Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Jinyue closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed. The spiritual energy contained in the ginseng was continuously absorbed into her body. Her strength, which had not improved for a long time, began to loosen slightly.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and focused on guarding her mind. She continuously circulated her inner Qi to speed up the absorption of the spiritual energy.

Time passed slowly, and Su Jinyue felt her energy center getting hotter and hotter, as if it was about to explode. She knew that this was the sign of a breakthrough, but compared to the previous two breakthroughs, this feeling was stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a cracking sound in Su Jinyue's energy center. Following that, a wave of inner Qi that was stronger than before quickly overflowed and filled her entire energy center and her limbs.

“Master, you've broken through!” The little elf cried out in excitement. It would also receive a lot of benefits if its Master broke through. Its body had become more substantial because of the spiritual energy overflow this time. As long as it could recover its form, it could help its Master fight the enemy.

Su Jinyue opened her eyes, which were filled with surprise and excitement. Her strength had already broken through to the advanced Yellow Rank. Although she was still weak in the eyes of the ancient martial artists and cultivators, it was not that easy for ordinary people to bully her.

Su Jinyue shook her head helplessly as she looked at the ginseng that no longer had any spiritual energy. It seemed like she still needed to find more items that contained spiritual energy if she wanted to become stronger. Otherwise, it would be too slow if she wanted to increase her strength just by cultivating.

She raised her wrist to look at the time. It was already past eleven at night. Su Jinyue got up and took out a coat from the wardrobe to put it on. She planned to go to the mountains now to see if she could find anything.

After walking out of the house, she saw that the sky was still filled with dark clouds due to the continuous rain for the past few days. It was so dark that one could not even see their own fingers.

However, this did not affect Su Jinyue in the slightest. After the increase in her strength this time, her eyes had also been upgraded to the third stage of the Wisdom Eye. Even if she used her X-ray vision for half an hour now, her eyes would no longer feel as tired as before.

Su Jinyue quickened her pace and ran out of the village. Due to the increase in her strength, her speed was also astonishing. In just half an hour, she had already arrived at the Calabash Mountain that everyone in the village avoided.

Calabash Mountain was the tallest mountain amongst the few mountains outside the village. The name came about because it looked like a calabash. Because there were all kinds of terrifying legends about this place, even in the years when there was no food to eat, the villagers would rather starve to death than come here to dig up wild vegetables.

Su Jinyue stood at the foot of the mountain and raised her head to look at the towering Calabash Mountain. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and ran up the mountain with determination in her eyes. She had been to all the other mountains except this one, but she had not gained anything. In order to increase her strength, she decided to take this risk.

The path on the Calabash Mountain was steeper than the other mountains. As there were no signs of human habitation all year round, the weeds here were taller than humans. Even though Su Jinyue had experience in climbing mountains, her speed did not increase much.

When she was halfway up the mountain, Su Jinyue suddenly felt a trace of cold wind. Just as she was about to turn back and take a closer look, that trace of cold wind quickly attacked her from behind. She hurriedly dodged and whipped out the sickle in her hand.

A white shadow brushed past Su Jinyue's side. Su Jinyue followed the shadow and looked over, but the shadow had already disappeared. This Calabash Mountain is indeed strange. She didn't know if the shadow just now was an animal or a ghost. Initially, she didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, but since she could be reborn, what else was impossible?

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Su Jinyue continued to walk forward. It was impossible for her to not be afraid. Even though she had some strength now, she had never come out alone so late at night before, not to mention coming to a mountain that was already scary to begin with.

The rest of the journey went smoothly. Su Jinyue never saw that shadow again. From time to time, she would see some rare herbs, but she did not see any herbs that contained spiritual energy.

The sky gradually turned bright. Su Jinyue sighed in disappointment and sat down under a tree. She had been busy the entire night but had not found anything. She planned to rest for a while before looking deeper inside. Last night, when she came out, she was afraid that her Teacher would be worried if he did not see her in the morning, so she left a note on the table. Her Teacher would probably see it in the morning.

She closed her eyes and circulated her energy for a few cycles. When she regained her strength, Su Jinyue once again set off into the depths of the forest.

After walking for a while, Su Jinyue stopped and quickly found a secluded place to hide. She actually heard the sounds of fighting up ahead. Whether she had heard wrongly or not, she could not be rash.

Using her X-ray vision, she looked in the direction of the fighting sounds and saw two people fighting.

The two of them were equally matched. From the bloodstains on their bodies, one could tell that they were both injured.

“Su Yanxi, don't even think about escaping today.” The man in black guffawed sinisterly as he brandished his saber. He leapt into the air and slashed at the man in blue.

The man in blue sneered and waved the long sword in his hand. He gathered all his strength to meet the opponent's saber, and his aura was not any weaker than the man in black. His elder brother had been ordered to go to the capital city, so the mission to find their sister had landed on him. His actions were already very discreet, but his enemies still discovered his whereabouts and chased him here.

“Clang!” An intense sound of collision rang out, and sparks flew in all directions. Both of them were knocked back several steps by this strike.

The two of them paused on the spot for a moment before attacking each other once more. The intense battle continued, and every move they made was ruthless, leaving no leeway at all.

Su Jinyue watched the fight between the two of them in shock. She finally understood what it meant to be strong. In front of them, she was no different from an ordinary person.

Su Jinyue's gaze was fixed on the two people fighting. She clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with a strong desire for strength. I must cultivate hard and become as strong as them one day.

The two men in the fight parted again, but this time the man in black didn't stand for long before he collapsed to the ground, quickly losing his life.

The man in blue used his sword to support himself on the ground, not allowing himself to fall. This time, his injuries were not light either.

Su Jinyue hid in the bushes and did not dare to move, afraid that the other party would discover her and silence her.. Even if the other party was injured, she might not be his match.
