The two left the cave but didn't dare to go far.
After all, this is the Red Fox Valley, and we may encounter powerful monsters at any time.
"Brother Dawu, just say whatever you want to say."
Xu Chunniang looked at the male cultivator in front of her, the big brother next door who had taken care of her in the past, and spoke softly.
Wei Dawu looked at the person in front of him. It had been eight years since the two of them entered Xiaoyao Sect. During these eight years, Third Girl Xu had really changed a lot.
In the past, she was an illiterate country girl, but now she has grown into a graceful female cultivator. Although there is a red birthmark on her face, which blemishes her originally pretty features, it does not in the least detract from her calm and composed temperament as a cultivator.
Anyone who sees Xu Chunniang in front of them will find it difficult to associate her with the ugly girl from eight years ago.
"What have you done in the past five years in the outer sect?"
There is nothing to hide. Xu Chunniang answered quickly, "I accepted the commission to plant the spiritual field and stayed in the spiritual field for five years."
Wei Dawu frowned subconsciously, but thinking that Xu Chunniang chose the spiritual plant husband major, he didn't say much.
"You were able to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi training in the outer sect alone in just five years, which has proven that your talent is not bad."
Wei Dawu was telling the truth. In fact, not all inner disciples were gifted, and quite a few of them had three spiritual roots.
However, their ability to enter the inner gate depends not only on their qualifications, but also on their background and connections.
For example, Huangfu Yao, her spiritual root aptitude is comparable to Xu Chunniang.
But Huangfu Yao not only had a good family background, but also had a good brother who was extremely talented and was favored by the Jindan elder of Danfeng. Therefore, she not only entered the extremely promising Danfeng inner sect, but also lived a better life than the ordinary inner sect disciples.
Xu Chunniang remained silent. She knew very well what her talent was. She was able to reach the seventh level of Qi training eight years after learning it. This was mostly due to the spiritual dew, spiritual rice, and spiritual soil she took.
If there were no support from these spiritual objects, it would be hard to say whether one could reach the fifth level of Qi training by relying solely on hard practice.
Seeing that Xu Chunniang seemed to have listened to his words, Wei Dawu felt a little relieved.
"Since you don't want to enter the inner gate as a follower, you should work harder on your cultivation. A low-level spiritual beast like a mole will only waste your energy and time. Throw it away, and I will find a better one for you in the future."
Xu Chunniang was somewhat moved.
To be fair, Wei Dawu didn't owe me anything, and his care for me was almost selfless.
If I were to speak of selfish motives, it was that I chose her as my escort last time because I thought she was from the same hometown and would be more loyal than others.
But it is impossible to throw Xiaobai away.
Not to mention that Xiaobai is very likely the legendary treasure-hunting rat, even if he is really just an ordinary mole, he has been with her for so long, how can she just throw him away
But it would be too risky to spread the news that Xiaobai might be a treasure-hunting mouse.
It is a crime to possess a treasure.
Wei Dawu's so-called suggestions were actually based on his own ideas.
He said these words without ever caring about her true thoughts.
After figuring it all out, Xu Chunniang's heart was calm when she spoke.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wei. But this mole is destined to be with me. I will not abandon it."
Wei Dawu was stunned, as if he didn't expect to be rejected.
No matter who heard his conditions, no one would refuse. After all, if they threw away a mole, they could get a better spiritual beast. Only a fool would refuse.
But then he remembered that five years ago, she even refused to become his attendant, and he was suddenly speechless again. It seemed that this was really a stupid thing that Xu Chunniang could do.
After a long silence, Wei Dawu finally spoke, "Do you really want to keep this low-level rat beast?"
Xu Chunniang hesitated for a moment and said a few good words for Xiaobai, "Xiaobai eats very little and is very obedient."
Wei Dawu's expression finally turned cold.
He laughed at himself in his heart, it seemed that he was meddling in other people's business after all.
"In that case, you should take good care of it."
Not wanting to say more, Wei Dawu said this and walked into the cave.
Xu Chunniang touched her nose a little embarrassedly. It seemed that she had offended Wei Dawu this time.
When she reached the front of the cave and was about to enter, her eyes fixed.
The formation was closed from the inside.
The concealment effect of the top-grade concealment formation is much better than the mid-grade formation in Xu Chunniang's hands.
With Xu Chunniang's seventh level of Qi training, it might take some time for her to find the center of the formation and break it.
But she only showed the fifth level of Qi training at this moment, and there was no way she could find the center of the formation.
Xu Chunniang spoke in a deep voice, "Dear senior brothers and sisters, please open the formation."
He said it three times in a row, but there was no movement at all.
In this situation, a soundproof array should be set up.
No matter how loudly the people outside screamed, the people inside couldn't hear a single sound.
The fact was just as Xu Chunniang expected. After Wei Dawu went in, seeing that Xu Chunniang did not come in with him, Qi Haozhi became more cautious. He not only closed the top-grade concealment formation, but also added a soundproof formation.
He did all this without any burden in his heart.
Qi Haozhi had disliked that ugly girl for a long time. If it were in the mortal world, he could kill this untouchable with just one word.
That is to say, after she entered the Xiaoyao Sect, she was unable to attack her fellow disciples due to the sect rules, which is why she has been able to survive in the outer sect until now.
The untouchables are the untouchables. Even if they have spiritual roots and enter the immortal gate, they cannot change this fact.
It would have been fine if the ugly girl had been hiding outside the gate, but since she had come to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range and was bumped into by him, she could only blame her bad luck.
Unless she directly attacks the formation, no sound can be heard.
If the ugly girl didn't dare to attack and stayed outside, there was a high possibility that she would be eaten by the beast.
If she dares to take action...
There was a calculating look in Qi Haozhi's eyes. He would make her pay for it!
No one else noticed what Qi Haozhi had done, only Huangfu Yao looked towards the cave entrance as if he knew something.
As the master of a top-grade concealing formation, no changes taking place in the formation could be hidden from her.
Huangfu Yao took a quick look and didn't see Xu Chunniang. She immediately understood that this ugly girl was probably locked outside by Haozhi.
Huangfu Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, showing that she was in a good mood.
Although she had already determined in her heart that she and that ugly girl were worlds apart, Haozhi's little action was actually to her liking.
Since Xu Chunniang, the outer disciple, was not there, not many people paid attention to her.
In addition to Huangfu Yao, Xie Lian, who had some hostility towards Xu Chunniang, also noticed it.
However, Xie Lian did not take it seriously, thinking that Xu Chunniang did not come in herself and had no idea that the formation had been tampered with.
The group of people were either meditating to relax their spirits or lying down to recuperate. Everything was so quiet as if nothing had happened.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, the formation was suddenly attacked, making a huge crash.
Everyone was shocked and immediately became alert.
Huangfu Yao frowned slightly, with obvious displeasure on his face.
It was probably the ugly girl's attack on the formation that caused the noise.
She was really brave and dared to attack directly. She really didn't take Huangfu Yao seriously.
