Ihe house.

  Li Yaowen rubbed her three fiogether, seemingly deep in thought.

  Suddenly, she froze. The aral tablet in her arms floated up, and a line of text appeared before her.

  [ the Beast-Loving Tribe be trusted?]

  "Aor!"

  Li Yaowen's face lit up with joy. "As expected, you've also noticed it."

  In front of the s, Li Wei's toes curled. He only had a vague feeling of distrust. As for what he had noticed... he had noticed that Shou Qing swayed her hips when she walked, like a ci.

  Li Yaowen smiled faintly. "Aor, the Beast-Loving Tribe, after all, does our Li family's food. They and I are merely cooperating."

  As she spoke, Her expression turned pyful. "However, this time, they agreed a bit too readily."

  Li Wei grinned.

  He uood now. It seemed the Beast-Loving Tribe ying a new game.

  Unlike Li Yaowen in the game, Li Wei narrowed his eyes, his voice turning cold.

  "In that case... they've really miscalcuted!"

  ...

  Hundred Mountains.

  The three Li family youngsters were moving forward.

  The Wu 's territory was ihe Wu 's territory. Poisonous miasma was everywhere, Wu traps could be seen all over, and many Wu members were hunting in the forest.

  Fortunately, they were all people who had e through trials and tributions.

  Traps? Poisonous miasma?

  What kind of trap hadn't Li Tianyi seen in tombs? What kind of ghostly miasma hadn't he evaded?

  Formations?

  What kind of pce hadn't Li Tianming barged into?

  As for the Wu members... Li Tianqi would strap a tortoise shell to his back, lure them away with his wild shouts, and always return safely.

  "I thought the Wu was so fearsome. Turns out they're nothing special."

  Inside a small cave, Li Tianqi, whose body was pletely bed by Wu teiques, pulled out the hundred or so arrows from the tortoise shell on his back.

  Li Tianyi picked up an arrow and exami, his eyes lighting up. "Tianqi," he said, "quickly go and lure them around again! These arrows are all made of Ninth-grade materials. Bring back more, and our family fe a lot of artifacts. Isn't this faster than me robbing tombs?"

  "... Big Brother, do you think I'm some kind of tortoise shell meant for colleg arrows?"

  Li Tianqi rolled his eyes. "We'll reach Hundred Mountains soon. Brother Tianming... huh? Where's Brother Tianming?"

  "Yeah, where's Tianming? Did he go missing?"

  Li Tianyi was also stunned. He was so focused on dodging that he fot about Li Tianming.

  Just then, a sound came from outside the cave.

  "I'm over here!"

  Li Tianming walked in, grinning, with what looked like traces of freshly wiped blood at the er of his mouth. He avoided their eyes, feigning innoce. "I just got lost," he said.

  "I don't believe you. Where did you go..."

  Li Tianyi had barely finished speaking when...

  "g!"

  A bowl slipped from Li Tianming's arms and cttered to the ground. His expression ged, and when his two brothers noticed the spatial ring on his finger, he quickly hid his hand behind his back, looking flustered. "Mine!" he excimed. "It's all mine! Don't even think about taking it!"

  But in the sed, he inned down by Li Tianyi and Li Tianqi.

  "Tell us, where did you just go?"

  "I... I went to steal things from that tribe that was chasing us! Ah! Don't take my spatial ring! I should have knower than to put it all in the smallest ring; it 't hold everything!"

  A moment ter.

  The three brothers were dividing the loot. Li Tianming pouted with a wronged expression. The tribe he robbed was small; there wasn't a single spiritual artifact. He had even stuffed their iron bowls into his spatial ring.

  The three brothers exged gnces, eaderstanding the mischievous glint ihers' eyes. A shared smirk spread across their faces.

  [Your desdants are on their way to Hundred Mountains. They have decided to observe the situation there while simultaneously looting all the nearby Wu members.]

  [Your family has obtained many spoils of war.]

  [Low-grade on artifact: Warm Jade Bed]

  [Yellow-rank cultivation teique: Golden Vine Sixfold Fsh]

  [Pitchfork...]

  "'t you guys focus on the mission?"

  Li Wei's eyelids drooped. He had assumed these three would be cautious in Wu territory, but as soon as he switched the view, he saw them w with a clear division of bor: Li Tianqi drawing the enemy's fire, Li Tianyi log treasures, and Li Tianming breaking formations and killing...

  Seeing these three together, Li Wei could already foresee the Li family's future notoriety.

  But despite their chaotitics...

  They hadn't fotten their main objective.

  Half a month ter.

  [Hundred Mountains]

  True to its here were a huall mountains here, standing out starkly in the Endless Forest. Amidst the lush greenery, the hundred barren mountains were pletely bald, devoid of aation, with only scattered rocks and stos that had onvaded the Li family wandering about.

  On the mountains, various caves were visible, and one could see traces of the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe's past inhabitation.

  Li Tianyi and the others were currently in one of these caves.

  This time, twe elderly figures appeared behind Li Tianyi. If he hadn't given four to Li gyao, he would have had even more.

  [Your desdant emerged from cultivation. Recalling the enter with the soul of a Soul cultivator in a previous tomb, and following the advice of twenty-three elderly figures, he followed in the footsteps of his predecessor and absorbed all the remaining living Soul elders in Azure Clion into his body.]

  [Gairait: Elder Harvester]

  [He more easily find the souls of predecessors and gain the favor of their remnant spirits.]
