21: An existence that people look up to! Great Immortal! Wind Spirit Beast!

Today, nothing happened, I went into seclusion to Cultivate, the moonlight was bright, and my Cultivation reached Perfection.

Today, nothing happened, I went into seclusion to Cultivate.

Today, something happened, I had a big meal.

Tonight, nothing happened, I went into seclusion to Cultivate.

Today, I practiced a method and gained a little.

Today, I practiced a method and gained a little insight.

Today, I practiced a method and achieved a little success.

Ten days later, at night, Shen Li slowly rose in his courtyard, feeling the layer of Perfection Qi within his body, and nodded.

In two or three months, his Qi Refining First Layer reached Perfection. This speed was not fast, incomparable to the disciples Cultivating in the main Spiritual Vein.

But it wasn't slow either; it was much stronger than ordinary outer disciples.

He could Cultivate, but without abundant Spiritual Qi, he couldn't Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Second Layer.

He was startled awake from his meditation, not because he couldn't Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Second Layer, but because he constantly felt uneasy.

It seemed as if something bad was brewing.

So he stopped his Cultivation early.

Qiu Ya was in seclusion, so Wang Shan, one of the guards, took over the duty of protecting Shen Li.

Wang Shan's Realm was Acquired Perfection, naturally far inferior to Qiu Ya's profound Realm and her powerful combat skills.

However, this was Black Ridge City, and he controlled the Formation and the Little Vajra Technique, so there wouldn wouldn't be any major problems.

The moonlight was like water, and the two of them walked on the street.

Black Ridge City was indeed under martial law at night, so those patrolling the streets were the new watchmen recruited by the City Lord's Mansion, accompanied by two or three guards.

Fortunately, the area of Black Ridge City was not large, so not too many people were needed, and they could barely cope.

Originally, Shen Li thought of writing to the Shen Family to recruit more martial artists, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Although he was an Immortal Seedling, he couldn't just make demands without restraint.

The relationship between outer disciples stationed outside and the main family was somewhat special.

It was more like a transaction between two parties.

Therefore, it was more appropriate to use money for transactions whenever possible.

However, Shen Li had no money.

That's why he set his sights on the Black Horn Gang.

The Black Horn Gang's members were chaotic, but their combat power was undeniable.

With a little training, they would become usable soldiers.

Moreover, he was truly coveting Ruo Liuli.

It wasn't because of her beauty, but because a Yao Blood Grandmaster possessed strong combat power and high research value.

It was just that this Cultivation was too cruel, rarely seen in the interior, but if he encountered one and could subdue her, that would be for the best.

The moon was like sinking water, and the bluestone road was silent.

Some of the passing residences had lights on, scattered and somewhat abrupt.

Tonight's moon was a bit hazy, as if it was ashamed to be seen, so the visible distance was not far.

Fortunately, he was already a Qi Refining Cultivator, so he could see everything clearly.

Upon reaching the central axis and seeing the Living Spring Water Vein, Shen Li looked down.

A Water-Passing Pangolin Fish with wings, seeing this, flapped its way out of the water, splashing waves.

It still hadn't reached the Qi Refining Realm, but thinking about it, it was quite normal.

Entering the Qi Refining Realm was as difficult as, or even more difficult than, drawing Qi into the body for Qi Refining.

Continuing forward, the shops on both sides were somewhat dilapidated, with signs of patching, very crude.

Seeing this, Shen Li was helpless; the shops in Black Ridge City and Crescent Lake Market were worlds apart.

Black Ridge City only sold basic necessities, most of which Shen Li bought from Crescent Lake.

And what did Crescent Lake sell?

They sold Yao Beast fragments, Yao Beast meat, and even some Cultivator relics, a blossoming array of goods.

The fundamental reasons were, first, Black Ridge City was too dilapidated, and no one wanted to visit.

Second, the supporting facilities here were incomplete; even if people came, they wouldn't know where to spend.

Third, this place was full of local natives, with no new martial artists or adventurers coming, so there was no income.

Here, one couldn't Cultivate, couldn't find entertainment, couldn't spend money, and couldn't improve one's Cultivation; not even a dog would come.

