Chapter 18: The Veil of the Night
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a shroud of darkness over the forest, the caravan came to a halt. The weary travelers recognized the need to find shelter for the night, and the decision was made to settle under the protective canopy of a grove of mangrove trees.“Eliminate the creatures that dwell in the area.” A bald man with an enigmatic aura ordered the group of practitioners that were serving under him.Warriors from the convoy sprang into action, clearing a small area of beasts and other potential hazards to establish a temporary campsite.Within one of the tents, the atmosphere was calm and focused. The flickering glow of a lantern illuminated the space, casting shadows on the canvas walls.“Good evening, I am Yuan Yi and I shall be treating your wounds.” A woman could be heard speaking as she greeted the figure that was already inside meekly.Li Wuji sat on a simple cot, his wounds being attended to by the woman who had just entered, who displayed a remarkable ski

Chapter 15: Questions and Answers
 After the chaos caused by the wolves had subsided, two warriors from the caravan stepped forward to surround Li Wuji. Their eyes were sharp, their stances poised with vigilance, ready to strike Li Wuji at the slightest provocation.‘It’s only natural that they show such hostility to a stranger such as myself.’ Li Wuji understood the thoughts of the two men that were observing him with attentive gazes. ‘A shame their cultivation levels are still substandard, it won’t be a challenge breaking free from this encirclement….”Li Wuji felt a mix of conical humor and relief as he stood under the watchful eyes of the guards. He was relieved to see his own kind as they were a somewhat easier foe to face, it was even more so for Li Wuji considering he was an invincible existence below the Qi shattering realm.The guards surrounding him were merely in the mid-stages of the Qi shattering realm, it wasn’t hard for

The monastery glowed ethereally across the surrounding terrain, resembling a soft green and white curtain under the cover of night.If you want to properly enter the Qi-refining world, you need to keep your shape and steady your internal energy. An ancient voice rang out in the moonlit peace of one of the monastery's largest courtyards.In the middle of the courtyard stood an old man whose presence exuded wisdom and power.

Chapter 20: Trouble at Dawn
The following morning, as the gentle rays of dawn illuminated the surroundings, Li Wuji remained quietly nestled in his tent. The events of the previous night lingered in his thoughts, mingling with the expectation of what lay ahead. He needed this moment of solitude to gather his strength and prepare for the challenges that awaited him.‘My wounds are healing up nicely.’ Li Wuji casually felt the clean bandages that were wrapped around his wounds with a light smile on his face. However, the tranquility of the morning was abruptly shattered by a piercing scream that tore through the air. It was a sound that sent shivers down Li Wuji's spine, a scream he recognized all too well. The familiar sound was of a warrior that was in a great deal of discomfort. ‘Anything that can cause a grown man to scream out in such a way, cannot mean the journey will be as smooth as I previously thought.’ Li Wuji could only sigh at the thought of his plans being derailed once again. Li Wuji's eyelids sl

"This is how it transpired..." Ge Dao went on to explain the events that took place at the eastern wall between Yuan Cai and Wei Dong. “At first I wanted to personally go to the wall and claim the head of that foolish guard, but I decided to report the situation to you first."After hearing Ge Dao's report, Master Wu put down his cup and stared into the empty space above while stroking his white beard. "I have taught you well Ge Dao, you were able to resist the urge to retaliate. Instead, you decided to consult your teacher for advice, I must say well done."Despite consuming excessive amounts of liquor, Master Wu was still able to literate his sentences clearly without stuttering in the slightest.

Chapter 22: A Damsel’s Plea
After the disturbances in the camp subsided, Li Wuji was sitting quietly outside his tent, savoring some recently received warm broth. He was thinking about his goals for the future and a variety of other things."It's inappropriate that the beast has eluded my grasp thus far; however, I still have the opportunity to obtain the beast core that's still inside the body of that beast." With a simple expression on his face, Li Wuji submerged himself in the warm, juicy chunks of beef that bobbed in the soup. It was difficult to imagine what was going through his mind from the outside.Li Wuji had only been out of the Black Temple for a few days, having humiliatingly defeated Master Wei, the prison's overseer. To his dismay, he was unable to collect his reward, even though he was able to kill the white wolf with the beast core inside during that time."Brother Yang." A young man called out to Li Wuji as he was still sipping on the meaty broth. The jovial spirit behind the man's words was ea

Chapter 23: Unveiling Shadows
"So, this is what has become of this part of the camp." Ge Dao said to himself, "It has become as pathetic as a refugee site." Most of the tents at the site were shut off completely; it was almost like the settlers didn't wish to leave their tents unless absolutely necessary."There must be someone who I can ask for guidance." Ge Dao was at a complete loss for where to start looking. He continued to walk around the area in hopes of finding someone who could help him find the tent Li Zhao was residing in. The hunt went on till he discovered a man cautiously coming out of one of the tents. Ge Dao cautiously crept up on him to avoid rousing him out. What an unusual man! Ge Dao said to himself, 'Why would an individual be moving so secretively in the midst of the day?' The individual in issue was obviously weak and fragile in shape, and he appeared to be close to eighty years old. In addition, he was exhausted from keeping quiet as much as possible."He's going through a lot of hardships

Chapter 24: Relentless Pursuit
The reason Li Wuji had chosen to take up the task so quickly after recovering from his injuries was due to his insatiable hunger for power, it wasn’t something average martial practitioners like Chi Tang could understand. Despite making great progress with his Qi cultivation, Li Wuji understood he was lacking in terms of Body Refinement.‘That beast core should allow me to become a 1 Star Body refinement novice….’ Li Wuji understood that no matter how powerful his Qi Cultivation may be, it meant nothing if his body was still mortal making it susceptible to injury.The Body refinement ranks were as follows;[Body Refinement Beginner][Body Refinement Novice][Body Refinement Master][Body Refinement General][Body Refinement Lord][Body Refinement Sage]Li Wuji had been tempering his body all his life, but he wasn’t even a Body Refinement Beginner. It was imaginable the impact resources had on one’s cultivation progression, as the beast core of a White Wolf could easily allow to transc

The air in the tent crackled with tension as everyone's attention shifted to the newcomer, their gazes filled with curiosity and wariness.‘Is that Li Zhao?’ Ge Dao gazed at the mysterious figure that had emerged from the tent, He was not sure of the man’s identity, however, due to the black robe he was wearing. The mysterious figure, shrouded in a dark robe that concealed their features, stepped forward with a commanding presence. Their voice, still and firm, sliced through the heavy silence. " Tang Luo, release him,” ordered the cloaked figure, their tone brooking no argument.The mysterious man turned his attention on the bald man, who reluctantly loosened his grip on Ge Dao's throat.

Li Wuji's contemplation was interrupted by a surprising rustling in the nearby bushes. The party instantly went into high alert, searching the dense undergrowth for any signs of movement with their guns at the ready. Yuan Yi steadied herself; her senses sharpened, and she was prepared for any threat that might be hiding in the shadows.The air grew tense as a man cautiously emerged from the woods. The man was skinny and had glinting, wicked eyes and a sly smirk. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" he questioned, swaggering arrogantly as he surveyed the group.Li Wuji's fist curled into a tight ball as he fixed the stranger with a stern stare.
