The hot June passed silently.
Luo Jing, who had been practicing alone in the mountains for more than a month, had also entered the last month of raising the fire fox.
—The seventh lunar month is even hotter.
The cultivators in the Transcendent Realm can go without food and keep their bodies strong.
But it is impossible to be immune to cold and heat.
After entering July, the hot weather made Luo Jing miserable.
On hot days, under the scorching sun, he had to go to the crater to sacrifice flint and raise the group of fire foxes.
Fortunately, this group of Firefoxes have been PUA-ed by Luo Jing using dog training methods for two months, and are now very well-behaved.
He didn't dare to kick Luo Jing at all.
So Luo Jing forcibly changed the schedule of this group of firefoxes, changing the daily meal time from noon to morning.
Around five or six in the morning, just as it was dawn, Luo Jing got up and went to the crater to offer sacrifices to the flint.
By around ten o'clock in the morning, they had prepared enough flint to feed all the fire foxes.
Before the midday heat wave rolls in, hide in the woods to cool off.
The small wooden house built on top of a huge tree was so hot at noon that it was not a place for people to stay.
These days, Luo Jing hides in the mountains after the afternoon to escape the heat. Sometimes he takes off all his clothes and jumps into the lake to soak, reciting his lessons while soaking in the cold water.
Anyway, there was no one in the mountain. Occasionally, the light of his disciples would fly through the sky, but they would not come to find Luo Jing.
The leisurely life continued until July 17th.
Luo Yanyin, who had disappeared for a long time, came again.
"Luo Jing Luo Jing, come out and tell a story."
The childish boy who had no playmates ran excitedly to Luo Jing to play.
Obviously, this junior sister no longer needs to go to the mountains to search for thieves.
In the past few days, Luo Jing also noticed that there were fewer and fewer escaping lights in the sky.
He smiled curiously and asked, "Have you found the thief who stole the Atlas?"
He had great respect for the person who was able to sneak into the Soul Refining Sect and steal the Cold Evil Jade Pendant.
And since the other party was able to sneak in, it shouldn’t be that easy to catch him, right
As expected, Luo Yanyin replied: "I found it, but not completely."
It was not beyond Luo Jing's expectations.
After all, it hasn't been found for so many days, so the probability of finding it is very slim.
The little girl didn't care about it at all. After all, it was the lineage of the Chousha Valley that lost it, so even if someone was held responsible, it wouldn't be her.
Luo Jing smiled and said, "Not completely found? What do you mean? Did the other party still run away?"
Luo Yanyin shook her head and said, "We found the body of the thief who stole the jade pendant, but we didn't find the jade pendant."
"The one who stole the master's relics was not someone from the outside world, but an inner sect disciple in the Sorrowful Valley."
"I don't know what tricks he used to sneak into the ancestral hall and steal the cold jade pendant, despite all the security measures."
"Two days ago, the body of the inner sect disciple was found in a valley not far from the Sorrowful Valley."
"But there is only a corpse, no Frost Evil Jade Pendant, and he has been dead for many days."
Luo Yanyin said: "The elders speculated that it was a powerful person who lurked in the sect and drove the disciple to steal the jade pendant."
"After getting the things, he killed the disciple and took the Frost Evil Jade Pendant away by himself."
"Judging from the time of that disciple's death, he had long since left the Manggu Mountains."
Luo Yanyin's answer made Luo Jing's heart move.
Immediately take the opportunity to inquire.
"Aren't the Manggu Mountains known as a natural barrier? I heard that under the sect's blockade, no one can leave."
"Even if the elders in the sect want to leave the mountain, they have to get the exit token before they can pass through the sect's formation."
"How did the thief escape?"
How to escape from the Soul Refining Sect has always been Luo Jing's biggest headache.
This demonic sect is heavily guarded and can be called a prison.
There are tens of thousands of miles of ancient mountains, and monsters are rampant. Only those with the cultivation level of the God Summoning Realm like Luo Yanyin can move freely in the mountains and avoid being easily attacked and killed by monsters.
But the monster is just one of the hurdles.
Among the mountains, there are formation flags and boundary markers, forming the sect formation that the Soul Refining Sect has been operating for many years.
Anyone who wants to leave the Mangu Mountains and go to the outside world must pass through the sect's formation.
But ten years ago, after the leader of the Soul Refining Sect ordered the mountain to be closed, the Soul Refining Sect was isolated from the outside world. Even the direct disciples could not enter or leave at will, let alone the inner disciples.
As far as Luo Jing knows, only those who have obtained the mountain entry token can enter and exit the sect's formation freely.
Secondly, when the outer sect recruits new members every year or purchases supplies on a regular basis, flying boats will also go in and out of the mountains.
But that kind of flying boat needs to undergo strict scrutiny to eliminate any possibility of spies and secret escape.
If an inner sect disciple escapes without permission, it is a capital crime and the sect will send people to hunt him down.
The life lamp in the life lamp hall is a shackle on the head of every inner sect disciple. Even if the escapee runs to the ends of the earth, the life lamp can be used to track down the escapee.
Fortunately, the lamp demon in the Life Lamp Hall has only the cultivation level of Summoning God.
Theoretically speaking, as long as Luo Jing could quietly cultivate to the God Summoning Realm, he would have hope of stealing the Life Lamp from right under the other party's nose.
But after stealing the life lamp, how to leave the Manggu Mountains is a difficult problem that Luo Jing has been thinking about.
The sect's large formation will confuse the sense of direction in the mountains.
If he didn’t have the token to leave the mountain, Luo Jing would not be able to fly out even after ten years in the mountain.
Perhaps the escape of this picture thief can give Luo Jing some inspiration
But Luo Yanyin shook her head and said, "If we knew how he escaped, we wouldn't have been unable to find him."
The sect's great formation was created by the founder, the Demon Refiner. Once it is activated, even the great cultivators in the Taixu realm will be confused and unable to escape easily.
As for the flying boats that could go in and out of the mountains, they had completely stopped operating during this period of time because of the thieves. It was impossible for anyone to leave the mountains by flying boat.
Moreover, when the flying boat enters or leaves the mountain, it has to pass through numerous checkpoints, and the passengers on the flying boat are checked in detail, even down to the breath of their souls, to prevent the possibility of spies from the outside world sneaking in.
Theoretically speaking, the Soul Refining Sect after closing the mountain is like a heavily guarded prison.
Without a token to exit the mountain, no one can enter or exit easily.
But that mysterious person was able to steal the master's relics without leaving any trace.
The more Luo Jing listened, the more he admired him.
This is truly a divine man...
He smiled and said, "Could it be a ghost?"
"If it is really impossible to escape, maybe the one who stole the jade pendant was not an outsider, but a traitor within the Soul Refining Sect?"
Luo Jing smiled and made a guess.
Luo Yanyin shook her head and said, "It can't be a ghost."
"When the elders discovered that the ancestor's relics were stolen, they immediately set up a tracking formation to track the aura of the cold evil jade pendant."
"But after the tracking formation was deployed, no trace of aura could be found. Apparently, the ancestor's relics had been taken tens of thousands of miles away. The distance was too far, beyond the range of the tracking formation."
"He flew tens of thousands of miles overnight... He must be a great cultivator in the Grand Void Realm."
"If the jade pendant is still in the sect, it is impossible not to find its whereabouts."
