Chapter Fifty-two: Setting Out Again

  Cai Feiyun and the other two also woke up from their cultivation state, heard Xu Donglin's words and looked at Qin Yong, and indeed found that Qin Yong's breath had stabilized a lot.

  Yesterday, when I saw Qin Yong, I could clearly see the fluctuations of his true energy, and thus identify his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Wu Realm. Now, looking at Qin Yong, I only feel that his true energy is stable and his breath is internalized, making it not so easy to see through his cultivation.

  "It's just a small gain." Qin Yong smiled and didn't argue back.

  This is the power of sevenfold cultivation speed, just one night can make up for several days of hard work by ordinary martial artists. This feeling is very comfortable. However, the energy and blood replenished by eating tiger meat have been consumed by Qin Yong, and now he has recovered to six times his normal state. Qin Yong didn't rush to eat again, as they had to hurry on their journey, and eating now would be useless. He just brought the tiger meat that was cut last night with him, and will roast it for lunch or dinner later.

  "Fei Yun Shixiong, Dong Lin Shi Jie, I'm going to set off back to the Cloud Sea Sect. Let's part ways here." Qin Yong bid farewell.

  Cai Feiyun, Xu Donglin and the others came to Hongyelin for a task, last night was just a coincidence. Now that Qin Yong is returning, he naturally needs to bid farewell. If Cai Feiyun, Xu Donglin and the others happen to complete their task and are preparing to return, they can travel together on the way back, which can be said to be an opportunity for miscellaneous disciples and ordinary outer door disciples. Unfortunately, Qin Yong did not have such expectations, but instead prayed in his heart that he would never travel together.

  "Brother Qin Yong is leaving? Why don't you come with us and we'll head back together after completing our mission?" Cai Feiyun said at this time.

  "No, I'm also a burden here, affecting the performance of my seniors. Besides, I have something urgent to attend to in the clan, so I won't bother you seniors." Qin Yong refused.

  "Alright, but be careful, Qin Yong. Don't do anything like last night again, it's safer that way. Red Leaf Forest has been a bit dangerous lately, and even the outer circle isn't necessarily safe." Cai Feiyun didn't try to persuade him further, instead giving Qin Yong some final advice.

  Qin Yong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he thought of the situation where his horse refused to enter the forest. It was precisely because of this that Qin Yong had entered on foot. Having not discovered anything unusual for a day, Qin Yong had put it out of his mind, but now hearing Cai Fei Yun say this, Qin Yong felt once again that something must have changed in the Red Leaf Forest.

  "Qin Yong, don't worry too much, it's just that a few Xuan beasts have run to the outer circle. Qin Yong, be careful not to approach the junction of the outer and middle circles, and there won't be any big problems." Xu Donglin looked at Qin Yong, who had fallen silent, thinking he was worried, so she spoke up to comfort him.

  "It turned out to be like this, thank you for reminding me, Brother Fei Yun and Sister Dong Lin." Qin Yong said with a bow.

  The Xuan beast that ran to the outer circle, Qin Yong became a bit more interested. This made Qin Yong say that he was very interested in hunting demonic beasts, especially now that his aura was in this state. As long as he hunted and killed two or three more demonic beasts, or one Xuan beast, Qin Yong believed that his aura would definitely break through 1,000. The price of the Wind Cloud Sword Technique LV1 pattern was exactly 1,000 aura. Among the permanent aura patterns, there were many good items, but what Qin Yong desired most was the Wind Cloud Sword Technique. He had even thought about temporarily saving up aura before.

  Qin Yong finished speaking and left directly, only bringing some tiger meat. As for the others, Qin Yong didn't take them. Currently, the tiger meat is of the greatest help to Qin Yong, whether in terms of increasing his cultivation speed or using it to lure demonic beasts.

  Qin Yong's actions naturally caused Cai Fei Yun, Xu Donglin and the others to be shocked and speechless. Li Yun Cong even curled his lip in disdain, then hastily ran over to take down the tiger whip, instantly causing Xu Donglin and Mo Lan to curse softly and turn their faces away in disgust.

  At this time, Qin Yong left and walked for about half a day. The sky was already approaching noon. Qin Yong looked around and picked up some dry firewood to build a fire pit, and started roasting meat again. Qin Yong planned to use the old trick again, using the roasted meat to attract the beast. Of course, it was also for lunch, roasting tiger meat, Qin Yong stared at the surroundings, expecting some movement.

  After walking for about half a day, Qin Yong was far away from Cai Fei Yun and others. While roasting the meat, he also prayed that he wouldn't run into anyone again.

  The result was somewhat disappointing for Qin Yong, as the barbecue did not attract any other people, nor did it attract any ferocious beasts. As for the mysterious beast, there wasn't even a shadow to be seen. After Qin Yong finished roasting and ate two or three mouthfuls, he waited for a moment but still didn't see any movement, so he got up and continued on his journey once again.

  This time, Qin Yong only hoped to encounter some demon beasts on the way. After all, this was the Red Leaf Forest, and it was possible to encounter demon beasts just by walking around. As a result, Qin Yong was disappointed again. During this time, he indeed encountered two demon beasts, but they were both only first-level demon beasts. Killing them with ease would only yield fifty units of luck energy, which was too inefficient.

  By the afternoon, Qin Yong decided to change his route. At this speed, he could leave the Red Leaf Forest in two days. However, if he continued to encounter demonic beasts at this rate, he estimated that he wouldn't even be able to accumulate 1,000 aura points by then. To encounter more powerful demonic beasts, he had to change his route. With Qin Yong's current strength, even with the Aura Mark, entering the middle ring was still somewhat dangerous. However, in the outer ring, there were places adjacent to the middle ring that Qin Yong still had the confidence to explore.

  Qin Yong thought for a moment and quickly made up his mind. Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin had both warned him that now that the mysterious beast had left the inner circle, it might be lurking in the outer circle, making it very dangerous there. Qin Yong was originally somewhat tempted, but he didn't really have any intention of going after the mysterious beast. After all, Qin Yong's current use of the Air Transport Seal was also quite familiar and handy, but he had only used it to kill martial artists at the 9th level of Qi Refining.

  But now, in order to gain something, one must take risks. Qin Yong thought for a moment and made up his mind. The world of martial arts is a cruel world, where nothing can be done without danger. Qin Yong remembered his past self, who was indeed overly cautious, although it was due to the influence of the halo that made him become a homebody, hiding in the yard and not going out. But after all, it was his nature. Qin Yong had noticed the problem with his nature during this period and began to change, otherwise he would not have been able to face Qin Hong, Zhou Bo, or even Yun Shaoyang, and kill Xu Liu and Xu Qi.

  Faced with this situation, Qin Yong finally made a choice that a martial artist should have. A timid and fearful martial artist, no matter how strong their cultivation is, will not be a true strongman. Qin Yong's eyes were firm and resolute as he changed his original path and set out anew.

  At this moment, Qin Yong felt a change in his mood, as if there was a sense of sublimation. He even felt that it was only now that he could re-appreciate the original feeling, and that when he first gazed up at the starry sky, he had been closest to this state of mind.
