Chapter 87

Jing Qingyi said happily, "Zhao Shuo, you finally came out. If you didn't come out, we wouldn't know what to do."

Zhao Shuo asked in confusion, "What happened? Could it be that the remnants of Qingfeng Mountain have returned?"

Jing Qingyi shook her head and said, "With their leader killed, those lackeys don't have the courage to come back. The problem is that hundreds of powerful bone beasts are slowly climbing the mountain. In the past, the people of Qingfeng Mountain hunted bone beasts, so there weren't many around. But now those people have fled, and many bone beasts have run up the mountain. They might even run into this underground palace at any time."

Jing Busu said, "We brothers can handle ordinary bone beasts, but if a powerful one comes, we might be in trouble."

Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "I thought it was something else. Isn't the White Crane Dharma Body here? If those bone beasts dare to come, they will surely not return."

Hearing Zhao Shuo's words, Jing Qingyi and Jing Busu, Jing Bumie finally understood that the White Crane Dharma Body was so powerful.

Jing Qingyi, feeling relieved, quickly said, "Zhao Shuo, we found the treasure vault you asked us to look for. It's in the underground chamber."

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Really? Let's go and take a look at what treasures the dwarf Li has collected."

Under Jing Qingyi's lead, everyone entered the underground chamber. The chamber wasn't very large, and it was mostly filled with round and smooth essence pearls. For these essence pearls, they might be great treasures in the eyes of Jing Qingyi and the Jing brothers, but Zhao Shuo didn't care much about them. What truly caught his attention were the blocks of refining materials.

Heaven Crystal Stone, Five-Colored Jade, Longevity Wood, and many other precious spiritual materials, even innate materials, which were needed to refine spiritual treasures.

Just the collection in this chamber was enough for Zhao Shuo to refine a spiritual treasure. Although it was far less than what he had taken from the howling moon divine dog's collection in the Jiuhua Secret Realm, the dwarf Li's collection wasn't bad. At least many of the heavenly materials and treasures were what the howling moon divine dog didn't have.

Jing Qingyi was staring at a pile of shiny pearls with her eyes sparkling. Perhaps in this underground palace, the most abundant were these pearls. Almost any heavenly material or treasure was more valuable than these pearls.

But Jing Qingyi's nature hadn't changed. She stared at those pearls, and if Zhao Shuo hadn't come out, she would have collected them without hesitation.

Jing Busu and Jing Bumie saw Jing Qingyi's behavior and couldn't help but exchange a bitter smile. This leader would probably never resist the allure of coins, pearls, and other shiny treasures.

Zhao Shuo was taken aback by Jing Qingyi's appearance and shook his head with a smile. He knew very well about Jing Qingyi's greed. Now, seeing her like this, he knew exactly what was going on.

Bai Jianjia, who didn't know about Jing Qingyi's habits, was puzzled to see her ignore the many heavenly materials and treasures and instead stare at a pile of pearls with little use. She wondered if the pearls had some unknown function.

Looking at Zhao Shuo with doubt, Zhao Shuo chuckled and whispered, "You don't know. Qingyi was an orphan who took in Jing Busu and the others. She had to support several people, so she developed a greedy nature. Whenever she sees shiny things, her eyes light up."

Bai Jianjia nodded after a moment, and Zhao Shuo, while collecting the heavenly materials, said to Jing Qingyi, "Qingyi, don't daydream. Since you like those pearls, you can have them."

Jing Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and giggled, happily collecting the pearls and saying, "We're rich, we're rich. So many pearls, how many star coins can we get for them?"

The others were used to Jing Qingyi's madness and didn't pay much attention, even Jing Busu and Jing Bumie pretended not to see.

After collecting the dwarf Li's treasures from the underground palace, the five of them left the underground chamber. The cave looked very spacious. Zhao Shuo looked at Jing Qingyi in surprise and said, "Qingyi, how did your cultivation improve so quickly? You've reached the middle stage of the Essence Core realm."

Jing Qingyi blushed and seemed embarrassed, as if it was hard for her to say. Jing Busu said, "You don't know, Sister Qingyi has been living a good life on the mountain. We have to risk our lives to hunt bone beasts for essence pearls, but the people of Qingfeng Mountain provided essence pearls for Sister Qingyi to cultivate to leave a good impression on the dwarf Li."

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but laugh, making Jing Qingyi feel very uncomfortable. "I thought, since there was no hope of escaping, I might as well cultivate well. Maybe you would come to save me someday, and now it has happened."

Even Bai Jianjia couldn't help but laugh at the scene.

When Jing Qingyi stomped her feet in anger, Zhao Shuo quickly stopped laughing, looked at Jing Busu and Jing Bumie, and nodded in satisfaction. "You two are also doing well, reaching the early stage of the Essence Core realm."

Jing Busu and Jing Bumie said, "The essence energy in that pagoda is extremely abundant. If we could cultivate there, we guarantee that within half a year, we could reach the Solid Spirit realm."

Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "Alright, let's deal with the bone beasts outside first."

Exiting the cave, they saw a desolate scene. However, because the people of Qingfeng Mountain had either died or scattered, and with over half a month passing, many bone beasts had appeared on the mountain.

"Start hunting these bone beasts. Jianjia, you and Qingyi will work together, and I will work with Jing Busu and Jing Bumie. After we finish hunting the bone beasts on the mountain, we'll return to the cave."

No one objected to Zhao Shuo's suggestion. Jing Qingyi and Bai Jianjia smiled and went to hunt the bone beasts, while Zhao Shuo led the two brothers to find and hunt bone beasts.

These bone beasts varied in strength. The weaker ones could be used for Jing Busu and Jing Bumie to practice, while the stronger ones were handled by Zhao Shuo.

With Zhao Shuo's current Dharma Body realm cultivation, dealing with ordinary bone beasts was not a problem.

"Ah, Leader, something's not right!"

Zhao Shuo had just killed a short-tailed leopard bone beast and hadn't had time to collect the essence pearl when he suddenly heard Jing Busu's alarmed cry from nearby.

Without bothering to collect the essence pearl, Zhao Shuo flashed to Jing Busu's side, waved his hand to disperse a three-eyed wolf bone beast that was charging at him, but a powerful aura rushed towards him.

Zhao Shuo instinctively took a step back, his face filled with shock as he looked at the bone beast that was several zhang tall. At first glance, Zhao Shuo didn't recognize what kind of bone beast it was, but the bone beast didn't care. Its bony hand, covered in white bones, came down with a fierce strike.
