesterday. They all felt a little scared, and the one with the lowest cultivation level had already shown panic in his eyes.

"How about, just forget it?" He began to back out.