Shen Li kept this in mind, but to improve this situation was still a very distant goal.

As he pondered his inner plans, Shen Li and Wang Shan strolled onto the city gate tower.

The city gate was still made of piled earth, two to three meters high, not to mention Yao Beasts, it probably couldn't even defend against martial artists.

One must know that Crescent Lake Market not only had a great city-protecting Formation, but also strong beast-hunting crossbows! There were also small Formations outlined by some Formation Masters on the city walls, which could even combine into a large Formation to defend against enemies on their own.

How powerful!

Their great Formation wasn't connected to Low-Grade Spirit Stones, but to a Spiritual Vein that could continuously generate Spiritual Qi!

There was no need to worry about consumption at all!

Let alone the Qi Refining Realm, even if two or three Dao Foundation Yao Beasts attacked simultaneously, Crescent Lake would not fear them!

Thinking of this, Shen Li sighed repeatedly.

But then again, how many years had the Wang Family operated Yellow Sand Plains? And how many years had they been here?

Thinking of this, his mind became much more balanced.

The guards on night duty saw Shen Li and bowed one after another.

"City Lord."

Shen Li nodded, gazing into the distance.

The distance was pitch black; it seemed there was no human habitation within a hundred li radius.

Although the Yellow Sand Plains at night lacked the scorching heat of the day, it became even more dangerous.

The probability of Yao Beasts appearing at night was several times higher than during the day!

Therefore, no one chose to travel at night unless necessary.

Shen Li looked into the distance, then looked up.

How did he feel that outside the great Formation, the moon above his head was becoming increasingly dim?

Just then, a dry breeze blew towards him.

The breeze carried a few grains of sand.

Shen Li frowned and muttered to himself.

"No, the Yunmai Heshui Formation has already filtered out a lot of dryness and blocked a portion of the dry breeze, so how are there still sand grains blowing in?"

Soon, his bad premonition soared.

The dry breeze in the air not only didn't weaken but increased, increased, increased further!

Finally, it became uncontrollable!

His clothes were swept up, and a vast heavenly might assailed him!

Outside the great Formation, a towering tornado seemed to want to overturn everything!

A tornado with a diameter of several hundred meters, or even larger, carrying irresistible power of natural disaster, raced towards Black Ridge City, where Shen Li was located!

Under this natural disaster, he felt an unprecedentedly violent Spiritual Qi!

This pressure! It reminded him of an extremely noble and terrifying existence!

A Dao Foundation Immortal Master!

Just as Shen Li was in a state of panic, he saw a blurred figure, indistinguishable whether it was human or beast, appear in front of the wind's eye.

He held a long whip in his hand.

The whip lashed at the invisible air, yet it unleashed extremely powerful force!

A crisp sound, like thunder, was heard within dozens of li!

Shen Li watched the scene before him, almost grinding his teeth.

This figure, like taming a domestic dog, whipped the hundreds of meters wide tornado, changing its course!

It headed into the distance!

At this moment, Shen Li's heart was filled with nothing but awe and shock.

After a long while, he looked into his heart and saw the words 'Immortal Fate' that had appeared long ago.

"Currently, a mysterious powerful individual is training a Wind Spirit Beast here. Slaying the Spirit Beast and killing the powerful individual may yield rare treasures: High Grade Magical Artifact • Wind Whipping Whip, Spirit Beast Inner Core • Wind Spirit Orb (Pseudo), Sand into Soldiers (Divine Ability), Bone-Scraping Gale (Divine Ability), Ming Sha Qi Consumption Method, Prajna Sutra, Sandstorm Burial Technique, Xun Wind Bone-Scraping Technique, Fire Python Technique, Medium Grade Magical Artifact • Cloud Gauze Robe, Medium Grade Magical Artifact • Wind Collecting Boots, Minor Sweet Rain Technique, Minor Sand Gathering Technique, ..."

Looking at the string of techniques, Shen Li gnashed his teeth.

"Cultivating Divine Ability, is he a Purple Mansion Great True Person who is about to pluck the Divine Ability fruit?"

"What virtue and ability do I possess to be able to kill him?"

"Stare."

Shen Li's expression was shocked.

"Another Immortal Fate?"
