[It was I who killed and seized the treasure, not you.] Li Changzhou said.

"Ah—"

"Senior!"

Li Changzhou didn't care and continued: [Also, it's best not to sell the things in the storage bag, and you should behave yourselves recently.]

"What happened, Lord God?" Xian'er asked anxiously.

She didn't care about the points.

[I have a rival at Moon Lake who chose the Nascent Soul Stage as his power.]

[This time I only killed one Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, and dozens at the Qi Refinement Realm, which is a trivial matter, but for that person, as long as there is the slightest suspicion, they can search wantonly, and in front of them, even a Nascent Soul Stage is nothing more than an ant.]

The three of them were filled with unease.

Li Changzhou smiled and said: [Don't worry, at worst I'll lose this competition, but you won't die.]

Xian'er noticed he said 'you'.

"Lord God, are you going to save Xiaoyue and Ni'er?"

[If they get discovered, can you escape? Since you can't, I will certainly act, so why not save them along the way?]

"Thank you, Senior!" Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni said excitedly.

About the previous events, Xian'er told them that the Lord God wouldn't save them, and that they should be careful and run first if anything happened, as she couldn't die anyway.

[Don't be happy too early, if things reach that point, or exceed the number of times I promised to make a move, I will end this match myself and leave this world.]

Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni immediately thought: Once Senior leaves, the data panel will disappear, and they won't dare to catch fish and sell spirit stones so recklessly anymore.

Xian'er found it hard to breathe.

Leaving this world...

She gripped the tree branch tightly.

Calming down, Xu Ni said: "That's fine, we planned to temporarily stop selling scale armor fish anyway, with the resources at hand, plus these thirteen storage bags, we can cultivate for a while. If it's not enough, I can disguise myself and sell in small amounts in different identities."

"Ni'er, it will be hard on you." Jiang Xiaoyue said.

Not only hard, but it would also be dangerous to go out alone.

"You guys also work hard on alchemy and talismans, I chose to be a merchant and have already prepared to take risks." Xu Ni said.

"Xian'er, I suggest increasing the spirit stones from 10 to 30 for one trip..." Jiang Xiaoyue asked, looking at Xian'er with a puzzled expression.

Xian'er snapped out of it and suppressed her emotions: "Hmm, I have no objections, thank you Ni'er."

Xu Ni teased: "Is this the first time Xian'er has seen such a bloody scene?"

"Still worried those people will come back as ghosts to find you." Jiang Xiaoyue also joked, trying to ease Xian'er's tension.

Xian'er shivered: "No way, I must quickly master the 'Ghost Escape Technique'!"

Both laughed heartily.

When dividing the storage bags, Xu Ni suddenly thought of an idea.

She said: "In the market, there are gambling snails, with many small spirit fish, spirit shrimp, and spirit crabs hiding inside. Sometimes, a moonlight eel worth hundreds of spirit stones can be found. Let's gamble, each pick 4 bags randomly, and whatever is inside depends on personal luck, how about it?"

"I'm okay with it." Jiang Xiaoyue said.

"Being a Pill Master sure gives you confidence." Xu Ni teased.

Jiang Xiaoyue imitated the Pill Masters she had seen, placing one hand behind her back and standing straight.

The female cultivator's magic robe emphasized aesthetics, accentuating her figure prominently.

"Xian'er, what do you think?" Xu Ni asked Xian'er.

Xian'er had no objections and asked: "What about the extra one?"

"Whoever gets the most spirit stones from the four storage bags gets the third?" Xu Ni proposed.

"No good." Jiang Xiaoyue the Pill Master shook her head slowly, exuding a sense of authority. "The extra one, whoever wants it pays two hundred spirit stones, the other two split one hundred each."

"Besides Xian'er, who has two hundred!" Xu Ni cried out.

"Four storage bags, and not even two hundred spirit stones? If not, then owe it for now."

... The outcome of the storage bag gamble is best left unsaid.

Xian'er swore never to gamble again; her four storage bags combined had less than Xu Ni's alone.

As the proposer, Xu Ni picked last, ruling out any possibility of cheating.

But she still suspected Xu Ni to have ulterior motives, falsifying practices and cheating secretly!

The Foundation Establishment Stage storage bag was claimed by her!

But, the Foundation Establishment Stage storage bag was picked up by Jiang Xiaoyue. Even though it had a full five spaces, mixed with the other one-space ones, it was hard to distinguish by appearance alone.

As compensation, Xu Ni took the extra storage bag and gave the others one middle-grade spirit stone each.

Foundation Establishment Stage female cultivators are quite poor, or perhaps they consumed too much along the way. Inside the storage bag, there were only three middle-grade spirit stones and two hundred thirty-two low-grade ones.

Even so, Xu Ni had now become a super-rich woman.

Not to mention some scattered magic artifacts and elixir pills.

Putting thoughts aside, Xian'er sat cross-legged on the bed, pondering over the events that had taken place along the way.

What had once intrigued her the most, how anyone could kill a Foundation Establishment Stage with just a little Qi Refinement spiritual power, now seemed insignificant.

She had more pressing matters to attend to.

After a long time, she took out a Spirit Revitalizing Pill, recovering her mana.

In the next half year, the three of them went into closed-door training, relying on the resources from the storage bags for cultivation.

Half a year later, after exhausting all the Qi Gathering Pills and Qi Condensing Pills, Xian'er had finally arduously advanced to the ninth layer of Qi Refinement, just a step away from Foundation Establishment.

Leaving Xian'er Cave, the formations of Xiaoyue Cave and Nun Cave remained tightly shut, as the other two were still in closed training.

Shuiyue Cave's formation was also sealed, but on the Foundation Establishment Stage's Task Stele—

[Task One: First to breakthrough to later Foundation Establishment] had changed to [Task One: First to breakthrough to Golden Core Stage]
