Xian'er sat on the ground, leaning against the stele, gasping for breath.

The caravan was fine, but the captain colluded with rogue cultivators;

After dying, people suddenly turned into evil ghosts and rushed into the array, coming behind her.

For a maid who hadn't stepped out the door three months ago and a newcomer cultivator who had been burying herself in farming, everything was too unfamiliar, too horrifying.

She stared at the cave's water curtain, her mind dazed, her eyes blurry, and everything started becoming unclear.

Her spirit was damaged again and again, making her nearly faint.

'I can't sleep!'

If she falls asleep, she might never wake up again; no one knows if the evil ghost has left, she could be strangled to death in her dreams.

Xian'er grasped the stele, struggled to get up, and relied on the cave wall to walk back to her little cave.

There was still a half-segment left of Concentration Incense.

She sat cross-legged in the light smoke, her eyes fixed on the cave entrance, her hands clutching a Thunderbolt Talisman and a Golden Light Talisman.

Until.

"Xian'er, we're back! Look quickly, see who we brought..."

The familiar voice came, she couldn't even hold on to confirm whether it was real or a disguised evil ghost and then fainted.

The three passed through the water curtain and walked into the cave filled with Spiritual Energy.

"Where is she? Xian'er!" Xu Ni shouted.

Shui Zhongyue looked around, her Foundation Establishment Stage Divine Sense filling the space like water, she saw Xian'er who had just fainted.

"Go check it out."

Her tone was flat, but it revealed a worrisome aura that made Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni anxious.

The two hurriedly rushed into Xian'er's small cave.

"Xian'er!" Xu Ni picked up Xian'er.

Jiang Xiaoyue sighed in relief: "Thank goodness."

As a mid-Qi Refinement cultivator, though lacking Divine Sense, her observation skills exceeded those of a mortal famous doctor, she could instantly see that Xian'er had only undergone spiritual exhaustion and fainted.

As for why she exhausted herself and how to repair quickly and safely, only the Spirit Doctor from Cultivation Hundred Arts would know.

The two were initially very spirited, but now calmed down because of Xian'er's condition.

"Ni, I'll stay here to look after Xian'er, you take the senior Shui Zhongyue to the stele." Jiang Xiaoyue said.

"Alright." Xu Ni glanced at Xian'er again and turned to leave.

Shui Zhongyue was already standing in front of the stele.

[What do you mean, you let your people take advantage of me?] Li Changzhou said.

The tasks he set now were all aimed at the Qi Refinement Realm, for Shui Zhongyue at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they could be completed with a wave of a hand, wasn't it taking advantage?

Moreover, Shui Zhongyue had been seen by "little rogue" (unknown player), once her whereabouts were leaked, it could very likely implicate Xian'er and expose him.

Chang'e replied: [Jiang Xiaoyue voluntarily invited Yue]

At this moment, Xu Ni walked beside Shui Zhongyue, explaining the stele and various panels to her.

"You need a drop of blood?" Shui Zhongyue slightly frowned.

"Yes." Xu Ni nodded.

'Don't worry.' Chang'e's voice was lazy and relaxed.

Shui Zhongyue's brows smoothed out, ethereal and beautiful, with a presence filled with Spiritual Energy and a peerless appearance, no wonder she was favored by Chang'e.

'I can join,' Li Changzhou said, 'but for now, you can't receive the tasks on this stele, wait until Xian'er wakes, I'll set up a stele for the Foundation Establishment Stage.'

Shui Zhongyue did not complain, she bowed towards Xian'er's private little cave, saying: "Thank you, senior."

Whether data panels or stele, they all required Xian'er's Spiritual Power, Shui Zhongyue thought for a while and handed Xu Ni a Jade Bottle.

"This is a Replenishing God Pill, give it to her."

"Second Rank, Third Level Elixir Pill?" As a shop clerk, Xu Ni had only heard of this elixir.

The Replenishing God Pill could quickly restore the spirit, allowing someone to continue training, the price was extremely high.

Shui Zhongyue didn't engage with the topic.

"Thank you, senior!" Xu Ni turned and ran towards Xian'er's small cave, she also wasn't afraid that Shui Zhongyue would use a Fake Pill, Broken Pill, or Poison Pill to harm anyone.

Xian'er's God is here, after all!

[Your disciple is quite aloof.] Li Changzhou teased with slight malice.

Chang'e didn't engage with the topic either.

With the Replenishing God Pill, Xian'er quickly woke up, her spirit radiant.

"Xiaoyue, Ni, there's an evil ghost!" She shouted with her eyes wide open.

"A bad dream?" Xu Ni was curious.

"Now that's funny, you even sold hanging ghosts." Jiang Xiaoyue teased her.

Xian'er grabbed Jiang Xiaoyue's shoulder: "The female cultivator surnamed Xu who was with Weng Liang turned into an evil ghost and came to me!"

"Your dream is quite logical." Jiang Xiaoyue was still laughing.

"Ghosts aren't so easy to appear, a mortal evil ghost is worth four Spirit Stones, a cultivator that turns into an evil ghost after death is at least 400 Spirit Stones." Xu Ni, based on reality, denied Xian'er's profiteering dream.

"Oh dear!" Xian'er didn't know what to say.

But they truly didn't believe.

Transforming into a ghost after death isn't actually uncommon... if you consider the entire Moon Lake.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Ni never saw a ghost, Jiang Xiaoyue had only seen the hanging ghost in Xian'er's hand.

Green Moon Square has people die annually, but no one hears about transforming into ghosts, they casually kill four people, how could there suddenly be a ghost.

It must be Xian'er's spirit exhaustion, making her confuse dreams with reality.

"No." Xu Ni remembered, "The first task on the stele... seemed like destroying an evil ghost."

Jiang Xiaoyue stared at Xian'er: "Are you serious?"

Xian'er rolled a big flirtatious white eye.

The two looked apologetically, showing a flattering smile.

They chatted a while longer, talking about events after they separated, Xu Ni took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Xian'er.

Her very own Storage Bag, Xian'er happily tucked it into her sleeve, then placed all talismans tied to her wrist inside.

"It's new, I used the previous one." Xu Ni said.
