289: Crisis in the shadows

At the foot of Fox Mountain.

As soon as Xu Le returned, he was met with the concerned gazes of The three women.

"Absorb the Spiritual Qi properly, don't waste it!"

After a spirit dies, all of its cultivation will transform into pure Spiritual Qi and dissipate. However, the dissipation speed is very fast, and it will completely merge with the surrounding air in about ten minutes.

This time, with the Spiritual Qi from more than twenty Blazing Sun Realm spirits, the speed will be a bit slower, but it will become ordinary Spiritual Qi in at most an hour.

Xu Le didn't waste any time. He walked into the purest Spiritual Qi cluster and began to absorb and refine the Spiritual Qi.

Time flew by, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi was completely absorbed.

Xu Le finished his cultivation and looked at his panel:

[Name] Xu Le

[Occupation] Spirit Tamer

[Rank] Level 69

[Talent] Innate Divinity

[Strength] 1

[Agility] 1

[Physique] 1

[spirit] 709.98↑

[Skill] Paper Control Technique (the rest are sealed)

[Equipment] paper ring

[spirit source points] 1

He was only 0.02 points of Mental Energy away from breaking through to Level 70.

This was also because he returned too late, and most of the Spiritual Qi had already dissipated into the air.

"Brother, I finally advanced to the Bright Moon Realm. My little Dragon is finally not much worse than the sailor moon you gave me." Xu Huan jumped up and down excitedly.

The other two women were also very excited, their little faces flushed, clearly having also broken through to the Bright Moon Realm.

Xu Le gave a thumbs up: "Not bad! You only absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the Blazing Sun Realm three times and the Morning Star Realm once, and you successfully broke through to the Bright Moon Realm. As expected of my sister."

"That's...

Damn it!

Xu Huan angrily said, "Xu Le, you won't find a girlfriend like this!"

Xu Le: "..."

Night fell.

Since they were all Spirit Tamers, they weren't afraid of the dark.

However, just in case, Xu Le rubbed his hands together and conjured an SUV to travel.

Xu Huan was in charge of driving, while Xu Le directly climbed onto the roof, gazing at the starry sky to identify the stars.

Following the method in the book, which divided the starry sky into eight directions and sixty-four Star Domains, he found it very difficult just by observing the first domain.

Not only did he need to accurately identify the boundaries of the Star Domain, but he also needed to recognize the prominent stars, and then, based on the positions and brightness of the other stars, accurately identify their names.

What is learned from books is ultimately shallow; only by truly gazing at the starry sky did he realize how difficult it was to accurately identify all the stars, especially many dark stars that didn't emit light at all and required the book's methods to find them. To accurately distinguish them, he also needed the help of the surrounding stars.

Time slowly passed. After a night, Xu Le's eyes were blurry, and his head was dizzy, but he finally recognized all the stars in one Star Domain.

However, he also finally found his memory method. His speed would definitely increase significantly in the future.

The SUV sped forward, and Xu Le returned to the passenger seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Xu Huan, now in the Bright Moon Realm, wasn't worried about drowsy driving. She drove until noon, feeling hungry, before stopping the car.

"Brother, look, the beautiful scenery of the Spirit Realm, luxurious cars, unparalleled beauties, what else is missing?"

Xu Le pretended not to know, sticking his head out of the car window, searching around: "Unparalleled beauties? Where?"

Xu Huan chuckled: "Xu Le, you don't actually think you're funny, do you? You just offended three beauties!"

Wang Xueting and Liu Yilin nodded along, their little faces flushed.

Xu Le took out the delicious food made by Xiao Meng, and The three women immediately forgot all their unhappiness, devouring it with gusto.

Wang Xueting softly said, "Brother Le, we annihilated the Third Squad of the Legion yesterday, which might cause some big trouble."

"Aren't they all dead? What trouble could there be?" Xu Huan asked.

Wang Xueting: "Although they are dead, they wouldn't leave without telling anyone. To accurately intercept us, either there's a highly skilled diviner behind them, or someone checked our mission logs. Someone must know."

Xu Huan was dismissive: "More than twenty Blazing Sun Realm cultivators were killed. Even if they know it was us, who would dare to come looking for trouble?"

Wang Xueting shook her head: "It's not like that. Although they died, their Aristocratic Families are still there.

Although the Gu Family has declined somewhat in recent years, the Commander has always felt indebted to their Family. The connections the Gu Family has cultivated would probably be willing to help an old friend one last time.

Gu Guanhai's second daughter married Zhou Lingqi, the Commander's chief of staff. If he targets us, he has many methods.

The biggest trouble is the Zhu Family.

Zhu Chang'an, the heir of the Zhu Family, was specifically transferred to the Third Squad to wait for Gu Guanhai to step down and then take command of the Third Squad. Now that the Zhu Family has lost its heir, they will definitely go mad."

Hearing Wang Xueting's analysis, Xu Huan finally felt a little scared. She swallowed and asked, "Is the Zhu Family very powerful?"

Wang Xueting nodded: "The chief of staff of the White Tiger Legion is Zhu Xiaotian, the current head of the Zhu Family, and he is deeply trusted by the Legion Commander. If Zhu Xiaotian makes a move, the White Tiger Legion Commander will certainly not stand idly by."

Xu Huan didn't ask why Zhu Xiaotian didn't place Zhu Chang'an in the White Tiger Legion. Firstly, the interests of Aristocratic Families are intertwined, and the interests between legions are the same; secondly, there are only so many positions, and Gu Guanhai's position was clearly easier to obtain.

Seeing The three women frowning, Xu Le laughed heartily: "The enemy hasn't even arrived, and you're already scared! The best plan isn't endless scheming, but strength!

If one punch works, then use a hundred punches if it doesn't. If one comes, hit one; if ten come, hit ten. As long as you are strong enough, no one will dare to trouble you!"

Xu Le had originally thought that the purple patterns on Ghost were somewhat melancholic, but now that he spoke, he suddenly felt completely enlightened.

He felt as if the fog in his mind had been cleared, and his spirit naturally grew.

The Bottleneck that had originally bound him was suddenly shattered, and after stepping past the Bottleneck, all the refined Spiritual Qi that Ghost had collected yesterday surged over.

The three women heard Xu Le's bold words and couldn't help but gasp, feeling that a true man should be like this!

Then they saw him freeze, pure Spiritual Qi emanating from his body. With just one breath, they felt their cultivation soaring, so they quickly put down their food and began to meditate.

Half an hour later, yesterday's Spiritual Qi was completely digested. Xu Le had already advanced to Level 75, and his Mental Energy had surged to 992.62 points.

After breaking through Level 70, Mental Energy needs to increase by 50 points to break through one Rank.

This time, his five senses were further enhanced. Within a 7-meter radius, nothing could escape his perception;

Within a hundred meters, he could also vaguely perceive surrounding creatures. However, unlike the ultra-clear, omnidirectional, dead-angle-free monitoring within seven meters, within a hundred meters, he could only sense approximate locations, similar to red dots on a map.

What surprised him most was that he could sense malice within a hundred meters.

He turned his head to see a malevolent spirit, almost completely merged with a rock, glaring fiercely at him.
