After a long time.

  Li Qinghai passed through a dense forest oskirts of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

  This dense forest seemed more like a boundary.

  Ohrough, it was the true Monster Beast Mountain Range, and the view ahead became much more expansive.

  Li Qinghai tinued forward, climbing over a small hill.

  He vaguely heard the sound of people arguing.

  Li Qinghai listened carefully, then jogged in the dire of the sound.

  Soon, he discovered two male disciples from a se a clearing ahead.

  Li Qinghai didn't approach immediately but hid behind a rge rock to observe the situation.

  One of the disciples was at the fifth level of Qi Refi, tall and strong, holding a Spiritual Swring angrily at the other person.

  The other disciple was at the sixth level of Qi Refi, slender, with his arms crossed, looking rexed.

  Between them irit Transf Herb.

  Clearly, this was the main source of their flict.

  The strong disciple cursed angrily, "Zhao Feihu, this Spirit Transf Herb was clearly discovered by me first. You barged in and stopped me from pig it. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

  Zhao Feihu smirked, "Sun Ping, as the saying goes, 'finders keepers.' Since I saw it, shouldn't I get half?"

  Sun Ping was furious, "There's only one Spirit Transf Herb. How it be split in half? Once divided, the spiritual energy will dissipate. What's the use then?"

  Zhao Feihu feigned fusion, "Oh, is that so? The's not waste it. Just give the whole pnt to me."

  Sun Ping trembled with anger, "Zhao Feihu, yoing too far. Do you think I don't dare to fight you?"

  Zhao Feihu pursed his lips, "Sun Ping, in a duel, it's not about who's stronger physically. I'm at the sixth level of Qi Refi, you're at the fifth. What will you use to fight me? Be careful, or you might actally destroy your Spiritual Sword, and then you'll be g."

  Sun Ping could no longer ehe's try."

  Immediately, the two began to fight.

  The battle grew more intense.

  Sword fshes and spiritual energy iwined.

  The aftermath of the fight sent sand and stones flying, dust swirling.

  Li Qinghai had seen Yin Laomo and Jian Jiu duel before, broadening his horizons siderably, so he naturally looked down on this childish squabble.

  Although the power of their spells was average, it was more than enough to kill him.

  Great, they've already lost themselves in the fight. It's the perfect time for him to step out and court death.

  Li Qinghai stepped out from behind the rge rod shouted loudly.

  "Do you have no brains?"

  The two fighting heard someoually calling them brainless?!

  They immediately separated, pausing their duel.

  Then, with intense killing i, they looked at Li Qinghai.

  They wao see which fool dared to offend both of them at once.

  Li Qinghai could feel their killing i, and he couldn't be happier.

  He tio provoke them.

  "Don't you uand the saying 'when the snipe and the cm fight, the fisherman profits'?"

  "If I were that fisherman, and I attacked you when you're both injured, what would you do?"

  "Tell me, do you have brains?"

  "And you're fighting over a mere Spirit Herb."

  "You are both disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. Where is your unity, your camaraderie?"

  "If everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect were as shhted and selfish as you two."

  "Then our Azure Cloud Sect would be nothing but a pile of loose sand, destined for destru!"

  "How sad, how pitiful!"

  After saying this, Li Qinghai slightly raised his head, hands behind his back.

  On the surface, he looked worried for the sect, but inside, he was overjoyed.

  Not only did he scold them thhly, but he also mao deliver his st words.

  Truly a win-win.

  Heh, e kill me.

  Sun Ping squinted his eyes, his entire being exuding killing i.

  Being bullied by Zhao Feihu was ohing.

  But now, even a small cultivator at the sed level of Qi Refi dared to insult him.

  How could he tolerate this!

  Sun Ping snorted coldly.

  "A mere sed-level Qi Refi cultivator, speaking santly. Once I cut off your head, let's see if your mouth is still so tough!"

  Sun Ping gripped his Spiritual Sword tightly and was about to ssh at Li Qinghai.

  Li Qinghai watched the flying sword ing at him, his heart filled with excitement.

  Good, good, good.

  Faster, faster.

  However, before Li Qinghai could enjoy his excitement for a few seds.

  Zhao Feihu dashed forward like an arrow, sshing Sun Ping's Spiritual Sword away with orike.

  Sun Ping was furious, "Zhao Feihu, what are you doing? Didn't you hear? This guy just called us shhted and selfish. you swallow that insult?"

  Li Qinghai was also dumbfounded. What was Zhao Feihu doing?

  Does he not wao die so easily?

  Does he want to torture me?

  Fiorture me then.

  I don't feel pain anyway, as long as I die.

  However, Zhao Feihu shook his head at Sun Ping.

  "Sun Ping, if someone else said these words, I'd think they were being self-righteous, insulting my intelligence. But if it's the righteous Li Qinghai saying this, I have no doubt about his siy!"

  With that, Zhao Feihu looked at Li Qinghai, cupping his fists.

  "Fellow Daoist Li, your heroic a Cultivation Mountain two days ago is still vivid in my mind. You are a model for us cultivators!"

  Sun Ping suddenly excimed, "Li Qinghai? You're Li Qinghai!!"

  Zhao Feihu snorted lightly, "Of course, I was cultivating on M Cultivation Mountain at the time, and I saw everything clearly!"

  Sun Ping immediately showed a respectful expression, along with deep apology.

  "Fellow Daoist Li, I've heard of your deeds. Fag a powerful cultivator like Ye Feng, you remained posed and unyielding. Truly admirable. It's a pity I wasn't there, or I would have cheered for you!"

  Zhao Feihu sighed lightly, "At the time, overwhelmed by Ye Feng's might, I swallowed my anger among the crowd. Thinking back, it's truly shameful."

  Sun Ping nodded, "Thinking about what Fellow Daoist Li said earlier, we shouldn't fight among ourselves over a single Spirit Herb."

  Zhao Feihu put his rge knife bato his ste bag, "Fellow Daoist Sun Ping, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken your Spirit Herb earlier. You found it first, so it naturally belongs to you."

  Sun Ping walked over, picked the Spirit Transf Herb, and ha to Li Qinghai.

  "This Spirit Transf Herb is most effective for those below the fourth level of Qi Refi. It wouldn't be of much use to me, at most I could sell it for a few spirit stones. It's more fitting to gift it to Fellow Daoist Li, please accept it."

  Li Qinghai's mouth twitched.

  Why would I accept this?

  I'm here to seek death, not to receive gifts.

  Seeing Li Qinghai unresponsive, Sun Ping directly pced the Spirit Transf Herb into Li Qinghai's arms.

  "Fellow Daoist Li, I deeply admire your iy. Let this Spirit Transf Herb represent my respect!"

  Zhao Feihu praised, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Sun Ping to have such a side. If you don't mind, how about we go into the mountains together to hunt monster beasts?"

  Sun Ping cupped his fists, "I'd be delighted."

  Zhao Feihu took Sun Ping's hand, "Great, great, we've bee friends through this fight. Let's go!"

  Sun Ping paused, "Wait, let's say goodbye to Fellow Daoist Li first."

  Zhao Feihu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

  Then, the two cupped their fists towards Li Qinghai, "Fellow Daoist Li, until we meet again!"

  "……"

  Li Qinghai watched the two walk away, arm in arm, chatting and ughing, and stood there in a daze.

  This plot development was pletely different from what he had imagined...
